Talking Bollox Podcast

Even though his parking was almost up, comedian Andrew Ryan stuck around for this bonus episode. His car was clearly on his mind though as he raged against bad drivers and Land Rovers bought on finance.

Despite never having seen a full James Bond film, Calvin thinks it would be more fun to be the villain than to be 007.

And move over Saipan, there's a new debate about Roy Keane taking over as we ask who would win in a fight between him and Rory McIlroy?

We kick this episode off with an update on Terence's health, after he convinced himself, through listening to a previous episode, that he will have to play the ukulele during his surgery. Honestly, we're not surprised by it at all.

Our guest co-host comedian Andrew Ryan tells us his own experience with surgery, how grief is a gateway to getting a tattoo and how he ended up in Belfast. He tells Calvin about how much he's enjoyed his first month of marriage and almost has Calvin convinced to get engaged... Almost.

The jellies are whispering to Willa and he’s speculating on major behind the scenes disputes that have changed the landscape of Irish crisps.

One listener is missing Terry (like the rest of us) and wants to know how we can wind him up with a carefully crafted lie when he gets back.

Willa was scammed buying some runners and he’s not happy with it.

And  we get an insight into how stolen art masterpieces end up in man caves in Belgium for bragging rights. How factual it is, well you can decide.

This week Calvin is joined/invaded by the dastardly due of Willa White and Darren Conway and needless to say madness ensues.

Willa gives us an insight into his run ins with Roches Stores back in the day during his previous incarnation as, how shall we say, purveyor of items .

They all take a trip down memory lane to Mosney and the 'mooning' pool in the pub and we hear about some of the school tours they took including a trip on a 747 plane!

Calvin recounts his bunking into Oasis exploits and everyone is in agreement that the Scots are ALWAYS up for a bit of skullduggery.

On the first of our new era of bonus episodes we have Shane Todd continuing his stint in the chair, and he’s taking your questions.

We’re taking your questions on what opinions we’ve changed over the years (a surprisingly controversial one, it turns out); how long any of us could go missing before anyone noticed, and what food and drink pairing best represents us.

Shane has some wise advice for Calvin on how to handle the ongoing issue of jeans in gyms, and also has some insight into Ronan Keating’s underwhelming haircut history.

And Shane pushes for another post-recording dinner, but this time his luck might be in.

We’ll keep taking your questions every week, with our guest co-hosts, so keep sending them in to us at [email protected]

No one can replace Terence while he's on hiatus, but the podcast must go on. So, we asked friend of the pod Shane Todd to spin down for a bonus episode, although we probably only got to ask about one question.

Shane takes us on tangents about celebrity football matches, the definition of the word 'ambiguous' and the differences between deli's North and South of the Border.

Tickets for Shane's tour are available now on his website here: www.shanetoddcomedy.com/

You’ve probably noticed our absence for the last week. Thank you all for your patience while we got back to you.

Terence has a message for you that can explain where we’ve been and let you know about a break he’s taking because of some upcoming surgery, which is going to mean he’ll have to skip the studio for a bit.

It’s best to let Terry explain it in his own words, so please take a listen. We’ll be back next week – still Talking Bollox, but missing our mate. We will be keeping the show on the road and we’ll share those plans with you on our next episode, which will be with you very soon.

Thank you for all of your support – for every message, listen, live show and everything else over the last few years. You’re all legends.

Miriam Hussey worked as a qualified pharmacist for 10 years, but she always had a passion for holistic health and wellness. She spoke to us about the importance of your mind and your soul in healing your body and how our lifestyle impacts our health.

She explained why it's good to cry sometimes and what you can do in your day to help you on the right path.

Miriam is a leading health and wellness figure in Ireland and a founder of Soul Space with her husband Gerry, but she's had to step back and turn down huge opportunities in order to focus on her own priorities and her family. She spoke to us about that decision and how even now she's still not sure what's next for her.

She's incredibly inspiring and we think you'll take a lot from this interview.

Miriam's book Light Up is available now.

The lads switch things up and convince Eoin to unleash messages from the TBX phone with predictably wild results.

We hear from a listener who has a whale phobia and we discover sharks are coming for Ireland. Great!

Thinking of getting those 'Turkey teeth', well Terry has some reassuring advice.

One messager mispronounces himself into a mortifying situation in Poland and they absolutely catch one of the builders in Marconi House out rapid in the middle of the recording.

Calvin hits back at the doubters over the roundabouts in town debate and we get drawn back into the great debate on what is and isn’t town. And we can’t get any solid answers, so we need your help.

Terry feels the podcast has been taken over by the listeners outside Dublin and he needs the Dubs to step up.

We explore the potentially terrifying world where Terence and Calvin are school teachers, and able to impose their personal brand of education on the pupils.

The terror of tapping a card extends beyond Terry’s fear in the Centra, as one listener ends up causing a pedestrian pile up due to a malfunctioning card.
