Summary

Tuesday: in the past it was often looked at as one of the less-favourable days of the week. The weekend feels miles away, you're still not even half way through the working week... not ideal. However, since Elis James and John Robins started releasing two episodes a week Tuesdays have gone through something of a rebrand. Tuesdays are now COOL! They're a day to look forward to. If anything, you could say that Tuesday is the new Friday (in that it's a day when a new episode of the podcast is released). Basically, what we're trying to say is that Tuesdays are great because you get to enjoy another dose of Elis, John and Producer Dave.

In this episode we hear one of the all-time great Shame Well stories that's been added into the hall of fame, John shares an injury he picked up whilst racing against someone in fancy dress, Elis imagines what it would be like to score a goal for Swansea City, and everyone gets a bit jealous of this week's guest in "Around The World in 80 Daves".

0:18.6	could take you into a whole new world full of incredible stories. You know, the type that
0:22.4	make you go, wow. And that kind of inspired me to give it a go myself,
0:26.3	which to cut a long story short led to a BBC training scheme and a whole new career given other people that exact same feeling.
0:33.0	So if you want to hear amazing stories that make you go wow like I did, they're just a tap or a click

1:15.4	Ellis and John podcast.
1:17.3	If you've been under a rock for the last few weeks, we have undergone a format change I termed
1:21.8	The Great Reset as a private joke because the Great
1:24.4	Reset is the name of an online conspiracy theory I read during lockdown and has now
1:28.8	become a turn that incredibly the BBC marketing team in charge of promoting our new podcast has adopted without having Google first
1:36.3	But what does the great reset mean to you the you the listener? Well, apart from the introduction of global communism by stealth, we have new features,
1:45.2	old features and in a bid to create content in an ever more competitive digital landscape,
1:50.4	we're involving anyone and everyone.
