Stall It with Darren and Joe

"Welcome in” to this week’s episode of Stall It, where Darren’s hiding under his hat and Joe’s losing the rag over both fake space films and real‑life moon missions.The lads wander through old traditions like bull runs, cheese‑rolling and, of course, the ploughing, before things take a morbid turn with the history of Irish wakes featuring organised scraps, kissing games and all.Darren has a brand new career path as Joe plots his rise as a poker prodigy for next year’s Irish Open, and Joe is still fuming over his trip to see Project Hail Mary and ranting about NASA’s Artemis II like it personally offended him.Send all your questions and comments to stallit@goloudnow.com.

The lads are doing some light 'mic work' in this week's bonus episode and kick things off with a riddle about a butcher, a baker and a candlestick maker that properly melts Darren’s head.Joe doubles down on his hatred of tourists kissing random things like the Blarney Stone and the Pope's ring, and it all gets a bit messy when they debate what electrical device they'd want to be if they were a Transformer.Email: stallit@goloudnow.com

Joe’s under siege from April Fools’ pranks as Moira goes all-in with fake Sky Sports headlines, while Darren admits he completely forgot April Fools’ Day and starts pitching terrible prank ideas involving fake dog poo and frozen soup.Darren gets absolutely roasted by Joe for cancelling a Vegas holiday over TikTok-fuelled fears of bombs and world war.

This week in the “Church of Stall It”, the lads are answering another stealing dilemma, starting with an Elsa doll mix-up and ending up with Joe off on a full-blown rant about Disney adults robbing the magic from kids.Darren has to answer a truly grim hypothetical about how many fingers or toes he would sacrifice to get Frank back from dognappers, or whether he’d spend a whole year talking like The Monk instead.If you've any questions for the lads fire them in to stallit@goloudnow.com

Joe has been at the documentaries again and takes it upon himself to give a lecture on the science behind nuclear bombs which results in a debate about whether water is wet.We also get to hear about the time Joe confronts a childhood bully with suprising results and Darren (un)fondly recalls taking a smack at a bus stop.They also count the cost of those frankly hilarious animal A.I videos and they take dig out some of their favourite ads of all time.

Now that the shamrocks have been stored away for another year, Darren and Joe take a reflective look back on their own Paddy's Day 2026.

This week Darren and Joe take a walk, or rather a jump into memory lane as they revisit some of the absolutely mad/life threatening things kids used to get up to to amuse themselves back in the day. Fresh from being part of a media event they hit us with some mindblowing facts about social media before Joe reveals that Darren let rip on stage...and not in a conversational way. Darren has watched the Louis Theroux doc that everyone is talking about and they get into it about the current state of the 'Manosphere'.So all in all they go on quite the journey this week it's fair to say.Send all your questions and comments to stallit@goloudnow.com

The boys are back in bonus town with a fistful of mad queries from you the listener.

Unfortunately the lads were only able to record a bonus this week but they have ensured it's a super, extra chunky one.This week we get to learn that Darren eats cubes of mashed potatoes and Joe gives us a potted history of firearms.

Firstly our apologies for the lateness of the bonus this week but it's all Joe's fault. That's what you get when you follow an A.I diet!A listener's kindly offer to send on one of Darren's long lost movies sends the boys spiralling down a rabbit hole of video nasties from their youth, including a female Chucky Doll and a cross-over that never was.

It's a crowded studio this week with both Eoin AND Ed being roped in to wrangle a recording out of the boys. Not only that but there's a random young fella in the corner which prompts Darren and Joe to get nostalgiac about their own youth with stories of Man Utd banners and accusations of pen knife theft.Joe has an absolutely disatrous run in with some 'dinosaurs' but cheers up when he gets to wax lyrical about his recent obsession with chess whilst Darren makes a shock confession about the serious lack of boardgames in his youth.Two listener warnings though: There is a truthful discussion of Santa and the willie mugs make a reapprearance.And don’t forget to join us for our live show at Vicar Street on February 12th.

Some EXCELLENT listener questions have the boys' brains working overtime this week as they get to be a fly on some very interesting walls whilst also trying to work out how to get home to Finglas whilst entirely naked. Joe unwittingly reveals his shallow attraction to rich people and poor Eoin gets grilled about his choice of breakfast.Send all of your questions and comments to stallit@goloudnow.com

The lads are feeling a little out of place this week in their new studio and Joe soon storms out over the building rules about his (inappropriate) parking of his (surprisingly large) scooter.  Joe asks what would be the one big thing that would give away that you're not Irish, and gives a fiery defence of why he can't get the bus or train when floods block his route to work. There's a debate on whether it's weird to see someone you know with no shoes on, or even worse, in their togs at the Aquatic Centre, and a listener send us in a Simpsons and Father Ted quiz that tests if the lads are the super fans they claim to be.  And don’t forget to join us for our live show at Vicar Street on February 12th.
