Summary
Elis has a hot chest and feels spacey, whilst John’s got his thrice a decade hay fever, which is a real problem now he’s in full vis. So that’s a great start to the second ever Megatisation era episode.
Today’s a day for big questions, including and not limited to… Are their filthcentric studio sharers the antichrist? Has John nearly completed YouTube? Can he also win an Oscar with his sizzling bath content? Would you queue for a curry house before it opens in the mid afternoon? Do you like prawns? And where’s your mate?
All questions answered within.
And if this is the carbs to fill you up at the start of a great big Elis and John buffet well the high [production] cost protein afterwards can be found over on our new Patreon. Bonus content in the bath and the first ever Adventure of Elis and John are on patreon.com/elisandjohn. And do go through the website rather than the app so that you avoid extra app charges!
And the sweet dessert of the buffet, this week’s Bureau will arrive only / exclusively on BBC Sounds on Saturday morning.

| 0:00.0 | Attention, Ellis and John apologists, vibe tasters, hammer legends and all PCDs. |
| 0:06.1 | This is a content alert. Here at Ellis and John HQ, we are constantly evolving. |
| 0:11.9 | Like Betamax or minidisc, content that stay still is dead. So, after seven years of terrestrial |
| 0:18.6 | podcast-first BBC broadcasting, Ellis and John is entering the future |
| 0:23.4 | sphere. Why did I let John write this? We're forging a path into a new digital millennium. |
| 0:29.1 | The millennium was 26 years ago. From this day thence, Ellis and John will still be available on BBC |
| 0:34.3 | sounds, but the Ellis and John world is expanding. And as a part of that |
| 0:38.7 | Globo-Splosion... Dave, can he say this? As a part of that Globo-Splosion, if you're not listening |
| 0:44.0 | on BBC Sounds, you will start to hear adverts, some generic, some rift by Ellis and I, as we dip our |
| 0:49.4 | toes into the world of independent content creation. |
| 1:16.1 | Music the world of independent content creation. Hello everyone, it's the Ellis James and John Robbins show. |
| 1:19.1 | Welcome to our arena. |
| 1:20.7 | Welcome to our vibe space. |
| 1:27.4 | And we've all got to be very nice to Ellis because he took too much ecstasy last night and couldn't get to sleep. So I don't think he's slept at all. No, that's what it feels. Not even a 10 minx. I think there might be a 10 minx here. Oh, okay. He's had 10 mince. He's fine. I've had 10 min. What a win. You're coming in. Come on, mate. I've only had 10 min's. At 11.50, I thought I'll turn the light off now, but God, I feel alert. Well, that's because you've had your light on until ten minutes to midnight. No, but that's what I do every night, and it's never a problem. And it's never been addressed. It's your major failing. It's never been a problem. |
| 2:02.1 | And then this happens about once a year where I turn the lights off and then it's, |
| 2:06.3 | it's like I'm full of electricity. |
| 2:09.1 | Is it like you're the sort of inverse of a bear in that you save up all your dopamine |
| 2:14.5 | for one evening a year? |
| 2:17.1 | So it's like an anti-hyberation. So I thought, okay, well, this would be up as 12. I can cope with up us 12. Kids are off school. They'll have a lay-in, probably. And then at one, I thought, well, yeah, I can cope with one. One's fine, for God's sake. I'm so young. I love the sleep time bargaining that goes on in one's head. And then, no, no, sort of quarter to two, I thought, this is a late one. But I'm, but I've done things tired. I thought you can cope with a, you know, you can cope with doing things tired, for God's sake. People have been, people have been broadcasting and doing podcast tired for centuries. Did you, I often, |
| 2:51.4 | if I can't get sleep, I'd be like, God, when you were in your 20s, you'd be, you'd be out till too sometimes. I thought, I thought the light would still be on. So I'm actually better, I'm up, I'm doing better, I'm one-nil up. And you're not hammered. And I'm not hammered, I'm not hammered, I had a drink. So I thought to myself, do you know what? |
| 3:07.8 | I passed two. I thought, I'll have hammered, right? I'm not a drink. So I thought to myself, do you know what, half past two? |
| 3:09.0 | I thought, I'll have a change of scene. |
