    #354 - A 5 Minute Curry, 10,000 Johnsons and A ULEZ Compliant Wedding

    Are weddings run on facts? Do they need to be ULEZ compliant? Is it a laugh when people respond to questions about dietary requirements with humorous whimsy? These are the questions that are keeping Elis James up at night as the big day approaches.

    Aside from the stresses and strains of organising a wedding, there’s a debate about whether reading out someone else’s tweets makes for good content - followed by 15 minutes of said content. We take a school trip to the abattoir, we spend an unfathomable amount of time on a coach, and Russell Howard drops by to answer a listener’s dilemma.

    There’s nothing we love more than to receive your correspondence. So send it to us on the world’s most exciting medium, email: [email protected]. Or you can WhatsApp the show on 07974 293022

    #353 - Symphonic Bowels, Dry Cardboard Chips and A Better Listener than Henry VIII

    When Elis James meets his idols there’s usually only one outcome: he gets it wrong. But a chance meeting with Britpop royalty this week has given Elis the chance to set this trend right. Will he crumble? Will his symphonic bowels play ball? Will he push his glasses too far up his nose again? All is revealed within.

    Elsewhere, the previous torch carriers for email have done a volte face and turned on the once glorious medium, the boys decide which of them would be the better friend to various mums, and Elis tries to find a connection to a random Welsh person.

    Despite this week’s tirade against the misuse of email, we still want to receive your electronic correspondence. Send it to [email protected] or WhatsApp the show on 07974 293022.

    #352 - Marl, A Digital Bum Examination and Taking 2 Weeks Off Jalapeños

    John’s world has been rocked from beneath him. Our hero's fears have piled up, and a trip to the medical room - hopefully containing one of London’s timidest doctors - is needed. Join us for a deep dive into the underworld.

    In lighter news, dads are still up to their mad tricks, a childhood liar descends into the sewers, and John ponders how many children the podcast has sired.

    Have something you want to share with Elis and John? Send us your emails on [email protected], or send us a WhatsApp on 07974293022.

    #351 - Six Figure Per Month Thickos, The Cymru Connection and Let Him Do His Cow

    In today’s show ********************** ************** *************** ************ **************.

    The previous paragraph was censored by Producer Dave for being too balanced.

    In uncensored information Elis James' Welsh knowledge is put to the test, unique vocal chops are showcased, and there’s a corker of a Shame.

    The place to go for all that correspondence of yours is [email protected]

    #350 - Smoked Milk, Wimbers and Let It Beeb Sounds

    “Surprise surprise”, not the words of the late Cilla Black, but those of Mr Dave Masterman, as the show takes a couple of gastronomic and lyrical turns today, in an effort to a) make a crucial judgement, and b) galvanise one of the four nations of our United Kingdom.

    From Cilla to one of her bezzie mates, there’s some incredibly innovative advertising involving Paul McCartney. Elis is deep in a world solely consisting of Andy Murray and wedding and John has seen something that will make his best groom feel unwell.

    Want to send something in then via electronic mail it’s [email protected] or WhatsApp it to 07974 293 022

    #349 - Emergency Intro, The Nanny Estate and The Third Keir

    Remember the Cheeky Girls of noughties Lembit Opik fame? Well today it’s the Cheeky Boys. And former Lib Dem MP Opik is the only reference to politics you’re getting due to Elis’s unsanctioned cheekiness which manifests itself as being *too* balanced.

    Elsewhere if you had 1,000 guesses as to what TV show John’s been watching this week, you still wouldn’t get it, and Producer Dave files through a formerly unknown Made Up Games repository.

    Want to contribute to the show? Shames, Games, stuff for Elis James? Then it’s [email protected] or 07974 293 022 on WhatsApp for those who are operational members of 21st century society.

    #348 - Jazz Flats, Guff Soup and You Can’t Row With Your Mind

    A schism has come between Elis and John that may signal the end of Britain’s youngest broadcasters’ undisputed reign of the podcast-first platform. It all boils down to one question: are emails about the prices of things in the past interesting or boring? It’s time to pick a side.

    Once a side in this polarising debate has been picked, you are free to enjoy a conversation about French onion soup, a chat about Rob Auton’s lovely new fleece, and a listener calling into question Elis’s claim about never getting DOMS.

    Want to share your thoughts, feelings and vibes? Then email the show at [email protected] or WhatsApp on 07974 293 022.

    #347 - The Great Absolver, Winton’s Well and A Google Docs Kinda Guy

    On the horizon approaching the dusty Elis and John town in the podcast wild west is an indiscernible speck. Over time it goes from a dot, to a blob, to a horse, to a horse with man. And the man is not just a man but a messenger. And that steed is here to drop off huge news.

    As we bask and delve into such massive-massive-it-is news, there’s also bard brilliance, a bleeding corker of a Made Up Game daubed all over the walls and we get a first hand account of encountering one of the greatest Daves of any gen - [do the voice] Mr David Bowie.

    Do you want to send anything in to the only safe haven in the podcast wild west? Then [email protected] is the place to send it. The horse will then download, PDF convert and print all of your emails (as well as any WhatsApps sent to 07974 293 022) and then deliver them right to the saloon.

    #346 - £1 Nights Out, Vaping More Than Breathing and Walking Dion Broken Glass

    What do you get when you cross a mad dad with a donkey? It’s the question we’ve all been asking, and on today’s podcast we finally get the answer: one of the great mad dad stories of all time, a stone-cold hall of famer.

    Walking over broken glass at Wembley Stadium for Adrian Chiles (and Dion Dublin) is also covered, as is heating up a fajita on a shin, and Chloe Petts is on hand to dole out some questionable advice.

    Have you got a mad dad? Did you have a night out on £5 in 1993? Has a boxer ever been kind to you? Then email the show on [email protected] or WhatsApp on 07974 293 022.

    #345 - Burdening Burden, The Ultimate Head and A Dizzy at Tebay

    Move over Geraint Thomas, there are some new Welsh thighs on the cycling scene. Elis’s heroic cycle ride to Brighton is picked over and analysed, as is his newfound insatiable appetite, and his muscle-related chat that bores a fellow 5 Live presenter.

    In a surprising turn of events we also get one step closer to identifying the graffiti artist Banksy, we hear from a listener who has the ‘ultimate head’, and the Petty Parliament moves ever closer to the autocracy we all feared it could become.

    If you want to get in touch with the show then email [email protected] or WhatsApp on 07974 293 022.

    #344 - Generation Bodge Job, The Thinking Drinker’s Degree, and A Wazzaaa of Crosbys

    If podcasts were countries, and episodes were drivers, then this iteration of Elis and John would be covering a hell of a lot of ground. One minute it’s loco coco dads, the next it’s a deep dive into the Gibraltar national football team. And between them you’ve got shy builders, biro yachts, and a cappella jingles.

    Solving your dilemmas has become one of our main priorities, and this week is no different. Matthew Crosby is on hand to help a band member in need, where for some reason the question ‘do you want to be a slimy juggler’ is part of the solution.
