It’s the third and final instalment of David’s tales from his epic European camper van holiday. So, there’s moving on from Venice to Bolognia, a mosquito crisis and another big change in plans, a very restful six day stay at Lake Idro, a bit too much volleyball and the return of David’s dreaded toothache. So it’s back to Switzerland, a 1001 km drive to Calais and then finally home to Devon. Followed by a speedy and well-needed trip to the dentist!We also finish the show with a new song from friend of the pod Mezz Coleman, called Junior Soldier. It’s released on 4th September!FOR ALL THINGS CHATABIX'Y FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE/CONTACT: YouTubeInstagramTikTokPatreonMerchEmail us at [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

It’s time for more tales from David’s epic family holiday touring around Europe in a camper van. There’s a dramatic change in plans, a scary near-miss on the road, meeting a lovely Belgian couple, a long drive to Dijon, driving over the Swiss mountains to Italy, a very bug-filled night’s sleep, trying out an Italian accent, the pleasure of having to empty their toilet and arriving in Venice. Make sure to catch the third and final instalment tomorrow…FOR ALL THINGS CHATABIX'Y FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE/CONTACT: YouTubeInstagramTikTokPatreonMerchEmail us at [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

Via the magic of podcasting, David is now back from his epic summer family holiday and has so much to tell us about it. Although, he’s strangely reluctant at first. But once Joe’s warmed him up with some news of his recent trip to the Isle of Wight, David starts to recount the first few days of the holiday. There’s picking up their camper van, their first night at a Yeovil camp-sight, the journey to Calais, onto a Eurocamp at Bruges and a very disturbing late night smell. After the decidedly slow start, this becomes an epic three part tale - and part two's coming tomorrow…FOR ALL THINGS CHATABIX'Y FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE/CONTACT: YouTubeInstagramTikTokPatreonMerchEmail us at [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

For this archive show, we head back to 2022 - and in this one we talked about Joe being in South Africa and how we’ve both been treading water in life. First posted 30th May 2022 FOR ALL THINGS CHATABIX'Y FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE/CONTACT: YouTubeInstagramTikTokPatreonMerchEmail us at [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

In today’s mailbag, we have tales about a crunch crunch in Bristol , a request for some one-liner feedback, badly behaved kids, being mistaken for a tramp and a collection of cosy parent moments, Plus, there’s a long diversion from David about spotting the comedian Marcus Brigstocke in the village where he lives.FOR ALL THINGS CHATABIX'Y FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE/CONTACT: YouTubeInstagramTikTokPatreonMerchEmail us at [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

It’s the day before David embarks on his month-long campervan holiday, touring around Europe with his family. So he and Joe use today’s show to have a run through of all David’s hopes, fears and preparations for the adventure ahead of him. And also talk about something for 15 minutes that we can’t put out, so it’s a sightly shorter show than it would have been otherwise. As the trip actually began in late July and David’s been away for most of August, some of the timings do become a little topsy-turvey - but it should all make sense in the end.

Following on from yesterday’s show, David settles back to hear about Joe’s trip to the chemists to buy some haemorrhoid tablets. And more importantly, just how awkward did he find the experience?! Then after that, they run through a list of the top 20 comedy pods to decide which ones would read out a listener’s email about the very same subject.

On today’s eclectic itinerary, there’s chat about renting a van, Ted Lasso, Scam Interceptors, pop-up tents, snoring, David’s root canal work, some recent quipping, a strange incident in Joe’s road and David’s uncomfortable encounter with an angry dog. Then later in the show, when Joe mentions needing to buy some haemorrhoid tablets, David immediately stops proceedings so they can make the episode a double bubble.
