From Texas to Tarmacking. From sourdough to Sligo. It’s Istanbullocks. You’ve been warned
Ray’s lost in a fairy ring somewhere west of Galway, Morgan Freeman’s reads a tennis poem ''Balls'' and segues into Sue Barker fantasies, while Liam Neeson is pitching Breaking Bread — a Ballymena crime drama about a sick chemistry teacher who illegally peddles gluten-free soda farls - any similarities with Breaking Bad are purely coincidental. Aye right!
Jorma holds the fort in Crete with tales of Greek bureaucracy, how his singing could lead to a Welsh Bafta, and an Irish DJ argues with a Jack Russell about WB Yeats. Plus music from Gorilla Radio and a restraining order from a woman in Ballina, who's been the victim of lingerie theft.

Summer’s here — and everyone’s thrilled… except a furious Galway sex shop owner named Dave.
Ray takes us on a wild tour through the erotic aisles of Laura Jane Boutique—brace yourself, it’s not for the faint-hearted. Doris Freeman spills the tea on why her husband Morgan is sulking, while Morgan himself delivers a surprisingly heartfelt spoken word on spirituality, grief, and whisky.
Sam Smith returns with quirky confessions about his solo rituals and a baffling new ambition: to become an oyster.
And in our weekly sketch, Kaiden Stokes attempts to join a women’s football team by playing the trans card, sparking chaos and comedy in equal measure.

In the latest episode of Talking Istanbullocks, things spiral from the valleys of Wales to the poultry pens of Lickey End.
Jorma belts out “The Rambler”, a Kenny Rogers-style ballad advising Welsh village pub-goers about Brexit, inbreeding and sheep-related shame.
True or False starts with Norm from Cheers and somehow ends with Irish wakes and obituaries, Welsh Baftas, and Paul Bastard — Torquay United’s fan liaison officer turned internet legend.
In Lickey End, Norma’s standing for Reform UK but forgets politics the moment she sees her black, poultry-farming Tory rival. Love (or something like it) blossoms over his prize cock.
Ray praises actress Joan O’Ruairc for her role as long-suffering Betty and launches an unofficial campaign for her Welsh Bastard BAFTA — and no, that’s not a typo.
Packed with satire, innuendo, and the sort of nonsense that’d turn your uncle off and make your auntie want it all the harder

Jorma and Ray are celebrating three years of Talking Istanbullocks — with goats, Trump, and a whole lot of “leather!” (You’ll have to listen to understand that one.)
Expect:
– A Morgan Freeman poem about semi-retirement, Gary Lineker and goats, and the joys of not listening to your wife
– A True or False segment full of goat facts and Ray-grade puns
– A sketch where Trump and Musk plot to tax penguins and colonise Mars, until Chris the Talking Dog crashes the party and Mexican fishermen save the day.
Also: a cheating father explains politics to his son with a crystal clear analogy

He's back. He’s brooding. He’s possibly plagiarising. And he's forgotten his sandwiches.
This Liam Neeson Special features five of our most beloved (and ridiculous) parody interviews from the past three years — plus two raunchy sketches involving a sultry American MILF named Vagella Rick-Rocks, who may or may not be trying to seduce Liam in increasingly absurd scenarios.
Along the way, Liam overshares about romance, attempts to rebrand himself as a serious creative artist, and pitches original ideas such as:
While giving us first-hand insight into his bizarre world of:
Each sketch is followed by commentary from Jorma and Ray, who try (and mostly fail) to make sense of Liam’s creative process, real-life zoo visits and late night video games with celebrity friends like Carol Vorderman, Bill Nighy and Gerry Adams - and suspiciously familiar plotlines.
It’s part tribute, part chaos, part forgotten sandwiches – with extra lashings of filth.
All sketches written by Jorma Kirkko.

Ray and Jorma kick off 2025 with the rudest episode we’ve done in a long time—but also one of the funniest! Expect geographical and Nena trivia, as well as a deep dive into the town of Wank and its premium leisure pass. Meanwhile, Morgan Freedman graces us with a poetic reflection on anal bleaching, dedicated (of course) to Ray.
Elon Musk makes an appearance in a sketch filled with whiskey, ketamine, and unsolicited pizza orders for Justin Trudeau. Then, the moment you've all been waiting for—Dr. Brutus Himmler returns to probe Ray in a cutting-edge psychiatric experiment. Will he beat the rectal polygraph and finally be free of his past obsessions?
Also, find out why Wank Mountain is a real place, why Love Island contestants fear the unbleached, and how the lads continue their campaign to get Musk to notice their sketches. Expect relentless filth, juvenile humour, and highly questionable medical procedures!

In this laugh-packed episode of Talking Istanbullocks, the boys talk Istanbul cosmetic surgery and the dulcet tones of Morgan Freedman as he recites a poem on the curious trend of 'brieing'—yes, you heard that right, cheese takes centre stage in this ECSTATIC verse.

The episode only gets funnier with a side-splitting sketch featuring Kaiden Stokes, who gets more than he bargained for when he invites a Native American guest to his Thanksgiving dinner. Expect awkward cultural misunderstandings, plenty of laughs, and a not-so-traditional holiday meal that takes an unexpected turn!
Don't miss out on Honzie's Horoscopes and Psychic Predictions for August—where the future seems oddly familiar, and the stars have a wicked sense of humour.

While Ray Mac lounges like a sun-kissed lizard somewhere mysterious, Jorma holds the (Venetian) fort from sunny Chania, Crete with controversial Irish artist Jamie T. Murphy co-hosting from Wexford, Ireland.
It's a summer special packed with sketches, poetry, and stories you probably wouldn’t hear on the BBC.
Jamie turns the tables and interviews Jorma, leading to a chaotic mix of nonsense and nostalgia that's a real insightful treat for regular listeners. including too much information about pubic depilation, jam, King Charles' breakfast, the rigours of wokeness and a surprisingly moving tribute to Ray softcore 80s film collection.
The lads mostly manage to avoid politics and sport, but absolutely nobody is safe from mockery.
Highlights Include:
