  • 8. Episode 8- Dutchmen

    56:04
    Hi listeners! Or should I say "hallo luisteraars"? Yes that's right this week we're traveling across the North Sea to a magical land of pancakes, mediocre beer and liberal attitudes to cannabis use- The Netherlands. Joel is really ill (not COVID) but is powering through like the true showman that he is. We're talking about some of the Dutchmen that have pulled on an Albion jersey and let's just say it's been a mixed bag. We reminisce about Wiley's halftime performance at Michel Kuipers' testimonial (did we both imagine that?!) and mull over Jurgen Locadia's R&B career. Also, Kemy Agustein...that's all.
