Stall It with Darren and Joe

Joe wants to become a biker and Darren wants to become a wedding planner – but he’s worried about getting his spelling right. Joe unveils a controversial t-shirt and there’s a lot of talk about the passing of Pope Francis, with Darren fondly remembering the time the Pontiff me...

Terence power returns to once gain fill the gap left by Joe making his White House visit, and we are rapidly thrown into a confused delve into the theory of evolution, with big questions around the origins of Jack Russells and how evolution led humanity to walk upright, use tools and at long last to making podcasts. There’s an issue raised with someone blowing up the moon to make a statement, and...

With Joe making a last minute visit to the White House we draft in friend of the podcast, Terence Power, from Talking Bollox. It’s not long before Darren and Terence are plotting longer term plans and prison escapes. Terence breaks a cardinal rule of Stall It around birthdays, and gives us some information about birthday weeks that would enrage our absent co-host. Darren strikes back at some liste...

And so here we are, 200 episodes in and after over 10,000 minutes of podcasting, are we stuck searching the GoLoud offices for a tin whistle? Yes we are. Beyond the hunt for a wind instrument that fits the occasion, we enjoy a retrospective of the past two ton of shows, with everyone from Stadium the Stadium to the Joe’s mate Barry getting their mention. We hear a bleak update on the future of the...

We have the option of some noisy shoes and a lifetime option of tracksuits, and Darren has grown sick of bean juice even as conspiracy theories float around the great controversy. And there’s a strongly worded reply to a question about the physics of sandwich consumption. Send all of your questions and comments to stallit@goloudnow.com

We pit the global AI giants in a battle of which computing superpower has the greatest knowledge of Stall It, and find a clear and decisive winner – and a snarky loser. Joe is almost deported, or thinks he is, as he falls to victim to an exquisitely executed hoax. Joe longs to have a stalker and Darren plans for questioning by border authorities on his honeymoon. We hear about the disappointing re...

The bean juice and ketchup debate rages on and Joe is, unsurprisingly, not backing down. We completely lose our composure as we remember the Eurosaver menu. And we outrage ourselves over your questions about drinking tea from a glass and old wives tales. Send all of your questions and comments to stallit@goloudnow.com

We almost have no Joe this week, and Darren isn’t sure if him showing up late is better than never showing up at all. We take a trawl through Darren’s looks throughout the ages and as we analyse his timeline we realise he has regressed, around the time he and Joe got into a relationship. We hear about Darren’s big audition to land a potentially career altering role, which ends up in an excruciatin...

We consider fashion through the ages, and somehow end up with Darren imagining being jocked during the Free Love era. There’s a bath of beans that leads on to a hearted debate about the specific differences, or not, between ketchup and the tomato juice in your tin of baked beans. One listener asks a question that finds an unwelcome response (sorry) and Joe continues to forget our most dedicated Am...

Darren reveals a new talent as he unveils his latest artistic creation, and all before he heads off to judge a school talent contest where he hopes ane expects to see a dog performing tricks. Joe’s life in America reaches ever greater heights of glamour as he’s started microwaving his veg, but he has finally made it to the stage as his play gets underway.

In slightly less grotesque surrounding this week, Joe updates us on progress with his odyssey in the world of theatre. Things are not going great, and there is suspicion the whole story about his life as a co-star in the USA may just be an elaborate ruse to take a holiday. Among his tall tales are claims the rats are chasing him down the street on his scooter, and among his unfortunate admissions...

Our man in Washington Joe joins us once again and whilst the eyes of the world are discussing goings on in The White House the lads tackle the real issues like what would you put in the press come Doomsday. The answers are revealing and repelling in equal measure. Speaking of high-brow culinary chat, things get heated when it comes to defining what pork scratchings ACTUALLY are. Pork or fat? The b...

We go live to Ahmehrica for a look inside Joe's life as a theatre co-star in Washington DC. We learn of Benny Bowls and Crank hats, hear about Joe's attempts to appear unfazed by life on the mean streets of DC, and get a rundown of Joe's very rundown lodgings. Joe gets a serious scare while recording and tells us he suspects the ghosts of Coolock have travelled across the ocean with him (but it mi...

We are joined this week by the new Stall It Washington D.C. correspondent, Joseph McGucken, who comes to us from a somewhat noisy and spooky basement in America's capital.

Darren reveals the best way to give a child nightmares, off the back of a quest...

We delve into the world of languages, from the fictional to the very real but very rare.

Darren dreams of a life where he's motivated, while Joe gives an incredibly strange take on Irish history and geography that ends up in a startling revision of the island’s past. We cover gambler’...

There’s a lot of singing this week, from Nirvana to Shaggy. Continuing the music theme we consider a life as a boyband reject or a boyband interloper. We then continue the continuation of career talk with Joe offering Darren the chance to star in a remake of a cult comedy classic. And in attempt to give us a dramatic story of crime, Darren unveils an utterly uninspiring but unintentionally hilario...

It’s finally happened, Joe has got his big break and he’s off to join the theatre crowd as a part of a very high brow (and very, very serious) production. Somehow his explanation of this turn of events leads us to hear about a toupee with international consequences. Darren believes he has what it takes to become Ireland’s number one celebrity impersonator, and Joe thinks Darren could become the na...

A ball to the face or ants for friends? The Stall It listeners continue to ask the big, big questions and give us a lot to chew over. We get a question that offers all good options and the chance to double our time in life, or gorge ourselves on greasy foods with zero consequences. Darren takes time to come around to the concept of covert break ins around Joe’s house, but we eventually explore the...

Darren and Joe offer their sincere apologies to anyone affected by the poor time management that meant the episode was late this week, and if Darren’s DMs are anything to go by, there were lots of you impacted.

Darren has major boiler disasters and it’s led him to the world of cold showers, which has opened up a route to becoming a wellness influencer.

In the latest update on Joe’s dinosaur, we receive a potentially lucrative offer to take it off his hands. – and he...

 Darren decides he could hunt a rabbit but not a bear, but he has no problem with mixing sardines and chickatees.

Joe has received perhaps the strangest notification of his life - there's a giant dinosaur in a big wooden crate addressed to him waiting at Dublin Port. How did it get there? Why does he need to pay €350 to have it released? Would he get away with having in the front garden of his home in Coolock? We answer all of these questions. A listener sets a challenge, which Darren and Joe gladly accept -...

Joe came for the bus network, so the bus drivers have now come for Joe - and they have not shown up empty handed, as Joe finds himself on the end of a brutal fact checking. Of course, he refuses to back down. One listener suspects he is living inside the Stall It version of The Truman Show, while Joe has a theory about Truman Show style goings on in our own world. And we make the case for one of t...
