#586 - My Comfort Cutlery Drawer, 37 Minutes of Zappa and 1000g of Beef Mince

Show notes
Gather round dear listeners, for today we record directly from the bus that Isy has thrown Elis under, on multiple occasions in recent weeks. Well, Elis is under the bus and John and Dave are very much on it, enjoying the ride.
Kicking the journey off with some crucial survival tips, there’s discussions about how long you could survive without food or water, and whether you can drink your own urine. Luckily Dave shares that he has ‘never weed on anyone or anything’ and John has ideas for how he would redesign humans - safe to say we’re in good hands.
Who’s on the aux you might ask? Well, as we reminisce about a weekend dancing in Brighton, we can safely assume John has a certain playlist for the ride.
Our first stop is Elis’s infamous cutlery drawer, which left John horrified, sad, and with a sense of lost time. Could a gift from John and Dave be Elis's ticket for freedom? Or is there a long road ahead...
All aboard!

Show notes
Elis has written the most criminally boring novel of all time, totally by accident. Now that’s a skill, and resident money man Johnny JR has spotted a gap in the market and a chance at the big bucks.
Never one to stray far from the finances, John has a one-track mind in today’s episode, with two tantalising tax emails, plus a brief foray into the world of Mr Beast.
Elsewhere, The Cymru Connection reaches new biblical heights, Elis considers signing up for an internship (a new low), and we play a tense game that requires Britain’s Bravest Broadcasters to find the sweet spot slap bang in the middle.

Show notes
Elis and John lead with the question “what are the biggest non-nuclear manmade explosions in history?” On later reflection this wasn’t something which would have worked in the compressed audio world of commercial radio.
But it’s not all about big bangs. Certainly not in John’s current state. There’s many a shared story from listeners on the small kagoule front, and only some of them are squeamish.
John has bought some fruit for the first time in 20 years and has gone down a meringue rabbit hole, whilst we also take in the horrifying sound of the boys at half speed. Plus, for you lucky RSS listeners, for the first time in history, John and Elis name their favourite brands.
Do you have a story of medical circumcision which is vaguely appropriate for a show where kids may overhear it in the car? If you do then wang it over to [email protected]

Show notes
It’s been a week of celebration at E&J towers; Elis has been 12th birthday partying with his daughter (and turned into a master chocolate pourer in the process) and Dave is about to/has just had his big day whilst walking around Harrogate with a bunch of lads. Different ages, different needs.
There’s no celebration for John, however, who puts himself on the back foot trying to defend another on-the-hoof analogy.
Plus, because we’re still remote, there’s the welcome return of the classic game Room Raiders, where the boys rummage through their possessions to find the best items.

Show notes
It’s a remote affair today and there are camera issues from the off. Elis looks like a billionaire, whilst John (your pixelated man on the street) and Dave look like they’re on a Zoom quiz in lockdown.
The reason why we’re remote? Well, Britain’s spokesperson for intimate procedure journeys is back. And don’t worry, he’s got a metaphor based on cagoules that will easily explain everything.
We also hear from friend of the show/chaos merchant Ivo Graham about Elis’s big night out last week, Elis admits that he’s let the people of Cardiff down, and John has a niche request around homophones.

Show notes
We’re creating water cooler moments here on Elis and John. From 'how many t-shirts do you own', to 'is there a God', via the state of play in the treehouse scene. Not sure how or why we got here, but there’s no doubt about it; we’re shaping the nation’s conversations. Move over Traitors, Elis and John are in town.
Lightboards firmly switched up, John describes feeling all the emotions whilst on holiday; overwhelm at the studio Freddie Mercury last recorded in, and fear at the hands (pincers) of a massive scorpion in his bedroom.
All this, plus we are graced by the presence of the nation’s favourite wordswoman Susie Dent, who brings a high-stakes game with a surprising outcome.
If you’re inspired to contribute to one of Elis’s great discussions, send your thoughts to [email protected] right away.

Show notes
Horrific. Seething. Resentful. No, those aren’t the words which Dave is feeling towards City’s owners today. Rather it’s the state of Elis’s head right now. He’s hungover.
Yes he’s been on a bender and is quite delicate. As he handles such a dainty state we’re left to stare down the barrel of a listener idea which gives him such anxiety he’d like to just go work on a farm. However, it could potentially win Best Sponsored Character Assassination at the British Podcast Awards.
There’s also niche discussion on David Pannick, we hear why Elis might be bad at anagrams, and did Ryan Giggs have more caps than Ethan Ampadu?
Make sure to tune in on Tuesday because Elis’s intro is going to be extra weak. We might even hear 5 Live Away Day Part 9.

