It has been decreed that this is a football free zone. Well not until John nips out for a vape. Then when he returns, Elis, Dave and the production staff are all attentive and silent.But in this chill zone we imagine a chill world. One in which John has 5.2m followers overnight and has a wellness brand whilst dating a Hollywood heavyweight. You might think it's a leap but rather a reality that was only one swipe away.Also, Elis also asks a very rare thing - a non-archaic question. Could Dave do an indie disco at The Azteca? And how will John be by the time he hits his third party on Saturday? In a word, flagging.Got stuff to send then put it into the pigeon of 2026 - the email. hello@elisandjohn.com is the address.

Elis is fresh from the jolly japes of being surprised with being made to do a headline set in front of 5,000 people at an iconic venue. He's just soooo totally cool about it.“Feel free to leave if it's bad, but give the guy a chance.” So if you want to miss the rush during the gig then stay til the end. John revives an old, and at times deeply criticised, feature. We also hear some more good old fashioned Common Zense, which helps us ask the question, if the Dalai Lama spilt coffee on an important letter would he be calm?Got any parabulation to send in? Well send it on the calm winds to hello@elisandjohn.comAnd please stick around til the end of the show.For more information on Pressure is a Privilege head here.

Today's show is all about one man: one of Wales's greatest sons, one of the football terrace's greatest sons, one of podcasting's greatest sons. We're talking about none other than the the cycling extraordinaire, the cagoule aficionado, the Cymru Connector-in-Chief, Mr Elis James. And what one thing does Elis hate above all else? Surprises. And what do we have in store for him? A surprise so big that John's smirk can almost be heard from the opening drum beat. Josh Widdicombe is also on hand to crank up the tension. Strap yourselves in for the mega-surprise of all mega-surprises. And remember, pressure is a privilege. Away from all the James-centric japes there's a World Cup-based Made Up Game that puts Elis and John's big brains to the test, and a listener reads Ghandi's biography out loud to a youth on a train.Are you feeling surprised?

Strap in and let's make millions.Whilst becoming billionaires is in the air, you know what are also in the air? Questions.

Today's podcast is brought to you by a couple of big cheeses, a couple of real movers and shakers in the audio game. Because Elis and John have redefined what it means to give a keynote presentation at a podcast industry event.Elis will be pushing back on whatever you say, and John won't be wearing no lanyard for no one; he's the Lou Reed of the podcast-first-radio-second generation.But what of Producer Dave? Well he's been banned from doing any DIY (read: superglueing things to walls) by his wife, so that's freed up a lot of his time.Elsewhere there's some intense Cymru Connecting, and a controversial crisp-based Made Up Game involving everyone's favourite owner of a bell tower.Got an important message to send Canope Fibbs, the CEO of Rubadubdub Productions?

A few weeks ago Elis refused to accept the Buddhist idiom ‘the glass is already broken'. In so doing, did he set back mindfulness 10,000 billion years, or did he inadvertently birth a great podcast-first feature? We're hoping it's the latter; welcome to Common Zense.And top-tier podcasting doesn't stop there, because Elis and John have also gone and created the Golden Texter, the Eagle Topic. Commercial digital indie radio, here we come (again).Elsewhere, Elis wants to nationalise headphones, John dissects his love of cowboys, and there's another cracking TV treatment for the Cymru Connection.To send in your mindful idioms for Elis to trash, email hello@elisandjohn.com.And get yourself ready for our next Adventure, The Boys Go Birdwatching, here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/adventure-3-boys-158953760/For lots of exclusive EJJR #content, join our Patreon at patreon.com/elisandjohn.For weekly visual highlights, head to youtube.com/@elisandjohn.For everything else, head to elisandjohn.com.The Elis James and John Robins Show is a Significant Production.

It's a show that asks more questions than it answers. For starters, could Elis and John host Strictly? How are the boys related to classic board game Guess Who? And can you spell catastrophe without top rate cash?These amuse-bouches are followed up with meatier questions: why was John interviewed at a law firm? Why has Elis been under London's strongest thumbs? And why is Dave telling a man called Ed that he's ready to take his trousers off?Most of these are answered, plus find out what John had erroneously left unchopped for 15 years, and Elis takes us down a whole new route in the nation's favourite 60-second Welsh-based acquaintances game, The Cymru Connection.To save Producer Michael's job, send in some nice messages about his great production work to hello@elisandjohn.com.For lots of exclusive EJJR #content, join our Patreon at patreon.com/elisandjohn.For weekly visual highlights, head to youtube.com/@elisandjohn.For everything else, head to elisandjohn.com.The Elis James and John Robins Show is a Significant Production.

Elisângela reconstruiu a vida depois do divórcio ao lado de Rafael e encontrou na fé um novo propósito para continuar. Juntos, eles enfrentaram a dor de duas perdas gestacionais, momentos que abalaram profundamente a família e fizeram os dois questionarem até a própria esperança. Quando já estavam cansados de sofrer, uma profecia trouxe de volta a fé de que eles ainda teriam uma filha chamada Rebeca. Algum tempo depois, Elisângela descobriu uma nova gravidez, marcada por medo, oração e muitos desafios, incluindo uma gestação de risco e uma internação delicada. Com apenas 33 semanas, Rebeca nasceu pequena e precisou ficar na UTI, mas se tornou a maior prova de que eles não desistiram da fé mesmo depois da dor. Hoje, Elisângela olha para a filha como o maior testemunho de que Deus esteve presente em cada detalhe da caminhada deles.

