Summary

There’s some big goals targeted on today’s show. Firstly, ‘legacy’ is on the lips. What permanent impact can Elis and John leave?

Secondly, what can help achieve Project 2032 and allow John to retire in just 7 years?

Finally, Dave just wants to create some vaguely entertaining content and keep John busy.

The proposed options are numerous to reach the above goals. Well, everything from pottery and doing a food safety certificate. Can any of the ideas achieve all three? Absolutely not. Not even the tantalising prospect of a thousand lovely ladies or John Robins: Deal Dog.

Speaking of deal dogs, there’s a Made Up Game which lasts as long as an episode of Eastenders and really gets JR's juices flowing - Elis is also there. Also expect Elis’s questioning to be questioned... once again.

Got any suggestions for things that John could do? Well send them to [email protected] or WhatsApp them in on 07974 293 022.

0:25.2	give it a go myself, which to cut a long story short led to a BBC training scheme and a whole
0:30.0	new career giving other people that exact same feeling. So if you want to hear amazing stories
0:34.2	that make you go wow like I did, they're just a tap or click away on BBC Sounds.

1:08.0	We had a production meeting last week which became fraught with different visions
1:11.6	for the show. John, as usual, was forthright in his opinions. We have to think about legacy,
1:18.7	he kept shouting. The insta stories were putting out to great, but are we brave, are we kind,
1:22.8	are we curious? Hmm, said Dave, as he sipped thoughtfully from his Kings of Leon mug.
1:32.3	I don't know, really.
1:33.3	Last week you just talked a lot about Poirot.
1:35.3	This is what I'm saying, John continued.
1:38.3	Legacy.
1:39.3	I'm worried that our show is more concerned with the past than the future.
1:43.3	As I talked about Poirot, I could feel young listeners switching off.
1:48.2	Look at Izzy in the studio, for God's sake.
