  Episode 284 w/ Hannah Ennis 27.08.2026 51мин

  Hannah Ennis spent years battling anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts before finding the tools that helped her rebuild her life, and eventually turning that experience into her work as a Self Image Coach.This week, Hannah joins the lads to speak openly about struggling with her mental health from a young age, how things deteriorated through her teens and early twenties, and the moment her family stepped in to get her the help she needed. Her journey took her to Thailand for treatment, where the shock of realising she needed more support than she wanted to admit became a major turning point.The gym became a place of solace for Hannah, and her work now focuses on self image rather than just fitness. Therapy, journaling, nervous system work and learning to sit with difficult feelings have all become part of how she looks after herself, and how she helps others do the same.This episode contains discussions about anxiety, depression, self harm, suicide, addiction and mental health.

  Episode 283 w/ Paul Merriman 20.08.2026 1ч 21мин

  Financial advisor Paul Merriman, better known as Ask Paul, joined the lads this week, and if you have ever heard the word pension and immediately stopped listening, this might be the episode for you.Paul broke down money in a way that actually makes sense, from why winning or earning a fortune does not mean you will keep it, to the small weekly changes that could make a massive difference later in life. He also explained why getting on the property ladder matters so much, how overpaying your mortgage can save you serious money, and why putting something away for your kids could set them up in ways most people never hear about.The lads also got into Paul’s own story, from growing up in Tallaght to building and selling his business for millions, and the surprising truth about what that moment actually felt like. Spoiler, it was not quite the fireworks people might imagine.There is talk of pensions, investments and mortgages, yes, but don’t panic. Paul somehow makes it all feel less like homework and more like something you might actually want to sort out.This episode was sponsored by Rightstyle Furniture. RIGHT PRICE, RIGHT STYLE, RIGHT NOW.

  Bonus: Six Weetabix Deep 18.08.2026 21мин

  In this week’s episode the lads get stuck into a classic one of Terry’s irrational fears and he's passed it onto Calvin: the card decline. There’s nothing worse than it happening in public… especially when the person behind you might actually listen to the podcast.Things somehow spiral into the most important debate of our time: can Terry actually eat six weetabix and still go training after?There’s also talk of the “Talking Bollox effect” clearing supermarket shelves, plus a nostalgic detour into COVID panic buying, toilet roll madness, and why society would fall apart over the most replaceable things.Send anything and everything you'd like to hear on the pod to [email protected]

  Episode 282 w/ Paddy The Dagger 13.08.2026 1ч 25мин

  West Belfast comedian Paddy “The Dagger” McDonnell joined the lads this week, and it didn’t take long to find out where the nickname came from. Let’s just say it involves a stag do, a tattoo convention, and a decision his wife definitely didn’t sign off on.Paddy told us about growing up in West Belfast, how getting part of his finger bitten off while working as a doorman somehow led him into comedy, and why that first unexpected seven minute set changed everything. He spoke about going from building sites and taxi driving to selling out arenas, touring the world, and still feeling like there is plenty more to do.And because it’s Paddy, there was no shortage of madness either. We got stories about accidental mushroom soup causing absolute chaos, Belfast names making no sense, taxi passengers asking questions no driver should have to answer and gout ruining Disneyland. Paddy also spoke about his culture and identity, what it was like growing up in a place where there were times he felt he could not fully be himself in certain parts of the north and how much that has changed for the better.

  Bonus: Rolling in the Sheila 11.08.2026 24мин

  The Weetabix chat is still haunting the pod, and the emails are coming in hot – from people toasting them with butter and into an absolute horror story after one too many.Then it’s listeners’ questions: swapping lives for a week, warning labels for each other, and would you rather fight one gorilla a month or seven chickens a day.To top it off: getting chased down Christchurch Hill on the weirdest wheel transport possible, a blind ranking of tea-dunking biscuits that nearly starts a war, and talk of a cereal World Cup next week.Send anything and everything you'd like to hear on the pod to [email protected]

  Episode 281 w/ Andrew Hart 06.08.2026 56мин

  Usually he’s behind the cameras making the lads look good, or at least doing his best, but this week GoLoud’s Video Creative Andrew Hart sits down to tell his own story.The lads know Andrew from working with him every week, so they were shocked to hear what he has been carrying behind the scenes. Growing up in rural Offaly, Andrew had a very close bond with his parents, but after years of health struggles in the family, things took a heartbreaking turn when he lost his dad to cancer in 2020. Just a few years later, he also lost his mam after her struggles with grief, addiction and mental health ended in suicide.Andrew spoke with honesty and compassion about losing both parents so close together, and the impact it has had on him as a young man. He also told us how therapy helped him begin to process his grief, and why he wanted to share his family’s story in the hope it might help someone else keep going.This episode contains discussions about grief, addiction, suicide and mental health.

