It's a birthday special with just the two lads this week - And Terence wonders why there's not more fanfare around 29th birthdays and reflects on more than half his 20's spent hosting the podcast.

They debrief on what was possibly the best gig of their lives after seeing Oasis live and Calvin shares his bunking in story but doesn't give too much away.

There are hints for big things coming soon for the podcast and tips on becoming a new dad as names for Terence's unborn son are brainstormed and ruled out. And they answer your questions on things like golf, self care routines and replacement co-hosts.

Can you name something you don’t like about Dublin? Terry cant, but Calvin has a few.

We go through some instantly irritating noises, from alarms to door knocks, and noises that put you into a wonderful mental state.

Calvin fills us in on the romantic success of rural men, and a listener questions has us picking a life as a rock star with a fictional wife.

We get a history lesson on the lads’ childhood of money making schemes, and Terry is not at all happy with a question about sailing out to sea in your house.

Ruth Barry joined us this week and opened up about her harsh upbringing, her struggles with addiction and how it all led her to commit an assault that left her in prison.

Ruth was using her sentence to work on anger management, self improvement and recovering from her addiction before she fell pregnant while on temporary release. As an expectant mother, her treatment in prison changed dramatically, but her youngest daughter gave her the focus to continue to work on herself and to end the cycle of trauma.

Ruth knows first hand what needs to change within the Irish prison service and is now doing amazing advocacy work using her lived experience to improve conditions for the other women going through the system.
