BBC Radio 5 live 148 rész
#145 - Finnish Frolicking, Census Sensibility and Naked Wakes
95 perc 148. rész BBC Radio 5 live
Today, we're joined by a surprise Ask John contributor, John is required to offer up a number of corrections and clarifications, and we're reminded why it's never wise to enter a new room naked.
#144 - The Isolation Tapes: We All Have Opinions
53 perc 147. rész BBC Radio 5 live
This week the guys ponder “how far do you need to run before it stops getting sexy?”, and are lucky enough to once again be joined by the world record holder of the 8 mile run (Producer Dave).
#143 - Insane Domains, Effusive Adrian and Futuristic Newsletters
77 perc 146. rész BBC Radio 5 live
Blink and you'll miss today's show, as the horses running around in circles meant the content juggernaut of Elis James and John Robins was reduced to just a one hour offering. But fear not! We make up the time by reading out a list of the many World Championship successes of the Soviet Union's Men's Ice Hockey team, chronologically and in full. Public Service Broadcasting is alive and well.
#142 - The Isolation Tapes: Life Is First Boredom, Then Fear
59 perc 145. rész BBC Radio 5 live
Vintage stuff from Elis, John and Producer Dave today with all frequencies of the electromagnetic #content spectrum touched upon; namely John’s "bag of death", Elis’s aversion to improv warm-up games, and Dave’s upcoming jury duty.
#141 - Feline Apertures, Big Toothpaste and Radio Robins
78 perc 144. rész BBC Radio 5 live
Today's Made Up Game features a heady and nostalgic mix of Mark Goodier, Ultra Naté and Dina Carroll, we're interrupted with pleasant award-winning news, and there's some dubious advice offered up around the use of WD40 on your car windscreen, which should act as a timely reminder to never ever take what's said on this show as gospel. EVER. Enjoy.
#140 - The Isolation Tapes: Elis's Sister's Birthday
45 perc 143. rész BBC Radio 5 live
Set a reminder for April 12th. Not because pub gardens reopen, but because it’s Elis’s sister's birthday and he’s on a one man mission to make sure the whole world knows about it. Also, if anyone from the team at Desert Island Discs is listening then do get in touch; John has all his songs chosen, he’s just finalising his luxury item (is a full sized pub allowed?).
#139 - Foreign Trees, Elusive Elis and Two Dozen Spices
79 perc 142. rész BBC Radio 5 live
After John finished a pen (a feat Elis claimed could never be achieved), graphologist Tracy took it upon herself to analyse the lads' handwriting. Her findings were eerily accurate. Elsewhere, we chat to the textbook definition of an Unsung Hero, Elis decides he doesn't need his microphone anymore, and John cries at his car's mileage again.
#138 - The Isolation Tapes: Perilous Pickles
45 perc 141. rész BBC Radio 5 live
Hypothetically, if you were dared to eat a deathly chilli pickle would you continue to eat the whole jar at your own behest? No? Well John did, and the words 'reaping' and 'sowing' now spring to mind.
#137 - Market Stall Magic, Destructive Shuttlecocks and First Time Flukes
76 perc 140. rész BBC Radio 5 live
As Elis and John continue to bring A-grade content to the masses from their respective homes, it's now widely accepted that the internet issues that plague Elis's connectivity are actually providing him with a fraught edge that you just can't replicate in the safe and secure surroundings of New Broadcasting House. So, although we lose our Welsh counterpart every once in a while, when we ARE hearing him loud and clear, well, what an incredible talent we have on our hands.
#136 - The Isolation Tapes: Mr Rotovator
40 perc 139. rész BBC Radio 5 live
The lads discuss if Elis has what it takes to play League 1 football, if John could scale El Capitan (after six cans and with no extra training), and if Dave should do his gardening topless or bottomless.
#135 - 40 Cats, Conwy Crossbars and Detective James
88 perc 138. rész BBC Radio 5 live
Today, discussion turns to Elis becoming a hypothetical Hollywood superstar, John's professional diligence, and the pitfalls of the phonetic alphabet.
#134 - The Isolation Tapes: Elis James’ Circuit Digs
39 perc 137. rész BBC Radio 5 live
Love is well and truly in the air this week as Elis flirts with the idea of becoming an archaeologist, and the boys discuss Dave’s “blue” Valentine's Day card (it has nothing to do with Manchester City).
#133 - Patriotic Milk, Oche Orators and Scores On The Pause
88 perc 136. rész BBC Radio 5 live
This week, we find out whether Elis's snoring is crippling his love life, we have a strong contender for the best Made Up Game of the year so far, and much to the dismay of his Celtic co-host, John questions the integrity of BBC Wales.
#132 - The Isolation Tapes: John’s Pipe Vigil
45 perc 135. rész BBC Radio 5 live
Dismantling a buggy. An emergency phone call. A 20kg low-alcohol lager delivery. Just three of the high-octane interruptions that threatened to derail this week's episode. Naked numismatists also make an appearance. Which is nice.
#131 - Bleeding Coins, Llantrisant Burns and Chargeable Spitfires
79 perc 134. rész BBC Radio 5 live
On today's show, Elis really gets behind his lifelong love of diesel, John bores a coin expert to death by talking about coins, and we all enjoy a Made Up Game called 'Things In Things'. To get in touch with the show, email elisandjohn@bbc.co.uk
#130 - The Isolation Tapes: The Naked Coin Collector
47 perc 133. rész BBC Radio 5 live
Elis and John discuss selling out (their stance is far less militant than Fugazi's). Also, are you struggling to get rid of your Christmas tree? Just wait for someone "knocking about" to come and collect it.
#129 - Redd Pepper, Killer Calamities, and Amusing Muse Musings
91 perc 132. rész BBC Radio 5 live
A semblance of order was thankfully restored to on air proceedings as Producer Dave's hand remained firm and steady on the 5 Live tiller. If anything, this week's gaffs came courtesy of Messrs James and Robins as their musical credentials were thrown into disrepute during a brilliant Made Up Game. Elsewhere, John flexes his tax muscles with the HMRC and Elis astounds us with some top notch equine improv. Giddy up.
#128 - The Isolation Tapes: Ode to the 90s and 00s
51 perc 131. rész BBC Radio 5 live
There's an awful lot of love for the past today. Specifically for the decade when music finished (the 90s), student gigs and the days of misspent youth, as both Elis and John dream of returning to university.
#127 - 'I Have Lost Output'
86 perc 130. rész BBC Radio 5 live
As slick, competent broadcasts go, today's show won't be bothering any end-of-year award ceremonies. With cut audio and overlooked emails just two lowlights of the programme, it's fair to say Producer Dave will have his head in his hands for some time. Still, good news about the fantastic Made Up Game.
#126 - The Isolation Tapes: Soft John
44 perc 129. rész BBC Radio 5 live
A busy hunk of pure intense chat this week, with seamless traversing of the timeless topics of the CIA, smells and getting kicked in the knackers. Also expect sweet tales of fatherhood and Elis laying into John for frankly little discernible reason.
#125 - Dictionary Fawners, Mean Averages and a Penchant for Purple
78 perc 128. rész BBC Radio 5 live
Week two under the new tri-simulcast regime, and the boys are flying as they broadcast from their respective lounges and open wardrobes. Ulcer obliteration, homeschooling hacks and the plight of the education system all get a run out in what will certainly go down as a 'top-50' level show. Enjoy!
#124 – The Isolation Tapes: Between Wonnacott and Gooch
43 perc 127. rész BBC Radio 5 live
The boys are encapsulating two different aspects of the UK population's gamut of lockdown problems. In Casa del James the issues are of the practical home-schooling variety. In Robins towers the river to navigate is far more existential. So expect childcare stress chat from Elis, and from John rumination on what gives him purpose in life.
#123 - The Isolation Tapes: Booze Banishment & Beauty Sleep
40 perc 126. rész BBC Radio 5 live
The lads return to keep you company throughout Lockdown 3. It's non-stop non-action in the Robins and James households, but they're full of public service advice on quitting booze and going to bed at 7pm.
#122 - Glitchy Daleks, Sky High Plaques and Domestic Printing
79 perc 125. rész BBC Radio 5 live
In what was most certainly a radio first (it probably wasn't), Elis, John and Producer tri-simulcast from Bucks, South London and Salford as the chaps went LIVE for the first time from their respective homes. Was it a looser show than usual? Sure. Did the unpredictable performance of Elis's WIFI network create an air of edgy tension for the entire 90 minute broadcast? Maybe. Was it still top quallo #content. You betcha! After all, who doesn't want to hear a professional broadcaster blow their nose over the intro of David Bowie's 'Let's Dance'? Enjoy the chaos.
#121 - Elis and John's New Year's Day Nuggets
77 perc 124. rész BBC Radio 5 live
Elis and John look back over their favourite show moments from 2020. Including a day that John describes as 'the great betrayal,' a tense Made Up Game and a toe curling Shame Well. Happy New Year!
#120 - Elis and John's Christmas #Content
106 perc 123. rész BBC Radio 5 live
Hitting digital terrestrial airwaves on Christmas Morning, Elis and John bring you a very special show jam-packed with Christmas Content.

