It’s a funny old episode today due to the circular way this podcast is recorded. In one sense you could say that John and Dave HAVE run the marathon (indeed post-mara John does make a brief appearance), but in another, very real sense you could argue... more

It’s T-2 until Marathon Day. The trainers are being laced. The talc is being applied. And the Ass Magic is getting to work. This is the pre-game build up. That half an hour where Carragher and Neville talk about a variety of hypotheticals.

Two towering national figures dominate today’s podcast; bloobs and David Attenborough. Bloobs because John has realised he lives in heaven and he backs the Chilterns. Attenborough because John’s been watching his new (filthy) TV show and Elis has bee... more

Huge news. Elis has nearly got into a fight. He nearly lamped a bloke because he confused Llanfairfechan with Penmaenmawr*. Of course he didn’t. Rather he was being a stand up citizen protecting this nation’s highways. 

But heroism doesn’t pay, beca... more

  • Dave 😍

    This is such a lovely show. Elis andJohn are both hilarious and lovably infuriating in their own ways. But for me, the heart of the show is Producer Dave, he balances it perfectly and has endless patience and kindness, which given he’s got 3 young kids and a hell of a commute is a joy. You Todgers are fabulous.

Q: What should I focus on in the final days before a marathon?
