Chatabix

Joe was recently invited to host the opening of some new tennis courts near to where he lives - and with his bold new ‘helping out in the community’ attitude, he enthusiastically accepted. So as that’s now happened, David wants to hear all the details from Joe and find out if he managed to maintain his positivity throughout the day. Spoiler alert, he didn’t feel hugely comfortable with the big comedy scissors he was given to cut the ribbon with.

In this old episode from the archives, we couldn't record a Chatabix on that morning - so thought we'd upload a pilot of a new podcast idea.

On this week's show, we read emails about getting told off as an adult, a paid for cover version of Happy Happy Girl, a secret tunnel under Gillingham, a very interesting farm leaflet, an edible munching CEO, beach hut repairs and lot a praise for Joe. Plus a very confusing quip to end on.

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 ensues and there's a load more angst about turning 50 too.FOR ALL THINGS CHATABIX'Y FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE/CONTACT: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chatabixpodcastTwitter: https://twitter.com/chatabix1Insta: https://www.instagram.com/chatabixpodcast/Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/chatabixMerch: https://chatabixshop.com/Contact us: chatabix@yahoo.com Learn more about your ad choices.

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. But we’ll leave it up to you to decide just how wonderful it actually was?FOR ALL THINGS CHATABIX'Y FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE/CONTACT: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chatabixpodcastTwitter: https://twitter.com/chatabix1Insta: https://www.instagram.com/chatabixpodcast/Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/chatabixMerch: https://chatabixshop.com/Contact us: chatabix@yahoo.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Following David’s recent tales from the Lake District, in this episode he tells Joe about more family trips to Cheddar Gorge in Somerset - with stories about caves, gorges, pricy admission tickets, edgy vibes and ice cream shop wars. 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.

On today’s slightly shorter but oh so sweet Mailbag show, David and Joe read messages about a very interesting shell grotto, the return of old pub jokes, a Chataiscuit marathon runner, Joe’s Galaxy Pugs voiceover and a singer who sounds a lot like him too.FOR ALL THINGS CHATABIX'Y FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE/CONTACT: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chatabixpodcastTwitter: https://twitter.com/chatabix1Insta: https://www.instagram.com/chatabixpodcast/Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/chatabixMerch: https://chatabixshop.com/Contact us: chatabix@yahoo.com Learn more about your ad choices.

David’s recent family holiday included a trip to the Lake District, which he totally fell in love with. Whist there they visited the former home of the children’s writer Beatrix Potter, which was an equally magical experience. So for this episode, he settles in and recounts the whole story to Joe, in his own inimitable style. ‘Can we have some music here James please’.FOR ALL THINGS CHATABIX'Y FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE/CONTACT: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chatabixpodcastTwitter: https://twitter.com/chatabix1Insta: https://www.instagram.com/chatabixpodcast/Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/chatabixMerch: https://chatabixshop.com/Contact us: chatabix@yahoo.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Joe’s done it again and lined up another brilliant surprise guest for David. But this time, we’re so excited to have this person on the show that we couldn’t wait to reveal who it is you.

As you’ll all know, David is one of Keith’s biggest fans and utterly obsessed with the show. So once he’s calmed down from the surprise, he can’t wait to get all nerdy about pottery and discover lots of the backstage details from Keith. Let’s get those pottery wheels spinning!
