We might be on a short break until our new series begins - but the Vault Monday shows continue regardless! In this episode, first posted on 29th July 2021, we chat about bad thoughts, what presents to buy and we sing an improvised farewell song.

To finish your Chatabix week off in style, we bring you an extra episode from our back-catalogue vaults. And in this show, first posted on 16th November 2022, we’re joined by the brilliant genius Richard Osman, who chats mainly to David about the county of Sussex, whilst Joe watches iPlayer. Then they all turn their attention to gameshows and how to come up with great new TV ideas. There’s also a lot of chat about Deal or No Deal, which it turns out Richard was the producer of for many years. It’s one heck of an episode!

It’s our 500th show and the final episode of this series. So what better way to end things before we take a short break than with a Listener’s Mailbag! We kick things off with a message from someone very close to the pod about Joe’s domestic cleaning - which is all rather awkward for him. And it’s pretty uncomfortable for David too when Joe asks him for an update on his washed sofa covers. This leads onto a long conversation about keeping up with the household chores and their plans to do more cooking. After all that, there’s just time for a few more of your emails, which this week are about catching up on the back catalogue, buying Noel Edmonds old house, going to Bagdad, supporting a mates band and high strength hand-dryers. Thanks for all your messages, we love reading them. Please send us more at chatabix@yahoo.com A bonus Vault episode will be going out tomorrow (Thursday) and our usual Vault Monday shows will continue through the break. We'll be back soon!

After last week’s episode about swingers, David suggests they ask the Chatabix Patreons if any have swung and might be up for coming on the pod to chat about it. Much like last time, it’s a subject that makes Joe feel very uncomfortable - but he can’t quite explain to David exactly why. After failing to get to the bottom all that, they send out the message and surprisingly get quite a few responses. So they invite one of the people who’ve replied to join them and he kindly Zooms in to reveal all. It turns out he has two very unfortunate stories which are quite the rollercoaster ride. So hold onto your hats - it’s an instant Chatabix classic! Many thanks to our Patreon ‘Minnie’ (not his real name) for being such a good sport.

To kick off the Chatabix week, each Monday we’re putting out an episode from the early days of the pod, as there’s plenty you might not have heard. Well, we have recorded about 12,000 episodes. Please excuse any dodgy sound quality as there was plenty of that back then - but we’re hoping you might find that all part of the charm. In this week’s episode, first posted on 31st January 2022, David gets someone on to pretend to be an England cricketer and Joe falls for it and feels very uncomfortable at one point. Enjoy!

Just in time to kick off your weekend, it’s more treats from the Chatabix mailbag. This week, David and Joe read out messages about a Cliff Richard Blue Plaque, a Chatabix book club, the Totness market bakery, a recent dream about the pod, a song inspired by biscuits, sea-shanties, a potential new theme tune and a listener’s dance music track. It’s a proper musical episode - enjoy!

After a quick brainstorm about what to talk about on today’s show, Joe and David decide to look at some life hacks. But after a promising start, they soon get board of the idea. So they scrap that and switch things up by David asking Joe what he’ll be doing in five years time - which sends Joe into a bit of a spin. So you can expect loads of slightly uncomfortable chat about difficult decisions, getting older, maybe relocating to the countryside and whether for not to build a podcast studio in the garden.

After listening to an old Chatabix episode from a couple of years ago, David’s remembered his plan to track down some swingers to talk to on the pod. He and Joe quickly realise it might be quite a weird thing to do, but plough on with the idea nonetheless. Joe’s also pretty worried about the dark web, as he thinks they may have to use it for their research. But as David can’t turn off his browser’s safe-search setting, it looks like it might be up to Joe to do most of the work. So stay tuned to find out what they discover and if they decide to go through with any of it… FOR ALL THINGS CHATABIX'Y FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE/CONTACT: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chatabixpodcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/chatabix1 Insta: https://www.instagram.com/chatabixpodcast/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/chatabix Merch: https://chatabixshop.com/ Contact us: chatabix@yahoo.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Joe’s travelling up to London for some work and while he’s on the train, he Zooms David to record today’s episode. So, there’s lots of chat about trains, they both tell stories about weird passengers they’ve encountered, we all learn a bit about what ADR is and Joe tell’s David about a recent encounter with a litterer which got him properly worked up. Plus, there’s the obligatory patchy WI-Fi signal, of course. It’s a great way to kick off the Chatabix week!

After some chat about Spotify playlists and whether they’re starting to looking old, Joe asks David if he’s had any progress with his plans to become a house-husband. Which naturally leads them onto discussing housework in general and just how much of it they actually do? To get to the bottom of things, they come up with a nifty little quiz to find out which of them does the most - and it turns out to be a pretty revealing 15 minutes for the both of them. Also, after wondering how much housework other comedian do, they text Rob Beckett for his take on things and Joe reluctantly reveals his very special recipe for meatballs.

It’s a right old mixed bag of chat on today’s show - all very Chatabixy! So, after starting off with David playing some old BBC Christmas promos from the 80’s, the conversation moves onto feeling nostalgic (or not), location film sets in Devon and Brighton, David losing another tooth, feeling weird about people knowing where you live, a few messages from listeners and finally Joe’s ongoing battle to quip less. Whether that’s a good or a bad thing, we’ll leave up too you to decide… FOR ALL THINGS CHATABIX'Y FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE/CONTACT: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chatabixpodcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/chatabix1 Insta: https://www.instagram.com/chatabixpodcast/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/chatabix Merch: https://chatabixshop.com/ Contact us: chatabix@yahoo.com Learn more about your ad choices.

To kick off today’s show, Joe tells David that he’s started drawing using his iPad, which he’s really loving and has almost finished his first picture. Also, as they’ve both been ill for the past week, they compare notes on all that. Then it’s onto the main topic of the episode - David’s week alone at home without Naomi, taking full responsibility for looking after the kids and doing all of the household chores. He reckon’s he’s been coping wonderfully and wonders what all the fuss is about. But after a little questioning from Joe, it turns out David might not having been quite as successful as he thought. Will Naomi in fact be returning to a bit of a disaster zone - and will David be able to keep any of it up after she’s back?

This week’s mail (i.e. emails sent into us over the past 3 years) includes messages about gut-barging, painting canal barges, a missing goat, talking about teeth and a most unfortunate cycling injury. Plus, in a Mailbag first, we speak to the actual Joe Wilkinson whose email we read out last week. What a lovely Chatabiscuit!

David has come up with three potential topics to discuss on today’s show and thankfully, Joe likes the sound of all of them. But when David begins with a very embarrassing story from his youth about going to the Café de Paris nightclub in London and the first time he took an ecstasy pill - Joe’s really only interested in hearing more about that. So buckle up for a full hour of revelations about his drug-fuelled night of podium dancing, an extremely regretful dance-floor compliment and some very short-lived DJing aspirations too. Trust us, it’s quite the episode.

