00:00All right, so the World Cup is in the books.
00:03Spain claimed a hat-trick on the individual awards
00:06after they beat Argentina 1 Zippy yesterday.
00:08Is that their second World Cup?
00:10Second World Cup win, yes.
00:14Rodri won the Golden Balls, tournament's best player.
00:19Unai Simone won the Golden Glove
00:22for the top performance by a goalkeeper.
00:25And then Kubarsi won the best young player award,
00:28all Spanish players.
00:30He beat out his teammate, Lamine Yamal.
00:33They were the best team.
00:34And they win one Zippy in extra time.
00:38But I was rooting for Argentina,
00:41and it was kind of a dud of a game.
00:43When one team doesn't get a shot.
00:46Yeah, statistically one-sided, 100%.
00:48I don't know, I'm still interested to see
00:49when they were eventually going to score
00:51and see if they couldn't get a sneak a counter.
00:53I still thought that Argentina could steal it.
00:56You know, it was still 0-0,
00:58and I was still thinking they might be able to steal it.
01:00Once Fernandez got the red card, though,
01:01you knew it was done.
01:02It was a lot harder.
01:03It's a lot like the France game, though,
01:05where they just didn't get the ball.
01:08Spain just dominates the possession.
01:11Yeah, they were ridiculous.
01:12So, to me, it was a little bit of a dud.
01:15They are estimating 1.8 billion global viewers
01:20for the final.
01:21I don't think they know for sure yet.
01:24And I think that they are thinking that the...
01:29Well, I don't know.
01:30They don't know yet the United States numbers.
01:31Of course, they've been in the 40-50 million range
01:35for some earlier matchups on Fox and Telemundo.
01:38I don't think they have the final ratings yet.
01:41It's been a ratings success.
01:42It's been huge.
01:43I will say, I thought the game was a dud,
01:45and the halftime show was weird.
01:47Oh, the halftime show?
01:48What did you think about the halftime show?
01:50It was bizarre.
01:51Barely paid attention.
01:52My wife wanted to watch it,
01:53so I was forced to watch it.
01:55K-pop guys, and then who else was out?
01:57Justin Bieber.
01:57Justin Bieber was out.
01:58Kira.
01:59Shakira.
01:59I mean, Shakira looked hot.
02:01Shakira looks great.
02:02Her dance is...
02:03She's got her sexy dance going.
02:05I don't know what it's going on.
02:06Yeah, but Madonna opened it up,
02:07and she left a hundred.
02:08I didn't see the Madonna part.
02:10The Muppets.
02:11It was a big mess.
02:12I mean, there's just a million things going on.
02:14How about you just commit to one act?
02:17Yeah.
02:17One, maybe two acts.
02:19There's too much happening.
02:19I don't mind passing the baton if there's flow.
02:22It didn't seem to flow.
02:24I mean, I was outside with my dog for part of it.
02:26My wife came out and said,
02:27the Muppets are on the halftime show,
02:29and I said, I'm good at it.
02:30That was weird.
02:31I'm good.
02:31That was weird.
02:32Bieber came out with the guitar.
02:34I saw a million people tweeting,
02:36hey, way to bring down the energy in the stadium
02:39with your weird acoustics.
02:40Just play a hit.
02:41Play a hit.
02:42You're super talented.
02:43Just play a hit.
02:44What went into that?
02:45Did you see Bieber?
02:46I watched Bieber because I am intrigued by Bieber,
02:48and I was like, dude, play a hit.
02:50Oh, by the way, even before halftime,
02:52before the game even started,
02:53okay, so they roll out Jennifer Hudson
02:55for the American Anthem.
02:57Games being held in the United States.
02:59That's great.
03:00Then after that, I guess it was Robbie Williams.
03:03I didn't know who he was.
03:05He had a weird haircut.
03:07It's him and two other chicks doing the FIFA Anthem.
03:10Yeah.
03:11There's a FIFA Anthem.
03:11That was weird.
03:12And I'm watching this.
03:14I'm like, what is happening here?
03:15I didn't know who that was.
