136.702 - 155.75 David

And he had his headphones on because then he goes, I'm listening to it now. Wow. I'm listening to it now. And he said it quite loud because he obviously was listening to it quite loud. That must be so weird for him. That's what my friend said. That must be so weird. It must be odd for him. Yeah. Running past you when he's listening to you. Really weird.

0

155.77 - 162.339 Joe

He didn't seem that weirded out by it, actually. He just went, I'm listening to you now. Crunch, crunch.

0

163.18 - 198.592 Unknown

Anyway. Anyway. This is from Lewis and was sent in this morning. Hi, David. Hi, Joe. Joe's stance on gaming. You find gaming childish and weird. Come back to this debate when you've slain an orc, a giant, and a couple of goblins in the space of an afternoon like I have. And then you'll realise the heaps of pleasure in computer gaming.

199.213 - 199.393 David

Yeah.

199.773 - 215.792 Unknown

I am rolling in e-gold. I'm like what Ikem Barlow is to Corrie. But in the world of medieval fantasy role-playing games, Lewis, 5'1", 12 stone.

215.812 - 218.234 David

Where's this height and weight thing come from?

218.555 - 223.24 Unknown

We said, can you just give us five sort of bland...

Chapter 2: What are the pros and cons of moving to Bath from Australia?

233.219 - 234.54 David

Oh, he's fun. I like Lewis.

0

238.665 - 246.373 Unknown

Now, I've got to read this because me and Naomi have been looking at Bath again. To live? Don't worry, we're just having a nose.

0

247.153 - 251.558 David

Oh. Just having a nose. Don't worry. Oh, I'd like you to live in Bath.

0

252.219 - 269.869 Unknown

This is from Mark Davis. Moving to Bath. Crunch, crunch, David and Joe, 740 episodes. Wow. About that, no one's actually... I was cracking up at Joe moving house a whole two miles as the crow flies.

0

271.331 - 272.252 David

It's funny about that.

272.713 - 273.334 Unknown

What?

273.434 - 277.799 David

It's funny about that. Let it go. Yeah, good luck, Joe.

281.063 - 312.853 Unknown

Meanwhile, my young family and I have completely uprooted our lives and moved... wow from sunny australia to guess where bath whoa yes it's bloody lovely especially the cricket pictures pitches oh no crocodiles no snakes no sharks absolutely no spiders capable of killing a chicken in one bite Listening to Canal Thursdays while strolling the waterways has been an absolute treat.

313.314 - 341.255 Unknown

I keep hoping to spot Georgie. She'd get a nod, a crunch crunch, maybe even a quick chat about blacking the hole. or surviving the long, damp, soul-draining winters. I'm sure she'd be thrilled to meet yet another chatter fan lurking by a towpath. Anyway, loving the pod, Joe's water obsession, the canal talk, and especially the episode where you both pretended you might one day buy a narrowboat.

Chapter 3: How do David and Joe view computer gaming?

373.743 - 374.223 Unknown

Do you?

376.586 - 396.82 Unknown

Yeah, definitely. Fucking hell. Honestly, so we... Oh, it doesn't matter. No matter. Well, the next chapter of life, when my boy's growing up, we'd like, do we stay here? Mm-hmm. Or do we go to a slightly, you know, busier, that they might like growing up as teenagers?

396.84 - 398.082 David

398.146 - 406.621 Unknown

408.845 - 412.171 David

Very nice indeed. Let's go back a few months.

416.118 - 436.294 Unknown

This was sent in October. Hello, lads. Just a quick mail. I was browsing social media and came across a tabloid post about the traitors, specifically Joe. Not much to it apart from a comment someone made. I'm absolutely creasing at the thought of David's reaction to this comment and Joe's reaction to David when he reads it.

437.856 - 444.584 Unknown

And he's put, celebrity traitors stars shock after show boss... Oh, yeah, all that, yeah. Thank you for your email.

Chapter 4: What is the difference between VODing and VLODing?

512.854 - 516.097 Joe

Do I get it wrong that much? How often do we fucking talk about... Vlodding.

0

516.897 - 519.22 David

Vlodding. Is it vlodding? Vodding.

0

519.24 - 542.106 Unknown

Vodding is video and podding. Vlogging is video and blogging. Where would the L even come from? What's vlogging then? What's vlogging? Video and blogging. Like a video diary. Vodding is video and podding. What would vlodding mean? Video and lodding.

0

542.286 - 564.362 David

I don't know what vlogging is. I don't understand. How do you video? I can't give a fuck. God, it's weird. I'll tell you what is weird. When you read out Joe and then leave a beat, it's fucking horrible. I know. Where's that going?

0

574.097 - 574.678 David

How long ago?

575.333 - 599.777 Unknown

September this year. Two of my daughters are five years and five days apart. One has her birthday on the 7th of Feb, one on the 12th. If my wife or I happen to mention this to someone, typically in the context of the first half of Feb is a bit crazy because of birthdays, and they express surprise at them being close together, I take the opportunity to roll out my favorite quip.

Chapter 5: What humorous quips are shared about birthdays?

