Episode 3365: Liverpool Lose Again, Golf’s Moral Compass, Hegseth And Hazing, The GAA Is Ok?
On Monday, Ken speculated that Liverpool would do well to investigate alternative futures, including one in which Mohammed Salah was not a guaranteed starter. On Tuesday, that alternative future became a present-day reality, as he was dropped/rotated for a Champions League fixture.

After the most F-bomb-laden Second Captains show in history on Monday, former US Ryder Cup captain Paul Azinger has shot back at Rory McIlroy’s potty mouth. And our listeners have some thoughts about the idea of Sweet Caroline getting an airing during the All-Ireland hurling final, as we saw at Croke Park last Sunday.
Plus there’s Bergkamp and Wirtz, Hegseth and hazing, the fighter pilot cult and the 50th anniversary of The Thrilla’ in Manila.

And our final two live shows of 2025 will be in the Gaiety on Monday 13th October and Wednesday 15th October.. The show on the 15th is already sold out, so you’ve one last chance, that’s on Monday 13th October – go to secondcaptains.com now for tickets.
