21 Oct 2025

Transcription

Chapter 1: What dream does David share at the beginning of the episode?

37.274 - 48.649 Joe Wilkinson

Oh, hello. I've just seen your message. How are you? Fine, how are you?

0

49.57 - 50.391 Unknown

I'm alright, yeah.

0

51.532 - 55.678 Joe Wilkinson

Yeah, what can we talk about today? I don't quite know where we can tread.

0

56.138 - 57.7 Unknown

No, I was thinking that.

0

57.72 - 61.425 Joe Wilkinson

Wow, bleep this James, but I had a dream last night.

66.535 - 68.557 David Earl

Yeah, fucking delete it from my ears.

Chapter 2: How does Joe feel about recording intros compared to the actual podcast?

71.481 - 73.643 Joe Wilkinson

I told Naomi all about it.

0

73.664 - 86.559 David Earl

Oh, flucky Naomi. I can tell you if you want. No. No. Fuck it, no.

0

88.621 - 89.522 Unknown

Weird, isn't it?

0

89.542 - 106.244 David Earl

Where's that come from? What do you feel when someone says I'm... Very nice. No, I haven't finished the question. When someone says, I dreamt about you last night, what do you immediately think? Like if I said to you, I had a dream about you last night.

0

106.264 - 107.827 Joe Wilkinson

It's a bit too intimate, don't like it.

108.829 - 110.351 David Earl

I'm sort of flattered sometimes.

111.453 - 117.805 Joe Wilkinson

Yeah, a bit flattered.

118.139 - 139.641 David Earl

I did an intro for our episode about promoting our TV show, and it's much easier on your own to say, because I went, oh, we really love doing it, and this is us trying to sell it. We're really proud of it. If we'd done the show...

140.903 - 162.138 Joe Wilkinson

If I'd done it with, I don't know, Ed Gamble and you'd done it with Jared Christmas, it would have been a completely different show. I would have been, oh, thanks, Ed. Someone steering the ship, you mean? No, just there wouldn't have been any bickering or... It just would have been a pleasant experience. Yeah.

Chapter 3: What emotional challenges did David face while filming the TV show?

205.787 - 229.933 David Earl

And you go, well, why are we doing that? Because otherwise it's all surfaced, but then it gets to the point where you go, I can't do anything. Anyway. Anyway. It's hard because all we're doing is our television show and traitors. What did you do the weekend? Oh, I'm not doing that. That's what people do. No, I know.

0

233.378 - 236.723 Joe Wilkinson

Fuck, I've got nothing to say. Shit.

0

238.807 - 264.193 David Earl

I did a 50k walk, which I can't tell you. Did you? Yeah. Why can't you talk about it? Well, because I can, but I poo-pooed your walk about eight months. Shame, isn't it? I'd guess out of a pickle. I wouldn't have got nothing to say. Fucking hell, this is bad shit. Are we going to try and get to half an hour? Is that what you're thinking?

0

264.934 - 282.72 Joe Wilkinson

I don't know. Let's give them no value. I'm sure there's stuff to talk about. Actually, can we talk about the show? Would it have gone out? Our show? Or not really? Well, our show. Well, hopefully people care, but... Oh, yeah. No, don't do that.

0

282.74 - 306.292 David Earl

I've sort of come down from it a bit. I had a few days of... Really? Like, not come down as in... But I had a few days after our show, I was like... I felt like I was in the... I was never going to mentally leave it. Why? Well, because it's quite intense, isn't it? Yeah, but in a good way or a bad way? Well, not in a bad way or a good way.

306.312 - 308.755 David Earl

I was just like, God, I'm thinking about that still a lot.

Chapter 4: How did the filming experience impact David's confidence?

309.336 - 314.022 David Earl

Oh, really? Yeah, and then I realised, like, this weekend I kind of got through it.

0

314.883 - 328.282 Joe Wilkinson

Right. I think it's a... Well, I don't know what it's going to look like. I was talking to Naomi about it going, fucking hell, because I've only ever done characters. I don't know. I'm going to really struggle watching it, like the edit.

0
0

329.347 - 342.465 Joe Wilkinson

Because I can detach myself when it's a character. Oh, God, it's going to be horrible. If you don't like me... Well, I know. You're going to fucking hate this.

0

345.669 - 361.472 David Earl

I know. What? Why? Well, this is a question for you. If there's a bit that's really good that you come across horribly, what will you think in the edit? What? So there's a bit and you go, this works really well. It's great for the show.

Chapter 5: What role does bickering play in their dynamic during the show?

362.013 - 363.375 David Earl

But you think, God.

0

363.436 - 366 Joe Wilkinson

But the viewers might go, what a horrible man.

0

367.102 - 387.962 David Earl

Yeah, or something like that. Or you just go, I do not want to be painted in that way. Well, you've got to give me an example. Did I do anything like that? No, no. But I'm thinking what you're thinking. They'd be going, I don't know, we bickered a lot. And you go, God, that might come across as really horrid in that minute, in that moment or something. And you just go.

0

388.102 - 402.638 David Earl

It's either funny or not funny. Yeah, but like. So if it's funny, keep it, if it's not. But like it's a real, say it's like you do something that's critical to the, which makes you look horrendous in your head, but it's critical to the next six funny minutes.

0

405.132 - 409.821 Joe Wilkinson

Why do you keep saying you, you do something? You do something.

