00:01So guys, David will be with us shortly.
00:04Great, Gabriella, thanks.
00:05Sir David.
00:05Sir David, exactly. He's arriving.
00:07Right.
00:07Great man.
00:08Monday morning at the headquarters of the 2026 oversight team in Miami.
00:12Okay, so he's here.
00:13Right.
00:21Yeah, er...
00:22Great.
00:24When you say he's here...
00:25His name is here.
00:26Okay.
00:26Well, that's something, I guess.
00:28Yes, it's a big name.
00:29And in the meeting room, a very special virtual meeting is nearly about to happen.
00:34I am going to log out and log back in again.
00:35Right.
00:36Yeah, so you're sure that's actually going to help?
00:37I'm doing it, yes?
00:38Yeah, er...
00:39I am doing it.
00:39Right.
00:40Okay.
00:40This week sees the traditional unveiling of Sir David Beckham as f***er's official ambassador
00:45and talisman for the 2026 tournament.
00:48And this morning, they're about to be joined by the great man himself, and his US agent
00:53manager and mouthpiece, Amy Huffman.
00:55So they're here now.
00:56They're coming.
00:56He's here.
00:59Hey, guys.
01:01Yes, hi.
01:01Hey, Gabrielle.
01:02Great to see you, as always.
01:04Exactly, yes.
01:04Good to see you too, Amy.
01:06Hey, David.
01:07Hey, Amy.
01:07How are you?
01:08I'm good, yeah, I'm good.
01:10Great.
01:11So I believe we're not actually seeing you at the moment.
01:14Oh, okay.
01:15No, we're not.
01:16No.
01:16Do you have your camera turned on?
01:18Yeah, yeah, I think so.
01:19Er, yeah, I have.
01:20Okay.
01:21Um.
01:22I can see you guys.
01:23Okay.
01:23Oh.
01:25Hello.
01:25Hello, David.
01:26Hello, David.
01:27Yeah, really good to meet everybody.
01:28Right, so.
01:29Yeah, hi, David.
01:30Good to see you.
01:31Right.
01:31Oh, what, so you can't see me now?
01:33What?
01:34No.
01:34No, we're still not seeing you, David.
01:36No.
01:37No, I'm just saying, you know, it's good to see you.
01:39Yeah, what?
01:40So, David, so I am going to log out and log back in again.
01:42Yeah.
01:43Really?
01:43Sorry, guys, I'm a bit confused about what's happening now.
01:46Yeah, so, hi, David.
01:47Welcome to our world.
01:49So, according to their own estimate, okay, the 2026 World Cup is going to put 3.7 million
01:56tons of carbon into the atmosphere.
01:58That is the equivalent of ten major rainforests.
02:01Like, we only have nine left.
02:04Plus, with climate change, we know, all of this shit affects women more than men, right?
02:09Always.
02:10For all the reasons we know.
02:11It's like, thanks, guys.
02:13Good job.
02:14Great work.
02:14And it is on all of us, right, to call this shit out.
02:20Call this shit out.
02:23Okay, so.
02:24Okay.
02:25Right now, they're at three million subscribers.
02:28Okay, three million.
02:28But that's growing every week.
02:30Right.
02:30It's like hashtag call this shit out, right?
02:32Right.
02:33Call this shit out.
02:34Like, you probably never heard of it, right?
02:36Well, you know.
02:36Right, like, you probably really should.
02:38Right.
02:39Absolutely.
02:39Meanwhile, VP Sustainability and Climate Strategy Sarah Campbell is in the social media space,
02:45where she's been alerted to a potential thing by social media team thought leader Madison Flynn.
02:50So, Alicia Bird.
02:51So, they're based here in Miami.
02:53Oh.
02:53Right.
02:54Okay.
02:55So, she's like an activist, right?
02:57I mean...
02:57Okay, so it's they.
02:58Okay.
02:59Excuse me?
03:00Alicia's non-binary.
03:01Oh.
03:01Okay.
03:02Right.
03:02Forgive me.
03:03So, they activate about...
03:05Like, there's a lot of environmental stuff.
03:08Right.
03:08Obviously.
03:08But it's pretty much anything.
03:09Right?
03:10Okay.
03:10It's like, there is so much shit in the world.
03:12It's everywhere.
03:14Like, it's literally all around us.
03:15Absolutely.
03:16It's like, call this shit out.
03:17Like, they've totally hit a vibe here.
03:19Billie Eilish has started following her.
03:21Okay.
03:21Reposting whatever, plus a bunch of other people.
03:23Right.
03:24Following them.
03:24Excuse me?
03:25Billie Eilish has started following them.
03:27Yeah, they've totally hit a vibe right here.
03:29Right.
03:30This is a thing, right?
03:31Yes.
03:31It's out there.
03:32Absolutely.
03:32And now you know about it, right?
03:33Absolutely.
03:34Yes.
03:34Right.
03:35So, look.
03:35I don't want to speak on David's behalf here, but you guys should know, right?
03:39We are so excited to be working with F***a again, Eric.
03:42Exactly so.
03:43Honestly, this is so great.
03:45Oh, absolutely, yeah.
03:46100%.
03:47Sure.
03:47Yeah, no, look.
03:48What can I say?
03:48It's a privilege.
03:50Well, you say that, David.
03:51It's a privilege for us, right?
03:52Well, yes, exactly.
03:53Without a doubt.
03:54So, that's all good.
03:55So, look.
03:55It's great to see you.
03:56Not literally on this occasion, sadly.
03:58Back in the meeting room, with the David Beckham experience coming to a close,
04:02it's time for everybody to wave at each other like children and say goodbye.
04:06Bye, Sir David.
04:06Bye.
04:07Bye-bye, Sir David.
04:08Bye, guys.
04:08Take care.
04:11Okay, well, are they gone?
04:12Sure.
04:12Good, just checking.
04:13So, that seemed to go okay in the end.
04:15Sure.
04:15You're right.
04:16What a guy, eh?
04:17Yeah, so, anyway, Gabriella, if you could send the draft scheduled for Thursday over to
04:20David and to Amy.
04:22Okay, so I have to send that.
04:23Great.
04:23And to Zurich as well, Eric?
04:25Of course.
04:25Zurich.
04:26Just for feedback, in case they have any ahead of Thursday.
04:28Exactly.
04:28Okay.
04:29I mean, just as a courtesy, really, Eric.
04:31Exactly so.
04:32Okay, good.
04:33So...
04:33What kind of feedback?
04:34So, we can say the president is a man for detail, as we know.
