    Can a Tick Bite Stop You Eating Meat?! | Bill Gates, Rum & Conspiracies

    Can ticks really make you allergic to red meat? And why are conspiracy theorists connecting them to Bill Gates, farmland and the future of food? In Episode 23 of BYOB, Neill, Lee and Craig investigate alpha-gal syndrome, a real tick-associated meat allergy, before diving into theories about engineered ticks and a supposed campaign to stop us eating beef. Meanwhile, the lads sample two premium spiced rums: Mutiny from The Rum Company and Pull The Pin Spiced Rum, before discussing the mysterious metal band President and their genre-blending music. Plus, Little John's alien origins, questionable mouthfeel conversations and the chaos of recording three episodes in one night. 🥃 Featured drinks Mutiny Spiced Rum — The Rum Companyhttps://www.therum.company/shop/p/mutiny Pull The Pin Spiced Rum — Pull The Pin Spiritshttps://www.pullthepinspirits.com Both brands kindly supplied drinks for independent review.

    Real Ghost Stories, Ouija Boards & Rum | BYOB Halloween Special 👻🥃

    Things get spooky on the BYOB Halloween Special! Lee and Neill swap the usual format for personal ghost stories, eerie childhood memories, and unsettling urban legends. 👻🥃 Neill reveals the creepy goings-on in his childhood home in Australia — including mysterious music, a shadowy figure, and a scary reflection in an oven door... plus the chilling moment his mum later confessed she heard the exact same music. Lee brings sleep paralysis, a terrifying shape standing in a dark doorway, and midnight Ouija board sessions in graveyards to the table. The lads also break down phantom hitchhikers and ask whether ghosts are real or just tricks of the mind. Of course, the spirits are flowing at the BYOB bar: 🥃 45 Hound Black — Shenanigans Runny Honey Rum Liqueur (24% ABV) 👉 https://45houndblack.com/ (Use Code: 45HB10 for 10% off) 🥃 Titan Spirits — Orange Rum (40% ABV) 👉 https://titanspiritsltd.com/ 🥃 Stardust Spirits — Key Lime Pie Rum Liqueur (25% ABV) 👉 https://stardustspirits.co.uk/ Ghost stories, Scottish rum, and unfiltered chat.

    Episode 22 - Did Eisenhower Sign an ALIEN Treaty? | Sea Maiden & Halls of Campbeltown Rum | Jinjer & Spiritbox

    Did President Eisenhower secretly sign a treaty with Grey Aliens in 1954? And who pays child support for Craig's telekinetic alien–Bigfoot baby "Little John"? Welcome to Episode 22 of the B.Y.O.B. Podcast! This week, Lee, Neill, and Craig review two distinct spiced rums, break down Jinjer and Spiritbox live in Glasgow, and investigate secret government deals, MJ-12, and reverse-engineered alien tech. 🥃 THE DRINKS:• First Pour: Sea Maiden Spiced Rum (Mother's Ruin 1751) — featuring a special video message from distiller Craig Rooke. Does it earn a rare TRIPLE 12/12 score?• Second Pour: Halls of Campbeltown Caribbean Spiced Rum (Beinn an Tuirc Distillery) — a botanical-forward dram that divides the desk.• The Clachan Dichter (Second-to-Last Drink): Rumaretto (The Rum Infusionist). 🤘 LIVE METAL REVIEW:Lee and Neill report back from Jinjer and Spiritbox live at the SEC Centre in Glasgow. We breakdown Jinjer’s set and debate whether Spiritbox’s live sound mix affected their performance. 🛸 CONSPIRACY CORNER:We examine the 1954 Holloman Air Force Base rumors, President Eisenhower, secret alien treaties, reverse-engineered extraterrestrial technology, and Craig's intergalactic family tree. Three hosts. Two rums. One extremely questionable family tree. 🔞 18+ | Explicit language and adult humour. Please drink responsibly. Were you at the Jinjer & Spiritbox show in Glasgow?

    EPISODE 21 - We Talked Billionaire Bunkers Over Rum & Blood Bags

    Millionaires are building doomsday bunkers. We'd fill ours with rum and podcast equipment. Lee, Neill and Craig are back for Episode 21 of B.Y.O.B — Bring Your Own Bottle — with cherry Bakewell flavours, a suspicious blood-bag refill and some highly questionable survival planning. First up is Rumaretto from The Rum Infusionist, which earns the lads' first unanimous “twelfty”. Then it's Fallen Angel Black Spiced Rum, served from a refill pouch with medical tubing inevitably involved. There's music chat about ALBORN, Craig's ghost-hunting kit and a Conspiracy Corner trip into billionaire doomsday bunkers. Would you build one? Would your guards take it off you? And can anyone sponsor us a bunker full of rum? Follow the podcast, share it with a mate and let us know your Pour Score.

    Episode 20 - We Drank Gin and Opened the Ark of the Covenant | Arbikie & 156/Silence

    Local Angus spirits. Huge riffs. One box we should probably leave alone. Lee, Neill and Craig celebrate Episode 20 with Arbikie Nàdar Gin and Tattie Bogle Vodka, tasting the gin neat and with tonic before finding out what potato vodka brings to the bar. Our band pick is 156/Silence and From A Distance — a conversation about heavy riffs, unexpected atmosphere and “angry Muse”. Then Conspiracy Corner follows Ark of the Covenant theories through Temple Mount, Knights Templar, Rosslyn Chapel and Oak Island. We've even brought our own Ark. Sensible decisions are unlikely. Clockandaughter closes the night with favourite drinks and the usual BYOB nonsense. IN THIS EPISODE 00:00 Intro 01:51 Arbikie Nàdar Gin 19:36 156/Silence — From A Distance 30:46 Arbikie Tattie Bogle Vodka 42:24 Ark of the Covenant 53:08 Clockandaughter For the box-opening sketch, watch the full video version on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BYOBPODCASTS Music from the bands we discuss: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/byob-official B.Y.O.B means Bring Your Own Bottle. Follow the show and tell us what you're drinking — and whether you'd open the Ark. Explicit language and adult comedy. Conspiracy discussion is speculation and entertainment.

    Episdode 19 - We Drank Rum and Somehow Ended Up at Brain Implants | Knocked Loose, DropWorks & Dark God

    Two bottles poured. Zero filters applied. Somehow we ended up at brain implants. This week Lee and Neill pour DropWorks Barrel Drop, dive into the beautifully brutal world of Knocked Loose, and crack open Dark God — a seriously unusual Scottish rum that splits opinion at the BYOB bar. Then Conspiracy Corner asks: is everything staged? From AI deepfakes and viral moments to outrage algorithms, doom-scrolling and the increasingly blurry line between real and manufactured online content, the conversation inevitably goes completely off the rails and ends up at human-machine interfaces and brain implants. And because BYOB never really does a last drink, Sin City Spirits Gangsta makes an appearance before closing time. Rum. Heavy music. Conspiracy. Questionable conclusions. Grab a glass and pull up a chair. This is the BYOB Podcast. 18+ | Please drink responsibly.

Plus: York cat lore, a heartfelt radio tribute to missing cat Billy, and zero-filter pub logic. Drop your wild Bigfoot theory below, tell us your favourite pour, and subscribe for more booze, bands, and badly supervised investigations! Adult humour and strong language throughout.
