I love the McGregor bed with him trying to sound solemn and serious mixed with the horrible obnoxious things he says during press conferences.

Ken was right during the Summer when he said Charlton was more astute than he got credit for.

The "Who the fùck is that guy?" is perfect placed, makes me laugh every time

Yeah the MacGregor one is a great one.

"Let's go...Ireland...Let's go...Rest of the World"

Toe curling cringe. Absolute gormless ejit.

This might come in handy over the next few days.

My nephew is already referring the fence and the bòllox, and he never even heard the tripod.

Beersmith · 26-12-2020 1:12pm

I enjoyed the war and peace talk, Ken knew far more about it that Murph who had only recently read it!

NavyandBlue · 26-12-2020 8:33pm

A belated Christmas present for Ken: Chelsea losing badly to a weakened version of the worst Arsenal team of the PL era. The next football show should be good.

Beersmith · 26-12-2020 9:17pm

I hope there will be a pod tomorrow with just ken and JW. There wasn't at all last year and it was disappointing, they were playing the ****ee live recordings last year.

He already had a go at lampard on twitter

The players have betrayed Frank again.

Strange pod today. I had not read the book so couldn’t connect with this at all. It’s a tough time
As it is for everyone and would have preferred a light hearted pod. Bit of a mis step I think.

Yep gave it a miss myself. Not particularly interested in seeking out more tragedy in podcast form.

I take your point about it not being light hearted however I have to say I did find it quite interesting and i could relate to the subject matter having lost family members well before their time too.

Ridleys explanation of his journey through grief was fascinating and I could empathise with a lot of it.

While many might not feel its the appropriate time of year for the subject matter Christmas can be the most excruciating time of year when you are missing a loved one and that shouldn't be shied away from. Personally I couldn't fully enjoy Christmas for years until I became a parent.

NavyandBlue · 29-12-2020 9:48pm

I did enjoy today’s episode and I wasn’t looking forward to when I saw the episode’s description in advance of listening to it. I’m surprised they didn’t make the connection between Ken involuntarily spilling the six pints in the Phoenix Park and today’s interviewee watching the man at the cricket spilling multiple pints after being hit by a frisbee.

I think they did as the interview was recorded before so reminded them of the ken incident which they then mentioned at the start

Im not grieving anyone but I thought it was a great interview ans I would really like to read the book. Christmas time is as good as any for the subject matter. Pity it doesn't seem available via kindle which is surprising

Return of the isolating podcast from Monday?
Would be great if he was back in Achill again.

Is it returning or are you speculating?
Doubt he's in Achill at the minute.

Oooh, I hope so.

Listened back to the very first week of them the other day. It's so different to what it ended up being like. He sounds really fed up at the start.

humberklog · 01-01-2021 7:44pm

I don't think Doddles is returning. At least he said he wasn't going to do another after the last one finished.

He might not have much else to do, unless he has another book up his sleeve.

01-01-2021 10:06pm

He seems to be doing some video things on his own social channels this time round. Not sure if they’re daily or not.

jones · 01-01-2021 11:50pm

I enjoyed the first lockdown podcast but I skipped 99% of it the second time. Hard to repeat the magic I suppose but just didn't enjoy it the second time. I'd be happy if they just left it at this stage but no skin off my nose if it continues

delta_bravo · 03-01-2021 10:46pm

Anyone know what date episode us murph was on for some festive segment they mentioned? Think I missed one

December 30th.

Anyone else's ears prick up last week when Ken was talking about sexism and relating to an experience he had on an oil rig in the 90's?

Roughneck Ken? Throwing shapes about the decks with a big giant spanner in one hand and a can of Tennants lager in the other.

Yeah, was a really out of character story....although I don't really know his past or his circle of family/friends.
Maybe he read it in a book? It needed more context anyway.

Beersmith · 04-01-2021 7:45pm

He didn't say oil rig, he said diving and him and his family are big into swimming

Well in fairness he said "diving vessel in the North Sea" which I'd associate with oil rig support rather than swimming.

EltonJohn69 · 04-01-2021 11:10pm

With Liverpool loosing I reckon it will be gaa podcasts for the rest of the week/ Ken back on the tobacco and Nutella.

Should they re name the show Gaa captains ? It’s basically 85% gaa content now.

I expect that if Jose beats Ken’s Liverpool tonight we won’t be getting a foot ball show tomorrow, probably be another GAA show in its place.

Did they used to do two podcasts on a Monday, one of which was GAA ??? The Gaa podcast should not pollute a Tuesday.

Definitely, why didn't Eoin ask him more questions about it??

The scumbag who wrote the email in about the abuse the lads gave Jermaine Jenas had Murph really scrambling.

Yeah Murph really tried far too hard to defend him/themselves

Utopia Parkway · 05-01-2021 4:18pm

I like Murph but kinda amusing how badly he comes out of the Egomaniacs segments and how well Ken usually comes out of his ones.

Lucas Hood · 05-01-2021 4:22pm

Anyone know if they've moved offices from Fitzwilliam St? Sign isnt up on wall anymore. Probably no need for a office with covid.

Makes sense to move out if their lease was due to expire. Wasted money.
They might need an office once covid is over so they have someplace to interview guests.

They did mention in one of the Christmas episodes that they usually have Ken going in on his own to do the post-Stephen's Day pod, but this year nobody has to go anywhere, so they're all clearly working from home, so it makes sense to leave lease lapse...

Lucas Hood · 05-01-2021 5:16pm

I do remember hearing that. Tbh you wouldn't notice they're all in their own houses recording the sound quality is really good. Something Football Weekly isn't always so good at.

05-01-2021 6:26pm

They’ve done a really great job on the sound. You’d think they were still in the same room.

It’s great and the conversation flows like they’re all in the same room, no one talking over each other.

dulpit · 05-01-2021 7:44pm

Pro-tip: Don't record the audio from zoom/skype/etc. Record each person individually, mix the tracks together.

They were talking about Baggot Street a couple of months ago and it was mentioned (by Eoin I think) that such and such was beside their “old office”. I presume they’ve been in the same place since 2013 so it looks like they’ve given up the lease. I agree on the sound quality - the only time I recall it being in any way defective was on one of the pods last week where Ken was very echo-y.

I have a vague recollection that Ken's father was a navy diver. So a post military career in the North Sea and a summer job for Ken might not be beyond the bounds of probability...

From today's episode description:

Arrrr me maties, so that clears that up.
