Summary

Like the very concept of time itself John’s tour continues to march forward at pace, as he aims to visit every stand-up comedy venue in the country. That meant that Elis and Producer Dave were one man short in the studio, but thankfully the big wigs at 5 Live had a more than capable replacement waiting in the wings. Step forward everyone’s favourite son of Swindon... Ivo Graham! Today’s show was packed to the rafters with classic content. Ivo debuted a brand new feature, we heard another edition of John’s Motorway Musings, Producer Dave - one again - was getting ready for the weekend, and Elis got confused by a Made Up Game that eventually went on to become an 8/10 classic. Enjoy!

0:51.5	which has been an absolute game changer so yeah so is your
0:56.0	daughter more cat than dog yes very much so interesting why is that she had a bad
1:02.2	experience a dog barked at my daughter and she was about four and she never really forgot it. She's always slightly nervous. I think her own dogs.
1:09.0	I don't think, I can't think of a single incident to attribute it to. I think it's more her finding cats extremely sweet
1:15.1	rather than her finding dogs intimidating. But who's to say we are constantly plagued by the fear that we don't know our children as well as we should
1:24.0	Oh my God and I just I think it's I don't think I'm quite an admin ready for a cat

1:38.0	I have never kept a plant alive and yet went straight from dead plants to alive cats?
