from Maple Glazed Podcast Hosted by Zac & Murph

Send us Fan Mail We made it to episode two, barely. Zac and Murph break down the Saudi-backed Newcastle United takeover — goodbye 1980, hello unlimited money — and what it actually means for the club and the Premier League. Murph defends his questionable Chelsea allegiance. Zac describes what a real English matchday looks like from the inside, including a bar that ran dry by 8:30. Then the conversation turns into a full argument about analytics and whether the numbers have taken the soul out of watching sports. Also: European McDonald's, and why it's better than it has any right to be. Support the show
