You know we love a deep dive here, we’ve gone down the rabbit hole on JFK, the Unabomber, and all sorts so when something serious lands, we’re all over it.

We want you to get on a podcast we think you'll really be into. It's called Lines of Enquiry, a brand new GoLoud Original, and it’s proper Irish true crime. None of the mad Facebook theories, Janine from Tallaght trying to solve a 43 year old cold case in Alabama. This fella actually did the work.

John Sweetman is the host of this podcast, he is a former Garda forensic detective. He’s been at murder scenes, disappearances, the whole lot and now he’s telling the stories from the inside. The evidence, the small details, and the moments that cracked cases wide open.

It’s deadly, real stories from someone who was actually there. The first episode’s out now.... stick it on, you’ll be hooked.

Is Joe as grumpy as he seems? Or has his daily meditation/astral projection practice calmed his mind?

You could nearly believe that he's a changed man until his tirade about ketchup being childish and immature.

Darren and Joe attempt to unmask an 'anonymous' listener after their question has Darren revealing some cheeky personal details that no one really wanted or needed to know.

We are welcomed this week by Darren the bingo caller, before we get into some questionable speculation on mysterious intergalactic objects, hear about Joe giving back to the world through charitable acts, and get around to making the case for the coolness of wearing glasses.

Darren recalls one of his worst social interactions, and Joe tries to bring back an old style tip, but is quickly shut down – before we go through the recent history of religious merchandise as fashion.

This week we hear how Darren (almost kind of nearly) literally saved someone's life thanks to recent podcast with one single question.

We also get to learn some very boring facts for the next time you want to unimpress your pals down the pub.

They also get introduced to Lindaland...a strange but wondrous place where anything is possible and it wouldn't be an eiposde without a random conspiracy theory thrown into the mix.

Be warned...you'll never look at The Spire in the same way again.

The builders are at the studio doors and the drills are on full blast, with the lads gazing out at the work underway.

We somehow start off with a chat on history's most grisly serial killers and their skin lamps, and Darren shows he's not entirely against the idea of mannequin love.

Joe tries to sabotage some essential infrastructure work outside his house and we end up needing the liberal use of bleeps to cover up his wild accusations.

Eoin leaves Darren deeply wounded as he accuses him of having gone one dimensional. He also let Darren and Joe go to the official Stall It photoshoot unsupervised and now realises this was potentially a major mistake.

We discover, to nobody's surprise, that Joe is a big fan of the enhanced games and wants to see more drugs in sport - but he draws the line at robot racing.

And amidst the conversation about athletic performance Joe's marathon record is caught in the crossfire.

Have you noticed that celebrities don't use earbuds anymore? No? Well Joe has and needless to say there's a conspiracy behind it.

Also this week they get to imagine what a bus would say if it could talk (farts get mentioned naturually)and we accidentally stumble upon a previously unexplored side to 'public transport' Darren.

The animal attraction to lads wearing Snickers is investigated and it's painfully obvious Darren is living in serious denial.

Darren Conway has suddenly become a man of high stakes gambling, as he pulls off an audacious surprise party plan, with fictitious gala dinners and local community events all concocted to weave his precarious web of deception.

This leads to Joe recounting his own miserable past with surprise gifts and trips, when all he wanted was a pint with the lads.

We get a request to become the architects of a conspiracy theory, and end up going from as mundane as suspecting mechanics are scamming Joe, to claiming the flats are all part of an intergalactic Cold War plot.

And we hear the incredible tale of the man who ate a plane. A real one. Ate the whole damn thing.

We hope you're sitting down for this week's bonus because something very weird occurs. People are in agreement with one of Joe's rants! Yes his outrage over the wanton destruction of the legendary 123 bus route has struck a chord and the people will have their say. Needless to say this powerful moment descends into discussions about farting (and other bodily functions) on the bus.

A listener describes, in graphic detail, his unfortunate run in with a guinea pig in Teneriffe and Joe reveals his plan to avenge his Spice Bag Truck nemesis' plans.

We also take a trip down musical memory lane as the lads recount the glory days of the trusty MP3 player.

Darren is a newly minted fan of the NFL, and he’s got the merch to prove it, and maybe someday he’ll understand the sport too.

Joe’s trading life is laid bare, as he gets a bizarre trio of bidders on his spice bag trailer, and he also recalls his history as a street trader.

Darren calls in help to defend his claims he can cycle a bike, and Joe makes an embarrassing admission about his own life on two wheels.

Our two over-sponsored podcast hosts/comedians wonder why the mega famous are doing ads, and Joe wonders if Darren might secretly be huge in China.

And we question the need for historical exhibits about Dublin traditions that still exist very much in the present day.

Joe McGucken goes full professional talking head this week, and Darren is only too happy to wind him up and let him go.

And it all begins when one listener baits him into making the case for getting rid of traffic lights, which Joe needs no second invitation to get right on board with. It’s not long before we end up with the rules of the road being everyone gets the right of way, no buses and a city mired in chaos and confusion.

And that’s before we get to the death of the 123 bus.

The rats are back, and being given far better press than we gave them last week – although things take a somewhat sad turn. Sad and silly, and we also get some strange Michael Jackson rat trivia.
