Stall It with Darren and Joe

• Bonus: The Comedy Con

  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.We hear from one listener who exposes Darren's comedy theft, but Darren isn't accepting the criticism and instead comes out swinging at his accuser.Darren reveals the best way to give a child nightmares, off the back of a question about lies we believed as children.Joe dreams of life with a perfect memory and dodges an attempted fact check over his story that certain memories can be removed by shock therapy.We engage in a brief but very serious conversation about the history of The B Sharps.And before long Darren and Joe become fascinated with the chat box feature on our remote recording programme.Send all of your questions and comments to [email protected]

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

  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 hilarious anecdote.Send all of your questions and comments to [email protected]

• Ep 193: Tyrannosaurus Thespian

  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 national voice of the sliced pan. We hear about two interactions Darren had with Keith Duffy, and while the first interaction is a moment of great reflected celeb glory, the second is a brutal humiliation. We have a significant dinosaur update. The beast has found a home, too close to home, and Joe is wondering what long term impacts a dinosaur in Coolock might have on his life – from fighting with the neighbours about the beast in the front garden, to the children of the area being cursed with weekly visits to see the dinosaur, and even a potential backlash from the local youth. And Darren reveals a deep distress about discarded mattresses, from their smell to their potent threat to life. Send all of your comments and questions to [email protected]

• Bonus: Midnight Matrix

  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 most devious yet subtle tactics for driving each other insane with midnight break ins. Everything from swapping chihuahuas to unlocked doors and running taps, and even some cement toothpaste.Send all of your questions and comments to [email protected]