On a recent episode of the pod, David and Joe talked about heart attacks and mentioned that they’d be fascinated to speak with someone who’s had one. It turns out that loyal Chatabiscuit Andrew White had one about 10 years ago - and he graciously emailed in to say he’d be happy to have a chat. So he joins us on today’s show for a good old natter about it all. Thankfully Andrew fully recovered from the awful incident and whilst keeping ever vigilant about his health, he’s been making the most of things ever since. Cheers Andrew!

Petra’s been away for a week and to be honest, Joe’s been struggling on his own. Which gets him and David thinking about what life would be like if they became single again - and as it turns out, it’s pretty bleak. Joe then reveals he had an altercation whilst out driving the other day, so him and David swap stories about other annoying road incidents. After all that, to lighten the mood, David tells a story about re-enacting a family photo and looking around his grandparent’s old house in Devon. Lovely stuff.

More listener’s emails, both old and new. And the first one we read out is from another Joe Wilkinson - how mad is that! Thanks Joe, lovely to hear from you. Other messages include an invite to a game of tennis, more sightings of Blue Plaques, some behavioural therapy regarding showing off, the problems with listening to the pod whilst using a chainsaw, television props, being on the Krypton Factor and working at Millbank Tower.

TV Joe’s just back from a trip to Nashville USA. So David and Joe kick things off by finding out how that all went and also ask him a lot of questions about cowboy boots. But of course TV Joe has a new quiz for them to play - and this time it’s a great, three-part game called ‘Name That Age’. David and Joe are pretty excited about it - so much so that they even wonder if Richard Osmond might be interested in the format? So stay tuned to find out what it’s all about and hear how David and Joe get on once the quiz begins. This one’s definitely a winner!

Today’s episode begins all very innocently, with David and Joe talking about waterproof watches and looking at some old photos of themselves. But when Joe tells David about the Massive Attack concert he went to recently, it turns out he saw a few people taking drugs there. It made him feel pretty uncomfortable at the time and he admits it’s something that’s always baffled him. Seizing his chance, David then tries to find out exactly what Joe does and doesn’t know about recreational drug use. So the topic for the rest of the episode is set - and it’s a right Chatabix drugs-fest.

Joe’s just back from a trip to the Isle of White where he over-ate and also had quite a few compliments from the locals about The Cockfields. Being a big supporter of the RNLI, he also took the opportunity to visit their station in Bembridge and tells David about watching one of the boats launch. Then for some reason, David remembers that David Walliams has swam the English Channel and so they want to find someone who’s done that too, to ask them what it’s like. Talk then inevitably turns to moving to the Isle of White and also, who gets the ball rolling on discussions about stuff like that with their wives. They then consider loads of other locations across the UK as possibilities to relocate to - so much so that it soon develops into a ‘yes or no’ game show.

It’s Friday folks - and definitely time for some more emails from the Chatabiscuits. So, after a quick revelation from Joe that he recently went to a Massive Attack concert (much more on that in a future episode hopefully), we read messages about a listener’s band, an embarrassing audio recording from David’s past, a rather awkward situation about an ignored tattoo and some lovely information about three different blue plaques.

As David’s returning to St Ives for another visit soon, Joe tells him about the time he went to the Tate gallery there. So they discuss some of the art it has and David recounts an afternoon he spent in the town, visiting cosy little art galleries and chatting to a few of the artists. Then he imagines setting a up podcast studio there - much to the annoyance of the other artists. He also visited the beautiful seaside village of Zenner, and tells Joe about that too. So talk inevitably turns to moving to Cornwall again. Finally, as they’re keen to speak to someone who lives in St Ives, they put a call out to the Patreons. And as luck would have it, James does and has lived all his life there. So joins them on Zoom to tell them about it - lovely.

Picking up from the previous episode, David and Joe continue with their art discussion and firstly consider what it takes to be good at photography. Moving on, they then have a think what their favourite artworks are, discuss Picasso’s Three Dancers, wonder at the brilliance of Bob Dylan’s paintings and worry about coming across as pretentious. David also selects a few more episode titles for Joe to start painting and tries his hand at teaching Joe how to be better at painting. Art-world stardom awaits!

David’s just ordered a load of fancy new pens, as he started doing sketches of Cornish cottages whilst on holiday and properly got into it. In an amazing co-incidence, it turns out Joe’s recently started drawing again too - great minds think alike and all that. He’s also been wondering about painting pictures based on old episode titles of the pod, and the first one he wants to attempt is ‘Being Skinny and Having Lunch With Linda Lusardi’. Which is an occasion David remembers well, so he starts describing the details for Joe to sketch.

Delving into the Chatabix mailbag once again, we read emails about an actor who was in the Only Fools & Horses spin-off show, advice about weight loss, American football, opinions on Horsham, a very eventful summer job in a London hotel, a suggestion to add tension to David and Joe’s Pyramid game, camper van hassles and John Challis’s house.

It’s a wonderful day at Chatabix Towers as Natalie Cassidy is back with David and Joe for a good old natter. And it’s a proper family affair to begin with as she’s joined by her husband Mark and one of their daughters too. They all spent the night camping in the garden. They soon both need to leave to pack up the tents, but not before Davids takes the chance to ask Mark a few questions about being a camera operator at Wimbledon. Then, it’s onto the chatting proper and Nat updates us on a new series she’s filming, how things are going with her podcasts and what working with Ricky Gervais was like. Plus, David hosts an exciting Eastenders quiz and Nat tells us all about how her career got started. It’s one bumper of an episode!

During David’s recent holiday in Cornwall, he visited the St Ives Museum where he discovered some spooky family history. So he tells Joe all about it, along with plenty more of the Cornish delights that he learnt about at the museum. So sit tight for some wonderful tales from the past, such as the story of the Hearts Ice Cream brothers, the history of the Sloop Inn and the origins of the good old Cornish Pasty. Plus, we meet Podcast Man - a decidedly lacklustre superhero.

Worst news - David has hurt his leg and had to cancel his long-planned Two Moors Walk, right before he was supposed to start it. And when he explains what’s happened, it sounds like Joe had exactly the same injury a few years ago. So they compare notes on their symptoms. The big question is though, will David still keep his B&B bookings so he doest lose out on the money he’s paid for them? It’s a huge disappointment and a tough decision to make, so there’s a lot to discuss.

