It’s a week of friction and foolishness, as everything from the content of the bonus episodes, to the ranking of our top questioners, causes heated debate.
A heartfelt query about the chance to measure moments of love in life ends up with a foolhardy attempt to gauge how many stairs it would take to reach the moon.
A question about suspicious owls in Ireland almost sparks a war.
Terence returns from yet another holiday and he’s got a mixed review of Tenerife for us, ranging from mixing with giants of the ocean to being too smart to accept an offer of a lift on a submarine.
We attempt to break down a very select invite list for time on a desert island, with potential knock on problems for everyone involved.
And Terry makes some big and very controversial statements about the ranking of our favourite question askers.

All Ireland winner and Gambling Awareness Trust spokesperson Oisín McConville joined us this week.
Growing up in Crossmaglen during The Troubles meant Oisín was used to bombs and army presence – His only escape was football and he threw himself into the sport with great success at both county and club level.
When he was just 14 Oisín placed his first bet for 50p. By 17, he was being warned by his local bookie that he would develop a problem if he didn’t stop betting. Oisín didn’t take the advice and gambled for years more, borrowing, stealing and scamming to pay his way, until he realised he needed help after losing a £20,000 loan for a new business in one bet.
A new show “The 3:30 at Cheltenham” which explores the issues of gambling addiction opens on the 16th of September in the Civic Theatre Tallaght before going on a national tour of all gambling addiction treatment centres in Ireland throughout October. Tickets are available here: https://www.civictheatre.ie/whats-on/the-330-at-cheltenham/

The lads consider who would be their final boss if their lives were a computer game.
The extended Power family get in touch to distance themselves from Terence’s never ending devotion to one particularly divisive film.
There are stories of odd characters with shady pasts, and a triggered house alarm causing paranoia.
Terry escapes the 27 club and wonders who could replace him in the event of his untimely demise; convinced as he is that Calvin wouldn’t pass up the payday of bravely carrying on without his co-host.
There’s some questions about potential sponsor deals off the back of Terence’s newly controversial height measurement, and a question about t-shirts has Calvin wondering why he’s spending his time explaining dimensions to Terence.

Damien Hernon is the director of Oberstown Children's Detention Campus.
He joined us to discuss what a day in Oberstown looks like for the children and for the staff. From education to victim empathy, Damien describes the programmes available, their hands on approach and the challenges of working in the centre.
We discuss the progressive mindset the staff take, the negative portrayal of Oberstown in the media as well as some of the success stories of the past occupants. -
We fend off a borderline juice fit as Terry rages against accusations he's been doping his height, and a question about picking a Hollywood celebrity sidekick almost costs us a studio (and a lawsuit).
Terry is fuming to learn that nuking the moon was once considered, and left reeling by the high stakes strategies of the nuclear powers.
A listener question sends us down the road of learning about some very clever tricks to fool some very bad spies, and we have a very disappointing trawl through Calvin’s phone book.

Irish Mauy Thai fighter Craig Coakley joined us this week to explain how being a 'soft child' led him to become the world class scrapper he is today.
Craig could have gone down the wrong road like so many from the flats, but once he had his daughter he knew he had to take fighting more seriously and give it all his focus.
He told us why he thinks Mauy Thai will be the next big combat sport and why it's so important to be able to release aggression in a healthy way.
One of Craig influence's growing up was Ryan 'Chaos' Curtis another Irish pro fighter who was badly injured and is fundraising for his recovery. If you can, please donate to Ryan at the following link: https://gofund.me/bcda5314

While walking to our first ever live show in Liberty hall in March 2022, we bumped into a young lad who was on the way to our gig. That was Ben Williams. We didn’t really know him then, but now everybody knows Ben. In just a couple of years he’s built an audience of over 1 million followers on social media and has branched out to everything from music, boxing, fashion and vodka.
Ben told us why he thinks professional boxers are salty over YouTube boxing fights, feeling the pressure going into a fight and how visualisation helped him take home a win.
He talked all about blowing up as a DJ with New Era, as well as times his sets went wrong.

