Jun 21, 2024•27 min•Season 6Ep. 135
S6 Ep134: LEE IN DUBAI
It's the day after Wire's disappointing Wembley performance and the podcast reflects on what went wrong. Dennis and Sam experience contrasting social echelons during their London days out, whilst Lee and Rob watch on from Dubai - with more toilet breaks than Warrington's points tally. Enjoy.

S6 Ep133: TOKYO POD
In a micro-pod fittingly live from Tokyo, Dennis, Sam and Rob discuss the win over Catalans, the loss to Wigan, a bit of news, and their cup final predictions. Enjoy.

S6 Ep132: I HIT RODRICK TAI WITH AN ALCOHOL FREE BOTTLE FROM 97 YARDS
Two more wins for Wire and a trip booked to Wembley but will Dennis bring the podcast vibe down with his misogynistic commentary? Sam refutes a free bar xenophobic accusation, as Rob questions a female BMW driver. That’s right, strap in, as the podcast digs a hole bigger than Ackers Pit as with “limited contact” and “no leg-ups” it teeters on the brink of being cancelled. Enjoy.

S6 Ep131: BOTH MATCHES WERE A BIT SHIT AND A FISHCAKE
The podcast fails to get excited about Wire’s two recent games, which leads to an episode of waffling. Dennis endeavours to charm a hermaphrodite, Sam launches into a Rodrick Tai bashing, and Rob would rather discuss the strippers at Wilderspool. Plus, Daniel’s back with his tenuous HJ alphabet and the sitcom is off for takeaway from the Stockton Fryer. Enjoy.

S6 Ep130: THATCHER, BURGESS, AND THE POSTMODERN PARADIGM: UNRAVELING THE INTRICACIES OF DESIGN, POLITICS, WILLIES, RONNIE CORBETT AND THE PERFORMANCE OF THE WARRINGTON WOLVES
The podcast celebrates its most positive episode in six years. Sam relaunches shitistics for the first time in 53 episodes, Dennis is all regattas & goths, and Rob totally forgets to mention his bang-on 80% prediction. Plus, Daniel returns with the most tenuous of tenuous alphabetical links, and the sitcom embraces a Shakespearian sausage or two. Enjoy.

S6 Ep129: TWO THOUSAND JELLY CUBES
The podcast reverts to a Sunday recording which makes everyone feel a little bit uncomfortable. Dennis decides to piggy-back off more than a Sky sport's subscription, Sam returns from a slow weekend in Cardiff lifting a heavy load of shitistics, and Rob carries on muddling up his words. There's a quiz that could take a while to set and Daniel resiliently protests from Queensland. Plus, as Burgess contemplates Kingy's World - the Wire team take to the Gladiator's travelator. Enjoy.

S6 Ep128: HOT WATER BOTTLE
The podcast takes an in-depth look into bursts, contacts and spillages. As we let off some steam towards the anatomy, and ask why are the shitistics significantly lopsided towards the winter months? So climb onboard, head to the top deck, and admire not one, but two, sightseeing tours of London. Enjoy.

S6 Ep127: THE BURGESS EFFECT
The Burgess effect is in full flow but is Jenna Brooks' interview technique affecting his coaching? The effect of Sam's new shitistic affects the podcast more than any other stat in the past two years. Dennis looks at whether the effects of aerodynamics on a haggis affects its throwing distance, and the effect of gravity on Rob's nipple is affecting his personal wellbeing. Plus, there's Daniel's JKL, a darts evening over at Hi De Hi, and just how much does a physically active Ewok weigh? Enjoy. ...

S6 Ep126: THE MASS OF PAUL VAUGHAN IN PICKLED ONIONS
Sam Burgess takes-off with his first win but our Sam touches-down with jet lag, resulting in a limited supply of shitistics. Dennis writes, wrote or has written to the RFL, as Rob makes an absolute pickle of the halftime quiz. Daniel is back with his tenuous alphabet and the sitcom takes on an Australian twang. Enjoy.

S6 Ep125: ALL WELL THAT ENDS WELL
Dennis continues to look for an alternative sport and comes under pressure from a quick fire quiz. With Sam making his way back from Melbourne, it’s left for Rob to spill the beans on Sankey’s irritable bowel following his surf lesson. The’s more Hi de hi, Daniel covers off an obscure D E and F at the Halliwell Jones and Roger Moore turns out to make the perfect fullback. Plus, with 673 players up in front of the match review panel, will any of them be actually left for round two? Enjoy. Due to ...