Andy is back on the Bix! And it’s been such a long time - so David and Joe are really keen to find out what he’s been up to. Well, as it happens he’s just back from America where he somehow manage to play in the US Nine-Ball Pool Open in Atlantic City. It was undoubtably the trip of a lifetime for him so he tells us all. And with all the deviations and distractions that the three of them always have when chatting, the story takes up the whole of the show. Plus, a whole lotta chat about 80’s chocolate adverts. Lovely stuff.

We left the last episode on a right cliffhanger, so hold on tight for the big reveal - just how did David get on at the Dental Implant Centre?! But this is Groundhog Day podding after all, so you know the drill - plenty more repetitious dentistry chat. And stay tuned for some properly dramatic news about his Bath move. There’s also a lot of awful 4G reception from David, so apologies for that. All in all, it’s a classic bit of Chatabix.

David’s about to go back to the dentist for some more work on his teeth - or should that be the Dental Implant Centre? Either way, he’s pretty anxious again and speaks to Joe beforehand to explain exactly what he’s having done and how much it’s all costing. They also discuss the awkwardness of teeth whitening, read out some dental surgery reviews, consider death (of course) and wonder if all podcasters are ‘just a bit shit’. Joe also points out that they might be repeating a lot of this from their previous dentist episode, but none-the-less has another go at telling David about his hernia op. It’s a proper Groundhog Day edition of the pod. Make sure to check out part 2 to find out how the appointment went.

In an exciting new addition our Friday Treat shows, David and Joe open up the Chatabix mailbag (well, email account actually) and read out a selection of your recent messages. And some not so recent too, as its been while since they last checked. So you can expect a right mixed bag of suggestions, questions, praise, criticisms and advice from some of our lovely listeners out there. This week’s topics include rollercoasters, mudlarking, American fans and mystery football matches.

Joe went to a friend’s BBQ at the weekend, where all the guests played lots of games in the garden. He knows he got very competitive about it all and fortunately for us, some of the action was filmed. So he reluctantly sends David a few of the video clips for an analysis of his behaviour. And it turns out Joe’s excitement when celebrating was just as embarrassing as he remembers. David digs in to make the most of the discomfort - this is one deliciously awkward episode. Enjoy!

We’re back with David in Bath as he continues his tour of the city - with Joe on Zoom, following him on Google Maps. But they don’t get very far this time as David soon stumbles upon a beautiful cricket ground, right in the centre of town alongside the river. He’s instantly in heaven. He also gets recognised and is offered a cup of coffee while he watches the players warm up for their match. Then it’s a wander along the river Avon, whilst he and Joe imagine what a new life living there would be like. Lovely stuff.

David’s in the beautiful city of Bath for a few days, to scout for a potential new home - so Joe join’s him on Zoom while he has a drive around. With eight house viewings already booked in, David also wants to see some sights and get a feel for the place that he’s rapidly falling in love with. It just so happens that where David is starting off is right near Joe’s mother-in-law’s house, and also where his favourite place in Bath is. So they make sure to include those destinations on the journey. Off they go on their exiting adventure to explore the city… FOR ALL THINGS CHATABIX'Y FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE/CONTACT: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chatabixpodcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/chatabix1 Insta: https://www.instagram.com/chatabixpodcast/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/chatabix Merch: https://chatabixshop.com/ Contact us: chatabix@yahoo.com Learn more about your ad choices.

In some very exciting news, David’s bought a cold tub and of course Joe wants him to get into it on the pod. But for a number of reasons he won’t today, so that’s the end of that for the moment (watch this space). David does have a boxer-size class later in the morning though, so he does some demonstrations for Joe. In true Chatabix fashion, the conversation then spirals off into a whole host of miscellaneous delights. They even have a little competition over how long they can crouch down leaning against a wall for. It’s all go on today’s show.

On today’s show, our very special guest is the world’s best David Brent impersonator, Tim Oliver. So once Joe and David have calmed down after first seeing and hearing him in character (he’s so good it’s all a bit overwhelming), they chat to Tim about how on earth he got into it all. Plus, appearances at work parties, stag-do’s and a even wake, doing 1000’s of Cameo videos, how best to maintain a permanent goatee and the time he got to interview Ricky Gervais himself. It has to be said, Tim is one of the guy’s favourite guests ever - fact!

It’s another electric start to the show with the guys both pumped and ready for action. Not really - this is Monday morning podding after all. Once they eventually wake up and have a chat about their weekends, David reveals that he’s bought a hamster for his son. But unfortunately, he’s already worrying about it dying. So Joe tells him about the sickly dog his family had when he was growing up. It just so happens that David’s really thinking about getting a dog at the moment, so he asks Joe loads of questions about what it’s like to look after one. They don’t quite see eye to eye on the matter and decide to way up the pros and cons - with the picking up of its shit seemingly of primary concern.

Thanks heavens, it’s TV Joe time again. And he’s back with more television-themed quizzes for us. But that’s not before David and Joe have quizzed him on a few things themselves, like what’s it like being a session musician, if he has any good show-biz anecdotes and what music TV shows he’s played on. Plus a bit of cricket scoring chat and some TV news too. Then, it’s on with the wonderful new gameshows - name that theme and name that scene. Quiz-on!

David’s going to the dentist for a filling and is pretty anxious about it as he hasn’t been for ages. So it’s an obvious opportunity to document the whole experience on the pod - this is Chatabix after all. Speaking to Joe beforehand, David’s a little high on nerves and distracts himself by singing some old songs and finding out about the hernia operation Joe had years ago. And they continue the chat as David leaves home and drives to the surgery, in spite of some pretty terrible Wi-Fi. Then finally, with the procedure complete and his mouth still a little numb, David gives Joe a full debrief - and what a brave boy he’s been.

When the guys realise they’ve nothing to talk about on today’s pod, David decides to list all the things that have been on his mind recently. And for some reason, Joe writes them all down. But that thankfully provides the solution to the rest of the show, as he dives in to quiz David about them all - one by one and ticking them off as he goes. Genius podding!

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 thoughts about Joe’s 50th and the guys have a bit of a panic about getting older. Fun times on the pod!

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 ineptitude in helping out with practical matters. We end things on a cliffhanger moment, the morning after Joe’s first stressful night of sleeping in a tent. So make sure you catch part 2 to find out what happened.

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 than the occasional hotel luxury, Joe prefers a trip to the supermarket to buy some fruit and a carton of mini mozzarella balls. Somewhat predictably, this episode contains quite a bit of unraveling… FOR ALL THINGS CHATABIX'Y FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE/CONTACT: You Tube: https://www.youtube.com/@chatabixpodcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/chatabix1 Insta: https://www.instagram.com/chatabixpodcast/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/chatabix Merch: https://chatabixshop.com/ Contact us: chatabix@yahoo.com Learn more about your ad choices.

