The listeners come for Calvin and his rules of the road, and we’re left with very few co-hosts who could pass a theory test.

The risk of an unexpected dig is on offer for a cash reward, and a fate worse than Lucan awaits Calvin - while Terry's life on Manor Street takes on the feel of a sitcom.

We have some sphere puns that inadvertently outrage Calvin, and strange beasts hidden in a shed.

There’s a new topic ban up for consideration and Terry is already sick of questions about his new car.

Dara Ó Briain is one of Ireland's most successful comedians.

Things get off to a rocky start as Terence arrives late, and Dara makes him pay for it. Once we have that out of the way Dara shares his journey from science to stand-up, revealing how he stumbled into comedy and how he knew instantly he was hooked.

We delve into the nuances of heckling and the experiences that shape a comedian's approach to audience interaction.

Plus, Dara opens up about his incredible adoption story, his quest to find his birth family and the insight it gives into a dark and shocking chapter in irish history.

We obliterate our own ban on animal content this week, as Terence questions the point of science and at the same time claims he can see heat. We ask AI for its opinion on Talking Bollox and we find ChatGPT coming for the producers of the podcast.

Terence has a big problem with the naming of the Las Vegas Sphere, and the Pyramids, but he’s blown away by the Square in Tallaght.

And a listener’s plea for advice backfires spectacularly and leads to a heated debate about what counts as being waterproof.

Mick Moran is a former Garda who works tirelessly to protect children from sexual abuse, both with the Guards, and Interpol and now as CEO of Hotline.ie. Mick explained where this child sexual abuse material is coming from and why he cares more about finding the child than the abuser.

There’s a serious debate about the potential to rehabilitate a sexual offender and Mick gives his take on seemingly ‘lenient’ sentences for those caught with this content. He also tells us why deleting child abuse images is the worst thing you can do if you come across them, and explained what you should do instead.

It’s a heavy topic, but we’ve never shied away from those before and it’s important to discuss this issue so we can all protect kids better and know what needs to be done to make the world a safer place.

In a sign of booming times, Terence has made a major purchase without working out every single angle – or any angles.

There's concerns about being kidnappable, we learn C is for Savage, Calvin rages against a recent trend among young men in Dublin, and we get a heartfelt and touching message from a listener overseas.

Comedian Justine Stafford came into us this week and quickly derailed the entire episode with talk of Banshee Bones, Joe Dolan and incels.

She told us about her journey into comedy and attending two college courses at once, which makes sense when you consider how many points she got in her leaving cert. Her time at college did her no harm and gave her some much needed real life experience to avoid mishaps with tampons, bus drivers and ATMs.

Phil Mitchell gets a lot of love in this episode and we're still not sure why, you'll just have to listen to find out.

Calvin shows great mercy towards his subjects when granted god-like powers, and it inadvertently puts Terry in another surprisingly awkward spot.

We hear about fake careers invented to impress a stranger and We get a surprisingly easy choice between a subbed toe and life on loudspeaker,

Terence reveals the most cutting insult that could have been thrown at someone as a child, and Calvin gives a breakdown of the necessary criteria for picking the right kind of area to live in.

Psychotherapist Richard Hogan joined us this week for a chat about growing up in a dysfunctional household and how the stories we tell children about themselves shape who they become.

He also explained how his own negative childhood experience with psychotherapy led him to where he is now and why he has a problem with over-diagnosis of anti-depressants for children.

There are a lot of challenges to parents today, especially around technology and pornography, that Richard offers guidance on and he explains why young kids need to be protected more online.

We play number games with little success, and Terry almost slips up in the caterpillar cover up.

We hear vigorous arguments about the geographic locations of tracksuit hotspots, funeral traditions outside Dublin, and the spiritual home of eggs.

And the attic stories are back with a vengeance as one listener terrifies us with tales from the third floor. Calvin thinks a helpful ghost may not be the worst, but he’s still thinking of calling a priest for backup.

Shane Todd, podcaster and comedian joined us for a chat about everything from nights out with Theo Von to how he could take a bear in a fight (if it’s ill). And if his stories from the soccer pitch are anything to go by – Shane takes no survivors.

With dreams of one day hosting Saturday Night Live, Shane has expanded his career to include acting, taking on impressive roles like the main part in a zombie film that uses kung fu to tackle division in the North.

And he confuses everyone with an invitation to Nandos – But only if you go as far as Dun Laoghaire.
