Comedian Al Foran joins us this week and, between appearances of Mark Wahlberg and Michael Douglas, he aids Darren and Joe in plotting a memorabilia investment strategy and recalls a terrifying encounter with Mike Tyson.

We're joined by special guest Al Foran this week, who helps the lads take your questions on everything from reliving childhood in anther era, to designing obnoxiously large historical monuments in their memory.

Darren and Joe have their faith shaken as they hear that many things they took as fact are little more than myths - from the pyramids to the origins of Santa.

Quandaries on journeys through space, time and the deepest oceans are on taxing the lads as they weigh up the pros and cons of being a fish out of water visiting the distant past or far-off future, and get the choice of one (kind of, but not really) super power.

Joe's travels among the underground Irish hip hop scene, the Summer of Love, invented (and contested) prophecies of doom and Darren's themed parties are all on the agenda, but the most important moment this week could be Darren's admission to being unaware of a major (and incredibly widespread) part of pop culture history.

Your questions ignite a debate on the lifestyle benefits of teleportation versus time travel, a mysterious yet eerily familiar scent invading a listener's home, and Stall It's top tips for visiting Dublin.

Would Darren enjoy a life in the priesthood? Why is he so upset that Joe asks? Would Joe make it as a world champion in the world of competitive phone box fighting?
