Comedians Joe Wilkinson & David Earl chat utter drivel to each other 3 days a week. They natter to celebrities and deep dive into guests with interesting lives (as theirs is so boring). Occasionally they plan a surprise for each other to pep it up a bit. David loves hearing about behind the scenes stuff from TV shows and writing jingles. Joe likes adventuring and is obsessed with the podcast charts. Sometimes they'll embark on a day out podding together just so they can get out of the house. It's a brilliantly chaotic podcast which occasionally covers regular topics like TV Reviews, Snooker, Canal boating and Music.
Surprise Guest: Who is it this time?
Joe’s lined up another surprise guest for David, so he’s back in the spinny chair and really feeling the nerves again. As usual, he desperately tries to guess who it’ll be and this time, after so many failed attempts, may actually have got it right?! Stay tuned to find out who the extra special guest is - so special in fact that we had to make it a two parter.

Usual Drivel: Scams, Telly & Hiking
Joe thinks the world of scamming would be a great topic to discuss but David’s not really interest. So they quickly move onto television - programs they’ve seen recently, wanting to watch things live and struggling with too much choice. But then David remembers he hasn’t finished telling Joe about his Devon hiking holiday - and picks up where he left off last week. We may or may not get to the end of this tale…

Natalie Cassidy: Regular Guest
Our favourite national treasure Natalie Cassidy is back on the pod, but David’s had a late night and is really tired. So they kick things off chatting about napping, snoring, bed times and eye masks too. Moving on from sleep, Nat suggests a wonderful idea for a Chatabix Christmas party, tells them about a traumatic experience she had presenting This Morning, has some visitors in her garden and sends over a copy of her poem to read out at the end of the show. But that’s not before the three of them workshop a great idea for a new TV sit-com - The Blueberries.

Russell Tovey: Celeb Chataguest
Star of stage and screen Russell Tovey is today’s very special guest. Joe and David immediately take the opportunity to ask Russell how to be good at acting and he suggests all three of them have imposter syndrome. They discuss filming Him And Her, learning lines, overcoming nerves, lying on your résumé and having to have stunt double legs. They also talk about art and how to enjoy making it, which makes David awkward but Joe pulls out his parrot painting. Then Russell tells them all about his brilliant art podcast and some of his current favourite artists too.

Usual Drivel: Cornwall Step by Step
First up, David and Joe discuss how to pronounce an old friend’s surname and make an attempt to swear less on the pod. Then the chat turns to David’s recent holiday spent hiking in Cornwall with his eldest son. He recounts their journey ‘step-by-step’ from Kingsand to Mevagissey via Polperro, including all the pre-planning details and extensive list of kit he bought (and some he forgot!). Then they get a voicemail update which seems like the perfect point to end the show.

TV Joe's back: Regular Guest
It’s an explosive start to the show as David and Joe are both tired, unmotivated and moaning about their achilles tendons.

They chat with him about not exercising, matinee performances and Chatabix holograms before moving onto the main event - TV reviews, song name games and trivia quizzes! Well, that’s until David’s TV aerial man arrives and disrupts things considerably.

David's cricket adventure - part 2
Part two of an ongoing chat about David's cricket match. The chat starts with David & Joe having the realisation that in their heyday they weren't actually very good at cricket or football and they have, in fact been living in a dream. David tells Joe a bit more about his day playing cricket at The Valley Of The Rocks and how he felt donning his shin pads and going out to bat. He talks Joe through his performance on the pitch, getting recognised by the groundsman and refusing to down a 'man of the match' pint.

CANAL THURSDAY #16 The ramblings of Robin Cooper
In this comedy improv series, Joe & David are driving their fictitous narrowboat down the canal and spot an old aquaintance Robin Cooper having a picnic. They stop for a chat and immediately regret it. Mr Cooper has soooo much to tell them, all about Lilian Driftwoods mother being poisoned by black milk and the wood carving he is doing for his wife who can count to 100 and smells of beautiful damp. He fills them in on his red setter business and tells them a couple of harrowing tales about maggot stuffed meat and ants. David & Joe can't wait to get back on the boat and pootle off to the genius bar to get David's laptop fixed.
Robin Cooper is played by the brilliant Robert Popper.

Nearly forgetting the announcement
Joe & David catch up after the weekend. They discuss ring lights, lecturing in podcasting and how they would cope talking to uni students. David try's to explain about doing twitch, role playing as Brian Gittins in Grand Theft Auto and they muck about speeding up and slowing down the boring bits. They nearly forget to mention that the pod is moving to three days a week (which was the point of the ep) and honk the mole makes a surprise appearance. They talk about their artwork. Joe is reminded that he said he had farted when he was over excited about the Paul McCaffery prank. In this ep there is a surprise jingle which Joe has recorded unbeknownst to David.

David's cricket adventure - part 1
David has rekindled his love for cricket and tells Joe all about his recent game at England's most picturesque cricket ground Lynton & Lynmouth in the centre of the Valley Of The Rocks. Twenty seven minutes in he still hasn't told Joe anything about the game.

David shows Joe how to hold a cricket ball and announces that he can still catch.

Access All Areas: Blur Concert at Wembley
David and Joe managed to blag some Access All Area backstage passes to the Blur Concert at Wembley Stadium. They talk about the day and play some snippets of them exploring back stage and looking out on the arena before the crowds arrive. They feel like two dorks standing on the stage with their tiny microphones. Their new pal Steve Davis is DJ'ing so they hang out in his dressing room and have a little chat with him about being one of Blur's fluffers. Steve try's to figure out why Blur asked him to support them and they conclude it's down to the Chatabix effect.

The Deal or No Deal memorabilia arrives
Joe & David have recently bid on some Deal or No Deal memorabilia. The auction house have sent the box of goodies to David's house. David excitedly opens the box live on the pod but is a bit disappointed with the quality of the four red prop boxes and the grubby state of the crew clothing. They find a handwritten message from the auction house and then discover that the pencil drawing of the Deal Or No Deal is actually a photocopy. They decide it's all very underwhelming so talk about David's painting instead.
