Oh that is exciting! Betabet was great, they need to bring it back

Venue was interesting... I got what they were trying to do which was cool but not sure how well it was in practice. I was in a booth which was cool but had restricted viewing at one side so we all squished over. (obvs directed at o2/festival organisers, not E+J)

On the plus side, I knew the status of the Jubilee line at all times.

We wanted a booth!

Yeah the level of outside disturbance wasn't great.

Not sure they would’ve lasted 5 years as a live show on the bbc if Vin was producing it

agree entirely

Does anyone yone else REALLY not GAF where Chesterfield is at this point?

EDIT to say, all Chesterfield chat is forgiven as John has just read out my email so I'm happy again.

It‘s digressed to Wales now there really are some strange characters in that group

ETA sorry I thought you were talking about the FB page

I see the other Gofundme, buy me a coffee person is quiet after posting nearly everyday! Been exposed maybe? Gave me massive red flag

 

[fishyfishfish]

Have you guys noticed John’s recent use of “dears”? Thought it might be a Lou Sanders-ism

noticed him stumbling over a mention of her on the breakfast show - says he stays on…er….with her cats. V suspect.

Started listening to the Iain Lee Ep of HDYC last night and I imagine that, had he spoken about cocaine the way he did when John was drinking, it would have helped John kick the booze sooner... the same way TMUQ Barry ep did. Does anyone else feel like Elis hardly speaks during HDYC? I'm a massive Robins apologist so might be skewed but it feels like John could do the show alone.

What do we think the big 'good' announcement could be?!

 

[Phil I Buster]

Oh, I just believed he was on holiday in wales for the Easter hols, why would there be a conspiracy?

Because there must always be a conspiracy

 

[Phil I Buster]

Ha! That's loosely how I got into Elis and John too (not the Xfm bit mind). But the fancying someone.

My ex full time BF was LOVED their podcast and kept talking about them, telling me how much I should listen blah blah - it was round about the time they were leaving Xfm, and I listened to a few (really as a way of having something else in common with my ex), and I found I got where he was coming from.

My relationship ended not much later, but my love for Elis and John only grew. I did wonder if it would wane after we broke up but not even remotely Became a retro oner, have seen the lads live, have merch in the house. All because I wanted to impress my ex essentially.

Hilarious the things we do eh!

Brilliant. I love that! Impressing people has its advantages

 

[fishyfishfish]

Have you seen this? It's so funny (note how much they've had to drink at the beginning of the clip!! I think John has stopped drinking rum now?):

I think John has actually stopped drinking completely for the mo, he's been 'sans cans' for a couple of months on TMUW.

Hahahahah do you think?! They are very close... I know people raised it on FB and got shot down by the ethics police but I think it's ok to discuss here - I assume they're not on Tattle

We'll know about it if they are on here, that's for sure! I'm absolutely convinced they are... just from the way he's phrased things on the pod

 

[CocoCottesmore]

If you haven't already, you must listen to the Moon Under Water episode with Barry Glendenning, who essentially describes himself as an alcoholic. It's very emotional and John said on the 5 Live show that he gave up alcohol the following day.

I've still not listened but I think I'm going to now as I've heard so many good things about it.

 

[adviseplz]

Much preferred the second podcast release. Was about to say it would've been better if they'd just done the one episode, and with half the time spent on John's joke, but I guess that's just what it's going to be like after The Big Reset!

 

[just lurking 99]

But there is a fun video by Dave on there today, so it's totally worth it

 

[adviseplz]

Oh, brilliant - thank you! I'm not sure I will ever reach retro-oner status then, but congratulations on yours

Yeah, there are just too many episodes now... Almost 10 years of content! But if you're ever stuck for something to listen to, would recommend picking old episodes at random from XFM/Radio X days, as there are some good ones and they were a little more 'loose' on commercial digital indie radio.

 

[adviseplz]

None of you are bad eggs

ETA TBH guys as much as I don’t want to post this here and I don’t like to ask but I am I desperate ..I need a manicure

I lol’d there

 

[fishyfishfish]

Daniel Radcliffe?! Sorry I’ve not listened yet.

Yep! Not been able to watch anything with him in since.

 

[CocoCottesmore]

I don't mind him. It's a lot but he seems a good sort. There is someone else who always seems to have a lot of moany drama and I have to skip their posts.

 

[just lurking 99]

Aw, I was kind of quite fond of it in the end, after having initially hated it.

I wonder what 'new and exciting features' will be brought in for the 'new and extended' podcast format?

 

[adviseplz]

Can’t believe he’s drinking Guinness out of the can. The only time this is acceptable is in a park/on a train/when glasses aren’t available. UNACCEPTABLE.

omg my boyfriend said the same thing!

 

[fishyfishfish]

So… who’s watching?

Reporting for duty! Cannot believe Francesca has moved in after being with JR for 4 months after his ex fiancée never did after years!
