Episode 20
John's Childhood Acting Career, Your Toilet Disasters and some Starbucks Romance
Show broadcast on 29 June 2014
We've got it all this week - a transatlantic Textual Healing, a hugely controversial Sacred Cow, an exciting round of Winner Plays On plus tales of John and Producer Dave's big night out last week. Elis and John also asked for your messages of toilet-related disasters, and you didn't disappoint. Plus Elis translated some Welsh words for John - it turns out the Welsh don't call milk "Cow Cow".

Following on from John's epic tale of being desperate for a wee on the way to a gig: What's the most you've ever needed a wee? Toilet nightmares ("try and keep it wee based").
Textual Healing
A listener calls the show with a problem.
George-Ann from Antigua says a local Starbucks barista has a crush on her and she is scared he might be an axe-murderer.
Sacred Cow
Should this celebrated band / artist go into the paddock of sacred cows or be doomed to the abattoir?
Glastonbury Festival (nominated by John). Abattoir.
Winner Plays On
Elis and John face off in the weekly quiz on topics of their choice.
Sherlock Holmes (John) vs Carmarthen (Elis). Coin toss: tails for Wales. Elis wins. Winning track: Australia by the MSPs. [Tie breaker would have been "In acres how big is this year's site of Glastonbury festival?" (1200acres). John: 1740 acres . Elis 96000 acres.]