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 the holiday - along with having to clear up the AirBnB at the end. Then, as David’s no longer moving, a home extension is on the cards at the Earl household. So there’s plenty more for them to discuss as Joe’s already been through the process. But they’re both worried this might be a really boring chat to listen to? Plus, news of a potential new Friday Treat episode about bunking off excuses.

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 thanks to the sterling efforts of his wife Naomi, at least they have a new bathroom to look forward to. Plus, some chat about crappy old jobs and news about Joe joining a gym. Classic Chatabix!

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 too. Then it’s on with the game - which is considerably more difficult than the three of them had expected.

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. The wedding was also in Joe’s home town of Brighton, so he wants to know exactly where and when everything happened. And there’s quite a lot of chat about crying too and surprisingly, some quotes from Gary Neville.

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 how great they were. Then, in a complete change of subject, they excitedly reveal to each other what their latest Mystery Football shirts are, and have a check of the charts too. Well, it’s been a while.

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 playing in a band for a living - and also that their drummer looks a lot like Joe.

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 and an update on the long awaited stag-do that David’s just returned from.

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 of reminiscing about shitty old jobs. Plus, David closes the show by singing a whole James Blunt song - Chatabix drivel at its finest!

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 Emma! Then Joe tells David about his magical day at the ceremony to award Sue Johnston the Freedom Of The City Of Liverpool and also explains why he’s not going to Thorpe Park today to ride the rollercoasters. David then puts a call-out to the Patreons to see who’s been on The Tower Of Power waterslide in Tenerife. After a short wait there are plenty of Chatabiscuits joining them - so let the rollercoaster club commence!

We’re back for the quarter finals of David and Joe’s coin-toss snooker tournament. Although if you remember from last time, they actually use a guitar plectrum rather than a coin - CROCODILE / PLAIN! The players are ready in their dressing rooms and the tension in the auditorium is mounting. Who of the eight young hopefuls will move one step closer to their dream?

After a slightly awkward discussion about how easy it is to get sucked into buying Apple Mac products, David are Joe are thankfully joined by the wonderful Kiell Smith-Bynoe! As you’ll all know, Kiell is a hugely successful actor and comedian and one of the busiest people in showbiz, so they were thrilled he could join them for a chat. Their conversation covers everything from sleeping habits and late night partying to presenting the Great British Sowing Bee and dealing with tiny autocues. Then David remembers about the ‘guest question game’ they played with Roisin Conaty using his ideas board - so Kiell picks his first topic… Make sure to catch Kiell’s group-improv show ‘Kool Story Bro’ at the Edinburgh Festival’s Plesance Theatre this August - or the Brighton Corn Exchange in October.

David’s just booked his 120 mile walk across Dartmoor and Exmoor, so there’s plenty for him to discuss. But first he wants to know why Joe isn’t swimming anymore and things get a little tense. Then Joe has to help Petra with her car, so David outlines his walking route for us while he waits for Joe to return. The conversation then soon gets back on track and David comes up with a plan for Joe to do the same walk in reveres and meet him halfway. David reckons it’d be great to record it all for the pod, but Joe gonna need some convincing about that. Plus, they finish things off with a long overdue look at the charts and invent a spur of the moment quiz about them too.

This is a follow on from last week’s Episode 417, which was all about David's canaling holiday along the Kennet and Avon. He finished the trip in Bath where he then spent a few days - and was about to tell us some exciting news about his thoughts on the city.

Joe’s worried that his hair is getting too long and thinks he should get it cut? But David’s not so sure and reckons he’s starting to look like Jason Momoa- hunky! Swiftly moving on, they have a chat about Joe’s holiday in Corfu before David excitedly recounts his Kennet and Avon canal adventures whilst holidaying in Wiltshire.

Joe’s in Edinburgh and taking a stroll along the canal, so David takes the opportunity to Zoom him for a chat. They reminisce about their times performing at the festival and how little interest they’d have in doing it now. Joe also recalls the year he shared a ‘party house’ with Tiff Stevenson and Jimmy McGhie, and was possibly a little bit grumpy about it all. So he texts them both to try and get them on the pod - which he then immediately regrets… FOR ALL THINGS CHATABIX'Y FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE/CONTACT: You Tube: https://www.youtube.com/@chatabixpodcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/chatabix1 Insta: https://www.instagram.com/chatabixpodcast/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/chatabix Merch: https://chatabixshop.com/ Contact us: chatabix@yahoo.com Learn more about your ad choices.

For this week’s ‘no longer a surprise guest’ repeat show, we return to 2nd November 2022, when David and Joe were joined by the inimitable Tim Vine.

David and Joe text their old friend and Chatabiscuit Jamie Demetriou to find out what it’s like working with big Hollywood stars. While they wait for his reply, they do a de-brief on Joe’s recent Instagram Live experience. And very quickly descend into a good half hour or so of self-loathing and embarrassment about showing off.

After a quick chat about T-shirts, body confidence and weight loss frustrations, David and Joe come up with an idea for a geriatric version of the pod - Chatatxix +30. They want to find two willing (but not too showy) 80 year olds to be the hosts, so put a call-out to the Patrons for some help. Expectation warning: it’s yet another new pod idea that will probably never see the light of day. After all that, they then attempt to do an Instagram Live, live on the podcast - and even manage to get Rob Beckett to join them. Somewhat predictably, it’s bloody chaos!

With a flat tyre and the school run to do, it’s a hectic morning for David. But once that’s all sorted, he finally joins Joe to record the pod and give Petra her leaving present.

Joe and David chat to a lovely police officer called James who is based in a police station in London's east end. The lads absolutely loved chatting to James but quickly realise they don’t really know what a police officer is or does.

A few months ago David spent a few days in a place he booked through a company called Canopy and Stars. He wanged on about it on the pod and they heard and got in touch to see if he wanted to pod from one of their locations. He was sent a few options of interesting places and in this episode he takes Joe to see the one he liked the best. David get's a bit anxious getting out of the car but settles down when he meets the lovely owner Yvette who takes him through woodland to the location. The place David has chosen is incredible and very unusual and has been on George Clarkes Amazing Spaces much to Joe's delight. Yvette tells them all about how she designed the space herself and her husband built it. David takes on the role of estate agent. After the tour Yvette invites David in for a cuppa and he finds himself in a strangers kitchen on a random morning. It’s fair to say he was out of his comfort zone.

