So to watch shows, get ad-free episodes and come on adventures with me, Ellis and Dave.

Head to patreon.com Alison John and get ready for what might be the greatest mega week in the history of the show.

During a normal seven-day period, my highlight would be watching Swansea City beat Charltonon 3-1, but no. Because this week I got to interview the mighty super furry animals, and in a world, first for me in broadcasting, I didn't get it wrong. I'd done my prep over the course of a lifetime. I stopped myself from asking if I could join the band, even though it was the only thing I could think about, and the documentary will serve as a come get me play to six music

for when John retire is in 2032, and I still have 17 years left on my mortgage.

But even that, even me interviewing one of the greatest spans of all time,

pales into insignificance, because this week has been Johnapalooza.

On May the 4th, our hero turned 44, a ripe old, vulnerable age, perfect for a man who loves to tell young people off for having sex in public.

The perfect age for a man who goes to bed at 8.30pm and who successfully negotiated with his mate

that the £80 I've given him every year for his birthday since 2016

should go up with a rate of inflation,

which meant that on Monday I gave him £11.87,

which I know he'll spend on herbal tea.

No, that's not the big news.

Even that has been relegated to the inside pages of the Ellison John Express,

because on May the 7th, 2026,

John's memoir first was released,

and the internet was a blaze.

As long as you only regard the internet as being Pianna Felli's Instagram.
