We somehow end up talking about the Strait of Hormuz having Google reviews, what guava actually is, and then move into real life stories — from football injuries and near misses, to unbelievable food at Hickory’s Smokehouse.

There’s also a genuinely scary moment involving a dog and a river, plus one of Ron’s most embarrassing childhood swimming stories. We round things off with nostalgia about growing up, lying as kids, getting our first TVs, and predictions for the 2026 World Cup and Grand National.
