About this episode

Jules, Luke and Jim convene at Ramble HQ with just one more sleep before the most exciting day of the year: the World Cup 3rd/4th play-off!


We hear your suggestions for replacing this fixture - including an Gianni Infantino vs Florentino Perez pillow fight. Speaking of which, Gianni’s been in front of the mic again and we re-launch a competition of our own: it’s Moore vs Breach in Jack’s Encyclopaedia!
