After joining the gym a while back, David’s finally started using it and Joe wants to know how he’s getting on. As you might expect, David’s a little reluctant to speak about it - but Joe tries his best anyway and we do eventually get some details. Then, in a clever avoidance move, David starts talking about The Gladiators, which he’s loving at the moment. And before you know it, they’ve invented a quiz about the show to test how much of a fan David actually is. FOR ALL THINGS CHATABIX'Y FOLLOW/...

Joe’s still in Manchester, filming for Cats Does Countdown. So in this episode, David tries to get Joe to tell him about the famous Countdown set and what exactly happens during a recording of the show. Joe’s a little over-tired though, so isn’t particularly receptive to David’s questioning. But when the subject of all the famous people he’s seen at the studios comes up, the two of them get much more animated. So they them embark on a game of ‘Celebrities I’ve Seen’, which last for the rest of t...

Joe’s been filming in Manchester for the past few days and with so much going on there, he wants to use today’s episode to tell David everything that’s happened. Well, that was the plan. But when he kicks things off with an embarrassing story about saying hello to Olympic-star Colin Jackson in his hotel restaurant, things very quick get de-railed. After a bit of digging from David, it turns out Joe’s insecurities about turning 50 are far from over and the dissecting of that takes up most of the ...

David bough £55 of fish from a door-to-door salesman last night. And even though he found the fella very trustworthy and also took his telephone number - now in David’s phone as ‘Charlie Fish’ - he’s now wondering if it might have been some sort of scam? So him and Joe run though all the possibilities, before discussing a number of con-artists that Joe’s come across in the past. It’s a right old scam-fest.

After a couple of frustrating minutes texting about things they can’t talk about on the pod, David asks Joe about his recent appearance on the Chris Moyles Radio X Breakfast Show. Being such a fan of Chris, David wants to know everything about the experience and especially how Joe managed to remain so comfortable with it all. Which somewhat predictably makes Joe feel very uncomfortable for the majority of this episode. YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chatabixpodcast Twitter: https://twitter...

After a tough evening at his five-a-side footie match last night, Joe’s again wondering if it’s time to hang up his boots. Is it all now too physically demanding on his 50 year old body? Which leads him and David to wondering about the general markers of ageing and what, if anything, they can do to hold them back. Well, David’s started doing daily morning yoga and Peloton exercises with his wife - so that’s definitely something Joe wants to know more about. FOR ALL THINGS CHATABIX'Y FOLLOW/SUBSC...

David’s in a bit of a mood this morning and feeling pretty low. So to cheer him up, Joe tells him about the great time he had recently at a Comic Relief charity tennis match. Which seems to work, eventually. Then in other news, they talk about finding ‘chore days’ really satisfying, try to work out if they are any good at Scouse accents and finish things off with some introspection about why they pod.

After an indecisive start to the show, David and Joe invent a ‘Wheel Of Fortune’ type game to select a topic to talk about. David then comes up with three things he reckons might be interesting to chat about - 1) planning his family’s driving holiday around Europe, 2) impulsively joining a gym, and 3) his thumbnail coming off after shutting it in the car door a few weeks ago. So let’s spin that wheel and see which conversational cul-de-sac fate takes us down first. Joe also find some time amongs...

David’s in a brilliant mood this morning (ie. he’s had 2 double expressos), which slightly wrong-foots Joe to begin with. He’s just been doing some household chores and is really not as upbeat as David. So the pod's all a little imbalanced for the first 15 mins or so. Then Joe realises that with David in this mood, it’s a great time to ask him again about his attitude to MMUs, hoping for a better response than last time.

It was David’s 51st Birthday recently, so Joe kicks things off by finding out what he got up to and what presents he was given. It turns out that one gift was a shirt, which was a little too ‘Woodcuttery’ for David’s liking. So the chat soon turns to buying clothes, for both themselves and their other halves, which all gets a little heated. They also talk about discomfort when rummaging in clothes shops, being bad at small-talk, David looking into moving again and some listener feedback on the M...

Joe’s just completed his most recent Mystery Meet Up, which was an evening of Go-Kart racing. So David digs in to find out what Joe thought of it and how well he performed on the track.

Digging deep into the Chatabix mailbag, this week we read messages about a pre-planned bollock quip, a couple of celebrity interactions, some theme tune jingles written by a Chatabiscuit, a very special letter received from Ronny Barker and a littering story that ended in a fine.

David’s been away visiting family and stayed in a triangular-shaped AirBnB last night, so he kicks off the show by explaining that all to Joe. Their chat then soon wanders off into a very mixed bag of topics, such as keeping positive in conversations, enthusiastic early morning radio DJs, an impromptu curry quiz, some reminiscing about strange local characters, David’s upcoming massage and Joe’s complete disinterest in ever having one.

David’s realised he takes on a strange persona whenever he’s in a DIY shop or garden centre, which is something his wife Naomi picked up on recently when they were at their local B&Q. He thinks it might be connected to his old job as a gardener and what little knowledge from that time he’s managed to retain. Suffice to say, he really doesn’t like who he becomes in these situations - but it’s something that Joe very much enjoys hearing about on today’s pod. FOR ALL THINGS CHATABIX'Y FOLLOW/SU...

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...

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.

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.
