🎾 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.

Plus work experience is what's on the boys' lips today as we discover that Jack's was basically being told to stay in school! And here's also a brilliant mime-based Trick of the Trade for you as well.

🎭 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.

And remember: Mexico is just stray chihuahuas.

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.

But no matter as there’s lots of telly to talk about and Jack’s absolutely determined to get some free stuff, whether it’s sweets, yoghurts or felt tip pens.

And on that bombshell do not fear because it’s not all car content today, because there’s big news for Colson on his delivery substitutes. It’s small scale big stuff.
