January 20, 2025Episode 84: Sprolate Speroid
Blu and Geoff are starting the offseason(ish) strong with a discussion of car buying and climate change, and then go headlong into the history of footballs, yes the literal balls. Be prepared to learn about Nobel Prize winning physics, the baseball strike zone, Hawkeye, the 2019-2020 Premier League season, and also the evolution of the game of football along the way. And just for dessert, some debate about trophies.
