·1 hr 43 min·5 clips
A guest reveals his son showed him a 'fucking embarrassing' review of his restaurant's granola and rolling snarler.
The episode opens with chaotic banter introducing a guest and joking about a restaurant review. The hosts quickly pivot to the SPFL title race, debating if Hearts have their best-ever chance to win the league, with Simon Ferry arguing strongly for it. A segment on personal 'icks'—quirky turn-offs—provides comic relief, featuring examples like knuckle-cracking and Louis Vuitton bags. The panel then ranks five Scottish midfielders: Steve Davis, Paul Lambert, Scott Brown, Barry Ferguson, and Callum McGregor, sparking heated debate over eras and achievements. Football analysis resumes, focusing on Hearts' 2-2 draw, their title pressure, and key players like Lawrence Shankland and Jorge Grant. Celtic and Rangers are scrutinized, with discussions on squad depth, injuries, and managerial impacts. The episode covers lower-league topics, including Ross County's relegation battle and Falkirk's style under John McGlynn. Sponsorship segments for betting partner SBK and Golf Clubs for Cash are integrated. The show concludes with reflections on the season's excitement and predictions for the run-in, recorded at a Glasgow venue set for World Cup fan zones.