03:16Then they go into the two countries' national anthems,
03:18which were, I thought Argentina's pwned Spain's,
03:22but that's just personal preference.
03:23Crowd was more into it.
03:24But wedge it, crowbarring that FIFA Anthem
03:27into the four anthems, to me, was kind of weird.
03:31But look, it's their show.
03:33It's their production.
03:33That's what they were going to do.
03:34I understand.
03:35It was the first time ever they did a halftime show.
03:37Do you guys all watch that event in 4K?
03:41Do you have your TVs all set up to watch in 4K?
03:44My son is the expert when it comes to 4K.
03:46The picture's pretty clean and crisp,
03:48so I'm going to go with yes, we are set up for 4K.
03:50I think you would notice.
03:52I had it in 4K, and then for a moment there,
03:55I messed with the settings by mistake, and I lost it,
03:57and it was dramatically different when it was not in 4K.
04:01Then I was out of panic until I could get it back.
04:03And finally did get it back.
04:04Did you think Madonna looked terrible?
04:05I actually didn't see her.
04:07I actually didn't think she looked bad
04:08compared to what I've seen recently.
04:10Wow.
04:11She has loads of makeup, but she's still...
04:13I mean, look, she's almost 70.
04:14Yeah, she's old.
04:15I know, I know.
04:16She just looked it.
04:18Please go away, Madonna.
04:19She's never going to go away.
04:21She's going to be...
04:21As long as she's alive, she's going to be around.
04:23She's put out a new album.
04:23Did she?
04:24Oh, did she really?
04:25That's crazy.
04:25I just put it up as our junkies poll of the day
04:28brought to you by Surfside Iced Tea and Vodka
04:31or Surfside Lemonade and Vodka.
04:32This summer, grab a Surfside,
04:34your go-to canned cocktail made with real vodka,
04:36only 100 calories and zero bubbles.
04:38It's not a seltzer.
04:39It's Surfside.
04:39Must be 21.
04:40Please drink responsibly.
04:41It's probably going to be a landslide,
04:43but the question is, poll of the day is,
04:45did you enjoy the halftime show?
04:48It's going to be 100% no.
04:50It just felt weird.
04:53I'm just glad it wasn't too long.
04:55It didn't seem too long.
04:56The way it was shot, like digitally,
04:58it kind of just seemed kind of almost cinematic.
05:00It was kind of weird the way it was shot, too.
05:02Yeah.
05:02I thought everybody was lip-syncing, too,
05:05except for maybe Shakira and maybe Bieber.
05:10I don't think Bieber was.
05:11It looked like Bieber was singing live,
05:13but I couldn't tell.
05:16Madonna definitely was.
05:17She was.
05:18What's the name of the boy band or whatever?
05:21The K-pop band?
05:22Yeah, what was the name of them?
05:23No idea.
05:24K-pop.
05:25I just call them K-pop.
05:25Struggling with this one.
05:26I don't know.
05:27They're super famous?
05:27Was that BTS?
05:29BTS, yeah.
05:29Yeah, they're definitely super famous.
05:31They're called BTS?
05:31Yeah, BTS.
05:32BTS.
05:32I don't know.
05:33Is it like Menudo,
05:34where they always have different members?
05:36That I don't know.
05:37You know, when they age out,
05:38they just get the same?
05:39It's a great thing to do that,
05:40but I don't know if that's the case.
05:41I don't think so.
05:42How many are there?
05:43About seven?
05:43It looked like seven or eight.
05:44Six, I thought I saw,
05:45but maybe seven.
05:46Matt, did you like it?
05:49I actually did not see BTS.
05:51But did you like the halftime show?
05:53Well, here's the thing.
05:54BTS was right after Madonna.
05:56I think it was Madonna, BTS, Bieber,
05:59then Shakira,
05:59and then a bunch of little kids.
06:01I was at a bar,
06:02so I went outside at halftime.
06:03I could see it through the window,
06:05and I heard all the girls screaming
06:06when Biebs came out,
06:07and then I heard them sing that dud.
06:09And I was like...
06:10What was it called?
06:11Hallelujah.
