Summary

In radio, every once in a while you’ll spend hours coming up with a good idea only for a different idea to come out of nowhere that just captures the minds of the nation. That’s exactly what happened in today’s show, as Elis James once again demonstrated that he knows EXACTLY what the people of the UK want to talk about. Two texters at once?! What a treat! Thankfully Elis and John can handle multiple areas of discussion at once, and today they proved that they can play text topic tiki-taka with the best of them. Also, the guys speak to a very secretive Unsung Hero, Elis tells a tale of a crisp conundrum and Producer Dave shares a clip of him singing… against his will.

0:41.6	You're award-winning.
0:42.8	This should be a good warm-up to make sure you guys are firing on all cylinders for the live show.
0:48.2	Isn't that the most important order of events here?
0:51.0	No. Rather than warming up live.
0:53.1	It's like making a classic album's documentary before you've recorded the album, Dave.
0:57.8	Yeah, exactly.
0:59.0	They weren't talking heads on rock family trees where a journalist was like,
