It’s been a long month away from the show and the viewer messages have been pouring in! Where have you gone to? Where is our Addy Daddy? Are all these missteps in programming just a ploy to quit?? Addison gets candid about the questions regarding our last episode. Nicholas lashes out at a listener (and former coworker) on a bad day. Nicholas discusses plans to write a book about the Garden City, KS music scene. We’re back by semi-popular demand!!! (Music by: “Hills Like White Elephants” by The Stiletto Formal.)

On this episode of “Tall, Dark and Random” we examine the strange territory of pregnancy dreams from both the female and male prospective. What do they truly tell us about our fears and worries? How do they help us cope with a head full of the unknown? We examine a few incredible dreams including a baby kidnapped on horseback, a husband snapping because the baby wouldn’t stop crying, and Addison finds himself the sexual subject of a listeners wildest fantasies. Nick gives Addison a couple of nicknames based on said dream. Addison closes the show with a terrific piece honoring mothers everywhere. It’s an episode you absolutely do not want to sleep on!!! This episode is dedicated to memory of Phillip Lee Rice, neighbor, veteran and lawn care badass (February 10, 1946-May 17, 2020). Music: “She’s Enough” by Atmosphere.

On this episode of “Tall, Dark and Random” we celebrate our dedicated, patient listeners and examine a few of their comments after weeks of our audio troubles. We piss off a random listener to the point he explodes and writes in with a tirade. We share an encouraging message from a listener who lends some hope to a furloughed employee who wrote in last week. Nick opens up about finding confidence and the strength to move forward after a year of grief and uncertainty. Addison shares a couple of stories from his childhood and explains how he lost his two front teeth. It’s great to be back in the realm of the audio capable! Music: “New Orleans” by Peter Bradley Adams.

After two weeks of recording errors and audio issues, five wasted hours and hundreds of F-bombs later we bring you 40 mins of a two part Q&A we were able to salvage from the rubble. We talk insomnia, anxiety, we get deep with a listener who has been furloughed due to Covid-19, Nick gets irked by a petty question and we tell the tale of why meeting pro wrestler “Million Dollar Man” Ted Dibiase was a five hour car trip of wasted time on par with creating this episode!!! It’s a Q&A action bonanza that apparently wasn’t supposed to make air!!! Music : “Bull in a China Shop” by Honor Bright.

We’re back!!! After a three week absence from our regular programming we return with more random goodness! On this week’s episode we analyze a listeners dream (which we were in), we talk about Nicholas’ last visit to Colorado and the high times that ensued, how awful the pandemic is making certain people, coping with jaw injuries and much, much more!! It’s covid states, dream states and legal states galore on this week’s return episode that you definitely don’t want to miss!!! Music: “Smoke Ya Later” by The Acacia Strain.

With Nicholas still on the mend, today’s episode is the very first episode completely hosted by our velvety voiced, motivational co-host Addison Morgan!!! Join us for a completely different type of show as Addison shares some poetry, personal feelings and motivational outlooks. It’s touching, deep, smooth and highly mister Roger-ish!!! It’s an Addison Morgan solo extravaganza!!! Music: “Robin Hood” by Anson Seabra.

Due to unforeseen circumstances we were unable to provide an actual episode this week. I am having tremendous pain in my teeth and jaw due to my TMJ Syndrome and cannot talk for extended periods of time and have spent most of my days this week wearing a mouth guard to ease the pain in my jaw joints. Instead, please enjoy a couple of stories I read aloud from my book “Me, Myself and I Hate You : Stories of Adventure, Lust and Shitty Paychecks”. These were some practice reads I was doing with plans to put my book on Audible (and never did). We’ll be back in a couple of weeks with some actual quality programming. Thank you to those who are still tuning in each week despite all the chaos in the world. Take care of those in your home, call a friend and remember we’re all in this together. Music: “Worlds to Run” by Busdriver (feat. Milo & Anderson Paak)

On this episode of Tall, Dark and Random we talk about the dark side of guilt tripping and delve into the subject of emotional blackmail. Has someone ever made you feel bad about who you are to control your relationship? Has a spouse or loved one ever threatened suicide or physical harm to gain the upper hand? Has a spouse ever made you feel bad for wanting time to yourself? We will uncover many instances of emotional blackmail and take a trip back into our pasts as we navigate you through the types of characters and situations the subject of emotional blackmail manifests. **We are still experiencing some technical issues on this week’s episode. We will be trying a new recording method to correct this issue next week. We apologize for this inconvenience.** Music: “Exactly What You Want” by The Scarlet Ending.

On this episode of “Tall, Dark and Random” we examine how friends, family and our significant others often use guilt to manipulate our actions. From the fairly harmless to the more serious, guilt is often something most of us do not even realize we are projecting. Do you have someone in your life that indirectly uses guilt or shame to control your actions? How can we be better about recognizing guilt in our interactions? How can we better communicate and find more direct ways to get our point across? We answer these questions and more on this weeks episode. **note: we apologize for cutting the episode short at a random point. There was a slight issue with the audio being off in the last 20 mins of the program that was impossible to correct. We’re not sure what happened with the feed but the question and respond was slightly off, and very hard to understand. It began sometime in the latter half of the convo and got so bad that we were forced to trim it completely at a point. We apologize for anything you hear that is slightly off. We will revisit the last ten minutes on next weeks part 2 and get you up to speed before we continue with the “emotional blackmail” portion of the topic.** Music: “Hootin’ and Hollerin” by The Lovelorn. “A Wolf I’m Sheep’s Clothing” by This Providence.

On this episode of Tall, Dark & Random we take a closer look at the “H.A.L.T” method. Many people fall victim to their anxiety, stress, addictions or depression due to reasons that could be avoided. Often times when we are hungry, angry, lonely or tired we can find ourselves making small issues grow larger, leading us down dark paths we later lament or regret. These four issues are deeper than you ever thought and small changes to how you recognize symptoms of each can greatly change your life for the better. Also on the program we answer all the pressing questions involving the recent coronavirus pandemic. Did you panic and buy hoards or toilet paper this week? What triggers people to react with fear? Would you ever be hungry enough to eat a Heath bar? We’re back this week refreshed and rejuvenated!! Music: “Gravedigger” by Blindside.
