Chris, Tom and GRO bring you immediate reaction to the draw for the 2027 World Cup. England and Wales meet in Pool F while we can look forward to another instalment of the 'Tom English derby' as Scotland and Ireland were drawn together for the third World Cup in a row! But which team is the bigger winner from the draw down under? If South Africa are to deliver the three-peat they will have to do it the hard way - but would another Springbok win actually be good for the game? Tom gets all misty-eyed about French players we've never heard of as we imagine just how special a French World Cup win would be.

Justice Secretary David Lammy has announced plans for a sweeping range of reforms to criminal courts in England and Wales. The proposals include scrapping jury trials for cases where sentences are likely to be less than three years and for trials involving ‘particularly technical and lengthy fraud and financial offences'. They will only be kept for the most serious offences, including murder, robbery and rape. However there are fears that the proposed changes will have a disproportionate impact on women, whether as victims or when accused of a crime and then particularly for women of colour. Nuala McGovern discusses the reforms with Fiona Rutherford, Chief Executive of legal reform charity Justice, barrister Emma Torr, Co-chief of Appeal, a law practice dedicated to challenging wrongful convictions, and Val Castell, Deputy National Chair of the Magistrates' Association. A petition has been launched calling for a national endometriosis registry to track and audit data on diagnosis, treatment and surgery outcomes. It's been spearheaded by Jessica Smith, who, like an estimated one and a half million women in the UK, suffers with endometriosis, a condition which occurs when the tissue, similar to the lining of the uterus, grows in other places, such as the ovaries and the fallopian tubes. Campaigners say the level of care is a post code lottery, with long wait lists and that by streamlining this information some of the gaps in care could be eliminated. Jessica joins Nuala along with Professor Ranee Thakar, President of the Royal College of Gynaecologists and Obstetricians.The Women's Institute has announced a big change - from next April it will no longer offer membership to transgender women. The UK Supreme Court earlier this year ruled that the legal definition of a woman can only be based on biological sex. This comes the day after it was announced that transgender girls can no longer join the Girl Guides, Brownies or Rainbows. The Women's Institute says it's decision comes with the ‘utmost regret.' Melissa Green, Chief Executive of the National Federation of Women's Institutes explains why they came to this decision. The BBC's political correspondent Phil Sim gives the background.Do you like everything to be perfect for Christmas dinner party hosting – the spotless house, the elaborate menu, the Instagram-worthy table setting? But what if the secret to a great dinner party isn't perfection, but scruffy hosting – a trend that is apparently transforming the way we gather together and makes stress-free dinner parties more attainable - perhaps a one-pot dinner, mismatched cutlery, toys under the table or children running around screaming. Helen Thorn, Comedian, Podcaster and one half of Scummy Mummies tells Nuala why she embraces this type of hosting. Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Andrea Kidd

Meghan Markle's holiday Netflix special, With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration, drops today – complete with crafts, cookies, cameos and a blink-and-you'll-miss-it Harry kitchen kiss – but critics say this Christmas outing may be a make-or-break test for her brand. We look at the guest list, the Archewell spin, and fresh reports that Netflix and WME see the coming year as crucial as Meghan lines up brief on-screen cameos to boost As Ever. Then we turn to Windsor, where the German President's state visit puts the Prince and Princess of Wales front and centre once again, fuelling new talk of how differently the Wales and Sussex households are now positioning themselves on the world stage.Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

Criminal cases in England and Wales where a prison sentence is likely to be less than three years will be heard by a judge, not a jury, under plans from justice secretary David Lammy. Would it help reduce the backlog in courts? Or could it be purely to save money? Alexandra Topping joins Lucy Hough. Help support our independent journalism at theguardian.com/infocus

The Emma Rice Company's adaptation of Dylan Thomas' A Child's Christmas in Wales opened last week to rave reviews. Hannah grabbed some time with its founder, writer and director Emma Rice, to talk about a change of name, a new venue in Somerset, and Thomas. And a lot more besides, including Emma's time as artistic director at The Globe, something that did not end happily, and why she thinks we're all being a bit hard on Enid Blyton.

David Lammy has announced serious crimes likely to lead to a prison sentence of less than three years will now be decided by a judge alone. Also: A report into the Hillsborough disaster says twelve police officers would have faced gross misconduct proceedings if they hadn't retired. And the Girlguiding organisation says trans girls and young women will no longer be allowed to join as new members.

