The boys are back with one of our favourite off-season traditions: Pint Punts!

🟣 BDR, Reece, and John each return to the table with their annual Vikings predictions — and just like last year, if the others disagree, they bet a pint on it.

🍺 These are the takes that will come back to haunt you (or win you a round) by the end of the season.

⚖️ Darren steps in once again as the official Pint Punt adjudicator, ensuring each prediction is clear, measurable, and pint-worthy.

💬 Have your own Pint Punt? Share it with us, and we might feature it on the next pod!