Show notes
Poor old Elis. Just when he thought he’d been surprised enough this year we go and chuck another one his way. Because a famous ghost from his past is about to stroll into the studio and cause all sorts of emotions.
But before then, a trip down memory lane with a Cymru Connectee gets his blood pumping with shame. And he explains why he’d spend his final day on earth signing up to LinkedIn.
John’s also here, and kicks off the show with his new range of Elis and John bunkers. It’s an odd tone setter, sure, but it is current.
Whilst we’re at it, do you want to surprise Elis with anything? Send it to [email protected].

Show notes
John’s having a nightmare because of a rapidly approaching admin hill AKA a holiday. He’s forgotten to count his t-shirts (but does it in his mind at the start of the show, don’t worry), and then his phone goes off mid-record. All this plus Dave’s confiscated his custard cream brownie until he starts behaving.
Elis on the other hand is buzzing due to an impending trip to Lisbon for the return of his favourite tournament: The Nations League. And he’s had a jazz epiphany.
The Rapid Response Unit is fired up to find out how many t-shirts our listeners own, and we discover why John only listens to Metallica on the toilet.
As announced in the show, we’re now welcoming emails on ANY topic. So send in whatever you fancy to [email protected].

Show notes
There’s been a quiet revolution in John’s life. In one sense everything has changed. In another sense it’s been a quiet couple of weeks. He’s within touching distance of something that no one thought possible: laundry zero.
And continuing the clothes theme, inexplicably there’s a 15 minute debate about what a t-shirt is. We've said it before and we'll say it again: no one else is doing this.
Elis describes his perfect yoga situation, John explains why we need failure and Dave has learned to plait.
Get involved in the debate that’s switching up the lightboards and let us know how many t-shirts you own by emailing [email protected] right this instance.

Hosting on 6 Music has long been Elis’s back up for if John ever retires at Project 2032. Sadly Dave reveals some news which could cause deep damage to this long term strategy. Some surprises cause more anguish than others.
Plus Dave and Elis are officially tired of the titling of the Sir Right Honourable Sir Dr John Robins MBE Esq, and Adrian has too much chard. What on earth is he to do?
Know what to do with too much veg? Well send it to [email protected]. And do get yourself on the Patreon, as, despite the remarkably convoluted plug the boys try to do, Dave is keen to stress that it’s dead good and ad free.

Show notes
Watch out world because there’s a new doctor in town, and he’s got big plans. Yes it’s Dr Robins from now on, and if he’s lucky maybe someone will even chuck an MBE at the end. This feels significant.
But who is our esteemed doctor broadcasting with today? We’ll tell ya; a man who can’t keep his defining characteristic within the confines of his own podcast (Elis), and an iguanadon (Dave). All is explained within.
Plus, Sam and Ash from Skinwigs pop by to play a music-based Made Up Game that sees Elis and John trapped in a collaborative hell.

Show notes
Big week for Elis because he’s cried all the liquid out of his body in the cinema. Why? Well it’s obviously because a South American woman named her dog Bonehead. And he’s in a spoilery mood after his big premiere trip. Well as spoilery as you can be about a film about a greatest hits tour show anyway.
To bring him back down to earth Elis does have his dirty / clean laundry aired on the biggest comedy show on TV. Dave thinks we’ve got a big exclusive from it which is really stretching the threadbare definition of the term.
We also receive quite an authoritarian email and hear of the hellscape of being a club rep in the noughties.
Have you got any sartorial superstitions? If so, record us a voice note and send it over to [email protected] for our Rapid Response Unit.

Remember where you are when you listen to today’s episode, because it’s one for the history books. It’s earth-shattering. It’s a leap forward in what’s possible in broadcasting. It’s one small step for man, one giant leap for podcast-kind.
Because Elis James is about to eat a prune for the very first time in his life. We’ve got the tension music ready. This feels significant. This is historeh.
But the innovation doesn’t stop there, as John reimagines PMQs and puts forward his plans for a brighter, better Britain.
There’s a Cymru Connection bombshell, Elis gets trapped in resin, and John becomes a crossfit ghost.

Show notes
John’s hammering away at the word count of his opinionated column again. This time in his crosshairs it’s e-scooters. Politically he’s a hard person to work out. Which from a balance perspective is actually very helpful.
There's also reports from Pembrokeshire, and we hear from a character who has piqued the boys' interest lately.
Plus, when there’s news of (yet more) boundary breaking content to be fed into the digestive tract of the British audio industry, sometimes you just need it to sit in the stomach for a few days to build suspense. Because Elis James, will, for the first time will [REDACTED FOR SPOILERS]. You don’t want to miss it.

