We join our heroes during a telling off session, because someone is being a naughty boy. Has John eaten too much chocolate on the way in and he's about to experience the mother of all choco crashes? Has Elis insisted that we scrap the proposed running order to talk instead about every conceivable permutation of the Nations League? Or could Producer Dave be the one in the firing line…?After the air has been cleared, it's pumped full of excitement. Elis receives quite possibly the greatest bit of post to leave Postman Dave's sack since its creation, and John relishes the prospect of ball-by-ball cricket commentary.There's muscle chat, zoo chat, and a tiny bit of (sorry) worlde chat.You too can get involved with the Elis and John ‘No One Else is Doing This' podcast. Email elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk, or WhatsApp the show on 07974 293 022.
The Wappingers Falls field general joins Rog to discuss Bournemouth's no holds-barred high-pressing style, why he feels at home on the South Coast and what the USMNT needs to changes after March's Nations League fiasco.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Acceptance is the word on everybody's lips today, but it has different meanings for Elis and John. For John it's a meaningful form of accepting things as they are in life. For Elis it's about accepting that his wife Isy will never be interested in the Nations League. Both are valid, I'm sure you'll agree.Also getting in on the acceptance game is this week's special guest, Harriet Kemsley, fresh from her appearance on Last One Laughing. Her form of acceptance centres around dating, and together everyone questions whether Harriet should really be hosting a dating podcast…Elsewhere, there's a humdinger of a Cymru Connection (complete with surprise connections left, right and centre) and John tallies up the wins and losses in the second instalment of John Wins Again.If you want to get in on all the acceptance fun, get in touch via email: elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk, or WhatsApp: 07974 293 022.

We're covering a ton of ground on this episode of The Best Soccer Show. Jason starts by dropping news of the Gold Cup draw for this summer. The USMNT goes into the continental tournament needing to improve dramatically under Mauricio Pochettino after a poor Nations League. Dan Vaughn of Protagonist Soccer to talk about the draw, tell us about his 23 USMNT shirts (23????), and discuss split allegiances in his soccer household. Then Dan hangs around to discuss the big USL Championship TV ratings from the weekend. WHAT DOES IT MEAN???? More than 750k watched second division soccer on Sunday. BOOM TIMES BABY. Then Dan and Jason discuss the news that MLS owners tabled a vote on switching the league calendar to the fall-to-spring version used in most of Europe. Finally, Dan leaves and Jason heads into a review of the state of the American player in MLS and whether the league should do more to center Americans in its on-field product. How does Liga MX do it with Mexican players? That leads into a review of 28 MLS teams (Toronto and Montreal get left out) and their efforts to grow players that could ultimately held the USMNT.

The race between Wrexham and Wycombe for second place and automatic promotion remains too tight to call as both sides drop points against relegation-threatened opposition.
