About the episode
Brian looks back at the two legendary goals Diego Maradona scored against England in the 1986 World Cup. But that’s not all! We’ll also discuss the Falkland Islands, Humphrey Bogart, God getting a manicure, militant art teachers, Emily Dickinson, unchecked euphoria, and why soccer players can’t stop taking off their shirts. And some other stuff!