409.961 - 424.288 David Earl

Well, because if I was saying me, I'd be asking me the question, wouldn't I? If I do something terrible, I'm asking your opinion first, and then I might answer it. Or I might not. Good question, right?

424.994 - 431.221 Joe Wilkinson

I'm trying to think if there's anything I did where I thought I... Let me think.

431.241 - 443.514 David Earl

I'm just saying, you don't know. There's loads of stuff, and you go, it's not really about if it is. It's like, it's what you think. You go, oh, no, I just... I looked down the lens loads.

445.656 - 448.399 Joe Wilkinson

Okay, so... I load.

Chapter 6: What insights do they share about the editing process of the show?

509.924 - 524.353 Joe Wilkinson

Documentary, isn't it? Is it a documentary? Yeah, I'd say it's a documentary. Because I've never done one before. So that first, when was the first time? No, the first time we did it was, can't mention where we were.

0

524.373 - 527.699 David Earl

And that green by that place. Yeah.

0

528.381 - 559.086 Joe Wilkinson

Which we know isn't going to get used. i i oh i don't know what to say this might be a bit boring but like lots of comedians do these kind of shows you got your whatever little documentary things little travelogues and yeah i've never done anything like this before so i found it so mental having cameras pointed and like the natural thing for me and most i think is to say surely say nothing

0

560.618 - 566.266 Joe Wilkinson

But you have to say something because you're making a TV show. Yeah, that's probably the most obvious thing.

0

566.286 - 569.03 David Earl

I think it's the most obvious thing you've ever said.

571.193 - 577.422 Joe Wilkinson

But I found that a battle and I was like, I'm not playing this game. It is a battle, yeah.

579.425 - 596.978 David Earl

It's a battle because I've had it with things you go, I don't feel comfortable. But I guess my job is to now somehow get over that. My job in this scenario is to get over that. Because we're here now. Fair?

598.281 - 613.924 Joe Wilkinson

Yeah. What was the question? But I think what I was going to say is by the end of the shoot... You couldn't stop yourself. Not that I couldn't stop myself. I didn't care. Yeah, that's probably good. Because you sort of become friends with the crew.

614.685 - 615.206 David Earl

Yeah.

Chapter 7: What recommendations do they give for other podcasts?

666.588 - 686.445 David Earl

Back and forth, back and forth, make no progress, then you go, oh, well. And it would just be... Yeah, another shit. Or just like 15 minutes of round the houses, round the houses.

0

686.986 - 701.118 Joe Wilkinson

You kind of putting it on there. I'm trying to process my... This is my morning pages. This is my morning pages. Sure. But it's a big thing for me doing that. I've done anything like this before.

0

701.239 - 714.91 David Earl

No, no. But the point you're making is you got good at it and then felt uncubbed. No, I didn't get good at it. You didn't get good at it. You could say it. You got good at it. That's your way of saying I got good at it.

0

716.746 - 722.394 Joe Wilkinson

It is. There's a difference between being a little bit, being carefree and being good.

0

722.414 - 735.571 David Earl

You got good at it, and you're saying I got comfortable as circumventing. No, I completely disagree with you. I can tell you there's a little, oh, shit. A little I've been called out.

736.192 - 747 Joe Wilkinson

You can say people who talk a lot on camera are good at it. No, they're not. They're shit. They talk too much. Get off my TV screen.

747.701 - 761.242 David Earl

That could be coming. I think you took... If this was a boxing match, you just took one to the ribs.

762.224 - 780.803 Joe Wilkinson

I took one to the ribs, but I think I gave you a lovely little punch back and knocked you on your... You stumbled back a bit then. You tried to shake it off. No, I became freer. That doesn't mean... No, I need to... I became freer. That doesn't mean I got good.

781.103 - 781.684 Unknown

This was a headshot.

Chapter 8: How do David and Joe feel about the future of their show?

793.279 - 818.696 Joe Wilkinson

There are too many carefree celebs on my TV. One got through the guard. And I did get very conscious of, oh, you're talking now, David, are you? Now we're coming to the end of the shoot.

0

818.736 - 829.768 David Earl

The old can's open. We can't stop him now. I need to get on rocky ground. I need to get on solid ground.

0

833.212 - 838.44 Joe Wilkinson

Don't you agree? Because you were carefree from the off. Now we're back.

0

838.46 - 841.604 Unknown

Oh, he's got off the ropes.

0

841.624 - 850.494 Joe Wilkinson

You can give a shit from the off.

850.514 - 874.319 David Earl

I haven't hit you with a headshot in ages. I'm coming back now. No, you're saying you're coming back. It's very different to actually coming back. David Earl is shaken. He's not recovered from... Hang on, what am I shaking about?

874.42 - 887.092 Joe Wilkinson

I said I am shaken. What is it? You said I got good. You sort of froze for a second. No, I felt like... That's not what I'm saying here.

887.112 - 891.136 David Earl

You felt shaken? Unsteady on your feet?

891.977 - 928.293 Joe Wilkinson

I felt very conscious of what... This is absolutely unbelievable. I didn't like how carefree I got. I didn't like it. I was like, oh, this is how it happens. This is how it happens. You give a comedian a little and they go, oh, I enjoyed that. Is there any more I can do? Fill my diary, you fucking knob. Jockey. He's on the ropes.
