  • Bonus: Dining with Charlie Manson
    Dec 30 2024

    We decide there has been enough about Christmas and we get back to the grind with a classic would you rather – involving a very public tribute to one of the superstars of 1990s wrestling.

    And then the offer arises of a sandwich date with JFK, Charles Manson or the Pope – a trickier decision than we’d have imagined, and a slightly more predictable imagining of how it might go if Joe went for a ham and cheese sambo with Manson.

  • Bonus: Steo of Jerusalem
    Dec 25 2024

    We learn about the real Saint Stephen and his pretty grim end.

    Darren is amazed to learn there is mass on Christmas day and Joe tells us about how he once considered a life in the priesthood.

    One listener wants to know how much of Joe’s time is lost to complaining.

    We find ourselves exploring the history of capes, assessing our own cape tolerance, and discovering Darren wants to wear a cape.

  • Bonus: Scrooge McGuck
    Dec 23 2024

    Joe finds unmitigated joe in the segue of a lifetime, before he reverts to form as Christmas cheer gets on his nerve.

    Darren resolves to double down on nicotine and Joe is inspired to join him, and there’s a moment of appreciation for the magic of sliced ham.

    One listener hopes Joe finds no cheer in Christmas, but presume he doesn’t want it anyway and Joe, of course, goes on about the many miseries of the festive season, from the anxiety of the overflowing green bin to the stress of dressing.

  • Ep 186: Somebody is Watching Me
    Dec 18 2024

    We're joined once again by Terence Power of The Talking Bollox Podcast, as Darren continues his recuperation.

    It doesn't take long for Terry to get into the Stall It mindset, as we discuss a fear of interstellar jinxes, time capsules designed to cruelly fool humans of the 23rd century, unlucky numbers around the world, the science of that feeling someone is watching you, and the desire to discover another plane of existence - if only just for something to do on a dull evening.

  • Bonus: Curry Christmas ft. Terence Power
    Dec 16 2024

    It appears there is nothing sacred with Joe McGucken, as he adds the nation’s favourite annual dinner tradition to his heap of hate.

    We’re joined this week by Terence Power of the Talking Bollox Podcast, who stands in for an under the weather Darren.

    Terry gets to hear the first draft of Joe’s new musical depiction of Irish crime as we return to Gangland The Musical.

  • Ep 185: Gangland The Musical
    Dec 11 2024

    Joe is planning to turn his talents to the stage and bring us a musical tour de force set in Dublin’s gangland, but he has to fend of accusations form his podcast colleagues that this is a simple rip off of some of theatre's best know stories.

    This week we have the annual tradition of a Christmas misery from Joe, while Darren has some headaches coming his way on the wedding planning scene – and is rejecting the overtures to have it become a Stall It live show.

    Joe getting into the breakfast market, also out of spite over the absolutely most minor perceived sleight. However, Darren wants to revolutionise the breakfast scene with a highly controversial move to eradicate a staple of the traditional fry.

  • Bonus: History's Greatest Headgear
    Dec 9 2024

    Hats of historical significance catch our imagination this week, as we trawl the past for the ideal headwear.

    Joe learns he may not hate the Beatles at all, and Darren feels Spotify is lying to him (or about him).

    There’s a stark admission of just how little money there is to be had from making unloved Christmas songs, and one listener suggests a forfeit as punishment for a recent glaring oversight from Darren and Joe.

  • Ep. 184: What Did The Fox Say?
    Dec 4 2024

    You might need a strong stomach for this one as the lads go around the world to learn about some 'unusual' local delicacies including Rocky Mountain Oysters.

    Darren reveals what celebrity he spilled a pint of Guinness over and Joe admits to a particularly cruel/hilarious prank he and his mates pulled on his local barman.

    Darren lords it up in M&S and they pay their respects to the good ol' 'yellow pack' from Quinnsworth.

    Joe gets his freshly cut Christmas tree but nature boy is NOT fan of foxes and what if you were convinced everything in the world was A.I?
