753.653 - 757.118 David Earl

Who cares? Five times. And I'm always positive.

757.138 - 759.341 Joe Wilkinson

I'm like, people love your laugh, love your giggle.

759.361 - 762.166 David Earl

This is fucking new to me, David, so this is nonsense.

762.386 - 770.858 Joe Wilkinson

All right. Oh, I won't, but I saw some comments on Instagram last week. Someone said, oh, I love Joe's laugh.

Chapter 4: What humorous anecdotes arise from David's experiences with gardening?

958.801 - 961.105 David Earl

No, give me the background. So you're in Handcross?

0

963.128 - 983.239 Joe Wilkinson

I'm in Handcross, heading towards Horsham, and I just saw this sign in the Laurel hedge. Oh, my God. And I'd completely forgotten about this client. Now, this client... God, sounds like there's a bad story. Was a regular. Was a regular. Was a regular.

983.438 - 1003.962 Joe Wilkinson

yeah well they're all well yeah but i didn't know what to say but i i'd had it i had he i had him for three or four years so this is like every wednesday bang you do two hours how much did he pay you 30 quid 15 quid an hour

1004.6 - 1036.387 Joe Wilkinson

bosh every wednesday cashing out yeah i mean i might have driven from herspear point to do that so that's a five a gun that's a point i hadn't crossed is it therefore well maybe i'm ramping up for the pod stupid ramp But I guess why I got excited, why I wanted to record it, is because I'd completely forgotten about this client. And this was like a regular.

1037.869 - 1041.474 Joe Wilkinson

I suddenly thought, this is so boring for me.

1042.655 - 1049.744 David Earl

Well, do you know what I was thinking? I wonder if people have saved it. I might save this for when I'm more awake.

Chapter 5: What insights do they share about podcasting and award competitions?

1319.176 - 1326.886 David Earl

Yeah, like... Okay, so once you've raked, we're going to do the roses here. All you have to do is prune these or whatever.

0

1326.906 - 1331.131 Joe Wilkinson

Yeah, I didn't even think about it. Yeah, I should have, yeah.

0

1331.491 - 1342.305 David Earl

Shadowed someone for six months. Yeah, then my wings would have... Yeah, and you go, okay, so now we've raked, what do we do? They don't just say rake until you've run out of time.

0

1344.648 - 1347.533 Joe Wilkinson

Honestly, I did so much of that raking.

0

1347.954 - 1358.452 David Earl

I used to have... When I worked in a shop and stuff, there was loads of stuff I didn't... Or behind a bar, there was loads of stuff I didn't know and lived in fear of it happening.

1358.973 - 1359.995 Joe Wilkinson

Or being asked to do it.

1360.075 - 1366.386 David Earl

Yeah, like someone paying by American Express or something. Wow. I'd be like...

1366.366 - 1393.47 David Earl

but I was on my own you know what I mean like sitting there going looking back I'd have just gone Mavis how did I do on my express yeah but I sat there going Mavis there's a few Mavises in the pub in a shop I used to work in a shop oh right yeah and like a bar you know there'd be like loads of drinks up there I don't know what any of those are I still don't someone ask can I get a Cointreau and go oh fucking hell what's that

1393.788 - 1406.522 Joe Wilkinson

Well, I think it took balls for you to actually do it because that fear that you've had stopped me from getting bar jobs. Those bottles of drinks. You used to put the fear of God in me.

Chapter 6: How do David and Joe discuss the dynamics of fame and recognition?

1658.312 - 1688.078 Joe Wilkinson

Obviously back in the day, you know, the newspapers had a little bit of weight about them. Were you tinkering with ideas as you were raking? Well, I just remember thinking goodbye. Goodbye to this job and everything else. And I suppose it was in a way, but that absolutely blew my mind. Fucking hell, someone's snipped out my outline. Stuffed it next to our moment.

0

1688.098 - 1694.008 David Earl

Yeah, it was stuffed. There's about nine of us.

