Joe’s under siege from April Fools’ pranks as Moira goes all-in with fake Sky Sports headlines, while Darren admits he completely forgot April Fools’ Day and starts pitching terrible prank ideas involving fake dog poo and frozen soup.Darren gets absolutely roasted by Joe for cancelling a Vegas holiday over TikTok-fuelled fears of bombs and world war. Joe also shares how his ma quit her job so quietly the staff literally thought she died, while Darren has worries about his unsettling sleepwalking habit of lining cleaning products up in the hall.They get into Louis Theroux docs, TV shows that “jump the shark”, the reading vs watching experience, rigged raffles and Darren blagging his way into a box at the Ireland match while Joe had to watch the Ireland game through the back of ignorant people's heads.

This week in the “Church of Stall It”, the lads are answering another stealing dilemma, starting with an Elsa doll mix-up and ending up with Joe off on a full-blown rant about Disney adults robbing the magic from kids.Darren has to answer a truly grim hypothetical about how many fingers or toes he would sacrifice to get Frank back from dognappers, or whether he’d spend a whole year talking like The Monk instead.If you've any questions for the lads fire them in to [email protected]

Joe has been at the documentaries again and takes it upon himself to give a lecture on the science behind nuclear bombs which results in a debate about whether water is wet.We also get to hear about the time Joe confronts a childhood bully with suprising results and Darren (un)fondly recalls taking a smack at a bus stop.They also count the cost of those frankly hilarious animal A.I videos and they take dig out some of their favourite ads of all time.

Now that the shamrocks have been stored away for another year, Darren and Joe take a reflective look back on their own Paddy's Day 2026. Joe thought he'd sample a parade outside of Dublin and the reviews are mixed to put it mildly. Darren's was a more DIY affair on the other hand.They get to tell, for the first time, the brazen stroke they had to pull to get into the Oscar Wilde party in L.A and Joe recounts a recent an audition that has has him cringeing ever since.Oh and Darren gets caught rapid by Nidge himself.Send all your questions and comments to [email protected]

This week Darren and Joe take a walk, or rather a jump into memory lane as they revisit some of the absolutely mad/life threatening things kids used to get up to to amuse themselves back in the day. Fresh from being part of a media event they hit us with some mindblowing facts about social media before Joe reveals that Darren let rip on stage...and not in a conversational way. Darren has watched the Louis Theroux doc that everyone is talking about and they get into it about the current state of the 'Manosphere'.So all in all they go on quite the journey this week it's fair to say.Send all your questions and comments to [email protected]

The boys are back in bonus town with a fistful of mad queries from you the listener. This week they have 24 hours to survive being hunted in Dublin and somehow concoct a scenario that they're being chased by a fat zombie no less.James from Georgia is back with a particularly geeky challenge and Darren is surprisingly on board! (an excellent pun there that will make sense once you listen)Plus if you're a fasn of Christopher Walken impressions you're in for an absolute treat.If you've any questions for the lads fire them in to [email protected]

Unfortunately the lads were only able to record a bonus this week but they have ensured it's a super, extra chunky one.This week we get to learn that Darren eats cubes of mashed potatoes and Joe gives us a potted history of firearms. It also seems his ecent rant about mechanics set the wheels in motion for a listener...or not as this case may be. Ed remixes a classic radio jingle for the episode and it meets with a brutal response . If you've any questions for the lads fire them in to [email protected]

Eoin is back at the wheel this week and throwaway mention of his slow cooker sends the boys and the converstion spiralling into a juicy debate. Joe has an unlikely encounter with a tiny Trump fan but the laughter comes to an end with a tense visit to the garage to get his car fixed. Things get heated!He also has things to say to pubs charging you extra for you to pull your own pint which has them reminising on their shared early careers as loungeboys.Fair warning: Darren refers to 'doing a dookie' a lot in this episode.

Firstly our apologies for the lateness of the bonus this week but it's all Joe's fault. That's what you get when you follow an A.I diet!A listener's kindly offer to send on one of Darren's long lost movies sends the boys spiralling down a rabbit hole of video nasties from their youth, including a female Chucky Doll and a cross-over that never was. With Lent underway they decide what they could do without and poor Amy's coffe habits catch some strays in the process.If you've any questions for the lads fire them in to [email protected]

It's a crowded studio this week with both Eoin AND Ed being roped in to wrangle a recording out of the boys. Not only that but there's a random young fella in the corner which prompts Darren and Joe to get nostalgiac about their own youth with stories of Man Utd banners and accusations of pen knife theft.Joe has an absolutely disatrous run in with some 'dinosaurs' but cheers up when he gets to wax lyrical about his recent obsession with chess whilst Darren makes a shock confession about the serious lack of boardgames in his youth.Two listener warnings though: There is a truthful discussion of Santa and the willie mugs make a reapprearance.And don’t forget to join us for our live show at Vicar Street on February 12th.

Some EXCELLENT listener questions have the boys' brains working overtime this week as they get to be a fly on some very interesting walls whilst also trying to work out how to get home to Finglas whilst entirely naked. Joe unwittingly reveals his shallow attraction to rich people and poor Eoin gets grilled about his choice of breakfast.Send all of your questions and comments to [email protected]

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.

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.

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.And don’t forget to join us for our live show at Vicar Street on February 12th.

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.And don’t forget to join us for our live show at Vicar Street on February 12th.

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.Send all of your questions and comments to [email protected]

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.And don’t forget to join us for our live show at Vicar Street on February 12th.

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.Send all of your questions and comments to [email protected]

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.
