Episode 99g: Dunker Dusting Domd. It's Wednesday, it's 2.30pm and it AAHTOF (AAHTOF) with a soft relaunch of the show after a few months off to give everyone a chance to remember their same phrases. Rich and Ally take a look at some serious news involving the end of the world, golden phones, Musk losing billions, the massive ordnance penetrator, Richard's failing, flailing penis and Dr Who giving top actors deadly drugs. So business as usual, apart from no big wobbling boobies.

Frame 185 - Personalised Chalk Holders. It's been a while, but they're back. On a hot 19th June daytime Me1 and Me2 sweated it out to see if they could break the stalemate in this contest. Their playing space is too small and they mainly have to use child cues but they still pulled it out of the pocket for a thrilling frame. Though Rich forgot to turn his mic on and then blamed Chris Evans (not that one) so sorry if the sound quality is no good. Thanks to justgiving.com for their kindness and donation to the sport.
