Are You Not Entertained?

From arguing golf etiquette with Japanese samurai to Denzel Washington and the Cowboys. From green dildos, to the Rocket in Saudi. From Snoop in Swansea to Mr Benn. And somewhere in between some serious discussion on the UFC Trump Turn, and the return of English football. It’s the usual crazy mixture of GOG.

The LIV episode, as the lads debate the last 5 years in golf, and where to now. Sliding into petty and ill-informed nonsense on WNBA, Sydney Sweeney and Hulk Hogan. This is GOG.

The lads discuss the good the bad and the downright ugly in sport. As always. From Nico Hulkenberg (and his wee girl), to Pat Stanton (and his dad), via penis insertions at Lazio, and shagger ball possession in the Club World Cup.  The glory of Wimbledon and the struggles of the WNBA. Petty and ill-informed to the max.

“Fandom isn’t being nurtured anymore. It’s being mined.” New York Time June 25. The lads today discuss in their own way the challenges of an entire industry. Golf, soccer, baseball, MotoGP, F1, NBA, WNBA.

The Captain welcomes former Ireland captain and British & Irish Lion Keith Wood to his picnic table to discuss his experiences of leadership on and off the field. And we discover his favourite sporting picnic items - that are kindly provided by Fortnum & Mason. This show is sponsored by TTB Sport.

On GOG this week the lads take a deep dive into the realities of football fandom. And why it makes for an impossible investment and asset class.

The lads discuss the usual combination of macro finance and fan banter. Racism in the WNBA, the real meaning of “tifo”, different kinds of tennis Italians, the crumbling business model of private equity. As well the usual nonsense. It’s GOG

In our brand new show, The Captain welcomes former England cricket captain Sir Andrew Strauss to join him at his picnic table to discuss his experiences of leadership on and off the field. And we discover his favourite Picnic items - kindly provided by Fortnum & Mason. This show is sponsored by TTB Sport.

The "Shithousery" Episode. From Everton blue flares, to Gooner music at Tottenham. Boxing, to Wrighty refusing apologies. And everyone having a laugh at the French league. It’s GOG.

The Rory Episode. It was inevitable that the lads would have a vigorous “debate” over the definition of the word “choker.” This show doesn’t disappoint.

GOG is back to call it all as it is. No punches pulled. Thinking differently. The world is the most volatile it has been for decades. What does that mean for sport?

On The Captain’s Table this week we welcome Grant Williams onto the show. And what a way to sign off the final show to be hosted on the Rive Gauche. We talk Fulham FC. Golf. Basketball. And have a lot of laughs.

The lads look at our world (of sport and investment) and ask the very scary question..

“Is the established narrative accurate?" 

Eddie Jordan, Ratcliffe, religion in sport both serious and comical, PE heading into a wall, the overvaluation of Apple+. And OnlyFans. 

So so much.

As our world (of sport) flaps uncontrollably out of control (worse than Pep without Rodri), our two old men give you the conversation you won’t hear anywhere else.

This week our boys attempt to explain nihilism in sport and finance markets. In lighter moments there are the usual laughs and pettiness on the Super Bowl, Ye, Montoya, Kings League, and those poor investors into French football. Surf’s Up.

Grant and Roger take an extended look at all the madness in our world of sport, and beyond. Money, Demographics and Geopoltics. And as always. A few belly laughs.

GOG makes its return in 2025. An hour of observing the world of sport from the surreal to the serious. David Lynch would be proud.

Grant and Roger with the wrap-up Goal Own Goal of the year. Merry Christmas.
