Summary

After last week's slight change to proceedings, Elis and John returned to their regular live show today, albeit in a slightly shorter slot. But don't worry, there wasn't any less fun; they adjusted their FPM (fun per minute) monitors accordingly. Alongside all the usual content Elis shares a tractor tale, John reveals that he has VERY strong opinions on canned tuna and Producer Dave is forced to do a Cockney accent (surprisingly inaccurately, despite the fact he lived in London for over a decade). Plus, the guys speak to a very special Unsung Hero who is doing an incredibly important job out in Ukraine.

You've both used the word.

0:34.2

It's not that you don't need to be competitive about a word churlish, John.

0:37.6

Do you know what?

0:39.0

I used it loads about 10 years ago.

0:41.0

You did actually.

0:42.4

And then I kind of fell out the habit of using it.

0:45.0

Yeah.

0:46.0

John swooped in.

0:47.0

No, no, no, no, you didn't swoop in because he didn't take it from me in the first place.

But I used it loads until about 2010.
