After a protracted discussion of California-grown produce, including young Mike’s avocado-stealing delinquency, Brandi talks about falling in love with soccer during an era when girls rarely played--and chasing Chad around Spartan Stadium during San Jose Earthquakes games, even as he made his way to the opposing team’s bench. Brandi addresses the importance of being driven by passion, rather than specific goals, in her athletic upbringing, and Mike segues from a discussion about juggling to a story about Natalie’s early driving atrocities. There are tales of Chad’s epic behavior during Big Game weekends past, including his taunting of Stanford-graduate Julie Foudy (while impersonating a Scottish football announcer) after a Cal victory, and of an infamous celebrity photo swap at Gibson’s steakhouse in Chicago. Oh, and Mike shares his Super Bowl XLV concussion story, ending with a classic line from Hall of Famer Michael Strahan.
