#590 - Stockport Ken Bruce, Decade Dice and Bancyfelin is a Major Metropolis
2026/11/06
Elis couldn’t use his favourite spoon this morning and he’s all over the shop. He also had to walk around a lot of leaves. How can he broadcast in such a state? But it’s fine because he’s very much in his mid-forties. On the John front, the recriminations from last week’s revelations continue to spill over and we also ask whether Dave is the Ken Bruce of podcasting. Is he Tony Blackburn? Or is he Chandler from Friends applying for a job in marketing? Plus there’s an all time Mad Dad featuring second hand gravity boots, a wetsuit and a semi-naked Dad. Got something to sling us? Well [email protected] is where to send it. And do check out the new EXCLUSIVE TO PATREON Adventure: Dancing with Dave special!

#589 - Hazards (General) , Glis Glis Glee and Old Tricky Digits
2026/11/03
If you listen to this show wanting #HotCelebrityGoss then you’re in luck. Elis and John lift the lid on a star-studded Halloween party attended by some of the nation’s great celebs. But just a warning that the goss only goes as far as hazmat-suited Elis being told off by a cardigan-wearing political podcaster, and John being chastised by one of the nation’s great cricket players… Elsewhere, John racks up his wins and losses, Dave reveals a worrying knowledge of the price of things he shouldn’t know about, and Lou Sanders drops by to explain why she did a stand up show with a cornish pasty sewn into the inside of her skirt. Send in your thoughts, feelings and vibes to [email protected]. Watch some behind the scenes footage of Elis and John's spooooky Halloween party here!

#588 - One Hundred and Pourteen Charges
2026/10/30
There’s a dark cloud hanging over today’s show. And that’s not an oncoming radiation cloud a la Nevile Shute. John is in desperate need of David Pannick KC. Simply put, the integrity of a decade of Made Up Games now has questions over it. And Robins is defiant. Is there now an asterisk over ever ‘win’ John has accumulated when he has ground Elis’s dignity into the dirt? What was he getting away with before the days of fully visualised podcasts? Is John simply a sham player? The boys also taste meringues. For the meringue visuals get yourself over to the Instagram!

#587 - 101 Damatians, Mr Swede and Can I Check a Text Message!?
2026/10/27
Today’s show is one of scenes and systems. We start with a quick dip in the children’s swimming pool scene, and quickly discover that Elis isn’t a fan. After towelling off it’s a trip to the pantomime scene, and the burning question of whether digital pantomimes are the future. There’s also a quick sub-stop off at the dame scene; are there multiple dame opportunities? When do you sign on the dotted line for dame work? Then we encounter the Samantha System. Could this small suggestion revolutionise the Cymru Connection? After today’s outing, you’ll definitely think that something needs to be done… Lastly we test Elis and John’s abilities in the pouring scene, in a Made Up Game that gets tensions rising and hearts racing. Do you have thoughts on any of the above scenes/systems? Let us know on [email protected]. For lots of exclusive EJJR #content, join our Patreon at patreon.com/elisandjohn.

#586 - My Comfort Cutlery Drawer, 37 Minutes of Zappa and 1000g of Beef Mince
2026/10/23
Gather round dear listeners, for today we record directly from the bus that Isy has thrown Elis under, on multiple occasions in recent weeks. Well, Elis is under the bus and John and Dave are very much on it, enjoying the ride. Kicking the journey off with some crucial survival tips, there’s discussions about how long you could survive without food or water, and whether you can drink your own urine. Luckily Dave shares that he has ‘never weed on anyone or anything’ and John has ideas for how he would redesign humans - safe to say we’re in good hands. Who’s on the aux you might ask? Well, as we reminisce about a weekend dancing in Brighton, we can safely assume John has a certain playlist for the ride. Our first stop is Elis’s infamous cutlery drawer, which left John horrified, sad, and with a sense of lost time. Could a gift from John and Dave be Elis's ticket for freedom? Or is there a long road ahead... All aboard! Get in touch [email protected] For lots of exclusive EJJR #content, join our Patreon at patreon.com/elisandjohn.

#585 - Eternal Torment, The Parable of the Cymru Connection, and Late, Lost and Sorry
2026/10/20
Elis has written the most criminally boring novel of all time, totally by accident. Now that’s a skill, and resident money man Johnny JR has spotted a gap in the market and a chance at the big bucks. Never one to stray far from the finances, John has a one-track mind in today’s episode, with two tantalising tax emails, plus a brief foray into the world of Mr Beast. Elsewhere, The Cymru Connection reaches new biblical heights, Elis considers signing up for an internship (a new low), and we play a tense game that requires Britain’s Bravest Broadcasters to find the sweet spot slap bang in the middle.

#584 - The PRS Club, Sex Walks and The Tiny Cold Woman Who Wants To Live In John’s Fridge
2026/10/16
Elis and John lead with the question “what are the biggest non-nuclear manmade explosions in history?” On later reflection this wasn’t something which would have worked in the compressed audio world of commercial radio. But it’s not all about big bangs. Certainly not in John’s current state. There’s many a shared story from listeners on the small kagoule front, and only some of them are squeamish. John has bought some fruit for the first time in 20 years and has gone down a meringue rabbit hole, whilst we also take in the horrifying sound of the boys at half speed. Plus, for you lucky RSS listeners, for the first time in history, John and Elis name their favourite brands. Do you have a story of medical circumcision which is vaguely appropriate for a show where kids may overhear it in the car? If you do then wang it over to [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

#583 - Podglomerates, Karaoke (A) and Always Go Nations League
2026/10/13
It’s been a week of celebration at E&J towers; Elis has been 12th birthday partying with his daughter (and turned into a master chocolate pourer in the process) and Dave is about to/has just had his big day whilst walking around Harrogate with a bunch of lads. Different ages, different needs. There’s no celebration for John, however, who puts himself on the back foot trying to defend another on-the-hoof analogy. Plus, because we’re still remote, there’s the welcome return of the classic game Room Raiders, where the boys rummage through their possessions to find the best items.

