In this episode, we go from South Beach to North Florida to take in a wild range of sporting peculiarities. We begin by visiting a jai-alai fronton in Miami, where players are trying to keep the Basque game alive in the basement of a casino. We swing by Domino Park, where Miami’s elders are hanging out, before checking in on a group of Inter Miami fans who believe that success is close - if they fire Phil Neville.

We take the tri-rail up to Delray Beach to visit the Pillow Fight Championship and meet the fighters who have transitioned from MMA, jiu-jitsu and bare-knuckle fighting in order to swing a pillow.

Finally, it’s the Greyhound bus to Gainesville. The Gators are playing at the Swamp, where the fans are in a chaotic yet philosophical mood, and everyone is ready to belt out a bit of Tom Petty.

Before all that, there’s part nine of the Patagonian hitchhiking journey, as Eoin tries to save himself from Ramon’s disastrous u-turn attempt.
