Great laugh, love the humour (and TV recommendations) as a Brit living in the States a weekly dose of British chat is just what’s required at the moment 👍
Favourite “rugby” pod out there, keep up the pub chat as it’s a relief from the competitors. Stick to BBQ Shanks, you’re better than reading click bait headlines
Love the podcast, offers a much needed opportunity to get away from all the nonsense going on in the world and in rugby.
Gents, any chance of a pod? Been too long. X
It is a shame but I will be unsubscribing now. I get that things have fallen apart because the STR thing didn’t work, but the opening discussion about whether 100 guys could kill a gorilla I found completely bizarre and unfunny, and not what I would choose to listen to. Such a shame, you are a great pair of guys but somehow you have lost your way.
