Chatabix

This week, we read messages about a Crunch Crunch opportunity with Armando Iannucci, appropriate farts, a portable ashtray user, Fuck The Suits, Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen’s clothes, Judy Dench (again), not listening to Chatabix in the mornings, more jokes, a few quips and another selection of pot-heads.

After a quick chat about helping out around the house more, Joe wants to talk to David about the TV crime documentary he watched last night, which was set on Mersea Island in Essex. But David then remembers he’s not yet told Joe about his wild camping trip to Sheepstor on Dartmoor, which he absolutely loved. The question is though, will Joe be interested in it enough to chat about it for the rest...

David’s considering an all-inclusive summer holiday for him and his family this year. But he’s really not too sure about it and wants to get Joe’s thoughts on the matter. The only problem is that Joe’s having to whisper (as Petra is asleep next door) and David’s finding it pretty hard to hear him. So as you can imagine, the conversation flows wonderfully! But they do manage to reach a conclusion o...

Joe’s starting some volunteering work which involves a bit of running, so he tells David about that. He’s also wondering if a friend of his thinks he’s a bit of a prat - so they have a deep dive into all that too. Plus, Joe’s new phone app, David does some impressions and they chat about Swatch watches and confident people they knew at school. Classic Chatabix drivel - lovely! FOR ALL THINGS CHATA...

That’s right, it’s a special guest vault episode - Goldie joins David and Joe to chat about Buckingham Palace's gravel and banana cake.

Amongst this weeks messages, we hear from a happy gardener in The Isle of Man, a magician at a speed-awareness course, send a birthday message to a Swedish Chatabiscuit, then read out a few old pub jokes and a bunch more quips too.

Following Joe’s failed attempt to ride Hyperia at Thorpe Park, David wants to convince Joe that visiting haunted woods and castles are just as scary as going on a roller-coaster. So knowing that Joe lives quite near to Clapham Wood - a renowned site of ghosts, ghouls and creepy goings on, David sets about telling him everything about the place to get him properly spooked. And then challenges him t...

In the previous episode, David and Joe promised you an extra ‘cherry-on-top’ for their Thorpe Park Hyperia Roller Coaster ride debrief. So here it is - albeit a slightly rotten little cherry. Apologies in advance for Joe’s poor location audio. Enjoy!

The day of Joe’s long awaited trip to Thorpe Park has finally arrived and he's made his way there to ride the dreaded Hyperia - Britain’s tallest and fastest roller coaster! What will happen, how will he cope with the nerves and how will he feel after such an exhilarating/petrifying experience. Well, not everything goes quite as planned, in more ways than one. So stay tuned for the full debrief… F...

It’s time to revisit another old Chatabix episode. And in this one, as Joe lived in Polperro for 4 months, he tells David about his perfect day there.

It’s Mailbag time! And Joe kicks off the show with a very special letter from a Chatabix listener in Australia about Ronnie Barker. That’s followed by messages about an embarrassing encounter with an American sports legend, another littering story, a whole bunch of emails from pot smokers and a load more quips. Lovely!

It’s about that time for some more TV Joe - and for this episode he’s brought a brand new quiz with him. Essentially, it’s a copy of the Bridge Of Lies TV game show - but with a twist. So there’s David answering questions about Chortle comedians, Joe trying to remember Chatabix episode titles and the two of them battling it out over true or false Patreon's names. Plus, there’s also time for some T...

After joining the gym a while back, David’s finally started using it and Joe wants to know how he’s getting on. As you might expect, David’s a little reluctant to speak about it - but Joe tries his best anyway and we do eventually get some details. Then, in a clever avoidance move, David starts talking about The Gladiators, which he’s loving at the moment. And before you know it, they’ve invented...

Joe’s still in Manchester, filming for Cats Does Countdown. So in this episode, David tries to get Joe to tell him about the famous Countdown set and what exactly happens during a recording of the show. Joe’s a little over-tired though, so isn’t particularly receptive to David’s questioning. But when the subject of all the famous people he’s seen at the studios comes up, the two of them get much m...

A golden oldie from the archives - David and Joe chat about Status Quo's In The Army Now and then David tells Joe about a girl he fell in love with at school.

Joe’s been filming in Manchester for the past few days and with so much going on there, he wants to use today’s episode to tell David everything that’s happened. Well, that was the plan. But when he kicks things off with an embarrassing story about saying hello to Olympic-star Colin Jackson in his hotel restaurant, things very quick get de-railed. After a bit of digging from David, it turns out Jo...

David bough £55 of fish from a door-to-door salesman last night. And even though he found the fella very trustworthy and also took his telephone number - now in David’s phone as ‘Charlie Fish’ - he’s now wondering if it might have been some sort of scam? So him and Joe run though all the possibilities, before discussing a number of con-artists that Joe’s come across in the past. It’s a right old s...

After a couple of frustrating minutes texting about things they can’t talk about on the pod, David asks Joe about his recent appearance on the Chris Moyles Radio X Breakfast Show. Being such a fan of Chris, David wants to know everything about the experience and especially how Joe managed to remain so comfortable with it all. Which somewhat predictably makes Joe feel very uncomfortable for the maj...

Chata-vaults time! And apologies in advance as the audio is pretty ropey on this one. Friend of the pod Ben Rufus Green pops on and chats about his new podcast Metro Retro and Joe regrets showing David and Ben an old copy of playboy.

After a tough evening at his five-a-side footie match last night, Joe’s again wondering if it’s time to hang up his boots. Is it all now too physically demanding on his 50 year old body? Which leads him and David to wondering about the general markers of ageing and what, if anything, they can do to hold them back. Well, David’s started doing daily morning yoga and Peloton exercises with his wife -...

David’s in a bit of a mood this morning and feeling pretty low. So to cheer him up, Joe tells him about the great time he had recently at a Comic Relief charity tennis match. Which seems to work, eventually. Then in other news, they talk about finding ‘chore days’ really satisfying, try to work out if they are any good at Scouse accents and finish things off with some introspection about why they...

After an indecisive start to the show, David and Joe invent a ‘Wheel Of Fortune’ type game to select a topic to talk about. David then comes up with three things he reckons might be interesting to chat about - 1) planning his family’s driving holiday around Europe, 2) impulsively joining a gym, and 3) his thumbnail coming off after shutting it in the car door a few weeks ago. So let’s spin that wh...

It's another episode dug out from our extensive archives. And in this one, we try and record our advert for our Patreon and we get to know our new horse.

David’s in a brilliant mood this morning (ie. he’s had 2 double expressos), which slightly wrong-foots Joe to begin with. He’s just been doing some household chores and is really not as upbeat as David. So the pod's all a little imbalanced for the first 15 mins or so. Then Joe realises that with David in this mood, it’s a great time to ask him again about his attitude to MMUs, hoping for a better...
