What would Brian Bevan sayTHE BURGESS EFFECTThe 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.

What would Brian Bevan sayEXCLUSIVE!! JUSTIN HOLBRICK INTERVIEW AND A PODCAST HACKINGJustin 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.

What would Brian Bevan sayDO 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.

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 behind recent derby clusterfucks, and shitistics is back - perfectly summing up the Wolves’ season so far. Plus, there’...2023-07-051h 49

What would Brian Bevan sayGLORY HOLEAs 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.

What would Brian Bevan sayCINQ SEMAINES POUR TRAVAILLER SES JAMBES GRELESWith 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 capital gains behind a pair of Tanya Arnold’s sexy silk stockings? Enjoy.2023-04-121h 41

What would Brian Bevan sayFIRST INTERVIEW WITH WARRINGTON'S SHOCK SIGNINGWith a touch of amnesia the podcasters discuss the cursed bungalow and run a clickbait social experiment aimed at the free downloading scum.

Dennis safely back under a tiled roof and not sheltering beneath his campervan tarpaulin, reintroduces tackle books – but will we all need to hold our breath? Rob takes a break from veganism to commemorate the Queen’s passing and embarks on ‘’mission impossible”, in a vain attempt to come up with Wire’s player of the season.

What would Brian Bevan sayA BARBECUE AT BILLY MACGOULIAS' BUNGALOWThe podcast bites into Wire’s defeat to the pie eaters with a thin crust of knowledge and a limited shitistical filling.

Steve Price moves away from his ‘resilience’ saying to his new quote of ‘versatility’, but are the Wolves fringe players as versatile as the Swiss Army knife?

Dennis gives Rob an elocution lesson on how to pronounce Osdal to improve his vocal range, as a pissed-up Sam hangs out at The Grange. And, an overweight referee pops into th...2020-08-031h 22

What would Brian Bevan saySTEVE ANDERSON - A COACH'S JOURNEYThe Rugby coach Steve Anderson served a terrific apprenticeship in the heartland of Queensland Rugby League, before an incredible coaching journey took him to the newly-formed team, the Western Reds.

What would Brian Bevan sayA CANVAS OF VEGAN SHITEWith no guests on this week's episode, the podcasters are left scratching their heads with the realisation that embracing solitude is the "new norm". They discuss whether Wire were a second row forward short in their quest for the 93-94 Championship, before Dennis takes an in-depth look at the Halifax team and completely misses the point - along with managing to exceed this month's expletive quota. Jonathan Davies hangs the podcast out to dry, which leads to a jealous Rob attacking Dave Woods - but will the BBC have the last laugh and claim the Twitter vote? A weight of...2020-05-041h 07

What would Brian Bevan sayDAVE WOODS - OFF THE TELLYWhat would Brian Bevan say is honoured by the presence of the BBC's Mr Rugby League, Dave Woods.

What would Brian Bevan sayGARY CARTER'S WIRE IN THE WILLOWSWith no Rugby League, the action comes in the way of the fabulous Sun sports journalist Gary Carter. The podcast questions Gary on the Wolves but the little devil seems more up for promoting his beloved Salford. We celebrate 25 years of Super League with more of Gary‘s Salford anecdotes, and will Dennis’ new board game be plagiarised by Gary to boost Salford revenue? Sam and Gary collectively knock one out over Salford prodigy Stefan Ratchford, before discussing the exact proximity of Daryl Clark’s house in relation to Castleford’s scoreboard. The blockbuster movie The King’s Reach premieres, and just h...2020-04-061h 38

What would Brian Bevan sayGUARDIANS OF ISOLATIONWith the Super League season suspended, Simon and Karl are trapped together in an underground Cheshire bunker, as the podcast is left to reflect in isolation on what was, and will be. Due to a booking error, rather than Tina Turner joining the show, the brilliant Matthew Turner, sports journalist from the Warrington Guardian, steps in. We find out from Matt just when Tony Smith will look you in the eye, although a carfeul edit of the recording is necessary after he constantly knocks Ben Murdoch Masila. Sam is reluctantly left to draw his stats from online gaming, Dennis's solitary...2020-03-301h 13

