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. FOR ALL THINGS CHATABIX'Y FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE/CONTACT: YouTube...

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 the...

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. FOR ALL THINGS C...

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 ...

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....

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 leanin...

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 o...

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 load...

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 fin...

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! FOR...

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 J...

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 car...

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, ...

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. P...

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 e...

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 ever...

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 ...

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. FOR ALL THINGS CH...
