Here is this week's episode on Kenn's page. Here it is on iTunes.
Flick this
Who says you should never play soccer on fake turf? Kenn and I - mostly Kenn - interview Zach Walker, defending national champion of Subbuteo. I have a set at home, courtesy of a garage sale. Which teams did it come with? I dunno. Claret and blue home team of Aston Villa (or West Ham) (or Burnley - how come no one ever talks about Burnley?), probably. I would like to think the other team is Bayern Munich...except Villa wore white on that fateful day in 1982. The other team is white, red and black horizontal stripe. I have it narrowed down to "not the Metrostars."
Also this week. If you enjoyed my incoherent blog post about Kyle Martino's interview with David Beckham, then you'll enjoy me saying a shorter version out loud probably slightly less.
Toronto moves a league game to accommodate Real Madrid. Toronto fans complain, the poor naive saps. I remember when I found out my MLS team put money over honor. I think it was in 1994.
Plus - Kenn and I discuss whether the United States should field a soccer team made up of the best American players. It would be called "the United States National Team," and they could play teams representing other nations. Kenn thinks it would be fun - I have my doubts.
Also - I miss the point of the lightning round, and we're still not tired of the Final Thoughts joke!

You need an editor.
Zach Walker.
First two links are identical.
Lightning round is for jokes that don't deserve a full segment on their own. Until and unless someone decides to go off and make it the length of a whole segment.

Yes, slightly less. What struck me about the actual KM DB interview was that DB never mentioned Bruce Arena by name. Got the feeling he didn't know the name of "the manager" he kept referencing.
I agree with you about Kyle not being in the room. Looks like one of his aides just woke up Becks from his nappy poo, lobbed a few softball questions at him, and sent the tape to be spliced in the Home Depot's media center.Posted 05 Jun 2009 at 04:49 PM by Pablo Chicago

Well, he smartly wanted his statement to be true from week to week. You never know who'll be the Galaxy manager when he gets back here.

Wow. A Half Man Half Biscuit reference from Dan. Who'd a thunk it?

You're not the only one who has told me that this week. This has just been my week to piss people off, I guess. -DPosted 05 Jun 2009 at 07:39 PM by kenntomasch

I see what you did there. Anyway, I immediately thought of: What an odd word.Quote:Originally Posted by Sachin

BTW, Dan Loney's voice would work well as a villain on the Batman cartoon. You do any voiceover work?Posted 06 Jun 2009 at 05:00 PM by os_mutante

Seriously, subbuteo? C'mon now.
I don't want to say I skipped past it, but... I skipped past it.Posted 11 Jun 2009 at 05:40 PM by ElJefe