S6 Ep124: MAKE HAYES WHILE THE SUN SHINES
The podcast returns, and with Sam Burgess now behind the wheel of the Wire, can he steer them to victory before losing his licence? Sam packs his bags for Sydney, Rob shaves his bullocks and Dennis spends too much time measuring armpits. There's an A to Z of the Halliwell Jones, yet another 80's sitcom, predictions and a red or blue clusterfuck of a quiz. Enjoy.

S5 Ep123: A POWER STATION AND A FIDDLER'S PHONE-IN
The podcast attempts another phone-in but will the 'What would Brian Bevan say' firewall leak more than Warrington's left-edge defence? Sam has family bin issues, Dennis measures the altitude of Daresbury and Rob's concerned about the thermostat on Alan London's boiler. Plus there's a quiz. Cue the applause. Enjoy.

S5 Ep122: SAM BURGESS' EST EST EST HOME DELIVERY
What does the future hold for Sam Burgess, where will Wire finish the season, and is Mrs Sankey having an affair with a US Marine? With Dennis’ social calendar more congested than the Warrington vs Catalans fixture list, it’s left to Rob and Sam to cast their eye over the 2024 squad. Plus, is Jim Bergerac the answer to magic weekend, and has an impromptu call from Alan London solved the Wolves’ scrum half problem? Enjoy.

S5 Ep121: JANETTE KRANKIE
It's time for the autopsy with the podcast and its listeners (or is that listener) endeavouring to dissect another clusterfuck of a season. Sam enrols to become a Super League referee, Dennis sets to working on a title for his new 2024 section and Rob rallies with a south of the river broken arm. Enjoy, we'll see you all in February. Probably. Get through the bitter winter months by watching Tackle-vlogs and buying Dennis a coffee. www.youtube.com/@tacklebags/videos Want the podcast to return? T...

S5 Ep120: GOODBYE FOREVER
Wire make the elimination play-off but Dennis seems more worried about claiming travel expenses. Rob reminisces about his uncle who he believes is a clear replacement for Bill Arthur. Sam offers up his biggest ever caveat. Plus, the WhatBevan player of the year focusses on just ten nominations, Daniel names his season’s XII and the sitcom perfectly summarises the season. Enjoy.

S5 Ep119: SHIT OR SHITTERER
Is the season about to draw to a close for Wire, or will a brief reprieve only delay the inevitable? With Dennis struggling with his French Connection, it's left to London & Sankey to lead a more in-depth analysis of Warrington's failings. Plus, Rob gives a blatant view of recent centre signings, and with a revamped Tacklebags section, the future of the podcast is Sam's Top Trumps (but only shitterer). Enjoy. We actually did for a change.

S5 Ep118: CAN YOU NAME A FAMOUS TABLE TENNIS PLAYER?
It's been 77 days between wins but finally the podcast has a narrative of optimism, as the recording comes from three different timezones. Will Dennis get stuck into a late night Black Forest gateau? Which star player is Mr Sankey not happy with? And will the Bellcharm Motor Company TNT Chinese restaurant electricity scam come to light? Plus, there's Daniel's Match of the Club, a UFO sighting and Gary takes his players to the Chambers. Enjoy. We did, almost. Stop listening to this for free and b...

S5 Ep117: LET'S DRAW A WHITE LINE UNDER HINDSIGHT
What a week it’s been at Warrington as the podcast endeavours to tackle the missing piece of a clusterfuck of a jigsaw. Dennis holds court in a wig not fit for Chambers, Sam requests a name change and doesn’t hold back - although is his transmission lost in translation? And Rob questions our interim coach’s due diligence based on a 1993 sale at Renault Manchester. Daniel offers up his recruitment strategy, there’s a game review no one gives a shit about, caveats aplenty and endless time frame co...

S5 Ep116: EXCLUSIVE!! JUSTIN HOLBRICK INTERVIEW AND A PODCAST HACKING
Justin Holbrick joins the podcast but unfortunately due to a WhatBevan firewall security breach, there’s more cock and bollocks than you could shake a stick at. Sam suffers interference of another kind from an Ironbridge, Dennis is clearly still in crisis and Rob’s production skills are just as disorganised as Warrington’s right-edge defence. Enjoy. We didn’t. It’s was an absolute clusterfluck. Become a patron: www.patreon.com/whatbevan Or buy Dennis a coffee: www.youtube.com/@tacklebags/videos...

