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

    #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: elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk. Or you can WhatsApp the show on 07974 293022

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

    #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 elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk or WhatsApp the show on 07974 293022.

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

    #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.

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

    #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 elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk

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

    #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 elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk 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 elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk or 07974 293 022 on WhatsApp for those who are operational members of 21st century society.

It’s good stuff, Dave…

Ring the good radio bell on every episode - it never fails to make me laugh out loud and feel like I have known these three all my life, and that, feels significant.

My favourite

Never miss an episode!

Brilliant!

I love this podcast! Actually shows (at least to me, a man) the positive aspects of masculinity. But if that sounds too heavy, it’s mostly just hilarious pisstaking. Always cheers me up, with only a mild side effect of wanting to be Welsh.
