#580 - Seething Resentment, Lance Legstrong and Director Deputy Director General
02/10/2026 | 1h 9 mins.Horrific. Seething. Resentful. No, those aren’t the words which Dave is feeling towards City’s owners today. Rather it’s the state of Elis’s head right now. He’s hungover.
Yes he’s been on a bender and is quite delicate. As he handles such a dainty state we’re left to stare down the barrel of a listener idea which gives him such anxiety he’d like to just go work on a farm. However, it could potentially win Best Sponsored Character Assassination at the British Podcast Awards.
There’s also niche discussion on David Pannick, we hear why Elis might be bad at anagrams, and did Ryan Giggs have more caps than Ethan Ampadu?
Make sure to tune in on Tuesday because Elis’s intro is going to be extra weak. We might even hear 5 Live Away Day Part 9.
Our latest Adventures episode, a long awaited return to an escape room is out now HERE!

The Elis James and John Robins Show is a Significant Production.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.- Poor old Elis. Just when he thought he’d been surprised enough this year we go and chuck another one his way. Because a famous ghost from his past is about to stroll into the studio and cause all sorts of emotions.
But before then, a trip down memory lane with a Cymru Connectee gets his blood pumping with shame. And he explains why he’d spend his final day on earth signing up to LinkedIn.
John’s also here, and kicks off the show with his new range of Elis and John bunkers. It’s an odd tone setter, sure, but it is current.
Whilst we’re at it, do you want to surprise Elis with anything? Send it to hello@elisandjohn.com.

The Elis James and John Robins Show is a Significant Production.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. - John’s having a nightmare because of a rapidly approaching admin hill AKA a holiday. He’s forgotten to count his t-shirts (but does it in his mind at the start of the show, don’t worry), and then his phone goes off mid-record. All this plus Dave’s confiscated his custard cream brownie until he starts behaving.
Elis on the other hand is buzzing due to an impending trip to Lisbon for the return of his favourite tournament: The Nations League. And he’s had a jazz epiphany.
The Rapid Response Unit is fired up to find out how many t-shirts our listeners own, and we discover why John only listens to Metallica on the toilet.
As announced in the show, we’re now welcoming emails on ANY topic. So send in whatever you fancy to hello@elisandjohn.com.
Plus, the Patreon video experience has been upgraded! Listen to the rambly Ringfence section for more (some) details.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. - There’s been a quiet revolution in John’s life. In one sense everything has changed. In another sense it’s been a quiet couple of weeks. He’s within touching distance of something that no one thought possible: laundry zero.
And continuing the clothes theme, inexplicably there’s a 15 minute debate about what a t-shirt is. We've said it before and we'll say it again: no one else is doing this.
Elis describes his perfect yoga situation, John explains why we need failure and Dave has learned to plait.
Get involved in the debate that’s switching up the lightboards and let us know how many t-shirts you own by emailing hello@elisandjohn.com right this instance.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. - Hosting on 6 Music has long been Elis’s back up for if John ever retires at Project 2032. Sadly Dave reveals some news which could cause deep damage to this long term strategy. Some surprises cause more anguish than others.
Plus Dave and Elis are officially tired of the titling of the Sir Right Honourable Sir Dr John Robins MBE Esq, and Adrian has too much chard. What on earth is he to do?
Know what to do with too much veg? Well send it to hello@elisandjohn.com. And do get yourself on the Patreon, as, despite the remarkably convoluted plug the boys try to do, Dave is keen to stress that it’s dead good and ad free.
