  • Episode 21 - Life Hacks, Transport Without Curves & Producer Dave Splinched
    No Producer Dave this week as he's off at a festival large-ing it, but Elis and John, the self-appointed "Un-Produceables", haven't let that stop them. This week they're attempting to talk about Life Hacks, but are distracted by the concept of transportation without curves. Plus there's Textual Healing, an unprepared Winner Plays On, and John's short essay on his 5 favourite albums. Remember you can get in touch with the boys on [email protected] if you want to get involved, and you can listen live every Sunday from 10am til 1pm on Xfm.

    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".

  • Episode 19 - Paul Daniels, The Boat That Rocked, Mick Hucknall MP & The Price of Gold
    More top drawer fun this week from Elis and John as they investigate the lies we've told each other, including some corkers about Gremlins, Mick Hucknall and the World Cup. In a change from the norm, Elis mocks John's clothing as the self-confessed hater of heat had the audacity to arrive in the studio in shorts. All this plus the regulars - Winner Plays On pits Elis' Triple Crown winning Welsh Rugby Team against John's encyclopaedic Sherlock Holmes knowledge, Sacred Cow puts The Rolling Stones up for debate, and Paul Daniels was on the phone for Textual Healing. Yup. Remember you can get in touch with the boys on [email protected] if you want to get involved, and you can listen live every Sunday from 10am til 1pm on Xfm.

    Lots of great stuff this week, but mainly just a list of famous Davids. You'll see why.

  • Episode 16 - Anthea 'The Body' Turner, Meeting Your Idols, Harry Potter Abuse & Producer Dave's Joke
    Welcome back!
    This week is a big one; John had an incredible celebrity experience, Producer Dave told the show's best joke, and Elis had a cheese toastie at Leigh Delamere services.
    The boys talked about meeting your idols and Elis reveals he turned down The Smiths' Johnny Marr. The Smiths themselves are up for debate in regular contentious feature Sacred Cow, an anonymous caller gets some linguistic advice in Textual Healing, Winner Plays On is back, and John takes a lot of abuse from Elis over his love of Harry Potter.
    All this plus some shocking news about Anthea 'The Body' Turner.

  • Episode 15 - Eating A Prawn Madras Alone, Your Tales of Bravery and Crime-Fighting & Some Communal Reading
    Good news - John's back! Although he's been suffering with mouth ulcers, but don't worry he doesn't go on about it. Trauma for Elis this week too after he fell victim to a bag thief in central London. Our two heroes unsuccessfully chased the perps down Regent Street, so this week they've been asking for your tales of catching criminals and it turns out there are many brave vigilantes out there.
    Plus there's the usual Winner Plays On, Led Zeppelin are up for debate in Sacred Cow, and some relationship troubles are broached in Textual Healing. All this before John launches his campaign for office by asking you to keep live music alive. Join the boys live next Sunday from 10am til 1pm on Xfm.

  • Episode 14 - John In the future, Special Guest Roisin Conaty, Elis' Memorable Eyebrows & Some Marriage Preparation Advice
    Hello there! John is in New Zealand "blowing minds" (performing) this week, and so Elis was left to man the ship in his absence - but fear not, as a pajama-wearing Roisin Conaty stepped in (eventually) to help Elis, and John even made an appearance through the magic of the telephone. There's news of John's new Wikipedia page, mention of Gazza, and a quite incredible call in Textual Healing from Steve in Kent. Plus Elis and Roisin discuss your excuses for lateness, and Producer Simon talks us through a Marriage Preparation Class he recently attended. John will be back in the studio next week - join him and Elis next Sunday from 10am til 1pm on Xfm!

  • Episode 13 - Easy-Going Elis, Invented Recipes, Producer Dave Back From Amsterdam & Hungarian Throat Singing
    Welcome back, welcome back. This week's podcast is high stakes, as Elis and John battle it out in Winner Plays On with Elis attempting to stop John's fifth win in a row - find out if he gets to keep the trophy! And find out if pint-sized Icelandic bohemian Bjork makes it into the paddock or the abattoir in Sacred Cow. Plus the boys find out about your bizarre invented food combinations (and get an angry reaction to a peanut butter and jalapeno sandwich). There's talk of all-nighters, Elis' laissez-faire attitude, and Producer Dave has returned, which is very exciting news. John and Elis are back live next Sunday from 10am til 1pm on Xfm - see you then!
