Stall It with Darren and Joe

We weigh up the best technology to bring with us the stone age, and hear Joe’s take on a particular period in history as he lays out some theories of mushroom inspired communication from the past.Darren gets an education on the powers of various saints, and picks his own favourite from the canonised crowd.There is a twist in the tale of the now, partially hostage, food truck, and we at long last get the big reveal of what Joe will be selling on his path to becoming a fast food magnate.Meanwhile, Darren’s patenting a very particular kind of cheese, and all of this food business has turned Joe into a real man.And there’s animal talk, from cursing parrots, to cuddly peacocks, and foxes with the zoomies.

We return to the bonus episode with more on Darren’s new found taste for jumping through windows, which has now escalated to kicking beds.We hear about Joe’s views on climbing Mount Everest, and if it is an impressive feat or not, and hang-gliding across the breadth of Dublin city centre.We get the big reveal on the food truck, and there’s much thought given to which celebrity most deserves a punch in the face.

Darren and Joe return to the studio after the success of the live show, and bring with them talk of bizarre CIA mind games, intriguing subcultures, and student revolts against the faculty. There's of course plenty of talk of the live show, from human centipede jokes to a rush to take home some Barry Keoghan cardboard cut outs, and Joe's strange encounters in the show's aftermath.

Maybe Joe's crystal has some power after all, seeing as both the lads have enjoyed two big weeks - Joe has wrapped shooting on his short film which he hopes will shine a spotlight on a part of our recent past that often gets ignored and Darren has stepped into a spotlight of his own after being crowned Dublin's Best Celebrity.Gracious enough to still grant us with his time after his big win, Darren tells us all about the night, which included his first ever trip to Coppers and a potential foray into politics.Joe reveals the content of his pockets includes but is not limited to 5 sets of keys, a door knob and a poker chip. And Darren explains why he got more Easter eggs than Joe's kids did.

There’s a tug of war afoot between factions of the Stall It audience this week, as the supporters of Joe lock horns with those who object to some of his most recent claims.And a brain buster about sneaky home invasion pranks leads to (much) talk of jumping through windows at 3am, postcards from the future and a haunted bathroom mirror.

Joe’s tales of crystals and their magic powers returns but it’s coming up against some opposition this week, and he has a fight on his hands to win over the crowd. However, he has won over one local cat, who appears to be drawn to the high vibrations inside Joe’s house.There’s a lesson on quantum physics for Darren, some theories on “the sound of the universe”, and a disappointing (for Darren) crash course in Egyptian history.As Darren finds himself nominated as one of Dublin’s most loved celebrity we ask if the idea of him becoming Mayor of Dublin is really that far-fetched? And once he’s in the Mansion House, how would Darren spend his   year in the big job?

You come to us for advice this week, as we offer guidance on navigating a potential combustible conflict around a bike and a door; assess a proposed route for Darren to get into heaven; debate the pronunciation of icebergers; analyse a call for mass surveillance of the restaurant industry, and we hear a very odd tale of a very odd late night encounter from one listener.

Darren arrives to record the podcast all shook up after a trip to the doctors quickly turned into a scene from Venom, not helped by his general feelings of confusion caused by watching Jedward eating a roast dinner at 10pm on a Tuesday.Joe descends into the glittering world of all things crystals and emerges with a supposed piece of a meteor to help improve his mood and give him a more positive outlook. It doesn't stop him from getting into a row though after he slips up on Mother's Day. The two lads also brainstorm ideas for a potential Worst Film of the Year winner but can only come up with Oscar worthy ideas, and they wonder whether Ireland's latest Oscar winner, Cillian Murphy, is as aloof as he may seem. Although, with their track record of embarrassing interactions with celebrities, they may not want to meet him even if they could.

One of our listeners treats us to a particularly cinematic gift this week, which somehow leads to Joe making big claims about cloning, and Darren telling tall tales about tractors.The lads are introduced to a new geographical term, and an education on the history of Ireland's most famous graveyard.We have questions about quizzes, and urban legends about gameshow mishaps.And a listener comes for Joe over a big, and seemingly inaccurate, claim he made about a very significant foodstuff.

Joe's really done it this time - He's bought a food truck! But, it's too big for his garden and too heavy for his car to pull so whether his mystery food venture will be up and running in time for the live show on the 6th of April remains to be seen.The discussion sparks a memory for Darren about a unique breakfast location in Finglas during his childhood and Joe talks about his recent trip to a cafe with it's own unique selling point of making all decorative memorabilia themselves.The various days of celebration at the creche frustrate Joe and teach Darren about the latest children's cartoons and might even encourage him to read a new book.Buy tickets to the live show on Ticketmaster now!

