Messi Thrills as Arrowhead Shines, Tickets Available for $69, Cup News Nationwide is Wild, B12 Lawsuit Ballsy, Trump Stars at G7, JD Tour is Silly, Fast Food Rankings Fail

from Kevin Kietzman Has Issues · host Kevin Kietzman

Argentina's soccer star Lionel Messi had a match for the ages Tuesday night at Arrowhead as he started quickly with a goal that was taken away by an offside call. So he proceded to score three more! All three in the match to be accurate as Argentina and it's 50,000 or so fans at Arrowhead went wild watching a 3-0 win over Algeria. It was spectacular. But how many Kansas Citians were there remains a bit of a mystery and doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things. KC residents turned out everywhere Tuesday for free fan events and watch parties and we're clearly finding our stride. There were shots of some empty seats at Arrowhead even though 500 million people were watching on tv globally, and a Sports Illustrated writer posted a screenshot from a ticket service two hours before the start that had tickets for $69. We cover all the stories, all over the country on today's episode. The Big 12's lawsuit filed against Ken Paxton and Texas Tech was just a stone cold killer. The suit had nothing to do with the gambling quarterback, wait until you hear what their rock star law firm dialed up for the conference. President Trump stars at the G7 and touts peace, low oil prices and a skyrocketing stock market. Then he just hammers Obama. JD Vance's book tour is not going well. It's not a disaster but I just don't understand what he's doing right now. The annual fast food customer service rankings are out and for the first time in over a decade, Chik Fil A is not the winner. And our Final Final is a new report on the astounding growth of podcast listening in America.
