Episode 124 w/ Pat Shortt

After a long hiatus we return to the studio for a very special bonus episode. Terence gives an update on what has kept him away for so long and why it's cost him two teeth, so far. Calvin argues he could be a pilot with minimal time spent training, while Terence argues he got the better of Lance Armstrong going up Howth Hill. There’s also some talk of clapping at funerals and on flights, while Terence admits to breaking out in applause in taxis - and gets thrown a Texas question to welcome him back.

Our biggest ever live show! We packed out the National Stadium for our show on the 28th of June and were joined by our most requested guest ever Willa White who had us all in stitches with his stories, illusionist Keith Barry also appeared and did a few tricks with us and we even got Maverick Sabre to sing us all a few songs!

A Talking Bollox first this week, as we have an episode with just one of the lads. Illness meant Terence wasn't able to make it to Electric Picnic this year, so Calvin called on Willa White to share the stage with him. It wasn't quite the show we had all hoped for, but Willa brought some stories and jokes that lifted the roof off the place.

Calvin has a new theory about the flocks of Spanish students he's been seeing on the bus this past summer, while Terence is too busy getting recognised by bus and Luas drivers to notice - Although it unclear whether this fame is due to the podcast or his shameless disregard for buying tickets. There's also talk of spur of the moment tattoos, surprising ecosystems and survival on coffee alone.

Ali Ryan joined us to talk to us about her huge success as a showbiz journalist, founding Goss.ie at just 23 and her struggles and determination to keep it afloat in the early years. She also opened up about the sex tape filmed without her consent, the blackmail and rumours around it, and the impact it had on her life.
