In this episode, David is whisking us back to Majorca to tell us more about his lovely holidays there at the all-inclusive hotel resort. And he’s got plenty more points on the list of things he made while there that he wants to discuss with Joe. Which include - wanting to become a waiter, living a more relaxed life, opinions on thongs, not belonging in England, scary night time toilet trips and a...

It’s a return visit to Chatabix for the wonderful Rob Beckett, who first joined us on the pod way back in 2022. And this time, David and Joe have lots of new questions to ask him. Top of that list is what it was like being on Celebrity Gladiators earlier this year, where he competed against Joel Dommett. How high were the platforms, how fast was the travelator, how fun were the balls to hold and j...

Over the past few months, David’s been getting up at 5 am to start working and wants to tell Joe about how much he’s been loving it. So much so, he’s buzzing! All of which Joe finds a little confusing, but he’s very happy for David that he’s being so productive. Moving on, David’s also recently back from a week’s family holiday in Majorca and made loads of notes while there of things that happened...

In this week’s mailbag, David and Joe read a message about a friend’s old band called The Leading Edge, who played with Tears For Fear in the 80’s. This sparks off a long conversation about making music, being successful at it and some of the names that the teenage David considered for his band - pretty much at the expense of any other emails. That’s Mailbag for you! FOR ALL THINGS CHATABIX'Y FOLL...

Joe’s going to a reunion with some of his very old pals from an office he worked at in Surrey in the late 90’s. And before they all meet, one of them has sent them some photos from the time, which really takes Joe back and gets him feeling very nostalgic. Or should that be melancholic? Either way, he’s giving off a very weird energy which David definitely wants to find out more about. So settle ba...

David was on the Gin & Tonics last night watching the football with his family and now has a pretty bad hangover to deal with. So it’s anyone’s guess how this episode will go - but Joe does his best to keep things on track for us. Stay tuned to find out what happens and if Joe manages to get David to take some Asprins. If the conversation flags too much though, they always have Joe’s good old...

David and his wife Naomi have recently done some sneaky viewings of homes for sale just by knocking on the door and having a chat with the owners. They’re bypassing those pesky estate agents completely and loving it. Joe however, who really likes the idea of having a snoop around other peoples houses, doesn’t think it’s a good idea at all - let alone safe!? So, David decides it’s time to convince...

Vault episode time!

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...

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 Mailbag time! And Joe kicks off the show with a very special letter from a Chatabix listener in Australia about Ronnie Barker.

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...