Show notes
It’s Lou Sanders FM once again and boy has she got Producer Dave sweating. From a pretty much unusable show introduction, to an anecdote that definitely flirts with the term ‘radio friendly’, one can only assume that Dave is dreaming of Elis’s swift return...
But for now it’s Big Mummy and her Fact Factory, as Lou dishes up some tasty truths in the form of surprise facts about chickens and hiccups. One thing everyone can agree on: it’s a different show when Lou’s in town.
John has finally met his match in dessert form, there’s a brief encounter with the paranormal, and a Made Up Game rule sends shockwaves through the team.

Lou is here! And she’s already made one friend and one enemy on the way in. Buckle up, in the first few minutes there are bad Welsh accents (sorry Elis) and promiscuous tales flying round the studio. Safe to say Dave is wishing he was still on holiday…
Speaking of, John’s been on his holidays and even swam in the sea, twice. Get in the sea, change your state - Lou’s always said it. The colder the better. The wetter the better. Turns out, you can’t worry when you’re looking for little fish.
Elsewhere, Lou is taking a stand in our all-new, all-precarious and all-very-delicately-dealt-with feature: Lou Sues Again. Plus, we’ve fired up the ol’ Rapid Response Unit to hear directly from you the people about some of your longest relationships.

Show notes
The tensest feature in global podcasting turns 100 today. That’s right, Elis James attempts his 100th Cymru Connection. This. Feels. Significant.
His heart feels hot but his bum feels cold. Luckily his nads feel just right. He keeps repeating ‘Ruthin’ over and over again and his core temperature resembles that of an ill person. Can he reach the magic 50%? For the 100th time, let’s see.
In other news there’s a new producer in town, as the brilliant Ruth Husko takes her place in the hotseat in a bid to tame the unproducables. We learn how Ruth played a vital role in hunkifying John’s book, and she chairs a Made Up Game that leads to one contestant experiencing a near death experience (it’s a word-based game, so we’ll let you decided who it might be…).
All this, plus Mick Hucknall enters the scene in a brand new chapter of ‘Contact’.

In significant happenings John reveals the longest relationship of his life and what has caused it to break down. Namely, a Boggle addiction. We also discover the silent reality of what it’s like to be his neighbour.
Elsewhere, Dave has gone to a cuddly toy exhibition in Harrogate but we plough on in his absence. However the occasion where Dave can’t cut the tension when Elis tries to prove John wrong is noticeable.
Plus, we receive UK highways enthusiasm from the US of A. “Just tell me more about the roads.”

Show notes
It’s a very prison-based episode today, as John reveals he might be going there for petty crime, and Elis draws parallels between Albert Camus’s prison-residing outsider Meursault and Johnny JR. Was Camus foreshadowing the life of our favourite Bristol-born broadcaster?
But don’t worry, it’s not all highbrow existentialism. John discovers another self-penned story on his hard drive that involves farts (but crucially, is not ABOUT farts).
Also expect answers to the questions: Can you Cymru Connect over a horse? Can you take your odd socks to a raffle? And is the sky really a neighbourhood?

Robins has had a disaster. The sort of disaster that should only besiege Elis James. But what could it be? Tardiness? Something indicative of cognitive decline? Or maybe far worse?
We also receive some very weak vindication for Elis after the mockery he received for his book openings, and we ask, would a 20 year old with a heavy goods vehicle licence be permitted to drive The Sportage?

Show notes
Well, well, well, well, well. Elis has officially completed the best gig of his life, and that’s even without his routine about Black Bart the pirate. A mere five and a half hours away by train, we have discovered his emotional hinterland: the Eisteddfod in Pembrokeshire.
But away from the crowds, the choirs and the clog dancers, away from the druids and the dairy farmers, can our Welsh Hero handle the pressure back in the studio and Cymru Connect away from the motherland?
Plus, is Dave the captain of a sinking ship? John seems convinced, after a surprise reading of The Ballad of ‘Reading Jil’. But move over, Oscar Wilde. We have some literary legends of our own as we play a Made Up Game for the ages. Let’s just say you’ll be seeing The Adventures of Flogworth and Blimp on the shelves very soon...probably.

Show notes
The literary world has been set alight after a new best selling author was unveiled 30 years too late the other day. Is John Robins about to redefine the grounded motoring sci-fi genre for the 21st century? The first step is getting pointers from someone who’d consider 'thousands' of book sales to be small fry.
Elsewhere, Elis is being consistently told how hot and sexy he is by the British population. Well Welsh Elis that is. John also gets corrected on the purpose of high speed rail, Adrian tells us about his superb clutch control and a Mad Dad puts a keyboard in the oven. It’s a bumper one.

