Greetings Groaners,
You join us this week for Episode 189 which brings us 11 away from Episode 200 - it's getting nearer
Sadly we must start the episode with a tribute to the late Anthony/Tony Head who was famous for playing Giles in Buffy The Vampire Slayer as well as the well known 1980s Nescafe Gold Blend ad campaign to name a couple of things.
He passed away at the age of 72 and that is 3 cast members we have lost now
We'll Miss You Giles
🪦 Rest in Eternal Peace.
Unfortunately we've had no audience groan this week and we've got 3 games for you.
Episode was recorded late on Monday as personal things happened on Sunday which prevented the recording. Apologies Groaners.
We hope you still enjoy the episode.

Greetings Groaners,
You join us this week for Episode 188 which brings us 12 away from Episode 200. Was on time for a change albeit barely.
The audio may drop up and down for some reason. My mic was being a bit iffy. Tried to fix it so sorry if audio is off.
Unfortunately had heat issues this week where it was just too hot to record.🤯
Had to cut the episode down drastically.✂️
There are only 2 games this episode but no after show game until next week.
Boatload of Groantent for you though and an audience groan but I'll leave the audio to speak for itself.