04:38Well, yes.
04:39Yeah, right.
04:39We know he's been thinking a lot about David, for instance.
04:42Right.
04:43Huh.
04:43About David?
04:44For example, yes.
04:46Okay.
04:46What do you mean, thinking about David?
04:48Yes.
04:48We're all thinking about David.
04:49Well, exactly.
04:50Yes.
04:50Yeah, so what does that mean, then, thinking about David?
04:53Well, exactly.
04:53What should it mean?
04:54Should it mean someone like Megan Rapinoe instead?
04:58Perhaps.
04:59For example.
04:59Right.
05:00Okay.
05:00Well, there you go.
05:02Megan Rapinoe.
05:03As I say, this is just an idea.
05:04Huh.
05:05Well, but hang on.
05:06You're kidding.
05:06Oh, my God.
05:07Megan Rapinoe.
05:08You're not serious.
05:09Again.
05:09You mean, instead of David?
05:10Dios mio.
05:11Again, this is just an example.
05:12Well, yes, but I mean...
05:13Megan Rapinoe is not just an example.
05:15What?
05:15Megan Rapinoe is a genius.
05:16No?
05:17Yeah.
05:17What?
05:20Oh, I can't even cry.
05:24Meanwhile, with the meeting now threatening to go on longer than originally scheduled,
05:29Executive Assistant Will Humphreys is already hard at work in the kitchen in a bid to get
05:33ahead of the game with his caffeine duties.
05:35You need help?
05:36Yeah, no, yeah, no, yeah.
05:37So, do you like to know where the new coffee pods are?
05:39Sure.
05:41And at the same time, fellow Executive Assistant Emily Nash is on a similar mission all of
05:46her own.
05:59I'm sorry, guys.
06:00I'm sorry, Eric.
06:01But for me, this is Paul thinking we're in a great position with David.
06:04Okay, so...
06:05The guy's a legend on and off the pitch, one of the finest dead ball kickers of all time,
06:08without question.
06:09Well, let's...
06:10Okay, so what we do is, we can change the optics here completely, yes?
06:13What?
06:14I mean, Eric, perhaps you can talk us through Zurich's thinking here.
06:17In the meeting room, it's starting to look as if the signs are suddenly pointing towards
06:21ex-American star footballer and style icon Megan Rapinoe, instead of ex-British star footballer
06:27and style icon David Beckham as official FIFA ambassador for the 2026 tournament.
06:33So, of course, we love David.
06:35Right.
06:35How can you not?
06:36For so many of us, here's the sun we could never quite have.
06:38Yeah, exactly.
06:39Well...
06:39Thank you, Emily.
06:41With Qatar, there was a moment in the sand, and it was David, of course, but what we know
06:44about sand is that it is shifting underneath us all the time, yes?
06:48Right.
06:48Perhaps we are in a different moment today.
06:50Si.
06:50Maybe we have a new story to tell?
06:52Si, exacto.
06:53So with Rapinoe, you are talking about the future, yes?
06:56Okay.
06:56You are not talking about the past.
06:57The future of the women's game, fine.
06:59Okay.
06:59Which is great, by the way.
07:00Yeah, right.
07:01Yes, no, of course.
07:02Exactly.
07:02So the future of the women's game is the future of the men's game, yes?
07:05Exactly, sir.
07:06Huh.
07:07So, Eric.
07:08Yes, hi, Will, come in.
07:09So, Eric, just to be clear about this, because there's a lot to process here.
07:12With global attention focused on Thursday's announcement, they're aware that there's
07:17a lot still to get right, and potentially even more to get wrong.
07:20I mean, so just to be clear, are you saying, then, Eric, thanks for all of that?
07:24No, that's fine, thanks.
07:28Yes, it is.
07:29No, really, that's fine, thanks.
07:30Okay, cool.
07:31I mean, just to clarify, Eric, exactly where we are here.
07:33Sure, okay.
07:34I mean, one thing we do know is we're three days away from this, so we have to be absolutely
07:38clear about what we're doing and why we're doing it.
07:40Yeah, that'd be something, right?
07:41Okay, you want to know where we are here?
07:43Well.
07:43I'll tell you where we are.
07:44Where we are here is, this was a fucking banana race.
07:47Right.
07:47A banana race.
07:48Right, and no one told us.
07:49Okay, well.
07:49Turns out, we backed a fugazi.
07:52Right.
07:52That's where we are.
07:53Yes, right.
07:54Good.
08:00Will.
08:01Yeah, hi, yeah.
08:01I was trying to find you.
08:02Yeah, I dunno.
08:03With the meeting over, Ian has found Will in the kitchen.
08:06I thought you might want this back.
08:07Yeah, no crap, yeah.
08:08It's a bit sticky.
08:09Okay.
08:09I'm not sure if they're cappuccino proof.
08:11I mean, they probably are.
08:12Yeah, no worries, yeah.
08:13Crap.
08:14Also, whilst I'm here, I just wanted to say, actually.
08:16Yeah, I know, yeah.
08:17No, hang on, wait.
08:18I wanted to say, you don't need to apologise for yourself, generally, I mean.
08:21Okay, sorry.
08:22I mean, everyone knows who you are now.
08:24Yeah, I know.
08:24No, I'm saying that's a good thing.
08:25Oh, okay.
08:26Okay.
08:26You're my assistant.
08:27I mean, I don't quite know how that happened, but you are.
08:28It's official.
08:29So it's okay to act like you are.
08:30Okay, cool.
08:31Yeah, I mean, what are you doing in here, emptying the dishwasher, for example?
08:35Well, yeah, I dunno.
08:35It was B-Pink?
08:37Yes, well, anyway.
08:38Also, once we're on the subject, if it's okay with you...
08:40Yeah, cool, yeah.
08:40No, hang on, I haven't said it yet.
08:41Okay.
08:42If it's okay with you, I was going to put your contact details on my page on the website,
08:46and all my work social media from now on.
08:48Okay.
08:48It would be good for people to have a first point of contact, then we can have a system.
08:51Okay, cool.
08:51Yes, but when I tried to add you, it wouldn't let me for some reason.
08:54Right.
08:54Just checking, you've got everything set up correctly.
08:56Yeah, no, say again.
08:57You know, with your oversight account and everything.
09:00Yeah.
09:01Right.
09:03Yeah, no worries, yeah, cool.
09:06So she's young, yes?
09:08She is...
09:08They, excuse me?
09:09They are, exactly.
09:10Yes, they're young, they're Gen Z, they have their own channel, and they want to change the world.