Elis may have been struggling with delayed trains, but fear not - it turns out our Producer Dave has a hotline to the Big Dog himself: Bandy Urnham. Nothing a quick phone call can’t fix…
Plus, if you thought John's now-legendary Bag of Death was but a distant memory, think again, as the boys uncover the beginnings of a creative endeavour that our Thornbury wordsmith began at the age of just 13. And lo, we enter the era of the Password Protected Bag of Digital Death.
But enough of passwords, protection and privacy. Elis is still on a mission to connect with his fellow Welsh folk in a tense edition of the Cymru Connection.
Plus, we welcome a brand new feature - highlighted in pea green on Dave's big list of new ideas, no less - The Rapid Response Unit.

Show notes
John has shaken up the show at a big meeting in Elis’s absence. He should be prepared. In the meantime, comedy fans have been getting the true Elis James stand up experience: Having your joggers called s*** and then introducing Chris McCausland. Get ready Albert Hall. Maybe the mojo does need to return.
Plus, the words reaping and sowing once again come to mind, as Buckinghamshire’s most hubristic man sees the warning light chickens come home to roost.
Also, John has a frequent male escort and a new friend. They are not the same.

#561 - Foxer & Foxee, Count Connection Face and Silly Sausage Britain

Show notes
Welcome to the silliest podcast around. It’s headphones filled with custard, it’s microphones made of cake, it’s stink bombs in the studio. And all because we have one of the nation’s silliest sausages in our midst: The Prince of Pranks, the goofiest goofball, Mr Elis James.
After all the hijinks and japes it’s down to serious chat: Elis and John map out the future of AI, which worryingly ends with us being breastfed by computers…
All this, plus Elis meets his Moriarty in the Cymru Connection, in an attempt to connect that means so much more than just improving his stats. John unearths yet another talent in this week’s paint-based Made Up Game, and we chat to the man who ran across America 4 times, Rob Pope.

If you like your podcasts jam-packed with top quality content, then boy do we have a show for you.
First up: what’s it like to be in a creative powerhouse couple? A quite stressed Elis lifts the lid. And he explains why he needs Daniel Kitson to pull his finger out.
Next John talks about being a lion of the plains, and walking into a saloon wearing all black. Admittedly it is quite confusing, but stick with it, as it leads to a big revelation and allows Elis to gleefully don his Welsh tourist board cap.
Then we receive 'one of the most wrongheaded emails' John has ever read in his entire life, and we learn how Elis would react if a low bandit were to sever him limb from limb.

#559 - Here We Hit It, The Calmru Connection and Darwin’s Flatmate Dave
Sad news everyone, Elis is retiring. We thought Johnny JR would go first, but Elis has beaten him to it. He’s peaked. He’s reached his zenith and there ain’t nowhere to go from there. But worry not, because …
Show notes
Sad news everyone, Elis is retiring. We thought Johnny JR would go first, but Elis has beaten him to it. He’s peaked. He’s reached his zenith and there ain’t nowhere to go from there.
But worry not, because he’s referring to his DJing career and not his podcasting one…
Then it’s onto kids' parties and the big question: is John’s conduct in the Bureau de Change of the Mind the best training ground for dealing with 20 hungry kids?
All this plus some top tier shame, a cracking Cymru Connection, and a Made Up Game that unearths the bombshell revelation that John’s book 'Thirst' was a ripoff of the OG blubography, Charles Darwin’s 'On the Origin of Species'.

Show notes
John, Dave and Calvin Harris are with you today to discuss all things DJ’ing. Incidentally, Calvin Harris can only DJ when there’s another wifi connection. If there isn’t then he rings his indie disco mate and the air turns blue.
As well as hearing about all the hottest dance gigs, Dave drops an absolute bombshell within seconds of starting the record. Something he’s held back for years amidst the oceans of dross that this show has covered.
Also, John deigns to tell Elis’s hero about his lovemaking backdrop, and ring the poem bell! Because Dave must reflect on a dual possibility moment that the vast majority wish wasn’t being referenced. There’s also some bold male behaviour floating around from a man whose clothes are all disposable and another who reuses calendars.

Show notes
It’s not often you get to experience a world first. But here you go, you’re about to hear the first ever documented Sheffield-first, podcast-second, terrestrial-radio-third broadcast. Is this a defining moment for podcasting? For entertainment? For global culture as a whole? Only time will tell.
Elis, John and Dave recently graced the stage at Sheffield’s Crossed Wires festival, and here for your listening pleasure are some choice cuts. There’s all your podcast favourites; your Mad Dads, your Shame Wells, your Common Zense.
Plus, Elis does his damnedest to connect with a Welsh person in the audience, and there’s a chaotic Made Up Game that really stretches the limits of acceptable podcasting.