Undercover pigeons, AI birds and unfathomably large sea creatures are all boggling Terence’s mind this week.
Calvin has a problem with GAA jerseys on holidays, but none with people eating baked beans and marshmallows together.

After a weekend in a time warp at UFC 304 in Manchester, the lads are feeling a little delicate, but satisfied, and they return home to a big shout out coming their way from the Olympics.
Another listener has come for Terry and his dog, and it’s thrown Terence completely off course.
We hear about a world record setting restaurant in Dublin, and weigh up the chances of getting through life causing minimal negative thoughts in others.
And Terence is deeply uncomfortable with the plot of one particular Disney animated classic, and the idea of a talking sofa.

From cage warriors to the UFC, Ian Machado Garry has dominated in MMA since his first professional fight in 2019. He speaks to us about choosing to drop out of college to devote everything to training and how he feels about comparisons to Conor McGregor.
Ian is 8-0 in the UFC at the moment, but he’s still not happy and he explained why he’s lost sleep over his last fight even though it was a win. He also told us why he wants to take on Shavkat Rakhmonov next and how he wants to prove his talents and won’t be taking any easy fights.
His drive and self-confidence are infectious and hearing him talk it’s clear there’s nothing he won’t achieve as he lives up to his nickname “The Future”. -
What's the worst lie you've ever been caught out in? Terence has made a number of outlandish claims on this very podcast and yet his answer is new to us all.
Both Calvin and Terence are curious about the implications of traveling through time and whether a potential time machine would allow them the privilege of attending their own live shows.
And they wonder how long it would take to climb down one of Dublin's most well known landmarks - Although the fear of heights they possess might delay them.

When his song 'Take My Hand' went viral and the band shot to fame almost overnight Ryan's life changed, and although he sometimes struggles with self confidence, he believes he is where he's meant to be. Ryan's hometown of Athy and the council estate he grew up in might have a bad name, but he told us about the kindness and generosity of the people there that makes him proud.Big into his fashion, Ryan even offered to help Terence with his wardrobe.
And he reveals there’s a family connection to a previous guest... -
Terence and Calvin are left dazzled by the miracle of competitive walking, as they realise just how fast its possible to go with one foot on the ground.
Calvin considers trying for Olympic gold in the bunking event, and Terry ponders if he could accept that a very public backflip into the Liffey might be the lesser of two evils.
One listener gives us a range of choices for different types of glory, and John Cena’s musical achievements come in for harsh scrutiny.
And we are left with no choice but to weigh up, literally, the chances of carrying a flock of calm crows.

Comedian John Colleary, perhaps best known for playing a guard in Hardy Bucks, joined us this week for an episode full of laughs - Including one of the best stories about interacting with a Garda that we've ever heard on the podcast.
He told us all about getting started in comedy and why so many comedians are actually quite shy and socially awkward until they step on stage.
John worked with David McSavageon on The Savage Eye and he reminisced on making the show and he told us why you wouldn’t get away with it today.

There’s a significant, and long awaited, moment on the bonus episode this week, as Terence arrives in the studio with some major news.
Warning: There is a film mentioned here and after that point it's full of spoilers. (And Calvin has no sympathy for anyone caught off guard by this one.)
Calvin is understandably very impressed with moonwalking horses, and the lads consider their easiest route to an Olympic gold medal - with Terence wondering if a bit of training could have him challenge for the title of the fastest man on Earth.
-

The consequences of half a haircut or a life with just one shoe are weighed up, while Terence has been doing some very refined snacking in local coffee shops.
A listener’s question sends us on a journey through the disturbing world of people living in your attic (a recently unlocked fear for Calvin), and the now long-standing tradition of listeners threating Terence has spread to even the most professional arenas.
Terence threatens to take a juice fit as Calvin doubts his tales of clean living at the gym, and there are doubts raised about how natural Terry’s workout photography has been.
