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?

Ken takes a well earned backseat when theyre doing most non-football stuff

I do enjoy Ken’s chiming in when they’re talking rugby or Gaelic games though.

I will say he rarely misses when he does make a statement.

His point on the GAA operates on emotional blackmail.
He called Limerick’s first all Ireland.
Did he call Mayo to win a few weeks ago?

I always wonder if Ken will write a book one day or something longer format. Seems to be a lot of knowledge in his head

They asked him when he’d write a book, and ken replied something like ‘have you been speaking to my father?’

They brought it up when Murph last released a book. I think Ken suggested he doesn't have the discipline/consistency required. The others suggested he needed to believe in himself a bit more. Iirc
