The Littlest Hobo has landed in Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love and after the last 24 hours he’s had he’s going to need some of that love.

But the love does not appear to be coming his way as Ken has been attacked for his “England ain’t all that” opinions, but he comes back swinging and scoffing. We also discuss if Kane is able for the knockouts, formulaic Spain, and American drivers.

And we register our disgust at Czechia’s two displays so far with friend of the show Štêpán Hajek of Canal + in Prague… turns out, he’s a lot angrier about their results than we are.
