Jeff and Charlie discussed Tom Brady's comments following Argentina's remarkable comeback against Egypt in the World Cup Round of 16. Jon Blau, an LSU football reporter for The Advocate, joined Sports Talk. Blau reviewed the return of "swagger" to the Tigers' program. He shared his thoughts on LSU's offensive line, TE Trey'Dez Green, and the Tigers' projections in 2026.
Today's Headlines: The US lost to Belgium 4-1 in the World Cup Round of 16 despite Trump personally calling FIFA to get Balogun's red card suspension reversed, which worked, and Belgium won anyway — so the meddling was both successful and pointless. On the election beat, Graham Platner, who won Maine's Democratic Senate primary a few weeks ago despite a Nazi tattoo is now facing a heavily corroborated sexual assault allegation so severe that nearly every major backer including Hasan Piker and Ro Khanna immediately called for him to drop out — Democrats have until July 27th to find a replacement if he exits by July 13th, which they should probably get moving on since Maine is a must-win Senate seat. In other news, Trump is headed to the NATO summit in Turkey this week, which he only agreed to attend because it's hosted by Erdogan, one of his last real NATO allies, with Netanyahu already lobbying him ahead of arrival to rein in Erdogan's anti-Israel rhetoric. Trump also rang the stock market opening bell from the Oval Office to celebrate the launch of Trump Savings Accounts, which devolved into rants about crypto, Biden, and World Cup red cards, and the preliminary hearing for Tyler Robinson — the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk last September — began yesterday in Utah, with Erika Kirk, Charlie Kirk's parents, Donald Trump Jr., and Jack Posobiec all in the courtroom. Meanwhile, the DOJ accidentally sent the sealed second volume of Jack Smith's classified documents report — the one Trump has spent over a year keeping hidden — to the defense lawyers of the former prosecutor currently being prosecuted for leaking that exact report, and the only reason it's still secret is because her lawyers were more careful with it than the government was. On AI, Meta's AI safety strategy involves paying adults to pretend to be teenagers and feed suicide and sex prompts to competitor chatbots, which they describe as "comprehensive AI safety benchmarking," and OpenAI is reportedly offering the US government a 5% stake in the company. Finally, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei's funeral drew over a million people this week while his son and successor Mojtaba — wounded in the airstrike that killed his father — didn't attend any of the ceremonies. It's giving Mitch energy.

The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 3 (7.6) Lou Penrose fills in for Tim Conway Jr. and opens with a feel-good phenomenon blowing up online: Europeans are stunned by American hospitality. Instead of the rudeness they were told to expect, tourists are discovering a warm, welcoming culture — and it's sparking massive debate. A German man literally cried, having been made to believe the U.S. was unsafe and nothing but shootings. Turns out Americans aren't rude at all. Have you ever picked up the tab for a stranger? The viral wave rolls on: strangers are covering the bills of international travelers, from an Irish couple to that German guy who now LOVES America. Europeans are gushing over everyday Americana — gas station culture, diners, the works. Meanwhile, Team USA crashes out of the World Cup Round of 16 alongside hosts Mexico and Canada. And Kraft cashes in on the World Cup ranch-dressing craze with a limited-edition "TSA-Compliant Ranch" travel kit. Plus Lou does the French fry math — 46 in a small, 62 in a medium, 100 in a large — and the verdict is clear: always go large. Then Lou looks at the stars. Mount Rushmore's 250th anniversary, the USAF Academy Band steals the holiday weekend, and scientists spotlight a new Earth-like planet just 25 light-years away sitting in the "Goldilocks Zone" — not too hot, not too cold, just right for liquid water and maybe life. Plus, a food-safety reality check: the 2-hour rule, the bacteria "danger zone," and why that "sell-by" date isn't what you think. And Domino's "Best Deal Ever" — ANY pizza, any toppings, $9.99.

The Iberian Derby did not disappoint as Christian Polanco and Alexis Guerreros bring you an immediate live reaction to Spain's dramatic 1-0 victory over Portugal in the World Cup Round of 16. La Roja's impenetrable defense locked down yet another opponent, extending their incredible clean-sheet streak and booking a spot in the quarterfinals. The hosts heavily criticize Portugal manager Roberto Martinez for his lack of tactical bravery, particularly his decision to relegate a dangerous Rafael Leão to the bench while forcing an immobile 41-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo into the full 90 minutes. On the flip side, they heap praise on Spain's Mikel Merino, who showcased the ultimate clutch gene by scoring the game-winner just five minutes after subbing into the match. The conversation then evolves into a deeper debate about legacy as the guys reflect on the end of Cristiano Ronaldo's storied World Cup run. They compare his unceremonious exit to Neymar's recent emotional departure with Brazil, examining how neutrals view the final chapters of these aging icons. In their signature "Stock Up, Stock Down" segment, Christian and Alexis breakdown why Lamine Yamal and Ferran Torres are riding high for Spain , while the entire Portuguese midfield—specifically Bruno Fernandes and Vitinha—sees their stock plummet after failing to find any offensive cohesion on the pitch. To close out the show, the guys look ahead to the USMNT's monumental knockout match against Belgium. Alexis details how a U.S. victory without starting Folarin Balogun would send a massive statement of respect to the global footballing community , and explains why he prefers to see Ricardo Pepi lead the line from the start. Finally, the show wraps up with a look at some wild fan comments and immediate reaction to breaking news that FIFA has officially fined Balogun $40,000 for his controversial red card incident.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Friday. Real_G Warner closes out the World Cup Round of 32 with a full betting breakdown before diving into a stacked Major League Baseball card ahead of the July 4th holiday weekend. The episode opens on the soccer pitch with Australia and Egypt in Dallas, where Real_G leans toward a low scoring affair and a cleanly priced Egypt moneyline, before shifting to Cape Verde and Argentina, a matchup he expects to stay under the total even as Cape Verde's improbable tournament run continues. The soccer preview wraps with Ghana and Colombia, where Real_G questions whether Colombia's attack can find its rhythm against a Ghana defense that already shut down England, while flagging rising moneyline value on a potential Ghana advance. From there the show moves into baseball, working through the entire MLB slate one matchup at a time, including St. Louis and Andre Pallante visiting the Cubs and David Peterson, Pittsburgh's Mitch Keller against Washington's Foster Griffin, Minnesota's Mike Paredes facing Gerrit Cole and the Yankees, Chicago's Anthony Kay against Cleveland's Gavin Williams, Baltimore's Trevor Rogers on the road against a struggling Reds club, the Mets and Christian Scott visiting Atlanta, San Francisco's Logan Webb against Colorado's Ryan Feltner, Tampa Bay's Nick Martinez against Houston's Spencer Arrighetti, Boston's Jake Bennett against the Angels and Reid Detmers, Miami's Tyler Phillips against Jack Perkins and the Athletics, Milwaukee's Kyle Harrison against Arizona's Jose Cabrera, and Toronto's Dylan Cease on the road against Seattle's Luis Castillo. The centerpiece of the baseball portion is San Diego and Michael King on the road against Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers, where Real_G explains why the run line offers far better value than an inflated moneyline number on King. The episode closes with the official What I Bet best bet, sending listeners into the holiday weekend with the Padres and Michael King on the run line at plus one and a half, along with a look back at recent results that has the show sitting at five wins and three losses over its last eight picks. Before the pick is revealed, Real_G shares a July 4th promo code for Pregame.com, offering holiday weekend access from Wednesday through Monday across every pick in every sport for seventy seven dollars using code HOTDOG12, giving listeners full coverage heading into one of the busiest sports weekends of the summer.
