Talking Bollox Podcast

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 ho...

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...

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.

Sabin...

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 “...

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 import...

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 supp...

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 t...

This week’s episode sees the return of one of Terry and Calvin’s favourite guests, the inspirational Gerry Hussey.

Gerry is back to share his inspiring perspective on overcoming personal obstacles and pushing past self-doubt. From motivating himself out of depression to transforming challenges into triumphs, Gerry emphasizes the importance of choices and accountability in shaping our lives.

He also discusses his new book, focusing on...

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.

Send all of your quest...

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 an...

In this special bonus episode of Talking Bollox, Terry and Calvin are coming to you live from TU Dublin – proudly sponsored by the National Tertiary Office.

They’re diving into the transformative Tertiary Bachelor’s Degree Programme, a game-changing initiative that’s making higher education accessible and affordable for all. You don’t need points and you won’t pay college fees for the first one to two years while you study locally a...

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 y...

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 t...

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 Brin...

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...

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 f...

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...

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 w...

We have a special bonus episode for you this week, with a lot of it recorded from the stage in Vicar Street as we prepared to begin our live show on Sunday.

There's a lot of chaos around us as we try to answer a few listener questions, from superstitions to trademarked catchphrases and an unfortunate fall.

We then bring some unreleased classics from the archives, including the options of supreme intelligence or global respect.
