The 2 Johnnies made the trip up from Tipperary this week for a long overdue bit of craic with the lads. They didn’t arrive in brown boots, so we were off to a promising start.

There’s no shortage of mad stories, from recording a podcast in their jocks in a roasting car to a guitar smash that left one Johnny finishing the show and the other heading to hospital with part of his finger hanging off. We also found out why their local grave digger is harder to book than Garth Brooks, and why an egg throwing champion is a dangerous man to stand in front of.

Amongst all the carry on, there’s also a very personal story about Johnny Smacks’ son, the hospital staff who looked after him, and how the pair turned their gratitude into something special.

Four lads, two podcasts, and somehow Roddy Collins still manages to get a word in.

The energy in studio is very chaotic this week and there’s two million quid on offer for eating 700 bananas. Sounds handy enough, until everyone starts doing the maths.

A listener manages to wind Terry all the way up from the other side of the world by saying he bottled a straightener when they were young fellas. We eventually make it to his question about spiders and Calvin wreckons they're all on creatine this year.

The wind ups keep coming when someone mentions taking the plate out of the microwave and neither Terry or Calvin can cope.

There's also talk of Sunday dinners at the "services", drinking milk in public, and kitchen island competitions at Calvin’s daughter’s sleepover.

Ryan Hennessy, or “your man from Picture This” as he calls himself, returns this week looking fresh as ever.

Ryan’s new poetry book, In Another Lifetime, led into a conversation about putting yourself out there, embracing your accent, and why being a lad from a council estate in Athy should never stop you writing about love. From feeling lost after school to finding his place in music, he’s determined not to be put in a box.

There’s also the magic of Picture This gigs, from a late night proposal in Vicar Street to surprising couples on their wedding day. Terence shares the special connection between the birth of his son and a Picture This song.

Naturally, the lads then asked their romantic, poetry writing guest to judge a diss track from the TBX listeners. A slightly different take on expressing your feelings.
