Alex Moss and Burton DeWitt are back with a new episode ahead of the PDC World Cup of Darts! The boys start this week's show with a look ahead to the PDC World Cup of Darts, which starts in Frankfurt on Thursday night. Alex and Burton discuss which teams will pose the biggest threat to pre-tournament favourites England, who line up with the world numbers one and two, Luke Humphries and Luke Littler, for the first time, and also pick out their darkhorses away from the top four seeded nations. Paul Lim (16:23) calls in from Japan ahead of his latest trip overseas to play on the PDC big stage this week. The former Weekly Dartscast Legend of the Year reflects on his incredible run to the final of the WDF Men's World Championship at Lakeside last December, and discusses being in contention for two World Championships this year, teaming up with a new partner for Singapore at the PDC World Cup this week, and his former partner Harith Lim's goal to return to the team in 2026. Alex and Burton then continue their World Cup preview by making their predictions for who will lift the Co Stompe Trophy on Sunday night, before delving into last weekend's Women's Series action and giving their thoughts on the confirmed line up for the Women's World Matchplay next month. Rusty-Jake Rodriguez (52:18) joins the show ahead of making his PDC World Cup debut with Austria this week. The former European Development Tour Order of Merit winner looks back on the last few years, including why he felt he was not able to push on with a tour card after a breakout 2021 campaign, deciding to take a 'gap year' from darts for most of 2024, winning back his tour card at Q-School this year, and wanting to go one step further than his older brother Rowby-John did with Mensur Suljovic at the World Cup this week.
