• Birdseye

There you have it. 5 years, 264 shows (proper), many laughs, some tears and an almost unacceptable quantity of shame. The lads bid farewell to Radio X in fine fashion. Expect montages, familiar voices and the cynical inclusion of emotional heft. Thank you to all PCD's, casual listeners and contributors great and small. Live your best life, keep it Radio X and most importantly of all: Keep it session. Lovely stuff.

"Pullman's won it... go away."

Elis needs a new car and John may or may not have a secret child, more on that as we get it.

Tastes to be ticked, hypothetical stag dos to plan and papers to be read light-heartedly. This Podcast has it all.

BIG FUN.

• Medium Testosterone, Feeds & The A-Z of Music

You have no idea how high John can fly. Today, we answer the questions, what do you get for the man that has everything, how many Blue Tits do Elis & John weigh and what exactly is John Kennedy doing in that tree.

• Alternative Animals, Cool Cymru And The Dog & Handgun

Elis was definitely feeling as young and hip as ever this week, and John simply couldn't get more charitable. Plus the boys made a discovery about everyone's favourite forgotten Californian hard-rock-nu-metal group.

• Breastfeeding Cafe, Is This Cool? & Four Coffee Viagra

How do you get through a three hour show on barely any sleep? Well if you're Elis you have four coffees before 1pm. Spoiler alert, it all gets a bit silly. An informative show this week, with the guys getting to the bottom of what really is 'cool' and clearing up any misconceptions of what to expect from a breastfeeding café (no paninis?!)

• Romantic Robins, Hot-Take Elis & Terrible Luton Airport

If you stand still with a shark, you'll die. That's just one of Elis' hot-takes from today. Meanwhile - Johnny JR Robins brings you some rather BIG NEWS! Plus more Hypothetical challenges, a naked Shame Well, some over-personal questions and a Middle of The Road Made Up Game!

• Sonic Explorer, RS-John & LashLads dot com

Elis loves his children. John shouts "revealeth" at pubs. What a pair of legends. For those of you concerned that The Light-Hearted Paper Review has never featured a "central heating special" - consider your prayers answered. There's also some classic Humblebrags, a sexy Shame Well, a return of John's Gig Diaries and some FREE #CONTENT!

• God Is A Gas, Celebrity Busting And Elis' Third Anecdote

The Band is back together. Elis has returned with news of what he's been up to, mainly being a father (again). John's had an issue with his iPhone. We all must bear our own cross. 2 exciting competitions, one to win tech prizes and one to name Elis' son. We also ask the question, what do you do with a surfeit of breastmilk? All this PLUS a Shamewell that will make you walk to Lancaster.

• Side However, The Scribe & On The Westway

In 255 episodes, have you heard John Robins do an impression of a Dalek? The wait is over. Tim Key played another blinder as he deputised for Elis. There were accusations, challenges, interruptions and pauses. Lovely stuff. All this plus a Somerville Shame Well, a LONG and ghastly Humblebrag and a tasty Made Up Game!

• Bran Mulch, Freebie Skiibie & I Suppose I Went To Rymans

Following some big news from Elis, a super-sub wonder kid was required to step in. Enter: Tim Key. Who knows, some of you might even recognise his voice from LONG ago?? It was a brilliant show as Robins threw open the Weirdness Amnesty once again and Tim went to Rymans. As well as all this, there was a welcome return for a Classic Made Up Game, a sporadic Potato Potato, an unconscious Shame Well and an impromptu Birthday Game!

• 253
• 12 Jan 2019
• #BumLike, Wee Free Memories & What Would The Potato People Think?

It was a rather bumsentric show today but don't let that deter you! It's full to the brim with John and Elis classics. Clarkson declares war on modern day music and Catfish & the Bottom-men in the paper review, friendships are ruined in the Shamewell and the guys take on another of your made up games.

• Riffing With Impunity, iPhones In India & 5 Litres Of Soup

It was a very ratty Robins today, but at least he's not had any nicotine this year. Why on earth did Elis choose this week to argue with him about Queen??? Still, a smashing show full of gut-wrenching Humblebrags, a stomach-churning Shame Well and an absolute hammer of a Made Up Game!

• Robins Unleashed: The Return of #LOLsInTheLull

No Elis today, but John discussed the typical Christmas topics: mirrors, toilet breaks, political trees, and photos of gentlemen's agreements.

• Live At The Comedy Store!

Well there you have it hammer legends. 250 solid gold episodes from Elis & John. The occasion was marked with a stonking live show in London's Comedy Store! 400 legends took their seats and the live vibe took flight. Majestic. Expect guests, games, shame (obviously), celebration and a generous slice of The Lovely Robin. Lovely stuff.

• 15 Dec 2018
• Christmas Knives, Legally Black and White & Thin Women In London

If Elis says he was working, then he was working ok? Also, if John wants to challenge a listener on whether or not they're breaking the law, that's fine too. It was a banger of a show this week, full of festive silliness and anticipation for the big 250! There was a dash of shame, a measure of Humblebrags and a tidy portion of the Paper Review too!

• Sportz Chat, Puberty Cake & A Book About Ships

John's going to be shameful, Elis is going to be sexy. These are facts and they are constant. This week, the lads explored 'Sportz Chat' and compared puberty cakes. There was a toilet-related Shame Well, a well-funded Welsh Word of The Week and a return to the wonder that is the 'Rush Hour Crush'.

• 247
• 1 Dec 2018
• Maris Piper bombs, Everything Everything bassist's mum, and Don't Get Me Started

A slightly different vibe to the podcast this week as heroic, brave, valiant John 'Courage' Robins battled through a mild cold to broadcast to the nation - aided and abetted by his friend/surrogate son Eis. The boys asked for your tales of overcoming relationship obstacles, Ticked Off a variety of Tastes, learnt about chips, and outlined the pros and cons of a 17 degree temperature.

• 24 Nov 2018
• The House That Blunders Built, Dan Kitson & lovelyjohntheman

Welcome legends, packed show today, Prod Vin is back from his trip to Sri Lanka, but who did he go with?! We learn what 2 reasons Clarkson would bring back the death penalty for and what gift John got a past love interest.

All this plus the Humblebrags, a made up game and a Shamewell to rival the SatNav shame!

• Victorian Twaddle, Spooky Juice & You're Sacked

It only every takes a couple of 'madness tweaks' to get an Elis & John podcast up and running. This week the lads discuss what to do when your Mother / Mother-in-law sees you naked, John's on and off relationship with the law, Elis' hair and a certain internet-based game show on a digital TV channel. All this plus the Humblebrags, a tangy taste and a game about temperature!
