Ep 183: The Hustle
Darren has been on an adventure, at the behest of the national broadcaster, and he’s taken the chance to try to hustle some older gentlemen, but found himself swimming with the pool sharks.There’s talk of options for socialising, and Joe admits to a fear of being asked to go to the pictures with a friend.There’s a look at probably the most extreme form of socialising, America’s scariest house – which really doesn’t sound like much fun at all.And there is brief consideration given to life on an isolated island.

Bonus: Tipping Can Get In The Bin
Things get heated as the lads discuss tipping. Is giving the binman a few bob a load of rubbish? Can the delivery guy get on his bike? Does even the postie get a stamp of approval? Joe gets nailed with a picture based zinger and they get into it about owning an aquariam sized Jurassic park.Warning: Any offence to any guinea pigs listening is entirely unintentional.

Ep 182: The Jesus and Mary Train
It’s far too early, some would argue, but Darren is out of the block fast and racing into the festive season. This of course means the Christmas trees debate is back, and we end up with complaints about the smell of bark and dreams of an imagined Jesus train.We bemoan the lack of tack at Christmas now, and that sets Joe off on a magical tour of his own imagination as he dreams up the tackiest home décor plan he can conjure – from indoor palm trees to magnificent, mismatched lampshades, and life size ornamental zebras wearing tutus.After much build up, Darren’s delivered his wedding invites to Joe and Eoin. They’re very fancy and cause much fuss.Joe comes in to us with some TikTok alien theories, and he wants us to believe there are extraterrestrials under the sea, to the point he’s outraged this isn’t a central issue in the Irish general election. he's also keen to talk down our sun, and argue it's the worst of all suns. A crap sun.In this episode we talk about a new podcast from GoLoud, The Gambler, and you can listen to that here: https://open.spotify.com/show/6rDXDZO10vChppLfIxLyFF?si=3659c4a758874b87Send all of your comments and questions to [email protected]
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."
