S14 Ep 758: Christmas Mailbag - This Morning and Early Retirement

It’s a Christmas edition of Mailbag this week - in spite of most of the messages having nothing to do with the festive season. First up, we read an email from a This Morning camera operator, then there’s updates on David’s Ibiza holiday romance and Joe’s Park Run stalker. Plus, more weed stories, a 50th birthday drugs-fest, an early retirement routine, a VLODing clarification and to finish things off, a collection of quick-fire messages about the regularity of sex when married.

You’ve guessed it, Joe’s on his way to Brighton station to catch a train, so he uses the time to call David and record a pod. So prepare yourself for an enchanted Christmassy walk with some winter stories, a random act of festive generosity, chat about being grateful, Robert Smith’s favourite comedians and David talks Joe through his Synex addiction, again. Plus, some crunch crunching through imaginary snow.

On today’s show, Joe reveals that after a long time not reading any messages on social media about himself, he saw one recently which really wound him up. So him and David have a deep dive onto all of that. Then David reveals that this would be just the kind of episode that he would have liked when listening to pods as a gardener. So him and Joe talk through what other Chatabix episodes would have been his favourites - and discuss some other pods too, of course.

David’s got a shirt on today, so we kick things off with talking about wearing smarter clothes and Joe not wearing jeans any more. Then the subject of Joe being a square comes up - so David challenges him to prove that he’s not by providing one amazingly rebellious fact about himself. And what Joe comes up with is an absolute revelation! So much so, it’s all they can talk about for the rest of the show.

Archive episode time! And in this one we chat about Joe's shit, arguing with partners and then we shut down.

In today’s selection of Mailbag emails, we have messages about the pleasures of computer gaming, moving to Bath from Australia, VODing vs VLODing, a twins birthday quip, a ‘better that it first appears to be’ quip to group of mechanics, seeing the red mist and another selection of pub jokes. This episode is dedicated to Chatabiscuit Adam - rest in peace.

Well, let’s be honest - today’s show was a bit of a struggle as both David and Joe had nothing much to talk about and no inspiration. But even so, they still manage to rustle up some chat about the wholesomeness of tea, opinions on coffee drinkers, very early morning walks, Jack Russell dogs, Joe getting better at letting stuff go and the possibility of David’s postman listening to the pod. But all in all, in both their opinions - definitely not good enough to put out. Enjoy!

Apologies in advance - it’s a scatological start to today’s episode. David decides to tell Joe about reluctantly having to do a poo on his train up to London the previous morning. It’s a subject that neither of them are comfortable talking about but they still manage to fill the first 20 minutes discussing it. After that, it’s chat about OAP cocaine users, Ben Shephard being a Chatabiscuit, meeting Dawn French, Joe being on the Lorraine show, visiting TV studio sets and being rude in a voiceover session.

At the end of a recent Mailbag episode, David and Joe started talking about holiday romances. And more specifically, a very special one that David had on a family holiday to Ibiza in 1989, when he was 15 years old. His memories are a little patchy but he’s pretty sure her name was Claire and they almost certainly visited a secret cove on a nearby beach. Either way, he insisted that it would need it’s own episode to tell the full story - so here it is for you now… FOR ALL THINGS CHATABIX'Y FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE/CONTACT: YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@chatabixpodcast⁠ Insta: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/chatabixpodcast/⁠ TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@chatabix⁠ Patreon: ⁠https://www.patreon.com/chatabix⁠ Merch: ⁠https://chatabixshop.com/⁠ Contact us: ⁠[email protected]⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s right back to the early day of the pod for this week’s archive show. We chat about David helping his wife get the car off the drive, how the podcast is doing, how to move up the charts, preparing for tomorrow's episode and Howards Way First posted on 6th April 2021 FOR ALL THINGS CHATABIX'Y FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE/CONTACT: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chatabixpodcast Insta: https://www.instagram.com/chatabixpodcast/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@chatabix Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/chatabix Merch: https://chatabixshop.com/ Contact us: [email protected] Learn more about your ad choices.
