**Host:** Tim Carroll

In this rib-tickling yet slightly grim episode of Tall Tales & Short Yarns, we step into the Muddy River Hotel, a dive where the drinks are stiff and the company is rough around the edges. Here, we find Cranston O'Leary, a man whose formidable stature is overshadowed only by the battle scars he's wearing on his once-imposing face. His friends, a motley crew of hard-knocks themselves, are itching with curiosity to unravel the story behind Cranston's bruised visage and the gruesome gash that marks his forehead.
Cranston, the man built like a fortress, is adamant about keeping the details to himself, despite Benny the Jet's relentless prodding. The jukebox sets the scene with "Bad to the Bone," but little do they know, the tale behind Cranston's wounds is far from the brawl they imagine.
Rewind five days, and we discover the root of Cranston's woes is not one of fists and fury but a battle of a more... personal nature. What ensues is a harrowing saga of constipation, desperation, and an ill-fated trip to the bathroom that leaves our protagonist in a dire and messy predicament.
Join us as we explore the lengths to which one man will go for relief, and the unexpected consequences of pushing beyond one's limits. This episode is a messy mix of humor and humility, reminding us that sometimes, the most epic battles are fought in the solitude of one's own bathroom.
**Note:** Be prepared for an episode that might just have you laughing until you cry—or at least until your sides hurt. This story is not for the faint of heart or the weak of stomach, but it's a reminder that sometimes, life's most humbling moments make for the best stories. -

In this contemplative episode of Tall Tales & Short Yarns, we delve into the poignant verses of "The War Goes On" by poet Jim Eves. With each measured line, Eves paints a harrowing landscape of conflict, a tableau where boundaries are drawn not just across lands, but through the very heart of humanity.
In a world where wars seem to emerge from the ashes of the old, Eves challenges us to consider the lines that divide us—lines that once etched, render us blind and deaf to those on the other side. The poet's voice becomes a mirror, reflecting the all-too-common estrangement and the tragic loss of comprehension among fellow beings.
As the poem unfolds, we are confronted with the stark reality of those ensnared by war's relentless grip. For them, the battlefields extend far beyond the physical, waging war within their spirits, leaving scars that time alone cannot heal. Eves's words echo the somber truth that for many, the war never truly ends—it simply lies in wait, a specter ready to ignite anew.
In a daring act of defiance, Eves suggests our only armor may be denial, a turning away from the spectacle of war, a refusal to acknowledge its existence. But is this ignorance truly bliss, or does it pave the way for the next cycle of despair?
Join us as we explore these profound questions and navigate the shadowy corridors of conflict and the human condition. This episode is not just a listening experience; it's a call to introspection, a summons to gaze beyond the lines we draw and to seek the threads that bind us all.
**Note:** This episode is a must-listen for anyone who's ever pondered the cyclical nature of conflict and the power of the human psyche to both create and deny the existence of the very wars that shape our world. -

Host: Tim Carroll Audio Designer: Anton Tall Tales and Short Yarns
In this episode of Tall Tales and Short Yarns, Tim Carroll takes us on a journey through the mystical backlands, a land where dreams intertwine with ancient spirits and time itself. We are reminded that we are all part of the grand cosmic scheme, here to navigate our journey on this wondrous orb. As guardians of the seeds, protectors of the sacred, we can harmonize with the universe, speaking in gentle whispers or blowing our truths. The world is our muse, a source of inspiration guiding us, beckoning us to glimpse the mountains, stars, and the flowing river of time. We are here to groove through the planet, preserving its beauty and the symphony of life at all costs. We fill this world with ancient melodies, with the amber flow of existence, like a phoenix, strange and beautiful, the road made to turn at its end. But it's a journey with a purpose, the rhythm of life itself. -
- **Host**: Tim Carroll - **Audio Designer**: Anton **Introduction**: - Welcome to the revamped "Tall Tales and Short Yarns" podcast. - A space for short stories to ignite your imagination, provoke thought, induce laughter, and perhaps even a tear. - A heartfelt tribute to Tim's old friend and collaborator, Eric Camillary, who tragically passed away. This episode is dedicated to him. - Special thanks to Anton, Eric's friend, for stepping in as the new creative collaborator. **Main Story - "The Passage of Time"**: - Darius Van Damier and his wife Eileen move to a picturesque location overlooking the coastline. - Their home becomes a hub for family gatherings, with their six children and growing number of grandchildren frequently visiting. - The couple's life is marked by joy, tears, and shared memories. They become confidants for their adult children, offering wisdom and understanding. - As the years go by, visits from family become less frequent. The grandchildren grow up, and some start families of their own. - Despite the changing seasons and the passage of time, the view of the coast remains constant. - The story concludes with a poignant scene: Darius and Eileen's graves, side by side. Their once frequently visited resting place now stands eroded and forgotten, much like the memories of their time on earth. Thank you for joining us on this emotional journey. Stay tuned for more tales and yarns in upcoming episodes.

**Welcome Back! ** After a brief hiatus, we're thrilled to bring back the tales you love. Whether you're a long-time fan or just tuning in, this episode promises a deep dive into the human psyche. **Synopsis: ** Dive into the mind of Zebidiah Atwell, a man caught in the web of his own carnivorous cravings. Raised on the principle of eating whatever was served, Zebidiah's childhood memories are punctuated with a catchy song lyric that nudged him to finish his meat. But was it Pink Zeppelin? The name eludes him. Fast forward to adulthood, and Zebidiah's palate has expanded, but so has his conscience. From hamburgers to ribs, steaks to seafood, his love for meat is undeniable. Yet, the morality of his choices weighs on him. Are humans merely the apex predators, or is there a deeper responsibility that comes with being at the top of the food chain? While Zebidiah's vegan friends might shame him, and his love for dairy remains unshaken, the sight of innocent animals on TV stirs something within. Can he reconcile his love for meat with the pang of guilt that comes from seeing those very animals alive and curious? **Tune in** as we unravel Zebidiah's Conundrum, a tale of appetite, ethics, and the journey to find one's own truth. --- **Note: ** This episode is a must-listen for anyone who's ever questioned their dietary choices or grappled with the ethics of consumption. Join us on this introspective journey!
