  Speaker 1: This is a podcast from woor Now Curtis Leewa and
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Larry Minty.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: In the morning.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: On sevent ten, woor the voice of New or Well,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: the World Cup is over.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: The most successful World Cup in history. Of course they
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: did play more games, but they had over six million
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: people in attendance. That's double the last. The biggest one
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: other than this one was also in the United States
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: in nineteen ninety four. It was three million, eight hundred thousand.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: This was well over six millions. So it's in the books.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: It is successful. If you watched it now. There's two
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: points of view on this. There's a lot of people
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: that didn't like it because there was no score for
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: the longest time.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: I found it exhilarating.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: I thought there was tension constantly as you were waiting
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: for somebody to score, and Spain got so many shots
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: on goal that it was you always thought they were
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: going to score. You were always on the edge of
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: your seat. Natalie, you're a big soccer fan. I'm not
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: gonna go to Curtis yet because he's not.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: A big soccer fan, but he's a happy guy. Today.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: He's gonna done. You know what's gonna happen he's gonna
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: dump all over this. But did you find it exciting?
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: You know, I was a really good game. I enjoyed it.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: I wish it was better because I thought Argentina just
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: wasn't there and if they played a little bit better,
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: probably would have been more exciting. But since I was
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: rooting for Spain, well, you.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Know, good game.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: This is what Spain does. They control the balls.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: They controlled the whole game.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: You know, they didn't have a shot on goal for
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: the entire game Argentina.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: And I mean Spain was sixteen or something. So yeah,
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: it was a great game. And you know what I
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: felt the tension when we were in extra time, where
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: you just kept going, oh no, not penalties, please don't
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: let it go to penalty shots.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: I hate that.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: I actually think it a lot of the penalty shots,
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: thank god. But I thought it was more exciting when
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: it went to overtime.
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: Oh it did, absolutely, because any moment it could turn,
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: any moment it could be different.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: And I like the halftime act, even though everybody was
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: dumping all over that. I like the halftime. I know
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: he's over there, he's the curmudgeon. He's just he's in
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: the quarter. He's like he's like Uncle Steve in the
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: quarter that's complaining about the complaining about the corn beef
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: something you must like.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: You just made the argument of what a boring game
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: it was with Messi in the lineup and the Argentines
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: who had come back time and time again. The goalie
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: from Spain received the Goalkeeper's Award for the tournament, even
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: though in the final he didn't make one save. This
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: would be the equivalent of a hockey game which has
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: off sides all the time, same same as soaka, in
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: which a goalie on the other team didn't make one. Say,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: I know this was so boring.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: But if you look on the reverse the other goalie,
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: he was incredible.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: I mean the saves this guy and it was coming
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: one after the other after the other. He was that
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: was you set a record.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: I think he set a record for the World Cup.
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: I know, I don't know, but he could have and
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: he was incrediblefted.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: You're trying to make lemonade out of a lemon. Come on,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: I enjoy soccer.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: I am not embarrassed by it.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: But I think most Americans I love they want they
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: want to see offense. Yeah, this is what Americans.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: The thing is they kept shooting on goal Spain and
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: you were going, oh, here it is, and every single
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: time it wasn't. And I think it added to the tension. Look,
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: I'm not a soccer fan. I'll be the first to
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: admit I'm not a soccer fan. I have watched very
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: little of the World Cup, just the USA games. This
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: one kept me on the edge of my seat. I
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: loved it. I really like that.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I am so happy it's over. Pack your bags, go home.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: I want my city back. I want normalcy to return,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: and I want us to get back to who we
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: are Americans, which is smash mouth football, baseball, basketball, those
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: are our sports. Look, we're on the periphery of soccer.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: We're never gonna compete with these other teams. They went
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: from their birth right. Who is that guy Yell from Spain? Right?
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Who MESSI apparently had held bathe when he was a baby.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: His father was fifteen, his mother was sixteen, the moment
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: he was birthed. Yeah, he was kicking a soccer ball.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Americans don't do that. The Americans don't do that. It's
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: an activity that they play in grade school, junior, high school,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: high school because everybody gets to play. But pretty much
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: after that it begins to wain.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: The system is different here, we don't, you know, we
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: don't have the same systems set up as they do
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: in other parts of the world.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: But yeah, USA keeps getting better and better. I mean,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: and that they were exciting too. I thought the whole
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: thing was an enormous success.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Oh what about the halftime show? Oh my god? Could
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: it be any worse? Thoughts?
