Well, well, well. What do we have here? Its definitely not a motoring talk show. I mean, normally it is, but today, for this episode, it isnāt. Instead Mo and O spend the entire episode talking about the delights of Birmingham, bash Lewis Hamilton (not physically) and then talk for ages about TV shows.
If you ever wanted a podcast brought to you by a couple of regular petrol heads, who arenāt professionals, giving you half-assed attempts at TV show recommendations, boy do we have the show for you! Its also, quite possibly, the one and only time you will hear Keanu Reeves referred to as a Hillbilly.
Spoiler alert!

O is back to dismantling Microphone stands and the less-than-dynamic duo are back recording in person. Which means you can hear them properly in this episode. Just as well, because the pair share some road rage stories, get confused about the Ford Focus RS, ask whether the non-German 2 door sports car is really dying and discuss transportation options when travelling to Europe.
Thereās another car review too. The shopping trolley deflecting budget super mini that is the Citroen C3. The pair somehow end up spending more time talking about Nissan and Honda during this review but there is some kind of a conclusion to the roadtest. And it somehow ends up with O calling Kia d********.

Finally, another episode of Drivel! The duo return for a long overdue episode. This time, Mo and O use cutting edge remote collaboration technology, commonly referred to as Zoom, to bring you an hour long argument.
In amongst the arguing, O complains about time, his wife and Formula 1 street circuits. Mo also complains about fuel prices (so predictable) and the not so convenient world of public transport (less predictable). Thereās also a car review buried in here ā the Hyundai i10 which claims the title as the 6th cheapest new car in the UK. Its relatively cheap, but is it any good? Would Mo recommend it? Should he give Stranger Things another go? Should these show descriptions be less drivelly? Should we stop asking you questions now?

What do people from Birmingham, Bradford and America all have in common?
They will all probably be offended, by O, in this episode of Drivel.
Also in this episode the not-so-dynamic duo provide lots of unwarranted consumer advice, which is probably neither useful nor correct, Mo reminisces about the time when two WWE superstars fought each other in a boiler room, Take-Aways on Alum Rock Road are reviewed in the most lacklustre food review ever, O becomes a chav and Mo makes a weird noise in response to the new BMW 7 Series.
The car being reviewed this week is the G21 BMW 3 Series Touring. Not just any BMW 3 Series Touring. Itās Moās new BMW 3 Series Touring and he has been forced to review it because of an Instagram poll. (How many times can we type BMW 3 Series Touring in this paragraph before you get irritated? Just once more. BMW 3 Series Touring. Irritated?)

It happened. It was only matter of time. Clearly inevitable. We shouldnāt be surprisedā¦ The censor beep makes an appearance. Twice. Obviously O is the one being censored. Obviously.
In this episode the duo also take a deeper look into the Electric car market and ask why all Teslas look the same before uncovering the true cost difference between ICE and electricity. Itās a very serious piece of automotive journalism from two non automotive journalists and the conclusion asks a very important question while narrowly avoiding a marital dispute.
Elsewhere in the episode, its been a while so the duo forget the Twitter handle, thereās a pause while O takes an important business call, we all discover he spies on his neighbours and thereās a debate on airbags ā not the health and safety kind.

Another fortnight, another Drivel episode. Topics for this episode include, but are of course not limited to:
Something called āThe Visionariesā from Oās childhoodThe return of FerrariA TwitterInternet reviews under duressA really bad advertThereās also another Drivel first. Itās our third memberās first car review! Hence the title.
Tom got behind the wheel of the Kia āNew Ceedā without any apostrophes. Did the Kia āNew Ceedā meet his expectations? Would we recommend one? Is Tom tall? All of these questions, and more, are kinda, sort of answered in this episode. Unfortunately itās a review by proxy so you still only get Mo and O directed at your ear drums but it could be worse. Not sure how, but it could be.

