His lovely mom. She was just sitting in the car just windows down, hanging out. Shilling in the Corvette. And you know he says the longest goodbyes ever?

Every goodbye takes about eight minutes on average. I'm like, Mark, get your ass out there. Your mom's sitting in the car. He's like, oh no, she's good. Oh my God. It's the sweetest thing ever.

Every day that guy would go visit her. Every single day. Are you serious? I swear to you, man. I do not put

that past him. That is very Dr. Warner. Anybody who knows him. He's the best.

So, Dr. Warner, we love you so much and thank you for all you do for so many people. And we just want you to know that your mom is always going to be with you, man.

The World Cup is underway, and it's been incredible. On our podcast, The Away End, with Daniel Alarcon and John Green, we're talking about the games that have delighted us, the teams that have inspired us, what we're loving, and what surprised us, all through the lens of being massive fans of the world's most beautiful game.

Daniel, this tournament has been magical so far. There's so much to love, and I can hardly believe the drama that the group stage brought us and now it's time for us to talk about the teams that are left as the field is whittled down to one World Cup champion on July 19th.