You Tube pranksters Josh Pieters & Archie Manners are on the pod and mayhem ensues. They are running late so while Joe and David wait for them to appear they start worrying that they are being pranked. After a few tech issues the lads appear like whirling dervishes telling Joe he looks older than he does on tv. They talk about some of their pranks including flying Katie Hopkins over to Prague to pick up the Campaign to Unify The Nation award. Joe is concerned that they are spending a lot of money on their pranks and wonders how much coin they are left with. Moving on they discuss employing an expensive lawyer so they don't get sued, trying to put Buckingham Palace on Air BNB and Archie admits he didn't turn up for the first record as he was hungover. They suggest doing a tour together called Young v Old and base the live show on memory and eyesight tests. Joe describes the whole experience of recording this ep as being on a rollercoaster without a seatbelt and David get's quite sweaty.

Joe's off on another adventure, this time he's in Cornwall having returned to a special place that brings back fond memories. David has no idea where Joe is in the world despite it being mentioned on numerous pods before and the place that sparked Joe's interest in his latest hobby. After showing David the view and giving him a tour of the holiday home where he is staying Joe's meets up with a new buddy called Russ. The holiday rental is a stones throw from a stunning beach so Joe and his new pal set off down the hill and across sand dunes before submerging David underwater on zoom.

Joe and David both can’t stop saying “can I ask a question” much to Gabby's amusement and then promise that they will try and stop saying it as that's what she's there for. She gives them tips on how to change the subject during an interview. Gabby reminds Joe that she has worked with him before even though Joe thinks he met her in a lift at the Holiday Inn. Gabby goes on to tell them all about her favourite room in the Holiday Inn. Moving on to more meatier topics they ask Gabby what it's like being one of only a few woman working in Sports TV especially in the early days.

Joe is out and about again but this time he is off on an urban adventure ! David tries to guess where Joe is as he comes out of the train station. Apparently they have been speaking about visiting this place for a year and a half but David still doesn't twig. That is until Joe introduces him to a Chatabix regular and then the penny drops. Joe takes David behind the scenes and explains there is a special reason why he has decided to pod from the location today of all days. Joe introduces David to some people who are milling about via zoom and they settle in for a chat about the thing Joe has gone to see and how it all came about. Joe also delivers a long overdue Christmas present.

Joe and David chat to the comic and actor Ted Robbins best known for his roles in Benidorm, Little Britain, The League of Gentleman and Phoenix Nights. Ted tells them about being related to Paul McCartney and what it was like growing up with him and seeing him at family gatherings. He tells them he once watched Paul record at Abbey Road and John Lennon gave him a chocolate rabbit. In between telling them a load of brilliant jokes, Ted tells David & Joe about when he collapsed on stage in front of tens of thousands of people at the Phoenix Nights live show and about the friend that helped save his life.

David's in an air-bnb but the wifi is terrible so he decamps to the car and decides to take Joe on a tour of some of the houses where he used to work as a gardener. The tour predominantly focusses on Twineham and ends up in a motorway service station where David would take his daily nap. He has very little in the way of information for each of the houses but nonetheless Joe finds it all very exciting.

Joe decides to try and break his 1k time again and heads to Brighton seafront for a run. He tells David his personal best for doing 5k is 21.17 so David does the math to work out what Joe needs to do to break his 1k time and then tells Joe that the world record is 2min 11. Joe doesn't think this is relevant as Steve Ovett wasn't podding at the time. They discuss whether Joe can break the 4 minute barrier for 1k and shave 10 seconds off his original time. Joe get's out of the car and gives it a good go as David watches on, offering motivational tips and trying not to giggle. There's an awful lot of huffing, puffing and panting as Joe really goes for it before collapsing on the beach. They bump into Petra and have a little sit on the pebbles. Joe puts his feet in the sea but it's not as warm as it looks. They decide to rebrand these pods as Adventure Pods to try and get people out trying something new. David reveals whether Joe has actually beat his PB or not.

David's in the spinny seat waiting for his surprise guest. He's feeling very anxious and looks to Joe for reassurance. He's been drinking black coffee which is not helping his jitters. When the guest appears David is overwhelmed to see one of his heroes. He's speechless and the only thing he can think of to say is 'Thankyou' and then they start talking about the weather. The guest tells them about a miracle sports gel he has been using which got him back on his feet after some serious injuries. David hasn't got a clue what is going on so continues to stare at the guest before eventually plucking up the courage to ask a series of questions about what is probably one of his most favourite things in the world !

David has had a big package delivered and hasn't got a clue what it is or who it's from. He opens it to find its a load of metal detecting accesories. Joe reveals that the gear has been sent by Peter at LP Metal Detecting to aid David with his detecting adventures. David excitedly unpacks his goodies one by one which include tactical gloves, a tactical bag & water bottle carrier and a Garrett Camouflage Padded Carry Bag to lug his detector around in. David is over the moon despite earlier proclaiming he has everything he needs in life. They wonder about buying some land for David to detect on so he doesn't have to go up the Gallop and Joe asks him how the relationship with the farmer is going.

It's David's 50th birthday and TV Joe has come up with an idea for a special birthday surprise ep following David's pod life since Chatabix first started 3 years ago. David is overwhelmed when TV Joe takes him on a meandering journey down memory lane and plays him messages from old Chatabix guests including Neil Webster the Producer who fired him, Ben Rufus-Green from the Cockfields days, the OG weatherman Vyvyan Almond, the first ever pod guest Ed Gamble, the first ever surprise guest Dermot O'Leary, a boatload of Canal Thursday characters including Mr Taylor, Steve Coogan (ahem or is that the brilliant impressionist Terry Mynett), Rosie from Gigging Diaries, Steve Davis the snooker legend who waved to them at The Crucible and got them back stage at Blur, the one and only game show contestant Paul Gorton, Daniel the jingle maker from Eyes on Legs, Eastenders Natalie Cassidy with some ol'bollox, the actor Martin Freeman (who they still can't believe came on the pod), WW2 historian and bunker hunter Andrew Chatterton and David's sister with some podcast advice !

Joe and David catch up with their old mate comedian Roisin Conaty. While they wait for her they tell each other elephant jokes. Roisin kicks off by telling them about cold water swimming, getting the shits and losing her voice. After swapping loads of funny stories they start taking post-it notes off David’s pin board and talking about whatever is on it, this throws up some even funnier stories including being bullied into touching a stags antlers. They decide Roisin is a wise owl, Joe is an old soul and David is a kid at heart. Joe reminisces about when Roisin used to run a weird little gig in Westminster and he thought she worked for the government. Roisin talks about people having their lights on or off and explains the concept to David before asking them if they went to prison what crime would they have comitted. The chat has whizzed by and Joe and David don’t want it to end but sadly it must.  FOR ALL THINGS CHATABIX'Y FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE/CONTACT: You Tube: https://www.youtube.com/@chatabixpodcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/chatabix1 Insta: https://www.instagram.com/chatabixpodcast/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/chatabix Merch: https://chatabixshop.com/ Contact us: chatabix@yahoo.com Learn more about your ad choices.

