David’s recently fallen I love with the long running Radio 4 comedy panel show, I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue. He reckons it’s the ultimate comfort listen and also one of the funniest shows he’s heard in ages. So today he wants to take Joe on a deep dive into everything about it and also have a go at playing the game themselves. Joe also tells David about doing some radio comedy himself and David rec...

Joe’s filming in London at the moment, very near to Camden. Which is where his wife Petra used to live when they first dated and also where he spent a lot of time gigging in his early comedy days. He had a magical morning walking around the area and reminiscing - so discussing all of that with David takes up the first half of the episode. Joe’s morning also gave him an idea for a game they can pla...

New week, old episode. And in this archive show from 2021, we chatted about lots of new things - the new AirBnB, Joe's new bluetooth and we play the new Word Game.

Time for some more of your emails. And this week, we have messages about a disappointing Deftones quip, a disgraceful affair in the 90’s, a lot of ladies fancying Joe Wilkinson, a meatball recipe enquiry, filling time at Delhi airport, a very impressive Chewbacca impression and the birth of a potential new Chatabix section - Fix My Quip. Happy Friday! FOR ALL THINGS CHATABIX'Y FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE/CON...

Picking up from yesterdays’s episode, David grills Joe about his Cokey Z relapse, they do some research into which food and drinks are healthy (and which aren’t), Joe suggests a new format idea for the pod and they rather ambitiously ask ChatGPT to come up with a thousand name suggestions for it - spoiler alert, it refuses. One of their favourites from the ten it does manage to come up with is ‘On...

David’s been to see the brilliant Alex Lowe performing as Clinton Baptiste at the Brighton Dome, which he absolutely loved. But the whole evening got David thinking about how bad a live Chatabix show would be in comparison. So once again, him and Joe spend much of the episode talking themselves out of ever doing a live tour of the pod. They also announce Chatabix’s new Patreon-only series ‘Lose Tw...

David’s been listening back to a recent episode of the pod where they talked about a live ‘Ladies Night’ show of Our Little Systems - and found himself utterly unbearable. Despite having fun at the time, he now thinks he came across as very pleased with himself indeed and wants to analyse the episode with Joe to work out where it all went wrong. And it turns out Joe’s not too impressed with his be...

Another episode randomly selected from the Chatabix archives. And in this one, we talked about Dermot, crap jobs, being ignored, and magicians / golfers.

In today’s selection of slightly baffling emails from the Chatabix Mailbag, there’s a picture of Joe with Joe Mahler, some celebrity holiday spots, a telling off story, Peter Andre’s brother, Helen Mirren’s bath, Chris Eubank’s phone number and a missing gall bladder.

We kick off today’s show with a debrief about yesterday’s trip to the Crawley Industrial Estate - which Joe absolutely loved. But it did make David realise how much of his time working there he spent daydreaming. And it turns out Joe did too, when he still had a full time job and was doing stand-up in the evenings. Then they do some more reminiscing about their 20’s, find out if there are any wart...

David’s staying near Crawley for a few days, so he’s taking the opportunity to visit the industrial estate where he had quite a few jobs in his 20s and early 30s. It’s the perfect occasion for an ‘on-location’ episode, so he’s called Joe on Zoom to join him for the adventure. So get ready for a lovely little trip down memory lane - featuring none other than the A-Plant offices and a number of othe...

It’s a very busy episode of chatting today and just a few of the subjects covered include - David being the main topic of conversation at Joe’s recent family meal, getting stressed talking about work, Joe’s frustrating encounter with a man who looked very ‘generically 55’, an Alan Titchmarsh gardening book, listening to pods while mowing the lawn, youthful daydreaming and Christian O’Connell livin...

In this old episode from way back in 2021 - we chat about the newspaper chairs on Russell Howard's Show, Beppe Di Marco, celebrities from Redhill and Joe our TV Reviewer lets us know what to watch.

