Darren feels under attack from the listeners and we have responded by caving to pressure. And so we are bringing you our longest ever bonus episode. Are we intentionally dragging it out? We absolutely are.

We wonder about the longest songs, podcasts and other examples of people taking far too long to get to the point, as we take a very long to get to the point, and all just to make a point.

There’s chat about eggs for breakfast, a claim Darren is the celebrity grim reaper, and one listener wonders if Joe and Darren might take on the work of doing a deep dive episode, which leads us to wonder if we could sit through Joe’s version of history. And an awful lot more, because we have a lot of time to fill. We hope you don’t have to be anywhere in a hurry.

Joe battles with an old foe this week, as Darren wrestles with adjusting to a whole new level of fame.

We get to hear Joe’s latest conspiracy theory, this one is about the trains and it goes all the way to the top (apparently).

Darren’s wondering how he can embrace global fame and still be seen as an ordinary man, and we wonder just how many people around the globe have seen his face.

We consider a Face/Off style situation, with Joe taking over Darren’s life for a week with the goal of supercharging his career with some shameless networking.

And we look back at our sporting histories, from kids karate to underage football.

Daren encourages us to dive into a full episode of funny sounds and theme song games.

Darren thinks he can make a snack box, but not a chicken ball.

A listener’s sighting of a stuck truck causing chaos has us remembering our own excruciating public humiliations, from Darren being trapped in a lift to Joe finding himself in a traffic standoff.

We get a real insight into the lifestyles of the internet famous this week as Joe and Darren give us a behind the scenes look into two very different events they were invited to with two very different results.

Joe gets snared wearing a Liverpool jersey by some eagle eyed lisnteners and his excuse has him sweating...quite litereally.

We discover one of Joe's ancenstors could have been a baseball player and Darren has an outrageous invasion of privacy issue whilst out eating Thai food.

Quite an eggy feel to this week's episode as the lads choose who they would want to mind them if they were both, well, eggs and we all know and love our George Foreman Grills but would you take a chance on a McGuckian Egg Steamer?

Joes is FINALLY impressed by someone's achievement and we all find out where Hot Dogs got their name.

Did you know before The 'Coldplay Incident' there was similar scandal to be had in Lough Derg? Joe has the skinny on the scandal that rocked the holy retreat to its foundations.

Darren has his own celebrity scoop about his encounter with his new bestie Robert Sheehan by way of PJ Gannagher's gaff and thibngs end on a sour note, literally, as we are 'treated' to the boys' new improvised pod theme songs.

Fair warning....they are NOT good.

Things get off to a rocky start as Darren's voice seems to break 'live' in studio but he recovers quickly before getting into a philosophical discussion with Joe about the negativity of news and Joe throws out a trademark theory on whether happiness even EXISTS!!

They also get to choose a new Olympic sport and things get tense as Darren reveals he doesn't know what Subbuteo is.

IMAGINE!

Darren finds himself lavished in praise following his stand up set before a sold out theatre.

Joe tells us of being struck by a car on his scooter, and the ensuing nightmares he had getting medical help, but it won't stop him concocting some money making schemes to turn a quick buck from All Ireland final day.

All that plus the science of how music makes you but more.

In the absence of 'Hollywood' Joe, this week Darren is joined by Ger who takes the throne only to be pummeled by questions and theories about lead poisoned serial killers, extreme ironing and getting de-pantsed by a border terrier.

Poor Ger.

Joe is infuriated by people taking offense on behalf of sharks, and he (really) flies a plane.

Darren remembers the scourge of pocket money jealousy and his many fleeting careers, from work experience in Dunnes to holding signs for furniture shops.

Joe exploits a bat encounter for online kudos and somehow that leads us to learn of an ant apocalypse, while Darren stands up for trees and tree stumps. We also learn a genuinely life altering fact about the animal kingdom, and dispel a myth we had all believed until now.

Darren’s colourful past in the world of music videos is revealed, and he continues his mission to fall out with everyone in the Irish music industry – while also continuing to try to track down Robert Sheehan.
