Elis James and John Robins

#541 - Hi Jacob, Big Brynn the Hill and 14 Connections by Tenby

After spending the last few weeks in the shadows of two of this country’s greatest runners, one podcaster has finally stepped out to make a name for himself. Elis James, the great Cymru Connector himself, has saddled up and attempted to cycle the great nation he calls home. And somehow, despite raising bucketloads of cash for charity in the process, it’s left him in dire financial straits… But he’s not the only one out of pocket, as Johnny Warbucks gets a dent in his wallet after a wily listener takes him up on a throwaway line from his book. Money aside, there’s chat about owl farming, whether the Gallagher brothers recently inherited a trove of rare stamps, and the chance for a familial hat trick in the Cymru Connection. Get involved in the only way that makes sense: by emailing hello@elisandjohn.com.

#540 - Hate Merch, (Non-Predator) and Institutional/Pedantic Failures

“Life’s too short to drink bad wine, when people are wine, and drinking is being near them and having them in your life.” Another wise and pithy quote from the mind of John Robins. You’d think that’s included in his wise and pithy autobiography about alcohol. In fact it’s not, because he gives them out for free here. Gratis. Speaking of all the relevant pith, John’s a bestseller! Isn’t that neat. No. 2 General Hardback. And No. 1 if you include a vast variety of audio platforms which Big Bird Book won’t care to mention. Elsewhere, Dave’s brought a present, a listener has been radicalised against Elis and there are yet more sackings in John’s crosshairs. Plus, for the RSS & Patreon lot amongst you, you have been ringfenced! And in said ringfence the boys demonstrate their expertise of doing yet another incredibly easy to understand plug. And do remember, t-shirts can be given to people for different reasons. hello@elisandjohn.com [hello@elisandjohn.com] if you work in the Treasury and have jargon to send us.

#539 - An Odd King, The Lash Lament and Not Everything’s Istanbul

We’re living in a Johnapalooza. With the release of his Blubography (trademark: Elis James) last week, John’s been touring the country. But do any of his shows bear resemblance to the hallowed 1976 Sex Pistols gig at the Lesser Free Trade Hall? Elis and Dave do their best to draw parallels.  Away from book and tour shenanigans, Elis threatens to swear enough to make the show unusable in a bid to halt a guessing game, John imagines how he’d brush his hair if he were an 'odd king', and there’s a controversial Made Up Game (featuring a new all-time classic jingle) that includes not one, not two, but three name changes.  And remember folks, not everything’s Istanbul.  Send us your wares via the always accommodating channel of email: hello@elisandjohn.com [hello@elisandjohn.com].

#538 - Gareth Birthday, Ron Robins and Chapinhanding Tucci

It’s John Robins day. John Robins Contentaggedon. You simply can’t move for Robins. Because John sits at the crest of a content wave. Megatisation, another podcast series, marathon, birthday, millions of interviews and book release have all come as a quick flurry of jabs to the midriff. But is he all tuckered out? Is it all too much? Clearly not because he’s got another mad mind game on the go that only Robins could formulate. He’s back. He’s back in the big time. He won 9 grand yesterday. But it’s not all about John, even though today kind of is. Elis is having to accept that The Swans may not trump swans for his son. "Away trip son?" “Well it just feels like a waste of a day.” Plus, who have you chapinhanded?

#537 - Johning, But Cyriously and Lovers Gonna Love

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. It’s a tale of two anecdotes today, and in a way both of them fall into the latter category. Elis has been donning his corporate hat on no sleep and nearly no thumb, while John has been encountering some very public acts of love. With the dust finally settled on all things marathon, we’re back to regular programming: a Cymru Connection that’s literally staring Elis in the face, and a Made Up Game that leaves everyone giggling like school children. Have you ever encountered public love-making? Did you nearly chop off your thumb then swear at a room full of insurers? Let us know on hello@elisandjohn.com.
