Hungover Corpse, Sweet Regret & Beatle-Bet
Show broadcast on 11 March 2017
Halfway into the stint of weekday drive time vibing, there's still plenty in the tank for the traditional Saturday afternoon badinage. Elis, John and Producer V all hauled themselves in after a night of larging it, however, Producer D was nowhere to be seen after dancing with himself into the wee small hours. A quick look at why eBay is better than selling things for a £1 outside your house, influential teenagers and a Strong, Confident Robins are just some of the treats this week.

John's introduction of Elis
"To my left is a man so obsessed with Soviet era athletics that he has banned all post-Perestroika products from his house and can now be seen through his living room window using the catipillar tracks of a T-34 military tanks as a treadmill."

Betabet
Elis and John compete to name as many things as possible on a theme in alphabetical order in 30 seconds.
Song titles by the Beatles. A 2-2 draw. Elis wins the tiebreaker but it is bittersweet after an appalling performance with what should have been a strong subject for him. "I'm going to be sick at the altar of Paul McCartney, then clean it up and leave a note in his sink."
