Oh, really? What was the issue? They do take life very seriously...
Basically someone said he was on it too much and that it's the E&J show and not the E,J and D show. Then some people said that was hurtful as Dave and various family members are often in the group (his mum liked a post of mine once!). Then others said its just an opinion. Others still said that's as maybe but maybe phrase it in a less mean way. Rinse and repeat....

Loved this weeks shame well 😂

One of my faves was from the radio X days (I think) when the guy lied about his dad having a satnav… can’t remember it fully but it’s stuck in my mind and made me laugh soooo much

ETA - found it v easy on YouTube -https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PeSsB7EEwA8

Surely Dave should have been the A. With his shirt off and the black tape on his chest. Just me? 🥵
He probs was, but maybe due to the olde co-vid they had to get Lou to stand in… wonder how they were able to arrange it at such short notice 😉😉😉

Oh Lordy, I had a dream I asked JR out last night 😂 (he was non-committal, lol).

Probably because of this chat, and then listening to an old ep to get to sleep. It was one of the isolation tapes - Elis is talking about r-rates and whether or not it was safe for the childminder to have the kids while he went to work. So strange listening to it - it felt like I'd gone back in time. I forget how grim it was at times. I genuinely think they made it a little easier with their extra episodes, though!
I had a sex dream about him once. It was weird, I couldn’t listen to the pod for a few weeks after that 😂

Ok here’s a question. What do you think is the last bit thats said at the end of the Up Your Region jingle?

All I can get out of it is ….. something, something, something, up there on the table, something something, a feed ’em haddy willis

(the last bit of my interpretation I don’t even think are real words)

PS isn’t it such a shame that they couldn’t take the Made Up Games jingle from Radio X to 5live as it was bloody brilliant

Apart from the ones they host themselves, which podcasts have Elis and/or John been on? I usually find new podcasts by searching for guests I like, and listening to their episodes (my go-to favourite podcast guests are Greg Davies, Tim Key, Alex Horne, Elis and old Jonny JR), so it would be cool to find any I have missed out on. Recommendations would be appreciated!
Elis has been on Quickly Kevin Will He Score (co hosted by Josh Widdecombe) a few times - chatting nostalgic football etc. I am not a big football fan but it’s one of my favourite podcasts. They did a series reading the crime novels of Steve Bruce with Ivo Graham that I just loved. I think maybe Jon has done an episode too?

Elis (and Isy) and Jon have both done My Favourite Takeaway too which I also enjoy.

Chris Scull from Quickly Kevin and Tom Crane from My Favourite Takeaway also cohost Oh What a Time with Elis.

Michael Marsden who produces both Quickly Kevin and My Favourite Takeaway is the producer for Parenting Hell as well (with the very nice deep voice!)

😂 no worries you're amongst friends here!

So, a one-er is someone who has listened to every show from the start (i.e. started listening from the XFM show in 2014) and then a retro oner is someone who has gone back and listened to the entire back catalogue from that first show until present.

I gained retro oner status around April 2020. It probably took about 9ish months 😅
Oh, brilliant - thank you! I'm not sure I will ever reach retro-oner status then, but congratulations on yours :D

Very much on topic! That is absolutely fascinating. Without meloning yourself I'd love to know what type of groups they are as I find this fascinating. Are they other comedy groups?

As I said in the other place, I was SO surprised by the volume of support on the JM/AM post last year. I wish more people could see her for the grifter she is!
ha no not comedy, beer related groups which are a bit toxic at the best of times anyway

The last bit is "Freeman Hardy and Willis" which is a now defunct shoe shop but not sure of the rest.

I've listened to all of Januarys and it's crazy how they're basically a threesome now rather than the occasional chip in from Prod D or (my personal all time fave prod) Vin. If you come from the past to now, it's really noticeable.

Happy that they haven't changed at all in the last 7 years though 💕
I think someone made a comment on the main Facebook page about this and it descended into a bin fire.

Apologies for double post.

I know I would get a bollocking for posting this on the Facebook group so I’m going to ask here - has John said anything about giving up booze on his golf pods/channel or elsewhere? It’s been mentioned a few times on The Moon Under Water that he’s a few months dry now (good for him) but wondered if he’d said whether he was planning a short break or whether he’s Full Time Sober now?

I know we aren’t ‘supposed’ to ask why people don’t drink but I’m intrigued given he hosts a pub about beer and pubs. I’d be sorry to see if go, but can’t imagine The Week/Month in pubs would be a good listen with only Robin pubbing.
I've not heard anything and he only seems to refer to it casually on the 5 live show so I wonder if he's testing the waters of sobriety (sorry, that sounded like something he would say 😂 ) and not wanting to commit fully to teetotalism in case he changes his mind?

Like you, Fishy, I wouldn't say this on the FB group but I have heard through the grapevine 🍉 he's a bit of a nightmare drunk... though I don't think that's even that gossipy to say as he has definitely alluded to that himself!

Are we abandoning hope/speculation re him and Lou now? Haven't seen/heard much recently on her. Although that could be double bluff...!

can we talk about the FB group here too? one of my main amusements there is (I wont name names) a particular #bekind guy who is overly nice and super nice guy mode on there but is an absolute nasty bellend on other groups im in, I find it funny people feel the need to put on a character depending on the group they see is on brand for certain groups and situations.
Haha no way. That's hilarious. I think the FB group is too big and so statistically there are gonna be a lot of coins in there. Which is why it amazes me there are very few (if any??) coins in the JM threads.
