We have a special bonus bonus for you all this week thanks to our pals at Tesco ,Can't Argue With That and things get hilariously heated as the boys get into their own arguments trying to settle yours.

Is bean juice ketchup? What is the definition of a hot-dog? The 'big shop' vs 'the 'quick shop' debate and is a door 'on' when it's open or closed?

It'll ALL make sense when you listen...well kinda.

Thanks again to Tesco for their support. The value provided by Tesco through their Aldi price match and Clubcard Prices? Can't argue with that.

It’s a mad bundle of questions this week, and we can't take the blame for that.

Calvin rages against Terry and toxic masculinity, and there’s the claim a famous stretch of Dublin doesn’t actually exist.

We’re worrying about ghosts in the garden and giddy at the potential for a Talking Bollox haunting.

We accept that Roy Keane wouldn’t tolerate Terence (or Calvin), while Terence alleges he was forced to buy the car, and we’re picking trends to send into oblivion.

This week’s episode sees the return of one of Terry and Calvin’s favourite guests, the inspirational Gerry Hussey.

Gerry is back to share his inspiring perspective on overcoming personal obstacles and pushing past self-doubt. From motivating himself out of depression to transforming challenges into triumphs, Gerry emphasizes the importance of choices and accountability in shaping our lives.

He also discusses his new book, focusing on how our internal narrative can drive positive change and empower us to live fully and he reveals his plans on competing for Ireland as a sprinter!

With Gerry you’re always guaranteed a captivating discussion filled with insights on mental health, resilience, and the commitment to rise above adversity and as ever he doesn’t disappoint.

One listener comes to us with a demand for an apology to Terence, and Eoin and Calvin are getting caught in the crossfire.

There’s a chance at living a Groundhog Day, and Terry finds the perfect 24 hours to re-live.

Calvin makes the case for the greatness of the octopus, but Terry has a problem with the lack of effort and commitment shown by the animals in the zoo, and he’s offering sly digs as show of his love.

Fiona Taaffe and her daughter Karinann Cosgrave joined us this week and opened up about how Fiona's struggle with drug addiction affected their family.

Fiona never realised she had a problem with drugs, but Karinann told us how she knew what was happening in their home, waking up to parties, putting her own mother to bed and finding drugs in her pockets. When Karinann was taken out of the home, Fiona was free to do as she pleased and her addiction grew. It was only when her family intervened that she realised the scale of her problem and got the help she needed.

The mother and daughter told us how they have had to work on a lot of issues together, including recovery and overcoming resentment, but they have a great relationship now and go out running together, keeping each other motivated.

If Terry and Calvin think they can pull the Leitrim wool over the listener's ears, they were proven VERY wrong this week.

Having both claimed to never having been to the fair county in last week's bonus, listeners were quick to point out these outrageous lies and a grovelling apology is duly issued.

Calvin 'Sherlock' O'Brien blows Terry's mind by guessing his middle name and as ever they tackle the tough questions like how long can you live in your car and we hear about how Terry got on in his driver theory test.

In the first half of this episode, we heard all about Sam’s upbringing in the north, joining the IRA, and his brutal treatment in the H Blocks. But that’s not the end of Sam’s story, after being released from prison he headed off to the US where he undertook one of the biggest thefts in US history - Robbing $7.4 million!

Sam told us about his decision to steal the money after seeing it laying all around the Brinks and how they had to unload millions from their van before making their escape after it was too weighed down with cash to start. He also told us about getting a priest involved, how they got caught and how they avoided life in prison.

If you listened to Part 1 of our interview with Sam Millar, you know that we first heard his story from our producer Eoin, who was working on a documentary called Unusual Suspects.

That series won Silver at the New York Festival Radio Awards and we think it's worth giving you all a chance to listen to it before the rest of the interview is out tomorrow so here it is!

**

On an icy night in January, 1993, masked gunmen walk into a Brinks vault in Rochester, New York. They leave with $7.4m in cash and a hostage. It was one of the largest heists in American history. But was this the work of criminal masterminds, or something very different? As police arrive on the scene they find some interesting clues, and an early hunch for investigators could prove critical.

We went all the way to Belfast for this episode and nearly missed our train home because we couldn't stop talking to Sam.

Sam Millar is a former member of the IRA, having joined when he was just 15 after Bloody Sunday and seeing the brutal murder of his best friend for being Catholic. Sam spent 8 years in the H Blocks on the blanket and no wash protests and he told us what it was like to live those conditions and why he didn't want to come off the protest in the end. The torture Sam endured at the hands of the prison guards was horrific and it's hard to understand why he kept fighting until you hear him explain it.

Sam's story doesn't stop there though, after his time in prison, Sam snuck into the US where he was involved in one of the biggest heists in US history, stealing nearly $8 million. We'll get into all that later this week!
