Episode 240 w/ Andrew Ryan

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. Send all of your questions and comments (and guest suggestions) to [email protected]

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/ This episode was sponsored by Rightstyle Furniture - RIGHT PRICE, RIGHT STYLE, RIGHT NOW.

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 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.
