Summary
It’s a definition bumper pack show today as we cram as much goodness as we possibly can into a single podcast episode. Think of us as one of those fruit shots; it’s pure podcasting distilled into a single hit.
The main ingredient is friend of the show Josh Widdicombe, who pops by to talk all things pop culture. He’s adding a new wing to his podcast empire and Elis and John have suggestions. Josh also provides a boots-on-the-ground review of Elis’s recent return to standup, and lifts the lid on his lofty ambitions.
Widdicombe aside, John returns to a simpler time, a more fruit-game-based time. But he ain’t slicing, no, no. This time, he’s merging.
And the fun doesn't stop there as Elis attempts to arrest the Cymru Connection slide by asking a caller if they've ever bought baguettes in Cardiff. It’s vintage stuff.

| 1:11.6 | Listeners, I need to be honest with you. It's time for real talk. Yesterday I had a full schedule and in an uncharacteristic move I slept in due in part to my forgetting to put a timer on the digital rain I listened to when trying to sleep. When I finally awoke, I was over eight and a half hours in to ten hours continuous rain. And despite momentarily panicking that my roof had been stolen, |
