We start off intending to celebrate the Bont, but somehow take a left turn and end up talking about Rory Lobb (don't worry, we get back to Bont later).

Terry is just as thoughtful and insightful as he appears, but seems as baffled as anyone about what is going wrong at th...

Wil and Charlie's dreams comes true when a box arrives in the studio. It creates the ultimate crack that box, followed by a ranking to end all rankings. Their hard work has paid off, but will the high go to their heads (or stomachs). Then, a blast from the past. An old friend crashes the show to discuss their "jaunt". Wil has a problem with the word "jaunt". Then he tips over a wine glass full of water and almost kills the studio. ...

Charlie's message to suffering Saints fans is plagued with technical issues, making it an apt metaphor for their season.

The right to make your own Biscoff biscuit. Longtime fan asks advice on their final wor...