06:11Hallelujah.
06:12I don't know.
06:12It was a dud.
06:14Yeah, I mean...
06:15Slow and acoustic.
06:16Donk.
06:17Yeah, there were pros.
06:19And that's how Shakira.
06:20She looked good.
06:21She looked great.
06:22But I wasn't really paying attention
06:23to Madonna and Fat Ronaldo.
06:25You didn't miss anything on that.
06:26Whatever they were doing.
06:27So Bieber just came from
06:29Fanatics Fest or whatever,
06:30because I know he was there
06:31over the weekend.
06:32Uh-huh.
06:32And what is going on
06:33with Tom Brady and Logan Paul?
06:35Are they doing some bit?
06:36Like, what are they doing?
06:38Giving each other the set up?
06:39What is smack in each other?
06:40Smacking each other?
06:40That's the fakest work of all time.
06:42Fakest thing ever.
06:42If you fall for that,
06:43you're one of the dumbest people in the world.
06:44If you buy into that nonsense...
06:46Why is it going to be some WWE thing?
06:47I don't know what their endgame is,
06:50but I saw the initial, like,
06:52smack set-up confrontation
06:53where they were going back and forth,
06:55and Brady smacks him,
06:56and then a big cat steps in between them.
06:59I'm like,
06:59this is the fakest thing I've ever seen.
07:02What is Brady doing?
07:03Yeah, I think he's demeaning himself.
07:05Didn't this start with the flag football
07:06back and forth, though?
07:07There was something there, for sure.
07:09Whichever Paul said,
07:10I don't know if that was real or fake or not.
07:11He was a stud high school player,
07:12and Brady's like,
07:13okay, sit down, loser.
07:15I'm paraphrasing.
07:16Sit down.
07:17Leave the football to the grown-ups like me.
07:19Although, I think Logan Paul
07:20might have intercepted him.
07:22I think Logan Paul actually had an intercept.
07:24I wrote an Attucks game?
07:25Yes.
07:26Well, I respected Brady for that
07:29when he put Paul in his place.
07:31But taking it all the way
07:32to the fake slap, WWE bit.
07:34I feel like he's demeaning himself.
07:36And then they're giving each other
07:36the finger at the game.
07:38I mean, it's just like,
07:39what are we doing here?
07:39He's too good for the goose.
07:41You're way above this.
07:42Right.
07:42Somebody said,
07:43you're worth $750 million,
07:44and this is what you're doing?
07:47You're tarnishing your reputation.
07:49Could you imagine
07:50Michael Jordan doing these fake bits
07:51coming out of a coffin?
07:53Of course not.
07:54You are supposed to be
07:55the greatest of all time.
07:55Leave coming out of a coffin
07:57to the radio weirdos.
07:57He loves attention.
07:59That's what it is.
08:00Imagine Cal Ripken doing this.
08:03Of course not.
08:04No, it's embarrassing.
08:05It is pretty amazing
08:05the amount of people,
08:06and we talked about it last week,
08:08that show up at this Fanatics Fest.
08:10I'm sure everybody saw
08:10that selfie that Kevin Durant did.
08:12Messi showed up
08:13the day before the World Cup.
08:14Wow.
08:15He's at Fanatics Fest.
08:16Because Michael Rubin
08:17probably gave him
08:17a big sack full of money.
08:19Like he needs it.
08:20Well, I mean,
08:21it never hurts to get more.
08:22It's enough to get a guy
08:22to show up.
08:23Everybody's got a price.
08:25So, JP.
08:26I mean, Ovi was there.
08:27AJ Deponso was there.
08:28You know more about the stats
08:29than I do,
08:29but so we were talking about
08:31how much Spain
08:33just dominated the ball.
08:34They had 65% of the possession.
08:36Seemed like more than that.
08:37It might have been.
08:38I thought it was, too.
08:40They had,
08:40it says shots on goal 12.
08:42I thought there was.
08:42Because it's on goal versus shots.
08:44Okay, so shots,
08:45it was in the 20s.
08:46Yes.
08:47It's the same as the dumb rule
08:49in the NHL.
