It's the last episode for 2023 and David and Joe are having a christmas party with regular guests Andy Goldstein, Natalie Cassidy, 'Deal or No Deal Saga' Paul Gorton, music reviewer Steve Baker, gigging diaries Rosie, TV Joe and editor James. Joe has bought them all presents to open on the pod but unfortunately not all of them have arrived on time. They try to persuade Nat's husband to do a magic trick but he's not having it. TV Joe hosts a few rounds of Name That Tune but is struggling with a festive hangover. It descends into chaos. David decides to get a patreon on (who goes by the name of Big Bum) at the end. Ho ho ho.

Specialist guest George Aitken was in the Royal Navy Submarines for 10 years. David & Joe have a thousand questions for him but start with small talk about coming from the Isle Of Wight, filming in Lymington and Howards Way. David gets claustrophobia and wants to know about people who have lost their minds on board, how much space he'd have down there and what would happen if he had a panic attack. George tells them there are 100 or more crew living in a confined space and it can get a bit stinky. Joe reckons he would be fine living in a tube underwater as it would be cosy. They talk about stalking other submarines to gain intel and using mini subs to get to the surface to undertake secret missions James Bond style. David asks if they've ever come across an unidentified mass on the sonar. George says this is usually a whale or a giant squid mating with the submarine. Joe asks if there is any truth behind the saying of having a girl in every port.

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.