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: I liked the halftime show, I didn't. I will admit
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: I didn't see all of it. I tuned in for
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: BTS and I rolled my eyes at them. But I
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: love Shakira, I love Justin Bieber. I love the ending
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: with the muppets and the kids and Chris Marlton.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: PS twenty two.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: Shout out to Staten Island.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Those kids are the best. That is the best choir.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: The person who leads that choir has done such an
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: incredible job fourth and fifth graders. Could you imagine that experience?
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Unbelievable? Could they shove any more action into an eleven
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: minute showcase? Come on? I agree? What was that BLT?
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: What was that BLT? Bacon lettership from the TS? Oh
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: my god, what dude? Thirty seconds are off the stage
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: thirty seconds. It's like t that would never have pass
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Muster at halftime show with the Super Bowl, you know that.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it did get a lot of heat. A lot
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: of people thought it was boring. I wasn't that thrilled
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: with it. I didn't feel like anything connected. I didn't think.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: I think, like you said, it was an act and
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: then somebody else came. I didn't feel there was any
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: cohesiveness to a storyline, and if there was, I missed it.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: I liked the ted Lasso a period.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I didn't understand that.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: I thought it was pretty cool. He coached Bieber before
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: he went out there.
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: Why was Tom Cruise there at the beginning?
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: I wasn't sure about that. Well, I that's to keep
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: the scientologist watch and plush you. You were a fan
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: of I guess he wants to be Bob Dylan. Now,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: oh justin Bieber Biber whatever, what a downer? What a
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: down It's like, oh my god, I thought.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: It wasn't a down the song, But I just think
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: it's because he played solo. I took I think that
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: took a lot of guts. Could imagine getting up in
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: front of eighty thousand people with gesture guitar, walking around
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: the walking around the grass. I've never seen that before.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: I thought he pulled it off.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: I liked it as much as I hate his fake phony,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: fraudulent football. They spell with you cackball, kickball goal. Oh
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: that's right, we only had one goal. You couldn't even
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: use that. It's like, this doesn't happen with soccer's played
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: around the world. A halftime show. This was all for
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: America hydration, all for America to get in advertising on television.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: So please let them keep their game. Go back to
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: their home countries. They could play soccer morning, noon, and night.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Let's get back to what Americans the best known.
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: Can we talk about the World Cup weather miracle.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: That happened yesterday? That was to me, the entire week
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: could not have been worse.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: We had smoke, we had heat, we had torrential rains,
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: and then Sunday it was like the gods came out
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: and said the World Cup is going to be perfect.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Well, there's one God and he likes soccer.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Now now we're making references to God. You realize the
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: rest of the world does not believe in the one God.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Syndrome you do.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Really doesn't matter what the rest of the world.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: But they're the ones who played soccer well.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: We do now too.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: America did very well and they keep getting better every
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: single years.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: They didn't even make the final sixteen, Larry.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: They played well. They played very well.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: I job Bosnia hers to go here. You can't even
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: find it on a map Australia.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: What do you like? Exactly like what you don't like?
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: There was joy.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: It was one thing I liked. There was one thing
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: I liked because I watched everything late at night because
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I was out with my wife Nancy and my oldest son, Anthony.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: We were walking around green Point and Williamsburg mccaren Park.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: This is where Nancy had growing up. She just like
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: visiting all the places she grew up. And actually all
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: the young people in the bars wearing either Spanish garb
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: or Argentine garb, even though most of them had no
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: affiliation with those countries. But they knock yourself out. Uh.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: I like the fact that.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: The end, when they gave out the medals and the recognition,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: everyone respected our president because there were thoughts, and especially
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: the Spaniards Mike diss and dismiss President Trump, who was
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: in the receiving line. Left next to the FIFA president
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: and just not shake his hand and just walk past him.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Luckily that did not happen. So the final of the
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: recognition of everybody that they taught did great, wonderful, went
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: off without a hitch. Nobody disched our president. It weren't
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: booze from the crowd, you know, from all these foreigners.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: So to me, that was the only good thing. Although
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: I didn't hear I didn't hear our national anthem.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: I didn't see everything, so I don't know if it
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: was not played, but I'd be shocked if it wasn't.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: So I'm pretty sure it was odd.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: That if it was a national anthem that it didn't
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: make airtime.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you what, it was great for America. This
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: was great for America. We showed off what we can do.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: We change minds all around the world. People want to
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: come back. It's going to be great for tourism. It
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: was wonderful. Whether you whether you personally liked it or not,
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: it was still wonderful for the country and the city.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Well, we don't have the millit a lot of money
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: on it.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: We don't have the bills yet. Well, let's wait to
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: see the plus versus the minus because we don't have
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: any invoices for all the bills, we'll have to preclude that. Now,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: by the way, how can people participate?
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: It's just gonna say talk back if you want to,
• 10:31
