Patrick delivers a genuinely emotional closing segment about the power of sports to move people across all divides. He describes the AC Milan tribute video for Zlatan Ibrahimović's retirement — the Gladiator theme playing, the crowd in tears, Zlatan visibly shaking and crying — as something he's watched more than 50 times in 48 hours and can't stop returning to. He connects this to his own memory of watching Kobe Bryant score 60 points in his final NBA game in 2016, sitting in Plano, Texas, with his sister, watching a crowd weep as one of the greatest players of all time kissed the floor and walked away. He then recounts the day he learned of Kobe's death at Seasons 52 — 50 texts in two minutes, CNN and Fox confirming simultaneously — and says it 'could have been prevented.' Patrick argues that the World Cup is generating similar transcendent moments: he found himself genuinely rooting for Morocco despite his political criticisms of Islamism, because in sports, all of that falls away. He closes by urging the audience to enjoy the Fourth of July, announces Monday-Thursday podcast scheduling for the next three weeks, and repeats the merchandise promotion before signing off.
