S8 Ep195: CONCLUSION
Just how bad was Wire’s performance at Old Trafford? Strap in, because Rob still hasn’t quite calmed down, Sam hasn’t got a caveat left to offer and Dennis has pretty much lost the will to pod.

S8 Ep193: WHAT CLASSIFIES AS A FISTING?
Warrington’s brilliant performance puts them one game away from Old Trafford, so with the podcast in Oktoberfest high spirits, Sam bags himself another Simon, Dennis whistles to the tune of the referees and Rob’s plant-based buffet on an atoll leads to him questioning why Leon Hayes is only 19 centimetres higher than a buffering BBC presenter’s grassy knoll. www.patreon.com/whatbevan

S8 Ep191: DUNGEON ALBANIAN GARDENERS
Three wins in nine days, although, more importantly, has Sam Sankey bought his villa in France?

Yes, following two 40-plus wins against two shit teams, the podcast returns. So, has Dennis turned into Dustin Hoffman? Why does Rob have a blistered ball sack? And can Sam backwash his septic tank? Strap in for 90 minutes of utter bollocks as the podders conclude that yet another season will come down to just three games. Plus, the sitcom embraces Pride Week and there’s London’s all-time Wire XIII. Enjoy. www.patreon.com/whatbevan
