Elis James 0:45
Hello, everyone, and welcome to the Ellis James and John Robbins show. It's a big day. It's a fun day. But what you hear of that will be dependent on what platform you're listening on.
John Robins 1:00
That's a nice positive start. What a start.
Elis James 1:03
It's information.
John Robins 1:05
Oh, my God.
Elis James 1:05
Keep it tight for the first 20 minutes. It's like an announcement you get on a train, which tells you a bit too much, but you're glad to know.
John Robins 1:14
But let's not do that, John. I'd get told off if I started a podcast like that. If it was my turn to start the Friday ep and I'd done that, I would have been told off by John.
Elis James 1:24
I can tell him off. All right, tell me off. John, that was poor. Okay, it was informative, though.
John Robins 1:29
And I'm actually really disappointed in you. I don't think you are. Because we treat all our listeners with the same respect.
Elis James 1:35
I know. I wasn't disrespecting anyone. I was informing them. I thought you were brought up better than that. I was brought up well. All right, do all yourselves.
LAUGHTER
Elis James 1:45
Don't ever fake tell me off again. That was horrible and I hated it.
John Robins 1:53
So... That's John's kryptonite being told off. Oh, it is, yeah.
Elis James 1:56
I'm sweating now.
John Robins 1:58
Come on, we're your friends.
Elis James 1:59
It's not year nine. You're 44. For some people, Ellis, it's always year nine. That's deep. Oh.
John Robins 2:09
Oh, of all the years in school to be trapped in, which one would you...
Elis James 2:12
want to be trapped in the least... If my therapist was here, she'd say, say sorry to six-year-old John Ellis.

How do Ellis and John handle criticism in their comedy?

Elis James 2:17
Say sorry to 14-year-old John. Say sorry to 18-year-old John. Sorry, sorry, sorry. There you go. It was better. Sorry. You're welcome to all three. What about 44-year-old John? He's sort of out of the picture. He does the tax returns and sorts the insurance out. And that's good. We like that side of this. Send you a Christmas card. No, he can't be arsed. No.
John Robins 2:39
And that's fine, actually.
Elis James 2:40
And moonpig.com just feels too cheap to do. Yeah. So, unless they want to sponsor the podcast, in which case I use them every day of the year.
John Robins 2:49
Yes, and I use funkypigeon.com and all of the other ones.
Elis James 2:53
Yeah, 44-year-old John, you've got to lean into the positives.
John Robins 2:59
Yeah.
Elis James 3:00
He hits a deadline. Yes. He keeps a house tidy. Yes, that's true. He's always, like, taxed, MOT insured. His tyres are never bald. Good. Your house is tidy. I'll give you that. Thank you. He is good at sort of coming up with practical solutions. He's a good listener.
John Robins 3:21
To things he cares about.
Elis James 3:23
That's very true. Completely zoned out of your World Cup conversation. In 44-year-old John's head, he was just going, corrupt, corrupt, corrupt disgrace. And also, the World Cup conversation was 20 seconds long. Yeah, I couldn't tell you what happened. Three red cards in the opening game. To the organisers. To Donald Trump. That's good. I'd like to send him off.

What is the significance of the Dalai Lama's coffee spill analogy?

John Robins 3:49
44-year-old John is also a satirist.
Elis James 3:53
Yes. So there, but yeah. But no, all the Johns are now content because they've had their apology and it was just a game. It was just a fun game. It was just a fun game. And we manage our emotions on a day-to-day basis. We do. We do. So, I've got a treat for you both. Have you? Well, I'm not sure I do anymore, but I do because you apologised. Okay.
John Robins 4:17
Oh yeah, we'll always apologise. I must admit, I did enjoy telling you all. What have you done in your weeks? Absolutely massive week for me, again. But I should begin by saying thank you for all of the messages about the Royal Albert Hall gig, but there's a few things I need to clear up. Okay. It was a genuine surprise. Okay, so on last Tuesday's ep, if you haven't listened to that yet, well, you're behind, so catch up. But there was a big old announcement whereby we surprised Ellis with news that he will be headlining... That little club venue in West London.
