S15 Ep 842: The ‘Not A Mailbag’ Episode

Apologies in advance as this one was a bit of a slog, to say the least! David and Joe were feeling very uninspired and really struggled with things to talk about. But they still managed to come up with an hour of chatting - on subjects including toxic incompetence, the Fawlty Towers Dining Experience, owning a coffee wagon, podding from listeners houses, David at Plumpton College, the wonderful Adam Buxton, Comedy Shuffle and the Golden Lobe awards.FOR ALL THINGS CHATABIX'Y FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE/CONTACT:  YouTubeInstagramTikTokPatreonMerchEmail us at [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

After almost being totally distracted from Mailbag again by some Spice Girls anecdotes, David and Joe eventually manage to pull some post out of the bag. There’s messages about the Brighton Pillars, some Golden Moments, a dog fouling quandary, a miss-judged quip, an old pub in Albourne with a dome and another ‘how often we have sex’ report.FOR ALL THINGS CHATABIX'Y FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE/CONTACT:  YouTubeInstagramTikTokPatreonMerchEmail us at [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

It’s the second part of our trouser-themed double bubble episode. So picking up from were we left things yesterday, there’s chat about recent crunch crunches, more on expensive trouser purchases, the new Pottery Throw Down presenters, drinking too much coffee, 48 hour Nintendo speed benders, David’s short-lived business studies course and Joe’s bongo. Plus a quick pod chart quiz to end on.FOR ALL THINGS CHATABIX'Y FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE/CONTACT: YouTubeInstagramTikTokPatreonMerchEmail us at [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

Joe’s back in a hotel after doing some filming yesterday, so feeling a little a little out of sorts being away from home. He’s also come up with a new section idea for the pod and really wants to talk to David about it. But first he needs to explain about a pair of expensive trousers that he really liked but was reluctant to buy, which leads to a lot of analysis from David and a real downward spiral from Joe. Then David recounts a country lane stand-off he had the other day, where he behaved very valiantly indeed! More on all this - plus Pottery Thrown Down, David’s Business Studies course and A Pod Chart Quiz - in tomorrow’s Part 2FOR ALL THINGS CHATABIX'Y FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE/CONTACT: YouTubeInstagramTikTokPatreonMerchEmail us at [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

Well, David and Joe had all good intentions for this to be a regular Friday Mailbag episode. But after David reads out the first email, they both get totally sidetracked with a story about the time teenage David hung out with some very curious The Cure fans. So much so, that it takes up the rest of the show - it’s a cracking yarn though! Normal Mailbag service will return this Friday.FOR ALL THINGS CHATABIX'Y FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE/CONTACT:  YouTubeInstagramTikTokPatreonMerchEmail us at [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

Our Dragon’s Den pitching session continues, with the Patreons battling it out to impress David and Joe with their great ‘new section’ ideas. There’s also a surprise appearance from friend of the show, screenwriter Neil Forsyth, who has a couple of ideas for them too. And just when David and Joe think they’ve heard from everyone, yet more hopefuls arrive - it’s along old session! FOR ALL THINGS CHATABIX'Y FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE/CONTACT:  YouTubeInstagramTikTokPatreonMerchEmail us at [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

Soon after starting today’s show, Joe remembers that his brother’s had a new section idea for the pod and messages him to get the full details. So while they await the reply, David decides to send out a message to the Chatabix Patreons to ask if they have any ideas too and would like to join them on Zoom for a Dragon’s Den style pitching session. The only problem is, he sends the link out to everyone which very quickly results in a complete pile-on of potential Patreon contestants. Let the chaos commence! PS there were a lot, so it’s gonna be a two-parter. FOR ALL THINGS CHATABIX'Y FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE/CONTACT:  YouTubeInstagramTikTokPatreonMerchEmail us at [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

It seems that David’s curiosity about Joe’s sinister farm has not yet been satisfied. So in this episode, he encourages Joe to re-open the case files and probe further into the (potentially) murky underworld of this very suspicious rural hideaway. After some further internet hunting and exploring on Google maps, Joe is even inspired to return to the actual location to take another look. Their True Crime investigation is really hotting up!
