S16 Ep 893 Listener’s Mailbag: Heroes and Dead Bodies

It’s Friday, so obviously it’s time to delve into the Chatabix mailbag again. On today’s show - meeting a footballing legend, meeting a musical hero, making mischief, some funny names, cycling shorts, finding an almost dead body, encounters with oddballs and a littering confrontation. Plus, David tells Joe about a recent awkward experience he had umpiring an under 9’s cricket match.

First up, Joe tells David about seeing the Madness singer Suggs on his train the other day. Then David wants to recount his recent trip to the Splashdown water park in Torquay for one of his son’s birthdays. And let’s just say, in spite of really liking the experience, he has a lot to say about some of the park’s other visitors. Later in the show, there’s chat about someone who’s ignoring David, answering a bunch of funny questions from school kids and an attempt to scam Joe’s mum. It’s a jam-packed show!

It’s about time for another of TV Joe’s quizzes and as luck would have it, here he is! For this episode he’s gone all Radio 4 and prepared something slightly different - his version of the classic panel show ’I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue’. So settle back and listen to how David and Joe fair with all the quips, cleverness and singing that the different rounds call for. Plus, they have a quick go at Des O’Connor’s famous Yes/No game. FOR ALL THINGS CHATABIX'Y FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE/CONTACT: YouTubeInstagramTikTokPatreonMerchEmail us at [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

Back in the midst of this summer’s World Cup, Joe was lucky enough to be invited onto his favourite football podcast - The Good, The Bad & The Football - hosted by Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt and Paddy McGuinness. So in this episode, he finally gets to tell David everything about the experience. And what with David being a life-long Manchester United fan, he’s almost as excited hearing about it as Joe was being a guest on the show.

We’re heading back to the early days of the pod for this archive show. In this one, we chatted about bleak venues, other podcasts, Joe's impressions, Joe's weight loss, Joe's speed eating, Deacon Blue, Talent Agency feedback and finish with Part 3 of our Howard's Way watch-along.First posted on 20 April 2021FOR ALL THINGS CHATABIX'Y FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE/CONTACT: YouTubeInstagramTikTokPatreonMerchEmail us at [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

In today’s very varied Mailbag, there’s messages about a youthful massage, checking out sex shops, Joe look-a-likes, the Tower Of Power at Siam Park, a ’catching up with Chatabix’ apology, stolen VW badges and a lovely bit of Sting trivia.

Joe’s starting writing a list of things to talk about on the pod and in this episode, he’s want to see if they spark any interest with David. Subjects include watching a man dig a grave, covers bands, Joe’s stolen beach shoes, watching trucks queuing outside a Travis Perkins, hugging too much, losing your temper and loving camaraderie. After that, David shows Joe’s the cricket bat he had signed by the England team and they daydream about what it’d be like to work at professional cricket or football club. FOR ALL THINGS CHATABIX'Y FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE/CONTACT: YouTubeInstagramTikTokPatreonMerchEmail us at [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

On today’s show, David tells Joe about a suspicious ‘cold-call’ gardener he’s just been speaking with, they both recount tales of rouge traders they’ve used in the past and David attempts some online investigations. Then, as Joe’s been staying in Bristol for the past few days where he went to art college in his early 20s, he really noticed the different way he experienced the city as a 51 year old. So you can expect lots of introspection about getting old - and some chat about window cleaning too.

David’s just had a magical day at the Trent Bridge Test Match in Nottingham, made even more special as he and his family met Ben Stokes outside the grounds beforehand. Little did they know that later that day Ben would be announcing his retirement from international cricket. So it was a big day for all concerned - and David wants to tell Joe everything about it. They also discuss direct messages, getting autographs, the wonderful Andy Zaltzman and if they could ever blag a job as a sports commentator. For those in the know, this episode was obviously recorded a little earlier in the summer.
