It's another Spring Break Short episode, and this time it's a ROAD TRIP as the crew travels to Kansas City to make it a full day of soccer! First they checked out the professional women's team, the KC Current, and then they watched the MLS team, Sporting KC. There were a few moments of being lost, but new friends were made and a great time was had!

In this short Spring Break episode, Chase teaches his mom all about the domestic cups like the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup. Basically, these are massive tournaments that give the smaller teams in English soccer/football the change to play against the big boys!

Last week we learned what the Champions League is. This week, Chase tries to explain to Michele how the round of 16 works, who is playing whom, and what aggregate scoring is. Chase also explains the concepts of Relegation and Promotion in the English Premier League. Special guest appearances by Neymar (the dog, not the Brazilian phenom) and Penny (the other dog).

In our first episode, Chase covered the Big 5 Leagues. This week in episode 2, Michele asks the burning question...what the heck is the Champions League and is it really going on at the same time as the regular leagues? Chase also explains this week's word/rule: penalty kicks. Learn how penalty kicks differ from last week's word/rule: free kicks. There are 3 new player recommendations for you to follow (links to Instagram profiles below), and a preview of the biggest game this week in the Serie A league: Napoli v. Inter Milan. You can watch that game this Saturday at 10:55 EST on Paramount +.

You'll also hear about "how we got here"...from trips to view "friendlies" in Vegas to CopaAmerica games in the US to a BIG trip to London and Liverpool with our friends at Premier League Tours (premierleaguetours.com).
