Chatabix

In this week’s selection from the Mailbag, we read messages about boisterous scaffolders, an Olympic swimming team let-down, a regular work quip and a quip fail, the offer of some acting work, a case put forward for the clinical use of cannabis and an embarrassing video of David making some football predictions. Thanks to the lovely people at Stretford Paddock YouTube channel for sending it in! FO...

At first Joe and David fear they’ve nothing to talk about on today’s show. But then Joe mentions he’s just been on BBC Breakfast to discuss The Celebrity Traitors, so obviously David wants to know all about that. The talk then moves onto doing Zoom calls on TV, some belated and very out of date chat about who will win Traitors, a potential new TV show for Joe Mahler, Phil Kay in a bath tub at the...

On our latest edition of One in a Million, we read tales about a cosmic merch alignment on the London Underground, great luck with pedestrian crossings, a canoe exhibition in the 80s and a black eye at a job interview. Plus, a quick mailbag email from someone called Mary - or should that be Ben? FOR ALL THINGS CHATABIX'Y FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE/CONTACT: YouTube: ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@chatabixpodcast...

Before the guys start recording a new episode of One In A Million, Joe wants to tell David about his idea for a One In A Million TV gameshow. So he pitches the full concept to David but has a pretty tough time convincing him of its potential. And more importantly, will any TV execs - let alone Richard Osman - have any interest in buying and developing the show further? See what you think - could i...

It’s a brand new batch of your Mailbag emails!

David’s driving to a voiceover recording session this morning and of course Joe joins him on a Zoom call to have a chat along the way. So there’s lots of talk about what exactly he’ll be doing for the job and how he’ll behave for it. Plus, some discussion about high-vis jackets, French & Saunders, Absolutely Fabulous and a quick surprise guest quiz too. FOR ALL THINGS CHATABIX'Y FOLLOW/SUBSCRI...

Picking up from yesterday’s episode and the subject of miserable colds, Joe tells David about a reliable remedy that the comedian Mark Simmons uses to fight off the winter bugs. Then, after discussing how much they love Mark’s stand-up and his brilliant and very quick off-the-cough one liners, they decide to find out if they’re any good at coming up with some themselves. After a few early successe...

As you might have noticed, there’s been a distinct lack of podding at Chatabix towers for the past few weeks. But David and Joe are back and here to tell you all about what’s been happening. Well, mainly suffering from various illnesses and lots of other important stuff going on in their lives at the moment. The timing of which could not have been worse, what with Joe being in Celebrity Traitors,...

In this old episode of pod, we chat about Joe sneaking out of the house and recording the podcast behind his wife's back. And then an electrician enter's David's house - it’s bloody chaos.

Following our recent episodes about loving Clarkson’s Farm, the director and producer of the show - Kit Lynch-Robinson and Peter Richardson - got in touch to say hello. David and Joe were absolutely chuffed and of course invited them onto the pod for a chat - and here they are! So settle in for a proper Chatabix deep dive into all things Jeremy Clarkson and his well loved TV show about running a f...

It’s archive time again. In this one, David closes his eyes and imagines walking round the Fawlty Towers set and then Joe talks about Open All Hours.

Following on from yesterday’s episode, it’s time for more chat about our old work bosses. Well, that was the plan but in true Chatabix fashion, David and Joe soon get diverted from the task at hand. So instead you can expect discussions about David’s old VHS copy of MMA fights, not doing much work as a petrol station attendant in the 90s, travel plans, Joe’s fears of Thailand and David’s long forg...

David and Joe’s chat for the first half of the episode includes podcast sponsorship, getting free stuff, abandoned hobbies, looking busy (whilst not being busy) and the smoke and mirrors involved in press releases. During all of which, Joe realises he doesn’t have an actual boss and really appreciates it. He then tells David about a Direct Debit that he’s unknowingly been paying for months. He rec...

After chatting about a dream David had the previous night and Joe discovering he’s much more confident recording intros to pods than the actual pods themselves - they soon realise they’ve nothing to talk about for the rest of the episode. So they return to discussing their new TV show and more specifically, what an emotional roller coaster ride the filming was for David. A heady mix of discomfort,...

Another episode straight from the Chatabix archives! And in this one, we chat about footballers showing off and listen to the song, In The Shade First posted on 3rd June 2022 FOR ALL THINGS CHATABIX'Y FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE/CONTACT: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chatabixpodcast Insta: https://www.instagram.com/chatabixpodcast/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@chatabix Patreon: https://www.patreon.com...

It’s about time we had another Mailbag episode - so here it is! We kick things off with a whole load of quips and also do some analysis of Joe’s constant giggling. Then read messages about Pottery Throw Down, teaching Joe about weed, a prank on Michaela Strachan’s TV show, a sneaky One In A Million, some Inspector Lynley info and a Totness one night stand. Happy Friday! FOR ALL THINGS CHATABIX'Y F...

It’s Celebrity Traitors time again and hot off the press, here’s David and Joe’s debrief of last night’s Episode 3. So stand by for some high calibre Chatabix analysis of all the latest goings on in the castle - and hopefully some inside gossip too. Warning: these pods will contain spoilers about each specified episode of Celebrity Traitors, but definitely no more than that. So if you’re watching...

Well the wait is over as the brilliant actor Mark Bonnar finally join’s David and Joe to discuss all things Inspector Lynley. And most importantly, what he thought of David’s performance and behaviour on that fateful evening filming his scene in Series 6 Episode 2 of the show - Know Thine Enemy. As well as all that, he also chats about playing a killer on Taggart, working with Ridley Scott & J...

David and Joe have just finished filming their new TV series for U&Gold, which will be out next year. They’ve been asked by the channel to record something about it on the podcast, which can then be used as promotion for the show. So David and Joe give it their best shot to concisely explain the premise, but are predictably un-nerved by the task and soon lose confidence in themselves. That's u...

Well the second episode aired last week and for our next debrief, we’re joined by a very special guest - it’s Joe’s fellow Celebrity Traitor contestant Mark Bonnar! So it’s two insider insights for the price of one. Who says we never spoil you, buckle up for one heck of a Traitors extravaganza. Warning: these pods will contain spoilers about each specified episode of Celebrity Traitors, but defini...

In this old episode of pod, the lovely Colin Hoult joins us to chat about everything from buying a house and drinking too much red wine to winning an award at Edinburgh and performing as the wonderful Anna Mann.

Yes that’s right, it’s the first of our Celebrity Traitors specials! The series kicked off last night and all the contestants have entered the infamous Traitors castle - including our very own Joe Wilkinson, of course. So from now until the game has reached its dramatic conclusion, David and Joe will be discussing each episode after it’s broadcast. Tune in to hear all the details and inside gossip...

Joe’s now watched two more episodes of Clarkson’s Farm - and is absolutely loving it! So he and David are back to discuss even more about the show and the man himself, Jeremy Clarkson. They’re both a little bit in awe of him but are now seriously regretting having a go at his Top Gear and Grand Tour shows. And wonder if they’ve blown their chances of him ever wanting to be a guest on Chatabix. Lat...
