David & Joe have an idea for a property podcast. They talk about the format and how it might work but then realise they'd have to do it properly and speak faster with more energy like Phil Spencer. David get's sidetracked by his phone notifications pinging. They argue about how to end the episode. To test the format David finds Joe three random properties in Jarrow to choose from and realise they've made the property equivalent of Blind Date. Follow Chatabix on Twitter & Instagram: twitter...

Ex 'Deal Or No Deal'contestant Paul Gorton is back on the pod but this time telling David and Joe about how he hurt his lung playing football. This ends up in a long winded story with Paul revealing all about his footballing career and his famous friends.

David goes to Berry Pomeroy Castle allegedly the most haunted castle in England. It's getting dark and the castle is closed so he scales the locked gate and calls Joe. It get's darker.

David & Joe chat about supporting their football teams and how long it takes to get to the ground.

They puzzle over why the pod has gone up in the charts even though they are doing less eps and only ever talk about being in the charts...
