    S3 Ep 468: David’s At The Dentist Again - Part 2
    We left the last episode on a right cliffhanger, so hold on tight for the big reveal - just how did David get on at the Dental Implant Centre?! But this is Groundhog Day podding after all, so you know the drill - plenty more repetitious dentistry chat. And stay tuned for some properly dramatic news about his Bath move. There’s also a lot of awful 4G reception from David, so apologies for that. All in all, it’s a classic bit of Chatabix.

    S11 Ep 467: David’s At The Dentist Again - Part 1
    David’s about to go back to the dentist for some more work on his teeth - or should that be the Dental Implant Centre? Either way, he’s pretty anxious again and speaks to Joe beforehand to explain exactly what he’s having done and how much it’s all costing. They also discuss the awkwardness of teeth whitening, read out some dental surgery reviews, consider death (of course) and wonder if all podcasters are ‘just a bit shit’. Joe also points out that they might be repeating a lot of this from their previous dentist episode, but none-the-less has another go at telling David about his hernia op. It’s a proper Groundhog Day edition of the pod. Make sure to check out part 2 to find out how the appointment went.

    S11 Ep 465: Joe’s Embarrassing BBQ Games
    Joe went to a friend’s BBQ at the weekend, where all the guests played lots of games in the garden. He knows he got very competitive about it all and fortunately for us, some of the action was filmed. So he reluctantly sends David a few of the video clips for an analysis of his behaviour. And it turns out Joe’s excitement when celebrating was just as embarrassing as he remembers. David digs in to make the most of the discomfort - this is one deliciously awkward episode. Enjoy!

    S11 Ep 462: David’s Bought A Cold Tub
    In some very exciting news, David’s bought a cold tub and of course Joe wants him to get into it on the pod. But for a number of reasons he won’t today, so that’s the end of that for the moment (watch this space). David does have a boxer-size class later in the morning though, so he does some demonstrations for Joe. In true Chatabix fashion, the conversation then spirals off into a whole host of miscellaneous delights. They even have a little competition over how long they can crouch down leaning against a wall for. It’s all go on today’s show.

    S11 Ep 461 Special Guest: Tim Oliver - The David Brent Impersonator
    On today’s show, our very special guest is the world’s best David Brent impersonator, Tim Oliver. So once Joe and David have calmed down after first seeing and hearing him in character (he’s so good it’s all a bit overwhelming), they chat to Tim about how on earth he got into it all. Plus, appearances at work parties, stag-do’s and a even wake, doing 1000’s of Cameo videos, how best to maintain a permanent goatee and the time he got to interview Ricky Gervais himself. It has to be said, Tim is one of the guy’s favourite guests ever - fact!

    S11 Ep 460 Usual Drivel: Thinking About Getting A Dog
    It’s another electric start to the show with the guys both pumped and ready for action. Not really - this is Monday morning podding after all. Once they eventually wake up and have a chat about their weekends, David reveals that he’s bought a hamster for his son. But unfortunately, he’s already worrying about it dying. So Joe tells him about the sickly dog his family had when he was growing up. It just so happens that David’s really thinking about getting a dog at the moment, so he asks Joe loads of questions about what it’s like to look after one. They don’t quite see eye to eye on the matter and decide to way up the pros and cons - with the picking up of its shit seemingly of primary concern.