S5 Ep115: DO NEUTRINOS, GRAVITATIONAL WAVES AND WIRE'S RIGHT EDGE DEFENCE REALLY EXIST?
As Warrington carry on their descent down the Super League table, the podcast questions other free falling objects. Dennis bemoans the pricing at Wigan, but can he really complain when he’s grocery shopping at Booths in Knutsford. Sam impersonates all his emotions as Mrs Sankey continues her Jetset lifestyle over in Milan. And Rob falls asleep after only 14 minutes of video analysis on Wire’s new signing Lachlan Fitzgibbon. Plus, the Sky is the limit for Daniel, there’s a message from Daryl, and...

S5 Ep114: DARYL AND THE GREAT GLASS DESCENDING BOX
As Daryl locks himself away in his great glass box and Warrington descend in the Super League table, can the podcast find an ounce of positivity? Rob, recently back from Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston’s tropical Love Island, struggles to find a right-clawed cockatoo or depressingly engage with a male green turtle. Dennis plunges head-first into a think-tank of STDs, and Sam contemplates opening up a nostalgic guided tour of the former Wire players’ Bungalow. Also, Daniel looks at the psychology ...

S5 Ep113: GLORY HOLE
As Warrington exit the Challenge Cup at the hands of just twelve pie-eating bastards, the podcast returns to take stock of Wire’s league table oxymoron precipice. Sam is desperately in need of a drink, with his ranting leaving Rob speechless - literally, and stumped to reminisce about his indoor cricket. Dennis’ TackleBags rebadges to Dennis’ AirBags, and Daniel grixes-up the interchange bench. Plus, the Health Retreat takes to a stereotypical Orient. Enjoy. Please become a patron you c***s www....

S5 Ep112: £600 PER METRE
With Wire’s form continuing to slide the podcast takes a look at the team with a ‘yes or no’ section that will leave the listeners on the edge of their seats. Rob has a wake up call more than once, Sam gives a speech to rival the colossus of Rhodes, and just like that, Bingo! Dennis is back. There’s breaking live news. Plus, the Health Retreat embraces veganism. Enjoy. Please become a patron www.patreon.com/whatbevan Subscribe & buy Dennis a coffee www.youtube.com/@tacklebags/videos...

S5 Ep110: THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF SHIT HELENS
With Wire suffering two losses back-to-back, what follows is a two-hour marathon of insufferable podcasting. Rob fills us in on the veterinary science behind holidaying with Germans, Sam has watched the games back sober and can confirm they’re just as shit, and Dennis is accused of taking pictures of St Helens’ stewards under the watchful eye of Big Brother. There’s Daniel with his combined XIII and a marquee membership on offer over at the Health Retreat. Plus, we say goodbye to the Bungalow wi...

S5 Ep109: CINQ SEMAINES POUR TRAVAILLER SES JAMBES GRELES
With both Sam and Rob under the weather it's left to Dennis to prop-up the podcast, but are there any props left? We discover how Warrington exaggerates Josh McGuire's metres, what an NRL bunker's video referee's fit girlfriend looks like, and how moving Gil Dudson into the bungalow to work on his legs is a good idea. We camper van there and back to France, in what seems like excruciatingly real time. Plus, there's a commune crucifixion, and can you resurrect a tax deduction to offset the capita...

S5 Ep108: FIRST INTERVIEW WITH WARRINGTON'S SHOCK SIGNING
With a touch of amnesia the podcasters discuss the cursed bungalow and run a clickbait social experiment aimed at the free downloading scum. Dennis plans his 17 hour motor homing trip to Catalans, Sam’s dog barking is an ominous sign, and Rob puts his seven year old to work as a 1970’s cement mixer. There’s six of the best, a reduced sitcom, an overstretched vlog, plus a quiz to KickStart the podcast. Enjoy.

S5 Ep107: SUPER LEAGUE DENIES THE EXISTENCE OF PAUL VAUGHAN
Wire make it four from four but Rob continues to push his product placement, Sam refuses to give away his HJ parking spot, and Dennis has been cryogenically frozen away at Hull KR. There’s an NFT conference at the Health Retreat, a superbly recorded Daniel section, vlogging in Cornwall, a mathematical formula to end all mathematical formulas, and is Paul Vaughan an A N Other in disguise? Yes, it’s almost sickening when it comes to this week’s podcasters’ positivity. Enjoy. patreon.com/whatbevan ...