Were you to live life as the owner of a dog-sized insect, which species of creepy crawly would you choose as your companion? We spend an unreasonable amount of time exploring the many potential pitfalls of life as the custodian of giant snails, bees and flies.We also discuss the hairstyles of history's most famous vampires, from Dracula to Count Duckula.There's a discussion on the lesser known Baldwin brothers, and consideration given to the scourge of ghost-on-ghost crime.

Could there be anything more shambolic, inept and deliberately shite, than a theme park (or "experience") designed by, and dedicated to, Stall It? We attempt to answer that very question, and dream up everything from haunted houses of wheelie bins and a shopping trolley, to a crafts workshop that is really in pretty poor taste.We also hear tales of being stopped at gunpoint, an attempted kidnapping, bulletproof vests as fashion accessories, and Joe's new "fight, flight and kiss" self defence system.

We explore options for educational reform, with mastery of the treadmill at the core of the future curriculum. Joe calls out the scandal that was false advertising at school open days, particularly in the science lab.The option of a lifetime of riches is spoiled by having to share with a detested neighbour, and we eschew personal wealth in favour of plaguing our enemies with too much sleep, extra cold showers, and two Italian BMTs.Plus there's a breakdown of the breakfast market, from the sweet to the savoury and even the buttered.

Joe tells us about how he once almost became a property mogul, at the tender age of 17. He stood on the edge of an empire, with plans to revolutionise the pool hall scene in Dublin.Sadly this tale is not one of triumph and the business gods didn't smile on Joe, and he is left not with a property empire, but an empire of dirt and a heart full of resentment.Darren has an update on his pawn journey – he’s left the comfort of the couch and entered the real world of haggling over antiques. He’s been haggling at pawn shops and enjoying the thrill of the ride.There’s talk of visiting the Garda seized property auctions, debate over which fictional character Joe most resembles, and updates on his ongoing battle with the food truck industry.

Darren tries Haggis, we hear of exotic visitors to the live show, and weigh up icon Dublin landmarks and institutions to be erased from history.And somehow a discussion on shaving pugs leads to an existential crisis as Daren falls into a wormhole of philosophical thought about the meaning of life, and pugs.

The much discussed fake Rolex arrives amid much fanfare, while Darren’ been literally throwing cash away. Inspired by Darren's reckless disregard for precious metals, Joe’s itching to go on a scavenger hunt, until he learns the laws are  bit more complex than “finders keepers”.Continuing their newfound historical theme, Darren’s been tomb raiding in a supermarket and finds himself considering replacing his collection of toys with a very sensible exhibit of affordable dinosaur fossils.We learn of a remarkably simple but effective scam run inside an English shop, and lament the decline of the simple Swiss roll.During a discussion on social faux pas in Ireland and around the globe we learn that Joe remains utterly undisturbed by what others expect of him in social situations.

Jorts, showband names and multi-pronged pet empires are tangled into the odd web that is this week's bonus episode. Your questions spark discussion on how many businesses you could fit into one truck, why life without a belt is Darren's choice for eternity, and some unfortunate celebrity lookalike allegations.Tickets for Stall It Live at Vicar St are available now at ticketmaster.ieSend your listener questions to stallit@goloudnow.com

Spite once again takes the wheel of Joe’s life, as the desire for petty revenge leads him to lay the foundations for a potentially life changing business venture. But this time, could he be on to a million dollar idea? Or could Darren’s plan for the invention of kebab burgers beat him to the pot of riches?There’s some shocking revelations about 00s cult classic Pimp My Ride, which inspires the lads to design their dream vehicles – with mobile pet grooming, fish tanks and coffee machines at the forefront of the wish list.Darren reveals how Akon fandom remains dominant in his household, which leads to Joe undertaking a mission to get Darren close to his idol, and there are multiple incidences of false advertising of Hollywood superstars appearing at our upcoming live show at Vicar Street.

Is 35 too old to come to the Stall It live show in April? The answer is no, although Darren and Joe may not be the most reassuring comparing the listener who was concerned to other 'ancient' audience members like their mothers and other 'relatives'. They also discuss their favourite conspiracy theories and Joe explains all about the secret Lidl in Antarctica, while Darren wonders about the harsh realities of being ejected from an airplane.

The lads are joined by fellow comedian Kevin McGahern this week who gives the lads an education on life in the country - He explains why he puts on a stronger culchie accent when speaking to the Garda and the boring reality of life on a farm. Darren even attempts to shed his own Dublin accent but only succeeds in taking off his gilet.There's also talk of some previously unheard tales from the Titanic, and other slightly less significant disasters like Joe's first kiss and Kevin's reinvention of himself in a new school. Kevin also shares a story of an audition gone terribly wrong after he went too method and showed up with a can in hand.
