Chatabix

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...

Both Joe and David have nasty colds at the moment and feeling pretty rubbish. So they kick things off by discussing their illnesses, taking sickies, joe’s tactics for getting more holiday days at his old job and what it means to be a sociopath. Then, after wondering why they bother podding when ill, Joe challenges David to make the episode a double bubble. So they plough on with the chat - part tw...

TV Joe is back and this time he's challenging David and Joe to a game of Mr & Mrs. It’s proper 70’s Saturday night family quiz show vibes, so settle back and find out just how good a match as a couple our Chatabix hosts are. Plus, there’s some chat about the cricket in Sri Lanka, things get a bit ‘punky’, Joe discusses catering on The Traitors and we even get a few TV recommendations too. FOR...

It's a classic archive episode this week - Comedian & podcast host Ed Gamble joins David & Joe mid spat. After he’s broken up the argument, Ed talks about Off Menu, getting Ed Sheeran on, chart positions and why they should get a producer. Joe & David start bickering again. Ed leaves. First posted sometime in 2022, exact date now lost to posterity. FOR ALL THINGS CHATABIX'Y FOLLOW/SUBS...

Delving into the Mailbag once again, we read messages about one of David’s old bosses (which leads to a lot of reminiscing about previous jobs), a Norwegian cigarette quip, a Joe look-a-like (followed by even more digressions) and a litter vigilante video.

It’s the second part of our birthday double bubble episode, in honour of Joe’s 51st birthday. So following on from yesterday’s show, David and Joe discuss some of their insecurities about the pod, wonder why they’re getting fewer abusive comments, almost tell a new anecdote and finally realise why people continue listening to all this drivel. Then in an expositive finale, David reads some old tax...

It’s Joe’s birthday today so he and David celebrate by recording a double bubble episode! Well, it’s not what they’d originally planned but with lots to discuss about turning 51, David insists that they do. Amongst other topics, they chat about the Winter Olympics, Chatabix’s purple patch, getting closer to death, feeling irrelevant, appropriate jobs for old people and starting a birthday card bus...

Well, it’s the last of our trilogy of episodes discussing David’s recent work trips to London. And it’s turned out to be a right roller coster of emotions as this morning he’s feeling very upbeat about the city and making the most of being there. So much so that yesterday afternoon he took the opportunity to visit his agent, killed time by looking into lots of restaurant windows and almost treated...

In today’s blast front the past, we chat about audio issues, our new theme tune, what the show should be, we read out the listeners tweets, talk about the time Joe was trapped, David's old songs, Joe's wife makes an entrance and the optician calls David.

After yesterday’s recounting of his previous trip, David is swiftly back up in his London hotel room and feeling all discombobulated again. With a very eventful train journey there, including an encounter with a 60 year old weed-smoker, he and Joe are keen to pick up on their conversation about his awkwardness with leaving home and having to spend time in a big city. It’s his London adventures par...
