  Speaker 1: You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: six forty.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Thursday morning, July sixteenth, Handle in the Morning Crew at
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: eight thirty and at eight fifty this morning. Coming up
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: the last two segments, We're gonna do a couple of
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: soccer stories and they are really interesting. What's happening to
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: soccer or football in the United States? Did anybody see
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: the game yesterday with Argentina and England? It was phenomenal
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: And I'm not a huge soccer fan, but it was incredible.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Will you're nodding your head? Did you see the game?
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: It was just astoundingly good. And we'll see the final
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: is going to be Spain and Argentina and if Argentina
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: wins US back to back? Okay, Pete Hexith, like many
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: members of the Trump administration, I think they wake up
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: in the morning and say, Okay, what can we do
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: today to really shake things up? So yesterday head Seth
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: announces a new mandatory, mandatory screening program to test all
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: service members thirty years of age and older, including women,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: for testosterone deficiency every year. But hormone treatment for troops
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: with low tes testosterone will be voluntary. So you test,
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: but you don't have to deal with it. And as
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: he said, I love this. Our most decisive tactical advantage
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: will always be the individual war fighter. You know, the
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: technology we have, No, it's the tactical advantage of the
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: individual war fighter, and we have a sacred duty to
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: maintain that advantage. So the goalie said this was a
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: social media message, is that testosterone levels are critical now
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: that US forces are ramping up attacks in Iran. Huh okay,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: I mean he's connected the two, and I guess there's
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: some connection. Defense secretaries don't usually focus on questions like this.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: They involve the things that they do, get involved with
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: alliance's war weapons productions, not testosterone. Hegseth, who is astoundingly
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: qualified to be our defense secretary, a former Army National
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Guard officer in a rock war veteran, and that's it. Boy,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: has he been getting involved in minutia such as mandating
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: new grooming standards for troops who, because of skin conditions,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: who had previously been permitted to row beards. His new
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: mantra is no more beard oze for weirdos. Actually that's
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: not what he said, but you have to admit that's
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: not bad. That's what I would give him as a line.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: This is why I do what I do. Troops under
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: thirty can volunteer to be screened, but anyone with low
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: hormone levels still have the option to receive testosterone replacement therapy,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: although we don't know what happens if they don't want to.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: And the aim is to better prepare service members. Why
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: because combat is brutal and unre relenting. Now, low testosterone
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: can cause muscle loss, fatigue, obesity, sexual dysfunction. But okay,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: now what it can have all kinds of problems and
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: a lot of men. I'm willing to bet that they're
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: huge numbers of men in the service, especially those thirty
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: forty fifty years of age or older, have a problem
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: with this. But because of the stigma, service members don't well,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: they avoid screenings for low testosterone or they don't seek
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: out hormone therapy.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: So what is it going to do? Well? The bottom
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: line is, if.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: We test for low testosterone and we give testosterone treatment
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: to our service members, we will have a better, more active,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: better prepared service person who can really fight our wars.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: How about women?
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Women also have testosterone. Now, women have testosterone at a
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: much lower level, than men unless you have women.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Hi, my name is Bruce.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Those women have perfect or high end testosterone levels. They
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: also have very short hair. They wear flannel shirts and
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: have stout shoes. As a friend of mine has often
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: described them, the bottom line is, really, come on, hexth Oh,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: and let's not forget all the senior military folks that
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: he fired and you won't promote. Even though the promotion
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: board within the military recommends promotions and the president who
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: can control or the secretary actually controls it, they always
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: listen to the board, not hexth. He decides who's going
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: to be promoted and who is not. So it's just
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: he just doesn't stop. He regularly exercises with troops. One
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: thing is is a hard body. I mean, this guy,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: for his age is an incredibly good shape, as is
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: RFK Junior. Have you ever seen the video of the
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: two of them in a gym. I mean they're outdoing
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: each other. These guys are strong, They have testosterone levels
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: that are through the roof. They are manly men, and
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: they want the other service members to be manly men. Well,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: do not point at yourself, please, okay with them? Right yeah,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: right there? Yeah, with your don't even have a six
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: pack or a twelve pack. You have a case a
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: twenty four pack case. That is I'm sorry, a keg yeah,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: as a keg. Yeah, And well here's what happens most
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: of us who are heavy, Actually we do have twelve
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: packs six packs. Underneath the fat we just cover We
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: just cover it up because we don't want people to
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: be frightened of us. Or yes, well said this is
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Will and me. All right, so much for that, heg seth,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: I did himself. I love this, I absolutely love this. Okay,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Now we talk about something that is not so much fun,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: and that's how LA's animal shelters are operating in the
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: City of the Angels. Overcrowded, rising euthanasia rates, and that's
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: a heartbreaker, conditions inside the animal shelters. And so something
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: is being done that has not been done before any place,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: and that is two of the country's largest animal welfare