What would Brian Bevan sayCURRIE ON REGARDLESSAs the apocalypse approaches, Warrington win in the city of Hull, which ironically is pretty much the end of the earth. Ben Murdoch Masila’s new hairstyle goes viral in a listener vote off, as Dennis - wearing his new, innovative, bright red chevron Wire jersey - offers to meet the big man at the barbers. Sam’s obsession with Ben Currie reaches pandemic proportions, and due to his self-isolation he’s left ordering a heat-o-meter takeaway. And with little time left for us all and Wire having travelled east, Rob decides to read a dubious email from the west about...2020-03-151h 05

What would Brian Bevan sayPRICE'S WHITE KNUCKLE RIDEIt’s a somewhat mixed listener reaction following the Castleford win. Was it only hard slog and commitment that edged Wire to victory, or was there quality also in their performance? Currie adds chilli to the mix, leading to a spike in his heat’o’meter reading, but the absent Burrell is left dining elsewhere following a delivery of opulant John Lewis cutlery. Dennis decides to write to Karl Fitzpatrick as he's convinced his new Resili-tent-test will revolutionise marquee signings, Sam finally comes up with a good idea following 75 hours of podcast recordings, and Rob not only talks bollocks but sits o...2020-03-091h 14

What would Brian Bevan sayHEADINGLEY CATASTROPHEThe podcasters are almost lost for words after Warrington’s Headingley clusterfuck performance, and Sam’s stats only back up the team’s shambolic away form.

Chris Hill enters Mastermind with a specialist subject of answering RL questions the question before last. Rob’s Hadron Decider robot has developed an infatuation for the actor John Nettles, but still has time to cast his quantum chip over the goings-on at Widnes with Patton and Latu. Dennis explains the benefits of the play...2020-03-021h 02

What would Brian Bevan sayJASON CLARK, FAKE OR FORTUNE?Just what is the provenance of Jason Clark? The podcast commissions the BBC’s Fiona Bruce to lead an investigation. There’s a cacophony of match analysis, with not one but two games for Sam’s ‘shitistics’ to review. The launch of Madame Boyd TV leads to an unprecedented level of listener responses. Dennis plans for a Wire commune, but will his psychological experiment, combined with Bennie Westwood‘s catering van, end in a dystopian players’ group? And Rob reads out a brash and bitter transatlantic love letter.2020-02-241h 14

Sam praises his pin-up boy Ben Currie with his statisticulations, and Dennis gets lost trying to find Warrington's press box before succumbing to a negtive DJ's hospital pass.

What would Brian Bevan sayWIRE'S ASHTON MARTINThe coach and the club directors describe Matty Ashton as their favourite super cars but it's the Podcast's description that takes pole position.

Dennis's new journalist pass gives us a scoop on which fine coffee beans are percolating at a rugby league press conference.

What would Brian Bevan sayCHRISTMAS SPECIALIt's the What would Brian Bevan say almost live Christmas special, as the podcast takes a look back, month by month, at Warrington Wolves' season of 2019. Do we believe Wire's year to be a success or did the Wolves become the first ever Canis lupuses to hibernate? Is there contradiction between coach and CEO? And as Christmas Day draws to a close in Australia, it's clear Rob's had one too many, but can his artificial intelligence, one-legged RL prototype robot see him through to Boxing Day? There's a festive quiz that leaves Sam Sankey bemused and bereft of points, and...2019-12-251h 46

What would Brian Bevan sayKARL FITZPATRICK INTERVIEWThe Podcast is delighted to be joined by Warrington Wolves' very own CEO Karl Fitzpatrick. We find out how Karl takes his shower, if he believes in ghosts, and what the reasoning was behind the departure of Kevin Brown. Dennis offers up a selection of tackle bag ideas to Karl, as we ponder just what is the average demographic of a Wolves fan? And we get an answer to the ultimate question: If we lose to Castleford, do the board and club custodians believe this year has been a success? But perhaps more importantly, did Mrs Fitzpartick have the wool...2019-09-191h 00

What would Brian Bevan sayI DIDN'T SEE IT COMINGWere the Wolves taken by surprise at Leeds? Steve Price seems to think so. Patton's registered yet another move, Dicky Agar's joined by human resources and Sir Robert Elstone's frying up an economic success with Madame Boyd. Sam takes a look at all the players' stats and the figures show a worrying slide, and Daniel continues Wire's descent with a downhill rant, before Rob plummets to an even deeper depth with a story of a ghostly spirit.
