David’s taken the train up to London for a meeting in Soho. So while he walks there from Paddington station, he gives Joe a call so they can chat on the way. Joe suggest’s doing a Blue Plaque tour, reads out some local London history and also tries to convince David to overcome his fear of the Underground. No chance! David also pops in to Superdrug to get some deodorant, grabs a sandwich from Pret, and tracks down the Post-Production offices where he used to work many years ago. It’s a lovey lit...

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 so...

It’s the second part of Joe and David’s mega-chat with last week’s guest Lee Mack. Picking things up again, the talk turns to game shows, pitching new ideas, learning lines, script read-through and the challenges of recording with a live audience. Plus, Lee tries to cast David as a policeman in his huge hit sit-com Not Going Out. It’s another epic episode!

Fenners is back! And even though he’s on a tight schedule for the recording, he’s got loads to tell us about. It’s a heady mix of flat tires, speeding tickets, Soccer Aid, his new podcast about a fictional football team, changing rooms, training grounds, old TV shows, favourite interviews, presenting an awards ceremony and a very secret new project. So much to talk about! They only just remember right at the end to see how Fenners did with Joe’s challenge to find him a new jacket. There’s three ...

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 O...

As you’ll all know, Lee is one of the UK’s most well-loved comedians and the undisputed fastest mind in comedy. So unsurprisingly, this is one heck of a Chatabix episode and the guys had so much to talk about, we had to split it into two halves.

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!

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 th...

He’s booked a ticket for Thorpe Park’s new Hyperia ride, which is the UK’s tallest rollercoaster. So he's pretty nervous already and might be regretting that he’s decided to do it on is own?

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. But unfortunately he’s a bit distracted as he’s supposed to be writing a best-man’s speech. So they halt proceedings to discuss all of that before David continues with hi...

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/CO...

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 Ro...
