The pod starts well with the usual dip into a whisky and a wine, but Graham gets apoplectic about restaurant wine-list  cheating and thereafter loses the plot completely when he talks about the TV series called Beef, but really means the series called The Bear, which, just to add to confusion, runs a lunch shop called “The Beef”. Who can blame him – the first two letters are the same after all…….ANYWAY, the important thing is that the BEST single episode of TV EVER is Episode 7, Series 5, of The Bear (….or was it Beef?)

Jack gets it back on an even keel by not confusing The Woman in the Wall with The Woman in the Window.

 There is more World Cup, but its thinning out with only the semi-finals to come (spoiler alert – neither Scotland or Australia are still in it).

We listen to new releases from two groups who are old enough to know better, and a podcast about someone whose career success we are claiming.