Prince William is reportedly set to avoid Christmas lunch with the King for the third year running, as insiders insist there's “no controversy”—just a difficult year for the Waleses. Meanwhile, Kate's interior design eye is on full display as Forest Lodge takes shape, complete with a dining table big enough for 24. But holiday harmony hits a snag when Charles pushes plans for a two-million-gallon manure lagoon near Anmer Hall, leaving locals—and likely the Waleses—holding their noses. We preview a packed week of royal duties, from William's tech stop to the German state visit to Kate's Christmas carol service. Plus: William's “better wife” quip in Wales, his surprise pub lunch (and £25 tip), and King Charles finally stripping Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor of his last remaining honours as Tina Brown reveals the palace's fears about what Andrew might do next.Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

The UK has temporarily banned all imports of pig products from Spain afrer an outbreak of African Swine Fever in wild boars there. It's their first case since 1994. The disease is spread by ticks and can be devastating to commercial herds. The National Pig Association here says it's vital our government puts adequate controls at borders to keep the disease out. Northern Ireland has had its first case of bluetongue, in County Down. The government has introduced a 20km restriction zone to control the spread. There have been around 200 cases in England and Wales this year, though none in Scotland. A farmer is calling on the Scottish Government to fund a multi-million pound dairy development programme, which would encourage farmers to keep cows with their newborn calves for longer. David Finlay has been pioneering the unconventional system on his farm near Kirkcudbright - which is now the largest commercial 'cow-with-calf' dairy in Europe. And all this week we're looking at the jobs farmers need to do over winter - today, cleaning up ready for next season. Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Sally Challoner.

HELP SUPPORT US AS WE DOCUMENT HISTORY HERE: https://gogetfunding.com/help-keep-wam-alive/# Josh Sigurdson reports on the insane anti-free speech laws in the UK and where this is actually leading which most are conveniently missing. Recently, a man was arrested for posting a photo of himself holding a gun while on vacation at a private range in Florida. On return to the UK, he was questioned and eventually arrested. This is one of what seems like thousands of examples of people being arrested for extremely tame things. A comedian was recently arrested at London Heathrow Airport for a joke he made on social media. A family was arrested and imprisoned for having music deemed "extreme" on their devices. People are being arrested and put in jail for silently praying in public in England and Wales. Pro Palestine activists are being arrested simply for holding flags. 30 people are arrested a day in the UK for things as simple as retweets, liking posts, saying words, etc. Tucker Carlson recently famously challenged Piers Morgan to say a word people have been jailed over recently in the UK. Alongside the insane internet IDs and Ofcom laws, all semblance of free speech seems to be getting erased in the UK. Even BitChute was forced to leave the UK due to online speech laws. If you want to destroy a society, weaken them. Demoralize them. Make them feel as though they have no say outside of the political beast system. This all leads to the ultimate form of censorship. The digital ID system. Total technocratic control. The 15 Minute Cities are already in place in the UK in places such as Oxford which we have reported on on the ground. The new mandated digital ID is exactly what we've been warning about. Keir Starmer insists the digital ID is voluntary, but he also say that if you don't have one, you won't be able to participate in normal society. This is a threat. With RealID in the United States, the new biometric ID system in Mexico, Australia's digital ID system, the EU's digital ID system and the rollout in Canada among countless other countries, there's no coincidence that this is happening worldwide simultaneously. First, they must silence you. Then they can completely control every decision you make while watching you 24/7. Then they can control what food you eat. This isn't a matter of theory. This is what they say they are doing. Are you prepared? Stay tuned for more from WAM!

