#556  - Un-Air Conditional, 296 Johns and A Pitta Pocket or Two

If you like your podcasts jam-packed with top quality content, then boy do we have a show for you.First up: what’s it like to be in a creative powerhouse couple? A quite stressed Elis lifts the lid. And he explains why he needs Daniel Kitson to pull his finger out.Next John talks about being a lion of the plains, and walking into a saloon wearing all black. Admittedly it is quite confusing, but stick with it, as it leads to a big revelation and allows Elis to gleefully don his Welsh tourist board cap.Then we receive 'one of the most wrongheaded emails' John has ever read in his entire life, and we learn how Elis would react if a low bandit were to sever him limb from limb.Send us your feedback on this multi-layered content buffet by emailing [email protected] 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.

Sad news everyone, Elis is retiring. We thought Johnny JR would go first, but Elis has beaten him to it. He’s peaked. He’s reached his zenith and there ain’t nowhere to go from there. But worry not, because he’s referring to his DJing career and not his podcasting one…Then it’s onto kids' parties and the big question: is John’s conduct in the Bureau de Change of the Mind the best training ground for dealing with 20 hungry kids? All this plus some top tier shame, a cracking Cymru Connection, and a Made Up Game that unearths the bombshell revelation that John’s book 'Thirst' was a ripoff of the OG blubography, Charles Darwin’s 'On the Origin of Species'. Please continue to furnish us with your brilliantly penned correspondence by sending it to [email protected] 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.

John, Dave and Calvin Harris are with you today to discuss all things DJ’ing. Incidentally, Calvin Harris can only DJ when there’s another wifi connection. If there isn’t then he rings his indie disco mate and the air turns blue. As well as hearing about all the hottest dance gigs, Dave drops an absolute bombshell within seconds of starting the record. Something he’s held back for years amidst the oceans of dross that this show has covered. Also, John deigns to tell Elis’s hero about his lovemaking backdrop, and ring the poem bell! Because Dave must reflect on a dual possibility moment that the vast majority wish wasn’t being referenced. There’s also some bold male behaviour floating around from a man whose clothes are all disposable and another who reuses calendars.Got something for us? Have you ever asked a question on Reddit?

It’s been a big old week for Johnny JR, but has he won again? Well it’s one in the win column for his much anticipated return to the small screen. But it would be helpful if he could remember the name of his own TV show…And then there’s the small matter of updating the firmware on the CarPlay in the Sportage. Will John win against 2017 technology? Or will Theresa May-era software prove his downfall?Elsewhere Elis attempts to remount the Cymru Connection horse, and there’s the return of Made Up Game hall-of-famer Brain Darts which doesn’t disappoint.We need your thoughts, your vibes; your thought-vibes.

It’s an evening pre-record this week, and it would be a little bit more jazz, a little bit more Soho and a little bit more laid back…if Dave’s train hadn’t been held up by cows, and John’s stomach wasn’t in confusion mode.And yet there’s no denying that we are totally committed to ‘keeping Britain moo-ving’ as we share treatments for tricky skin, reflect on Elis’s bed time pork pies and give yeast the big rebrand it has long-since deserved.Finally, we feel that sense of calm as John reads Elis another parable in Common Zense, concluding that our brain is ‘just an organ with no idea what it’s doing’. Yes, totally calm. Plus, there’s a cracking Mad Dad that exposes one of our Brave Broadcasters as a Nude Dad…Send us your vibes to [email protected] check out the latest Adventure of Elis and John: Station to Station.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.

After doing what Status Quo failed to do, breaking America, Elis thinks it fitting to introduce the world of EJJR to those living stateside. So behold some dodgy accents, references to ‘mom’s apple tart’ and Elis, John and Dave’s personal Mount Rushmores.But having made his name doing what he does best, Cymru Connecting, how will Elis fare with all this added pressure? Will the weight of American expectation weigh him down too much? Will the man be able to live up to the hype?Then it’s onto a pair of all-time classics; a new big band Made Up Game jingle which gives Elis’s cognitive decline its own trumpet motif, and a tennis-based game that enters the MUG Hall of Fame before it’s even played.Plus the latest Adventure of Elis and John is revealed! Here for more info. Do you have a great game we can play? Have you made a musical motif for John’s post-lunch sadness? Do you have a question that just begs to be answered?

The heat’s great isn’t it. As John points out, it’s no longer twee and fun headlines, instead it’s “Phew You’re All Going To Die Quite Soon”. What japes! Luckily we’ve got the cool cucumber balm of content for those toasty ears. And may we say, there’s some top notch correspondence today pertaining to love struck albums, lathes and crucial public health information on getting your bits checked every so often. After all it’s important to be health conscious. Plus there’s a fabulously topical Shame Well and a hot gloopy Mad Dad to attend to. If you’ve got anything to send on the topic of sexual health then [email protected] is the destination. And remember, if you’re in young love and want to express yourself, do keep those emotions in lockdown.

After a bout of promiscuous and unprotected thinking, John’s been in a panic sphere. He’s only gone and given himself a mind STD, but could some watermelon body wash be to blame?All this leads to a full circle moment for Elis. He might be headlining the Royal Albert Hall next year, but is the realisation of his long-touted ‘health podcast’ actually his career zenith?Listener JB sends in a cracking impressions-based Made Up Game, and we take a harrowing trip down John’s Shame Well.Do you want to feed the Elis and John content machine with your very own correspondence?
