From vigorous jumping noises followed by applause, to mannequin legs in wheelie bins, there were a lot of absolutely off the wall neighbour dilemma's in this week's bonus episode with comedian Chris Kent.And it's not just the people next door that are the problem, sometimes it's within the house too. We hear from a girl whose fella has a crippling toilet paper fear, and another listener who has a housemate leaving concerning clues via the fridge magnets.Send your listener questions to [email protected]

Late yesterday afternoon we got a phonecall. Mick Foley, WWE Hall of Famer, 3 time WWF champion and one of Calvin's dream guests would be open to an interview. If we could get to the Laughter Lounge within the hour. So, we grabbed the mics and headed down. This is a surprise episode, even for us. Mick told us about his getting started in wrestling, the moves he regrets making and which of his iconic characters Mankind, Cactus Jack, or Dude Love he's the most like. The Hell in a Cell hero shared his story of being a hardcore legend with us and explained how looking back on the past is like therapy for him now. And he told Calvin he had great hair, so expect to hear that mentioned forever now.We hope you enjoy, because we certainly did.This episode was sponsored by Rightstyle Furniture - RIGHT PRICE, RIGHT STYLE, RIGHT NOW.

Roddy Collins stayed around for the bonus episode and as ever with Roddy we didn't know where his stories were going to take us. He started to answer a question about earwigs and ended up telling us about the time he saw a ghost. Calvin thinks more kids should be playing in the streets and Roddy reminisces on his own childhood spent weighing potatoes and stacking cigarettes. Roddy's great craic but be careful if you want to buy him a pint next time he's out, because he won't hold back or make any excuses if he doesn't want to talk.Send in your listener questions to [email protected]
