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.

S9 Ep 328 Where's Joe Now - Underground bunkers at Coleshill House
We're back talking to WW2 Historian Andrew Chatterton who first came on the pod in August 2023 to tell David & Joe all about Britains secret defences. This time he takes Joe on a fascinating field trip to Coleshill House, HQ for the Auxiliary Units. It was here the secret resistance learnt how to assasinate people and blow things up. Andrew shows them a disguised chicken shed with a false wall and an upside down horse shoe used as a secret signal. Joe get's to explore an underground bunker and crawl through an escape tunnel while David (who's feeling poorly) watches the excitement unfold on zoom.

S9 Ep326 Usual Drivel - Not one but two Chrissy songs
In today's ep we play not one but two Christmas songs we've written for the festive season. David reads out all the names of the Patrons who recorded lyrics for the backing vocals. David & Joe realise they wouldn't cope well without their wives so they call them in to tell them they love them. Petra & Naomi are a bit bemused. David reads out some comments which he's seen on social media about not finishing anything and talking over guests. They talk about getting reviews, Chortle forums and if they're comfortable being podcasters. They play the first christmas song then wonder how they can add some zest to the ep. Joe offers to drive around Brighton pointing out stuff. They play the second christmas song which Joe wrote in a blind panic when he thought the first song couldn't go out.

S9 Ep 325: Battle Of The Chatabands - Round 2
It's the 2nd round in the Battle of The Chatabands when David, Joe and music producer Steve Baker score three songs out of 10. David is feeling really uncomfortable in his role as a music reviewer. Steve kicks off by telling Joe that Roachford is playing in Brighton. They listen to each song in turn giving their opinion on each one. Joe thinks the first song is grungy, Steve thinks it has high energy while David struggles to review it as feels like a pratt. Joe thinks he loves the 2nd song. David tries to talk him out of liking it despite liking it himself and it reminding him of Biff Bang Pow. Steve agrees with Joe. Scores on the doors Joe gives 7.5, David gives an 8, Steve also gives an 8. David decides he's a punk as the final song sounds like the Pogues. Steve enjoyed it and Joe imagines listening to it in a seafaring pub in Ventnor. Steve reads out the final scores. Which one will be going through to the final ?

They tell the lads about booking the London Palladium on a whim for their podcast live. David & Joe tell them about wanting to do a ladies night for a Chatabix Live but Luisa doen't think this is a good business model considering the demographic.

S9 Ep 323: Utter Drivel - Choccies, going on Off Menu Live & the Postman
Joe & David are eating chocolates for breakfast. David asks Joe if he's been surfing on the board he bought him and suggests sending it back if he hasn't. Joe's a guest on Off Menu Live and they discuss how Joe's feeling about it. They plan doing a 'Where's Joe Now' style recording before the show. David wants to watch Joe from the sidelines as he enters the stage but Joe's not keen, he's feeling stressed about the night and David's not helping. They reminisce about old comedy venues where they've both done stand up together. The postman walks in with a package. It's the new Chatabix caps ! David's wife Naomi has had a word with the Postman about not walking in when David's podding. It seems to have fallen on deaf ears. David forgets to get Ethan Lawrence on the pod so plug Ethan's new drama 'Boat Story' instead.

Customer Reviews
Every Episode Makes Me Laugh
At first glance a wonderful journey as two comedians/actors/writers pick at each other’s insecurities. But it’s so much more: celeb guests from the worlds of comedy, film/TV and music, and specialist guests from all walks of life. A unique blend of laughter and insight.
Polperro 😍
I’ve listened to that episode so many times, I almost have it memorized. It helps me fall asleep at night. I could listen to you two talk about Cornwall all day. Please do more! Crunch crunch.
These are my boys.
Not a huge podcast listener, but when I do, these are the boys I listen to. Very easy-going, enjoyable, at times hilarious listen to just relax your mind and have a laugh.
Lads, you need to get a Paul Gordon series and string them together. This is a pod in and of itself. And are we going to actually get to see the video posted somewhere?
I sit with bated breath waiting for the next deal or no deal episode
