S15 Ep 780 Listener’s Mailbag: Jason Orange and Dad Jokes

Both Joe and David have nasty colds at the moment and feeling pretty rubbish. So they kick things off by discussing their illnesses, taking sickies, joe’s tactics for getting more holiday days at his old job and what it means to be a sociopath. Then, after wondering why they bother podding when ill, Joe challenges David to make the episode a double bubble. So they plough on with the chat - part two will be coming to you tomorrow.  Apologies for all the coughing and sniffing!

Delving into the Mailbag once again, we read messages about one of David’s old bosses (which leads to a lot of reminiscing about previous jobs), a Norwegian cigarette quip, a Joe look-a-like (followed by even more digressions) and a litter vigilante video.

It’s the second part of our birthday double bubble episode, in honour of Joe’s 51st birthday. So following on from yesterday’s show, David and Joe discuss some of their insecurities about the pod, wonder why they’re getting fewer abusive comments, almost tell a new anecdote and finally realise why people continue listening to all this drivel. Then in an expositive finale, David reads some old tax returns and Joe digs out his gigging diary from 2011 for a reminisce. Happy birthday Joe!

Well, it’s the last of our trilogy of episodes discussing David’s recent work trips to London. And it’s turned out to be a right roller coster of emotions as this morning he’s feeling very upbeat about the city and making the most of being there. So much so that yesterday afternoon he took the opportunity to visit his agent, killed time by looking into lots of restaurant windows and almost treated himself to a cocktail in his hotel bar. Then to end the day, he really enjoyed watching Take That's Circus tour in his room - and is now wondering if he and Joe might be able to become their fiends?

After yesterday’s recounting of his previous trip, David is swiftly back up in his London hotel room and feeling all discombobulated again.
