In this episode, Alan and Mel talk to eminent sports historian David Goldblatt, who lays out all the ways in which, despite all the corruption and controversy surrounding the oligarchic nature of FIFA and Trump's bumbling attempt to put his thumb on the scale, the World Cup — and the game itself — will always belong to the people. Josh Pechtalt, a longtime union activist in Los Angeles, also joins us live on air to talk about America's late great pastime, baseball, and a new campaign to get the Dodgers to skip its White House trip this year. Finally, we speak to comedian Ron Placone about the surreal and sometimes hilarious contradictions surrounding this year's World Cup in Trump's America.
