This revolves around Mr Gray's favourite turn of phrase. Every time he says "a little..." (such as "he's been a little lucky there") some drink must be consumed. If he utters the phrase "a little warning" a whole drink must be consumed by all participants. Gray's co-presenter Richard Keys also can play a role in said drinking game. If Keys or Gray references Gray's playing career then every participant has to consume the whole drink.
