What would Brian Bevan say

With Wire’s form continuing to slide the podcast takes a look at the team with a ‘yes or no’ section that will leave the listeners on the edge of their seats. Rob has a wake up call more than once, Sam gives a speech to rival the colossus of Rhodes, and just like that, Bingo! Dennis is back. There’s breaking live news. Plus, the Health Retreat embraces veganism. Enjoy. Please become a patron www.p...

Warrington may have laboured to two wins, but the podcast is on top form, offering up its best-ever episode. In a non-stop, action-packed pod, the level of in-depth analysis, humour and general overall excellence goes to a level never listened to before. Enjoy.

With Wire suffering two losses back-to-back, what follows is a two-hour marathon of insufferable podcasting. Rob fills us in on the veterinary science behind holidaying with Germans, Sam has watched the games back sober and can confirm they’re just as shit, and Dennis is accused of taking pictures of St Helens’ stewards under the watchful eye of Big Brother. There’s Daniel with his combined XIII a...

With both Sam and Rob under the weather it's left to Dennis to prop-up the podcast, but are there any props left? We discover how Warrington exaggerates Josh McGuire's metres, what an NRL bunker's video referee's fit girlfriend looks like, and how moving Gil Dudson into the bungalow to work on his legs is a good idea. We camper van there and back to France, in what seems like excruciatingly real t...

With a touch of amnesia the podcasters discuss the cursed bungalow and run a clickbait social experiment aimed at the free downloading scum. Dennis plans his 17 hour motor homing trip to Catalans, Sam’s dog barking is an ominous sign, and Rob puts his seven year old to work as a 1970’s cement mixer. There’s six of the best, a reduced sitcom, an overstretched vlog, plus a quiz to KickStart the podc...

Wire make it four from four but Rob continues to push his product placement, Sam refuses to give away his HJ parking spot, and Dennis has been cryogenically frozen away at Hull KR. There’s an NFT conference at the Health Retreat, a superbly recorded Daniel section, vlogging in Cornwall, a mathematical formula to end all mathematical formulas, and is Paul Vaughan an A N Other in disguise? Yes, it’s...

It’s two wins from two, but more importantly, how many swallows make a summer and does anyone own the pigeon hanging out at the back of Greggs? There’s shitistical 1.75 discrepancy, bungalow surveillance, a Daryl sighting, vlogging, the sitcom, too much product placement, and an unlimited supply of optimism. Enjoy. Please support the podcast at www.patreon.com/whatbevan Watch Dennis' vlog and buy...

After 126 days the podcast returns. Festooned in prop positivity, centre anxiety, ticking clocks, a rebadged Tacklebags - or whatever it's called, an updated HAL, bungalow surveillance, caveats, one too many quizzes and a new nine minute sitcom. Enjoy patreon.com/whatbevan Dennis' Tackeblogs - YouTube link https://youtu.be/xCHfIgpoeE0

With Sam on-the-edge following a ridiculous Super League disciplinary appeal and a half marathon pencilled in for Sunday, can he endure a two hour review of Warrington’s year? Dennis safely back under a tiled roof and not sheltering beneath his campervan tarpaulin, reintroduces tackle books – but will we all need to hold our breath? Rob takes a break from veganism to commemorate the Queen’s passin...

With an antenna stuck up his arse in the Highlands of Scotland, Dennis endeavours to put a positive weak Wi-Fi spin on Daryl's plans. Sam returns from Wales with a spreadsheet formulating why Warrington are so shit. And Rob, after 146 years, can't take anymore. There's a melittology quiz researched from the trust of Wikipedia. Plus there's a wine tasting evening over at Beers. (Don't worry, the se...

Did Dufty single-handedly save Wire from relegation? Has Sam put his Ben Currie picture back up? Will Oliver Holmes take Dennis’ camper van advice and purchase an Outwell 324 with guide rope extension? Could Rob have mistakenly discovered beastiality whilst lying on the settee? And has Daniel’s questioning of Karl Fitzpatrick, given us all the answers? Plus, you can’t beat a bit of bully down at B...

With two more losses and Warrington on the verge of relegation, Dennis endeavours to remain positive. But with Sam having just returned from Chicken Fest, will Dennis' positivity fall fowl to Rob's baiting of Ben Currie? Beers goes on Location, Location, Location, Location, Location in the search for a bungalow big enough to accommodate 48 props, and Daniel has a CASastrophic soundbite. Enjoy.  Pl...

