Chin spoiler alert!

Richard has given himself a terrible home haircut and Jonny's brother has bought tyres from a scrapyard. Also in this show, singers with high revving voices, Mariah Carey VTEC kicked in, yo, getting annoyed by some car-based inaccuracies in The Crown, the filming secrets of The Queen's Gambit, middle-aged dad hats, and the acceptability of Porsche branded items. (On that note, the Porsche 911 Turbo tribute trainers are in association with Puma, not Nike as Richard said. Sorry.) Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
