Nick, Mike and Kyle join me for EETF's first "Thinker" episode: the psychology of sports fandom. We cover the European community model vs. the North American franchise machine, sports inheritances, cheering for laundry, matchday superstitions, and "where-were-you-when" moments. We also talk about sportswashing, oil money, and where fans draw the line. Bonus: My power goes out mid-recording, a fancy script gets dropped, and maximum chaos ensues (hasn't it always been there?). Enjoy!

We almost have a full house (we do have a shoutout to absentee Woody) for a celebration that features setting an alarm at 3:45 AM, tech trouble (because of course), incredible travel stories, and quirky questions. 100 episodes later, and chaos still reigns. Here's to another 100!

And (just in case you don't make it to the end, and that's OK), A BIG THANK YOU to the members of the Awesome Club, who donated when I started out. THANK YOU! You guys are amazing!

Is travel a series of chaotic incidents, with the occasional fun moments happening in-between? Sometimes. Is it still worth it? You bet!

Join Mike and Patrick as they stumble down Memory Lane to recount tales of diverted flights, slap "fights" and crafty cabbies in this travel-focused episode. Learn from our mistakes or just laugh at them. We did both!
