Maarten Paes might be wise to avoid the KieftJansenEgmondGijp podcast for now. The 27-year-old Ajax goalkeeper has been repeatedly ribbed in recent episodes.
When the conversation lulls during KJEG Blessuretijd, René van der Gijp bursts into laughter: “Wouter Paes!” His colleagues quickly correct him.
Wim Kieft chimes in. “Where does he actually come from? Where did he play for Ajax? Seriously... Where did he play for Ajax? America? Oh...”
Kieft chimes in, “He’s tall, but he can’t keep goal.” Gijp then muses, “Did he work with Jordi Cruijff in Indonesia?”

Van der Gijp roars with laughter: “That was the highlight of his career!” Van Egmond brings the segment to a close: “Who cares, anyway.”
