Americarnage #74: The No-Hollywood Bowl

Mike and Nat are bereft as Holywood Dan takes the Premier League football option and doesn't make it to the studio this week.

To help them through this difficult time they invite ESPN America head honcho (he honches heads you know) and College Football supremo Patrick 'Paddy the Brick' Sturgeon.
