Summary
Blackout Diaries is back with a special World Cup episode. We talk about how US towns are being drunk-dry of beer from international fans and how Trump got a red card reversed, causing a lot of first-time US soccer fans to realize how corrupt FIFA is. This leads to a general corruption theme where we talk about FIFA bribes and other hilarious grifters including biohacker Bryan Johnson who claims he will live forever online but was just diagnoses with an incurable disease.
