And it's just seen, I think for the ordinary football fan, it just seems increasingly obscene.
Look, Adam, we spoke to you when the Qatar World Cup was going on and the problems there were around that and the ideological objections about Qatar hosting the World Cup.
We've got it happening in America now.

I mean, I just look at the sheer cost of it.
If you were an England fan and you think you're going to get through the group stages and then you're going to get to the knockout stages and, you know, please God, you get to the World Cup final.
If you went to every match, you would have to be a very, very wealthy person to pay for that.
So on Monday's episode of the podcast, we talked about what had happened at the White House Correspondents' Dinner and the attempted shooting that took place, how the guy was arrested.

And I'm afraid to say we were wrong.
I think something is happening.

I'm so happy for the gun manufacturers that they'll be able to sell more guns.
I'm so happy for the gun shops that they'll be able to sell more guns.