In this lecture, Mark Taubert, who chairs the national DNACPR policy for Wales, and is a palliative care clinician, reviews current practices. He will encourage you to consider your own end of life care advance care plan, and attempt to write down your prior wishes. He reviews recent concerns, scandals and media outputs and looks at current resuscitation policies, guidelines and resources. He also discusses, from a clinician's point of view, how the prospect of a natural, anticipated and accepted death in the near future can be a trigger to better advance care planning. Furthermore, he looks at online conspiracy theories, and poor Covid-19 clinical practice, and outlines resources such as the Welsh TalkCPR videos, that can help improve communication in an area rife with misconceptions and misunderstanding.This lecture was recorded by Mark Taubert on the 5th of November 2025 at Bernard's Inn Hall, LondonProfessor Mark Taubert is a UK hospital consultant and clinical director at Velindre University NHS Trust in Cardiff. He is Vice-President of the Brussels-based European Association for Palliative Care (EAPC), a non-governmental organisation dedicated to worldwide improvement in palliative care. His Cardiff University academic activities include advance care planning and new media in medical settings. He is the founder of TalkCPR.com and chairs the national Future Care Planning strategy group for NHS Wales. He has advised UK government on matters relating to palliative care, treatment escalation decisions, and the last years of life. Public engagement efforts include numerous BBC programmes and a Ted Talk on how we use and misuse language in healthcare settings. He also writes for international news outlets like the Washington Post, Newsweek, the Spectator and the Guardian. The transcript of the lecture is available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/dnr-formsGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

The UK Government has announced plans to restrict the right to a jury trial in England and Wales to solve a backlog of 80,000 cases. Serious crimes like murder and rape will continue to be sent to jury trial, but minor crimes like shoplifting will be dealt with directly by a judge or magistrate. UK Correspondent Edna Brady has seen the need for reform first hand. "I've spent three decades going to court cases all over the UK and it never has ceased to stagger me. The inefficiency, the delays, just how slow everything is," she told Heather du Plessis-Allan. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Laura is joined by Clare Laxton, creator and host of Killer in the Family podcast. Together, they take a deep dive into profiling family annihilators, coercive control, stalking, highlighting the risk factors to look out for, exploring how these crimes are interconnected, and often preceded by clear warning signs that are too frequently missed, and challenge false narratives and defenses killers concoct.  Laura and Clare reflect on the 10-year anniversary of their work together campaigning for coercive control law reform in England and Wales - landmark change that has saved countless lives and reshaped the criminal justice response to domestic abuse and also discuss the how and why the change was needed.  This powerful conversation explores both the professional and personal drive behind their advocacy, the systemic challenges that remain, and what must still be done to protect women and children from dangerous offenders hiding in plain sight #CrimeAnalyst #HighRisk #Entitlement #CoerciveControl #FamilyAnnihilator #KillerInTheFamily #MaleViolence #DomesticAbuse #DomesticHomicide #WomenMatter  #Expert #Analysis #Behaviour #TrueCrime #Podcast    Clips  https://dai.ly/x5xtlsw  Sources   Crime Analyst Podcast  Killer in the Family Podcast on Spotify Killer In The Family | Podcast on Spotify    More from Clare   @KillerInTheFamilyPod Instagram  Killer in the Family Podcast website ART19  Killer in the Family Podcast on Spotify Killer In The Family | Podcast on Spotify  Killer in the Family Podcast on Apple Killer In The Family - Podcast - Apple Podcasts    Thank You to Crime Analyst Sponsors Who Make the Show Possible.

Danny, Ashy and Chris dissect another dismal day for Wales as they end 2025 with a record home defeat. How much would the young Welsh players actually have learned from their 73-0 defeat to South Africa? We also discuss Eben Etzebeth's red card for the eye gouge on Alex Mann that took the shine off another dominant Springboks win. We look at the return of the Prem and debate whether it's easier than ever to score tries in the league. Will we see Benhard Janse van Rensburg in an England shirt in the near future? There is another setback for R360 and we look ahead to Wednesday's World Cup draw.

In the closing decades of the nineteenth century, Wales was a nation on the move. Between 1880 and 1900, hundreds of thousands of people either left Welsh shores for opportunities abroad or arrived to seek work in the booming industrial valleys. This movement of people, both outward and inward, would reshape the population, language, and social character of Wales in profound ways.

