S12 Ep 534: Chatabix Towers Comes Tumbling Down

David’s recent family holiday to the beautiful seaside village of Polperro in Cornwall was unceremoniously ruined by him catching a nasty bout of flu. So he explains to Joe just how promisingly the trip began and how disappointed he was when he had to spend the rest of it shivering in bed. Poor old David - but thankfully he’s over it now and feeling much more positive. Talk then turns to Joe’s new found enthusiasm for saunas. He went to one recently with his Mystery Meet Up pals and it turns out he really liked it - so has been a few more times since. But David’s very surprised to hear all this and digs in with his questioning to get to bottom of this very uncharacteristic move from Joe.

After having some pretty serious problems with his prostate, David is thankfully on the mend and has just received the all clear on his most recent test results. So as well as being hugely relieved, he’s keen to talk about it with Joe on the pod and do his bit to help de-stigmatise some of the issues around prostate health. He’s also wants to let other men know who might find themselves in the same position that they’re not alone. But this is Chatabix of course, so the discussion is not without its fair share of awkwardness, self-doubt, leg-pulling and laughter. This is healthcare the Chatabix way!

On this weeks selection of emails from our listeners, we read messages about Ken Campbell’s funeral, more offers to help out with the pod, some scandalous tales from a health spa employee, bread-baking advice, a rather bitter story about Eddie ‘The Eagle’ Edwards and a lovely complement from one of our Patreons.

After David’s caffeine crisis in the last episode, he’s especially keen not to talk too much today. But after Joe tell’s him he’s just back from the gym, an argument soon starts about David’s sensitivities with body-building and being picked on as a kid because his dad was into it. Essentially, it’s round two of the heated discussion they had about it a month or so ago. So in attempt to calm things down a bit, they talk about David’s Yoga - which is all very relaxing. Then talk turns to being young and getting old - and for some reason David remembers when he saw Judy Dench at a windmill in Outwood when he was 10 years old. This then leads to a whole host of random conversations about TV celebrities, local villages and childhood memories. It’s all very Chatabix indeed.

Joe’s comes up with what he thinks is a great idea for today’s episode - to ask each other ‘What’s Your Sin?’. David however has a had a bit too much coffee and much to Joe’s annoyance, is finding it really difficult to concentrate. So their conversation veers all over the place and we never really get to find out what either of their sins are - other than David having a pair of shoes made for himself. They then have a discussion about the middle-aged men’s fashion style of woodcutter jackets worn with rugged jeans, key-chains and big boots. It’s a look that neither of them seem to like very much - until they ask Petra for her opinion on it and it’s definitely not what Joe expects to hear.

David is absolutely loving the current series of The Great Pottery Throw Down, so much so that he really wants to become one of its hosts. As Joe’s not seen the show before, David enthusiastically explains everything about it to him and what incredibly cosy TV it is. They then both have a think about what skills would be needed for David to join its presenting team. But after quite a few tries at him reading out some of the presenter links, they start to suspect that he might not have the right personality for it? Undeterred by this, they plough on with the presenter practicing - and even get in touch with one of the show’s previous hosts Ellie Taylor to get some tips. This one was a long old episode to record, so we’ve split it in half for you. Part two coming very soon… FOR ALL THINGS CHATABIX'Y FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE/CONTACT: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chatabixpodcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/chatabix1 Insta: https://www.instagram.com/chatabixpodcast/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/chatabix Merch: https://chatabixshop.com/ Contact us: [email protected] Learn more about your ad choices.
