Sonic's Ring 81 - Fact

This week we are joined by a very special guest, the other half of Lethal Watching, the awesome Gerard Boyle. Along with Phil and Will they decide this week to utterly destroy me and my podcast through the means of a) taking the piss out of me b) ruining my internet connection and c) making the whole thing a pain in the arse to edit. Somehow, in amongst all the confusion and destruction, we find room to chat about the following;
