Extra drivel today as we are joined by comedian and illustrator Henry Paker. He has a brilliant brain and is one of the Beans from the Three Bean Salad podcast. Henry did the illustrations for Joe's book 'My Autobiograpy' and is here to talk about what it was like making the book with Joe. However instead of talking about the book they reminisce about the heady days of stand-up. Henry has a lot of stories about cake, Russell Howard and comedy. When they eventually get on to the subject of the book they talk about who's name looks better on the front cover.Henry Paker's podcast is Three Bean Salad with Mike Wozniak & Benjamin Partridge.

Todays guest is a special surprise for Joe. It's someone he's wanted to talk to after watching a tv show. When the guest arrives Joe doesn't recognise them at first as they look very different from how they looked at the end of the TV Show. When the penny drops Joe get overexcited and flaps his arms around. He;s possibly more excited than when Roachford came on. There is so much Joe wants to know. They settle in for a lovely chat.Find out more about this surprise guest here (but listen to the ep first if you don't want to spoil the surprise): www.desertislandsurvival.comFollow Chatabix on Twitter & Instagram:twitter.com/chatabix1www.instagram.com/chatabixpodcast/Patreon for early access to our eps: https://www.patreon.com/chatabixCrunchy fresh tees and hoodies: https://chatabixshop.com/Contact us: chatabix@yahoo.com Learn more about your ad choices.

It's the second part of Joe's surfing story but before they pick up where they left off the lads have a little romanticise about what life would be like doing the pod if Joe was a surf dude and David was a muso tinkering with his guitar all day. Joe tells David about nervously walking along the beachfront in Carlsbad with a rolled up towel under his arm to meet Rusty who he has booked the surf lesson with. On arrival Joe's asked to change into a wetsuit which throws up loads of uncomfortable feelings and Joe secretly wishes the lesson would get cancelled as the waves are too big. As Joe enters the ocean the instructor Mark asks him if he's ever surfed before. Joe tells him no, definitely not, not even skateboarded mate, in the vague hope that he'd be impressed by how quick he picks it up. The midlife crisis has fully kicked in. Joe's about to ride his first wave - part 3 out on Thursday 2nd Nov.Follow Chatabix on Twitter & Instagram:twitter.com/chatabix1www.instagram.com/chatabixpodcast/Patreon for early access to our eps: https://www.patreon.com/chatabixCrunchy fresh tees and hoodies: https://chatabixshop.com/Contact us: chatabix@yahoo.com Learn more about your ad choices.

It's the run up to the surf lesson: Joe's been on holiday to California and David wants to know all about it. Joe confesses he struggles to say LAX as it's embarrasing and babbles on about the Hollywood Sign, seeing Jared Leto's house and the 9 lane traffic on the freeway. Eventually they get to the meaty bit when Joe reveals he's had a surfing lesson at the end of the holiday. David is all ears. The discussion turns to mid life crisis's and Joe's surfboard being akin to David's new guitar. Joe tells David that he felt empowered having his surf lesson but now just feels embarrassed.Follow Chatabix on Twitter & Instagram:twitter.com/chatabix1www.instagram.com/chatabixpodcast/Patreon for early access to our eps: https://www.patreon.com/chatabixCrunchy fresh tees and hoodies: https://chatabixshop.com/Contact us: chatabix@yahoo.com Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s the second part of Joe and David’s mega-chat with last week’s surprise guest Lee Mack. Picking things up again, the talk turns to game shows, Lee’s brilliant 1% Club, Joe and David’s Pyramind idea and pitching new shows. Then it’s back to sit-coms with learning lines, script read-throughs, viewing figures, the challenges of recording with a live audience and casting David as a policeman in Not Going Out. There’s also some reminiscing about the 90’s stand-up scene, Lee’s early days starting out in comedy, the pleasures of podding and bizarrely, some damaged cushions that Joe and David begrudgingly agree to replace.Part one of this Ep with Lee Mack (ep 306) released 18th Oct 2023 if you want to listen to that first !Follow Chatabix on Twitter & Instagram:twitter.com/chatabix1www.instagram.com/chatabixpodcast/Patreon for early access to our eps: https://www.patreon.com/chatabixCrunchy fresh tees and hoodies: https://chatabixshop.com/Contact us: chatabix@yahoo.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Off to a flying start, Joe has returned from holiday complaining about his ailments and then has trouble with his wifi booster. They talk about a recent visit to Spotify HQ, meeting Ben Foster and how nice the pulled pork was. David's intent on telling Joe about his window cleaning expertise again and when to use a chamois or a squeegee. They ponder over why they're not very snappy at podcasting and reflect on an old interview with James Acaster. They put it down to having slow brain speeds. David shows Joe his new guitar.Follow Chatabix on Twitter & Instagram:twitter.com/chatabix1www.instagram.com/chatabixpodcast/Patreon for early access to our eps: https://www.patreon.com/chatabixCrunchy fresh tees and hoodies: https://chatabixshop.com/Contact us: chatabix@yahoo.com Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s David’s turn to go on location for the pod and in spite of the very shaky G4 signal, he’s talking Joe to one of his favourite places - Dartmoor. Starting off at Widecombe in the Moor, he jumps in the Beech Bomber (or should that be Moor Bomber?) and heads to one of Dartmoor’s most famous landmarks, the Haytor Rocks. There he plans to hike up to the top of the hill and show Joe the spectacular views.

Joe’s lined up another surprise guest for David, so he’s back in the spinny chair and really feeling the nerves again. As usual, he desperately tries to guess who it’ll be and this time, after so many failed attempts, may actually have got it right?! Stay tuned to find out who the extra special guest is - so special in fact that we had to make it a two parter.Follow Chatabix on Twitter & Instagram:twitter.com/chatabix1www.instagram.com/chatabixpodcast/Patreon for early access to our eps: https://www.patreon.com/chatabixCrunchy fresh tees and hoodies: https://chatabixshop.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.