09:14We all want to change the world, right?
09:15I want to change the world.
09:16Yeah, me too.
09:17Exactly.
09:17So you go over there, you appear on the podcast live, and you tell your story to 3 million subscribers.
09:22Not her story.
09:23Right.
09:23Not their story.
09:24Exactly, no, ours.
09:26Right.
09:26This is what I am saying.
09:27Yes.
09:28Right.
09:28I'm glad we got that straightened out.
09:29Meanwhile, Sarah is with VP Logistics and Execution, Owen Mitchell, and VP Optics and Narrative, Gabriela De La Rosa.
09:37So we've been working on this for a while now.
09:38Huh.
09:39With a strategy taking shape for how to respond to activist Alicia Bird's Call This Shit Out podcast, she's taking
09:45them through some ideas her team has come up with.
09:47Okay.
09:48Wooden toothbrush.
09:49Right.
09:50Huh.
09:50Made from 100% recycled floorboards.
09:52Yeah.
09:53Sure.
09:54Perfect.
09:54Absolutely, right?
09:57Adios mio.
09:58Oh, so they are really cool.
09:59Oh, my God.
10:00Is this?
10:01Biodegradable condoms.
10:02Jesus.
10:03Oh, my God.
10:03That's so cool.
10:05So, we're looking at products that are relevant to the lives of these young men from all over the world,
10:09and we give each player their own earth bag.
10:11Why not?
10:11And what we're saying is, you guys can make a difference.
10:14Right.
10:14Exactly.
10:15This is the perfect story to tell.
10:17Just out of interest, did you guys ever consider biodegradable toothbrushes and wooden condoms?
10:21What?
10:21Yeah, because, you know, that really would be something, right?
10:23Okay, so if that's not actually funny, no.
10:26No.
10:26Right.
10:32Elsewhere, Ian has gone to touch base with FIFA Chief Coordinating AttachƩ, Eric Van Der Putrens.
10:38Do you happen to know how long he's going to be?
10:39So, actually, I don't.
10:41Right, no.
10:41Would you like a chair?
10:42No, thanks.
10:50Oh, my God.
10:52Oh, my God.
10:53Like, you look amazing.
10:55Oh, my God.
10:55Like, it's not me, it's the power of Megan, right?
10:57Totally.
10:58Spread the pink.
10:59Meanwhile, with news spreading that Megan Rapinoe is favourite to be the new 2026 official ambassador,
11:06social media team thought leader Madison Flynn and her team have come up with an epic idea.
11:11It would be, like, millions of people posting pictures of themselves Rapinoe'd.
11:14Right.
11:14Right, like, whoever they are, whatever they're doing, wherever they are in the world, right?
11:17Oh, my God, like, I would totally do that, right?
11:18Right, me too.
11:19We get this out there.
11:20We drop it.
11:21With the announcement.
11:22I mean, right?
11:23Hashtag spread the pink.
11:24Like, right, right, right?
11:26Yeah, right, right.
11:27This is huge.
11:28Like, this could be way bigger than COVID, right?
11:29Yeah, right.
11:30Like, I can totally see that.
11:31Yeah, right, right, right.
11:33Ian.
11:34Yes, hi.
11:35I'm sorry, have you been there waiting long?
11:36Oh, well, you never.
11:37Then again, we know that time will pass, whether we are waiting for it or not, yes?
11:40Yes.
11:41Please.
11:42Thank you, Emily.
11:43Back over in the real world, meanwhile, Ian has finally made it all the way into Eric's office.
11:47He's keen to clarify a few things in relation to Thursday's ambassador announcement.
11:52So, just to be absolutely clear about this, are you, actually, could we turn this down
11:56a bit?
11:57Ah, is there no case?
11:57Of course.
11:58It's just a bit of a look to, you know, absolutely, yes.
12:00Great, thanks.
12:01Yes.
12:02So, just to be absolutely clear, are you saying that Zurich has actually been in contact with
12:07Megan Rapinoe about this?
12:08Well, so, we can say this is a dynamic situation as we speak.
12:12Right, okay.
12:13What we know is that the president is his own man.
12:16Yes, well, that's great.
12:17In fact, I believe it was Yoko Ono who actually suggested the idea to him.
12:21Yoko Ono?
12:22I believe so.
12:23Yes, well, okay.
12:24Actually, no, I am going to ask this, what was he doing with Yoko Ono?
12:27Well, so, they are all friends, of course.
12:30Of course, yes.
12:30Truly an extraordinary woman.
12:32Yes, well, anyway, but just to be clear about one thing.
12:35No, of course.
12:35There are a number of ways this could play out, quite a lot of them not good.
12:38Well, one thing I know isn't going to happen, I'm not doing this.
12:41Ah, yes.
12:41I'm not telling David.
12:42Yes.
12:42If this is Zurich's decision, fine, that's great.
12:45Completely.
12:45But it's their duty to speak with him and deal with it.
12:47No, completely.
12:48And that needs to happen now.
12:49Then we can say, that is without question something that can be done.
12:54Right.
12:55Exactly so.
12:56Ah, I did actually.
12:58You live in your playground, yeah?
12:59Yeah.
13:00Yes.
13:17Well, I mean, it's lovely, obviously.
13:19Well, thank you, Ian.
13:20No, really.
13:20I mean, it's got a really nice feel.
13:23I will say, so, there are fancier apartments, but what you want is somewhere that feels like
13:27a safe space to come back to, right?
13:29Yes.
13:30Well, I meanā¦
13:30When you come in, whatever else is happening in the world.
13:32Yes, yes.
13:33No, it's great.
13:33It's Wednesday morning, and in a busy week, Sarah has found time before work to show Ian
13:39around the condo she moved to with her daughter Lily two years ago, when she left her then-husband
13:44after finding out some things.
13:46Well, so, in terms of the practicalitiesā¦
13:48Sure.
13:49Because we haven't really talked about that.
13:50Absolutely.
13:52Yeah, so, I mean, what are the practicalities?
13:54Right.
13:54So, I moved out already, as you know.
13:56Okay.
13:57It was always supposed to be temporary.
13:58Right.
13:59So, now it's going to be sold.
14:00At least, I thought it was, but it turns out there are some technicalities around that,
14:05legally, which I didn't know about, and which are taking some time.
14:09Right.
14:10I won't get into the details, if that's okay with you.
14:12No, of course.
14:13This stuff is complicated, right?
14:15Yes.
14:15But, in the meantime, it's here, right?
14:18Yes.
