Are You Not Entertained?

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.

Today the Groundsmen reflect on the last year, indeed the last six, to ask where is the industry of sport. Can it be saved? Brought to you by Web3 Sport Ventures

The lads once again give their unfiltered view on the events in the world of sport. From Jay Leno to Jaguar, Tyson to Tottenham. Donner McGregor and darts. Stay humble.

On the show this week we welcome Mike McCarley, the CEO and Founder of TGL, the new indoor golf league that launches on ESPN in January 2025 - a new golf innovation backed by the might of Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods.  With the game of golf looking to both stabilise after a tumultuous few years and a sport looking for new audiences, is this the answer golf has been waiting for?

The lads today talk about sports documentaries, with passion. From Ali in Zaire to the World Series. “You can’t write it, you can’t touch, you can only feel it”. And a small mention of the US election

On The Captain’s Table this month, we are joined by Wendy Becker, the Chair of Logitech and non-executive director of GSK. One of the most versatile global business leaders of the past 30 years. She shares with us her passion for leadership, mentoring across a multitude of business sectors and her personal love of cooking. Brought to you by Chair Mentors International.

The lads get emotional about two of the most traditional of sports; cricket and baseball. One a fantastic goal; the other absolutely not. Get the hankies. And all the rest of the usual chat and hilarity. One of the best ever GOGs.

The Groundsmen meet Ryan Spoon, President of Yahoo Sport, to discuss everything around sport media and content. How do you run a successful publisher in 2024, from content strategy to monetisation? So educational. Brought to you by Web3 Sports Ventures.

The lads are back for GOG and discuss the realities behind women’s football in Como, Nadal and Neeskens, Richard Masters’s chances of surviving, and who the next England coach.

On The Captain’s Table we are joined by Baroness Rona Fairhead, the former Chair of the BBC Trust and the Financial Times Group and current chair of RS Group. One of the most influential global business leaders of the past 30 years, she shares with us her passion for leadership, mentoring across a multitude of business sectors and geographies. Brought to you by Chair Mentors International.

The lads this week let rip on Vince McMahon, P Diddy, Le Bron, Man United, RFK jr, Strictly, Nike wokeness, the Carabao and FA Cups, and the ECB. Rants and belly laughs for everyone.
