Keep It Light Media / Big Oval Plate
Comedians Joe Wilkinson & David Earl chat utter drivel to each other 3 - 5 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.

S13 Ep 707: The Inspector Lynley Mark Bonnar Preamble Pt 2
Following on from yesterday’s episode - and in preparation for their upcoming chat with Mark Bonnar about it - here’s yet more analysis of David’s performance on the Inspector Lynley Mysteries set. Just how god damn bad was he?! Plus, there’s talk about David’s sacking from Spoons, Joe’s first acting job on Him And Her and what it would be like to audition for Holby City.

S13 Ep 706: The Inspector Lynley Mark Bonnar Preamble Pt 1
It’s recently come to light that the wonderful actor Mark Bonnar appeared alongside David in his infamous Inspector Lynley Mysteries scene. So Joe, being a friend of Marks, has asked him to come on the pod to give his impression of how David behaved on the day. Was he really as nervous, time-waisting and rubbish at acting as David believes? The only problem is that Mark’s suddenly had to cancel and re-schedule the chat. So Joe and David take the opportunity to have a deep-dive into the whole Inspector Lynley experience - so much so that they had to make this episode a 2-parter. Part two coming tomorrow… Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

S13 Ep 705: The Old Man on Dartmoor and Celebrating London
David kicks things off by telling Joe about the lovely old man he met walking on Dartmoor the other day. But also how the man thought David was about 57, which didn’t go down so well. This leads both David and Joe to talking about their aging and looking older too. Then it’s onto old jobs and the time David worked as a runner in Soho - and how David really does’t like London. So there’s lots of chat about David’s many issues with the city and how he was pretty scared of Plumstead when he lived there. But eventually, after talking through the pros and cons, both of them realise that they actually quite like London and decide to celebrate it instead. Well, celebrate bits of it at least.

S13 Ep 704 Vault Mondays: Deleted Files and Believe
An archive show for the Chatabix diehards out there. In this one, the recording went wrong and so we got ready for work whilst playing a song called Believe from 1991. Congratulations if you make it to the end.

S13 Ep 703 Listener’s Mailbag: A Cross Cleaner and Bus Driver Quips
In today’s Mailbag we have messages about a Chatabiscuit boyfriend, lots more funny names, getting told off by a no-nonsense cleaner at work, cheeky house viewings (from the owner's perspective), a pretty lame dating prank and a collection of superb pre-prepared quips used by a bus driver. Lovey stuff!

S13 Ep 702: Reading Out Our Spotify Reviews
Well this episode does exactly what it says on the tin. After a message about them from one of our Patreons, David’s decided he wants to use today’s show to read out some of the less than positive Chatabix reviews left on Spotify. And some nice ones too, of course. Joe’s not 100% sure it’s a good idea to do it on the pod - but is intrigued enough to give it a go. So settle in for half an hour of listener’s moans, compliments and complaints - it’s like Points Of View for podcasting.

S13 Ep 701: Filming Nerves and Grand Designs
There’s lots to get through on today’s jam-packed episode. Firstly, Joe and David are starting filming on a new project tomorrow and David’s beginning to feel very anxious about it. Meanwhile, Joe was asked a pretty big favour from someone he doesn’t really know and is now feeling resentful about it. Then David reveals that over the weekend he met a man at the beach who he really got on with - and was then quickly dumped by him. Also, David has finally watched an episode of Grand Designs so he and Joe can now discuss the show and there’s some more chat about weed smoking.

S13 Ep 700: More House Viewings and Not Being Ladish
David’s been up to his sneaky house-viewing tricks again - and this time, he and Naomi loved the house and also the old couple who owned it. So Joe grills him once more about the what and why of it all and David ponders how big the decisions are when trying to find a new house. Then Joe wants to tell David about a really ‘laddie’ environment he found himself in recently and that even though he found it quite uncomfortable, he was determined not to join in. He reckons it’s a new-found confidence since turning 50.

It’s Friday, so it’s gotta be Mailbag time. And this week we read messages about an inconveniently named sex shop, some love from Switzerland, a very experienced weed-smoker, some great info about Blue Plaques, a very unconventional house sale, a selection of dog walking quips, a groom’s speech joke query and an anti-littering convert.
