Johnny doesn't blame him. It's hot, the World Cup is electric, and they needed to get on the mic and talk about it. Here's what's inside: 🔥 Hottest of Takes — Jacob goes political on the biggest sporting event in the world, and the take lands harder than you'd expect. Johnny goes after a player everyone is treating like it's 2015 and he's not having it 🌍 The World Cup Is Unreal — how did a tournament with so much controversy before a ball was kicked turn into one of the best World Cups in living memory? Johnny and Jacob go through it 👑 Messi — Is The Discourse Wrong? — Jacob makes the case that the greatest player who ever lived is being carried a little bit right now. Johnny has a very specific counter. It gets spicy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 England vs France Final — Both Lads Call It — the quarter-final predictions, the Argentina problem, and why Jacob thinks Bellingham and Rice can do what nobody else in this tournament can 🔜 Coming On The Members Pod — a signing that has apparently landed and a number one transfer target get the full treatment.