#582 - Text Steff, Chasing the Nightcap and Nuance from the Gaps
2026/10/09
It’s a remote affair today and there are camera issues from the off. Elis looks like a billionaire, whilst John (your pixelated man on the street) and Dave look like they’re on a Zoom quiz in lockdown. The reason why we’re remote? Well, Britain’s spokesperson for intimate procedure journeys is back. And don’t worry, he’s got a metaphor based on cagoules that will easily explain everything. We also hear from friend of the show/chaos merchant Ivo Graham about Elis’s big night out last week, Elis admits that he’s let the people of Cardiff down, and John has a niche request around homophones.

#581 - Unofficial Bumbags, Anti-Cunning Disease and Susie Dent
2026/10/06
We’re creating water cooler moments here on Elis and John. From 'how many t-shirts do you own', to 'is there a God', via the state of play in the treehouse scene. Not sure how or why we got here, but there’s no doubt about it; we’re shaping the nation’s conversations. Move over Traitors, Elis and John are in town. Lightboards firmly switched up, John describes feeling all the emotions whilst on holiday; overwhelm at the studio Freddie Mercury last recorded in, and fear at the hands (pincers) of a massive scorpion in his bedroom. All this, plus we are graced by the presence of the nation’s favourite wordswoman Susie Dent, who brings a high-stakes game with a surprising outcome.

#580 - Seething Resentment, Lance Legstrong and Director Deputy Director General
2026/10/02
Horrific. Seething. Resentful. No, those aren’t the words which Dave is feeling towards City’s owners today. Rather it’s the state of Elis’s head right now. He’s hungover. Yes he’s been on a bender and is quite delicate. As he handles such a dainty state we’re left to stare down the barrel of a listener idea which gives him such anxiety he’d like to just go work on a farm. However, it could potentially win Best Sponsored Character Assassination at the British Podcast Awards. There’s also niche discussion on David Pannick, we hear why Elis might be bad at anagrams, and did Ryan Giggs have more caps than Ethan Ampadu? Make sure to tune in on Tuesday because Elis’s intro is going to be extra weak. We might even hear 5 Live Away Day Part 9.

#579 - Pad Cymru, Human Alps and A Constant Perma-Rolling Crisis
2026/09/29
Poor old Elis. Just when he thought he’d been surprised enough this year we go and chuck another one his way. Because a famous ghost from his past is about to stroll into the studio and cause all sorts of emotions. But before then, a trip down memory lane with a Cymru Connectee gets his blood pumping with shame. And he explains why he’d spend his final day on earth signing up to LinkedIn. John’s also here, and kicks off the show with his new range of Elis and John bunkers. It’s an odd tone setter, sure, but it is current. Whilst we’re at it, do you want to surprise Elis with anything? Send it to [email protected]. Find out about our latest Adventures episode, which is dropping on Friday 2nd October at 11am, HERE!

#578 - Inbetwosses, 8 Great Whites and The Pressures of Seagull Parents
2026/09/25
John’s having a nightmare because of a rapidly approaching admin hill AKA a holiday. He’s forgotten to count his t-shirts (but does it in his mind at the start of the show, don’t worry), and then his phone goes off mid-record. All this plus Dave’s confiscated his custard cream brownie until he starts behaving. Elis on the other hand is buzzing due to an impending trip to Lisbon for the return of his favourite tournament: The Nations League. And he’s had a jazz epiphany. The Rapid Response Unit is fired up to find out how many t-shirts our listeners own, and we discover why John only listens to Metallica on the toilet. As announced in the show, we’re now welcoming emails on ANY topic. So send in whatever you fancy to [email protected]. Plus, the Patreon video experience has been upgraded!

#577 - Laundry Zero, Final Score Yoga and Mmm Meat Toms
2026/09/22
There’s been a quiet revolution in John’s life. In one sense everything has changed. In another sense it’s been a quiet couple of weeks. He’s within touching distance of something that no one thought possible: laundry zero. And continuing the clothes theme, inexplicably there’s a 15 minute debate about what a t-shirt is. We've said it before and we'll say it again: no one else is doing this. Elis describes his perfect yoga situation, John explains why we need failure and Dave has learned to plait. Get involved in the debate that’s switching up the lightboards and let us know how many t-shirts you own by emailing [email protected] right this instance.

#576 - Be Brilliant, Every Negative Face and 6 Music Pension Damage
2026/09/18
Hosting on 6 Music has long been Elis’s back up for if John ever retires at Project 2032. Sadly Dave reveals some news which could cause deep damage to this long term strategy. Some surprises cause more anguish than others. Plus Dave and Elis are officially tired of the titling of the Sir Right Honourable Sir Dr John Robins MBE Esq, and Adrian has too much chard. What on earth is he to do? Know what to do with too much veg? Well send it to [email protected]. And do get yourself on the Patreon, as, despite the remarkably convoluted plug the boys try to do, Dave is keen to stress that it’s dead good and ad free.
