S9 Ep326 Usual Drivel - Not one but two Chrissy songs

To kick off this week’s Mailbag we get a follow-up email from Grace at The Almond Thief bakery in Devon and hear some very useful health and lifestyle advice from a recent retiree. Then we read messages about an endurance swimmer, changing careers to become a dog trainer, a heroic grandad who was in the SAS, play a listener’s song and receive an invitation to guest on someone’s podcast. You gotta love a bit of Mailbag!

In a desperate attempt to think of a something to discuss on today’s show, David tells Joe about the time he got a job making paving slabs on a farm. And then another job he had as a waiter in an Italian restaurant, which he absolutely hated. They’re both not sure if the restaurant story has come up before on the pod, but with few other options, David ploughs on with telling Joe all about it. Needless to say, that job was very short-lived indeed. Joe then remembers an old flat that he bailed out on almost as quickly - so they have think about other things they’ve quit and it turns out there’s quite a few… 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: chatabix@yahoo.com Learn more about your ad choices.

The last time that Joe going to the gym came up in conversation, he and David got totally distracted by 80s bodybuilding. So in this episode, David picks up on his questioning about why Joe’s no longer dismissive of using gyms and looking after his body. Then, in a total change in subject, David remembers it’s a year ago exactly he was on holiday in Antigua. That sparks off a whole load of reminiscing - and plenty of embarrassment too when he recalls his idea about moving there. It’s a very meandering episode, in the best Chatabix way of course.

David’s away from home so doing the pod remotely and Joe’s just back from a weekend in Bath. So they have a de-brief on all of that and David also reads out a negative review of the pod he’s recently seen. But rather than letting that get them down, they decide to celebrate Chatabix instead. They’ve both been loving recording again after their break and feel very privileged to do the podcast. Then it’s onto the main subject of the episode - an update on Joe’s quipping. For the past few weeks he’s been attempting to write down all of the silly little gags he constantly makes when out in public and they both reckon it’d make for a great book. So they decide to turn it into a quip quiz and Joe tests David to see if he can work out what some of them were. And what a very fun game it is too!

It’s a festive edition of messages from our listener’s Mailbag - which aren’t actually festive themselves, it’s just that we’re doing it the week before Christmas. But to mark the occasion, we’re giving away a pair of amazing Flare Audio Earphones (Chatabix Edition) to the writers of each email we read out. And we’re also giving away a few more in a little Christmas competition for our lovely Patreons. Merry Christmas!!!

It’s that time of the year again - TV Joe is back and he’s brought his big sack of Christmas quizzes with him. To kick things off, David and Joe give him his Christmas present and in return, he runs them through some of his television highlights of this Christmas season. Then it’s time to sit back and relax while TV Joe tests the guys on some wonderfully festive trivia questions, followed by another classic Christmas-themed ‘Name That Tune’ challenge. As ever, this is quizzing at its very best!
