FIFA and Chill Format
Standard Episode Format
The standard format of FIFA and Chill features the hosts introducing their guest before starting a game on FIFA and engaging in an informal interview. The episodes have been filmed in a variety of locations, but usually take place in the guest’s living room.
In most cases the guest plays FIFA with the two hosts, but sometimes they will watch as Vuj and Poet play. The majority of the episodes feature just one guest, but others have included two or three at a time.
In one episode they replaced FIFA with Madden to accommodate an American football player guest.
Non-FIFA and Chill Format
In some instances Poet and Vuj have interviewed guests in similar to locations the places FIFA and Chill are often recorded. While they are not true FIFA and Chill episodes – as they do not play FIFA – the style of questioning is often the same.
