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.

We've all seen the headlines. Florida man wrestles alligator in a tuxedo or Florida man sues after finding toenails in his ice cream.

It's easy to laugh at the meme, but have you ever wondered about the human behind the headline?

To deep dives into the stories you didn't know you were looking for. Hey, give it up for Mark Wahlberg on the podcast today. It's more than just a meme, it's a lifestyle.

Hidden Florida and Beyond with Mark Wahlberg, May 21st.

I am a sample. long before I'm measured, long before I'm named. Each piece of me has a message, a nuanced role. When you look beyond the average, when you see where I belong, you see why I behave the way I do. When you start looking at my details, when you include my context, I start telling you the truth. I always had a story. You just needed a way to hear it.

Every sample has a story. Learn more at 10xgenomics.com.

Mojo in the Morning Show. So, Kev says that he doesn't understand why does Megan like a-holes. Yeah, bro. Maybe it's just like a women thing. Women thing. I don't know. But we've all heard the saying that nice guys finish last. And that's typically applied to, like, a romantic relationship. But it equally applies, in this case, to Megan and I's friendship. and megan is notoriously an a-hole on a wide variety of topics if we're being honest physically fight because i am within arm's reach i mean i got an olympic costume i don't think you want it today watch yourself so megan has consistently been an amazing person but an a-hole on a variety of topics but specifically as it relates to her texting and responding to messages either in our group chat or on a solo vibe between just her and another party pot me kettle no yes no yes

no no no no no would we like to go back and post the receipts of how often i get responded to in the group chat because we can go back and realize every single time i communicate in the group chat i get completely ignored prime example yesterday do you want me to pull up the receipts of our

personal text message that's a different conversation no it is not wait wait i want to hear more about this personal one i text megan monday october 14th you period are period amazing no response this is very normal kev i text megan let's go back to thursday september 26 You know, Megan has to drive to Toledo at Toms, which is a long distance. Things can happen. Traffic. Drive safely. Two exclamation points. Let me know when you get there. No response. But yesterday, Megan was in here smelling like old meat. You shut the ass up.

Lies.

You bottle. Megan was in here smelling like Vienna sausages. You mother. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Explain. Look, Megan, you're in staking, right? Got her feet out. And I'm like, oh, my God. That's where it's coming from. All of a sudden, Megan can text. She sends me a gift. I reply. She sends me another gift. I send her a gift. Today, she's.

She knows I'm not feeling that great Do you need medicine? I have tons of things All because I was an a-hole to her Now she's all of a sudden extra responsive Because she wants you to like her And not think ill of her

So this is interesting I was wondering who the a-hole was That she's responding to It's actually This is two sides of Kev You think that she likes you better When you're an a-hole to her When you're not nice to her and telling her to drive safe and doing all that stuff. Interesting. So Megan likes the aggressive guy more so than the nice guy.

Can I respond with my own examples?

Yes, you may, Megan.

Group chat. Golf is questionable. Rolled ankle question mark, zero responses. Hold on, let me keep scrolling. Hold on.

What is that in regards to?

Because I got a push notification from the sleeper app for my fantasy football team that said golf was questionable. And then I responded in the group chat by saying that.

Oh, I think I said golf. I'm sorry. Sorry, golf. Golf.

I've had too much caffeine today. Shannon sent an Instagram post from somebody, and I responded with it, and nobody responded to me on that as well.

You were sandwiched in between other messages, though.

So just so I'm clear, everybody else gets a response, even when five people are texting at once but me.

That's not true. Wow. Let's go back to me and you, though.

No, because that's the only proper example that you have. When I present you with counter examples, I get completely ignored.

Group chats are different than one-on-one chats. Group chat is just like you're throwing it around and whoever catches it, catches it. I'm throwing it right to you. You're the only other person on this field.

But I went to the bench because nobody was responding. So it's not surprising that I didn't catch the ball when I'm sitting on the bench.

I feel like if you individually, like if you send me a direct message or Megan or Shannon or anybody, if you send me just a text to me and now I'm the only one on it, I feel like I have to answer it right away or I look like a jerk. With the group text, it's a team sport. There's more people on the bench.

I have the same mindset.

So all of you are at fault is what you're saying. So instead of it just being Kev, you want to throw yourself in the ring too as being at fault. No, no, that's exactly what you're doing.

No, what I'm saying is, though, Kev's right. If he sends you an individual text that says to you, hey, drive safely, you should at least heart that or like it, but you don't because you ignore all texts. But when he says, your feet smells like rotten ass, you know, or whatever, like, what was some of the negative? Vienna sausage. She quickly, that's what you have to do. That's what I'm saying. Megan wants the guy that – do you like guys that pull your hair and stuff like that, too? Or what is the story, Megan? Like, what is it?

I just always have to go to the bedroom. Yes, of course.

You do like that. Okay. So do you like guys – when you're a guy or a girl, if you're with them, do you want them to call you, like, names in the bedroom, too? Or what do you do?

No, because that makes me laugh.

Okay.

I don't know why that makes me laugh. I always cringe. I'm like, ew, don't do that.

