The World Cup Episode, or, Vaguely More Defensible Bullshit.

In which the pod talks about the World Cup and celebrates Rachel’s birthday. Please note that this episode deals with sensitive topics including the oppression of women, migrant workers, and queers, as well as general human rights abuses.

Additional notes: Nancy at one point claims French player Olivier Giroud has a brother on the team - this is incorrect, she was conflating him with the Hernandez brothers. Also, Rebecca notes that the Qataran criminalization of homosexuality is the biggest issue we care about, which is an accidentally misleading statement - it is the most personal issue to us, but we recognize that all human rights abuses, including those against queer people and women and immigrant workers, are bad and should be condemned.