614.917 - 616.059 David

That's it. Yeah, it's good.

0

616.139 - 616.92 Unknown

It's very good.

0

617.441 - 618.362 David

Very good.

0

618.382 - 637.131 Unknown

This brings me great amusement. My wife doesn't find it as funny as I do. For the record, it's not 100% accurate as the father of three small children. This sometimes happens. Do I see it?

0

637.151 - 637.251

Yeah.

639.762 - 650.857 David

Does he put the... Or did you add that? He said, could you add the... I'd fucking love it if he had.

It's from Neil Pyle. This was sent back in the summer. Neil Pyle? Yeah. Crunch chaps, I once saw the red mist and acted upon it. Oh, great.

Chapter 6: What happened when a neighbor's car disturbed the peace?

769.389 - 777.582 Unknown

Joe. Sure, pal, what do you need? Me. Denise says you leave the car ticket going. Honestly, I'm fucking loving this.

0

778.083 - 785.835 David

Yeah, me too. I want more Red Mist stories, but then I don't know if I do. There's one of them I'll re-pick. Go on.

0

785.815 - 798.694 Unknown

Denise says you leave the car ticking over every morning. It's very loud and wakes her up and Derek, our dog, kicks off. Fucking hell, this is Joe. Fucking hell, you the cunt that went to the council.

0

801.29 - 835.383 Unknown

0

836.305 - 859.5 Unknown

Just fucking stop with the car in the morning, you prick. At this point, I walk away and Denise is still in the garden and I'm pacing the living room, blood pumping. Joe to Denise, tell that cunt if he comes back out, I'll rip his other fucking leg off. At this point, I may need to divulge the information. I'm an amputee.

860.001 - 860.761 David

Oh, my God.

861.722 - 879.279 Unknown

Denise... Fucking hell, he said that! Denise passes on Joe's last correspondence. I see the red mist. Next thing I know, I have Dave in a headlock. LAUGHTER And I've got a couple of punches in before another neighbour pulls me off. I broke two knuckles on his head.

879.7 - 882.242

LAUGHTER

882.745 - 901.953 Unknown

He came over about 20 minutes later, still bleeding on the arm, eyes starting to swirl and apologized. He stopped with the car. Relations are still frosty, but we're on nodding terms. Fucking hell. Wow. Great.

Chapter 7: How did the hosts respond to a listener's red mist story?

1000.973 - 1032.294 Unknown

Okay, here we go. This is from Joe. Wow. 20th of December last year. Hi, guys. Long time Chatterbiscuit and patron here. Ever since your episode a few weeks ago about the book of quips, I've started to wonder whether I quip. I've realized that I do a lot. I'm not sure I did in my pre-Chatterbix life. An example of one is from just now. I dropped my car into the garage for its service.

0

1032.635 - 1046.673 Unknown

About six or seven mechanics were still in a circle in reception. They waved me in, and what I assume is the lead mechanic behind the desk said, don't worry, I'm just telling them off again. To which I responded, what do you reckon he said? It's as bad as it gets.

0

1047.214 - 1049.037 David

Are you going to spank him or something?

0

1050.539 - 1075.744 Unknown

Oh, God, not again. So he said, don't worry, come in. I'm just telling them off again. To which I responded, oh God, not again. Do you know what? I might say that. What? I might say that in the moment. Well, you'd say again. You'd repeat again.

0

1076.044 - 1093.989 David

Yeah, because let me explain what's happening there. He's quipping. Here we go. What's happening there is he's quipping. So there's this sort of light heartedness. And then to join in the overwhelming need to join in, you'd go, well, not again. And then it'd be like, I can see it.

1094.23 - 1101.058 Unknown

What would you say? Don't worry. I could imagine saying it was my point. Don't worry, come in, I'm just telling him off again.

1101.078 - 1102.199 David

Because he's being jokey.

1102.219 - 1103.24 Unknown

I think he's a bit classier.

1104.141 - 1107.484 David

No, I'm telling you, I can see myself doing the same thing.

Chapter 8: What special tribute is made for Adam in this episode?

1107.544 - 1116.932 David

He's already quit joking. Oh, not again, because it's like there's a bunch of adults being told off. Yeah. I can see it.

0

1117.393 - 1127.622 Unknown

If you were on like, I can't think of the word. If you were on fire, sorry, what might you say? Don't worry, come in, I'm just telling him off again.

0

1129.694 - 1142.695 David

I've got literally nothing. I can't win here. Well, it's hard, isn't it? Because he's already sort of half quipped.

0

1143.096 - 1145.44 Unknown

Do you know, I think I would have said, oh, God, not again.

0

1145.68 - 1147.503 David

Yeah.

1147.523 - 1150.809 Unknown

Sounds about right.

1150.829 - 1174.182 David

Yeah, you're joining in. You're telling him, I'm enjoying your quip. That's the purpose. It's basically saying... See, you do know a lot about quips. You've just... I've just won you over. You have. Even when I think I'm not good, I'm good.

1176.385 - 1178.989 Unknown

Don't worry. Come in. I'm just telling you off again.

1179.374 - 1180.055 David

Not again.
