Just weeks after his debut for the Irish senior squad, Killian Phillips joined us in studio. He told us what it means for him to play for his country and how he always told his late granddad that he would represent Ireland one day.
Killian's road to professional football wasn't always straightforward and he took us through his career from Sunday league to playing against clubs like Liverpool and Manchester United. He also told us how he went from sitting on the bench in the Premier League to being searched on the bonnet of a Garda squad car within 24 hours.
And Killian revealed a big secret and put an end to a mystery that has haunted Terence for years!

We get unverified news that dogs are evolving in an environmentally conscious way, and seagulls are eating fancy ice creams.
We hear about some very strange, and shameful, food eating habits this week.
Calvin wants to know what the hierarchy is on the bus, between man, woman, child and pet.
He also makes a few dog jokes, and dad jokes, that cross the line.
We’re very aware we’ve been conned into breaking our own ban on animal talk, and we can’t hold ourselves back from somehow talking about a bee in a neck brace taking a claim against Terry for assault by tea towel.

In this week's episode , Sabina Brennan returns to discuss the fascinating connection between neuroscience and manifesting as well as her new book, "The Neuroscience of Manifesting: The Magical Science of Getting the Life You Want" which explores how our thoughts can shape our reality.
They all join forces to take on the myths surrounding the law of attraction and reveal why it's about taking action, not just wishful thinking.
Sabina also shares insights on self-compassion and discovering your true self, plus stories of her journey from acting to psychology.
As ever with Sabina it's a very interesting and enlightening chat that might just change the way you think about achieving your dreams.
...just don't mention the 'law of attraction'!

Sometimes it can be hard to describe what an episode of Talking More Bollox is like. This one of those weeks.
We go from Leitrim’s first traffic late (surprisingly late), to Calvin’s fear of the ruthless elderly women down the local, and on to confusion and hostility over the definition of a second cousin.
We take up the challenge of creating carnage in the Ilac, ponder Terry’s ongoing Argos mystery, try to explain why there was no “first” human being, teleport through time, and doubt the existence of dinosaurs (not all of us).
And to wrap it all up, we work on a proposal for a potentially malicious and certainly hilarious body swap between Terence and Eoin.

We've spoken so much on this podcast about our experiences with the Guards, but it's hard to know who to go to if you want to have your voice heard by someone who can make actual change.
The Policing and Community Safety Authority sit down with the Commissioner and with senior gardaí on a regular basis to discuss how policing resources are being used and their CEO Helen Hall joined us this week.
Helen spoke about why it's so important that the there is oversight watching what the Guards are doing, and what the difference is between a police force and a police service.
If you want to take part in the survey Helen mentioned and have your voice heard, here's the link: https://pcsa.prioritysimulator.com/

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.

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!

We've made a trip outside Dublin to record a podcast for the first time ever and it's gone very well. So well we weren't back in time to send it to you at the usual time.
BUT fear not!
To make up for it we bring you next week's bonus episode early so sit back and enjoy Calvin's game changing revelation about traffic lights.
We hear their Spice Girl names and if you're listening in Leitrim, you might want to take a comfortable seat for the fact they are about to drop.

Things get competitive as Terence announces he will never, and could never, lose a spelling bee – and is quickly forced into backing up his big talk. We end up in a sudden death spelling scenario, with deceptions, threats and ice cream.
Calvin has been waving at gardai – or maybe it was the other way around – but either way Terry isn’t letting him away with it.
Terry wears out his battery while out on the road with the rest of the TB team, as the excitement of a big day out proves too much for him to handle.
And we ask if life would be better lived permanently stinking, or permanently revolted by the odour of the world.

Comedian and self proclaimed 'culchie' Tom O'Mahoney joined us this week for a few laughs. We got distracted right off the bat by Tom's moustache and Terence's concern that his wet jacket was a result of a leak rather than the rain he'd been outside in.
Tom told us about his experience in the world of posh Dub's, having both famously played one on hit show Damo and Ivor and marring a woman from Dalkey.
Tom's comedy journey started with a burst blood vessel and has led him to opening for the 2 Johnnies, Tom Green and shows of his own. And he told us about the funniest moments he's had on stage, and why people shouldn't get offended at comedy.
