Chatabix

It’s an introspective episode today as Joe and David investigate some of their numerous insecurities - such as worrying about not being likeable (both on and off the pod), very variable confidence, whether they’re nice guys, low intelligence levels and having verbal diarrhoea. It’s quite the therapy session! Plus, David explains how he might be meeting Dawn French soon, Joe’s reveals his latest quip, there’s a quick One In A Million from a friend of the pod and we celebrate our recent Instagram success.

It’s the one you’ve all been waiting for - David finally gets his chance to ask Joe about co-starring in the Waitrose Christmas advert. And more importantly, what it was like kissing Keira Knightly? What with him being in one of the biggest adverts of the year and the huge success of The Celebrity Traitors, this really has been Joe’s Midas month! So settle back and relax as Joe, somewhat reluctantly, tells David how he’s feeling about his newfound fame.

On today’s fun-packed Mailbag show, David and Joe read messages about a film and television scenery painter, thanks from a retiring builder, a few more quips, observations on Joe visiting Princess Diana’s memorial flowers, some Italian translations, Canary Islands life and having parents with the same name. Plus, an offer from Cameo (the personalised video service, not the 80's band) and David tries to get ChatGPT to write a funny story - spoiler alert, it doesn’t do very well.

On today’s show, the guys analyse some of their strange behaviour when speaking with guests on the pod - beginning with the very blunt opener from David when they were joined by the lovely Dermot O’Leary. They then wonder if their rather chaotic approach to recording Chatabix ends up confusing many of the listeners and what they could do to improve things. They also take a look back at some old episode, discuss more about Joe’s dog poo app and David introduces us to the Misery Train. Don’t worry, it’s not as depressing as it sounds.

Joe’s filming in Manchester at the moment, where he happened to bump into fellow Celebrity Traitors contestant David Olusoga, who’s staying at the same hotel. So he tells David (Earl) what a lovely moment that was and how nostalgic it made him feel. They also chat about not having much to talk about every autumn and look back at some old Chatabix episode titles from this time last year. Then, as Joe’s recording new Cats Does Countdown shows, David finally takes his opportunity to ask Joe about how it’s all put together. That’s until the conversation gets totally derailed by a scandalous bit of gossip - which obviously has to be honked out.

Well, this episode starts off promisingly enough, with some chat about a great boy band TV documentary that David’s currently watching. But then Joe’s Wi-Fi has a complete meltdown and things become pretty chaotic for quite some time. At least we have David to sings us some Take That songs whilst Joe does a bit of fault finding with his router. So hold tight, this one’s gonna be a bumpy ride - crunch crunch!

In this week’s selection from the Mailbag, we read messages about boisterous scaffolders, an Olympic swimming team let-down, a regular work quip and a quip fail, the offer of some acting work, a case put forward for the clinical use of cannabis and an embarrassing video of David making some football predictions.

At first Joe and David fear they’ve nothing to talk about on today’s show. But then Joe mentions he’s just been on BBC Breakfast to discuss The Celebrity Traitors, so obviously David wants to know all about that. The talk then moves onto doing Zoom calls on TV, some belated and very out of date chat about who will win Traitors, a potential new TV show for Joe Mahler, Phil Kay in a bath tub at the top of a pole in Forest Row, prank emails, going viral and a quick check of the charts.

Before the guys start recording a new episode of One In A Million, Joe wants to tell David about his idea for a One In A Million TV gameshow. So he pitches the full concept to David but has a pretty tough time convincing him of its potential. And more importantly, will any TV execs - let alone Richard Osman - have any interest in buying and developing the show further? See what you think - could it be the new king of primetime Saturday night gameshows???

David’s driving to a voiceover recording session this morning and of course Joe joins him on a Zoom call to have a chat along the way. So there’s lots of talk about what exactly he’ll be doing for the job and how he’ll behave for it.

Picking up from yesterday’s episode and the subject of miserable colds, Joe tells David about a reliable remedy that the comedian Mark Simmons uses to fight off the winter bugs. Then, after discussing how much they love Mark’s stand-up and his brilliant and very quick off-the-cough one liners, they decide to find out if they’re any good at coming up with some themselves. After a few early successes, they soon realise that it’s a little harder than they thought - but plough on regardless.

As you might have noticed, there’s been a distinct lack of podding at Chatabix towers for the past few weeks. But David and Joe are back and here to tell you all about what’s been happening. Well, mainly suffering from various illnesses and lots of other important stuff going on in their lives at the moment. The timing of which could not have been worse, what with Joe being in Celebrity Traitors, of course. So, with only the final still left to broadcast (at the time of recording), David and Joe take the opportunity to finally catch up on their debriefs of the show. Plus, Joe’s tells us his idea for an app and recounts a very odd experience he had at a recent Park Run. Apologies and advance for all the coughing and spluttering.

Following on from yesterday’s episode, it’s time for more chat about our old work bosses. Well, that was the plan but in true Chatabix fashion, David and Joe soon get diverted from the task at hand. So instead you can expect discussions about David’s old VHS copy of MMA fights, not doing much work as a petrol station attendant in the 90s, travel plans, Joe’s fears of Thailand and David’s long forgotten dreams about moving to Antigua.

David and Joe’s chat for the first half of the episode includes podcast sponsorship, getting free stuff, abandoned hobbies, looking busy (whilst not being busy) and the smoke and mirrors involved in press releases. During all of which, Joe realises he doesn’t have an actual boss and really appreciates it. He then tells David about a Direct Debit that he’s unknowingly been paying for months. He reckons he’s been scammed and is absolutely furious about it!

After chatting about a dream David had the previous night and Joe discovering he’s much more confident recording intros to pods than the actual pods themselves - they soon realise they’ve nothing to talk about for the rest of the episode. So they return to discussing their new TV show and more specifically, what an emotional roller coaster ride the filming was for David. A heady mix of discomfort, then comfort, then discomfort about feeling comfortable about it - plus quite a bit of bickering with Joe too. So, all pretty much Chatabix business as usual then.