08:50If there's a shot on goal
08:51and it hits the crossbar,
08:52it doesn't count as a shot on goal.
08:54Right.
08:54Which is idiotic.
08:56But those are the rules.
08:56Well, shots on goal,
08:57Argentina had zero.
08:58Yeah, zero.
08:59As many as you had
09:00sitting on your couch.
09:01Accurate passes,
09:04763 for Spain,
09:06357 for Argentina.
09:09Domination.
09:09Yeah.
09:10And then...
09:11And Spain did that to France, too.
09:13Spain did it to France.
09:14And then in terms of saves,
09:15Argentina,
09:15that guy was awesome.
09:16He had 11 saves
09:18on the 12 shots on goal.
09:20And Spain had zippy
09:22because there was none.
09:24Yeah, that goalie was chilling.
09:26He was chilling back there.
09:27Meanwhile,
09:27the Argentina goalie,
09:29he was working super overtime.
09:30They had a couple,
09:31like,
09:34fairly close chances
09:35at the,
09:35you know,
09:36just scrambling
09:36at the very, very end.
09:38It had a little bit
09:38of excitement there.
09:39But for the most part,
09:41no, yeah.
09:41Oh, also,
09:42can I mention?
09:44Yep.
09:45The shots of MetLife Stadium.
09:48It is such a dump
09:50around MetLife.
09:51There's just nothing scenic
09:53around there.
09:53Now, I know it's across the river
09:55from New York City.
09:56I understand.
09:57But they should have done
09:59no wide shots,
10:01no scenic shots
10:02of the stadium.
10:03Yeah.
10:03Because it's a big,
10:05metallic stadium
10:07sitting in the middle
10:08of highways,
10:11parking lots,
10:12and nothing else
10:13to look at.
10:14It's actually gross.
10:15It is.
10:17But that's where
10:17they wanted the final.
10:19That's where they decided
10:20to hold it.
10:20they had some overshots
10:23of the city, too.
10:24Understood.
10:24I understand.
10:25It's not nice.
10:26By the way,
10:26some of the Argentina fans
10:27were trying to get
10:28to the stadium,
10:30I think Spanish fans, too,
10:31by walking
10:33through the highways.
10:34That's what they were doing?
10:35They were going over
10:3695?
10:36Across the turnpike.
10:37Did you imagine
10:38doing that?
10:39From Times Square
10:40the night before?
10:41I did see, like,
10:42the Argentina fans
10:43were just completely
10:43taking over.
10:44Just took over.
10:44It was insane.
10:47Times Square
10:48is massively overrated,
10:49in case you didn't know.
10:50Just to let all of you know.
10:53Don't waste your time.
10:54I've never been there,
10:55Cakes.
10:55I wouldn't know.
10:56Of course,
10:56I've been there
10:56a million times.
10:57It stinks.
10:58It's just too many people.
11:00Our soccer talk
11:01on 106.7 The Fan
11:02is presented by
11:03Xfinity.
11:04Score the most reliable Wi-Fi.
11:06One price,
11:07five years,
11:07guaranteed.
11:08Xfinity,
11:09imagine that.
11:10You know how you said
11:10there was a fight
11:11in soccer at the end.
11:12What was the fight
11:13between,
11:14and I guess it was
11:15just a verbal fight,
11:16between McIlroy
11:18and Bryson DeChambeau
11:19all about
11:19they hate each other?
11:21Well, Rory doesn't
11:22like Bryson.
11:22Rory's a douche.
11:24Rory's.
11:24I mean,
11:25Bryson certainly
11:25has his moments.
11:26A lot of people
11:27don't like Bryson,
11:27but I'm out on Rory.
11:29But was Bryson cheating?
11:31No.
11:32I certainly don't think
11:33he was intentional.
11:33It was chest high grass.
11:34He's just trying to
11:35stomp down the grass
11:36so he can get a line,
11:37a sight on his shot,
11:39and he's trying
11:40to find the ball.
11:41That rule is so stupid.
11:42That's the dumbest
11:43rule in golf.
