Grab a cold one and settle in. This week on Tall Boy Radio, Beans sits down with a man who has looked into the eyes of some of the most dangerous individuals in American history. We are joined by Retired FBI Special Agent Raymond J. Carr for an masterclass in criminal profiling, persistence, and the reality of the "long game."

With a career spanning three decades, Ray takes us inside the high-stakes world of the Bureau, from the grisly task of tracking a serial killer to the meticulous decades-long hunt for a criminal mastermind.

The Genesee River Killer: Ray discusses the investigation into Arthur Shawcross, the "Monster of the Genesee." We dive into the psychological toll of tracking a serial killer and the breakthrough moments that finally brought a predator to justice.
The Friday Night Bank Robber: For 30 years, Carl Gugasian was a ghost. Ray recounts the incredible story of the most prolific bank robber in U.S. history—a man who committed over 50 robberies with military precision.
30 Years on the Run: We go deep into Ray’s book, 30 Years on the Run: The Hunt for the Most Prolific Bank Robber in History. Ray explains how Gugasian managed to evade the law for so long and the evidenc and profiling that finally cracked the case wide open.
Life in the Bureau: Beyond the headlines, Ray shares what it’s actually like to live the life of a Special Agent. It’s not always like the movies, but as you’ll hear, sometimes the reality is even more intense.
