Episode 195
We Live in a God-less Chaos, Quint-essentially British and Who Taught You How to Walk?
Show broadcast on 25 November 2017
Welcome to this Quint-essentially British podcast where nobody, and we mean nobody out-pounds Robins. A hum-dinger of a show this week, we've got a great made up game, Elis peruses the papers, light heatedly of course and we ask the eternal question 'Fancy a Curry?'
Podcast intro
Strange places people listen to the podcast: in a tent in Tierro del Fuego, Argentina.
John's introduction of Elis
"To my left a man whose innovative plan to connect rural Welsh communities has been well received by communities. 'Pavements for People, People for Pavements' or PfPPfP will see individuals sponsor a length of pavement the size of which is determined by the ploughing capacity of their herd. When asked for the inspiration behind the scheme he said "I looked out and saw the beautiful sheep of Snowdonia and I thought if each of those sheep were a metre of tarmac then every man, woman and child could have a length of pathway to call their own.""
Conversations and riffs
This week John had to complain at a budget hotel after someone (not him) had "expressed themselves" on a pillow.
Also, someone out-pounded John, overtaking him with ease as he was out 'Pounding the P'.
Text-in topic
Listeners text and tweet during the show on this week's topic.
Examples of 'self-imposed love exile' or mad coping mechanisms people have used to get over a break-up.
Elis James' Light-Hearted Paper Review
Elis' selection of humorous stories from this week's newspapers.
Hot drink news. Is it a bum bag? No it's a fashionable 'belt bag'.
John's Shame Well
John frees another listener of their shame.
Dressing up in sexy lingerie beneath your long mack to surprise your boyfriend but then having to go visit first his dad then his mum, who are both keen to meet his new girlfriend.
Made-Up Games
Listeners suggest made-up games that Elis and John can play.
Ants, Pants, Man in a Trance: Pick three objects whose names rhyme and describe them to your friend to the rhythm of the game title without saying the name of the object. The other person has to guess the three items.
The 'Keep It Session' Sessions
A special section at the end of the podcast for music recommendations.