11:44I don't think
11:45he was cheating.
11:46I think Scotty Shepard...
11:47By the way,
11:48Rory would not have
11:48gotten a two-pop penalty
11:49if he did the exact
11:50same thing.
11:50Well,
11:50there's a rumor
11:51that someone told Rory
11:54that he cheated
11:55and Rory called in...
11:57Rory's like the guy
11:58that called in
11:59the head of whatever,
12:00the R&A,
12:00and said you've got
12:01to assess the penalty.
12:02That could be fake.
12:03That's what they say.
12:04Who knows?
12:06Supposedly,
12:06I think one of the guys
12:08from Fried Egg
12:09might have been
12:09not your boy,
12:10but might have been
12:12also somebody
12:13that called in
12:13and said there might
12:14have been a violation there.
12:16Well,
12:16does this stem from
12:17leaving the tour
12:18and going on Live?
12:20And then supposedly
12:21DeChambeau's not doing
12:22interviews with regular media?
12:24I mean,
12:25I don't think it has
12:25anything to do
12:26with that part,
12:27but yeah,
12:27certainly there's
12:28bitterness against him.
12:29There's a rivalry.
12:31But I don't think
12:32Rory has that animosity
12:34towards guys like Jon Rahm.
12:35I think it's...
12:37He doesn't like
12:37the Live tour,
12:38obviously,
12:39but it's specifically
12:40with Bryson.
12:40he doesn't like Bryson.
12:41Remember,
12:41they played together
12:42and they didn't talk
12:43and Bryson was a little
12:44butt hurt
12:44that he couldn't
12:45have a little conversation
12:46with him.
12:46And then Rory's pissed
12:47because Bryson
12:48beat him down
12:48at Pinehurst.
12:49I'm kind of glad
12:50that happened now.
12:51It's a good rivalry.
12:52I'm out on Rory.
12:53Wait,
12:53you guys don't think
12:54Bryson didn't act
12:54like a big baby?
12:56Bryson acts like a baby.
12:57He does.
12:57Yeah,
12:57but I don't...
12:58I'm just saying
12:58that he didn't...
12:59But I don't like Rory.
13:00No,
13:00he didn't specifically
13:01try and cheat.
13:02That's my point.
13:03It looked like
13:04he clearly stomped
13:05down on that grass.
13:06He knew what he was doing.
13:07Well, he's trying
13:07to get the ball.
13:08He's trying to see
13:08the ball, Matt.
13:09Every guy would have
13:10done the same thing.
13:11I don't think he did it intentionally.
13:11If Rory did that...
13:12That's illegal.
13:13If Rory did it...
13:13I don't think he did it rules.
13:14Okay,
13:15it's a dumb rule.
13:15That's my point.
13:16Okay,
13:16there's lots of dumb rules.
13:17It's a stupid rule in golf.
13:18Listen,
13:19I didn't see it well enough
13:20to know,
13:20but from what I saw,
13:22I don't think
13:22he did it intentionally.
13:23I know a lot of guys
13:24stood up for him.
13:25Scotty Scheffler stood up
13:25for him,
13:26said he's no cheater.
13:27He's played with him
13:27his whole life,
13:29not a cheater.
13:30This may be overstating it,
13:32but didn't he threaten
13:32to hold up the tournament?
13:34Yeah.
13:35I mean,
13:36who's the douche?
13:36It sounds like,
13:37to me,
13:38that DeChambeau's the douche.
13:39Well,
13:39he didn't.
13:40A lot of people think
13:41DeChambeau's the douche.
13:42I'm not going to argue
13:43that particularly.
13:44Just from the outside
13:45looking in.
13:45Rory is some god.
13:48Rory is every bit
13:49the douche Bryson is.
13:50Maybe.
13:51But in this particular case,
13:52it seems like one guy
13:53got caught for cheating,
13:54one guy supposedly
13:55was holding up the tournament.
13:56for a major championship
13:58and you were one shot
13:59off the lead
14:00and all of a sudden
14:01they give you
14:01a two-shot penalty
14:02for something
14:03that you think
14:04you 100% did not do,
14:05you would be livid too.