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: organizations are betting they can change the system. So what
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: happened July one, La City Council approved a fourteen point
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: two million dollar partnership. Does that mean the city is
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: going to pay Nope. The American Society for the Prevention
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: of Cruelty to Animals Peta, which is also Nice Bread
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: and the Best Friends Animal Society. The two of them
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: are going to fund twenty three new positions at LA
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Animal Services and actually in bed their consultants inside the
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: City department. And what the grant is meant to do
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: is improve the care. The city has six shelters which
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: are horribly run and so it's to speed adoptions, rescue
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: placements for the fifty thousand animals that go through the
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: shelters every year, give additional support for shelter staff, all
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: of which is missing. And then the question is can
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: philanthropy help stabilize a struggling public shelter system without replacing
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: the city's responsibility to fund it. In other words, they're
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: throwing in fourteen point two million dollars that mean the
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: city can not fund or take away fourteen point two
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: million dollars and they break even noop not according to
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: what the city council said and what these two organizations
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: are involved with. And in April, Mayor a lot of
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: problems with animal shelters in the city. So in April
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Mayor Karen Bass appointed Gabriella Amster, who is a longtime
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Animal Oil for executive, and she met Gabriella in the
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: lounge at the Ghana Airport and she is the new
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: general manager. There's been two years of instability at the
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: top of the shelter system and so they're creating a
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: bunch of new positions. In twenty twenty four, Best Friends
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: released a report criticizing conditions inside the shelter and faulted
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: then general manager who had boot got booted. They also
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: withdrew six million dollars that we're going to go there
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: for support their normal donation because they say the city
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: just didn't respond to offers of assistance. So this marks
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: a big shift in strategy and it has to it
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: has to change. One of the things that is absolutely
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: the most heartbreaking is the number of animals that are euthanized.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Perfectly healthy dogs and cats are killed and even no
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: kill shelters, And here is a dirty little secret, no
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: kill shelters will euthanize animals that should be Animals that
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: are very very old, who are on their way to
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: dying anyways, Animals who are sick, animals that could be
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: repaired or could be cured, could be helped with some
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: very heavy duty veterinary care, of which there is no
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: money But here's the problem. Who determines when an animal
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: should be euthanized the veterinarian. And the way they do
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: an end around and euthanize more animals is the vet
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: says that these animals should be euthanized, and looking at
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: the program, there are way too many animals that are
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: euthanized just to cut down the numbers that are going
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: through the shelter. And so what this grant is going
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: to do is really push adoptions. The good news is
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: today buying a purebread is considered a non go. It's
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: almost it almost shames you to do that. And you're
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: proud to go to a shelter and buy a shelter dog.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: That just seems to be the way to go, and
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: that saves another animal. And you don't admit going to
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: a purebread and Neil, you're not making fun of me
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: going to a purebread dogs.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Ye, no, I thought just staring you, staring at you
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: through the screen would make you feel well.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Now, I have always had, always had shelter dogs, So
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: this is the one and only and I'm going to
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: go back to shelter dog. So I took a respite.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: But but the shame of it is that that's probably
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: one animal that's going to be euthanized. As much as
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: I make fun of eating animals and all of that, uh,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: to watch or to look at a dog, because I'm
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: a dog person, I pay particular attention to dogs. Cats
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: I don't care about. You canize all that. You can
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: euthanize all the cats you want. And too bad that
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Amy is in here, because she would absolutely get so
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: upset with me. Oh, by the way, Heather and Will
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: are looking at me rather strangely, I am leaving the
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: cats alone.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: I'm not touching.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Them on your team apparently, Yeah, I mean dog people
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: are dog I don't.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: I don't understand cat people. I really don't. Cats are
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: very smart.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Uh No, cats don't care. Cats just don't care. Dogs
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: love you. It's unconditional love.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: You of all people then should relate to cats.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: You're right, But dogs, and it doesn't matter how much
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: you beat up your dog like I do. They still
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: love you. And when my dog acts up, I'll tell
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: you what has not worked. As I play kickball with
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: my dog. It's small enough that when it acts up,
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: you can take a boot to it and it flies across
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: the wall and hits the wall with their arms splayed out.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Now soccer.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: I have become a fan of soccer. Yesterday I watch
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: England Argentina phenomenal game. People say it is boring. You
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: know what it really isn't It really isn't soccer. And
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: just to give you an idea, at SOFI, when the
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: US opened the World Cup with a four to one
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: victory over Paraguay, seventy thousand fans at SOFI. Every single
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: stadium is jammed and people are paying thousands of dollars
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: per ticket. And within ours Google trends, well, there was
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: an unprecedented spike in searches for questions like is the
