Episode 157
Sexy Valentines, Shame Pause & Friday the Donkey
Show broadcast on 18 February 2017
Are you pounding the P, or sitting on your B? Either way.... You'll be unsurprised to learn that Elis & John spent valentine's evening together eating too much cheese on toast. This week, Elis talks about the calories you can expect to incur whilst larging it and John offers sanctuary to those who have shamed and need a visit down the well. Can Elis start to make some ground on John's 4-0 lead in Beta Bet? Will the show win at the Chortle Awards this time? What would you do with a dodeca-month subscription to Apple music? It's frankly academic as long as you moisturise.