Because Kevin is saying, you like the a-holes. You like the guys that treat you. Your past boyfriends. Which ones did you have the longer relationships with? The nice guys or the a-holes?

Well, I personally would say all of them were a-holes. All of them were multiple year relationships.

This is a word to anybody that wants to be friends or in a relationship with Megan. Kevin, I think you might be right on this one. Man, nice guys finish last, bro.

And this is another example of that.

Megan. Come on

Mojo No See I guarantee you There are stories out there

She says her therapist listens to the show If he's listening will he call in 844 Mojo live Would you be upset if he called in And gave therapy to you while the show was going on

Part of me would think it was hysterical And part of me would be traumatized

What if he called in and he said Hi I'm initial T for therapist What's up Jordan How you doing

okay before i start i'm sorry megan i have taken your side before okay but i'm with mike i'm with kev on this one because it sounds like whenever you send a message you get upset that no one responds but when everybody sends you a message they're not allowed to get upset but you don't

respond to them no i don't i i don't get upset first of all i've been a part of this morning How old is Smith?

He's seven and a half.

Okay. I've been a part of the show for seven and a half years. I'm very used to being ignored at this point. I do not get upset about it. Jordan, I don't know if you remember who started this topic. Was it me?

Absolutely wasn't me. Somebody else was upset about it and brought it up, a.k.a. Kevin. So before you clap at me, Jordan, let's remember where this started because I am so sick of getting the blame for everything around here. Oh, those bangs made you sassy today. Girl, I will swing on somebody. Let me tell you, everybody else around here gets to complain about stuff or bring up topics, and I somehow get the blame for all of it. Now, part two of this. I'm not done, Jordan. Part two of this is... I got more. If you're talking...

Oh, Jordan's coming at you.

I'm in the group chat, truly, and I'm responding to people regular, not nearly as much anymore. I'm done with that chat. But when I'm responding and nobody responds to me, why would I keep checking those messages?

All right, Jordan, put her in her place. All right. Wasn't there, like, I forgot, Several months ago, when your brother didn't respond to you, and you were freaking out, where was he at? My dad. Was he driving somewhere? My dad.

I thought he was dead. Yeah. Do you know what the difference is there, Jordan? They text me back when I text them regularly. They pick up my phone calls, and I do not get ignored in the family group chat. Try again!

I don't know, Kev. I'm still with you.

See what I have to deal with, Jordan? It's okay to be wrong. Justin, what's going on?

How's it going?

Good. What's happening?

So, Kev is completely right. Sorry, I have a sore throat right now, so my voice sounds a little weird. You're okay. But Kev, he's completely right with the group chat. When you send out a text in a group chat, as you said, whoever picks it up or however you reference it, that's out there for anyone to respond to. a one-on-one text whether you have to drive safe that that deserves at least a heart or a like or something yeah at least something like you know if you're driving you know you don't want to be on your phone but it takes about what a half a second to tap like that's it okay justin you're

in a group chat right and there's seven people in it right right you're let's just say hypothetically speaking there are seven other people in that chat you've been a part of it for years and every time you participate not a single person responds to you then somebody in that group chat sends you a message are you gonna check it right away when you've been ignored for years or are you gonna go

they're good i can i can understand that but i mean i'm in some group chat myself and i get there's times where we're group chatting and then i get a one-on-one chat from that person in the group chat and i yes i will respond because if they left a group chat to send it if they if they send it to me and they're all the group clearly it needs to be responded to right now but you're

getting responded to in your group chat you threw it out nobody i mean that's not kev's fault that i did not start this conversation i did not bring this up this was not my idea i just got thrown under the bus here and I'm defending myself. Kev started this. Jalen, what did

you want to say?

Oh yeah, I was just calling to thank Jordan since it's been a while because you've had a good Megan minute.

We did. That was like a Megan five minutes. I will not be gaslit today.

Although Kevin kind of started this off too. This is kind of a little Kev thing too. What's going on? Maddie, what's happening?

Hi. Okay, so I see both sides of it But I think that if you send And I never respond to anyone in my life So maybe I'm biased But if you send a text You shouldn't expect a reply You're just giving them a message

He wants her to be safe though

But if you did want me to be safe You wouldn't want me to text and drive

I said let me know when you get there

That part I definitely messed up

I will give you that What would it be like Kevin if you sent the text next time and said, I hope you get into an accident. You know what I mean?

See, man, there's just no winning. No winning? You started this.

She would answer back right away going, why would you say that? That is not nice of you.

Wait, so I'm asking, it's crazy for me to ask for kindness and politeness now? He did. He gave you that.

He gave, oh, there's that. I hate that word. That word's overused.

Well, it applies here.

Kevin is trying to be nice, and you're like, all I ask for is being nice. He is, by the way, Kevin does that so many times. He'll send you a text randomly. All the time. He hears you say, yeah, I got a doctor's appointment today. He'll send you a text and go, hey man, I hope your appointment goes well. I'm like, how the hell did he know I had an appointment?

He is the best. Yeah, he's very kind. And you know what? That was kind.

That was kind. Yeah. You guys always respond. I love you guys. Exactly.
