You can choose.
Let's do a newie. Let's do the very latest one.
The very latest email.
Yeah.
We've had sent in. Okay. This is from Ryan Gibson. Hello, chaps. I'm a new Chattabix listener, and I've just finished listening to all the episodes. I'm 36 and can relate to so much of what you talk about. Fuck. I've therefore come to the conclusion that Chattabix is more of a mindset set than age. I'm not a qualified psychologist like that other guy, though, so make of that what you will.
Who's the other guy? Wasn't he the guy that said, oh, my God, it's snowing. Oh, yeah, it was snowing here earlier, yeah. Don't trample.

Chapter 2: What challenges do canal boat owners face?
Edgewise. Back to Ryan. Finally, a question, if I may. And be honest, did you call it Cockfield so that fellas would get caught searching for cock on their TV? My wife doesn't believe me. What?
How would you search for cock on your TV?
Well, if you've heard of a show called Cockfields, you'd search cock, and then any show with cock in the title would come up. Yeah, that's why we did it. Go on, an old one?
Go on, old cock. Yeah. How old? Yeah, yeah. As old as you can get.
Okay.
Um... Saw the Orient Express the other day. You what? Saw the Orient Express the other day. Where? When I went into London. It was outside London. Oh. Anyway, just feeling.

Oh, don't let, why don't you just let me have that moment? Is that why you said that?
So you'd catch me out?

This is from Alex. Hello, Joe and David. I always listen to the podcast, so I'm a postman. I've nothing else better to do whilst on delivery. Anyway, I'm currently on holiday in South Devon. We popped into Totnes for a nice lunch. I got chatting to the bar staff and got onto the subject of David Earl. Apparently, he frequently visits the pubs and is sometimes a bit grouchy. That's a lie.
I've never been to the pubs.
Does it say that, really? Yeah.

Chapter 4: What amusing public sightings of David are shared?
Or he just blanked me.
Oh, it's not another good one, is it?
No.
You're coming across awfully.
I did have another thought to cut after a photo, but retracted that thought thinking that it would have been pathetic. I bottled it and couldn't bring myself to call out again. Opportunity passed. I felt the disappointment on the rest of the walk home and a clear missed opportunity.
Well, sorry about that. Have you had many crunch crunches recently? No. Do you know what I had two days ago in Totnes? This.
Don't know, were you grouchy or something in the pub? No, this lady came up to me and went, oh, hello, should my friend name their dog after you? What the fuck? Seriously? Well, I went, pod. I went, like, what? What name? She went, Earl. Wow. Yeah. Yeah, amazing. And then we said, how'd that make you feel? I guess lovely.
Did you go, one weird mate said, get this puppy. What should we name it? What happened? I'm going to call it... What about naming it after David Earl? What?
Shall we name the dog after... Well, maybe what? Or they might have gone, yeah, great idea.

Chapter 5: What happened during David's music shop encounter?
Honestly?
I think so.
Yeah.
Wow.
You needed him to know. Do you know what I want to say? You're a filmmaker, are you, mate?
Are you? Have you been nominated for a BAFTA?
Yeah, but I didn't. I kept quiet. Oh, you're a filmmaker, are you, mate? Get your feet off your fucking counter. Stop watching your shitty laptop.
Oh, God. Oh, God. I'll just imagine being stood next to you. Hang on a minute.
Honestly, if you'd been with me, you would have gone, God, David's really trying just to be normal here. Honestly, I'm ramping it up for the pod. I'm ramping it up for the pod.

Chapter 6: What are the listeners' thoughts on TV prop storage?
What did you say to that? Oh, well, yeah, yeah, yeah, no. And leaving was really, anyway, lovely to me.
That's it coming on the pod.
I'd love to get him on. Really mad. It was a mad conversation. It is him from The Office, isn't it?
Yeah. It's exactly that. There's someone I know who is like that, who I know a little bit. And I do think, like, when you see this person interact with people that know her, there's a lot of, oh, right, you know. And then, like, two people sort of look at each other and kind of, you know, go, that's that person being like that. And I do go, what are they like?
What's their life like when they're out and about?
just probably getting into those a lot i felt like i was dealing with like an 18 year old at a level like in the common room yeah just when all this sort of mattered and then i started getting involved a bit there's someone in my life i know someone who has a kind of one-upmanship thing
and I always come away from my interactions going, fucking hell, why did I say that? Because you find yourself going, well, yeah, I went, I didn't, yeah, no, I've sort of done a similar, and you're like, why do I care? Yeah, I know. You can't get caught up in it. Yeah, you can.
And that's what gets around the town. Anyway, I hardly go to that town. I couldn't believe in that moment. I cared.
It's this weird thing. You can't let that be that, just like that. You can't just be accepting of what they say.

Just listened to your latest mailbag ep and heard a listener asking about Ben Shepard's tipping point machine. Okay.
