It’s been a big old week for Johnny JR, but has he won again? Well it’s one in the win column for his much anticipated return to the small screen. But it would be helpful if he could remember the name of his own TV show…

And then there’s the small matter of updating the firmware on the CarPlay in the Sportage. Will John win against 2017 technology? Or will Theresa May-era software prove his downfall?

Elsewhere Elis attempts to remount the Cymru Connection horse, and there’s the return of Made Up Game hall-of-famer Brain Darts which doesn’t disappoint.

It’s an evening pre-record this week, and it would be a little bit more jazz, a little bit more Soho and a little bit more laid back…if Dave’s train hadn’t been held up by cows, and John’s stomach wasn’t in confusion mode.

And yet there’s no denying that we are totally committed to ‘keeping Britain moo-ving’ as we share treatments for tricky skin, reflect on Elis’s bed time pork pies and give yeast the big rebrand it has long-since deserved.

Finally, we feel that sense of calm as John reads Elis another parable in Common Zense, concluding that our brain is ‘just an organ with no idea what it’s doing’. Yes, totally calm. Plus, there’s a cracking Mad Dad that exposes one of our Brave Broadcasters as a Nude Dad…

After doing what Status Quo failed to do, breaking America, Elis thinks it fitting to introduce the world of EJJR to those living stateside. So behold some dodgy accents, references to ‘mom’s apple tart’ and Elis, John and Dave’s personal Mount Rushmores.

But having made his name doing what he does best, Cymru Connecting, how will Elis fare with all this added pressure? Will the weight of American expectation weigh him down too much? Will the man be able to live up to the hype?

Then it’s onto a pair of all-time classics; a new big band Made Up Game jingle which gives Elis’s cognitive decline its own trumpet motif, and a tennis-based game that enters the MUG Hall of Fame before it’s even played.

Plus the latest Adventure of Elis and John is revealed! Here for more info.

Do you have a great game we can play? Have you made a musical motif for John’s post-lunch sadness? Do you have a question that just begs to be answered? You’re in luck because you can send all these things to [email protected].

The heat’s great isn’t it. As John points out, it’s no longer twee and fun headlines, instead it’s “Phew You’re All Going To Die Quite Soon”. What japes! Luckily we’ve got the cool cucumber balm of content for those toasty ears. 

And may we say, there’s some top notch correspondence today pertaining to love struck albums, lathes and crucial public health information on getting your bits checked every so often. After all it’s important to be health conscious. 

Plus there’s a fabulously topical Shame Well and a hot gloopy Mad Dad to attend to. 

If you’ve got anything to send on the topic of sexual health then [email protected] is the destination. 

And remember, if you’re in young love and want to express yourself, do keep those emotions in lockdown.

After a bout of promiscuous and unprotected thinking, John’s been in a panic sphere. He’s only gone and given himself a mind STD, but could some watermelon body wash be to blame?

All this leads to a full circle moment for Elis. He might be headlining the Royal Albert Hall next year, but is the realisation of his long-touted ‘health podcast’ actually his career zenith?

Listener JB sends in a cracking impressions-based Made Up Game, and we take a harrowing trip down John’s Shame Well.

It has been decreed that this is a football free zone. Well not until John nips out for a vape. Then when he returns, Elis, Dave and the production staff are all attentive and silent.

But in this chill zone we imagine a chill world. One in which John has 5.2m followers overnight and has a wellness brand whilst dating a Hollywood heavyweight. You might think it’s a leap but rather a reality that was only one swipe away.

Also, Elis also asks a very rare thing - a non-archaic question. Could Dave do an indie disco at The Azteca? And how will John be by the time he hits his third party on Saturday? In a word, flagging.

Got stuff to send then put it into the pigeon of 2026 - the email. [email protected] is the address.

Who’s that co-hosting this week’s podcast; is it Jean-Paul Sartre? Is it Hannah Arendt? Is it Ronan Keating? Sure, they’ve all opined on the nature of existence, but has our very own philosopher Johnny JR finally hit the nail on the head?

John presents a new thesis for existence, but Elis and Dave aren’t buying it…

After watching a room full of people cheer Paul McCartney’s every word, Elis is inspired to tap into his own musical talents. Plus a cracking zen-based Made Up Game and a return to the Cymru Connecting arena.

Elis is fresh from the jolly japes of being surprised with being made to do a headline set in front of 5,000 people at an iconic venue. He’s just soooo totally cool about it.

“Feel free to leave if it’s bad, but give the guy a chance.” So if you want to miss the rush during the gig then stay til the end. 

John revives an old, and at times deeply criticised, feature. We also hear some more good old fashioned Common Zense, which helps us ask the question, if the Dalai Lama spilt coffee on an important letter would he be calm?

Got any parabulation to send in? Well send it on the calm winds to [email protected]

And please stick around til the end of the show.

Today’s show is all about one man: one of Wales’s greatest sons, one of the football terrace’s greatest sons, one of podcasting’s greatest sons. We’re talking about none other than the the cycling extraordinaire, the cagoule aficionado, the Cymru Connector-in-Chief, Mr Elis James. 

And what one thing does Elis hate above all else? Surprises. And what do we have in store for him? A surprise so big that John’s smirk can almost be heard from the opening drum beat. Josh Widdicombe is also on hand to crank up the tension. 

Strap yourselves in for the mega-surprise of all mega-surprises. And remember, pressure is a privilege. 

Away from all the James-centric japes there’s a World Cup-based Made Up Game that puts Elis and John’s big brains to the test, and a listener reads Ghandi’s biography out loud to a youth on a train.

The UK’s stagnant economy is about to have a huge injection of growth, because Elis has got a big idea and a big observation. Strap in and let’s make millions.

Whilst becoming billionaires is in the air, you know what are also in the air? Questions. Questions such as would you rather be a long boy or a boxy boy or a baggy boy? Is Christ going to be on Jools Holland? And do you have to ask what John’s mood is before you offer him a nice thing?

We also discover the most expensive substance on earth by weight.

Have you got something more precious per gram? Well let us know via [email protected].