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: USA good at soccer? And you know what, we have
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: become a soccer country to an extent. Not crazy. If
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: you saw yesterday's game Argentina. These are our people come
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: from Argentina and Argentinians who live here. They're out of
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: their minds. They're completely out of their minds. Just there
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: was a game in Colombia which the referee was killed. Now,
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: granted he stabbed a player to death, so that's going
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: to get the the crowd a little bit upset. But
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: when a referee blows it, oh Man it is. It
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: is really tough. So soccer has become a real thing.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: And so these google searches reveal a three stage progression.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: This is the way it's looked at. First of all,
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: discovery of the US team's even existence, okay. Then understanding
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: of the basic rules and the contextual questions about American soccer,
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: the culture, which means that the World Cup is functioning
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: as an education platform just as entertainment instead of just
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: as entertainment. And so as I watch this, I don't
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: understand the rules. People are off sides. I don't understand
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: where off size is. Red cards versus yellow cards. I
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: guess a red card is when a player kicks another
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: player in the shpilkuses. I don't know how that works.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: There's the penalty shot, there's free kicks. Man, I just
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: don't get it. The one I don't understand is yellow
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: card versus the red card. Also, I understand there's a
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: rainbow colored card for games for you know, people of
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: that crowd, you know, and there's a lot of fans
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: there too. You know, these virile young men who have
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: incredible bodies and are very fast.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: This is twice you've gone on a tangent on men's bodies.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: By the way, have I really this morning? Oh wow?
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: But are you interested in soccer cono? Are you a
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: soccer guy?
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Soccer guy?
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: No?
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Interested? Yes, I do like the sport. I have become
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: a soccer guy.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: And when you look at and these what I really
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: enjoy is the commentators right on all of these on Fox.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: That's who's carrying it in Telemundo. If you want to
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: do it in Spanish, they are. They're all former soccer players,
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: world champions, soccer players, I mean serious players, and they
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: explain strategy, they explain what is going on. And you
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: think of just a bunch of guys run up and
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: down the field and trying to score a goal. It
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: is so complicated when you think of where they go,
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: how they find openings. And of course Messi, who is
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: on the Argentinian team, is considered probably the greatest soccer
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: player that ever lived. And we have a maybe play
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: back in the fifties and sixties and it is simply
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: just to see these guys work are just incredible. Also,
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: dribbling what they call dribbling because soccer you can't use
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: your hands. It's football for real football and a little
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: confusing with US, So we can't call it football because
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: football we really call football because it is football in
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: American culture, which is a lot of non footwork, or
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: certainly the ball and feet that well, anyway, I just
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: did a great job explaining that didn't I I'm a
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: sports guy, extraordinary. But you're watching these guys, quote dribble
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: the ball. What a skill level it takes. I mean, teaze.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: These guys are good at what they do.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: I played soccer in college.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: Okay, that was I was going to go next, And
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: how was it was? You find it difficult? I'm assuming
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: you did.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: It was difficult. I actually didn't stay in it for
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: very long because my sororities said I had to choose
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: between playing soccer and my sorority, and I picked my sorority,
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: which was, in retrospect, a really stupid decision.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, soccer. Soccer has exploded here. There are soccer teams,
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: you know, professional soccer in the United State. It's been
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: around from the sixties, and you can you couldn't get
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: on major soccer tournaments two thousand people. When in the
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: stance today, if you could fill up, especially during World Cup,
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: if they had two hundred thousand seats, they would fill
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: up instantly.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: What people don't understand about soccer is the constant cardio
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: you're running. You're constantly running hour and a half.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: These guys run unless there is a unless there's high
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: and they run another half hour.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: In a massive field. Whether you're playing forward or you're
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: playing defense, you're still constantly running and moving. And that
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: takes and then you're kicking and everything. It just takes
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: a tremendous amount of cardio.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: And and and the field is much bigger than football
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: field now when you look at it closely, there is
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: a fair amount of walking to do, especially with the
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: strikers up front who are kind of waking waiting. Messi
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: for example, who is to watch him play and look
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: at what he does is incredible, Yeah, science fiction is
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: he does a fair amount of walking just waiting for
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: the ball to come to him so he can, you know,
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: pop it into the goal.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: My coach used to say he had a very thick accent.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: He was from Peru. He would go leather, go to
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: the ball, leather, leather, you go to the ball.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Well, if you've ever at just very funny.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: And yeah, there are no American coaches, by the way,
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: the American team is always coached by some foreigner who
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: has been in the game for you know, two hundred years,
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: and I think ted Lasso. If you ever watched that,
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: which is a phenomenal television what is it?
