Summary

Paul Hawksbee and Andy Jacobs are back in the studio for another podcast of sporting chaos, joined by a heavyweight lineup of guests from the worlds of football and strength sports.


We kick things off with journalist and Brighton local Nick Szczepanik, who gives us the definitive fan’s-eye view on the Roberto De Zerbi era.


Then, former Chelsea and Leeds defender Michael Duberry stops by to pull no punches on his old clubs. "Dubes" explains why he believes Chelsea’s season is effectively over and weighs in on the current state of affairs at Elland Road.


We are honored to be joined in person by Meg Robson-Austin, the reigning World’s Strongest Woman. Meg shares the incredible story of her rise to the top of the podium, the reality of elite strength training, and what it’s like to be the most powerful woman on the planet.


Finally, with England facing a clinical Japanese side, we talk to Japanese football expert Alan Gibson. He gives us the lowdown on the "Samurai Blue," which players the Three Lions need to fear, and why Japan is becoming a global powerhouse in the modern game.
