Elis James and John Robins

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.

It has been decreed that this is a football free zone. Well not until John nips out for a vape. Then when he returns, Elis, Dave and the production staff are all attentive and silent.

But in this chill zone we imagine a chill world. One in which John has 5.2m followers overnight and has a wellness brand whilst dating a Hollywood heavyweight. You might think it’s a leap but rather a reality that was only one swipe away.

Also, Elis also asks a very rare thing - a non-archaic question. Could Dave do an indie disco at The Azteca? And how will John be by the time he hits his third party on Saturday? In a word, flagging.

Got stuff to send then put it into the pigeon of 2026 - the email. hello@elisandjohn.com is the address.

Who’s that co-hosting this week’s podcast; is it Jean-Paul Sartre? Is it Hannah Arendt? Is it Ronan Keating? Sure, they’ve all opined on the nature of existence, but has our very own philosopher Johnny JR finally hit the nail on the head?

John presents a new thesis for existence, but Elis and Dave aren’t buying it…

After watching a room full of people cheer Paul McCartney’s every word, Elis is inspired to tap into his own musical talents. Plus a cracking zen-based Made Up Game and a return to the Cymru Connecting arena.

Elis is fresh from the jolly japes of being surprised with being made to do a headline set in front of 5,000 people at an iconic venue. He’s just soooo totally cool about it.

“Feel free to leave if it’s bad, but give the guy a chance.” So if you want to miss the rush during the gig then stay til the end.

John revives an old, and at times deeply criticised, feature. We also hear some more good old fashioned Common Zense, which helps us ask the question, if the Dalai Lama spilt coffee on an important letter would he be calm?

Got any parabulation to send in? Well send it on the calm winds to hello@elisandjohn.com

And please stick around til the end of the show.

Today’s show is all about one man: one of Wales’s greatest sons, one of the football terrace’s greatest sons, one of podcasting’s greatest sons. We’re talking about none other than the the cycling extraordinaire, the cagoule aficionado, the Cymru Connector-in-Chief, Mr Elis James.

And what one thing does Elis hate above all else? Surprises. And what do we have in store for him? A surprise so big that John’s smirk can almost be heard from the opening drum beat. Josh Widdicombe is also on hand to crank up the tension.

Strap yourselves in for the mega-surprise of all mega-surprises. And remember, pressure is a privilege.

Away from all the James-centric japes there’s a World Cup-based Made Up Game that puts Elis and John’s big brains to the test, and a listener reads Ghandi’s biography out loud to a youth on a train.

Are you feeling surprised? Let us know how much by emailing hello@elisandjohn.com.