  Bonus: Weetabix Wars 04.08.2026 23мин

  The lads are back with another chaotic one, starting off with moving to Japan tomorrow and how long you’d last in a place where everything actually works. It doesn't take long for a full-blown, studio-shaking argument about how many Weetabix [or is it Weetabick?] a grown man can really eat.Listener emails take over too: there's love all the way from Munich, birthday messages, confusion about who's responsible for the absolute state of public toilets in Dublin and there’s a classic would-you-rather that has the boys imagining an extra leg booting people on Grafton Street or an extra arm robbing everything in sight.Keep sending your questions to [email protected]

  Episode 280 w/ Ryan Chaos Curtis 30.07.2026 1ч 6мин

  Ryan “Chaos” Curtis returns to the podcast this week, and the progress he has made since his last appearance is unbelievable.Ryan talked to the lads about the work he has been putting in every day since his spinal injury, why he refuses to accept limits, and how the boring, unsexy work is usually the thing that gets you where you want to go. He spoke about learning to move again, training twice a day, wanting to run with his dog again, and why he still has no bad feelings towards MMA despite everything that happened.There was plenty of laughs too, from hospital flashbacks with Terry, childhood performances in the pub, getting abuse online for his Dublin accent, and why nobody from Dublin should ever have to say the word “beige” in public.This episode was sponsored by Rightstyle Furniture.

  Bonus: Caterpillar Boots 28.07.2026 26мин

  Willa and Eric stuck around for the bonus episode and it goes exactly where you’d expect.The lads get hit with would-you-rathers that turn into full debates, like always wearing gloves vs always being on roller skates (including rollerblading into the bedroom backwards), and the appropriate response to seeing someone wearing two different runners.There’s also peak second-hand embarrassment with cards declining, a bus driver singling you out, popping balloons walking into every room for a year, and the ongoing mystery of who ratted Terry out for collecting caterpillars in the flats.Keep sending your questions to [email protected]

  Episode 279 w/ Willa White & Eric Lalor 23.07.2026 57мин

  Good friends and now neighbours Eric Lalor and Willa White joined the lads this week, fresh from launching their new GoLoud podcast House Of Fun. With this amount of energy in one room the conversation quickly went from holy pilgrimages to spice bags, and Eric and Willa talked about getting back behind the mic together. Naturally, this led to chats about what age you are in heaven, kebabs worth travelling for, scam calls, and petal pyramid schemes. We also got some vintage Eric and Willa tales, including stolen runners and post-rave horror stories like falling asleep under a deli counter and playing football when you're definitely not in the state of mind to be on a pitch.

  Bonus: Sink the Sink 21.07.2026 34мин

  Siobhán is back in the studio and the lads immediately kick off with the real hard-hitting debate: are you too old to be eating a petit filou at 29 years of age?From there it’s the hard hitting questions, would you rather have a squirrel rob an important item every week or a pigeon follow you around screaming every time you lie? The lads get into search histories vs last 20 photos, “Irish ma’s know everything”, and a full nostalgia spiral into emo bands from the secondary school days.To finish, Adam sends in the most specific would-you-rather ever: sink-to-sink teleporting vs airport-only flying.

  Episode 278 w/ Megan O'Reilly 16.07.2026 55мин

  This week the lads sit down with Megan O’Reilly, who has been making people laugh online with her hilarious rants and stories about everyday life.Megan told us about herself and her four sisters being raised by her dad, who deserves a medal by the sounds of it, and the craic they had growing up in the estates in Blanch. Don’t be fooled though, the neighbours are being thrown under the bus when a zinger about the hosepipe ban is put to her. We found out why she’d be the worst contestant on The Chase, why she doesn’t see herself as a lesbian life coach, and how she’d be made no fool of if she was sucked out of an airplane window.Megan also shared how one work rant led to her making videos online, the confidence it’s given her, and why, thanks to one particular female Irish comedian, stand up comedy could be next, if she can survive the thought of her sisters watching from the crowd.This episode was sponsored by Rightstyle Furniture.

His choice will suprise nobody.Keep the questions coming by sending them to [email protected]
