im Westwoo

Show broadcast on 2 June 2017

Plenty of hot topics covered today: the War on Drugs, The War On Drugs, miniature cigars, tequila, the M5, Tim Westwood and much more. There's loads of other stuff too - Tick Off A Taste, John's Shame Well, the Paper Review and What We've Learnt.

John's introduction of Elis

"To my left is the man responsible for the resurgence of hostlers in West Wales. For an £8 hourly fee he will provide horse-sitting services outside 17 branches of Wetherspoon's between Llanelli and Milford Haven. "

Conversations and riffs

John gets bogged down equating band names to similarly titled political and social issues (The War on Drugs, Barenaked Ladies, etc).

Elis James' Light-Hearted Paper Review

Elis' selection of humorous stories from this week's newspapers.

Use figurative language to impress ladies.

John's Shame Well

John frees another listener of their shame.

Texting your crush the lyrics to 'Bad Day' by Daniel Powter while enjoying your first beers as a teenager. That time John tried to impress a girl at school by smoking a miniature cigar in Pizza Hut.

Humblebrag

More examples of that scourge of social media, the humblebrag.

How embarrassing that the neighbours applauded your singing in the back garden (and you posted the video on social media). When you pop out for a bit and buy a new car by accident (What Is Life?). Blessed and haunted by the inability not to invent.

Tick Off a Taste

The gang try a new taste sensation sent in by a listener.

Hairy willies (Indonesian ting-ting sweets with a rude-looking logo).
