The World Cup is on, I think, as this goes out.

We'd be very stupid if it wasn't.

We've completely ruined this.

This is going out during the England test summer.

and it's a four-part series we'll be joined by the upshot probably they're in our sphere i'd say i think so yeah of like i don't know just having a plan have a podcast that's researched but ultimately you still just talk about people being gay and autistic and pedos and pedos yeah it's paying a full-time researcher just to talk about the nazis pedos being gay yeah exactly that's the sphere if you can research everything else we'll just talk about how they're all pedos and gay and nazis okay yeah

but they do that but for sport brilliant podcast they'll be in next episode but we're breaking the World Cup down to four parts I'll say now this is one of my favourites I think it's amazing doing the research yeah it's been sort of fucked from the from the beginning people talking about the World Cup has gone corrupt it's basically from the get go it was founded arguably the least corrupt it's ever been it's got less corrupt over time Qatar was the cleanest World Cup there's ever been it's crazy out the gate just pure evil pure evil

But founded on a mad promise.

Yes.

He wanted to make a pure World Cup.

Who's he?

Jules Rimet.

Yeah.

The guy who founded it, which we'll get to.

Obviously, this story begins in, I'd say, my favourite time and yours, 1890s Europe.

Don't pull that push off the gate.

There's only so much distancing you can do now from this.

I still love the cognitive dissonance you operate in.

Yeah, no, he says some wild stuff.

No, what's happened to your stamps though?

So we start this story in the 1890s.
