EA FC 27 Reveal: The $150 Game, LeBron Joins the 76ers, MLS Is Back & Messi's Son Goes Viral

Castro and Konky get split on one of the biggest surveillance stories in America right now — the rapid nationwide rollout of Flock Safety license plate reader cameras. In this episode of the TEN21 Podcast, the hosts break down what Flock cameras are, why they're suddenly on nearly every street corner in Dallas-Fort Worth and cities across the country, and whether the ~$8 billion Atlanta-based startup is a legitimate public safety tool or a privately-owned mass surveillance grid. Castro takes the anti-surveillance side, arguing that trading civil liberty for "temporary safety" is a bad deal — invoking the Benjamin Franklin line and pointing to abuses like the Milwaukee police officer who used Flock over 100 times to stalk her ex-husband's new wife. Konky pushes back with the Ring camera analogy, the "if you're not doing anything wrong" argument, and a real story from their own neighborhood where car break-ins prompted the community to want cameras at the entrance.

They compare surveillance regimes in Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Qatar, and China, and use the "Have I Been Flocked" app live on the pod to see if Konky's license plate has been searched. The conversation then pivots to the WNBA's transgender eligibility controversy. Two former NBA players — Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White — have publicly declared for the 2027 WNBA Draft claiming to identify as women, forcing the league to hold a task force meeting to define what "woman" means in its collective bargaining agreement. Konky, a girl-dad whose 10-year-old daughter has been playing competitive soccer since age three, gives an emotional take on why he doesn't understand the debate at all. They cover Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham getting booed in Seattle and Portland for her comments, the Storm minority owner who was suspended for confronting fans supporting Cunningham, the Serena Williams quote about not being top 50 in men's tennis, and the trans college swimmer controversy that started the broader conversation.

The episode closes with a viral clips segment — a soccer player literally falling into an open hole in the stadium tunnel while celebrating a goal, Guiza's absurd flying throw-in attempts (one worked, one gave him a concussion), and a debate over whether a slide tackle in the recent Mexico vs USA match was a legit challenge or a Mexico dive. A wide-ranging debate episode with real disagreement between the hosts, live app demos, viral clips, and the sports-and-politics culture-war conversations that everyone is having but few podcasts are hosting honestly.

Pita returns to the TEN21 Podcast for the most personal episode Castro and Peta have ever recorded together. On the day of their 21-week anatomy scan, the couple walks through the full pregnancy journey — the wedding, the Catholic marriage prep, learning Natural Family Planning for the first time, the first pregnancy that ended in a miscarriage in October 2025, and the second pregnancy that they announced live at the Argentina vs Curaçao World Cup match in Dallas. Peta opens up in depth about the miscarriage — from the moment something felt wrong, to the emergency room visit, to Castro using ChatGPT to diagnose what was happening before the doctors could confirm it, to the survey worker who walked into the room seconds after the diagnosis.

The couple also discuss the stigma around miscarriage in Hispanic culture, the emotional weight of holding the news through the holiday season, and how the miscarriage reshaped how they approached the second pregnancy. They talk through the decision to not find out the baby's gender at today's anatomy scan, the incredible 3D/4D ultrasound technology, the sonographer who almost spoiled the reveal, first-trimester nausea while streaming Los Aliens for the Kings League, being first-generation Mexican-Americans preparing for their first child, and their plan to raise the baby speaking Spanish first at home with an au pair.

The second half opens up into baby prep: Rupert runs the couple through a "Five Things A Newborn Needs" game (Castro's answers include a one-of-one Cristiano Ronaldo card, a scooter, a baby wipe warmer, and a Manchester United kit), they debate whether Castro can force the baby to support Manchester United over Mexico, and Peta explains why they're interviewing doulas for the delivery. The episode closes with a running joke about Castro's new nickname: "Little Daddy." A vulnerable, funny, and honest conversation about pregnancy, loss, first-time parenthood, and the Latino cultural nuances around it all. If you or a loved one has experienced pregnancy loss, support is available through Pregnancy After Loss Support and Postpartum Support International.

Just when you thought the World Cup story was over, FIFA dropped a bombshell. Castro1021 and Konky break down Gianni Infantino's plan to spin off the World Cup's commercial rights into a $20 billion company — "FIFA Forward Enterprise" — and sell 20% to private investors, including a firm with ties to the Kushner family. Within five days, UEFA's 55 nations voted to boycott, the football world erupted, and Infantino was forced into a stunning U-turn that has him fighting for his future.

The guys go deep: what FIFA actually is and how it makes its billions, the history from 13 teams in 1930 to the most lucrative sporting event ever in 2026, the devil's advocate case for the plan (would it really help smaller nations?), FIFA's corruption problem, the Super League comparison, and the big question — who actually owns the World Cup? Plus: is Infantino even making it to 2030?
