Bonus: Terry's Best Bits

Comedian and host of Spin's Fully Charged, Fiona Frawley joined us as this week's guest. Fresh of the back of her own wedding, Fiona came in with lots of learnings for anyone planning a wedding, although it will be another while before Calvin takes any wedding tips if his reaction to her questions about him getting engaged is anything to go by.And weddings aren't the only romantic topic discussed on the episode, there's a dilemma about terrible Christmas presents, a painful breakup, and kissing at the cinema. Fiona also caught Calvin up to date on the latest celeb drama and took him back to a war from a hundred years ago.

As we kick off the New Year, we couldn't help but look back at the year passed and how we went from being on stage at the Bord Gais to being a man down. We know you all miss Terence as much as we do so, we've pieced together this bonus episode with some of our best laughs with him, from collecting caterpillars and losing control of quizzes, to suspicious plots. Hope you enjoy!We'll be back as normal on Thursday.If you haven't seen it already, you can watch back our Talking Bollox in the Country series here: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8vkxyvpYjGNRLvr0gY-iidOwPA3bvGxV&si=1xNH1a1OU6OUTYkB

This is a bumper Christmas episode of Talking Bollox! There's everything from a quiz (chaotic as ever), to in person listener questions from the GOAT McGinty and we even have Terence back, briefly. There's also some audio previously kept back for TBX members of a "car crash" from when we shot our Talking Bollox in the Country series. As a Christmas present, we decided to release that series for everyone to see and you can watch it on the GoLoud YouTube channel here: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8vkxyvpYjGNRLvr0gY-iidOwPA3bvGxV&si=1xNH1a1OU6OUTYkBLet us know what you think in the comments, or in an email to [email protected] This episode was sponsored by Rightstyle Furniture - RIGHT PRICE, RIGHT STYLE, RIGHT NOW.

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]

The hilarious Al Foran joined us this week and somehow, even though it's only a few weeks to Christmas we ended up talking about Halloween. Calvin reveals the backstory to the prank on Terence at the Ploughing and Al explains why he'd never partake in a celebrity boxing fight despite understanding the appeal.There were also chats about bad bus journeys, miniature genies, finding cash and more.Send us your questions to [email protected] This episode was sponsored by Rightstyle Furniture - RIGHT PRICE, RIGHT STYLE, RIGHT NOW.

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.

Mary-Claire Fitzpatrick aka mcluvs2laugh joined Calvin this week and I think it's safe to say she's the biggest culchie ever on Talking Bollox. Between cockerel impressions and Winning Streak stories, there's also a quiz on the rural way of life and in typical TB fashion it descended immediately into chaos! MC told us about her role as the narrator in our new Talking Bollox in The Country series which is available now for TBX members.