David and Joe get excited about the possibility of Joe getting his hair cut live on the pod by Nicky Clarke. Joe's been sent a Dry Robe after his visit to the Wave because he got so cold. David and Joe struggle to find anything to talk about and find themselves talking about the next ep as they can't find anything to talk about in the current ep. Clutching at straws, David shows Joe how he rides his Peloton but Joe finds watching it unbearable and begs him to stop. David carries on riding, bobbing up and down until Joe threatens to turn the camera off. They talk about old jobs they have had and David reminisces about working at a golf club and how many mistakes he made. Joe reminds David that he also worked on a gold course and can't believe that David can't remember this despite telling him 20 times. They compare swishing and green keeping stories and David recalls his boss telling him off for spilling diesel all over the green and killing the grass.

Joe and David have another lovely little catch up with Fenners. Joe is still not comfortable calling him Fenners because he did it too early last time but David is very comfortable with it. Fenners updates Joe and David on his latest charity shop finds. And they all try and work out what Fenners eps can be about if he still wants to be a regular guest. And then they hit on an idea!!! Fenners is going to be the Chatabix fashion advisor. Each week Joe or David are going to tell Fenners what new item of clothing they fancy owning and Fenners is going to go hunting for it and hopefully bag them a bargain. Joe and David will try the item of clothing on and if its not quite right, back to bargain hunting he goes. They decide Fenners will have a 40 quid budget every week.

It's Joe's turn for a surprise guest and he doesn't have a clue who is coming on. After a slightly anxious start, Joe turns away from the screen so he can't see who the guest is. When David tell's him to spin around in the spinny chair for the big reveal Joe doesn't recognise the person in front of him. This is understandable as the guest is not someone you'd recognise but is someone who started an amazing event that happens in 22 countries worldwide. When David reveals who it is, Joe is over the moon as it's someone he's always wanted to talk to about a subject close to his heart. They bed in for a lovely chat.

Joe opens a flat looking parcel, it is a present from the Battle Of The Chatabands winner Mezz Coleman. Mezz has sent Joe her album so he can play it on the retro record player his wife Petra bought him for Christmas. He goes downstairs to play it but things get a bit awkward because the cleaner is in the kitchen. Joe beats a hasty retreat back upstairs to his office. Then David takes Joe on some metal detecting forums and they realise that all metal detectorists either sound like proper metal detectorists or professional golfers. After wondering if women have hobbies, Joe looks at one of his Petra's interior design magazines. They decide it would be nice to use Mezz's song to play them out but after playing it they carry on nattering and the song doesn’t really play them out at all.

At last it has stopped raining so David can take Joe metal detecting. David goes to his his usual field and fires up the kit. Joe is loving it but to say its a slow start is an understatement. They realise they don't really know how the Garrett Pro Pointer works so Joe tries to read out the instructions for David as they go. Excitingly they get a hit and David digs and digs and digs and digs and digs and digs but NOTHING. So they start again which feels like a step back. But eventually they get another hit and believe it or not they find something incredible (a nut and bolt with an Allen Key top). This is just the beginning of David's hunt for gold.

Comedy actress Lolly Adefope is on the pod. Joe and David are delighted to see her and they talk about popping round to her house unannounced and what that would be like. After chatting about what it was like all working together on David and Joe's discontinued sitcom Rovers they ask Lolly what it was like working on Ghosts, a sitcom that did get recommisioned multiple times. Lolly tells them how she cried on the last day of filming Ghosts and how much she loved working on it. They talk about Lolly being in Mission Impossible (as a typist) and doing a scene with Tom Cruise slamming into the window behind her. She tells them she is the same height as Tom and what a lovely man he is as he gave her a compliment. They make her recreate her audition piece on the pod while they watch and give her direction. Lolly asks them about Paul Gorton and The Traitors connection. After telling them about her new Superhero's project, Joe asks her what it's like to be flown to LA for filming. They worry they haven't made the most of the time with Lolly and have asked her too many silly billy questions.

David is 5 mins late for recording this episode as he's busy eating scrambled eggs so while Joe waits he chats to the listeners about Davids 50th birthday present possibly arriving live on the pod. When David turns up he is concerned that this episode is going nowhere, that is until the present arrives and the whole ep is turned on its head. Joe has bought him a Garrett Pro Pointer which is a tool to help with his metal detecting. David is over the moon with his new prober and is keen to try it out so he takes Joe with him to the field where he has been metal detecting.

David has bought a metal detector and was going to take Joe out to experience his new found hobby but it’s pissing down and apparently the machine doesn’t work very well in the rain. So instead David tells Joe all about how much fun he had yesterday when he went metal detecting with the family. David tells Joe that he couldn't pluck up the courage to ask a farmer for permission to use the detector in their field so he got his wife Naomi to ask. They discuss why Naomi agreed to be the one to knock on the farmers door even though it's David's hobby. Continuing his story David tells Joe how they all climbed the fence to get in the field and within 5 minutes of firing up the dector found a Hay Rack Tine. David and Joe aren't really sure what this is. The metal detecting series is to be continued... what will David find next ?

David and Joe are delighted to chat to old comedy pal Alex Lowe. They insist he does some of his characters including Barry from Watford. David and Joe then give it a go themselves, trying to copy Barry's mad voice with not much success as they are laughing too much. They ask Alex where he gets his ideas from for his fantastic characters and then discuss his time on the brilliant Phoenix Nights with Peter Kaye and want to know what it was like doing a live show version in an enormous arena. Alex is great fun and divulges a couple of show business secrets which Joe and David obviously lap up. Alex Lowe is an English actor, comedian and voice artist. He is the creator and performer of the character Barry from Watford on Steve Wright's BBC Radio 2 show and Iain Lee's shows, as well as also being the creator and performer behind the character Clinton Baptiste, originally seen in Phoenix Nights as whom he has since toured.

Joe shows David his magnet fishing set and David shows Joe his metal detecting apparatus. They are very excited about their new bits of kit. Joe imagines what it would be like to magnet fish a blue metal teapot out of a river and discovers there are regulations about where you can and can't use a magnet. They both worry about where they are going to do their new found hobbies and how embarrassing it is going to be. Joe helps David with some role play and pretends to be the farmer as David asks if he can metal detect on his land. They get a bit sidetracked when a bomb shell relevation hits them like a ton of lead. Nat Cassidy has a new podcast out and it sounds really good and its pushed Chatabix even further down the charts.

