Episode 735: Nut Up (feat. Allison Miller)

Mike and Dave are OUT OF BOUNDS this week, but the gentle sports bros fight the war of attrition by enlisting expert Allison Miller. Basking in the BRIGHT LIGHTS of her knowledge, we journey deep into the woods of what matters most: How big is a soccer field? Are we allowed to enjoy the NFL? What is a tie? What's the deal with Sepp Blatter? Then, in our ONGOING DESPERATE ATTEMPT to avoid baseball, we inveigle Allison into giving us a bluffer's guide to soccer, which guide includes brief appendices on Eddie Murphy, The Spice Girls, the Britney Spears film CROSSROADS, a German language vocabulary pop quiz, memory palaces based on Matthew McCounaughey films, OJ Simpson Youtube clips, Bo Jackson Youtube clips, and of course Ali Krieger of the Orlando Pride.
