Summary

Elis has Barrel of Eggs’ed it. Or more accurately, Isy has. The new car has met its match in the form of inner-London car park tight corners. But for a show that holds content on the highest pedestal possible, this can only be seen as a good thing.

Not only has Elis got a damaged car, but he also has a damaged connection rate in the Cymru Connection. Can youth-based listener Holly be the ticket Elis needs to do a three point turn and drive straight up Success Alley?

Elsewhere there’s an abundance of fun as both Benjamin Partridge and Lou Sanders give their two cents on hot air balloons and the glowing-up of Elis James respectively, John does some winning and losing, and a trip to the sound proof booth causes Elis to do some very strange things…

Me, Izzy and our two kids are driving into central London to watch Hercules, because Izzy's old friend Steve from college is playing the role of Hades at London's theatre royal in the glittering West End. We're off to meet Izzy and Steve's old friend from college, Nick and his son for a pizza before the show. Isn't this what life is all about?
1:21.0	Izzy's so proud of Steve, she cries happy tears throughout the show. Life's good. As we drive in, the news seems dominated by royal headlines, but let's not discuss that in case Dave's head explodes. As we get to the multi-story car park, an SUV is struggling to turn the corner, and I point out that a lot of these old multi-story car parks weren't built with the width of modern cars in mind. But then I reassure Izzy who is driving by saying, but that doesn't apply to us, because we don't own an SUV, because they're too big and what's the point?
