It's the second episode of 2020 for the Defenders, and it's our second HUGE interview of the season! Fresh off the heels of our sit-down with Stix, Filly and The Scarf are lucky enough to be joined by Alexis Guerreros, comedian, writer, American soccer defender, and one-half of the incredible podcasting duo known as The Cooligans!

Over the course of 70 minutes, Alexis and the boys talk about pretty much everything under the sun! We pick his brain about how The Cooligans got their start, what makes them so successful, and how his parents are still trying to cope with the disappointment of their son not becoming a pitcher for the New York Yankees. We talk about the beautiful city of Newark, New Jersey, his relocation to New York, and his quest to take over both coasts' best stand-up spots. We couldn't let him go without discussing the best pizza in Los Angeles (@ApolloniasPizza), what the crowds are like in LA's comedy clubs, and his thoughts on Banc of California Stadium and The 3252 after attending last season's playoff win over Carson! Trust us, Alexis is hilarious, but he also bleeds American soccer!

Julius Peppers makes another appearance on the pod as Alexis is baptized by the "Official Drink of Defenders of the Banc!" Also on the episode, be sure to listen for the way to score up to $20 off your next bar or food tab at Free Play while supporting the ThinkWatts Foundation!
