Episode 155
The Beating Heart, Selfless Yoga & Sat Nav Shame
Show broadcast on 4 February 2017
This week, John emerges from Dry January in good health with zeal, and a slight hangover! Find out exactly who's who when it comes to the Radio X body and take the plunge into John's Shame Well, a place where even Robins can lose his professional ability to broadcast. Also, Elis takes a look at what Jeremy Clarkson considers to be "utter, utter swivel-eyed madness." All this plus the usual Humble Brags, Beta Bet and an email about a tape worm...
John's introduction of Elis
"To my left is a man who participated in Wales' first ever conference phone call. "
Conversations and riffs
John completed dry January successfully and Elis hasn't eaten any coriander since last year. John's sense of productivity instantly vanished on the morning of his first hangover in Wet Feb.
The lads talk about being recognised out in public, even Prod D was recognised on a train.
John's Shame Well
John frees another listener of their shame.
Being caught using your mobile phone during a Scroobius Pip 'happening'. Lying to work colleagues that your dad has a SatNav, being wracked by guilt, suffering a panic attack and having to be taken to hospital by a work colleague (a story so funny it tests John's professionalism as a broadcaster).
Betabet
Elis and John compete to name as many things as possible on a theme in alphabetical order in 30 seconds.
Name teams from the top four tiers of the football league. John wins 8-7.
Email of the Species
Listeners' emails into the show.
A PCD tapeworm. PCDs at Apple HQ in S.F. (Elis: "Where they don't have toilets. They do e-wees. You have to email a wee to a sewage plant.")
The 'Keep It Session' Sessions
A special section at the end of the podcast for music recommendations.
