  • Sports gambling ads!

    Was enjoying the episode when it took a break and Landon continued with his endorsement commercial for one of the sports gambling companies that have infested the US. Hell no! Instant unsubscribe- do you really need the tainted money that much, Landon???

USMNT Report Cards, Tim Howard vs Timo Werner, Ian Darke Talks Algeria Goal | Unfiltered Soccer
Q: In the moment, do you know you've called something iconic or is it only clear in hindsight?
Ian explains that while editorial intuition helps, you rely on the moment to tell the story and you can't always anticipate how iconic a moment will become until after it happens.
