Chatabix

In this old episode from the archives, we couldn't record a Chatabix on that morning - so thought we'd upload a pilot of a new podcast idea.

On this week's show, we read emails about getting told off as an adult, a paid for cover version of Happy Happy Girl, a secret tunnel under Gillingham, a very interesting farm leaflet, an edible munching CEO, beach hut repairs and lot a praise for Joe. Plus a very confusing quip to end on.

Joe’s convinced he’s already told David about his 50th birthday trip to Paris - but David’s not sure he’s heard the whole story and definitely wants more of the details. So somewhat reluctantly, Joe recounts his and Petra’s four day holiday, in as much depth as possible. But he soon gets distracted by a new pair of trousers he now regrets buying and then a growing disappointment that he’s not more dynamic when planning and being on holidays. As you might expect, a fair amount of unravelling then ensues and there's a load more angst about turning 50 too.

It’s the third part of David’s holiday tales trilogy. But before that, Joe has a bit of a moan about seeing someone graffitiing in Brighton the previous evening, which got him very riled up indeed. Then once that’s out of the way, David finally recounts his wonderful visit to Stan Laurel’s old house in Ulverston, Cumbria. But we’ll leave it up to you to decide just how wonderful it actually was?

Following David’s recent tales from the Lake District, in this episode he tells Joe about more family trips to Cheddar Gorge in Somerset - with stories about caves, gorges, pricy admission tickets, edgy vibes and ice cream shop wars. And then to Longleat Safari Park in Wiltshire, where he spent a wonderful day in and amongst the gazelles, lions, rhinos, emus and monkeys. Plus an invisible Elephant called Ann.

Well, this is a very important episode from the Chata-vaults - the very first Canal Thursdays. And what better way to kick things off than by choosing our first narrowboat to buy.

On today’s slightly shorter but oh so sweet Mailbag show, David and Joe read messages about a very interesting shell grotto, the return of old pub jokes, a Chataiscuit marathon runner, Joe’s Galaxy Pugs voiceover and a singer who sounds a lot like him too.

David’s recent family holiday included a trip to the Lake District, which he totally fell in love with. Whist there they visited the former home of the children’s writer Beatrix Potter, which was an equally magical experience. So for this episode, he settles in and recounts the whole story to Joe, in his own inimitable style. ‘Can we have some music here James please’.

Joe’s done it again and lined up another brilliant surprise guest for David. But this time, we’re so excited to have this person on the show that we couldn’t wait to reveal who it is you. We’re joined by the amazing Keith Brymer Jones - pottery expert, ceramics designer and beloved host of The Great Pottery Thrown Down. As you’ll all know, David is one of Keith’s biggest fans and utterly obsessed with the show. So once he’s calmed down from the surprise, he can’t wait to get all nerdy about pottery and discover lots of the backstage details from Keith. Let’s get those pottery wheels spinning!

Andy Goldstein is back! And it’s been quite a while since David and Joe last spoke to him, so there’s plenty for them to catch up on. Amongst all the usual chaos, they discuss David’s recent visit to the Manchester United stadium, Andy’s golfing holiday, favourite board games, Joe going on Mastermind, the prospect of playing a waiter in a film, some fascinating Bond facts and a brilliant new game about guessing the length of an animal - Nose To Arsehole. It’s one bumper of an episode!

After a slightly embarrassing chat about calling into radio shows and writing letters to podcasts, David and Joe read messages about a dildo on a beach, a load more lovely quips, an idea for a TV show, an offer of some free breathe coaching (whatever the heck that is?) and a nasty bone break in Bristol.

In further ‘just turned 50’ revelations, Joe’s decided he wants to start volunteering to help out in the community and give little more back. So this time, he’s less of the vigilante and much more about charity. Then in other news, David tried to surprise his wife on Mothering Sunday with a car full of balloons - but got a load of grief from a grumpy old-timer about his bad parking. Charming! Plus, Joe’s been up to more high-quality quipping at a recent Park Run.

In this episode, Joe reveals to David his new-found attitude to fighting crime and tackling antisocial behaviour. Since turning 50, he’s decided enough is enough and is full of a new confidence to put the louts in their place. There’s a new vigilante in town - and he’s called Super J! Then, in a swift left turn, David tells Joe about his recent visit to the Pottery Throw Down set in Stoke-on-Trent. And then gives us an update on his progress with ditching his smart phone.

It’s the first time that the guys have spoken since Joe’s 50th Birthday. So David’s keen to hear how Joe’s feeling about reaching his first century and also find out what he did to celebrate. It turns out that he and Petra went to Paris for a few days, which they both loved and Joe even tried speaking some French. As luck would have it, David’s wife Naomi is a fluent French speaker, so she joins them to check out how well that all went.

It’s time for Part 2 of Joe’s 50th Birthday celebrations. So you can expect plenty more wonderful treats from David and TV Joe’s ‘Audio Bags’ of delights.

It’s been a long old run up, but it’s finally Joe’s 50th Birthday and to celebrate, David and TV Joe have something very special planned for him. This is all a complete surprise to Joe though, as he thinks he’s just playing a little quiz with David. So stay tuned to find out what it’s all about and what on earth an ‘Audio Bag’ is. David and TV Joe have three of them to go through - so it’s definitely gonna have to be a 2-part episode.

Joe’s looking after his friend’s dog Barney, so kicks off today’s show by introducing him to David - and they all get on wonderfully. Then, after some chat about broken Americana session cassettes, David buying a shed and sharing office space with a pottery wheel, it’s onto the main topic of the show. David’s invented a quiz where he and Joe will try to guess the dates of old Chatabix episodes - which sounds considerably duller than it turns out to be. Game on!

Picking up from yesterday’s cliffhanger, David and Joe are now gonna play their ‘Idea Cards Game’ - where they randomly pick a conversation topic from the writing prompt boards they both have on their walls. So, amongst other subjects, you can expect some high calibre chat about old flats, very strange neighbours, broken bones and finally hoarding - which leads onto a very deep dive into David’s Americana Sessions.

Joe’s come up with a game called Podmasters, where the contestant is played up to 10 seconds from a top 50 iTunes Comedy Chart show and has to guess which one it is. There are various other rules and point scoring possibilities, but we won't go into all those now as they get quite convoluted. More importantly, guess who the first contestant is going to be? Buckle up David, this is going to be one fun-packed quiz!

David’s got a snotty cold so doesn’t have much to offer today. But thankfully, Joe went on a baking course over the weekend, which Petra had bought him as a Christmas present. So he’s happy to take the reins for the episode and tell David everything about it. But they also stumble across a few bad reviews of the pod - so we’ll have to wait and see if that knocks Joe’s confidence with his story telling… 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: [email protected] Learn more about your ad choices.
