Elis James and John Robins
#580 - Seething Resentment, Lance Legstrong and Director Deputy Director General
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.
Our latest Adventures episode, a long awaited return to an escape room is out now HERE!

#587 - 101 Damatians, Mr Swede and Can I Check a Text Message!?
01:01:31|Today’s show is one of scenes and systems. We start with a quick dip in the children’s swimming pool scene, and quickly discover that Elis isn’t a fan.After towelling off it’s a trip to the pantomime scene, and the burning question of whether digital pantomimes are the future. There’s also a quick sub-stop off at the dame scene; are there multiple dame opportunities? When do you sign on the dotted line for dame work?Then we encounter the Samantha System. Could this small suggestion revolutionise the Cymru Connection? After today’s outing, you’ll definitely think that something needs to be done…Lastly we test Elis and John’s abilities in the pouring scene, in a Made Up Game that gets tensions rising and hearts racing.Do you have thoughts on any of the above scenes/systems?

#586 - My Comfort Cutlery Drawer, 37 Minutes of Zappa and 1000g of Beef Mince
58:18|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!Get in touch hello@elisandjohn.comFor lots of exclusive EJJR #content, join our Patreon at patreon.com/elisandjohn.For weekly visual highlights, head to youtube.com/@elisandjohn.For everything else, head to elisandjohn.com.Elis James & John Robins is a Significant Production
#585 - Eternal Torment, The Parable of the Cymru Connection, and Late, Lost and Sorry
01:09:36|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.Do you add mustard to your porridge? Are you eating it with your rice pudding?

#584 - The PRS Club, Sex Walks and The Tiny Cold Woman Who Wants To Live In John’s Fridge
01:10:49|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 hello@elisandjohn.com
#583 - Podglomerates, Karaoke (A) and Always Go Nations League
01:09:57|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.Send in your Mad Dads, your Shame Wells, and everything in between to hello@elisandjohn.com.For lots of exclusive EJJR #content, join our Patreon at patreon.com/elisandjohn.For weekly visual highlights, head to youtube.com/@elisandjohn.For everything else, head to elisandjohn.com.The Elis James and John Robins Show is a Significant Production.
#582 - Text Steff, Chasing the Nightcap and Nuance from the Gaps
57:51|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.To get yourself in touch with the show, email hello@elisandjohn.com.For lots of exclusive EJJR #content, join our Patreon at patreon.com/elisandjohn.For weekly visual highlights, head to youtube.com/@elisandjohn.For everything else, head to elisandjohn.com.The Elis James and John Robins Show is a Significant Production.
#581 - Unofficial Bumbags, Anti-Cunning Disease and Susie Dent
01:00:20|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 hello@elisandjohn.com right away.For lots of exclusive EJJR #content, join our Patreon at patreon.com/elisandjohn.For weekly visual highlights, head to youtube.com/@elisandjohn.For everything else, head to elisandjohn.com.The Elis James and John Robins Show is a Significant Production.
#579 - Pad Cymru, Human Alps and A Constant Perma-Rolling Crisis
01:04:21|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 hello@elisandjohn.com.Find out about our latest Adventures episode, which is dropping on Friday 2nd October at 11am, HERE!For lots of exclusive EJJR #content, join our Patreon at patreon.com/elisandjohn.For weekly visual highlights, head to youtube.com/@elisandjohn.For everything else, head to elisandjohn.com.The Elis James and John Robins Show is a Significant Production.