In todayās episode, the duo features the first ever all electric car on Drivel. Thatās right, the guys give in, get with the times and see what all the fuss is about as O gets behind the (highly irritating) wheel of VWās ID3 in a long term test. Turns out its not just the steering wheel thatās irritatingā¦
This being Drivel, there are plenty of side bars to discuss really important topics such as Knight Rider, Thunder in Paradise and documentaries about Sporting Personalities. In order to remain current there is also rant about Petrol prices, followed by a rant about Automatics driven in Manual mode, followed by a rant about MOTs, followed by a rant about lane discipline.
And as the episode is dedicated to our Linkedin listener base, Mo delivers some observations about the most professional social media platform to occupy space on your phone screen.

5 seconds. Thatās how long it takes for the bickering to start in this episode of Drivel. Once the duo figure out their intro and remind listeners that this isnāt a knitting podcast, O decides he doesnāt like Jaguar. Clearly still a bit emotional after the last episode.
Also in this episode, Mo wants to play a game, a game that takes listeners inside Oās mind and somehow results in him admitting that given a choice he would choose to buy a convertible Porsche. As youāve come to expect thereās also some ranting about lorries that decide its ok to overtake each other in the worldās dullest 56mph race and yet more opinions (that nobody asked for) about recent decisions that have been made in the world of Formula 1. You will also be offended as O seems to be going for a record to insult almost everyone he can, including his dear wife.
Enjoy! We did.

Itās been a while but the duo are back with more Drivel for 2022! Itās been so long in fact that the guys forget their own social media handles, express a torrent of emotion and ramble for longer than usual. In traditional Drivel fashion, unsolicited advice is given (which of course should never be followed) on things like buying used cars and what not to say in a professional corporate interview.
In other news, O has more personal vendettas, this time with random internet people, Mo tells O how to spell Autobahn, O has a confession to make which is apparently Moās fault and we learn a random fact about car names and patents. Oh yes, thereās also a car review of a Jaguar F Pace ā the SUV Crossover thingy that helped keep Jaguar alive. On the subject of Jaguar, O learns something that makes him very sad.
Emotions. Get ready for them.

This is it, the very last episode of 2021 and the duo are laser focussed on just two things: the nail-biting finale of the Formula 1 season and a road test of arguably the best all round road car money can buy, Audiās phenomenal RS6.
The guys are so focussed in fact that technically, neither of them saw the main talking point of the F1 race when it was broadcast live, so itās a good job we live in an age of TV on demand. Their focus continues throughout the show as they somehow end up discussing the noises made by superheroes during orgasm.
And thatās not it for noises. O gives an audible description of the gear selector in the RS6 without using words. Yes, the outcome is as weird as that sentence sounds.

The team are back, like clockwork to bring you another episode of your favourite fortnightly automotive podcast. In this episode the duo take a deeper look into main dealer pricing for mechanical repair work ā itās actually one main dealer in particular with a unique reputation for unreliability (weāll let you figure out who that might be!)
Mo and O also shed ālightā on a car from the brand that is home to our favourite marketing team. Yes thatās right, itās Seat! The Family Car of the Year that is the Seat Leon gets a very thorough roadtest that is largely skipped in favour of the āenlighteningā marketing messages coming out of Seat instead. This review promises to āilluminateā like no other.
Lights, Microphone, ACTION!

Thatās right folks! Episode 30. Itās so much of a milestone that there was very little prep that went into this raw, unfiltered, slightly tired sounding episode of Drivel recorded at the ungodly hour of 9am. The chaps fill your earholes with tails of car trading, inflation, the phenomenon of firework displays and the theft of a BMW.
Thereās also a lot of chat about motoring shows that veer off into views and opinions that nobody asked for and very few will agree with. O gives his commentary (contrary to the thoughts and opinions of Martin Brundle) on the F1 saga of last weekend, much to the delight of Mo. This episode also sees a first, never happened before, once in a Drivel lifetime event and a conclusion that nobody would ever expect to hear.
Hereās to the next 30.

Its been a busy few weeks here at Drivel HQ so in this weekās episode the not-so-dynamic duo discuss a plethora of random things including a car meet attended by a Porsche Speedster replica, a Delorean and a ruined Ford, Movie cars, Elon Musk and the astounding discovery that Mo hasnāt seen Top Gun!
Itās also a special week for O as he is reunited with his early 2000s love affair, the MG Z-S. Or is he? Well, no, is the answer to that. He instead drives its modern day namesake through Snake Pass and gives us his review in the way that only O can. Rather remarkably, Mo has some knowledge to share about the history of MG and even goes so far as to call the brand pioneering. Did you ever think youād see the day?
Drivel. Get ready to fill some silence.

