  • Episode 245 w/ Mick Foley
    Dec 4 2025

    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.

  • Episode 244 w/ Mary-Claire Fitzpatrick
    Nov 27 2025

    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. If you want to check it out head over to TBX now - www.goloudplayer.com/thegaff

  • Bonus: The Plough and The Flop Stars
    Nov 25 2025

    Enya Martin and Ger Jordan joined Calvin for this bonus episode and a listeners question has them planning Dublin's answer to the Ploughing Championships complete with spicebags, scramblers and e-scooters.

    Calvin asks if anyone would even want to win an Oscar unless it's for Best Actor and they wonder whether buying the same shoes again and again should be allowed. And they all share some of the biggest lies they regret telling.

  • Episode 243 w/ Enya Martin and Ger Jordan
    Nov 20 2025

    Enya Martin and Ger Jordan joined Calvin this week and since the episode was recorded the day after that amazing Irish win against Portugal, it starts off with some serious slagging of Ronaldo and dreaming about tournaments.

    Calvin tells us what his idyllic airport experience would be and a listener considering dumping her fella over chicken wings has everyone up in arms.

    And of course, we couldn't have Ger in and not have him do a prank call...

  • Bonus: Earwigs and Excuses
    Nov 18 2025

    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.

  • Episode 242 w/ Roddy Collins
    Nov 13 2025

    How we could have guest co-hosts in and not include Roddy Collins?

    He kicks off in his usual fashion taking us on tangents on everything from old westerns, to landing planes and birthdays. He laments the loss of the scissors and comb in the barber shop and tells us how he got kicked out of a building site for talking too much [We're not surprised]

    We put Roddy's managerial expertise to the test with variety of scenarios on everything from deli ham displays to go-karting feuds.

  • Bonus: A Gaff Full of Seagulls
    Nov 11 2025

    Joe McGucken and Ian Molloy joined Calvin for this bonus episode and they came in with plenty to say including tales of psychics, ghostly farts and forgotten wedding cards.

    Calvin insists that any amount of seagulls in the gaff is suspicious and unacceptable, while Joe and Ian discuss the pros and cons of method acting and traveling back in time.
