Would it make the news if Darren was assassinated in the studio? How big would his funeral be? Would al of Finglas weep for their loss? Would influencers take over the ceremony?Would Joe climbing Mount Everest make the news? Is oxygen while climbing the world's tallest peak little more than modern day softness?The comments section on the podcast has taken off in popularity, and to reward that newfound engagement we're going to field some of them. Darren takes great offence to one that comes after his driving skill.We wander into a cul de sac of researching cannibalism through the ages, from humans to animals – and Joe is accusing all animals of being guilty of the worst of behaviour.That leads us to hearing about the youngest rulers of empires throughout history, some tyrannical, some hysterical and (somehow) we end up fact checking if there were sharks in the colosseum.Joe has been delving into the deepest waters of trash reality TV once again, and once again brings us his personal review of his latest obsession – this time it's on a boat, with ignorant millionaires berating a hard working crew.Darren announces his retirement from the vlogging circuit, to great public despair.And we wonder if it is illegal to watch porn in a pub, or just hugely frowned upon.Please send all of your comments, questions and deep dive suggestions to us at stallit@goloudnow.com

EasyGo, Ireland's leading EV charging network, has partnered with the Department of Transport to launch a first-of-its-kind national pilot scheme aimed at removing one of the biggest barriers to electric vehicle adoption in Ireland. The Shared Charging Initiative will address the challenge faced by many urban and suburban residents who lack access to off-street EV parking and, by extension, home charging. Through the scheme, homeowners can share their private EV chargers with neighbours and the wider public via the EasyGo platform - creating a shared, community-powered solution to charging accessibility that is both practical and accessible. The scheme will launch as a pilot in selected locations, with participation open to homeowners in Kilcock, Co. Kildare; Dingle, Co. Kerry; and the Dublin neighbourhoods of Finglas, Stoneybatter and Phibsborough. Those interested in participating in Shared Charging can apply through the website, with consideration being given to their property and location. If successful, participants are provided with an EasyGo EV charger free of charge and can then share access to their private EV chargers with neighbours and members of the public via the EasyGo platform, providing a practical solution in areas where off-street parking is limited or unavailable. The pilot will continue throughout 2025 and aims to gather valuable data to inform future EV policy and infrastructure planning. Shared charging models have shown promise internationally in helping reduce pressure on public networks, promoting sustainable transport, and strengthening local community ties. Ollie Chatten, CEO of EasyGo, said: "We are delighted to officially launch the Shared Charging Initiative. This scheme has the power to reshape how communities think about EV infrastructure, enabling people to participate directly in Ireland's low-emission future. It's a meaningful step toward inclusive, scalable charging access." Welcoming the rollout of the pilot scheme, Minister for Transport Darragh O'Brien, Minister for the Transport, said: "This innovative pilot reflects how local action can support national ambition. By enabling homeowners to share access to EV chargers, the Shared Charging Scheme taps into the power of the community to close infrastructure gaps, accelerate EV adoption, and help achieve our climate goals. It's a practical, inclusive, and forward-thinking initiative that strengthens the resilience and accessibility of Ireland's charging network."
