• Bespoke Yoghurt , Khashoggi's Ship & Elis Got It Wrong

Sure, John makes mistakes - we all do! Although, you'd better believe they were catastrophic life mistakes and almost never administrative ones. Elis meets his heroes and then he gets sad and angry. In this weeks podcast there's a King Lear misquote, sandwich shame, the plant of the week and a review of deep-cut Queen lyrics. All this plus the Humblebrags, emails and Prod V's travel anecdotes.

• Dweeby Brown Elis, Cool Space John & Internal Cream

Ever wondered how to sleep in a room infested with midges? Of course you have! Well look no further as the lads are full of top-notch knowledge! There's another glimpse into a 23 year old Robins psyche with John's Gig Diary and Twitter passes judgement on 'who's the coolest?'

• 8 Beautiful Sons, #Content & The Winter Of My Future

GUYS... Massive show today. There's a big announcement AND a brand new feature that Elis maintains is his favourite yet. It's quite a find. Plus there's a special Keep It Session Session with John managing to choose 6 (count them - 6) of Queen's best moments. All this plus the Humblebrags, some stinking shame and some lovely emails.

• Necking, Apology Yogurt & A Five Rifle Salute

Elis James has started learning French. Not content with Welsh & English, we hope to bring you the podcast in French from next week. Whatever language it's in though, you can always count on the lads to deliver the badinage in buckets. Learn of John's adventures at an actual (LIVE) gig, find out why Elis doesn't fancy booze anymore and hear the Queen biopic trailer commentated on as Elis sees it for the first time! All this plus the Humblebrags, Shamewell and a stonking Made Up Game!

• Toenails, Naked Abyss & John's Pips

Why start a broadcast in a good mood? John Robins doesn't always, but it usually only takes a sandwich, some crisps, a coffee and some A-Grade badinage to get him out of his funk. Some lovely shame, legendary emails, a word from Jon Richardson and a shared beverage from Dan Gasser.

• William G, Judgey Elis & Gasser Likes A Phall

If you want to know how many Petite Filous John can fill of a night (and I know you do) then you're in the right place. Panic normality is back, which makes for some squeamish listening. Tick Off A Taste corrupts the lad's taste buds for another day and Elis shoe shames the money saving expert. All this plus the usual gems!

• Bloopers, Blunders & BACS

It was everyone's favourite type of show this week: The fabled 'giddy' show. Classic. In a week where Elis James became the focus of many a PCD meme-maker, the lads took to the airwaves with panache and a firm eye on the blooper reel. John gives an impassioned monologue on education and Elis defends his favourite films. All this plus the Humblebrags, Paper Review and shame-a-plenty.

• Perfume (General), Great Riffing & Chilli On Your Charger

When the Welsh support lets you down, Elis James will just have to do: But he does a job. John smashed the Hammersmith Apollo to pieces on Thursday night, so there was plenty of reflecting to do. The lads also examine why John is so hard on himself & hold themselves to account in the face of a wackaging accusation. All this plus Humblebrags, The Light-Hearted Paper Review & plenty of E-mails!

• Finnish Marmite, Witty David Mitchell & How To Record Store Day

Find out how far the boys have cycled in this week's show - but there's other stuff, good stuff, too. Elis has tales from a cab, John has news of crime-fighting, and another Taste Is Ticked Off. All that plus Humblebrags, John's Shame Well & another Made Up Game

• 215

• Welsh, Punjabi & Bumzone

Elis James sends texts to John Robins in complete confidence: John Robins broadcasts them to the nation. It's why this show just WORKS. A brilliant show which will tell you why John is meek and why Elis is the best guy to go to if you're unsure of which historic football memorabilia to buy for a loved one's birthday. All that plus the Humblebrags, John's Shame Well & some brilliant Emails from the gorgeous PCDs.

• The Temperature of Punjab, Top Gear Magazine & MasterShouldn't

The dream team are back together! John made it through his 'week of death' on tour, with a few grey hairs to prove it. He got straight into the massive backlog of your emails, with more wackaging and even a wackager! We joined Danny Wallace for the start of his Snowbombing road trip (even if it was only in spirit) where he went head to head with Elis in Potato Potato, and a brand, spanking new Made Up Game was played - Masterchef or Master... Shouldn't?

