S13 Ep 659 Vault Mondays: Working Out Our Roles On The Podcast

David & Joe are struggling to come up with new drivel so after discussing if Chatabix would send you to sleep on the morning commute they resume listing comedians names from the Chortle website. David starts reading names beginning with the letter G. Joe has to answer yes or no if he knows them and tell David an anecdote. Joe tries to think of one piece of information for each comedian including Imran Yusuf's dinosaur impression. Continuing on with the letter J, Jamie Demetriou get's a drum roll. There are lots of comedians starting with J, they power through until Joe gives up the will to live.

It's the final round of the Battle of the Chatabands. Joe, David & Steve review three songs chosen at random and give them a score. The song with the highest score goes through to the final. The three of them are not enjoying their new found roles as music reviewers and worry they are being judged for their musical opinions. Joe wants to hear something that sounds like Looking For Linda and David favours a punk tune. They struggle to find something that makes them tingle until they listen to the final song.

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.

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.

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.

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 ?
