Brendon and Ronnie are here for the World Cup! In typical fashion, after looking at the groupings, they talk about the kits. Then, in the bottom of the show, the fellas talk about the NBA and NHL playoffs having classic Final rounds, F1's crazy weekend in Monaco, and the betting scandal currently rocking college football (and maybe all of sports). Along the way, the fellas spin previous memories of the World Cup, discover that Elmo thinks there are very fine people on both sides of the NBA Finals, and manifest hope that Lewis Hamilton won't become another one of Kim Kardashian's crazy exes. Brendon reveals his allergy medicine of choice, heaps love on the Men in Blazers, and makes another pitch for Ronnie to watch Ted Lasso. Ronnie recalls having a very high resting heart rate during a USA game in the 2014 World Cup, tries to explain the very convoluted salary cap of MLS, and actually does a good Elmo impression.

Brendon and Ronnie have a lot to talk about -- the Myles Garrett trade to the Rams to the Finals in the NHL and NBA in the top of the episode, and then a lot of alternative jersey talk for two different leagues in the bottom of the episode. Along the way, the fellas realize they are each haters of the Golden Knights, reveal themselves to be nerds of the minutiae of team colors, and have a moment of silence for Claude Lemieux. Brendon still hasn't built his Giants shrine and he suspects it might be part of the issue, is a sucker for a hat with B logo, and invents the color "Blurple." Ronnie is rooting for the Hurricanes because of an irrational reason, is interested in what a green Mighty Ducks jersey would look like, and hates the new trend of matching the color of the pants with the jersey in baseball.

Brendon and Ronnie cover a lot of topics in both halves of the episode. In the top of the show, they cover the results of the Canada Grand Prix, how the NBA Finals run by the Knicks is literally magical, and what little hope the Avs had... when the episode was recorded. In the bottom of the show, they celebrate Arsenal winning the Premier League and, of course, end with baseball. Along the way, the fellas have a laugh at Madison Bumgarner's secret side hustle and the escalation of the celebrations by Giants outfielders. Brendon had a wedding anniversary and reports on going to an Oakland Ballers game. Ronnie once caught a lucky orange, and brings up a new spying controversy rocking English soccer.
