It’s the day you’ve all been waiting for - the grand final of our Coin-Toss Snooker Tournament! And we’re back in glorious Sheffield with a capacity crowd at The Crucible to watch all the action. Our two finalists have battled their way through three gruelling rounds and now face each other across the baize. They are of course, Chris ‘The Spider’ Webster and Oakley ‘Perky’ Perkinson. Who will win...

Despite David feeling a little bit iffy, he and Joe plough on with today’s show and start off by imagining what Joe would be like as a woman. And they come up with a pretty comprehensive picture actually - looks, clothes, husband, son and a profession too. Moving on, talk turns to their short-realised ideas, such as moving to Antigua, surfing, metal detecting, and magnet fishing. Then some thought...

Joe’s just back from a weekend away camping with Petra and a load of their friends. He’d revealed to David beforehand that he really wasn’t looking forward to the camping side of the trip - especially things like pitching the tent and using the showers and toilets. So David digs in deep on all of the details and relishes every minute of Joe’s tales of discomfort, irritability and complete ineptitu...

David and Joe come up with an idea to play a game based on the podcast charts. They get over excited and really enjoy themselves. Pathetic really. David's 50 and Joe's 49 - grow up lads, yeh? Anyway, here's some Friday fun.

David stayed at a London hotel last night and is shattered after a late night out in Soho. He’s also feeling very old after being around so many trendy, young London people. But he’s ordered some room service, which Joe reveals he’s never done before - so David wants to know why. It turns out he’s rather more of reluctant to spend money than David had realised. So stay tuned to find out why rather...

Joe’s just back from a holiday in Pembrokeshire, so he tells David about what he got up to. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t great but he did bump into comedian Paul F. Taylor, which was nice. And they discuss why they both always imaging living in the different holiday destinations that they visit. Joe also got stuck in a huge traffic jam on his way home, which may have tarnished his memory of th...

We’re not gonna lie, it’s a haphazard start to the opening of the show. But once things have settled down, Joe and David start chatting about house extensions and how much hassle they may or may not be to organise. Which leads onto David recounting his rather stressful visit to a bathroom showroom recently with his family. Let’s just say the whole experience left him a little despondent. But thank...

Time for another visit from TV Joe, who’s back with a new (or should that be old?) TV gameshow for David and Joe to play - Family Fortunes! First up though, and in spite of it being very old news now, the guys have a re-cap of Joe’s recent trip to Germany for the Euro’s semi-final. Which leads to a conversation about iconic sporting events and despite Joe’s disinterest, quite a bit of cricket chat...

It’s the first time that the guys have spoken since David did his best man speech, and Joe’s really keen to find out how things went. But first they need to get some tech issues sorted, discuss a few ailments and have a look at the special running shoes Joe wears because of his ‘blocky’ feet. Then, once David finally gets over his reticence to talk about it, he reveals all about doing his speech....

It’s the day before David’s best man speech and his best friend Mike’s wedding day, of course. So Joe and David have a lot to talk about - from practicing his speech and the weather prospects, to tactics for overcoming nerves and what suit he’s going to wear. And also whether he can get away with wearing his huge compass watch on the big day? They also both reminisce about their own weddings and h...

David’s just been to see one of his favourite bands The National, who were performing a concert at the Eden Project in Cornwall. He was shattered for the whole evening and had a weary drive there and back, but loved every minute of the show. Well, those minutes that he actually stayed for, as he may of may not have made it to the end? The concert got him thinking about what it’s like being 50 and...

Joe went to an Ibiza Proms concert on Brighton beach at the weekend and David wants to know everything about it. Unsurprisingly, Joe wasn’t in his comfort zone for most of the event - and even popped home to watch some football for a few hours. So David digs in for more information and enjoys every minute of Joe’s squirming. Plus, there’s some chat about DJing, a tale about meeting a millionaire a...

It’s the last of our Back Chatalogue surprise guest repeats - and this one was a very special occasion for Joe. Earlier this year, he and David were joined by Paul Sinton-Hewit, who is the founder of Parkrun. It’s a fantastic organisation which has played an important part in thousands of runner’s lives all over the world since Paul founded it in 2004. Least of all Joe’s, who might be one of its b...

Joe was at the Euro Semi Final in Dortmund and gives us the lowdown. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

David’s taken the train up to London for a meeting in Soho. So while he walks there from Paddington station, he gives Joe a call so they can chat on the way. Joe suggest’s doing a Blue Plaque tour, reads out some local London history and also tries to convince David to overcome his fear of the Underground. No chance! David also pops in to Superdrug to get some deodorant, grabs a sandwich from Pret...

Joe calls David and does an extra special where's Joe Now. Completely out of the blue, this episode. Hence the terrible audio. But, please - there was nothing we could do. Nothing. Almost, nothing. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It’s a sticky start to the episode as the guys have nothing to talk about. So they have a try at anything they can think of - from playing Pictionary and checking the charts, to reading out dodgy limericks and reminding themselves of the 90’s TV show Win Lose Or Draw. Then talk turns to celebrities they’ve met earlier in life, like Natalie Imbruglia and Daley Thompson. Which sparks off a whole lot...

It’s the second part of Joe and David’s mega-chat with last week’s guest Lee Mack. Picking things up again, the talk turns to game shows, pitching new ideas, learning lines, script read-through and the challenges of recording with a live audience. Plus, Lee tries to cast David as a policeman in his huge hit sit-com Not Going Out. It’s another epic episode! FOR ALL THINGS CHATABIX'Y FOLLOW/SUBSCRIB...

Fenners is back! And even though he’s on a tight schedule for the recording, he’s got loads to tell us about. It’s a heady mix of flat tires, speeding tickets, Soccer Aid, his new podcast about a fictional football team, changing rooms, training grounds, old TV shows, favourite interviews, presenting an awards ceremony and a very secret new project. So much to talk about! They only just remember r...

To kick off the show, Joe tries to trick David by being on a Insta Live at the same time as recording the pod. That soon falls flat though as David knew anyway. In spite of their discomfort at being ‘live’, they plough on regardless and let’s just say, things don’t go smoothly. But then they get one of the viewers to join them who saves the days with some wonderful words of encouragement - thanks...

It’s time for another ‘no longer a surprise guest’ repeat show - and we’ve only gone and got Lee Mack joing us! As you’ll all know, Lee is one of the UK’s most well-loved comedians and the undisputed fastest mind in comedy. So unsurprisingly, this is one heck of a Chatabix episode and the guys had so much to talk about, we had to split it into two halves. Part 2 coming next week… Recorded October...
