Episode 3201: Ken In Bulgaria, Ireland Think Tank, JD Vancensorship, McGregor Meets Trump
Ken has touched down in Bulgaria for the first leg of our Nations League promotion/relegation playoff. Should we aim to tank , or, like Ken, shoot for the stars and hope to remain a small fish in the Group B pond?

We discuss the surreal St. Patrick’s Day scenes from Washington which saw Conor McGregor get a meet and greet with Donald Trump before spouting his views on Irish politics and immigration. The stunt has been widely condemned here, but is it the start of a McGregor campaign to become the President of Ireland?
Plus there’s JD Vancensorship, controlling the internet in “Oceania” and the UFC in the Oval Office.
