#532 - Cat Yoghurt, Snatching Defeat and David’s Got 19 Bikes
4/17/202658 min
Huge news. Elis has nearly got into a fight. He nearly lamped a bloke because he confused Llanfairfechan with Penmaenmawr*. Of course he didn’t. Rather he was being a stand up citizen protecting this nation’s highways.
But heroism doesn’t pay, because it’s also time for the semi-regular spousal Elis James rinse. Isy's been talking about Elis on other platforms, which means great insight for us all. What is he like away from the limelight of one of the UK’s most megatised podcasts? Until what time every morning is he in his boxers? Does he really quote football cliches to his wife?
Elsewhere, could we record John’s therapy sessions for bonus content? Does Adrian Chiles like swimming? And there’s massive stuff going down in the Rodders-Winter Universe.
*In all fairness they’re right next to each other on the A55.

The millennium was twenty-six years ago.

From this day thence, Ellis & John will still be available on BBC Sounds, but the Ellis & John world is expanding. And as a part of that globo-splosion- Dave, can he say this? As a part of that globo-splosion, if you're not listening on BBC Sounds, you will start to hear adverts. Some generic, some riffed by Ellis and I, as we dip our toes into the world of independent content creation.

[upbeat music] Do you like being educated on things that are entertaining but don't matter? Well, then you need to be listening to The Podcast with Knox and Jamie. Every Wednesday, we put together an episode dedicated to delightful idiocy to give your brain a break from all the serious and important stuff.
