What was the background to that old Tiger Woods voicemail? Something about deleting a number?

Couldn't fully make it out but I thought it was a message he left on one of his girls' voicemail asking them to change their machine message. Maybe his wife was into him or something.

I can't remember the exact details but it was something like this:
He rang Jaime Grubbs a mistress.

Tigers wife went through his phone and noticed that he had called this number a few times. He very quickly rang her to warn her but she didn't answer. As a result, he left a voicemail. The voicemail ended up being evidence of his affair.

Jose with another swashbuckling win and a reformed deli Ali playing the best soccer of his career... I assume Monday’s podcast will be Ken: An apology to Jose Muriniho.

Yawn.

It only took 3 games for Jose to give spurs fans their football club back... an achievement in itself.

That's a bit hyperbolic now, the underlying problems are still there. Toby Alderweireld, Jan Vertonghen and Christian Eriksen are approaching the final six months of their deals. Danny Rose is planning to run down his down too. Other areas need strengthening. How much is Levy going to give him to replace them? And more importantly, how is he going to react if it is not deemed enough or Levy doesn't want to buy the same players that he does?

Are you going to come into this thread and post absolute nonsense for the rest of the year or whats the plan?

Quite enjoyed Murph today continually pressing the 'Disaster for Dublin' button following Gavin's resignation, despite his guests dismissing the notion.

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

Did they put out a soccer pod today? I just have the Dublin GAA one.

I used to love Blindboy and I defended him to the hilt elsewhere on the site on many occasions.

His work with the rubberbandits was sharp, original and funny and the fact that it was coming from a bunch of guys with plastic bags on their heads made it even better. When he started branching out into expressing his opinions about wider issues in the media, I felt that, for a long time that he was bang on the money about so much. Blindboy was alright, a bit of a legend in my book.

I don't know when the turning point happened, but at some point over the last two years or so he dissapeared so far up his own rectum that he's actually become insufferable. I just can not listen to his podcast anymore. He talks such wire on it: half mangled and misremembered "facts" used to prop up hot air. The Spike Lee episode last year was bloody awful: two self-regarding ejits, regarding each other. He was so patently full of sht in that episode. He was Spike's biggest fan, supposedly, but yet hadn't seen 90% of his movies...

So, a players chair with Blindboy? I fcking fear the worst!

I'll give it a listen but probably won't last too long. I think he's been gradually disappearing up his own hole for years now.

I agree. He is constantly contradicting himself which makes it hard to take him seriously. The interview podcasts are terrible, not because of the interviewees but because the host feels he need to constantly interject with his take on the question being asked. It makes for stilted interviews with a heavy dose of agenda.

Setting it on fire would be too good for it.

I'm in the same boat. Think I lasted about 30 podcasts in, the talk about ****ing flow all the time drove me mad,

It's all about the flow.

The Robo Voice part had me laughing out loud on the Dart.

Great John Malkovich segment, the robo voice for dangerous liasons was classic

Just saw on twitter they have Ewan McKenna in studio, I will be giving that episode a wide berth.

Hopeful its his one and only appearance on the show, if he starts popping up more and more, they will certainly be losing my subscription

I'm far, far from Ewan McKenna's biggest fan. His behaviour on twitter over the past year or so is very odd, verging on concerning.

I'd be very interested in hearing him on Second Captains though!

I hope the guys are smart enough to pull him up on some of the stupid stuff he says. He gets away with saying some crazy stuff on twitter and pundit arena dont seem to care what he writes too but maybe that says more about pundit arena

That whole section felt like a Clive James tribute:D The bit that had me actually LOLing was "Guys we have a problem: We've been asked to do this ad and I'm really bad at acting.":pac:

There must have been too much Gavin praise yesterday so they need someone to lay into him for half an hour. Didn’t he delete a load of Tweets calling Gavin a lowlife before?