• Ed Gamble Sad Spider & Potty Mouth John Motson

Of course normal service will resume soon, but we do love a guest host. Friend of the show and all round legend Ed Gamble took up the mantle this week and hammer-smashed it out of the vibe park. The best bit is, even in John's absence, there was no shortage of shame. Plus, it's always a laugh to hear Elis having a nightmare with muscle-memory.

• Sunday Brunch, Too Many Murders & Are You A Company Or Are You An Idiot?

Before you listen to this week's podcast.... Do you think Elis wins Made Up Games or not? He really does try his best. There were absolutely tons of E-mails to get through this week, so prepare yourself for a bumper pack of wackaging. There's plenty of shame, bags of badinage and all the analysis of John's appearance on Sunday Brunch last week.

• Skin, Bladder, Cheek & The Return of Cheesy Tommy

Have you ever had to take your shoe for a shower?! Definitely avoid feeding ham to foxes. There's no two ways about it - the lads were almost literally on fire in this week's show. You had the cutting and clear tones of Johnny Robins and the soft and regional lilt of Elis 'the pro' James. There were Humblebrags, an extremely engaging Made Up Game and enough top chat to cure John of all his ailments (skin, bladder & cheek).

• Spine Icons, Thought Crime & The Spice Girls Were Lying To Us

To quote Elis James: "John's back, he's back, oh God how I've missed him." John returned in triumphant form to clear the gutters of shame as they sat overflowing with neglect. This week, explore the legend of Dublins 'Pint men', find out why Elis is so aggravated and discover a BIG piece of news!!!! All this plus the Humblebrags, a Light-Hearted Paper Review, Emails and tons of badinage.

• Naked Broadcasting, Bad Hat and Mars Bar Fondue

Getting underway this week with a gig/snow-based PSA on behalf of absent capable comedian, John Robins. In his seat, 'your favourite comedian' James Acaster - but which famous ex-footballer did he meet in a service station earlier this week? PLUS, Elis sports a questionable hat, listener James is looking for 'stock lines' that he can use in the gym, a 'mystery texter' contacts the show and we throw in all the usual good stuff (Paper Review, Humblebrag, Made up Game) for absolutely nothing!

• 208
• 24 Feb 2018
• James Acaster, Irish Elis and Garlic, Chilli or Ginger

So John's off touring the world (UK) this week, but never fear as we were treated to James Acaster, who joined Elis to tackle a classic Humblebrag or two and play another one of your quallo Made Up Games. As well as talk of an obscene amount of Nakd bars (70?? Really?!) and a blast from the past with James' Classic Scrape.

• Scatty John the Reprise, Have You Ever Wondered & This Is Why It Doesn't Work

Well what a palaver. We all remember Tick Tock Robins don't we? It was so fraught that we didn't even have time for Humblebrags! Imagine that!? John arrived eventually and it all came together nicely in the end. A brilliant show that gave Elis a chance to beat his commercial-indie-digital-radio wings on his own for a bit. There was a lovely paper review, a quallo set of E-mails and an update of Robins' continuing tour!

• Braingasm, Dog Lick & Tired of Twits

Guys... Before you dive into this week's podcast, please do be aware that it features a vape-less John Robins. Don't worry - he's got patches. There's a bumper edition of Elis' light-hearted paper review, E-mails, scarves, some chocolate brownie shame and a legally required disclaimer about vaping not being cool. All this plus the Humblebrags, a Made Up Game and do be aware, "it's just a body. It's just a dog's body."

• Nascent Riffing, British Animals and Duct Tape

Elis finally got his own back on his old teachers this week, and John revisited his education too - but, arguably, in a more sad way. The boys discovered a historical Humble Brag, John's driving knowledge was put to the test, and we took another journey into the Shame Well. All this plus the usual - a Made Up Game, your emails, and Elis' Light-Hearted Paper Review.
