Darwin In Slow Mo, So What Mo, Teflon Beckenbauer, Farrell’s Break, Tay-Tay V Loudmouths

Welcome to our regular world service highlights show. For our second week of podcasting in 2024 we covered Mo’s rep in Egypt, Darwin Nunez’s misses in slow mo, BCM (?), Taylor Swift’s impact on the form of the Kansas City Chiefs, Andy Farrell taking a break from the Ireland job to do the Lions job, an Irish football managerial update and Ken’s reflections on teflon Beckenbauer. Plus there was ugly Chelsea, America’s assholes, Aaron Rodgers V Jimmy Kimmel, Nienaber’s Leinster deadline, the Mack Hansen hole in our 6N squad, Jim McGuinness’ ban, and Ronan Finn in studio on his glorious career.
