Summary

Paul Hawksbee and Andy Jacobs are back in the studio to pick through the remains of another chaotic evening of football, following Chelsea’s surprising defeat to Nottingham Forest, Andy is in full "concerned fan" mode, offering a passionate and animated reaction to his team’s latest performance.


The energy shifts from the pitch to the page as we welcome Felix White to the show. The Maccabees guitarist joins the boys to share the stories behind his highly anticipated new book, It’ll Be What It’ll Be, which officially lands this Thursday. It is a fantastic look at life, music, and the creative process from one of the industry's most genuine voices.


We also celebrate a massive show first with the arrival of a true world-beater. Hayley McCauley, the Flat Pack World Champion, joins us to talk about her unique skill set. She shares the secrets of high-speed furniture assembly and what it takes to reach the top of the competitive world of wardrobes and sideboards without losing a single screw.


To round things out, we get a dose of sporting history and drama with actor and writer Aaron Julius. He chats about the incredible experience of stepping into the shoes of the legendary John Conteh for his new play, bringing the charisma and grit of the boxing icon to life for a new generation.
