Chatabix

After a kicking off the show with some chocolate ginger biscuit chat, Joe then tells David about a frustrating encounter he had recently with someone at the Sea Life aquarium in London. And another incident with an inconsiderate passenger on the train journey home the very same day. So David quizzes Joe about what he does and doesn’t do when people recognise him. As you’d imagine, it’s quite an aw...

After an invigorating run before recording today’s pod, Joe’s in a really upbeat mood and loving his life at the moment. It’s a sentiment that David is really pleased to hear as he’s needing a bit of a pick-up. So they both decide to have a really positive conversation for the whole of today’s show. But it’s not as easy as it sounds as those negative thoughts start creeping back in quite quickly -...

On todays show, there’s messages about an inspirational grandmother, a gardener from the Surrey Downs, an obsession with the Isle of White, a song about paving slabs, some praise for the pod and a reminder of Joe’s promiser to ride a rollercoaster, a true crime podcast audition, a reply from Barry Morris and a couple of littering stores from a very conscientious farmer. What better way to kick off...

Whilst holidaying on a barge in Bath last summer, David met the wonderful Georgie on the Kennet and Avon canal. Not only has Georgie been living on barges for the past four years, she’s also a dedicated Chatabiscuit. So what better way to learn more about the highs and lows of a life lived on the canals than inviting her onto the pod for a good old natter. David and Joe are in their element as Geo...

David and Joe are in a very introspective mood for today’s show and it’s a right mixed bag of conversation. Amongst other things, they cover David starting his walking again, getting fitter, toe yoga, wide shoes, spending money, all or nothing attitudes, conversation shutters, Joe turning fifty, having 10 year goals, an American musical comedy show called Sir Winchalot, being untethered and coming...

Soon after they start todays’s episode, Joe realises he’s left his phone in his car and rushes off to get it as he’s worried it might be stolen. Seeing a perfect opportunity to wind Joe up, David tells him he shouldn’t get so stressed about things like that. He also recommends a much more zen attitude to theft and to even start thinking of it as ’sharing the wealth’. Well, there are plenty out the...

David’s decided he’s had enough of smart phones and has bought himself a little Nokia to free himself of his iPhone addiction. He’s full of hope for his new phone-free life and has even come up with some clever tactics to deal with not having any of his apps. Joe’s very supportive of the idea and even considers doing it himself - that is until he starts to see some cracks appear in David’s resolve...

David’s recent family holiday to the beautiful seaside village of Polperro in Cornwall was unceremoniously ruined by him catching a nasty bout of flu. So he explains to Joe just how promisingly the trip began and how disappointed he was when he had to spend the rest of it shivering in bed. Poor old David - but thankfully he’s over it now and feeling much more positive. Talk then turns to Joe’s new...

After having some pretty serious problems with his prostate, David is thankfully on the mend and has just received the all clear on his most recent test results. So as well as being hugely relieved, he’s keen to talk about it with Joe on the pod and do his bit to help de-stigmatise some of the issues around prostate health. He’s also wants to let other men know who might find themselves in the sam...

After David’s caffeine crisis in the last episode, he’s especially keen not to talk too much today. But after Joe tell’s him he’s just back from the gym, an argument soon starts about David’s sensitivities with body-building and being picked on as a kid because his dad was into it. Essentially, it’s round two of the heated discussion they had about it a month or so ago. So in attempt to calm thing...

Joe’s comes up with what he thinks is a great idea for today’s episode - to ask each other ‘What’s Your Sin?’. David however has a had a bit too much coffee and much to Joe’s annoyance, is finding it really difficult to concentrate. So their conversation veers all over the place and we never really get to find out what either of their sins are - other than David having a pair of shoes made for him...

David is absolutely loving the current series of The Great Pottery Throw Down, so much so that he really wants to become one of its hosts. As Joe’s not seen the show before, David enthusiastically explains everything about it to him and what incredibly cosy TV it is. They then both have a think about what skills would be needed for David to join its presenting team. But after quite a few tries at...

What would David and Joe do if Chatabix ever came to an end and they weren’t able to pod anymore? Well, in this episode it’s a predicament that they decide to have a good long think about. But that’s not before they’ve have a load of very inappropriately timed technical problems to sort out. Could it be that Chatabix Towers is finally coming tumbling down?

So David and Joe are hoping he can give them some coaching to improve their singing and get t...
