Advertise on podcast: Stall It with Darren and Joe

The lads are feeling a little out of place this week in their new studio and Joe soon storms out over the building rules about his (inappropriate) parking of his (surprisingly large) scooter.    Joe asks what would be the one big thing that would give away that you're not Irish, and gives a fiery defence of why he can't get the bus or train when floods block his route to work.   There's a debate on whether it's weird to see someone you know with no shoes on, or even worse, in their togs at the Aquatic Centre, and a listener send us in a Simpsons and Father Ted quiz that tests if the lads are the super fans they claim to be.    And don’t forget to join us for our live show at Vicar Street on February 12th.

Scootergate rumbles on into the bonus as much like said scooter, Joe cannot park this outrageous injustice. Even poor Imelda May gets dragged into it. A question of who they could handle being stuck in a lift with causes further ructions and they get to plot their escape in a Dublin version of The Running Man.

The lads are in mad mystical form this week as Joe has introduced Darren to the power of crystals and he's already seeing the benefits. Ed is not convinced. Darren describes a mind bending experience with Keith Barry which allows Joe to showcase his own brain hacking skills. They also get to reignite an ancient fued with Ryan Tubridy.

A listener/teacher has been kind enough to send in the lads a fully formed quiz at a 4th class levbel to see how the boys get on with it. We'll let you decide. They also get a definitive answer on the 'cinema door' conundrum and they get to discuss was it worth it for Judas to rat out his pal. Send all of your questions and comments to [email protected]

It's awards season and the lads are off to the Oscars AGAIN (in their heads) and they debate who to bring, who to burn in the speech and wetting themselves on the red carpet. Benjamin Franklin makes his fist appearance on the pod and they discuss how shite kite flying is and their ability to survive a bow and arrow attack. With Grok in the news we get to enjoy what image Joe would rustle up of Darren and fair warning...it's not pretty. Joe gets offered an acting role during the recording and they decide what team they are in the comedy Premier League. And don’t forget to join us for our live show at Vicar Street on February 12th.

Some excellent listener questions this week for the lads to chew on...literally as they get to discuss the sounds that drive them up the walls. Things take a spiritual turn as a listener asks if they could cut it as a priest and needless to say Joe thinks it would be a walk in the park (or at least the church grounds). And the great Scatman John gets his rightful dues. Send all of your questions and comments to [email protected]

Eoin is back in the house to try and put manners on the lads with middling success it must be said. He's noticed a change in Darren's attire recently and Joe's recent rants get the boss's assessment. Inspired by a very questionable 1970's social experiment, a thought experiment ensues and we get to hear what they'd do to drive eachother pure mad. Things get a bit Shakespearean when Joe gets outraged by Romeo & Juliet and poor darren gets freaked out by what happens to your head after it's been guillotened into a basket.

It may be a new year but don't think the listener's have forgotten #BEANJUICEGATE as it rears it's controversial head once again. The lads get asked to design mancaves for the stars (we're not sure poor old Brendan O'Connor will be best pleased with his outcome) and they're soon incorporating the legendary Jumbo Breakfast Roll. With Eoin away they get brave and get to see if he does indeed look like a character from Futurama. Send all of your questions and comments to [email protected]

The boys are BACK for the first chat of 2026 and rundown of how their collective Christmas and New Years went. Joe does his his family dynamic no favours but going in on his mother in law's Christmas dinner offering whilst Darren impresses nobody with his fancy steak and half-zip combo. Joe's entrepreneurial spirit is on point as ever as they discuss setting up a sauna business with added smoking options and we get to experience the VERY weird way he sleeps. Darren went to see one of his favourite bands by accident but the reviews are in from Joe and safe to say, he has some strong opinions.

The boys are back in pod town and easing themselves into matters with a shared rant about music in pubs and poor ol' Christy Moore catches a few strays in the process. Darren shuts down ANY discussion of his most embarassing moment with Amy and things all a bit Freudian when they get into it about their fever dreams.

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the studio, nothing was stirring apart from Darren and Joe. Ahead of the arrival of the 26 fella, the boys take a whistful look back on some of their more memorable moments of the rolloercoaster that was 2025. From Joe's hottest takes/hardest facts involving Brazilian aliens and the infamous bean juice shout to Darren's stratospheric climb up the greasy pole of fame they bid a fond fist bump to the year that was.

There's QUITE the cast of characters this week's listener fuelled ramblings from Elmo negotiating contracts to the Unabomber being forced to ride shotgun on a road trip across Ireland. Joe gets triggered into another rant about the existence of chicken soup, Darren proclaims his hatred of raisins and they get to 'enjoy' Ed's near psychotic disdain of seagulls.

Joe and Darren meet at a Christmas convention but more on that later... This week the boys bemoan the lack of options in Dublin for entertaining the kids and it seems bringing them to a graveyard isn't going to cut it and we're all in agreement that Christmas markets suck. The conversation naturally turns to which A.I assistant would be the soundest to hang out with and Grok comes out very badly. With it being the season we hear how Joe's Moira has made some 'interesting' choices whn it comes to the kids presents prompting joe to sweep down the chimney to save the day. With the darts underway at Ally Pally we needless to say get to hear from Joe how 'easy' darts is. He's as regular as a Luke Littler triple 20 that fella.

In a follow-up to last week's unwrapping of the pod's uber listeners we hear some more startling stats from the 1% and the lads just about work out how much of their years are spent listening. A listener question leads to a wholesome discussion of who's pee would be the best to drink should the situation arise and the rancid nature of dog farts gets an airing...so to speak.

Darren is a bit under weather, but it can’t hold us back for long. Joe has had a far more serious dose, and tells us how he had to make an emergency exit from a Saw Doctors gig. There is suspicion cast on Joe’s latest tale of woe, and it’s leading to big questions about the truth of his entire back catalogue of curious misfortune. We explore the world of forgotten school lunch sandwiches and hear about Joe's hugely boring tour of a national landmark. Darren is getting brave talking about his edgy dreams, and also preparing for his role as Santa’s elf. And don’t forget to join us for our live show at Vicar Street on February 12th.
