Following this is the introduction of a new segment, The Unlicenced Football Team Name Game, where the guests must guess which football club is represented by their unlicenced equivalent name from either the PES or FIFA games. We then have a debate about the usefulness of sundials and whether there was enough room for Jack on the door in Titanic, this leads to a game where we all must act as either Rose or Jack and give our reasons to either be let on the raft or to not let Jack on. There is a discussion about the time that Matt Hancock almost appeared on Mead & Cheese and then discuss Welsh pirates and then chat about our favourite colours featuring the return of Demon News.
