Episode 3421: World Cup Draw Perms, Viva Villa, McDevitt’s F1 Lap, Christmas KenCall

Permutations Man looks into his (faulty) crystal ball and attempts to explain tonight’s football World Cup draw, including the worst and best groups we could end up in.

Our Aston Villa following World Service members take Ken to task for his ‘’Vapid Big Six’’ football coverage. Ken talks XG!

Simon drops in to dismiss Scotland’s chances of beating Ireland at RWC2027 and delivers some eye-gouging punishment updates and Eoin gives a full throttle preview of this weekend’s pulsating Formula One finale.

Plus there’s Frances’ TV guide, Ashes updates and Christmas KenCall.