You know Dasher, and Dancer, and Prancer, and Vixen.  Santa, and Frosty, and Rudolph, and Dickens.  But do you know? The Alluring Dark Spirits of old?   In this episode, you can meet three of the Dark Spirits of the Christmas with my guest Tania Yager. Tania is the author of the book The Allure of the Dark Spirits (which will be available Dec. 5, 2025 on Lulu). We talk about the process of getting the book written and about the three topics of the book: Krampus, La Befana, and the Mari Lwyd. The book "is a whimsical, bombastic, and deeply heartfelt journey into the shadowy magic of winter folklore. Part memoir, part shamanic exploration, and part folklore celebration, Yager invites readers to walk beside her as she meets the Alpine Krampus in the snowy streets of Munich, seeks out the Italian witch La Befana, and revisits her own bittersweet ties to Wales through the ghostly Mari Lwyd." We had a great discussion (one of the longer I've done) talking about her journey and about the spirits.  The book will be available for order on Dec. 5, 2025 (Krampusnacht) in time for the holiday season. A gift for yourself and that special friend in your life who also enjoys the spirits of winter.  This is a longer episode, so here is a bit of a show flow: 0:00:00 Introduction and background of Tania and developing the book 0:35:28 Frau Perchta/Frau Holle 0:47:33 Krampus 1:02:00 La Befana 1:11:20 Mari Lwyd - Mari Beast 1:37:56 New Projects, closing   Yager is a multifaceted visual/ performance artist, writer, holistic educator, and shamanic practitioner.

Gareth Rhys Owen, Lauren Salter and former Wales internationals Ian Gough and James Hook react to a record home defeat for Wales. World champions South Africa scored 73 unanswered points as Wales suffered their heaviest ever defeat in Cardiff.

On this episode of DEEP TROUBLE… two motorcyclists head to mid-Wales for a weekend of trail riding on the historic Strata Florida. It's November, it's wet, and Strata Florida is known for its water crossings. The plan is simple — get out, ride the lanes, and finally tick this legendary trail off the list. But as you'll hear, conditions in the Welsh hills can change fast… and what starts as a straightforward ride quickly becomes something far more serious.

In this episode, we explore the influence of Wales and Welsh immigrants on the Declaration of Independence with two expert guests from the University of Cardiff, Dr. Marion Loeffler and Dr. Huw Williams. Topics include: -the importance of preserving and expanding Welsh language and identity in the present -an exploration of Welsh identity in the 1700s -the tradition of Welsh religious dissenters which meshed with political non-conformity -economic and political similarities and differences between Wales and Ireland in the 1700s -confusions and conflations between English and Welsh identity -an introduction to the Welsh philosopher Richard Price and his influence on Patriot political theory -his pamphlet, Observations on Civil Liberty, which was published in Philadelphia the same week as the Declaration of Independence -implications of both the French Revolution and the American Revolution for Wales -differences between Price and the radical Welsh dissenter Morgan John Rhys, who founded the utopian Welsh colony of Cambria in Pennsylvania in 1794

The government could soon come close to scrapping the right to trial by jury, it's been revealed, with Justice Secretary David Lammy proposing to massively restrict this ancient right, as the criminal justice system is on the verge of collapse. There are plans to create a new tier of courts in England and Wales, removing guarantees to a jury trial for all except those accused of the most serious crimes. But could this still result in a fair trial? The Standard's Courts Correspondent Tristan Kirk joins us to discuss why the jury system is a treasured and historic commodity that fosters a level of trust in our courts. Hosted on Acast.

Pan started as a shepherds' god in a wild and backward area of Greece, but became one of the best-known in the Greek and Roman world. This was partly because the leading city of Athens imported him as a saviour, and partly because he came to represent the freedom, peace and simplicity of the countryside to urban people. He was the most earthy of Greek deities, summing up wild nature in its beauty but also its danger. He was a god of both liberation and menace, and this lecture faces up to him as both.This lecture was recorded by Professor Ronald Hutton on the 17th of September 2025 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London.Professor Hutton is Professor of History at the University of Bristol. He took degrees at Cambridge and then Oxford Universities, and was a fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford. He is now a Fellow of the British Academy, the Royal Historical Society, the Society of Antiquaries and the Learned Society of Wales, and has won awards for teaching and research.He has lectured all over the world, authored twenty books and ninety-six essays, appeared in or presented scores of television and radio programmes, and sits on the editorial boards of six journals concerned with the history of religion and magic.He is currently working on the third volume of his biography of Oliver Cromwell. The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/god-panGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

In November 2001, a crime unlike anything North Wales had seen before shattered the quiet Isle of Anglesey. Inside her cosy bungalow, 90-year-old Mabel Leyshon was discovered murdered in circumstances so disturbing that even veteran detectives struggled to comprehend what they had found.What unfolded next became one of Wales's most unsettling investigations: a bizarre crime scene, an urgent public appeal, and a growing sense of fear within a community that had always felt safe. As rumours spread and national media descended, two questions dominated every conversation: Who could have done this - and why?Exclusive content:Patreon - Ad Free, Early Access, Exclusive EpisodesFollow the show:YouTubeInstagramFacebookTikTokWebsiteDisclaimer:The case discussed in this podcast episode is real and represents the worst day in many people's lives.