Joe is off an adventure and zoom's David to show him where he is. It takes David a while to cotton on to where Joe is and what he is doing there. He's in the west country and near what looks like a big mass of water that isn't the sea. David thinks he can see canoe's in the background but Joe points out some waves and a wave making machine. After revealing where he is, Joe changes into what can only be described as a gimp suit. Joe is taken off by an instructor for a lesson while David watches on providing commentary on Joe's progress. It's cold, it's wet, it's exhausting but Joe's emerges from the water happy as larry, triumphantly punching the air, mid life crisis in full swing !

Joe and David chat with Tommie Trelawny (who they've nicknamed Puzzle man) about his new bonkers podcast The Worlds Hardest Puzzle which follows his year long investigation into the complex and mysterious Cicada 3301 puzzles. He tells the lads all about the mad adventures he went on trying to find out who was behind the cryptic post that appeared online seeking 'highly intelligent individuals'.

David tells Joe about his flirty window cleaning client that he had to deal with in the 90s who kept stroking his hands. They discuss whether this was appropriate behaviour for a client and what they would do if their wives held hands with the window cleaner. Then they introduce a new section called 'Leg Up' where they help promote a new venture or anyone that needs a leg up. Joe's friend has just started a jock strap business called Sticky Beard and secretly sent David a sample so they talk about this and how David thought it was someone else who had sent it to him. Joe has to restart his computer because he can hear his voice echoing in his own head.

David takes Joe out for a supposedly scary trip along the remote roads of Dartmoor looking for the spirits and ghosts that are said to inhabit the county of Devon. Annoyingly it's not very dark but David still hopes they will come across the legendary 'Hairy Hands' on the B3212. Joe and David discuss that Josh Widdicombe has spoken about the tale of 'Hairy Hands' on quite a few different tv shows so they text him and he kindly joins them for a quick chat about it all. Josh goes on to tell them about another well known landmark on Dartmoor, a small burial ground called Jay’s Grave where fresh flowers mysteriously appear. Joe and Josh think that would have been a better place for David to have visited but David doesn’t agree.

Joe and David meet Rock'n Rolls favourite magician Ben Taylor, a brilliant and funny magician who is also a mod hence his name 'The Magic Mod'. The wonder of magic never fails to enthrall and it's not long before they've regressed back to being excited children delighted to see Ben's magic tricks up close. Joe tries to narrate the tricks so listeners can enjoy them too, however this is harder than it looks so you might just have to listen to the lads enjoy them instead. The Magic Mod's love of magic is incredibly infectious and Joe and David have a super time in his company, impressed not only by his tricks but his quick one liners and piss-takes as well. There’s also chat about coming from the same neck of the woods as David, being a mod, how he got into magic, his love for Paul Daniels and teaching magic to Paul Weller's kids. Ben reveals he's now a member of the magic circle which is MODgic (another brilliant one liner !)

David and Joe start worrying about their interviewing technique so David has the idea to listen back to some snippets of old interviews and see how they are behaving and its not good. They start opening up about how they feel while they are interviewing and all their insecurities pour out. David worries he says 'yeah' too much and Joe worries he giggles unnecessarily. After much squirming they come to the conclusion that Josh Widdicombe and Rob Beckett are much better at it cause they are really quick and funny. Joe and David decide they can’t compete with such professional podders.

David does some impressions for Andy who then does his best woody woodpecker impression. They talk about their first crushes, age gap love and fancying their mates mum. Joe discloses his first crush was Helen Mirren which they are confused about as figure if Joe was 8, Helen would have been about 30. Talk turns to toilet habits and they time how long it takes Joe to go for a wee. Other topics in today's Andyathon include being embarrased at the doctors, getting told bad news but having to get on with stuff, not losing weight after taking aloe vera, doing the 24 hour pod, Joe wearing a dress as Madame Haystacks, giving up drinking and going on a charity bike ride together. Andy does a couple of magic tricks which David struggles to get his head round and they play an anagram game.

David & Joe try to do a Peloton based pod (which David's been dying to do for ages as he's bought one) but David’s feeling poorly and it falls flat. Despite feeling ill David manages to talk through the features of his Peloton bike but as he's not very close to the mic it becomes frustrating for Joe. They agree this isn't making the most of the Peloton ep and decide to try again another time. Moving on they discuss a YouTube video that takes the piss out of podcasters but decide that they are too quirky so don't need to worry about it effecting them. David thinks he might have covid and if he does, they can bonafide look back at this ep and realise that's why it was so low energy.

David and Joe have an even cosier chat than normal with regular guest, Eastenders actor Natalie Cassidy. Nat talks about her recent juicing experience before revealing she has two kitchens. This blows David's mind who thinks having multiple kitchens should be celebrated. Nat analyses some previous pod episodes saying that TV Joe didn't offend her at the Chatabix Christmas party when he was hungover and David shouldn't have walked out of the Spa Day. They have a go at doing some accents but Joe doesn't join in for some reason. After agreeing how bloody lovely it is to catch up and see each other again, David invents a new feature called feather plumping.

Joe and David have planned a lovely surprise for their wives for Valentines Day. Naomi and Petra are very surprised at the surprise. David's written a song for them but is too embarrassed to play it so he reads out some of the lyrics. While waiting for Naomi to get home, Joe asks about David's Peleton. David wants to keep this for another episode so the conversation becomes quite frustrating. You can hear the song 'We Love Our Wives' song David has written at the end of this episode even though their wives haven't heard it !

David is worried they have nothing to talk about until Joe reveals that an old ‘pathetic’ tweet he put out has come back to haunt him. Hearing this, David is in heaven. Joe opens up to David, admitting that he fancied going for a dance after hearing a remix of a song by Lionel Richie in a beach cafe-bar. They delve into why Joe can't show he is enjoying music and why they become such different people when they go on holiday.

This is the second part of David and Joe's chat with former Soccer AM presenter John Fendley 'Fenners'. The ep starts off more football heavy and Fenners tells them what it was like working on Soccer AM with Jimmy Bullard. David continues with his quick fire questions starting with 'the footballer that surprised you most at how good they were' ? Then they get derailed when John tries to sell them an iphone 12 case for £10 including delivery. They decide Fenners would make a great sales man for their new podcast Bootsale Bobby. After showing them Pele's signed football shirt John opens his special autograph folder to show David & Joe but can't remember which footballers signatures they are. This sparks an idea for another new podcast.

While they are waiting for David to come on the zoom, Joe and TV Joe plan next years christmas party. TV Joe apologises for snapping at Natalie Cassidy when he was hungover at the last Chatabix christmas party. As they continue to wait, it becomes clear that David has forgotten they are podding. When David eventually appears he is outside a not so luxury spa that he has walked out of because he felt too uncomfortable. It transpires he went to the spa for the day with his wife Naomi and got the days muddled thinking TV Joe was on the following week. After some digging about why they left the spa early it seems that David's perception of events don’t quite tally up with his wifes. Joe makes David take Naomi for a pub lunch.