#119 - Brian May, Plaque Chat and Poetreh
83 perc 122. rész BBC Radio 5 live
Elis and John chat to Queen legend, Brian May! Or, to rephrase, John chats to Brian May while Elis patiently listens. Elsewhere, some secondary school pupils have a poetic surprise for Producer Dave, and today’s Made Up Game comes with an accompanying spreadsheet that will win awards. Enjoy!
#118 - Overstated Groins, Toddler Tax and Bums
80 perc 121. rész BBC Radio 5 live
A show derailed by backsides, Elis and John try to keep up with a flurry of correspondence focused solely on celebrity derrières and how many we’ve 'collected'. There’s some normal show stuff, too.
#117 - Sackable Tardiness, Naked Nicholas Witchell and Bare Naked Shame
80 perc 120. rész BBC Radio 5 live
After arriving 12 minutes late for today’s show preparation, this may well be Elis’s final show on 5 Live, as John makes it his number one priority to get him disciplined/fired. Elsewhere, a man talks about inventing ATMs. It’s all go.

55 perc 119. rész BBC Radio 5 live
As we bid adieu to the current series of Isolation Tapes, the team enjoy a couple of looseners as Elis and John partake in a very tense game of 'Flagulate'.
#115 - Jayne Torvill, Petrol Pandemonium and Broadsheet Snogs
76 perc 118. rész BBC Radio 5 live
Once again proving why this show isn't part of the BBC's news quota, Elis and John discuss what modern petrol gauges represent, how you practised kissing when you were younger and why the TV programme Catchphrase isn't edgier. It's the kind of high-brow content Emma Barnett WISHES she'd thought up.
114 - The Isolation Tapes: 'We're not actually putting this out, are we?'
50 perc 117. rész BBC Radio 5 live
Elis and John return for another instalment of The Isolation Tapes as John takes on the greatest challenge of his life - naming every country in the world from memory. Can he do it?

85 perc 116. rész BBC Radio 5 live

88 perc 107. rész BBC Radio 5 live
In a rare reversal of moods, John was the one with the pep in his step today, whereas Elis was stressed through having 'a lot on'.
