What are the main themes of FIFA World Cup 2026?
This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human.
I am the therapy gecko. I am an unlicensed lizard therapist who takes phone calls from real anonymous humans about their problems, such as this. Sometimes I'll have my girlfriend preach you spicy food and kind of baby bird it into my mouth. Is that weird? This week on Therapy Gecko, we're hearing all real, authentic human stories about anything from relationships to family drama to serendipitous encounters with unexpected people and things. If real people pique your interest, this is the podcast for you. Listen to Therapy Gecko on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Last night, a blown call changed a game. This morning, the internet lost its mind, and nobody's telling you exactly what happened.
That's where Sports Slice comes in. I'm Timbo, and every episode, we're cutting through the noise, breaking down the biggest moments in sports, and giving you the real story behind the headlines. And we're going straight to the source, the athletes themselves, their locker room stories, their reactions in the moment, and the stuff nobody gets to hear. Listen to Sports Slice on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And for more, follow TimboSlicelife12 and the TikTok Podcast Network on TikTok. I'm Michelle McPhee, and I've been unraveling the strangest criminal alliance I've ever reported on. A Mormon polygamist and an Armenian businessman.
Who are the top contenders for the World Cup?
Multi-million dollar house, Ferraris and Lamborghinis, private jets, a billion dollar fraud. But how long can this alliance last? Tell me what you know. Is somebody coming after me? Listen to Kingdom of Fraud on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Every family has its secrets. But what happens when you discover that your dad has been living a double life? That is not the look of an innocent man.
Is everyone lying to me about who they are?
I felt such desperation. I felt it was what I had to do. Listen to Deep Cover, The Family Man on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome to Sharper Square, presented by Hard Rock Fat. We are part of the Volume Podcast Network. This is the show that makes the square sharper, makes the wise guys pay attention. I am Chad Millman. I am joined, as always, by my co-host, my BFF, my companion, my compadre, professional bettor, Simon Hunter. Hello, Simon. Chad, how are we doing? I mean, on a personal level, I feel great. The weather's beautiful.
What should we expect from the U.S. Men's National Team?
I'm loving the NBA playoffs. My kids graduated from Drexel later this week. I also feel like we as a society and specifically in the world that we both live in, sports and sports betting, it is a wash in cynicism, greed, corrupt behavior, inconsistent behavior at every level. We're a part of it. College football is a part of it. We're going to talk about the World Cup today with our good friend Anthony Dibundo. The World Cup is and always has been ground zero for corrupt, greed, hypocritical, shove it in the fan's face. We don't care how much we're gonna gouge you for behavior. And we're just in a, we're awash in bad actors. Yeah, the World Cup doesn't have the vibe I definitely thought it was going to have.
I thought by the time June came around, America would kind of be more on board and you would kind of see stuff everywhere, especially I live in a host city of Philly. There is no needle move. Nothing feels changed at all. We've talked a little bit about it, Chad. I'm trying to go to a game at the link. Cheapest seats are $400 per seat. That's before all the fees and everything else, which is just – that's not attainable to the normal fan, especially the fan that just wants to watch, you know, france play a third tier level club um it doesn't it doesn't make sense what's going on right now and uh the the funniest thing is hearing europeans talk about it where it's like america didn't build any new stadiums blah blah blah and it's like brother we have the infrastructure you think we need to bake a new stadium i can't wait for them to see the stadium in la or the stadium down in atlanta like those new stadiums