0

1694.028 - 1724.064 Joe Wilkinson

But it was an amazing feeling. Anyway, it's just one of those feelings. Have you ever had a feeling right in? If you have had a feeling where you go, I think that might be life-changing. No, it wasn't life-changing, nothing. Yeah, that is quite... Yeah, just a dude in Hank Cross, and this guy sold seaweed or something as a... Well, I'm married.

0
0

1729.837 - 1738.304 Joe Wilkinson

It's sold like algae. It's like this guy who I work for, like a supplement. Oh, right. I don't think he liked me. I think he could see through my raking.

1738.464 - 1768.128 David Earl

Fucking hell, this is twisty, this bit. I thought we were talking about the garden. A twisty puff. A twisty puff through the anecdote forest. I was talking about Al Murray. I've got you and Al Murray in my head, and then you go, I think he sold seaweed. Al Murray sold seaweed. Just imagine Al Murray selling seaweed and then he sees himself on the front of the car.

1769.331 - 1771.316 Joe Wilkinson

It's like algae or something.

1771.376 - 1773.02 David Earl

Fucking hell, he's got it.

1773.04 - 1794.475 Joe Wilkinson

He had pots and pots of it in his flat. What are you talking about? Who? The guy who employed me to rake his drive. I thought he had a massive house. He didn't have a flat. No, it's like a country house that was into ten flats. Right. Well, I didn't know that. Well, no, it says it if you listen closely to the audio.

Chapter 7: What reflections do David and Joe have about their careers and personal growth?

2048.241 - 2075.929 David Earl

So, like, I have, like... My brother's like, can't get his head around it anyway. Right. I couldn't get my head around it either. And then it was the end of the day, and he was going off, and I was waving him off. And then there was a car to drive me home, which I got in, and he came back to say something to me. Because I hadn't got in the car yet. I said, I don't really want to see him.

0

2076.309 - 2108.328 David Earl

I don't want him to see me getting in the car. And then he came back as I was getting in the car. And he went, he went, is this car for you? And I went, yeah. And he went, all right. I say, you go to mum's on Saturday. And I was taking a fucking car. And I was like. Yeah, he goes, what time are you getting there? I remember it so clearly. I'm sat feeling like nude.

0

2108.749 - 2138.937 David Earl

I just sat there like that, looking after my brother like that, like leaning into this car. And he's like, what time are you getting over there? I don't know, about half twelve. All right. And then he said, did you wait to get in here? So I wouldn't see. Yeah. And I went, yeah. And he went, so clearly, he sort of laughed, but we sort of released some of the tension for me a bit.

0

2139.458 - 2140.36 Joe Wilkinson

Yeah.

0

2140.38 - 2168.153 David Earl

But I just had, I remember it so clearly because I felt so, I don't know, like, but then sometimes I get, I hate it when I get in the car like it's normal. You know when you get to work, you go, your car's here. Thanks. And they get in and they're like, don't react like that's normal. Oh, fucking hell. So right. Do you know what? James Gill sent me a message yesterday.

2168.233 - 2198.442 David Earl

We text about football pods. And he said one of the pods was talking about cabs that are uncomfortable and how unrelatable the pod was. and we thought up bringing tea having been bringing tea to us what do you think when they go when you finish you know when you finish the filming last week and there was a car to take you somewhere how do you feel about that

2199.046 - 2206.499 Joe Wilkinson

Well, that's the worrying thing, just saying I didn't give it a second thought.

2206.519 - 2230.185 David Earl

Get this precious cargo into a warm hotel that he hasn't paid for. Make sure he's watered, fed and ready to perform the next day. By the way, you started it. Oh, God. Yeah. You having a mini meltdown?

2230.206 - 2235.017 Joe Wilkinson

No, I'm just trying to work out what I feel. Just trying to work out what I feel.

Chapter 8: How does the episode conclude with thoughts on friendship and support?

2377.605 - 2379.527 Joe Wilkinson

Do they? I don't know if they do, do they?

0

2379.878 - 2385.483 David Earl

Well, I think, you know, if your exec happens to be, I don't know. That's the worst fucking job.
