Episode 178 w/ Tony O'Neill
Now that Terry's taken up the gym, we thought it would be the ideal time to get performance nutritionist Tony O'Neill on to talk us through some fitness and wellbeing dos and don'ts . He told us why fasting doesn't work for him but could work for others and explained why sustainability is the most important thing in a fat loss journey. He doesn't believe in hacks but offers lots of great advice and motivation to get you to the gym, for your head if not for your body.
Tony grew up in Belfast during the Troubles and spoke about how that impacted him and how he only realised his childhood was abnormal when he went to Australia as an adult. -
Bonus: Cheater, Cheater
After asking for dilemmas from the listeners, Terence is unhappy to find himself offering relationship advice and defining infidelity in this week's bonus.
Thankfully, there were some more traditional zingers in the mix too, including the most controversial of all: Is it window-sill or window-still?
Calvin's cleaning habits are exposed and the lads wonder if it's better to be able to change the past or predict the future?

Episode 177 - Resit
It's just the two lads this week as Terence relives his Forbidden Fruit experience and explains why he had a "trauma response" that meant he blocked out one of Nelly Furtado's best songs. Calvin also missed out on his event this weekend after sleeping through almost an entire wedding.
A previously unknown phobia of salt and vinegar crisps gets revealed and a realisation that we are all living in the future is made after the discovery of wifi connected coffee machines.
And as the Leaving Cert (and Junior Cert!) begins, they both wonder if there would be any hope of them passing an exam if they were to sit it today.

Bonus: Michael Owen's Film List: Reviewed
Why does Calvin have Front Seat Im Taxi PTSD? Calvin struggles hard with this week's nickname suggestion and makes his feelings VERY clear about it.
Eoin has a toast related question for the lads that almost causes a meltdown and they get into it about the eight films that Michael Owen has ever watched. It's not a bad list in fairness.
Also ever hear of Joe Quinn Phoenix? Well you're about to. -
Episode 176 w/ Mark Mehigan
Fellow GoLoud podcaster, professional roaster and best selling author Mark Mehigan joins us on this week's podcast for a chat about his journey from alcoholism and addiction to his recent recovery.
Mark is incredibly honest about his struggles in the past and how far he had to go before he finally reached the point of return. His book 'This Is Not A Self-Help Book' topped the charts on its release and rightly so and is a firm favourite in both our houses.
It's an incredible and inspiring story and one Mark tells brilliantly. -
Bonus: Humbled Hiking
Calvin returns from his South American adventure, with stories of altitude sickness and over-confident hiking.
We run through the best of the nicknames you've sent us, and there are some superb examples.
We have zingers about pigeons hunting thumbs, and a lifelong piece of chewing gum.
And we try to figure out what an alien species would make of humanity if Terry Power was sent as Earth's ambassador.
