How does John cope with an argument? Which prophet does Elis think of first? What is the most futuristic name? Is Chris Moyles good at impressions? All these questions are answered in this week's podcast, plus Humble Brag Of The Week, a spectacularly uninformed round of Winner Plays On, John's struggles in Email Of The Species and a sublime Keep It Session Session.
Podcast intro
The duo discuss the upcoming Channel 5 biographical drama series on Freddie Mercury.
John's introduction of Elis
"To my left is a man described by Sky TV listings as 'tardy'"
Conversations and riffs
During Humblebrag they riff on people who use social media to find out info when a Google search would suffice, in order to show off how great their life is.'Does anyone know a pocket repair man? Because my wallet has caused a hole because it's so full of money.'
John loses the ability to read prose live on air, despite having a degree from Oxford University (humblebrag!).
Discuss Chris Moyles' bad impression of John and how Robins is un-doable by even the best impressionists.
Elis & John relive John's failed attempt to mount a speaker stack during his grand entrance Freddy-like at the live EJJR Experience at Kentish Town Forum (14 Nov)