It’s been a month since the last podcast, so has Daryl Powell been able to turn things around at Warrington or, has he now become their player-coach? Dennis overheats and finds himself on the cusp of a military firing range, Sam counts his savings thanks to his absence from the HJ, and Rob’s jet lagged and brandishing an extra 9lbs. Plus, there’s a new drive-thru at Beers, a chance to win a 9 cara...

With the podcasters not privy to Wakefield Warrington footage, Daniel steps in, but beware - his soundbite comes with a government health warning. Live on air, Rob’s reprimanded by his father. Sam burns his favourite player poster, there’s the origin of bungalows, a Cliff Richard quiz, and Beers gambles the night away. And, Dennis records from the graveyard, as due to a lack of patrons, we bury th...

With Warrington reaching a 21st century low point, and within touching distance of their own Jubilee Championship, Rob finally blows his top. Dennis enjoys a Dorset nob in his quest to research what makes good head for his new book. Sam leaves the game early with a caveat, and is now only offering up shitistics in imperial measurements. There’s a Queen of Warrington quiz, first dates over at Beers...

As Warrington make it to nearly halfway through their regular season, the podcast opens its patreon jubilee lounge. There’s live breaking news of the signing of a new prop, but do his poor stats negate the need for celebrations? Dennis takes to waving an aubergine aggressively, Sam’s more interested in Australian politics, and Rob sources a pub singer in an attempt to encourage the younger listene...

The podcast bites into Wire’s defeat to the pie eaters with a thin crust of knowledge and a limited shitistical filling. Dennis is handcuffed to a radiator but still manages to design a new player from an anatomical clusterfuck. Sam flares up, and we ask just how long is his hose pipe? Rob sends Daryl Powell a tortilla wrap before offering up rumours aplenty. Daniel looks to the future, and Beers...

It’s been three games and three weeks since the last episode, but with Rob suffering from covid - though I doubt he’ll mention it - will he have the energy to look after the podcast or will it be overrun by Dennis’ Orwellian pigs? Sam blows the whistle on his best ever shitistic, ventures into pissed-up veganism, and has his knife out for a deluded Yorkshire pundit. There’s kippers for breakfast a...

With so many questions, is the podcast on the brink of having Daryl Powell on to provide all the answers? A gin-less Dennis insults all of Sydney before promoting Stockholm, in his search for happiness. Sam switches from ranting to lamenting and shows an impeccable knowledge of Oscar Hammerstein II musical scores. Mrs London laps up the moonlight whilst Rob pays an astronomical 10% service charge....

With Warrington making it three losses in a row, the podcast turns to guest host, agony aunt Claire Rayner, for the answer to waning relationships. Sam finds himself critiquing the sitcom along with the Wolves' website. Dennis' book review is Power Force, but his factorial equation comes up short by 973 points. Rob looks for wedding gifts through the WhatBevan patron following. Plus, there's a 199...

It’s a fortnight of mixed emotions following Warrington’s French Connections - but just how long under Joe Philbin’s current metre averages would it take for him to reach the Eiffel Tower? Daniel has the answer. Sam reminisces about 1996 and his bad taste in music, Dennis takes us on a dietary plan fit for Lepidopteras, and Rob’s 72-year-old uncle Bob London provides an alternative commentary. Plu...

It's all smiles at the Halliwell Jones as Warrington make it two wins from two. And it's not only the fans in a happy mood - are the players enjoying Daryl's coaching too? Dennis decides it's time to decorate, but loaded-up on his latest supply of sponsored Tiger gin, adopts a mob mentality. With the pressure off Sam's shitistics he delivers more interesting figures than ever before. And Rob quest...

It’s a fresh start at Warrington under new coach Daryl Powell, but why is he running with the idiom ‘putting the cart before the horse’? Yes, "What would Brian Bevan say?" returns for a fourth season. So brace yourself for over two hours of your life you'll never get back, as Dennis re-badges his section with a literary theme - but rather than running with a book synopsis decides to painstakingly...

After three excruciating years of Price and his Super League failures, the podcast searches for a solution to the ongoing Warrington shit show. Sam considers giving up watching the Wire altogether, and delivers a speech to rival Julius Caesar. Dennis enters all the hard hitting Wolves' problems into his WhatBevan super computer called the logic analytical binary information arbitrator, receiving a...

There’s a guest appearance from Wire fan Dom but was he really expecting to see Rob apply cream to his hemorrhoids? Dennis has covid, although he adopts a Price hard-nosed attitude and brushes it off as a resilient cold, whilst Sam misses a home match due to pizza date night with Mrs Sankey. Plus, the Free Bar questions Stephen Hawkings‘ IQ, there’s a quiz, and a nuclear meltdown near Mutiny on th...
