Twin Terrors Macabre Manor of Mead Metal and Mayhem

Welcome back to the Manor and welcome back to another wonderful Monty Python episode.  This time it's on the 50th anniversary of their first full length movie, Monty Python and the Holy Grail!  We get into the background, how it was made and financed, things that were written but not put into the movie and then get into the movie itself up through the Book of the Film! Pour yourself a pint or a G&T (in memory of Graham) and enjoy! Next week's episode is our second episode on the 50th anniversary of Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Welcome back to the Manor!  And welcome to a different episode than originally planned!  Today (Thursday, June 5th, 2025) is the 13th anniversary of the passing of Ray Bradbury.  So tonight, we talked about Ray a bit and the things that we've done or have come out since our last Ray episodes, most of them back in 2020 for his 100th birthday year. This will be coming out just a few hours early so that we can actually get it out on his death day, rather than the usual Friday release. It involves his crime stories, an overlap with the Simpsons, his Ireland stories and plays, and more!  Enjoy! Next week's episode is the first part (of two) of our series on the 50th anniversary of Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Welcome back to the Manor!  Get ready to pour a pint of bitter or to light your pipe.  We're even okay if you play your violin while you listen, but we don't recommend doing any cocaine. Ever.  Not even a 7% solution.   Our first Sherlock Holmes episode!  Sure, we've mentioned him off the cuff a few times, but in this episode we're going all out and discussing the Hound of the Baskervilles!  Don't worry, though.  No huge spoilers.  Just very tiny minimal ones that won't ruin the ending.  But to be fair, you've had well over 100 years to have read it, so that's on you. But wait!  There's more!  We're also talking about the overlap between this and Scrooge McDuck!  Aren't you glad you're here.   So listen on and enjoy!  Next week's episode is literary firsts... well, some anyway.

Welcome back to the Manor!  Have you ever wondered why some Scottish ales and some Belgian, particularly Trappist, ales have numbers on them?  Wonder no more!  We get into the shilling system used in Scotland and the numbering system used by Trappist brewers. Pour yourself a pint of either or something else and listen on! Next week's episode is on Sherlock Holmes and Scrooge McDuck!  Kind of.

Welcome back to the Manor and welcome to another Monty Python episode!  Well, more or less.  It definitely involves Monty Python, or at least 1/6th of them, but also involves pubbing things.  So more or less what we always talk about.  Pour yourself a cask ale and enjoy this episode on the pub that started as one of, if not the first, micro-breweries!   Next week's episode is about the Scottish shilling system and the Belgian numbering system of their ales.

Welcome back to the Manor!  Welcome to our annual "best of" episode where Jody gives his top album picks and James gives his top picks of whatever he feels like (this year its pints of Guinness).  Yes, we know it's May, but we wanted to put some thought into it! Jody did anyway.  Enjoy! Next week's episode is about the Pythons Arms pub, a cross over between Monty Python and early micro-brewing.

Welcome back to the Manor and welcome back to the final episode of our Led Zeppelin Physical Graffiti's 50th anniversary episode!  We're wrapping thing up on the final bit of Led Zep's heyday.  There's more to come later this year, but for now, this will have to keep your Zep cravings in check.  Listen in and be ready for some melancholy!  A pint will help with that.

Welcome back to the Manor!  Okay, the title is a bit misleading.  But would the title "study analyzes what happens when full pints are reduced to 2/3rds pint" have piqued your interest?  I think not! But it is an overlap, to see what would happen if pint sizes were reduced.  Listen in to see what happened when a study in the UK had a dozen voluntary pubs reduce their pint sizes.  Did it reduce drinking?  If so, by how much?  Did anything else change? Listen on!  After pouring yourself either a full pint or a 2/3rds of a half or whatever you want.  It's all voluntary here at the Manor, as well! Next week's episode is the 4th of our Led Zeppelin Physical Graffiti 50th anniversary episodes, with their touring for the PG album.

Welcome back to the Manor!  Welcome to more folk horror spooky fun!  This episode goes into "Blood on Satan's Claw," mostly the movie, but also the audio dramatization and the full length novel.  We're diving into it like Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, comparing the versions, all of which are true!

Welcome back to the Manor and welcome to another 50th anniversary arc for Led Zeppelin!  Physical Graffiti came out 50 years ago in 1975, so we're covering it this year!  Part 1 starts back in 1974, however, with the creation of Zep's vanity label Swan Song, along with some miscellaneous bits such as meeting Elvis and jamming with the Rolling Stones. We know we had promised Blood on Satan's Claw in the notes from last week's episode, but don't worry!  That will be out next week, so that we can split up the Zep arc episodes like we typically do. So pour yourself a pint and enjoy some Physical Graffiti! Next week's episode is on Blood on Satan's Claw with what it has in common with HHGTTG.

Welcome back to the Manor!  So we tried something new... a virtual pub crawl!  Since we're not in the same state, we shared a screen virtually and enjoyed pints while we also enjoyed the music and scenery of pubs and taverns and beer halls from Germany, England, Scotland, Ireland, and a Fantasy Realm! We weren't sure how it would go, but we certainly had fun!  Maybe a little tipsy, too, so it's good that it was a virtual crawl and nobody had to drive.  We're going to try it again and hopefully it'll keep getting better!  But if nothing else, the craic and the conversation was fun and should be great listening!  We get into our beers and favorite foods of each country, and more! As you'll hear in the intro, edits are few.  As well as what we mentioned there, we were also hit by the flu, and since there were going to be few edits anyway, these extra few non-edits won't be noticeable.  We hope you enjoy as much as we did! So pour yourself a pint of your favorite beer from any of the countries we're "visiting" or maybe even one from each!  Enjoy! Next week's episode will be the final part of our Jimmy Page and the Occult arc, where we actually discuss Jimmy!

Welcome back to the Manor!  Jody sent a meme to James about why hot wing restaurants are always sports themed and not nerd themed.  What would it take to make a nerd wing place work?  Probably more than we've thought about here, but we talked about it any way!  Feel free to use our ideas... for recognition. Snicker snicker. Pour yourself a pint and cook yourself up a plate of wings and enjoy!

Welcome back to the Manor and welcome to part 4 of our Jimmy Page and the Occult series!  This one wasn't initially planned, but once James started working on the notes for part 3 (see episode 375), he thought it would be fun to do an additional episode on the Crowley Family Brewery.  So here is a not-quite-so-occult episode in our occult series, on Alton Ales! Pour yourself a pint (sadly not from Alton) and enjoy!

Welcome back to the Manor!  Honestly, we're not sure how many pub talk episodes we have recorded.  We didn't really intend for it to become a thing, but here we are.  (Okay, we think this is #13... not just because it sounded cool.  We looked back at our episodes and think this might be right). So anyway! In this episode, we're talking about body switches (who would we switch bodies with for a day or two if we could), favorite drinking memories, and who would we get a drink with if we could. Pour a pint and enjoy! Next week's episode is the final overview of James' trip to Ireland and Scotland (although there will still be a Halloween themed episode in October).
