This week we welcome the David Beckham of comedy (played soccer in college), the delightful Nico Carney, to talk sporting event ANTICS. We're talking Jumbotron proposals, problematic mascots, t-shirt guns, the community building of doing the wave, pop stars belting the national anthem, and all the various other perverted little sideshows happening all around you when you're just trying to watch the damn game with your boys! Plus: Nico teaches us about the Savannah Bananas and we uncover Mrs. Mets's finsta!
