Stall It with Darren and Joe

GoLoud

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."

Ep: 261 - "I Loafed A Seagull"
Joe is back from his hols in Tenerife and fair to say the review score is on the lower side of the spectrum. On the plus side he did get to accidentally headbutt a seagull on the way into the recording so we get a near live report of the incident. Darren has a new air-con set up and in start contrast to the Spanish resort, it hads been a very psotive experience. Joe thinks golfing is easy and Darren is convince that with the right backing he can become a pop sensation. Send all your questions and comments to stallit@goloudnow.com.

Bonus bonus: Thank You For Flying Stall Air
Now it is Joe's turn to fly solo which is timely as this week he gets free reign to launch his own airline and needless to say most of not all of his ideas would struggle to get off the ground. Drogheda gets another kicking unfortunately but he does get to wax lyrical about the attractions of Talbot St. It's Dubs Vs Culchies this week too and thanks to Producer Ed's rousing speeach about the glory of a country deli counter the batte is lost for the Jackeens.

Darren is flying solo this week but fear not there's plenty questions and answers to go around.

Ep 260: Driver Theory Testing With Terence Power
Joe is on his hols so stepping into his size 12s is none other than the Terrry Flower fella.

We get to hear about the legendary Declan breakfast roll and they swap their ideal take-outs. Darren recounts the time he got a random box at a bus stop and it seems Terry has some VERY strict rules when it comes to wearing socks. Send all your questions and comments to stallit@goloudnow.com.

Ep 256: Final Face Off (Moon pt. 5)
Welcome to the moon main event. Joe goes to war on behalf of the conspiracy community, and faces his regular fact checking foe. Are the missing moon tapes and JFK's missing brain linked? Who knows, but Joe has an idea - and even a suspect. Eoin initially opts for a gentler approach to the inevitable conflict with Joe, and he sets out on a search for common ground. But, of course, it fails and we are soon back on familiar ground. There's more allegations of Finglas moon thievery, and Joe has a suspect for that one too. We also bring you Darren freaking out over the thought of his iPhone floating through space for eternity, and Eoin celebrating a small win on his thankless quest for an acceptance of science.

Ep 255: Birds Fly, Joe Doubts (Moon Pt 4)
We reach the critical crunch of our space odyssey, and back on our home planet we find the story of the moon landing beset by very earthly problems. Sections of an increasingly cynical and distrusting population start to question if humanity’s greatest achievement was all that was claimed, or just a big spoof. We go through the strange sequence of events & a peculiar cast of characters, who began the claim that the moon landing was a hoax. There are men smashing up their TVs and hating supermarkets, stories of astronauts hiding out in the casinos of Las Vegas, allegations the Mafia ran security for NASA, and possibly the most entertaining of all conspiracy theories – that Stanley Kubrick faked the moon landing, and secretly confessed to it in one of his most famous films. It’s the story of a conspiracy theory that begins among a strange secret society (possibly a drinking club) and then simmers on the fringes for decades until a few key events, and people, supercharge it. There are also too many snooker references. This episode was originally in one part, but our own strange sequence of events has led to us having to split it into two – all of which we try to explain.

Ep 254: Mind Reading & Masons (Moon Pt 3)
Who invented the moonwalk? Does it really matter? We get derailed by the history of dance before we can take our first step on the lunar surface for the third installment of our deep dive into the moon landing. We then get sidetracked by a debate over if the moon has days and nights, and some (inevitable) talk about flossing on the moon, but it’s not long before we’re skipping into tales of moon rocks in Finglas, the little known truth behind Neil Armstrong’s most famous quote, and secret holy ceremonies and secret telepathic experiments on the moon - and all on NASA’s time. After their high risk landing the Apollo 11 astronauts may have hoped to be free of danger, but we hear how a broken switch, a high ladder step and a quickly shutting door could have caused separate disasters, in the space of just a few minutes. The conversation gets heated over talk of visible wires holding up the astronauts, and we all share in the childlike joy of Darren Conway realizing his new moon toys have a secret power.
