One of our listeners treats us to a particularly cinematic gift this week, which somehow leads to Joe making big claims about cloning, and Darren telling tall tales about tractors. The lads are introduced to a new geographical term, and an education on the history of Ireland's most famous graveyard. We have questions about quizzes, and urban legends about gameshow mishaps. And a listener comes for Joe over a big, and seemingly inaccurate, claim he made about a very significant foodstuff.

Darren Conway and Joe McGucken present Stall It. What's it about? What isn't it about. Two lads from Dublin, one mic. A load of shite talk, the odd sketch. It’s alright, I suppose. Anyways how’s your ma, is your da workin?

Comedy

We resume normal business with several issues to iron out. Joe has been making more big claims that need to be contested, but somehow Darren has managed to upset Eoin to the point Joe is now off the hook. As Joe’s food truck empire grows at a staggering rate Darren reveals he’s been holding out on sharing a secret family recipe for curry sauce. We weigh up the pros and cons of joint weddings, from sharing fireworks to who has to sit in the front seat in the wedding car. Darren has started a new habit of walking that’s entertaining nobody, while Joe has finally found a source of cringe that’s too much even for him – in the surprisingly complex world of hardcore cosplay from 19th century France.

Ep 148: The Fetes Galantes Lads

Joe's stomach is rumbling again and it's becoming a bone of contention in the studio, There's also a lot of fish talk - probably too much - as we return to your queries.  One listener has been trawling through the archives and spotted a serious inconsistency in one of Joe's stories, while another has the lads giving fairly predictable answers to which is their favourite planet. A listener has a suggestion for a charity event that will put Joe's latest big talk to the test, very publicly. And we weigh up some eternal states of mild discomfort.

Bonus: Everybody Loves Ray

Is any man truly beautiful?  Is Darren Conway a perfect example of God's handiwork, or a distant second to Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham?  Joe sees deception everywhere and argues that all beauty in the male form is in fact faked, particularly when it comes to Jude. Darren has been helping to hang tellys and worries he might have left a ticking time bomb clinging on to some plaster board, while Joe's attempts at DIY have left an entire family afraid to put their toothbrushes in their bathroom cabinet. And there's a debate on authenticity in life and sport, with Darren leaning towards the hipsters and their instagramable pizza, while Joe wants something that bit more real from his existence.

Ep 147: A Perfect 5

As Joe's venture into the world of hospitality looms large, there's only one question on everyone's mind - Will he accept tips?  The lads consider where they'd hide if they were the subjects of a nationwide manhunt, and Darren reveals his reluctance to leave Dublin, even at the expense of his own life. Joe once again claims he'd last in a UFC fight by running laps of the ring, and they both make quick work of a question about the ideal ratio for hot drinks, and berate the dreaded watery handshake.

Bonus: A Watery Handshake

We weigh up the best technology to bring with us the stone age, and hear Joe’s take on a particular period in history as he lays out some theories of mushroom inspired communication from the past.  Darren gets an education on the powers of various saints, and picks his own favourite from the canonised crowd.  There is a twist in the tale of the now, partially hostage, food truck, and we at long last get the big reveal of what Joe will be selling on his path to becoming a fast food magnate.  Meanwhile, Darren’s patenting a very particular kind of cheese, and all of this food business has turned Joe into a real man.  And there’s animal talk, from cursing parrots, to cuddly peacocks, and foxes with the zoomies.
