#591 - Panini O’Clock, Sugar My Puddings and The Old Breakfast Cheesecake

•

Wales is a major player in the panini scene. Elis opens our eyes and our minds about the toasted sandwich that fuels the nation. Where was the panini invented? When was the word first mentioned in the press? And which came first, the sticker or the food? Look no further. It’s time for a panini.


Elsewhere, Dave is working on project Hunkageddon 2027 and has bought some adjustable dumbbells, ignoring the advice of our resident wise stepdad, John. And what of Johnny JR? He’s been in Dictionary Corner with Dent and has proven cheesecake really can be breakfast.


All this, plus Elis takes a trip into the Wider Gwion Universe in the Cymru Connection and Dave loses faith in a Made Up Game.

    01:00:48|
    Elis couldn’t use his favourite spoon this morning and he’s all over the shop. He also had to walk around a lot of leaves. How can he broadcast in such a state? But it’s fine because he’s very much in his mid-forties.On the John front, the recriminations from last week’s revelations continue to spill over and we also ask whether Dave is the Ken Bruce of podcasting. Is he Tony Blackburn? Or is he Chandler from Friends applying for a job in marketing?Plus there’s an all time Mad Dad featuring second hand gravity boots, a wetsuit and a semi-naked Dad.Got something to sling us?

  • #588 - One Hundred and Pourteen Charges

    01:04:20|
    There’s a dark cloud hanging over today’s show. And that’s not an oncoming radiation cloud a la Nevile Shute. John is in desperate need of David Pannick KC. Simply put, the integrity of a decade of Made Up Games now has questions over it. And Robins is defiant. Is there now an asterisk over ever ‘win’ John has accumulated when he has ground Elis’s dignity into the dirt? What was he getting away with before the days of fully visualised podcasts? Is John simply a sham player? The boys also taste meringues. For the meringue visuals get yourself over to the Instagram!If you've got any more information for the independent commission then send it to 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
  • #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?

    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?

  • #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