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Rojas?
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: Yes, Rojas says, he says football is life and for
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: a lot of people it is to watch the fans
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: go great. You can't hear anything that's going on. You
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: cannot hear when the commentators who are on the field,
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: and they have these directional mics that literally just cover
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: and just broadcast the words coming out of your mouth
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: and ignore everything else around them. You can hear the crowds,
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: which is impossible with a fully directional mic, and they
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: do it all right. Segment I did on soccer and
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: I'm doing the same thing this segment about soccer and
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: why well, because Americans have finally caught on in a big,
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: big way about soccer football and it is an extraordinary game.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Yesterday game between Argentina and England was simply phenomenal as
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Argentina pulled a rabbit out of a hat and it
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: was watching it and I watched it. It was wonderful.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: I still don't understand the rules and I'm certainly going
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: to look it up. Red card versus yellow card offsides.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: I don't even know how that works. In the meantime,
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: there is a story about soccer and has all kinds
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: of political and human interest implications as well, of course
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: as the issue of athletics, the athletic implications. And so
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: there's something called the hand of god Ball. And this
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: goes back to nineteen eighty six when England and Argentina
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: were playing in the middle of the Falklands War. If
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: you remember, Argentina took over the Falklands War, and it
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: was well, England just beat the crap out of Argentina.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: Well right there, they were playing a championship game for
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: the World Cup, in which Argentina won, and of course
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: that exploded all over the country. Well, the hand of
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: god Ball was a guy by the name Diego Maradona.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: He was a player for Argentina. And what he did
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: is he kicked in a goal, but he really didn't
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: kick it in.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: How he actually threw it in.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: He actually used his hand and the referees missed it
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: and it was a goal. And of course England went
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: completely or yeah, they went completely nuts, as you can imagine. Well,
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: just a few minutes later, there was the goal of
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: the century with the same ball. And this is when
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: Maradonna took that ball, same ball, and he dribbled it
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: was his feet sixty yards down the field and kicked
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: in the scoring goal. And that was considered the goal
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: of the century. And this is all on video. And
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: so how much is that ball worth? It was one
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: ball that was used through the entire game. How much
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: is it worth? Well, let me give you an idea
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: of the shirt that Diego Maradona wore during the Hand
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: of God goal and goal of the century. That one
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: shirt he wore. It sold for nine point two eight
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: million dollars. This is a jersey that was used in
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: nineteen eighty six. The ball is now up for sale.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: It's going to go, well the experts, same is going
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: to go for a minimum of ten million dollars. Now,
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: this is a deflated ball because you know, since nineteen
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: eighty six it has leaked. The bladder inside as leak.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: So it's a a deflated soccer ball, and no one
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: is going to repair it. No one is going to
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: reinflate it. Because it is a bit of a bit
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: of history and it happened in Mexico at Mexico City's
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: Ozteca Stadium, of which the Azteca Stadium was used this
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: time around. And just to give you an idea of
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: how crazy the world is about soccer, and we're catching up,
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: although I don't think we are ever ever going to
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: be where most of the world is. In Rio Deitionario,
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: there is a soccer stadium, Monica Na Stadium that has
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: since been reduced in terms of the number of seats.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: At one time it held two hundred and fifty thousand
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: spectators filling up every single time the Brazilian national team
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: played court of a million people in one Wow. The parking, well,
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: they didn't have cars down there in those days. They
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: the spectators didn't even have shoes, to be honest with you,
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: they walked there on dirt roads. I don't know if
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: that's true or not. I have no idea. Sounds good though,
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: doesn't it. Oh And the probably the best player, certainly
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: in today's world and probably ever, that's Messi, who's playing
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: for the Argentinian team. He makes in soccer over one
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: hundred million dollars a year, and that does not count
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: his endorsements. That's tell me who in American Sports makes
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: one hundred million dollars a year. That's the extent. Oh
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: and the World Cup, which is going to be Sunday
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: between Spain and Argentina will be watched by north of
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: a billion people around the world. All right, we are done.
• 25:05

• 25:11
