In a rare crossover episode, we combine American the Beautiful Game and United States of Dramerica and talk about football while drinking whisky.
The guest is Danny Stone, head coach of Orange County Soccer Club.
He drinks a Glenlivet 15 and we talk about the impact of the World Cup in America, his coaching strengths and weaknesses and his love for the game here in the States.
We talk about his family's performance background, his skills as an orator and being hit by a golf ball struck by a whisky company CEO.
We cover coaching ambitions, the pay to play model for young players and why he wants to share a bourbon with Frank Sinatra in Vegas.