With so many One In A Million emails in the mailbag at the moment, David and Joe decide to dedicate the whole of today's show to them. So, there’s tales about a holiday park bingo win, an uncanny premonition, a rather confusing story about someone’s escape from an orgy, two tall celebrities and a superb cigarette catch at a concert. That really is, One In A Million! FOR ALL THINGS CHATABIX'Y FOLLO...

David’s been staying in London again and last night went to an event where he drunk several glasses of wine and ate a total of 14 vol-au-vents. Swiftly followed by a grilled chicken wrap with chips when back at his hotel bar. So he’s full of regrets this morning and feeling guilty about over-eating. But never fear, Joe is here to calm his worries (well, sort of) and later in the show, they come up...

TV Joe is back with a brilliant new game of ‘Name That Tune’, ready to put David and Joe’s musical knowledge to the test. It’s also recently been TV Joe’s 40th birthday - so what better way to celebrate than with a hotly completed music based quiz. Needless to say, it’s one cracker of an episode - happy birthday Joe!

Well listeners, today’s show is bit of a head-scratcher to explain. Suffice to say, David tells Joe about a handsome and very self-assured man that he recently saw at his local farm shop, which somehow leads to Joe telling David about his neighbour’s military-style camper van. Plus, they both analyse why Joe is so bad at being tidy and David convinces him to clean up his office. So, pretty much Ch...

On today’s blast from the past episode - we chat about the charts, listeners unsubscribing, Chatabix buses, the impressions game and our surprise guest.

It’s Friday - so it must be Mailbag time! And in today’s show we read messages about a vigilante Joe fan, some Isle of Wight celebrity spots, a great hairdresser quip, an embarrassing time with the Artic Monkeys, a move to the countryside, some kind words from a golf course employe and a gardeners ‘little systems’.

Well, this might be the second half of the Pinboard Game double bubble - but in true Chatabix fashion, it’s not long before David and Joe get totally distracted by other subjects. Firstly, there’s David’s idea to do ‘Directors Cut’ style analysis episodes of our old guest interviews, complete with much cringing (about themselves of course, not the brilliant guests). And then the subject of an Our...

As Joe’s still feeling a little poorly and they both don’t have much to talk about today - David turns to his trusty pinboard ‘ideas cards’ to get the conversation flowing. So they randomly select topics from that, with subjects covered include beaches, maps, more gardening, more old jobs, being likeable and immediate rapport. Then they come up with a popularity contest game, which goes so well th...

David’s had a close shave this morning, nearly being run into by a truck. So he tells Joe about that and then Joe recounts a similar near-miss when he was a student in Bristol. In other news, David's been watching lots of Blackadder with his kids (with accompanying Flashheart impressions), Joe remembers going to see Bottom live at the Hammersmith Apollo, there’s a progress report on their colds an...

Archive ep time! We chat about our audio, our near disaster, more audio problems, Joe's awkward podcast encounter, Joe's carpet fitter, travelling to Polperro, not listening and some Noel Edmonds stuff First posted on 26th April 2021 FOR ALL THINGS CHATABIX'Y FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE/CONTACT:   YouTube Instagram TikTok Patreon Merch Email us at chatabix@yahoo.com Hosted on Acast.

After seeing how many submissions they’ve received for Joe’s ‘Our Little Systems’ idea, David wants to use today’s Mailbag show to see if the new format has potential. And after reading out the first few messages, David’s feeling increasingly positive about it. But Joe’s really not too sure, so they start a timer and give it 30 minutes to prove itself. Will the listeners’s ‘systems’ be entertainin...

Picking things up from yesterday’s cold-filled show, there’s yet more chat about showing off and generally being embarrassed by performing. Then David cryptically reveals a very perceptive comment made to him when he was a teenager at school, they try building some self-belief, take a cathartic trip to the beach and come up with some ways to keep their brains sharp. What a ride! Apologies again fo...
