The World Cup has arrived and it's doing what only the World Cup can do — bringing the entire planet together. Marcus and Carter talk about soccer fans coming out of the woodwork, the unmatched passion of European supporters who pack stadiums by the thousands every weekend, and the chants and die-hard devotion that make soccer fandom unlike anything else in sports.

Back home, Carolina's own Caleb Wilson is headed to the Chicago Bulls — following in the footsteps of a certain Tar Heel legend. Plus, golf talk: Viktor Hovland outduels World #1 Scottie Scheffler in a playoff to win the Travelers, and the Open Championship is right around the corner.

This episode is dedicated to the memory of Jack Roney — NC State swimmer, devoted father and husband, and a longtime friend of Carter's who passed away this week. We love you, Jack.
