Elis James and John Robins

It’s a funny old episode today due to the circular way this podcast is recorded. In one sense you could say that John and Dave HAVE run the marathon (indeed post-mara John does make a brief appearance), but in another, very real sense you could argue that they HAVEN’T run the marathon.

Did they finish it? Who knows (yes they did). How did it go? We’ll have to find out (John was caught lubing his nether regions). Was a new world record achieved? Maybe (it was, but by whom?). All answers to be revealed in a completely unconfusing way in our next episode.

But onto today’s pod, and it’s a biggie. There's a lot of exploding going on, some life lessons are learned, and PM John faces some tough questions about his conduct.

All this, plus a debut death-themed game and a coffee machine meltdown.

#535 - Heck & Mess, John’s Grave Lecture and A Walk-Walk Technique

It’s T-2 until Marathon Day. The trainers are being laced. The talc is being applied. And the Ass Magic is getting to work. This is the pre-game build up. That half an hour where Carragher and Neville talk about a variety of hypotheticals.

Do you find the marathon talk boring? Well it’s what we’re doing, so ‘jog on’. But that does mean we’re getting very close to the final boss of Running To Win and Hating Yourself.

And whisper it quietly, but no matter how he gets on this weekend, the John who used to hate exercise should be very proud of how far he’s come.

But it’s not a marathon, it’s a decathlon... of content. Those events include: John crying at a dating show, Elis not getting Buddhism, and eating 6 baked potatoes in 24 hours.

#534 - Berating The Hips, #TeamCharles and National Growers of the Year Awards 2011

Two towering national figures dominate today’s podcast; bloobs and David Attenborough. Bloobs because John has realised he lives in heaven and he backs the Chilterns. Attenborough because John’s been watching his new (filthy) TV show and Elis has been having nightmares about knocking him down the stairs.

Three other culturally significant totems also feature: First there’s the new DG who meets John (in a show intro that Elis labels ‘a real case study into the workings of John’s mind’).

Then there’s Steve Coogan and his historic aggressive vibing with Robins.

And thirdly, and probably most importantly, there’s the Cymru Connection. Elis has a new approach to reaching 50%, and all he needs is a complete list of all of Wales’s teachers…

#533 - Backing Brittin, Destination Bloob and Dormice! Dormice! Dormice!

Huge news. Elis has nearly got into a fight. He nearly lamped a bloke because he confused Llanfairfechan with Penmaenmawr*. Of course he didn’t. Rather he was being a stand up citizen protecting this nation’s highways. 

But heroism doesn’t pay, because it’s also time for the semi-regular spousal Elis James rinse. Isy's been talking about Elis on other platforms, which means great insight for us all. What is he like away from the limelight of one of the UK’s most megatised podcasts? Until what time every morning is he in his boxers? Does he really quote football cliches to his wife? 

Elsewhere, could we record John’s therapy sessions for bonus content? Does Adrian Chiles like swimming? And there’s massive stuff going down in the Rodders-Winter Universe. 

*In all fairness they’re right next to each other on the A55.

#532 - Cat Yoghurt, Snatching Defeat and David’s Got 19 Bikes

Quick hypothetical Q: If you’re running a marathon for the first time (because you’ve realised your bones actually aren’t too heavy to run) and you want to get advice from someone, who do you turn to?

Roger Bannister? Not possible. Forrest Gump? Not possible again. Oh, what about the world class athlete who held the record for the fastest women's marathon for 16 years? What, Paula Radcliffe? Yeah, just a bit mate! Strap in for some gold-plated advice from one of the best to ever do it.

Elsewhere Elis has been Cymru Connecting like there’s no tomorrow. He’s going back to the 60s, he’s getting maiden names confirmed, he’s Derren Browning wedding guests who haven’t even asked for it. Can his midweek connecting help his in-game performance?

Lastly Dave drops the bombshell that he’s got guinea pigs, but don’t worry, he hasn’t got lad ones.

If you’re enjoying what you’re hearing/seeing and want to get involved, you can! Via the magical medium of email. Just send your bits and bobs to hello@elisandjohn.com.

#531 - Trauma Shirts, Pavarotti the Hamster and Paula Radcliffe

Elis has a hot chest and feels spacey, whilst John’s got his thrice a decade hay fever, which is a real problem now he’s in full vis. So that’s a great start to the second ever Megatisation era episode. 

Today’s a day for big questions, including and not limited to… Are their filthcentric studio sharers the antichrist? Has John nearly completed YouTube? Can he also win an Oscar with his sizzling bath content? Would you queue for a curry house before it opens in the mid afternoon? Do you like prawns? And where’s your mate?

All questions answered within. 

And if this is the carbs to fill you up at the start of a great big Elis and John buffet well the high [production] cost protein afterwards can be found over on our new Patreon. Bonus content in the bath and the first ever Adventure of Elis and John are on patreon.com/elisandjohn. And do go through the website rather than the app so that you avoid extra app charges!

And the sweet dessert of the buffet, this week’s Bureau will arrive only / exclusively on BBC Sounds on Saturday morning.

#530 - Mid-Table Rhino, 4:55pm Double Curry and The History of The Buffet

It’s a big/normal day! Everything in Elis and John world just got bigger/stayed exactly the same as before! All praise the Brave New World/status quo!

John’s dressed up in a suit and tie to mark the (non-) occasion, and there’s a 100 points on offer to the listener who can decipher John’s scripted intro.

Beyond everything changing/staying exactly the same, Elis and John try to find the best non-threatening noise to make whilst running to alert non-runners, with some very surprising suggestions. Elis tries to pick himself up after last week’s missed shot at glory in the Cymru Connection, plus there’s a return to a glorious sub-category of Mad Dads: milk.

One thing that definitely has changed is the Elis and John spiritual home: the email hub. You can now contact the show by sending your correspondence to hello@elisandjohn.com.

EMERGENCY: Elis and John Megatisation Alert!

Strap yourself in because boy do we have a highbrow show for you today. Quoting Heidegger? Check. Ruminations on the nature of the present? Check. Elis S’ing himself in a park in Cardiff after a night on the Red Bull mixers? Check. 

John Wins Again throws up some interesting morsels: John reveals his latest bedtime snack, and one of John’s wins leaves Elis literally speechless.

#528 - A Remembersplore, Miserable Coat Man and The Early Human Scene

It’s a rollercoaster of a show for Elis James. He has the opportunity to rectify recent Welsh footballing disappointment by becoming the only player in Cymru Connection history to connect with 5 people twice.

National pride can be restored, as long as Elis opens his eyes and doesn’t go down a Cymru cul-de-sac. Come on El, a (potentially imaginary) listener’s haircut depends on it!

Plus John plays hardball with the One Show, there’s a trip down the Shame Well that knocks Elis bandy, and Dave finally reveals what he’s known for turning up to parties with…

#527 - Ab Merchants, Bleeding VAT and Ladybirdaggedon

Despite the universe seemingly doing everything it could to keep Elis and John off-air today the guys powered through the pain and strife to bring #content to the masses (which is ironic given the power cut John experienced halfway through the show). Whilst broadcasting from their respective houses they waved goodbye to John’s beloved Skoda Fabia, spoke to a VERY important Olympic Unsung Hero and helped a listener with a passport problem.
