The laughter permitted podcast is brought to you by Ally.

Do it right.

Hello.

Welcome to this World Cup edition of laughter permitted.

I'm Julie Fowty.

I'm Lino Zowie.

Then I keep wishing and wishing and wishing that the U.S. were back in it.

But weirdly, that hasn't changed a thing.

I don't know what happened.

Jules, we're going to talk about it, see how you're processing everything.

And in this episode, we'll also do a little preview of the semi-finals

and answer a bunch of questions about the World Cup from the dope village.

So get comfortable listening who's going to go to the World Cup finals

because it's not the United States of America.

We're smiling so bright, talking and laughing combined, feeling all right and

comfortable listening, it's laughter permitted.

Where in the world is Julie, Julie Fowty?

I am officially now at the Little League World Series

in lovely South Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

I took a red eye last night because I only had two days at home,

so I didn't want to lose my Sunday.

Shot five little features today.
