Summary

This week Seena and Travis brave LA traffic to see the Iranian World Cup team take on New Zealand. They talk through who they should cheer for and why that question is so fraught, explain the history of the Iranian’s team and its relationship with the IRGC, and check in on what is happening in the countries of some former WC champions. After the game, they reflect on their experience (it was a journey, folks) and cast forward to guess how exactly JD is going to f*ck up the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding. Spoiler- Turns out he didn’t even have to travel anywhere!