It's so good to have Paul Gorton back in the bosom of Chatabix once again after his appearance on BBC1 show The Traitors series 2. Joe and David try to think of some questions that Paul hasn’t already been asked in the hundreds of interviews he's done since leaving the show. David is overwhelmed by the weight of what to ask. Paul tells them how he’s coping with his new found fame. He's actually loving it. They ask Paul the million dollar question everyone wants to know, 'is the turret real' ? After his success as a traitor on the telly box, discussion turns to what's next for Paul. This segues nicely into Joe and David’s new show idea ‘Rising Star.’ It’s great to have Paul back for a (long) chat and he doesn’t disappoint.

David is in heaven when he meets Tony Guyan who was the floor manager of Fawlty Towers from many years ago. When Joe and David find out it was Tony's job to rearrange the letters on the Fawlty Towers sign at the start of each ep to ‘Flowery Twats’ they freak out. Tony tells them about one of the shows most iconic scenes and how it was his job to give John Cleese a choice of branches to whack the broken down car with, standing just off camera to hand them to him. This blows their mind even further. Regrettably, Tony tells them he turned down an offer to work on the second series for a tv show none of them can remember. He also once forgot Bernard Cribbins name at a very crucial moment. If you're a fan of TV nostalgia and old sitcoms you'll love this ep as much as David and Joe.

Desite his heavy breathing David manages to tell Joe a story about a guy who saw him on the beach in Antigua who said he looked strong.

David starts with a rant about The Rest Is Politics and how good they are compared to Chatabix. They talk about doing a live show and what it might look like, then talk themselves out of it. David says he could be persuaded if Joe insisted but is concerned it wouldn't be good value for money. David had a shout out for his son on Talk Sport and Joe discovers he's got the same floor tiles as Andy Goldstein has in the bog. After discussing this ep, they decide it really isn't good enough and David worries it will scupper his chances of buying a villa in Antigua. They decide to rally the troups by doing a heart felt plea to the listeners asking them to share the pod and leave (only good) reviews. Moving on David tells Joe about trashing a hotel room when he was 18 on a football tour. Disclaimer: if his mums listening, he had a minor role and only threw toilet rolls.

They worry it's only a matter of time before people catch on they don't know what they are doing. Moving on they talk about stand up and doing twitch.

Joe’s not sure if he wants to know about David’s recent holiday but they plough on, talking about how comfortable David felt having his top off. David calls himself Big Daddy D and they chat about how lovely it is swimming in the sea even if you hate your body. David tells Joe how he got carried away on holiday and bought a local antiguan bracelet which felt right at the time but embarrassing when you get it home. They try to work out what size house the Off Menu pod could afford in Antigua.  David tells Joe how he paid ridiculously over the top for breakfast and was driven to a cash point because he was too embarrassed to say 'this all feels a bit fishy'. They also worry they do too much podding as struggle to relax and do normal stuff without thinking about how it will affect the pod.

Specialist guest George Aitken was in the Royal Navy Submarines for 10 years. David & Joe have a thousand questions for him but start with small talk about coming from the Isle Of Wight, filming in Lymington and Howards Way. David gets claustrophobia and wants to know about people who have lost their minds on board, how much space he'd have down there and what would happen if he had a panic attack. George tells them there are 100 or more crew living in a confined space and it can get a bit stinky. Joe reckons he would be fine living in a tube underwater as it would be cosy. They talk about stalking other submarines to gain intel and using mini subs to get to the surface to undertake secret missions James Bond style. David asks if they've ever come across an unidentified mass on the sonar. George says this is usually a whale or a giant squid mating with the submarine. Joe asks if there is any truth behind the saying of having a girl in every port.

Steve kicks off by telling Joe that Roachford is playing in Brighton. They listen to each song in turn giving their opinion on each one. Joe thinks the first song is grungy, Steve thinks it has high energy while David struggles to review it as feels like a pratt. Joe thinks he loves the 2nd song. David tries to talk him out of liking it despite liking it himself and it reminding him of Biff Bang Pow. Steve agrees with Joe. Scores on the doors Joe gives 7.5, David gives an 8, Steve also gives an 8. David decides he's a punk as the final song sounds like the Pogues.

The first round of Battle Of The Chatabands - Joe & David have teamed up with music producer Steve Baker for an exciting new mini- series. They've asked for unpublished bands / songwriters to send songs to Chatabix and have chosen three at random to play live on the pod. One of the bands will get chosen to go through to the grand final at the end of the year (which hopefully will be judged by someone from the muso industry). The bands will be revealed live on the pod. David pretends he's submitted one of the songs. Joe struggles to review the songs from a technical perspective and David realises he's not very good at reviewing music. Luckily Steve Baker has a good technical and musical ear. Joe asks what would have happened if Lewis Capaldi hadn't been invented and gets confused between A&R and A&E. After much umming and ahhing they score each song for tingle factor but only one makes it through to the final.

It's the second part of Joe's surfing story but before they pick up where they left off the lads have a little romanticise about what life would be like doing the pod if Joe was a surf dude and David was a muso tinkering with his guitar all day. Joe tells David about nervously walking along the beachfront in Carlsbad with a rolled up towel under his arm to meet Rusty who he has booked the surf lesson with. On arrival Joe's asked to change into a wetsuit which throws up loads of uncomfortable feelings and Joe secretly wishes the lesson would get cancelled as the waves are too big. As Joe enters the ocean the instructor Mark asks him if he's ever surfed before. Joe tells him no, definitely not, not even skateboarded mate, in the vague hope that he'd be impressed by how quick he picks it up. The midlife crisis has fully kicked in. Joe's about to ride his first wave - part 3 out on Thursday 2nd Nov.

Joe confesses he struggles to say LAX as it's embarrasing and babbles on about the Hollywood Sign, seeing Jared Leto's house and the 9 lane traffic on the freeway. Eventually they get to the meaty bit when Joe reveals he's had a surfing lesson at the end of the holiday. David is all ears. The discussion turns to mid life crisis's and Joe's surfboard being akin to David's new guitar. Joe tells David that he felt empowered having his surf lesson but now just feels embarrassed.

Picking things up again, the talk turns to game shows, Lee’s brilliant 1% Club, Joe and David’s Pyramind idea and pitching new shows.

There’s also some reminiscing about the 90’s stand-up scene, Lee’s early days starting out in comedy, the pleasures of podding and bizarrely, some damaged cushions that Joe and David begrudgingly agree to replace.

It’s David’s turn to go on location for the pod and in spite of the very shaky G4 signal, he’s talking Joe to one of his favourite places - Dartmoor.

There he plans to hike up to the top of the hill and show Joe the spectacular views. Beautiful!