14:18Right, soā¦
14:20So, just to say, from my point of view, though, it would all have to be, you knowā¦
14:24Oh, my gosh.
14:24You know, I absolutely wouldn't want any specialā¦
14:27Oh, my gosh.
14:27That's so British.
14:28Well, okay, but anyway, stillā¦
14:30So, we're both grown-ups here, right?
14:32Yes, well, I meanā¦
14:33Neither of us planned this.
14:34Yes, you meanā¦
14:35This condo is empty.
14:36Right.
14:37For whatever reasons.
14:38Yes.
14:39There's this British guy in Miami looking for somewhere.
14:41Yes.
14:41Like I said, neither of us planned it this way, but sometimesā¦
14:44Yes.
14:44ā¦it's like, why would this not happen, right?
14:48Yes.
14:51Okay, so thisā¦
14:53Woo!
14:54Hey, nice catch.
14:55This is a genuine, bona fide, officialā¦
14:582026 soccer ball.
14:59Okay.
15:00And it could be yours, right?
15:01Yeah.
15:01All you have to do is agree to get Rapino'd today.
15:04Rapino'd?
15:04Right.
15:04Because starting today, we are going to Rapinify the worldā¦
15:07Okay.
15:08Rapino.
15:09One person at a time.
15:10Rapino.
15:11Number one.
15:12Spread the Pink.
15:12In the meantime, the social media team have been out trialing their new Spread the Pink campaign
15:17in the real IRL.
15:19I don't want the soccer ball.
15:20Okay, cool.
15:21Like, why would I?
15:22Okay, it's gone.
15:22Woo!
15:23Like, I get it.
15:23Like, I get Megan Rapino, she's great.
15:25But I kind of like my hair the way it is, you know?
15:27Right, right, right.
15:27Like, it's part of who I am.
15:29Right, like, I like your hair too.
15:30We love your hair.
15:31Like, I like my hair too, right?
15:33Right.
15:33And I did it, right?
15:34Right.
15:35I mean, right, right?
15:37Right.
15:38Right.
15:41Okay, soā¦
15:42That's it?
15:43Yeah, I meanā¦
15:44That's all we've got?
15:45Right, so this is like a tryout.
15:47Right, like this was just like this super random guy, right?
15:48Totally.
15:49Megan Rapinoe's here tomorrow.
15:50Right.
15:51Megan Rapinoe will be here.
15:53Right, so this is like proof of concept, right?
15:55Proof of concept?
15:57Yeah, right, right, right.
15:57There's half a million people in this city.
15:59Right, so what this shows is you literally only need one guy to say yes here, right?
16:03What?
16:03One guy.
16:04Literally.
16:05Yeah, right, right, right.
16:20Crap.
16:27Will?
16:29Yeah, no crap.
16:30You okay?
16:32Well, yeah, I don't know.
16:32It won't accept my face.
16:33Okay.
16:34Later in the day, it's the afternoon, and Will Humphreys is busy trying to activate his official
16:38oversight email account as Ian's actual assistant.
16:41You set up facial recognition already, right?
16:43Well, yeah, I don't know.
16:44Like, it says hello face, but it won't accept it.
16:46Fortunately for him, social media sentiment curator Mia So isn't far away.
16:51Okay, cool.
16:53You're looking right at the camera.
16:54Okay.
16:55Okay, so eyes open.
16:57Okay, crap, yeah.
16:58Okay, just analyzing your features here.
17:00Okay.
17:01Thanks.
17:02Software.
17:03Yeah, no crap.
17:05Okay, you're all done.
17:07Okay.
17:07You're accepted.
17:08You're all set.
17:09Cool.
17:10So there's nothing wrong with your face, right?
17:13Yeah.
17:14Like, whenever I have my photo taken, I always look the same.
17:17Okay.
17:18Cool.
17:19So, that's a bad thing.
17:21Yeah.
17:22Okay.
17:23Well, yeah, I think so, yeah.
17:24Right.
17:34She has landed already.
17:35She is here.
17:36Well, that's good news.
17:37Excellent.
17:37It's Thursday, and Ian is on his way across town.
17:40She loves Spread the Bank.
17:42Oh my God, she loves it.
17:43Right.
17:43So that turned out to be quite a good idea in the end.
17:45Exactly, yes.
17:46So this is my job, no?
17:47Yes, good.
17:47With Gabriela stationed at the airport to meet incoming 2026 Ambassador Megan Rapinoe,
17:53this is a big day for the game of soccer, for f***er, and for optics everywhere.
17:57So, look.
17:58Oh my God, I can see her.
17:59Right.
17:59She is here.
18:00I can see her pink hair.
18:01Right, so I'll...
18:01Hola, Megan!
18:03I'll...
18:03I'll...
18:05I'll make sure everyone's...
18:06Oh, she's gone.
18:08Right, okay, good.
18:13By 10 o'clock, Ian has arrived at the Craftsman Centre for Performative Culture and Arts in Brickell.
18:19Eric, it's Ian.
18:20Just to say I've arrived.
18:21Not sure if you're here already.
18:22Or whether you've heard that Megan has landed, which is a relief, obviously.
18:26But Jesus Christ.
18:27Anyway, I'm here, so give me a call or message me, and we'll speak soon.
18:32Okay, bye.
18:33Will!
18:33Yeah, hi, Ian.
18:34So I got here early?
18:35Yes.
18:36Yes, like I found out where the coffee is and they gave me your lanyard for you?
18:38Great, thanks.
18:38Yeah, it's for your neck.
18:40Yes.
18:41So, I mean, obviously this is none of my business, but I mean, what happened with the...
18:45What?
18:46Yeah, no.
18:46I mean, when I said you don't need to apologise for yourself, I didn't necessarily mean dyeing
18:50your hair pink.
18:50Well, yeah, I know.
18:51Yeah, like it was Mia's idea.
18:52Right, okay.
18:53Yes, like how to pretend to be like this ordinary guy.
18:56Ordinary?
18:56Yeah, like on the street, like for this video, Spread the Pink.
18:58Yes.
18:59Well, it's one way of making yourself visible, I suppose.
19:01Yeah.
19:01I mean, not that it doesn't suit you, obviously.
19:03But yeah, I don't know.
19:03Yeah, that's what David said.
19:04Yes, right.
19:05David who?
19:05Yeah, so David Beckham.
19:06David Beckham.
19:07Yeah, I know you're pretty cool.
19:09He's here.
19:09He's fucking here.
19:11Right.
19:11Okay.
19:12Yeah, I've actually got some coffee for him.
