Episode 3664: Ken In Kosovo, US Murph Palate Cleanser, Word Reaches United Nations
Sometimes, when the week seems like it’s going to be a bit of a grueller, there’s only one thing to do – and that’s call US Murph. He’s back on with us for the first time since he was drinking pints in Galway with our Murph, and he has plenty to say about the start of the new NFL season, including a very successful jaunt to Australia for his beloved 49ers.
Ken has arrived in Kosovo, and while some of our listeners plead for us all to just focus on the 12 points on offer over the next two weeks, it’s pretty difficult when our manager is getting the support of our Taoiseach from the UN General Assembly. We hear from Heimir.

Plus there’s dummy solos, carefully-edited video footage, and the perils and pitfalls of trying to ignore the existence of jet lag.
