Gronk brings that championship energy, I bring that W mentality, and together we get to dive into the biggest sport in the world during the World Cup. I’m excited to learn the beautiful game, connect with incredible guests, and bring energy, joy, laughter and passion to everyone watching on Tubi. This show is about competition, culture and connection. Sports bring people together, and we’re going to have a blast embracing soccer and celebrating the fans all around the world.”