19:13That's why I know where it is.
19:16Thanks for having me.
19:18Yeah.
19:18So, I'm here with Head of Sustainability and Climate Strategy for the 2026 World Cup,
19:24Sarah Campbell.
19:26Absolutely.
19:26Sarah, thanks for coming on the show today.
19:28Absolutely.
19:28It's nice to be here.
19:30Great.
19:30So, as we know, the 2026 World Cup is going to be hosted by the US, Canada and Mexico
19:35and is going to be one of the biggest environmental disasters in like forever.
19:39Meanwhile, VP Sustainability and Climate Strategy Sarah Campbell has gone across town
19:44to Fashionable Wynwood to appear live on activist Alicia Bird's daily podcast and take control of the narrative.
19:51So, you've got like 2,500 miles between Mexico City and Vancouver.
19:55Yes.
19:56And 2,700 miles between Boston and San Francisco.
19:59Exactly.
20:00Right. So, you're not going to be making those journeys on a bike, right?
20:02Well, that's...
20:03No, you're going to be like 38,000 feet, whatever, burning fossil fuel like it's going out of style.
20:07Well, but so...
20:08Which it literally is, right?
20:10Well, no, because...
20:11I mean, yes, it is, but that's the point.
20:14So, our logistics are unique, absolutely.
20:17But that's why we have a unique opportunity to raise awareness around those issues.
20:21Okay. Wow.
20:23Environmentally, 2026 has a once in a lifetime chance to make a difference.
20:26Yeah, I think I get it now.
20:28Truly.
20:28Right, so the bigger of a disaster you are environmentally, the more you raise awareness of how catastrophic that is.
20:34Absolutely.
20:35Excuse me?
20:35I can see that working.
20:36No.
20:37You know what? That's actually pretty neat.
20:40No.
20:43Back at the Craftsman Centre, meanwhile, with Megan Rapinoe and her people now arrived and in the room with David
20:48Beckham and his people at the same time, it looks like they've ended up with at least one too many
20:53ambassadors, and quite possibly too many people.
20:56Ian.
20:57Yes.
20:58Welcome.
20:59You remember Amy, of course.
21:00Amy, yes.
21:01Hi, Ian.
21:02Who has actually flown in from LA.
21:04Really?
21:04Indeed so.
21:05Well, you've got to be here for this, right?
21:07Absolutely.
21:08Here you are.
21:08Right.
21:09Yeah, so Eric, should we just have a quick catch up on practicalities?
21:12Of course.
21:12Yes.
21:13Well, if you'll forgive us for a moment.
21:14Sure.
21:15You guys do what you're going to do, right?
21:17In his official role as F*** Director of Integrity, Ian has suddenly found himself dealing with what can only be
21:23described as a situation.
21:25What have you told him? What have you said to them?
21:26So, the President is in a meeting with Elton John.
21:29Elton John?
21:29Apparently, he cannot be disturbed.
21:31We agreed that if they wanted Megan Rapinoe, Zurich were going to have to handle David.
21:34Yes.
21:35We agreed that.
21:36Exactly.
21:36So, what happened?
21:37So, what we can say is that what we know is that once the referee has blown his whistle, then
21:42the game has started and no one can know how it ends.
21:45Okay, if it's okay with you, I'm going to ignore that because I don't know what it means.
21:48Absolutely.
21:49Yes, of course.
21:49Yes.
21:49Okay, so what happens here is what we do, we control this, yes?
21:53Right.
21:53Someone has to tell David.
21:54Yes.
21:54Someone has to tell him.
21:55Absolutely, yes.
21:56Yes, I know that.
21:56See, that is what I am saying before it is too late.
21:58Yes, okay, so?
21:59Well, or someone has to tell Megan, I guess.
22:01What?
22:01Excuse me?
22:02Well, no, I think that's a whole other...
22:03No way, right?
22:04Tell Megan.
22:05Yeah.
22:05No way.
22:06With important people's people now starting to talk to each other in the room, Ian's job is to keep his
22:12team calm in a situation where everyone knows that that's by some margin the least sensible option.
22:17Okay.
22:18This is not okay.
22:18It's one or the other now, basically.
22:20No, no, no, no, no, no.
22:20And I'm sorry, but for me...
22:21No, no, no.
22:22To be fair, it's a no-brainer.
22:23I'll say you're stupid, okay?
22:24Yeah, what?
22:25I know what you're doing and you're not doing it, okay?
22:27Look, this isn't helping, okay?
22:28What we've managed to establish is that someone needs to tell somebody something.
22:31Exactly.
22:31Yeah, exactly.
22:32Any moment now...
22:33Oh, they're coming.
22:34Right, okay.
22:35Right, here we go.
22:36Yeah, embrace your impact, guys.
22:37Engage your call.
22:38Sorry, I have to take this.
22:40Presidente, como va?
22:43Hi, guys.
22:44Hey, Amy.
22:44Hey, Kim.
22:45Hi.
22:46Yes, hi.
22:49Those are so cool bamboo socks, right?
22:53They're bamboo, but they're actually washable and reusable, just like regular socks.
22:56So why not just give them regular socks, then?
22:58Excuse me?
22:59It's just like, organic cotton is literally one of the most environmentally friendly materials we have.
23:04But these are bamboo.
23:06Back over in Wynwood, Sarah has unleashed her big idea on Alicia Byrd.
23:10100% recycled floorboards.
23:11Of course.
23:12Yeah.
23:13Whoa.
23:14Wait.
23:14Okay, so they're really cool.
23:16No way.
23:17So we wanted to focus on products that are relevant to these young men, and also to women,
23:22obviously.
23:22But also, and to other more people of really just pretty much everybody, you know, following
23:27our theme of raising awareness.
23:29Right, right.
23:30And things like wooden condoms and biodegradable.
23:32Wooden condoms?
23:33No, wait, excuse me.
23:34Holy fuck.
23:35No, wooden toothbrushes.
23:36Guys, I think we just got ourselves a world first.
23:38Wooden condoms, everybody.
23:40No.
23:41Oh my God.
23:42In the meantime, at the craftsman center, with the clock ticking down relentlessly, there
23:46had been some intense negotiations behind the scenes.
23:49So cutting to the chase, we might have a solution that I think I can say everyone is
23:53happy with, if happy is the right word.
23:55Perfect.
23:56The new plan is for the event to become a symbolic passing of the baton from one icon
24:00to another.
24:01With David Beckham as outgoing ambassador, passing an official f***er 2026 football to
24:06Megan Rapinoe as incoming ambassador.
