    A guy recommended you’s in work as I was looking for a podcast to listen to. He now has gotten the sack for falling asleep on his desk. However, I kept listening 😆 it’s been a few months and I have to say I love it. I’m on episode 68 and counting can’t wait to have caught up with the recent ones! Keep doing what you’re doing. 👌

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bonus: The Tony Hawk Fella
Q: Would you rather wake up one morning with a scorpion on your face or a tarantula on your genitals, with both staying still for 30 minutes?
The hosts weigh the potential danger of a scorpion's sting against having a tarantula in a sensitive area. Calvin chooses the tarantula, while Aoife and Terence choose the scorpion.
Bonus: The Tony Hawk Fella
Q: If your life was a movie, where would the opening scene start, and what is the soundtrack playing?
The hosts suggest scenes at the Rotunda, onstage at the 3Arena and at other pivotal moments. Terence chooses a song from Rocky, while Aoife picks Disclosure's “White Noise.”
Episode 294 w/ Tom Grennan
Q: Was the decision to go sober because you were in a really dark place, or was it the child coming along?
Grennan says it was both. He describes reaching a low point, relapsing after his daughter was born, then recognizing during a moment with her that he needed to change.
Episode 294 w/ Tom Grennan
Q: What's the inspiration behind “Wrapped in Gold”?
Grennan says becoming a father and pursuing sobriety led him to reassess his identity and return to guitar after three years away. The song is about slowing down, staying present, and preserving meaningful memories.
Science Week Special - Fluid Dynamics: How Water Drives Performance
Q: What would be the best advice for somebody running a marathon about how to prepare their hydration?
Egan advises drinking normally in the days before the race, ensuring regular fluid intake closer to race day without overdrinking, and generally drinking to thirst. Athletes pursuing marginal performance gains may plan their fluid intake more carefully.
