Episode 291 w/ Stuart Carolan
The lads have spent years quoting Love/Hate, so getting its creator Stuart Carolan into the studio was always going to come with a few questions. They definitely weren’t expecting Kung Fu Panda to be one of the answers, though. Stuart took us behind the scenes of the show that had the country…

Bonus: The Bleedin' 3Arena Bro
There’s a whole lot going on in today’s episode, and the lads don't know if they're coming or going after the big 3Arena announcemnet. Planning is already well underway, with Calvin and Eoin getting carried away with guests and zip lines, and you get an insight into the big secret operation that...

-

-
Bonus: Bare Mattress Buttons
On this weeks Talking More Bollox it’s straight into conspiracy territory (again): what really happened to the lost “Hot Ones” episode, and did it really get wiped from existence after the lads nearly died from spicy wings?