24:08The future of the game is now indifferent, equally safe, but in the end, pinker hands.
24:14Okay.
24:14Adios to me.
24:15Okay, cool.
24:15Yeah, cool, yeah.
24:16Oh my God, genius.
24:17I mean, luckily, one good thing about it, if Amy and Kim can sell that as an idea to their
24:21respective clients, all we need now is a football.
24:23Sure, okay.
24:23You know, I mean, an official f***er one, obviously.
24:25Exactly, yes.
24:26Cool.
24:26Yes, sir.
24:27Yeah, no, great.
24:34Okay.
24:35Okay.
24:36Okay.
24:36Oh, great.
24:37What?
24:38No way.
24:39Oh, of course.
24:39Like, no way.
24:40But as is often the case with the best ideas, it's all about the detail.
24:45And in this case, the problem is that they haven't got the one detail they actually need.
24:49I mean, there must be a sports shop somewhere near here.
24:51Okay, so there's a Dix in Overtown.
24:53A Dix?
24:53Right.
24:53Yeah, no, there is, yeah.
24:54Where's Overtown?
24:55Okay, so...
24:55Yeah, well, it's Overtown, yeah.
24:56Yeah, no.
24:57Okay, so it's four miles away.
24:58Four miles.
24:58Crap.
24:59Mmm, twenty minutes by car.
25:00Twenty minutes.
25:01Great.
25:02Yeah, no, crap.
25:03Sorry, Will.
25:04Yeah, can you just...
25:05Yeah, no.
25:05No, really, we're trying to...
25:06Yeah, no, because I've got one.
25:07What?
25:08Yeah, in my bag, yeah.
25:09You've got a football?
25:10Yeah, I don't know.
25:10Like, they gave it to me when they did this.
25:12Right.
25:13There you go.
25:15Oh, Will, that's...
25:16Okay, cool.
25:17What can I say?
25:19Yeah, no question, yeah.
25:23Yeah, no worries, yeah, cool.
25:25It's now indifferent, equally safe, but in the end, finger hands.
25:31So, perhaps we can say, uh, the big moment has arrived, yes?
25:35Guys, please.
25:39Yeah, there you go, do that.
25:43Finally, after being moments away from disaster all morning,
25:46it's starting to look as if it might actually be too late for that.
26:08With the event over, it's time to assess how things have landed on social media,
26:13and there's general agreement in Zurich and beyond that things have not just gone perfectly,
26:17but exactly as planned.
26:19We try, yes?
26:20We try.
26:21Right.
26:21But football is a funny game, and it turns out that this is a day on which other things
26:26are landing on social media at the same time, and not in a good way.
26:30Wooden condoms and biodegradable.
26:31Wooden condoms?
26:32Wooden condoms and biodegradable.
26:34Wooden condoms and biodegradable.
26:35Wooden condoms and biodegradable.
26:35Wooden condoms and biodegradable.
26:35Right, okay.
26:36How could she have done this?
26:37Well, then, hang on.
26:38Like, it's literally everywhere.
26:39Exactly.
26:39Like, Nicki Minaj has just reposted it.
26:41Well, puta madre.
26:42Okay, so first of all, before we start blaming anyone.
26:44Exactly.
26:44I prepare with her especially for this, and then she scores a non-go.
26:47Okay, so let's just...
26:48Oh, hang on.
26:50Sarah!
26:50Yes, hi.
26:51At the end of the day, it's never over until it's over, and it's one game at a time.
26:56Well, as it happens, I have, yes.
26:58I've just seen it, yes, so that's all good.
27:02Yes, so I mean...
27:03Sarah?
27:04Sarah, are you okay?
27:06Sarah?
27:21Okay, so at the moment we have a million views already.
27:25Right, correct.
27:25Another Monday morning at 2026 Oversight Headquarters in Miami, and Director of Integrity Ian Fletcher
27:31is chairing a meeting of the Strategic Operations Group, or SOG.
27:36So, my correction was immediate, right?
27:38Like, it's right there for anyone to see, but, of course, no one's interested in that.
27:43Of course.
27:44Sure.
27:44They're not interested in...
27:45Actually, Gabrielle, could we just...
27:46Sure.
27:47Sorry, Sarah.
27:48Sure, no, thank you.
27:50Thank you, Ian.
27:51No one is interested in the real issues here.
27:53They'd rather laugh at a three-second clip on their phones.
27:56Yes.
27:56Meanwhile, polar bears are running out of ice to actually sit on.
27:59Yes.
28:00Exactly so.
28:01And in this way, we are all polar bears, yes?
28:03Yes, I mean...
28:03This is our global mission together in football.
28:05Yes.
28:06Good to know.
28:06100%.
28:07Yeah, right.
28:08There's been a lively response over the weekend to Sarah's appearance on a podcast
28:12to promote 2026's sustainability agenda.
28:15Right, so, I mean, Gabriella...
28:16Sure.
28:16...from an optics and narrative perspective...
28:18See, what?
28:19What's the...
28:19Okay, so right now, we have calls from three major US networks
28:22who want to do an interview with the wooden condoms girl.
28:25Right.
28:25Okay, three.
28:26The wooden condoms girl.
28:27Exactly.
28:28Jesus.
28:29Well...
28:29So...
28:29Just say, guys, I'd totally watch that.
28:31Right.
28:31I mean, you kind of have to, wouldn't you?
28:33100%.
28:33Exactly.
28:34That's my point.
28:35Okay, so before this goes any further...
28:37Immediately, you are one delta behold.
28:39Sure.
28:39Right, okay, good.
28:40So, Sarah.
28:42Sure.
28:43Before this goes any further, I just want to be clear, so I'm not the wooden condoms girl,
28:48right?
28:48No, obviously.
28:49Exactly.
28:49That's not who I am.
28:50No, I mean, of course not.
28:51You are VP Sustainability and Climate Strategy, yes?
28:54Right, absolutely.
28:55Bueno.
28:56So the story here is, what we are saying, 2026 is going to be the best thing ever for
29:00the planet, yes?
29:01Right.
29:01Yeah, uh...
29:02Really?
29:03Absolutely.
29:03Okay.
29:04So now you have a platform.
29:05You have millions of people looking at you.
29:08Right.
29:09Millions, yes?
29:10Yes.
29:10This is a dream scenario, no?
29:12Absolutely.
29:13Right, okay, just to check, Sarah, that you're happy with the idea of Gabriella engaging
29:17with one of the networks about this.
29:19Sure.
29:20Right, okay.
29:21Well, I think that sounds like a...
