The Agenda, The Male Reproductive Organ & Do You Respect Yourself?
Show broadcast on 29 July 2017
Will this be the last stop on the way to 5,000,000 D's? That's what's on the agenda! In the final show before Robins takes to the Edinburgh Fringe, the badinage was right on point. Don't you just hate people who misjudge the vibe? What are the three main constants of human nature? What did John ask his teacher? All are questions that may or may not have been answered in this weeks edition.
John's introduction of Elis
"To my left, a man who has blamed underdeveloped wrists for his failure to progress to the final of Wales' strongest middle-aged man. Though hotly tipped after throwing a 50kg lump of slate in the shape of Barry Island over a bed of daffodils. He failed to carry a cattle grid over the letter 'N' in a giant model of the word 'Llantrisant' made of hay. "
