I'm an original Chatterbiscuit and a first-time emailer. I'm a 28-year-old gardener. I've been in the trade for most of my life. I've run my own gardening biz for the last couple of years.

Lovely.

148.252 - 165.632 Unknown

Having listened to the pod for years, any mention of David's gardening world and potential gardening business is tantalising. I charge per job rather than per hour. As David said, much more efficient to be in and out after blitzing a garden.

Chapter 2: How does a gardener balance work and running?

167.234 - 188.266 Unknown

I work all year round on regular clients and commercial sites, and I love listening to Chattamix whilst working. Happy to discuss the world of setting up your own gardening business and all the characters that come with it. Also, a very keen runner. Attempting my first marathon, an ultra marathon this year. Jesus works.

189.048 - 204.941 Unknown

I would love a deep dive analysis of Joe's first marathon a couple of years back. Thanks again for the pod and for the shout outs to gardeners you often give. Always perks me up. Have a good week. Angus Abbott for Shires Gardening Services. Four Shires.

204.961 - 212.376 David

214.64 - 230.711 Unknown

Oh, there it is. Here we go. I'm looking at it on Facebook. Go on. Gardening services across Bristol. Oh. Regular garden maintenance, lawn mowing, hedge cutting, flowerbed maintenance and planting, soft landscaping, garden tidies up. What's soft landscaping? It's got a lovely little van.

0

231.452 - 238.16 David

What's that? What's soft landscaping? Do you know what? I don't know. Soft landscaping.

Chapter 4: What challenges do couples face when relocating?

238.2 - 244.808 Unknown

It refers to living elements of the garden. Adding colour, texture. Is it just planting?

0

245.449 - 249.514 David

Yeah, like, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I was about to add something. I don't know.

250.692 - 265.189 Unknown

So that's four Shires Gardening Services in Bristol. In my opinion, the best. Last June, he put... Basically, he's added a new mower to his fleet, and she is a beaut.

265.209 - 276.463 David

And I'm looking over there. My mum has a real problem if someone says she about a car or a bit of... Oh, really? I'll tell her not to listen to Mailbag 21.

277.608 - 279.051 Unknown

Oh, I'm looking at it now.

Chapter 5: What humorous pub jokes are discussed?

279.071 - 295.101 Unknown

I'm looking at his van. It's just taking me back. What state's his van in? Good state. He's got four Shires Gardening Services on the back and on the side. So that's been a... He's made that decision. I'm going to get that done. I never did that. It's too high.

0

296.023 - 309.622 David

There's someone who I know had a business... And someone took it over and made it flourish. And you can just, anyway, that's what I was going to talk about, but I can't. It's quite interesting when you see someone make other decisions.

0

309.642 - 310.904 Unknown

When it works. Yeah.

Chapter 6: What is the story behind the washing machine incident?

310.924 - 322.943 David

You know, like it was struggling, then someone went, I'll have that. Oh, right. And then you go, fuck. And you're like, oh, look, they've done that. They've, they've tarted all that up and they've made that, you know, that's a real success.

Chapter 7: How does the new job at Crunch relate to the podcast?

347.273 - 348.995 David

Well, we'll back and forth about it.

0

351.819 - 357.346 Unknown

Give us a grand. Well, he might get a couple of customers for the next 10 years. He's quids in.

0

358.207 - 374.771 David

What do we get out of it? A good chunk of it, he'll be working for nothing to pay us. He'll have to do 15 jobs before he breaks even or whatever. Right. Next email. Where do you want to go?

0

374.971 - 383.904 Unknown

Right back to the beginning. Okay. Dear Chatterbix, this is from Chris, and this is 2021 May. We've just started the pod. No way.

We thought, since upsetting Joe is a popular regular feature... Still is, pal.

408.735 - 417.296 David

There we go. There's a little insight, isn't there? There's a little insight. The seed of the pod. Fucking thank you. What's his name? Right.

417.696 - 426.711 Unknown

Now, I'm going to say, who bought the producer of Spoons on in May 2021 to wet my sacking?

426.731 - 441.282 David

Well, as you were saying earlier in the last pod, it's what they're hearing. That's not what you... Yeah, it's what they're hearing.

441.302 - 451.975 Unknown

You could get him to talk about his incident on the show Taskmaster. He absolutely fucked... Whenever I mention Taskmaster, you go, oh, for fuck's sake.

451.995 - 474.122 David

I get arsed all the time. I'm fine, move on. But lovely little seed into it, though. That's the bit I'm interested in. If we're interested in upsetting Joe... Oh, that's interesting you picked up on that. Fascinating. Fascinating. I'm not... Right.
