    The Biggest Group Project on Earth

    Imagine almost every country on Earth — 193 of them — all joining one club to try to solve problems instead of fighting. That's the United Nations, and in this episode we explain what it actually is. Where it came from (it started in 1945, right after World War II), what it actually does all day (peacekeeping, disaster relief, helping kids through UNICEF, even protecting rainforests and ancient landmarks), and the tricky parts too — like why getting 193 countries to agree on anything is really, really hard. Basically: it's the biggest group project on Earth, and we're all in the group.

    The World Cup Final Is SET

    A few weeks ago the World Cup was pure chaos. Now it's down to one last game. We catch you up on everything: the US, Mexico, and Canada all getting knocked out in the Round of 16, Argentina somehow surviving game after game with last-second comebacks (including scoring twice in the final minutes to beat England), and Spain calmly cruising past France. Sunday's final pits defending champs Argentina — chasing back-to-back titles that haven't been won since the 1960s — against Spain, featuring the ultimate storyline: superstar Lionel Messi, maybe in his last World Cup, versus teenage phenom Lamine Yamal. Old guard versus new. Here's everything you need before kickoff.
