Betrayal. Disgrace. Absolute heartbreak. That's how the episode starts and it only goes downhill from there as the Meta Glasses capture some truly poor reading comprehension and questionable pronunciation. Apologies in advance to anyone listening in from Brisbane.
Plans are made and quickly abandoned for a run, dip and sauna and despite the listeners diagnosing Terence he refuses to accept that he might need glasses.

Last Saturday we had probably the biggest guest we've ever had on the podcast - Katie Taylor. And we didn't just record an episode with her, we spent the full day together on her tour bus as she traveled around the country.
We debrief the full day and give you every detail from the numbers of wheels on the bus to the disasters with the Meta glasses. There's also drama from JD the night before and a review of the most shocking part of all - Terence's driving.
As ever, get in touch and let us know what you thought of Katie's episode by emailing [email protected]

It's hard to understand how much this episode means to us - Katie Taylor is a hero of Irish sport and a dream guest for a long time.
This weekend, we joined her as she drove around the country promoting her final ever fight in Ireland's most iconic arena, Croke Park. Katie told us what it means to follow in Muhammad Ali's footsteps fighting in Croke Park and how she knew this was the right time to retire.
She got emotional talking about the Olympics and the fight to get women's boxing recognised as a sport, and opened up about achieving a childhood dream to representing her country - Not to mention winning gold.
Katie didn't stop at gold though - She's put on incredible battles as a professional boxer and is an inspiration to so many young girls in Ireland. As we travelled around we saw first hand how much that legacy means to Katie and how she hopes to inspire the next generation of sports stars.
Tickets to see Katie fight in Croke Park will be on sale from Friday June 12, on Ticketmaster.

When he decided to walk away from boxing Aidan Walsh was a two time Olympian with a medal around his neck and plenty of potential ahead of him. But, the pressure had all gotten too much and he couldn't cope anymore. So, at just 28, he retired.
Aidan told us all about reaching his breaking point, realising he hadn't been happy for a long time and explained why he has no regrets about retiring early.
He also told us what it's really like at the Olympics, how he managed to break both his ankles celebrating his win, and why his proudest moment in life has nothing to do with boxing.

Terence learns a lesson about taking risks but somehow it doesn't affect his decision making when offered the chance to win a million. Calvin has learned lots too and has started to believe in the red string theory with not one but two mad coincidences to back it up.
There are tales of recent scary trips to Calvin's attic and Terence gets a self inflicted injury mid podcast.
Not to mention the return of the "rawrrr"...

From sitting across the table from two of England's most notorious serial killers, Myra Hindley and Ian Brady, to heading up the investigation to locate the bodies of the 17 people disappeared during the Troubles in the North, Geoff Knupfer has had a fascinating career.
He sat down with us and took us back to his investigation of the Moor Murders and how a chance question led them to recovering the body of one of the five children killed by Hindley and Brady.
Geoff headed up the Independent Commission for the Location of Victims' Remains in the North, a body tasked with gathering confidential information and using it, not for a criminal case, but to find the bodies of The Disappeared and bring them home to allow the families to get closure. He told us about how it felt to discover the first body and how important the immunity offered by the commission is.
f you have any information about the location of the remains of The Disappeared, however small, please contact the Independent Commission for the Location of Victims' Remains by leaving a confidential voice message on +353 1 602 8655 or emailing [email protected]

Legend of the Irish music scene Damien Dempsey joined us for a sing song this week. In between songs, we talked about the resurgence in Gaelic culture among young Irish people and how important the old ballads have been to him since he was a young child.
He told us how music kept him connected to his father after his passing and opened up his spirituality, and his visions of flying over Connemara on an eagles back…
We learned how he ended up performing at a prison in The Phillipines, he told us about a music session so good it made Bruce Springsteen miss a flight, and explained why in spite of his cult following Damo doesn’t consider himself famous, or even want fame.

Wayne Waldron signed up to his first ever marathon on a whim a few years ago. He finished the race in under three hours. A time that many runners couldn’t achieve with months of training behind them, never mind with one weeks notice like Wayne had. And he did it all in a pair of Nike Air Max.
Since that first race, Wayne has gone on to become one of the country’s best Ultramarathon runners, getting a sub 3 hours 50 km with just seconds to spare. He talked about how he doesn’t always agree with Strava and posting every run and explained why you should be able to sing while you’re running and how important it is to follow a running plan.
And look, if he can coach Terence back to running after literal brain surgery, we know his advice is worth listening to.

True crime series Lines Of Enquiry launched in November and has very quickly taken off. This week we spoke to the host, John Sweetman a former Garda who specialised in fingerprints and handwriting analysis.
John told us about the scenes that always stuck with him, developing a thick skin and some of the heavy cases he worked on including Jastine Valdez, the murders of the Hawe family and the Midlands Letters case that stopped a predator before he could act out his sick fantasies.
John isn't your typical copper and his background was actually in animating a childhood classic the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

When Bob Cullen woke up in a Garda cell with no memory of how he got there, he began looking back at his life to understand what led him to that moment. A childhood scarred by bullying. Drug taking at age 12. Insecurities masked by lashing out violently.
Bob was sentenced to 7 and a half years for robbery and he used his time in prison to tackle his addiction and educate himself on criminology and psychology. Now, he advocates for a complete overhaul of the prison system in favour of something that actually serves justice for all victims.
This episode contains discussion of suicide and suicidal ideation, if you can relate to Bob's story please speak to your GP or call Samaritans any time on 116 123.

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 [email protected]

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.
