Episode 91: A Cover-up of Incompetence

Kickoff for the Champions League final was delayed by 30 minutes to allow Liverpool fans to enter the stadium. Why was there a problem with crowd control, and how has the government of France been caught in a deliberate lie? Chad and John are here to break it all down. Disney+ has blessed us with the first three episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi, and we discuss all the major and minor elements of the new Star Wars show (3:00). What is working about the show, are there any shortcomings, and what do we want to see in the second half? After that, we preview the NBA finals (17:18), with John breaking down the resurgent Warriors and Chad describing the brilliance of the Celtics defense. We also make our picks for the 2022 NBA Champion. For our big story, we return to France for the second week in a row with a soccer story that erupted in reporting and videos on Twitter in the buildup to the Champions League Final (24:30). Why couldn't Liverpool fans get into the stadium? Why did stadium security seem so unprepared to meet the moment? And how does reporting from the scene contradict the official story from the France government?
