The Two Brits are Malcolm Teasdale and Francis Carden.
Talking about their expertise (or lack thereof) and opinions about the Big Game.
All in jest, but lots of "why" questions with regards to the subjects of parties, tailgating, game times, outfits, the wearing of towels and helmets and others, are all up for dicussion.
Included are a few minutes of digressing to tackle some unusual sports from around the world. You will be amazed what the rest of the world gets up to in the sports category.
Sport brings the world together. We need it in times of conflict and disagreement and we should all be able suck it up and laugh a little.
Example question: What is the difference between the England soccer team and a tea bag. Amswer: The tea bag stays in the Cup longer.

Francis even describes his flight on the Concorde and being on a plane during the 9/11 attack.
Also, one thing for sure, an honest travel report from the Asia escapade will be dicussed on a future podcast.