14:07Yeah.
14:07And that's exactly
14:08the position he was in.
14:09He sat in the trailer
14:10and probably argued with them
14:11for the R&A for an hour.
14:13That's why Rory was pissed.
14:15He said,
14:15you held up everybody,
14:16all the volunteers
14:17and all the players
14:18to sign their card.
14:19He was hitting balls
14:20at 10.30 at night.
14:21Yeah.
14:22So they couldn't get
14:22their tee times
14:23and threatening to quit.
14:24Yeah, I think
14:25DeChambeau is a douche.
14:27He didn't handle
14:27that correctly.
14:29That rule is dumb.
14:30That's a stupid rule
14:31in golf.
14:32Well, he should petition
14:33it that if it's a dumb rule.
14:34I don't even know
14:35if he violated it on purpose
14:36or at all.
14:38I don't know.
14:38He was walking around there
14:39and then he...
14:40The grass is this high.
14:41Of course you're going
14:42to step on grass.
14:43It's the dumbest rule ever.
14:45So stupid.
14:46Yeah.
14:47And I guarantee you
14:48Rory would not have been
14:48penalized for the exact same thing.
14:49I'm out on Rory.
14:50Rory said he was performative
14:52and all this stuff
14:53and there's a bunch of clips
14:54of Rory being a douche.
14:55Only the live players
14:56would have been penalized.
14:57Yeah.
14:58I don't know.
14:58All right.
14:59I don't know.
15:00I'm out on Rory.
15:01Congrats to Ryan Fox
15:02who gets his first major win.
15:04Ryan Fox.
15:0439 years old.
15:06Everyone likes him.
15:08Would have been better
15:08if McElroy or T. Sheffield won.
15:11Bryson.
15:12Bryson.
15:12Bryson.
15:14Valdez.
15:14You could air your grievance.
15:17Valdez doesn't like our opinions.
15:19That's fine.
15:20It's a wild take.
15:21The wild take is Rory's a douche.
15:23Bryson may be a douche too.
15:24They're probably both are.
15:25But Rory's definitely one.
15:27But I don't think
15:27he specifically tried to cheat.
15:29I just want Rory's reputation
15:29to be tarnished.
15:29He may be.
15:30But in this case,
15:31again,
15:32I'm not the golf insider.
15:34It seems like DeChambeau
15:36held up the tournament
15:37and kind of did some things
15:39that probably
15:39Just put yourself in issues.
15:41Rory probably spoke up.
15:43But I guarantee
15:43there were a lot of players
15:44who felt the exact same way
15:46as McElroy.
15:47Certainly.
15:47Certainly people wanted
15:48their tee times.
15:49I get it.
15:49That's a fair criticism.
15:51I'm not saying that
15:51there should be no criticism
15:53of Bryson.
15:54But Rory's a douche.
15:55Rory just goes out of his way
15:57to take shots
15:57when he is all over the place
15:59with his opinions.
16:01He acts like a douche
16:02on the course.
16:05He flip-flops
16:07on big issues
16:07all the time.
16:08I don't know.
16:09I'm not a Rory guy.
16:10Rory's as the wind blows guy.
16:13I'm not a fan.
16:14Rory McElroy
16:15was in a horrible movie
16:16that I saw this weekend.
16:18Devil Wears Prada 2.
16:20Rory McElroy was in it.
16:21You saw that?
16:22And my wife and daughter
16:23wanted to see it.
16:24He makes an appearance
16:24in that movie?
16:25Yeah, he's in it.
16:25He's in some party scene.
16:26What an idiot.
16:29God, it was a terrible movie.
16:30It sounds pretty terrible.
16:31The first one was good.
16:32This one sucked.
16:33Sounds pretty bad.
16:34Speaking of movies,
16:35when we come back,
16:36I saw The Odyssey.
16:37Drab saw The Odyssey.
16:38Of course,
16:39Kevin McCarthy gave it
16:40a five out of fives
16:41and it was a masterpiece.
16:42We'll get into that next
16:43here on The Junkies.
