as well. Was the big celebrations in LA for your birthday?
I saw something with musicians. Was that for you?

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Yes, it was very kind of FIFA to put that together.
For me. Spain have won the World Cup. They defeated
Argentina one nil. Who cares. That's not why I'm here
to talk to you. I respect this is the world's game,
but I am excited to talk to you about the
celebrities and the fanfare. It all kicked off pregame with

(00:42):
this elaborate closing ceremony, led by none other than Tom Cruise.
Of course, he gave an impassioned opening statement on celebrating
greatness more then thirty days ago, forty eight.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
Nations began a journey. They crossed oceans, they crossed borders,
they christ cultures, and together they showed us why this
game belongs to the world. Okay, thanks Tom.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
That was followed up by Jennifer Hudson on Anthem Judy's
who obviously killed It? Post Malone performed, Robbie Williams performed
a new song with Nicole Scherzinger was he caut Doll's fame,
but it was really the A lot of people are
talking about Robbie Williams with something that fell out of
his schnutz. That's it was on the internet.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
Seen that footage there was unfortunately happened. Well we'll say
no more because it's probably the tits. Yeah, it could
have been anything, would have been anything.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
He doesn't have anything in this for decades. But there
was a halftime show.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Yes, so normally there's not halftime is there? This is new,
isn't it This FIFA doesn't normally do this.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
The first ever World Cup final halftime show, and I
think speaks to the host nation or one of the
three host nations, the US of hopefully a bit of
a teaser of what we can expect from the LA
Olympics in twenty twenty eight. They put this whole thing together.
It was curated by Coldplays Chris Martin. He called up
his friends Justin Bieber, Madonna, Shakira and BTS and they

(02:15):
all performed. We had several muppets who were on stage
as well, playing all sorts of instruments. But it kicked
off with Madonna, who arrived in a June Buggy alongside
Brazilian soccer legends Ronaldo and Ronaldsino. She opened with a
funk DJ version of her two thousands hit music. Of
course she wasn't singing live, but here's what it sounded like. Yeah,

(02:45):
so that's not live. Oh, I don't think anyone's heard
Adonna seing live since the eighties. Elton John will be
just throwing stuff at his TV. Well, she looked good
and that's all that matters. But then we did have
some live vocals from Justin Bieber. He was introduced by
Ted Lasso. Jason Sadeikis hoxed up the part and did

(03:06):
a little bit. Listen to me go out there. Don't
be nervous, don't he's watched.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
Okay, make us proud? Should I don't.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
Write this song? We're just one'll do pass hallelu hallelu baby.
Just look at your hallelujah. Wow. It's very super Bowl.
Want to be more.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Tom cruise in there.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
They crossed oceans, they crossed borders, Kira. Then we got
a choir from a school that was conducted by the
director of the La Philharmonic. Then Chris Martin came on
there was this eleven minute fanfare, pyrotechniques, you name it.
It was all going on and watched by none on
of them, Jay Z and Beyonce in the crowd, Matt Damon,

(03:54):
John Ham, Timothy Challamay, Kylie Jenner, David Beckham, Donald Trump,
they were all there. And to finish up, I wanted
to tell you that we should be thinking of Drake today,
not just the Argentinians, because Drake lost two and a
half million dollars after betting on Argentina in the final.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
Oh he started from the bottom and now he's nowhere.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