29:22Sure.
29:23Sounds like a plan, then.
29:24Absolutely.
29:33Mateus Savori.
29:34Okay.
29:35Like this totally random German website actually just named him?
29:38Yes.
29:38Like they say they have proof.
29:39Meanwhile, it's mid-morning, and in the social media space something has happened.
29:43News has dropped in a post from a prominent LGBTQIA campaign group that one of the hottest
29:48young talents in world football is about to come out as gay.
29:51So this is getting a lot of heat on social media right now.
29:54Sure.
29:54Right, like hashtag change the game, right?
29:55Right, yes.
29:56Wow, like this is literally insane.
29:58Right.
29:58With the campaign already launched on social media, hashtag change the game, everyone is
30:03aware of the potential challenges this could present from an optics and narrative point
30:07view.
30:08Right, so change the game.
30:09Right, so basically they're like 6% of men in Western cultures identify as gay.
30:14Right.
30:14Sure.
30:156%.
30:15Right.
30:16So where are they getting that figure from?
30:17So I think that is like research.
30:19Right, totally.
30:20Yeah, right, right, right.
30:21Right, so for 2026 that means like we don't know what the actual number here is, right?
30:24Well, okay.
30:25The number is huge, okay?
30:26Right.
30:26It's a huge number.
30:27Okay, well we have 48 teams competing, right?
30:30Let's say they each bring a squad of 25 players still?
30:3226.
30:3326, right?
30:3426-man squad, yeah.
30:35So that's 26 person?
30:36Well, no, hang on.
30:37Okay, so that adds up to around 1,250 players.
30:41Right.
30:41Okay, so if the 6% figure is correct, we're looking at around 75 gay players here.
30:47Right, right.
30:4875 exactly, yes.
30:49It's huge.
30:50I mean, that's like three old teams.
30:51Whoa.
30:52Yes, well, I mean, yeah, three teams, that's just like mental.
30:55Yes.
30:56Right, so the point is, where are those players right now, right?
30:59Like they're literally invisible.
31:01Yes.
31:01Yeah, beats me, where are they?
31:02Right, so we change the game, it's like we're done with that, right?
31:05Like it's time.
31:05Right.
31:06Like this could be the moment.
31:07Well, yes, obviously...
31:07Guys, what we do here is we control this, yes?
31:10We get a statement out there now.
31:11Right, but...
31:11No, but right now.
31:12Like, now, yes?
31:13Yes.
31:13So you wanna know where we are here if we get this wrong?
31:15Well...
31:15I'll tell you where we are if we get this wrong.
31:16At the moment, we don't even know if any of this shit is true, right?
31:19Well, actually, yes.
31:20Excuse me.
31:21I mean, I suppose that's a point.
31:22It's literally out there on social media.
31:23We put a statement out there.
31:25We end up accidentally outing a guy here who turns out to be straight.
31:28So, legally, Nick...
31:29Legally?
31:30Your advice here would be...
31:31Legally, my advice is, are we fucking insane?
31:34Right.
31:34Honestly, I don't know.
31:36Well, are we?
31:43I mean, you've never actually had one of these before.
31:45Right.
31:46Well, then you haven't lived, right?
31:47Right.
31:48Meanwhile, it's the end of what could be a significant day for Ian,
31:51and perhaps for Sarah as well.
31:53So there's some milk in here?
31:54Right.
31:55And some cheese and grapes and...
31:56Right.
31:57So I just put a few things in there in case you needed them?
31:58Oh, well, I mean that's...
31:59He has decided to take up the offer of her apartment to rent,
32:02and finally move out of his hotel.
32:04Like I say, like with the air conditioning or anything else you need to know,
32:07you can call me anytime.
32:08Yes, thank you.
32:09Sure.
32:11Okay.
32:12Well...
32:13Right, yes.
32:14So I hope you'll be happy here.
32:15Oh, well, thank you.
32:16I mean, I'll certainly give it a shot anyway.
32:18Right.
32:18Oh, and I mean, thanks for coming over, you know, especially and showing me.
32:21Of course.
32:21I mean, I know how busy things are at the moment.
32:24Right.
32:25I mean, I would invite you to stay for a coffee.
32:27Right.
32:27Or, you know, tea.
32:28Or cheese and grapes.
32:29You know...
32:29But I mean, it's your apartment after all, so it feels a bit...
32:32You know, I'd love to, but...
32:35I don't know.
32:35I guess I better...
32:36Right.
32:37No rest for the wooden condoms girl, right?
32:38Yes.
32:39I mean, for what it's worth, I'm sure that'll work out okay in the end.
32:42Sure.
32:45It's not easy, right?
32:46Yes.
32:47What is it?
32:48This.
32:49All of it.
32:50Everything.
32:50It...
32:51No.
32:51This is not easy.
32:53Yes.
32:53No, so anyway, I mean, this is really, you know, thank you.
32:58Sure.
33:12F***a wholly supports any player's right to live a life that is true to themselves.
33:17Football is a game for everyone.
33:19The 2026 tournament is a gender neutral space and we are proud to encourage, promote, and
33:25celebrate diversity, equality, and inclusion on the world stage.
33:30Right, okay.
33:30Thanks, Gabriella.
33:31Sure.
33:31And Madison, I know your team's been working hard on this.
33:34Right.
33:34Really?
33:34Good job, guys.
33:35Exactly.
33:35It's perfect.
33:36Meanwhile, it's Tuesday, and with a campaign across social media rapidly gaining pace to
33:41make 2026 the moment when any and all gay footballers finally come out of their changing
33:46rooms, the pressure is on for F***a to release a statement that puts them ahead
33:50of the game in one of the most culturally sensitive areas on Earth.
33:53I mean, Eric, I know you've been in contact with Zurich about this.
33:57Well, so first of all, I'm sorry not to be with you in what I believe we can call the
34:01flesh, but perhaps in the end we are all where we are in life, yes?
34:05Yes.
34:06Yeah, right.
34:07100%.
34:07And in order to complicate things further, F***a chief coordinating attache, Eric van de
34:12Putrens, is on his way to the airport to fly to Rome where F***a president, C***i Infantino,
34:17is due to be meeting Pope Leo the F***teenth in the morning.
34:20Then we can say that if we are all gay today, yes?
34:23Yes, I mean...
34:24Each of us in our own way, of course.
34:26Then the Pope, how shall I put this, perhaps not quite so much.
34:30Right, no.
34:31OK, I'm going to ask this.
34:32He's meeting the Pope?
34:33Ah, yes, yes.
