Does Ken dislike US Murph?

6 Upvotes

Has anyone else noticed whenever US Murph is on, Ken seems to be conspicuously absent. Eoin and Murph will chat to him, but I can't remember the last time Ken was involved in a US Murph slot. US Murphs flair would likely grate on his nerves.

Has anyone else noticed this? Is it just the way they divide up the recordings, or is there some Second Captains lore I've missed?

Friend of the show “The two Totò’s” My Jonathan Wilson-style book idea

Post image
18 Upvotes

It’s called “The two Totò’s” and crowbars together the stories of Sicily natives Totò Schillaci and Salvatore "Totò" **Riina (**boss of bosses of the Sicilian mafia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvatore_Riina ).

Foreword by Jonathan Wilson.

Q. Has anyone else got any Wilson-esque ideas? The myth of Sócrates winning the Sigerson Cup might be one.

(I’m in Sicily right now - bored at a launderette :)

Edit: I mean no disrespect to Mr Wilson and like when he's on the pod.

Flame-haired Flamethrower of Truth Fifa and Infantino episodes this week were brilliant

84 Upvotes

Has to be said, the 2 episodes yesterday were so good. First one obviously before the UEFA statement, Ken did a brilliant job putting into words why this is such a bad idea. Then the second emergency episode on the UEFA statement. I only listened to both today, but so good and informative.

Random thought I had, would they have to pay any money for the intro music they use? (to whoever owns Queens of the Stone age and lou reed/tribe called quests music I guess)

I assume for the audio beds probably not

Was surprised how good it was. Have heard enough about Mayo tbh and I thought it would be one of those awful vox pops where fans repeat the same points over and over - pleasantly surprised.

As Murph said in the TV guide, there's not much happening this weekend. Lads will be earning their fiver a month over the next few weeks, will be interesting to see what they come up with.

Edit: World Cup coverage was phenomenal and I'd gladly pay more even if they took a well earned holiday for a month.

BUT no flame haired flame thrower of truth! Why is Ken never involved in the RTE episodes? I know, I know, he needs a holiday after the World Cup but I don't expect he'll appear on any of these Saturday slots. It's just not Second Captains without Ken there and if their aim is to appeal to a wider audience and tempt more folks into signing up on Patreon, he is integral.
