Hello hello! Just your couple of friendly morons here to talk to you about a bit of football, a bit of hyper-masculinity, a bit of football media and then a bit more football when we're really meant to be wrapping things up.

Running order today is:

* Chelsea - Manchester United - Mourinho (again...)

* Manchester City as a phenomenon

* Is Bernardo better than KDB? (Nico goes all clickbait on us)

* Something about LeBron (I forget what)

* Issues with hyper-masculinity. Jon tries to argue around using the language but then realises he's being ridiculous.

* How do you operate within the football media whilst also having high standards about how the media should operate?

* Back to football: Ross Barkley? N'Golo Kante? Wtf Chelsea's midfield...

* Arsenal: lol

Enjoy!

In a week in which Jon and Nico didn't watch any football, they bring you a podcast that mentions a fair bit of football...

Look out for:

* Con(n)or McGregor and the UFC

* Alexis Sanchez is bad

* Ronaldo vs Messi? Why has no one pitched these two together before?

* A film that Nico watched but Jon didn't

* Jon killed Neil Armstrong

* Any other business

Another week closer to death, another episode of Morons.

Lots for you to get your proverbial teeth into this week. Jon and Nick talk about:

* Why is The S*n so shit?

* How do you structure your writing?

* How do you write cover letters?

* FOOTBALL (Manchester City vs Liverpool)

* FOOTBALL (Chelsea)

* FOOTBALL (Arsenal)

* Jon explains Fortnite

* Male pattern baldness 

* Jon explains UFC

* Fascism is a Bad Thing

* Some concluding poems

Hello and welcome to the eighth episode of the Football Media Podcast on the Team of John O'Sheas platform.

I'm Jon Mackenzie and, across the course of the new season, I'm going to be bringing you a weekly podcast that seeks to open up the often-murky underworld of the football media. Each episode will bring you an interview with an expert in as many diverse areas within the industry as possible. We've got writers, authors, artists, journalists, broadcasters, event co-ordinators, lawyers, commentators - if you can name it, we've got it.

This week, I'm speaking to Mark Godfrey – founder and editor of the Football Pink.

In the course of our conversation, we discuss the origins of the Pink, the various ins and outs of running a fanzine and website in the present day, and what the future of the football media will look like for them.

If you enjoy this podcast, please share it with your friends, subscribe, rate and review on iTunes in order to help us gain exposure and, if you are a social media person, follow us on Twitter @FootyMediaPod.

Next week, we will be talking to Shireen Ahmed freelance sports journalist and co-host of Burn It All Down about the protest in the football media. But before that, it's Mark Godfrey, The Football Pink and the place of fanzines in the football media.

Enjoy!

Oh look! It's only football's version of the Joe Rogan Experience but without the Joe Rogan experience. Dangerous ideas explored but with very little hard-hitting interviewing along the way.

This week, Jon and Nico are joined by a third Moron, Jamie Hamilton, who comes to us as an emissary of aforementioned Rogan - Joe - to offer something of a defence.

During the course of the discussion, we talk:

* Jon defends Flat Earthers as 'more scientific in some sense' than the rest of us.

* We talk about Jonathan Wilson's PSG piece in which he goes in two-footed on Neymar. 

* Nico basically cries lamenting how toxic masculinity has ruined elite football. Typical.

* We talk a bit about Nike's advertising campaign. Nico and Jamie seem alarmingly happy to just swallow the lies of Late Capitalism but don't worry - Jon keeps them on the straight and narrow.

All this and more beside in this week's episode of Morons!

OH EM GEE - It's the Morons Show!!!

In a week in which we learned that Bert and Ernie are making the beast with two backs, Jon and Nick are here to get a little bit Sesame, a little bit Street about the world of football.

We talked about a bunch of things:

* A new football website on the block (we wish them well)

* Sean Fennessey and why we refuse to believe that life at The Ringer isn't all Hypnotic, nude Bill Simmons and orange peel

* A little bit about boring media stuff (Would you become a member of a great sports web space?)

* Pochettino gets analogical and the British Press go into meltdown

* Why Jonathan Liew should go to America

* Are football players stupid or are they just boring (Thank fck 14 y.o. Nico didn't have Twitter)

* Other stuff.

Enjoy! Moron love x
