Episode 184
Chapter & Verse, Topless John and Bono on the Beach
Show broadcast on 9 September 2017
Another top podcast from your sexy mates Elis & John - and it was a rather sexy show. Don't worry though - it never got top shelf. Enjoy John at a merch stand, Elis away with Wales in Moldova, and a dive into the word of literature. All this plus Email Of The Species, Humble Brag Of The Week, The Light-Hearted Paper Review and another Made Up Game.
John's introduction of Elis
"To my left a man so ahead of the curve with technology that when you click on a link to a gig on his website it opens FaceTime on your computer because he has set the hyperlinks as phone numbers. "
Conversations and riffs
Elis has been on another Wales footy trip for the World Cup Qualifiers.
Riff: The boys strain their Irish (Jamaican?) accents to the max imagining Bono and the Edge on the beach.
John explains why he went 'tops-off' at a gig recently.
Robins: "Eye contact is probably the most intimate thing you can do, apart from full sex."
Elis James' Light-Hearted Paper Review
Elis' selection of humorous stories from this week's newspapers.
Sometimes being the best is just a fluke and those people are actually less skilled than the second-best.
John's Shame Well
John frees another listener of their shame.
That moment when your romantic 'mood-enhancing' implements you've ordered are delivered to your elderly neighbour.
Made-Up Games
Listeners suggest made-up games that Elis and John can play.
The Last Word: One of you picks a sentence and you take it in turns to repeat the sentence, removing the last word each time until the are no words left. Whoever that moment lands on leaves the game. Depending how many are playing, repeat with new sentences until only one person remains, who is the winner.
The 'Keep It Session' Sessions
A special section at the end of the podcast for music recommendations.