On this special episode recorded live at the CIPP's (Chartered Institute of Payroll Professionals) Annual Conference and Exhibition (CIPP ACE) in Newport, Wales, Pete sits down with Ian Giles, Global Payroll Director at Dayforce, for a high-energy conversation on the “golden age of payroll!” From the rise of AI to the rebirth of real-time pay, Ian shares his view from the front lines of global payroll transformation, where technology, trust, and talent are redefining what it means to lead in this profession. Together, they explore how AI is reshaping payroll roles, why flexibility is the new currency of attraction, and how earned-wage access and continuous calculation are accelerating the move beyond the traditional pay cycle. Ian also offers candid advice for payroll leaders on building strategic influence, restoring trust, and embracing innovation before they're left behind.

It's Wednesday, November 26th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  Written by Jonathan Clark.  Filling in for Adam McManus I'm Ean Leppin. (Contact@eanvoiceit.com) Christian Institute Proposed Street Preacher Charter. Officials in the U.K. are increasingly targeting Christians who express their faith in public. In response, the Christian Institute launched its new “Street Preacher's Charter” in Parliament last week. The document defends the rights of street preachers in England and Wales. The wrongful arrest of a Scottish preacher in 2022 inspired the charter. Mike Judge, a trustee of The Christian Institute, said, “This Charter is a timely shield for those who dare to speak — and a timely corrective for a society tempted to silence them.” U.K. Street Preacher Acquitted A jury in the U.K. acquitted a street preacher recently. The case began after a Muslim family reported street preacher Shaun O'Sullivan to authorities. Officials charged him with religiously aggravated intentional harassment. However, O'Sullivan testified in court that he simply preaches the Gospel in public after being saved from a life of crime and violence. Andrea Williams with the Christian Legal Centre said, “This was another example of police overreach . . . The acquittal is . . . a reminder of the fragile state of fundamental freedoms in our country right now.” When commanded not to preach, the apostles said in Acts 4:19-20, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge. For we cannot but speak about the things which we have seen and heard.” Christian Universities to Launch Outreach to Europe One of the largest Christian universities in the United States is launching outreach to Europe to counter the rise of secularism there. Liberty University of Lynchburg, Virginia is now offering over 600 online degrees to students in Europe.  Lucian Mustata is Liberty's European representative for the project. He told Christian Daily International, “we need to invest in the next generation. In the long term, secularism grows in Europe because we're not investing in teenagers and the next generation with Christian values. It's very important to have Christian education in Europe.” Trump Designates the Muslim Brotherhood as Terrorist Organization On Monday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to designate certain chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood as foreign terrorist organizations.  The organization was founded in 1928 with chapters across the Middle East. Last week, Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott similarly designated the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. He said the goal of the group is to “forcibly impose Sharia law . . . These radical extremists are not welcome in our state and are now prohibited from acquiring any real property interest in Texas.”  This coming on the heels of a report released called The Muslim Brotherhood Strategic Entryism into the United States.  Chris Mitchell from CBN News has more concerning this report. MITCHELL: “And what it does, and why this is so significant – it exposes a generational strategy to impose Shariah Law on the United States. They call it “a civilizational struggle,” and it's based on four pillars. One is influencing public policy. Two, influencing legal strategies, and what that tries to do is minimize criticism of Islam and turn that into charges of Islamphobia and charges of discrimination. Number three is infiltration of institutions – charities, universities, schools, and even to influence Middle East studies in those universities. And, four is to control the narrative through the medium, to shake the public debate. A key issue in this is the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. We've heard charges of Palestine, from the river to the sea, globalize the Intifadah. That puts it in context, is what they're trying to do is just influence media, the society, and then just introduce, in a gradual way, Shariah Law.” Planned Parenthood Forced to Shut Down Centers Due to Financial Strain Planned Parenthood announced yesterday it is closing one of its locations in Ohio. The abortion giant has now closed 45 centers so far this year. Many closures are due to the Trump administration's support for defunding abortion providers. A recent report from Planned Parenthood admits, “Already buckling under immense financial strain due to our country's frayed and underfunded public health system, Planned Parenthood health centers across the country are being pushed to the brink.” New Survey Concerning the Understanding of Salvation is Released by Barna Dr. George Barna released his latest research on the worldview of Americans. The survey found most U.S. adults say eternal salvation demands a blend of works and grace. For example, one-third of Americans who call themselves “born-again” believe good people can earn salvation. And nearly half of Americans believe they will earn their way into Heaven by being generally good or doing enough good deeds. Dr. Barna noted, “There remains a shocking degree of misunderstanding among Christians regarding sin, repentance, forgiveness, and salvation.” Ephesians 2:8-9 says, “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” Bible Sales Surge This Year And finally, mainstream media outlets are noting this year's surge in Bible sales. The Associated Press reports Americans have purchased over 18 million Bibles this year.  Brenna Connor with Circana BookScan told Religion News Service, “Sales for Bibles have been steadily growing in the U.S. since 2021 and have set unprecedented annual sales records since 2022. 2024 marked a 20-year high for Bible sales in the U.S., and 2025 is on track to surpass these levels, underscoring the growing interest in religious content among U.S. consumers.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, November 26th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

