Ep 15: Knick-Knacks, Psychic Chats and the Animal Afterlife

Joe is worried about the mental health of artificial intelligence, Darren has unraveled a major conspiracy around his upcoming birthday, and Joe is feeling left out and a little unsettled by a new casual uniform rapidly taking over the GoLoud offices.

Questions about potential crisp flavours take on national importance as the lads wrestle with the great opportunity and responsibility of leading a revolution in snacking. And there's a bold new suggestion for the future moral arc of a key figure in the Stall It Universe.

Darren took to the roof of Croke Park for a charity abseil and the only thing scarier than the drop was the fear that somebody might not like him - and that lays bare a key difference between the personalities of our two hosts. In other news, Joe is worries about the slide into a surveillance society and the danger of his whole life ending up on the cloud. Meanwhile, Darren faces a complex washing machine challenge this week and it leads to an unpleasant encounter at the laundrette, which has the lads wondering how they can help when they see someone being attacked in public.

The contrasting fortunes of pirates and pigeons are up for debate, while Joe has stories of handing over cash on a fork, and there's a decision to be made if the lads want to live the life of a benevolent medium or an inescapable existence as Dublin's Dr Dolittle.

Joe brings us inside the mysterious and fascinating world of big money pigeon racing, Darren puts his knowledge of Irish rural life to the test, there's a Jaws retrospective, and considerations for the fate of podcasters in the end times.
