Summary

It's all about heights today, as despite scaling the lofty heights of the digital UK audio comedy chat rock face, Elis is still uncomfortable when confronted by a modicum of verticality. But not the case for John who is going to push his own ocular mountaineering boundaries.

Elsewhere there’s dinner dates, Welsh heart rates and service stations potentially located on J8. Oh and there’s an unexpected detour into sex clubs.

If you're under 40 and therefore apparently know about sex clubs then John, entering his sex club year, would very much like to hear it. [email protected] and 07974 293 022 on WhatsApp.

But no filth please, because unlike rival shows this is not a sex podcast!
