Ep 181: Star Gazing
Darren’s been schmoozing on the celebrity circuit again, and he’s had a style upgrade to better blend in among the beautiful people.Not forgetting his roots though, he’s too shy to make any introductions to the powerful movers and shakers in his midst, and is more comfortable considering getting into some pool hall hustling.Joe attempt a historical deep dive and trips himself up with some highly dubious claims about aliens meddling in Earth’s political affairs, and how the drive to cover up that shady carry on led to arguably the most consequential geopolitical events of the 21st century.Send your questions and comments to [email protected]

Bonus: The Dawn of the Age of Spoof
Joe has got one big claim right, so now the masses have come to say he can never be wrong.

Ep 180: Redemption & Refunds
We interrupt our regular broadcast (briefly) for a long overdue celebration that has left at least one of us feeling very emotional.That's before Joe returns us to normal service with a rundown on his latest series of mishaps, poor decisions and public humiliations - everything from DIY haircuts, to consternation over a restaurant bill, and memories of being trapped in tunnels.Send all of your questions, comments and congratulations to [email protected]

Bonus: Hatless Suspects
We consider which TV ads live rent free in our heads, Joe rumbles the con of disguised Guinness trucks, and a discussion on needless specialised clothing sees Darren tap into his inner Joe as he rails against eyeglasses and knee pads for skateboarders.And Joe, the restaurateur (of sorts) passes his eye over the gimmick eatery scene, and has little hope for it, but he suddenly finds interest in a very specific themed restaurant of his own.
Darren Conway and Joe McGucken present Stall It. Whether it’s a deep dive into mystery, a dose of nostalgia or a wander through the strange worlds of Darren and Joe, Stall It is silly about the serious stuff and serious about the silly. It's the podcast that can go anywhere, with a conversation about an air fryer leaving you discussing your chances of survival in a zombie apocalypse, a childhood memory leading you to re-designing Dublin as a theme park, or a bit of historical trivia leading you down a mysterious rabbit hole.As Joe puts it, it’s “like falling asleep on the bus and waking up in Kimmage, you don't know how you got there."
