#379: Brandon Weening, Nicole Regnaud, Players Championship Finals Review, WDF Lakeside World Championships Preview

Alex Moss and Burton DeWitt are back to review the Players Championship Finals, which saw Luke Humphries retain his title in Minehead with a victory over Luke Littler in Sunday night's final (2:00).

Australia's Brandon Weening (15:30) calls in to look ahead to his debut at the WDF Lakeside World Championships next week. 'The Python' makes his first appearance at the Lakeside as the fourth seed and joins the show to chat about his darts career so far, following in the footsteps of his dad Wayne Weening to play at the Lakeside, making his own name with a flurry of tournament wins Down Under, narrowly missing out on a trip to Ally Pally this year, and his plans to go to Q-School for the first time in 2025.

Alex and Burton continue their Players Championship Finals review and pick out some other top performers from the weekend, before delving into the draw for the PDC World Darts Championship and highlighting their first and potential second-round ties to watch out for (38:50).

New Zealand's Nicole Regnaud (55:37) also stops by ahead of her second appearance in the WDF Women's World Championship. 'Renegade' looks back on her darts career so far from rising through the youth ranks in New Zealand to her big-stage debut at the Lakeside last year, pushing Aileen de Graaf all the way in the last 16 on her Women's World Championship debut, testing herself on the DPNZ circuit this year, her hopes for her 2024 Lakeside campaign and future aspirations in the world of darts.

Alex and Burton wrap up the show with a look ahead to the WDF Lakeside World Championships this weekend, discussing who they think will win the men's title and who can stop Beau Greaves from becoming a three-time back-to-back-to-back women's world champion (1:12:24).
