Alejandro Irarragorri; Chair of Santos Laguna & Atlas Owner Orlegi Sports; Jeff Barger of Columbus Crew's Nordecke Supporters Group

In a bonus episode, Grant has two revealing interviews. Alejandro Irarragorri is the chair of Orlegi Sports, which owns Santos Laguna and Atlas of Liga MX. He discusses his successful strategies for his Mexican clubs and shares his thoughts on a potential MLS-Liga MX competition, his near-miss (so far) on buying Newcastle United and much more. Then Grant speaks to Jeff Barger (33:28), the communications director for the Columbus Crew's Nordecke supporters group, about the drama in recent weeks over the club's controversial rebrand and ownership's decision this week to restore "Crew" to the team's name forever.
