Show Notes
We reach the critical crunch of our space odyssey, and back on our home planet we find the story of the moon landing beset by very earthly problems. Sections of an increasingly cynical and distrusting population start to question if humanity’s greatest achievement was all that was claimed, or just a big spoof. We go through the strange sequence of events & a peculiar cast of characters, who began the claim that the moon landing was a hoax. There are men smashing up their TVs and hating supermarkets, stories of astronauts hiding out in the casinos of Las Vegas, allegations the Mafia ran security for NASA, and possibly the most entertaining of all conspiracy theories – that Stanley Kubrick faked the moon landing, and secretly confessed to it in one of his most famous films. It’s the story of a conspiracy theory that begins among a strange secret society (possibly a drinking club) and then simmers on the fringes for decades until a few key events, and people, supercharge it. There are also too many snooker references. This episode was originally in one part, but our own strange sequence of events has led to us having to split it into two – all of which we try to explain.

More from Stall It with Darren and Joe
Hello everyone. Joe has a message for you all on behalf of himself and Darren. Thank you all so much for you patience, kindness and understanding.
Joe is back from his hols in Tenerife and fair to say the review score is on the lower side of the spectrum. On the plus side he did get to accidentally headbutt a seagull on the way into the recording so we get a near live report of the incident. Darren has a new air-con set up and in start contrast to the Spanish resort, it hads been a very psotive experience. Joe thinks golfing is easy and Darren is convince that with the right backing he can become a pop sensation. Send all your questions and comments to [email protected].
Let us rejoice! Darren and Joe are finally back together and this week they join forces to answer some of your incredible/weird/unsettling questions. Questions like what would the roads look like with the boys in charge? We also get the greatest opening line to an email EVER and they get to put their Man United knowledge to the test with a quiz. Send all your questions and comments to [email protected].
Now it is Joe's turn to fly solo which is timely as this week he gets free reign to launch his own airline and needless to say most of not all of his ideas would struggle to get off the ground. Drogheda gets another kicking unfortunately but he does get to wax lyrical about the attractions of Talbot St. It's Dubs Vs Culchies this week too and thanks to Producer Ed's rousing speeach about the glory of a country deli counter the batte is lost for the Jackeens.

Darren is flying solo this week but fear not there's plenty questions and answers to go around. It's birthday week and he's quick to shut down a listener suggestion of reducing to having it every five years. We get to hear about the cafe in the sky that was hoisted above Finglas in the 2000s and we get the main man's life soundtrack including some short songs for when he's...ahem...well...you know.
