    143: The Group Stages - A Comprehensive Breakdown (ft. Jon Mackenzie)
    Hey all. Stephen and I were joined by Jon to break down pretty much everything that happened during the EURO's Group Stages, plus look ahead to what's next. Also, Jon makes his Handbook History debut. 

    Apologies for my mic quality on this one. It is, if you can believe it, a decent microphone, but very unsuited for my room. Thankfully I don't talk as much as Steve and Jon, who are much smarter than me. I'll do my best to sort it asap. 

    And if you get the Mr Beast thumbnail, please enjoy it before Llew discovers what I've done and changes it.
