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

Joe's struggles to finish the surfing saga as it's been too long and he can't recreate the life changing moment when he was surfing in California. They quickly move on to how a bookcase stuffed full of books makes you feel intelligent. Joe's bookcase is cluttered with untidy books much to David's disgust. They talk about what it's like to retire and being free from the daily grind at a young'ish age but Joe worries about running out of money by retiring too young. Campervanning is suggested as a perfect post-retirement activity. David's been to Totnes market and tries to tell Joe about it. The surfing ep morphs into a cosy ep.

Extra drivel today as we are joined by comedian and illustrator Henry Paker. He has a brilliant brain and is one of the Beans from the Three Bean Salad podcast. Henry did the illustrations for Joe's book 'My Autobiograpy' and is here to talk about what it was like making the book with Joe. However instead of talking about the book they reminisce about the heady days of stand-up. Henry has a lot of stories about cake, Russell Howard and comedy. When they eventually get on to the subject of the book they talk about who's name looks better on the front cover. Henry Paker's podcast is Three Bean Salad with Mike Wozniak & Benjamin Partridge. You can listen to it here (after you've listened to ours obvs) https://linktr.ee/threebeansalad Joe's book 'My Autobiograpy' is out on 9th Nov.

It's the second part of Joe's surfing story but before they pick up where they left off the lads have a little romanticise about what life would be like doing the pod if Joe was a surf dude and David was a muso tinkering with his guitar all day. Joe tells David about nervously walking along the beachfront in Carlsbad with a rolled up towel under his arm to meet Rusty who he has booked the surf lesson with. On arrival Joe's asked to change into a wetsuit which throws up loads of uncomfortable feelings and Joe secretly wishes the lesson would get cancelled as the waves are too big. As Joe enters the ocean the instructor Mark asks him if he's ever surfed before. Joe tells him no, definitely not, not even skateboarded mate, in the vague hope that he'd be impressed by how quick he picks it up. The midlife crisis has fully kicked in. Joe's about to ride his first wave - part 3 out on Thursday 2nd Nov.

It's the run up to the surf lesson: Joe's been on holiday to California and David wants to know all about it. Joe confesses he struggles to say LAX as it's embarrasing and babbles on about the Hollywood Sign, seeing Jared Leto's house and the 9 lane traffic on the freeway. Eventually they get to the meaty bit when Joe reveals he's had a surfing lesson at the end of the holiday. David is all ears. The discussion turns to mid life crisis's and Joe's surfboard being akin to David's new guitar. Joe tells David that he felt empowered having his surf lesson but now just feels embarrassed.

It’s the second part of Joe and David’s mega-chat with last week’s surprise guest Lee Mack. Picking things up again, the talk turns to game shows, Lee’s brilliant 1% Club, Joe and David’s Pyramind idea and pitching new shows. Then it’s back to sit-coms with learning lines, script read-throughs, viewing figures, the challenges of recording with a live audience and casting David as a policeman in Not Going Out. There’s also some reminiscing about the 90’s stand-up scene, Lee’s early days starting out in comedy, the pleasures of podding and bizarrely, some damaged cushions that Joe and David begrudgingly agree to replace. Part one of this Ep with Lee Mack (ep 306) released 18th Oct 2023 if you want to listen to that first !
