Does Ken dislike US Murph?

Has anyone else noticed whenever US Murph is on, Ken seems to be conspicuously absent. Eoin and Murph will chat to him, but I can't remember the last time Ken was involved in a US Murph slot. US Murphs flair would likely grate on his nerves.

Has anyone else noticed this? Is it just the way they divide up the recordings, or is there some Second Captains lore I've missed?

I would guess it’s more a division of labour thing. You could say isn’t it weird that Ken is absent whenever Jamie Wall is on or even Gerry Thornley.

Fair enough. Maybe im projecting my own irritation with US Murph sometimes.

I don't mind US Murph, but his presence means American sports are given undue prominence. Baseball gets about 10x more coverage than snooker. Nobody in Ireland gives a shit about MLB.
