Chatabix

It’s about time we had another Mailbag episode - so here it is! We kick things off with a whole load of quips and also do some analysis of Joe’s constant giggling. Then read messages about Pottery Throw Down, teaching Joe about weed, a prank on Michaela Strachan’s TV show, a sneaky One In A Million, some Inspector Lynley info and a Totness one night stand.

It’s Celebrity Traitors time again and hot off the press, here’s David and Joe’s debrief of last night’s Episode 3.

Well the wait is over as the brilliant actor Mark Bonnar finally join’s David and Joe to discuss all things Inspector Lynley. And most importantly, what he thought of David’s performance and behaviour on that fateful evening filming his scene in Series 6 Episode 2 of the show - Know Thine Enemy. As well as all that, he also chats about playing a killer on Taggart, working with Ridley Scott & Joaquin Phoenix on Napoleon, self-tapes, auditioning, dealing with rejection, David’s Midas-month and moody film-set technicians. It’s a proper Chatabix classic!

David and Joe have just finished filming their new TV series for U&Gold, which will be out next year. They’ve been asked by the channel to record something about it on the podcast, which can then be used as promotion for the show. So David and Joe give it their best shot to concisely explain the premise, but are predictably un-nerved by the task and soon lose confidence in themselves. That's until Joe has the idea to ask the show’s producer James Fidler to join them on the Zoom call to help out with things. After which things run a lot more smoothly - thanks James!

Joe’s now watched two more episodes of Clarkson’s Farm - and is absolutely loving it! So he and David are back to discuss even more about the show and the man himself, Jeremy Clarkson. They’re both a little bit in awe of him but are now seriously regretting having a go at his Top Gear and Grand Tour shows. And wonder if they’ve blown their chances of him ever wanting to be a guest on Chatabix. Later in the show, they imagine what it would be like to appear on Clarkson’s Farm themselves and also come up with a plan to teach him about podcasting.

As you might well know, David is a fully committed member of the Clarkson’s Farm fan club - he thinks it’s just wonderfully cosy TV. But Joe wasn't convinced he’ll like it and in spite of David’s encouragement, still hadn't gotten around to giving it a go. That is until now, as he’s finally watched the first episode! So settle in for Joe’s full review - did he like it, will he watch more and will they ever manage to get Jeremy Clarkson to be a guest on the Chatabix?

It’s archive episode time! And in this one, whilst David and Joe wait for their guest to turn up (who doesn’t) they have to think on their feet.

David’s recently discovered an ‘Exit Survey’ on the Chatabix Patreon account - which is a list of reasons both positive and negative that listeners have submitted when un-subscribing. So naturally he reads some of them to Joe. It’s all very revealing and leads them to think about what exactly listeners want from the pod. Then, in a complete change in direction, they decide to read some more One In A Million stories. It’s a bit of a mixed bag and they almost give up at one point, but thankfully there’s a few great ones in there to keep their spirits up. There’s also a brilliant story sent in by the one and only Jamie Demetriou - do not miss!

First up, some chat about an embarrassing compliment that David received recently, a lovely Crunch Crunch Joe got at his recent Park Run and how to best to cook an omelette. Then the talk returns to Joe’s wild camping plans. How are things progressing with the tent-buying, where is he going to do it and just how is he feeling about the whole idea now that he’s had a chance to let it settle in?

Joe wants to go on a proper adventure for the podcast and possibly even record it to broadcast too. So he and David spend lot of today’s show coming up with ideas about what he might do. Then David suggests wild camping in the Ashdown Forest - which despite Joe’s many reservations, is the idea he decides to go for. So stay tuned for all the details and more importantly, find out if it will ever actually happen. Plus, there’s a cheeky little listener’s quip to end the show on.

A not so random pick from the archives this week. As David’s sacking from the Spoons sketch show came up recently, we’re posting the old episode that we recorded about it. To find out more about that fateful day, we chatted to comedy producer and writer Neil Webster about why he had to fire David and why exactly he wasn't up to the job.

Following on from yesterday’s episode - and in preparation for their upcoming chat with Mark Bonnar about it - here’s yet more analysis of David’s performance on the Inspector Lynley Mysteries set. Just how god damn bad was he?! Plus, there’s talk about David’s sacking from Spoons, Joe’s first acting job on Him And Her and what it would be like to audition for Holby City.

It’s recently come to light that the wonderful actor Mark Bonnar appeared alongside David in his infamous Inspector Lynley Mysteries scene. So Joe, being a friend of Marks, has asked him to come on the pod to give his impression of how David behaved on the day. Was he really as nervous, time-waisting and rubbish at acting as David believes? The only problem is that Mark’s suddenly had to cancel and re-schedule the chat. So Joe and David take the opportunity to have a deep-dive into the whole Inspector Lynley experience - so much so that they had to make this episode a 2-parter. Part two coming tomorrow… Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

David kicks things off by telling Joe about the lovely old man he met walking on Dartmoor the other day. But also how the man thought David was about 57, which didn’t go down so well. This leads both David and Joe to talking about their aging and looking older too. Then it’s onto old jobs and the time David worked as a runner in Soho - and how David really does’t like London. So there’s lots of chat about David’s many issues with the city and how he was pretty scared of Plumstead when he lived there. But eventually, after talking through the pros and cons, both of them realise that they actually quite like London and decide to celebrate it instead. Well, celebrate bits of it at least.

An archive show for the Chatabix diehards out there. In this one, the recording went wrong and so we got ready for work whilst playing a song called Believe from 1991.

In today’s Mailbag we have messages about a Chatabiscuit boyfriend, lots more funny names, getting told off by a no-nonsense cleaner at work, cheeky house viewings (from the owner's perspective), a pretty lame dating prank and a collection of superb pre-prepared quips used by a bus driver.

Well this episode does exactly what it says on the tin. After a message about them from one of our Patreons, David’s decided he wants to use today’s show to read out some of the less than positive Chatabix reviews left on Spotify. And some nice ones too, of course. Joe’s not 100% sure it’s a good idea to do it on the pod - but is intrigued enough to give it a go. So settle in for half an hour of listener’s moans, compliments and complaints - it’s like Points Of View for podcasting.

There’s lots to get through on today’s jam-packed episode. Firstly, Joe and David are starting filming on a new project tomorrow and David’s beginning to feel very anxious about it. Meanwhile, Joe was asked a pretty big favour from someone he doesn’t really know and is now feeling resentful about it. Then David reveals that over the weekend he met a man at the beach who he really got on with - and was then quickly dumped by him. Also, David has finally watched an episode of Grand Designs so he and Joe can now discuss the show and there’s some more chat about weed smoking.

David’s been up to his sneaky house-viewing tricks again - and this time, he and Naomi loved the house and also the old couple who owned it. So Joe grills him once more about the what and why of it all and David ponders how big the decisions are when trying to find a new house. Then Joe wants to tell David about a really ‘laddie’ environment he found himself in recently and that even though he found it quite uncomfortable, he was determined not to join in. He reckons it’s a new-found confidence since turning 50.
