#418 - Pasta Joke, Quarry Stuff and Black as Sackcloth

Elis James and John Robins

The Cymru Connection is officially newsworthy: we said it could be significant, and boy was it.

Sadly we didn’t get a 2000 word thinkpiece on whether opening with the question ‘where did you go to school?’ is actually harmful for Elis’s xC (expected connections), but we did get a 3 minute package on the nation’s favourite feature that will no doubt be talked about for decades to come. The boys reflect on their newfound cultural importance, and John discovers a hard truth about how his role on this podcast is viewed in Wales.

Beyond all the excitement, there’s chat about the downsides of dressing your children for World Book Day, there’s a Shame Well that’s so shameful it leads to everyone talking French, and the boys wonder why farms always have massive piles of tyres. Your usual fare, basically.

Oh, and we finally get to relive some of John's early stand up material. Brace yourselves.
