Rhys and Liam return for this week's pod, with Andy dialling in live as our roving reporter direct from Philadelphia.

Wrexham's US tour comes to a close with a 1-0 defeat to Sunderland, and the lads dig straight into what we learned from the final pre-season fixture. With Middlesbrough looming, are performances dipping at the wrong time, or is it just a pre-season blip?

A tired and emotional Andy checks in from New York City to chat to Liam about Wrexham’s high-profile pre-season friendly against Liverpool at Yankee Stadium.

We dive deep into all the big talking points from the Big Apple and back home in North Wales, including:

Yankee Stadium Showdown: Breaking down the action and performance against Liverpool.

New Signing In: Wing-back Danny Imray arrives on a permanent deal from Crystal Palace - what does he bring to Phil Parkinson's side?

Kit Launch Debates: The new home kit makes its grand entrance in NYC. Why did it get a glowing reception across the pond, but a far colder reaction back home?

Transfer Rumour Mill: Addressing the gossip linking Arthur Okonkwo with a surprise move to Derby County.

Andy's NYC Shenanigans: Live nights, fan meet-ups and the inevitable chaos of singing about sheep on a packed NYC subway car.

All that plus the usual banter and reaction on this week's episode of Fearless in Devotion!