Had the opportunity to sit down with a #powercouple in Arias Organization. Andrea & Elis first made names for themselves here as top producers & are now leading a killer sales force.
“Life's too short to drink bad wine, when people are wine, and drinking is being near them and having them in your life.” Another wise and pithy quote from the mind of John Robins. You'd think that's included in his wise and pithy autobiography about alcohol. In fact it's not, because he gives them out for free here. Gratis.Speaking of all the relevant pith, John's a bestseller! Isn't that neat. No. 2 General Hardback. And No. 1 if you include a vast variety of audio platforms which Big Bird Book won't care to mention.Elsewhere, Dave's brought a present, a listener has been radicalised against Elis and there are yet more sackings in John's crosshairs.Plus, for the RSS & Patreon lot amongst you, you have been ringfenced!

We're living in a Johnapalooza. With the release of his Blubography (trademark: Elis James) last week, John's been touring the country. But do any of his shows bear resemblance to the hallowed 1976 Sex Pistols gig at the Lesser Free Trade Hall? Elis and Dave do their best to draw parallels. Away from book and tour shenanigans, Elis threatens to swear enough to make the show unusable in a bid to halt a guessing game, John imagines how he'd brush his hair if he were an 'odd king', and there's a controversial Made Up Game (featuring a new all-time classic jingle) that includes not one, not two, but three name changes.

It's John Robins day. John Robins Contentaggedon. You simply can't move for Robins. Because John sits at the crest of a content wave. Megatisation, another podcast series, marathon, birthday, millions of interviews and book release have all come as a quick flurry of jabs to the midriff. But is he all tuckered out? Is it all too much? Clearly not because he's got another mad mind game on the go that only Robins could formulate. He's back. He's back in the big time. He won 9 grand yesterday.But it's not all about John, even though today kind of is. Elis is having to accept that The Swans may not trump swans for his son. "Away trip son?" “Well it just feels like a waste of a day.”Plus, who have you chapinhanded? Let us know via hello@elisandjohn.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. It's a tale of two anecdotes today, and in a way both of them fall into the latter category. Elis has been donning his corporate hat on no sleep and nearly no thumb, while John has been encountering some very public acts of love.With the dust finally settled on all things marathon, we're back to regular programming: a Cymru Connection that's literally staring Elis in the face, and a Made Up Game that leaves everyone giggling like school children.Have you ever encountered public love-making?

Elis Taylor taught from Acts 15 and gave some external and internal principles we need to move through conflict in our lives.
We are truly honoured this week to be joined by one of our favourite historians in the world; it's German-British author, who penned of one of Elis' favourite ever books (Beyond the Wall: East Germany, 1949–1990), it's Katja Hoyer!Katja is here to discuss her brand new book ‘Weimar: Life on the Edge of Catastrophe' which details the collapse of German democracy as the Nazi's tighten their grip on power.Elsewhere, is taking a hot air balloon to the North Pole a good idea? We're going with no.

They did it! The marathon has been conquered by the bravest and youngest boys around, Messrs John Robins and Dave Masterman. And due to the circular nature of this show's recording schedule, just 5 days later we can finally bask in the glory of their amazing achievements! So strap in for a marathon debrief like no other, including a squat competition (which is the real quiz) that has disastrous results for one competitor, and an abandoned dusk run in Farringdon as a result of said squat competition. Elis also reveals whether he'll be entering the ballot for next year. All this, plus the joys of solo restauranting, a debate about whether the phrases ‘French Rugby League' and ‘very interesting' are good bedfellows, and some Radio 4 listeners describe the show in a less than glowing way.

It's T-2 until Marathon Day. The trainers are being laced. The talc is being applied. And the Ass Magic is getting to work. This is the pre-game build up. That half an hour where Carragher and Neville talk about a variety of hypotheticals.Do you find the marathon talk boring? Well it's what we're doing, so ‘jog on'. But that does mean we're getting very close to the final boss of Running To Win and Hating Yourself.And whisper it quietly, but no matter how he gets on this weekend, the John who used to hate exercise should be very proud of how far he's come.But it's not a marathon, it's a decathlon... of content. Those events include: John crying at a dating show, Elis not getting Buddhism, and eating 6 baked potatoes in 24 hours.Got anything for us?

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.

Huge news. Elis has nearly got into a fight. He nearly lamped a bloke because he confused Llanfairfechan with Penmaenmawr*. Of course he didn't. Rather he was being a stand up citizen protecting this nation's highways. But heroism doesn't pay, because it's also time for the semi-regular spousal Elis James rinse. Isy's been talking about Elis on other platforms, which means great insight for us all. What is he like away from the limelight of one of the UK's most megatised podcasts? Until what time every morning is he in his boxers? Does he really quote football cliches to his wife? Elsewhere, could we record John's therapy sessions for bonus content? Does Adrian Chiles like swimming? And there's massive stuff going down in the Rodders-Winter Universe. *In all fairness they're right next to each other on the A55.Whatever it is you've got send it to hello@elisandjohn.com.For lots of exclusive EJJR #content, join our Patreon at patreon.com/elisandjohn.For weekly visual highlights, head to youtube.com/@elisandjohn.For everything else, head to elisandjohn.com.The Elis James and John Robins Show is a Significant Production.

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.To get in touch contact via our brand new email hello@elisandjohn.comFor weekly visual highlights, head to youtube.com/@elisandjohn.For everything else, head to elisandjohn.com.The Elis James and John Robins Show is a Significant Production.Hosted on Acast.
