Elis James And John Robins On Radio X Podcast

Elis James sends texts to John Robins in complete confidence: John Robins broadcasts them to the nation. It’s why this show just WORKS. A brilliant show which will tell you why John is meek and why Elis is the best guy to go to if you’re unsure of which historic football memorabilia to buy for a loved one’s birthday. All that plus the Humblebrags, John’s Shame Well & some brilliant Emails from the gorgeous PCDs. Remember, you can get in touch on Saturday@radiox.co.uk (if you’re on e-mail.

The dream team are back together! John made it through his ‘week of death’ on tour, with a few grey hairs to prove it. He got straight into the massive backlog of your emails, with more wackaging and even a wackager! We joined Danny Wallace for the start of his Snowbombing road trip (even if it was only in spirit) where he went head to head with Elis in Potato Potato, and a brand, spanking new Made Up Game was played - Masterchef or Master… Shouldn’t?

Of course normal service will resume soon, but we do love a guest host. Friend of the show and all round legend Ed Gamble took up the mantle this week and hammer-smashed it out of the vibe park. The best bit is, even in John’s absence, there was no shortage of shame. Plus, it’s always a laugh to hear Elis having a nightmare with muscle-memory.

Before you listen to this week’s podcast…. Do you think Elis wins Made Up Games or not? He really does try his best. There were absolutely tons of E-mails to get through this week, so prepare yourself for a bumper pack of wackaging. There’s plenty of shame, bags of badinage and all the analysis of John’s appearance on Sunday Brunch last week. Remember, you can get in touch on Saturday@radiox.co.uk (if you’re on e-mail.

Have you ever had to take your shoe for a shower?! Definitely avoid feeding ham to foxes. There’s no two ways about it – the lads were almost literally on fire in this week’s show. You had the cutting and clear tones of Johnny Robins and the soft and regional lilt of Elis “the pro” James. There were Humblebrags, an extremely engaging Made Up Game and enough top chat to cure John of all his ailments (skin, bladder & cheek).

To quote Elis James: “John’s back, he’s back, oh God how I’ve missed him.” John returned in triumphant form to clear the gutters of shame as they sat overflowing with neglect. This week, explore the legend of Dublins “Pint men”, find out why Elis is so aggravated and discover a BIG piece of news!!!! All this plus the Humblebrags, a Light-Hearted Paper Review, Emails and tons of badinage. Remember, you can get in touch on Saturday@radiox.co.uk (if you’re on e-mail.

Getting underway this week with a gig/snow-based PSA on behalf of absent capable comedian, John Robins. In his seat, “your favourite comedian” James Acaster – but which famous ex-footballer did he meet in a service station earlier this week? PLUS, Elis sports a questionable hat, listener James is looking for “stock lines” that he can use in the gym, a “mystery texter” contacts the show and we throw in all the usual good stuff (Paper Review, Humblebrag, Made up Game) for absolutely nothing!

So John’s off touring the world (UK) this week, but never fear as we were treated to James Acaster, who joined Elis to tackle a classic Humblebrag or two and play another one of your quallo Made Up Games. As well as talk of an obscene amount of Nakd bars (70?? Really?!) and a blast from the past with James’ Classic Scrape. Remember, you can get in touch on Saturday@radiox.co.uk (if you’re on e-mail.

Well what a palaver. We all remember Tick Tock Robins don’t we? It was so fraught that we didn’t even have time for Humblebrags! Imagine that!? John arrived eventually and it all came together nicely in the end. A brilliant show that gave Elis a chance to beat his commercial-indie-digital-radio wings on his own for a bit. There was a lovely paper review, a quallo set of E-mails and an update of Robins’ continuing tour! Remember, you can get in touch on Saturday@radiox.co.uk (if you’re on e-mail.

Elis finally got his own back on his old teachers this week, and John revisited his education too – but, arguably, in a more sad way. The boys discovered a historical Humble Brag, John’s driving knowledge was put to the test, and we took another journey into the Shame Well. All this plus the usual – a Made Up Game, your emails, and Elis’ Light-Hearted Paper Review. Remember, you can get in touch on Saturday@radiox.co.uk (if you’re on e-mail.

Poor, poor little Robins. He could hardly talk, bless him! Still dragged himself in thought didn’t he? John had tonsillitis this week so Elis did the lion’s share of the talking. There was still plenty to laugh about though; not least how Elis is getting on with his daughter’s potty training (spoiler: It’s not going well). There was also a smashing Made Up Game from listener Matt and it was right up the lads’ street. All this plus the usual Humblebrags, a Shame Well read by Elis and a couple of lovely emails.

This week, you’ll find out why dentists are basically like vets and why John felt like a thousand billion dollars! Lucky you! How bad is spitting? More to the point; how bad is graffiti? There’s a paper review, Prod V learns that a Tesco breakfast is a thing and John wins the ashes by switch-hitting Elis. All that plus an Anthemic Made Up Game, Humblebrags and a thorough Ronnie O’Sullivan update. Remember, you can get in touch on Saturday@radiox.co.uk (if you’re on e-mail.

Robins is back from New York but is Robins the lovely Robin? As in…. Is he actually him?! That’s one of the listener theories this week. Also, find out why John wants to marry New York barmaids.

You can’t have escaped that tirade of press coverage… It’s the least that can be expected when a man like Robins is stranded stateside and unable to broadcast. Elis soldiered boldly on though; with a stiff upper lip and a determined look in his eye. That was not before enlisting the help of esteemed friend of the show, Josh Widdicombe! Robins still managed to put his two cents in though and (once he was out of bed) joined in the fun from across the pond. A brilliant show with all the Humblebrags, shame and badinage that you’d expect. Remember, you can get in touch on Saturday@radiox.co.uk (if you’re on e-mail.

Join Elis & John as they look forward to 2018 - by looking back at 2017, and making some BOLD predictions...

Hello team! Elis & John hit the 200 mark this week (excluding Bonus Podcasts and no doubt with some counting errors) so they looked back at the past double century of GREAT RIFFING and picked out the best bits.

Fear not if you’re lost in the bizarre twilight zone that is the festive lull – it doesn’t feel like a Thursday does it? - Robins was once more unleashed to see you through. John and Producer Vin Ticked Off Tastes, cast more Shame into the Well, learnt more about Ronnie ‘The Rocket’ O’Sullivan, and chatted passive aggressive notes and Christmas disasters. And, of course, the Travel was Googled. Remember, you can get in touch on Saturday@radiox.co.uk (if you’re on e-mail.

199 Episodes you say?! This was a lovely seasonal edition with presents, cheer, togetherness and shame all in abundance. Will you be going to the John Robins Christmas Party? No of course you won’t – because only John is going. Producer Devvers, once (and only the once) of this parish joined to bring gifts and japes in his new role as boss of everything. Plus, a Made Up Game, the ever-present Humblebrags, some lovely E-mails and a post-match analysis of comedians football. Merry Christmas PCD’s!

How quickly did John win Elis over? Find out in the 198th show. It was a stonking show with plenty of what we love most. Bags of shame, plenty of self reproach and a good deal of badinage. Did the lads enjoy the snow? What happens at the John Robins Christmas party? All this plus Humblebrags, John’s own made up game and some hilarious emails.
