Johnny and Mike are back from America, and the World Cup stories are flowing.

From Boston to Miami, dive bars to baseball stadiums, Jolly Ranchers to $2,600 football tickets, this episode looks at what happens when sport, business, culture and national pride all collide on the world stage.

The team talk about Scotland’s World Cup journey, the incredible welcome from the Americans, the billions behind major sporting events, FIFA ticket pricing, fan culture, tourism, teamwork, grassroots football and why the right people in the right team can outperform a group of superstars.

It is part travel story, part football chat, part business lesson, and full Business Babble.