They start with the recent comments made by Texas artist BigXThaPlug and how he feels he's more than a rapper, he's an "artist". The Bros talk about why Rappers don't already feel like artists and why they suddenly do when they switch lanes. The speak on Wales potent album drop from this past week and talk about how the new X location feature shed some light on vultures within not only the culture, but people all over X being exposed for living in areas completely different the culture they allow themselves to exist in and speak on. This is followed by a good prediction from Terrell on how this will impact social media/X going forward. Next, the Bros talk about Sheduer Sanders first NFL start and how well it went, despite some rookie follies. Most importantly, they speak on the team and media's response to Sheduer's confidence post-game and how his confidence has clearly made people love him and STILL continues to get under some people's skin. The Bros rank the Top 5 Best Black Directors, they speak on the Xbox 360 turning 20 years old and how that console changed a lot for gaming, and also speak on SCARY MOVIE 6 wrapping filming and if that movie can live up to the greatness of the franchises first couple films. Lastly, the last part of the pod is the Bros reflecting on some of their favorite literature both Books and Screenplays. Take notes because they deliver some solid recommendations!

In this special Terrified Together collaboration with our friends Dave and Sarge from Cryptid Cocktail Party, we share two intense listener-submitted encounters that blur the line between tragedy and the paranormal. Our first story involves Levi's harrowing story from Wales, where a routine Costco trip turned into a real-life Final Destination moment when scaffolding from an unsecured truck pierced through their windshield on Junction 28. The pole sliced between Levi and their sister, leaving Levi with a gashed arm but somehow sparing both their lives in what felt like an impossible near-miss. Then, we jump into Jeanette's unsettling experience from Connecticut in 2016, when she stayed late after soccer practice and made the mistake of walking back to the practice field alone in the dark to retrieve her forgotten phone and purse. What started as an eerie feeling of being watched escalated when a young boy came running toward her in the empty parking lot, eventually asking "can I come with you?" in a way that left Jeanette deeply uncomfortable. Though she mumbled agreement while considering the "good karma" for an upcoming game, the unremarkable boy vanished the instant she turned toward her car—and that's when things got worse at home.

Four happy men in the studio this week after a blockbuster weekend of Quilter Nations rugby. England made it 11 wins on the bounce despite late fireworks in their clash with Argentina, Jim's beloved Scotland stuck a half-century on Tonga without conceding a point, and Wales showed real ticker in a brave performance against the All Blacks. But the headline act was in Dublin, where South Africa and Ireland produced one of the craziest Test matches we've ever seen – five yellows, a red, scrum carnage, psychological warfare from Rassie, and Irish fans and Boks fans going at it online. The lads break down the madness, look at England's growing depth and midfield options, debate the Curry–Contepomi tunnel drama, assess Wales' best showing of the autumn, dig into Scotland's momentum and Townsend rumours, and ask whether France now boast the best young backline in world rugby.
