Just one week into the 2026 World Cup and we’re already living in the most chaotic, entertaining tournament ever. Messi at 38 scores his first hat trick and ties the all-time record. The USMNT is a wagon—two wins, knockout round locked in. Mexico’s taking over their own stadium. Canada goes 6-0 on a team. And France/Germany are playing a different sport entirely. We sat down with Kevon to break down all of it.

After decades of waiting, the New York Knicks are NBA Champions and we’re celebrating all of it!

We also discuss the wild proposal of a UFC event at the White House, debate friendship loyalty and where the line should be drawn, and react to the End Zone Boys taking their talents to the baseball diamond.

Plus:
- Is typing fast attractive?
- Why has pizza become almost exclusively a takeout food?
