Summary

Two towering national figures dominate today’s podcast; bloobs and David Attenborough. Bloobs because John has realised he lives in heaven and he backs the Chilterns. Attenborough because John’s been watching his new (filthy) TV show and Elis has been having nightmares about knocking him down the stairs.

Three other culturally significant totems also feature: First there’s the new DG who meets John (in a show intro that Elis labels ‘a real case study into the workings of John’s mind’).

Then there’s Steve Coogan and his historic aggressive vibing with Robins.

And thirdly, and probably most importantly, there’s the Cymru Connection. Elis has a new approach to reaching 50%, and all he needs is a complete list of all of Wales’s teachers…

If you were looking for a means to interact with the show, then look no further than the medium of email. Send your bits to hello@elisandjohn.com.

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

0:38.7	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.
1:09.5	... the world of independent content creation. Hello everyone. After wrapping up the morning life during class, my PA Samantha looked up from her easel as I put on my road.
1:18.5	You're coming along so well, Sam, I said. Yes, I think it's the extra large canvas. They give me more freedom to draw you accurately.
1:29.1	Yes, you've really captured something there. Is it your enchanting brooding quality? No, it's not my enchanting brooding quality.
1:36.2	Is it your immeasurable depths? No, it's not my immeasurable depths. Is it your muscular urgency
1:43.3	that wouldn't be out of place amongst the great classical sculptures?
1:46.7	No, no, it's not my muscular urgency that wouldn't be out of place amongst the great classical sculptures.
1:52.8	I can't quite put my finger on it.
1:56.1	Maybe I could put my finger on it, Sam said, with a wink.
