Show Notes
SEASON 8!!!
Perhaps one of our most highly requested episodes FIFA, which is equal parts The Godfather, Conclave, and Alan Cumming's Cabaret?? We meet FIFA president Gianni "Johnny" Infantino, or as Tump likes to call him “sort of the king of soccer… I guess… in a certain way.”
Infantino calls FIFA the official happiness provider to humanity and BOY IS HE HAPPY! Qatari jets, a $6m salary, and a seemingly unlimited supply of... mattresses and stair masters? Becca and Robby trace the FIFA scandals back through the organization's messy past all the way up to 12 hours before this episode was posted. BUCKLE UP!
