XFem. Ellis James and John Robbins on XFM podcast.

Thanks for downloading the Ellis James and John Robbins podcast from XFM.

Unfortunately, there's only a tiny bit of John Robbins in it this week

because he's blowing minds in Auckland, New Zealand,

but you managed to get him on the line, got him on the phone,

and we talked to him for a bit. We'd made a new sting that cut his name out. It was just

Ellis James on XFM, and he heard that and got very, very upset. So I had to comfort him and

let him know that we still love him and that he hasn't been sacked. He's just sort of on holiday,

on a busman's holiday. But whilst

unfortunately there's very little John, fortunately, there's plenty of, she stood next to me right now,

Roshin Connerty. Hello. Hello. Well, there would have been more, but Roshin was hugely late.

Her alarm didn't go off, that old chestnut.

Yeah, she was contractually obliged to be in here from 10 o'clock.

I got here at 25 past 9.

Roshin rolled in at about...

1057.

1057.

So the first hour of the show, that was gone.

Thankfully, because of technology, I was able to talk to Robbins,

filled. I flound it a bit, a bit like that part of Wayne's World, where Wayne leaves Garth and

he has to present a show on his own. But at the end, he's like, hey, you really left me home

there, but I think I did pretty well um talk to producer Simon uh I was it was like that um you know they say about ducks and uh they look very calm on the surface but underneath their feet were uh you know sort of going 10 to the dozen producer Simon he looked super chilled but I could tell from the one solitary bead of sweat rolling down his forehead.
