🎾 There is a very real possibility that one of the world's greatest tennis players is listening to this podcast right now, as an anonymous listener gives us an incredible tip off.

🛫 Ben’s still off so our favourite Yorkshire duo of Jack and Colson continue their stint. It’s free for all Friday so the boys have gone completely off topic. If they could have any job at an airport, what would it be?


Jack’s on a mission to get free stuff. Will Haribo send him any Starmix? Plus, Colson’s been Click and Collecting at Argos, but what has he bought?

🎭 Ben’s away so it’s the Yorkshire duo of Jack and Colson this week. Speaking of Yorkshire, Colson’s done his first show for BBC Local Radio, which included chat about costume, wigs and props. He's now contemplating purchasing a beanstalk from Jack and The Beanstalk.


🪑 Speaking of Jack, there’s another wedding update from the groom-to-be, including his top tips on seating plans.

⛱️ One more outing for Jack and Ben as a duo and as a result it remains rudderless. They still feel lost whilst Colson is apparently off having his face entirely reconstructed out of the parts of different celebrities (he’s on holiday).


There’s also big news about Jack’s honeymoon. He’s booking out an entire country. Plus there’s an interesting insight into prop family photos and we tell you how to pass the pod at the carnival.

Colson’s off on his hols and the boys are treading water without him. Without Radio Yorkshire’s guiding hand on the running order they’re flailing.
