Saying "Hello Daddio", Welsh freight, and being fascinated by pain - all topics discussed by J-Dog and Eel-Man this week. The boys returned from their successful stint on Prime Time Drive Time as Keepers Of The Vaughan Flame and brought Elis' Laid-Back Paper Review with them, plus the usual stuff - Humble Brag Of The Week (which this week is absolutely exceptional), Winner Plays On, and a double dose of Email Of The Species. Enjoy the podcast, and remember - all's quallo.
