Fighting talk
It’s full of fun
16th March episode
Best fighting talk episode Ive listened to in years, proper bickering and very funny, more Martin Bayfield please.
Rick finding his feet
Brilliant episode on 28/10, Rick has taken control and is very funny. Letting the guests breathe and has stopped them talking over each other.
