Show broadcast on 29 October 2016
This week, Elis & John compare stories from a certain "app-based cab company" and reveal their personal ratings live to the nation. Find out about the latest date in the tour and which one of YOU is the grizzly bear in the gym!
Also, what supernatural goings on might you find in Phil "The Power" Taylor's autobiography? Finally, producer Vin tells us all about Diwali and brings in his annual haul of space marzipan to share out in the studio.
All this plus the usual Winner Plays On, Humble Brag Of The Week and Email Of The Species!
