Summary

Broadcaster Eleanor Oldroyd, former England rugby player Shaunagh Brown, sports presenter Aaron Paul and comedian Josh James join Rick Edwards for an hour of sporting punditry, humour and entertainment. Points are awarded for informed comment, wit and passion, but taken away for nonsense and answers lacking in conviction.

In the final round, the top two points scorers go head-to-head in 'Defend the Indefensible' where they must both defend a statement however ludicrous or distasteful for twenty seconds. There can only be one winner!

0:00.0	Before you listen to this BBC podcast I want to tell you why I love podcasting.
0:04.6	Hi my name's Tommy Dixon and I make podcast for the BBC. I'm a big fan of stories
0:09.8	always loved a good book but when I started commuting for my first job, I discovered
0:14.0	podcasts. I was blown away about how a creative idea and the right mixture of sounds
0:18.6	could take you into a whole new world full of incredible stories. You know, the type that

1:08.5	listeners that as a show we informed Five Live this week that we will be leaving at the end of the season and our representatives have been talking to and I hope this isn't too in discreet
1:18.9	Real Madrid.
1:20.9	Madrid were I mean they were nonplussed actually and they kept saying things like,
1:25.0	why on earth will we sign a parochial British podcast? We're Raoul Madrid.
1:28.0	We don't need your chala delutcha.
1:30.0	So we've now gone back to Five Live and said that we were joking and ahead of the network just sent a
1:36.4	caps lock email which reads, so I look, good luck in Spain and that that is actually how we've left it. Let's not dwell on that though
1:44.4	who is on this weekend making a staggering 95th appearance on this day six years ago she
1:50.6	interrupted the show with live coverage of speed skating from the Winter Olympics
