There's been a lot of talk about punctuality lately on the podcast. But this week it went to the extreme.

After waiting in studio for over an hour for Terence to arrive, Calvin had only begun recording an apology when a phone call came through. Terence had awoken from his nap.

Down the phone, he does his best to convince the lads to record another day. There's talk of money exchanging hands, but what they really want is a punishment suggested by the listeners so send them in to TalkingBollox@GoLoudNow.com

Aaron Rowe has been blowing up lately, with hit songs like Hey Ma, sold out gigs and crowds that blow the roof off. He joined us this week after an incredible show in the Academy.

He told us about his journey from being afraid to tell his friends he played guitar to standing on stage in front of thousands of people opening for Ed Sheeran and Sam Fender.

Aaron got his big break when he was playing in a pub on Camden St and Lewis Capaldi walked in. He explained how life has changed since that moment, what's next for him and why so many of the songs he writes don't get heard.

And there's was some serious chaos in studio when he arrived in!

Quite the trip this week (in every sense) as the boys respond to last week's callout to listeners in far flung corners of the globe and it's fair to say their voices are lighting up some random spots.

A very disturbing story from a listener involving a dog, a used condom and a father in law inspires Terry to ring his brother to get him to tell an absolute cracker involving a near death experience of a childhood friend.

World champ Pierce O’Leary is back with Terence and Calvin – and this time he’s actually walking in with the belt.

He chats about the ups and downs nobody sees: boxing politics, learning the business, nearly packing it in 14 months ago, and the mad graft it took to turn “I’m gonna be world champion” into reality.

Pierce tells the full Rocky-style story of moving to England with a backpack and a grand, living above a pub, and the night he nearly had to defend himself with a kitchen knife.

Plus: the sold-out 3Arena homecoming, what’s next, and what a proper brutal camp looks like.

Calvin starts a rumour and Terence makes outlandish claims of his geography knowledge that are immediately disproven. There's new films added to the 'To Watch' list, not to mention viral videos.

The two lads offer advice to a listener who moves into a new gaff with a mate and immediately has to deal with him “christening” the place with random dates. And they wonder whether Justin Bieber was getting paid too much for his set at Coachella?

Legend of the Irish comedy scene Deirdre O'Kane joined us this week - She talked about learning that comedy was a script, not just improvised on stage and how she began writing jokes immediately after that realisation. One of the first women on the scene, Deirdre was doing well, but nearly quit after a particularly bad show - Until a sign from the universe in the form of the iconic Billy Connolly.

She told us how the world of stand up has evolved, what her dream role is and why comedy classics like Intermission are not as easy to make as you might think.

We also learned more about Terry in this episode - Namely, that he's never seen Intermission and that he doesn't know who Billy Connolly is.

An innocent listener question asking Terence to imagine his tour of Dublin's best sites brings up some a bad memory of causing a mass evacuation in Sean MacDermott street baths.

The lads praise the taxi drivers who found new ways around the city when the tractors took over, and give an update on the car that’s been bought, paid for, but still never driven.

And it doesn't take long for the accusations to start flying and hostilities to build as the real grafters reveal themselves.

Cillian Flaherty was a fit and healthy 15 year old boy. He was looking forward to his upcoming TV appearance on Ireland's Fittest Families. Then one night in 2024, he went to bed and never woke up.

His dad Paul Flaherty joined us to talk about the shock of finding his son dead, how fitness helped his family through grief, and why it's so important to get your heart tested regularly.

Follow Paul on Instagram @paul23flaherty to keep up to date with the run in Cillian's memory coming up soon.