Itās been a little bit longer than usual since our last episode but we are still here and weāve grown! In this episode we welcome Tom, a new member to the Drivel Team. O delivers Tom many instructions centred primarily around his own grievances including with Lexus, Autotrader, Ebay, his dear wife and random folk on Facebook.
We focus in on 2020ās second best-selling car in the UK, the Vauxhall Corsa (hold your excitement) and during its review we somehow end up talking about the Fisker Karma, fake vs. real leather and the engine configuration in a 2006 BMW 325i. We also reveal the hidden Easter Eggs that Vauxhall drivers can enjoy.
This episode has a special guest appearance from Google Assistant. Drivel ā its like Halloween in that nobody really cares about it yet with each iteration it just seems to get more popular.

Today, Ladies and Gentleman, we bring to you O impersonating Mo. We will leave it to you to determine if its accurate or not. We also pose a very important question; does Oās inability to stay still in front of a microphone for any more than about 34 seconds irritate you?
Somewhere in this episode we review the Peugeot 208, the latest car in the Peugeot range to receive some pretty decent styling. Does it drive as well as it looks? Clearly we head down many avenues and discuss worldly topics such as the limited selection of Jaguars available and protestors along the way. Wouldnāt be Drivel otherwise now would it?

Have you ever wanted a book review of two lesser known childrenās stories read to you by a couple of 30-40 year old regular petrol heads? No. Well, welcome to Story Time with Mo and O anyway. Like everything else Drivel, it promises to be completely average.
Also in this episode the pair get carried away with their Drivel, covering topics such as their inconclusive conclusion on the weekendās Formula 1 events along with a cracking marketing suggestion for the PR team responsible for Lewis Hamilton. Thereās also a special murder vehicle for sale at a hugely inflated price.
And in a totally unexpected and unprecedented turn of events, O delivers an uplifting, motivational speech about being strong and independent. Yes you read that correctly. O, being motivational. Itās weird. Itās Drivel.

Another instalment of Drivel sees Mo & O talking about Motoring TV, old and new, which involves taking a trip down memory lane ā a lane filled with Chrome Spinners, 1000 sub-woofers and far too many TV screens, but evidently a lack of necessary mechanical repairs or fair treatment of employees. Pimpinā aināt easy.
We also get to drive Oās latest acquisition, the FN2 Honda Civic Type-R; does it still live in the shadow of its predecessor the infamous EP3 or has time changed our perspective? That almost sounds like we know what weāre on about but fear not listeners, this episode is still packed full of idiocy and offence ā sorry Taxi Drivers and Americans. And Mum, sorry Mum.

In this episode, Mo & O take up your valuable listening time drawing comparisons between Tommy Robinson and Lewis Hamilton, questioning the purpose of Naked and Afraid and make some kind of statement about football.
Thereās car related drivel in here too as the pair get to the bottom of the hidden messages coming out of Seatās marketing department alongside a review of the Seat Arona ā yet another small Cross-UV designed for people with Top Hats and tall children. Never one to shy away from internet research (unless its on the second page of Google), O is true to form as he enlightens us all with some more interesting facts ā this time about unexpected cars, that have borrowed unexpected parts from other unexpected vehicles. It was unexpected.

Rounded off nuts, cinema snacks and drunken sword fighting on a Friday night all make an entry in this episode of Drivel. O also takes us on a brief and probably incorrect history lesson around why we drive on the correct side of the road and who is responsible for the speed limit, whilst Mo provides second hand statistics to highlight the impact of silicone on the car market. Warning: Thereās some F1 related content in here too.

Have you ever wondered what noise a Range Rover with a broken Electronic Parking Brake makes? Of course you have! Well now youāll be able to find the answer youāve been seeking. In this episode of Drivel, we also attempt to offset some of our carbon footprint by test driving a Plug-In Prius and recording in a hot room with no aircon. The sacrifices we make, know no bounds. Drivel ā saving the planet, one episode at a time.