34:34I mean, what the f***?
34:35Well, so they are all friends, of course.
34:37He's friends with the Pope?
34:39OK, well...
34:39Ah, the president has many friends.
34:40He's a very friendly man.
34:42F***s sake.
34:42Right, but Eric, to get into the nuts and bolts of this, so it's the words gender and neutral
34:47we're talking about here?
34:48Well, in a way, yes.
34:49No way.
34:49Those are the words Zurich has a problem with.
34:52No, no, no, no.
34:53No one has the problem with this.
34:55The suggestion is simply that we replace the word gender and neutral by the single word safe.
35:02Right.
35:02OK.
35:03Safe?
35:04As in the 2026 tournament is a safe space.
35:06No way.
35:07Exactly so.
35:08Just say, guys, sounds good to me.
35:09No way, right?
35:10And that is all.
35:11Like, this is not OK.
35:12Well, what do they know in Zurich?
35:14They don't know anything.
35:16Yeah, so this is a very complex, very nuanced issue, clearly.
35:19Yeah, right.
35:20But crucially, Eric, we need to get something out there before the audience with the Pope
35:24tomorrow morning.
35:25End it at the end of it.
35:26Yeah.
35:27Oh, right, OK.
35:28So I think he's dropped out with...
35:29Yes.
35:29Yes, he has.
35:30Anyway, whilst that's happening, this is something we cannot afford to get wrong.
35:33Yeah.
35:33In fact, even more than that, we absolutely have to get it right.
35:36Yeah, I've been trying to imagine that.
35:38It's not easy.
35:39OK.
35:39So legally, I'd say we're good with safe space, right?
35:42Right.
35:42No way.
35:43Because it doesn't mean anything.
35:44What?
35:44Whereas gender neutral, what can I tell you?
35:47I mean, you're pretty much looking at a tornado of shit right from the get-go there.
35:50Right, well...
35:51You literally cannot do this.
35:52OK, well, great.
35:53If shit is your thing.
35:54Right, OK.
36:00I mean, this is a great story.
36:02I can tell you there's a lot of interest in it already.
36:04Absolutely.
36:05Really, it's super exciting.
36:06Absolutely.
36:07Meanwhile, Sarah is on a Zoom call with news producer Rachel McKinney, assistant editor
36:12of CNC's prestigious daily, World News Tonight.
36:15So at the moment, we have you as second item out of the news, but that could change.
36:19Right.
36:19Obviously, we'll make sure we keep you posted.
36:21Great.
36:22And so...
36:22During the morning, it's become clear that her live interview about the wooden condom story
36:27is going to be later today, as in later today.
36:30So, could I just check with you?
36:32Sure.
36:32So, this may be a stupid question.
36:34No, really, no, anything.
36:35So, is this camera OK?
36:37Your computer camera?
36:38I mean, it's fine for this, obviously, but for network TV...
36:41Oh, OK.
36:42Like, I'm not going to need makeup or any special...
36:44No, no, no, really.
36:45So, honestly, I mean, you could even wear exactly what you're wearing right now.
36:49Right.
36:50Really, I'm not joking.
36:52Great.
36:53So...
36:54OK, so that is what you're going to be wearing, right.
36:57Well...
36:57No, that's great, Sarah.
36:58Like, I just came to work this morning.
36:59It's perfect.
37:00Right.
37:01Really, honestly, you can relax.
37:03Great.
37:05Oh, my God.
37:06Right.
37:07No way.
37:07Oh, my God, oh, my God.
37:08Jesus, what now?
37:09Oh, right, OK.
37:10Right, yeah.
37:11Like, no way.
37:12Back in the meeting room, meanwhile, the Matthias Savori story is developing by the minute.
37:17His management team have just posted a post on social media.
37:20Whilst Matthias is proud to be a supporter of the LGBTQIA plus community, he categorically
37:26denies any suggestion that he himself is gay.
37:28And anyone who gives credence to this suggestion in any way, directly or indirectly, can expect
37:33immediate, robust and conclusive legal consequences.
37:37Right.
37:37They literally cannot do this.
37:38They think about the brand here, yes?
37:40You know what, guys?
37:40I had a feeling this might happen.
37:42Like, fuck you did, Phil.
37:43Yes, well, anyway, it has.
37:44Exactly.
37:45Bueno.
37:45I mean, at least we know where we are now, so that's all good.
37:47Well, yeah, right.
37:53Will.
37:53Oh, yeah, hey, yeah.
37:55What, yeah, I was going to bring your coffee in.
37:57OK, right.
37:58Yeah.
37:59Well, thank you, obviously.
38:00Yeah, no worries.
38:01But the meeting's actually finished now.
38:03OK.
38:03I'm just going to make myself one.
38:04OK, yeah, no worries, you're proud.
38:06In the meantime, Ian has found Will in the kitchen.
38:08Are you looking for something?
38:09Yeah, do you know where the ashwagandha tea is?
38:11Ashwagandha tea?
38:11Yeah, so...
38:12Even though he's Ian's assistant, it seems he's gone off piste and offered to make a cup
38:16of tea for Sarah.
38:17Yeah, because apparently it's really calming.
38:18Oh, well, that's good of you.
38:19Yeah.
38:20Yeah, I mean, I think Sarah's got quite a lot on today.
38:22Yeah.
38:22You know, with the interview and everything.
38:23Yeah, no, yeah, Mateo Savori.
38:25What?
38:25Yeah, no, you're mental, yeah.
38:27No, no, it's not about Mateo Savori.
38:29OK.
38:29No, it's about, actually, it doesn't matter what it's about.
38:31But in any case, no, I think a cup of tea.
38:34Oh, my God.
38:36Oh, my God, Sarah.
38:41So, I am thinking a little shape here.
38:44Maybe a little light, yes?
38:46Right.
38:46OK.
38:47And with the face, I don't know, just a little definition, a little sunshine, maybe.
38:52Sunshine.
38:53Huh.
38:53Meanwhile, thanks to a brilliant idea of Gabriela's, renowned Miami hair and makeup visionary and
38:58spiritual guidance counselor Eduardo Bustos Flores has arrived, literally out of nowhere,
39:04to work with Sarah ahead of her live TV interview.
39:07I mean, you sure there's time for this, Eduardo?
39:10OK.
39:11Yeah, you sure there's time for this, Eduardo?
39:12Sarah, there is time for everything in life, yes?
39:15A time to weep, a time to heal, a time to dance.
39:20Right.
39:21OK.
39:21So, today, on this day, we make a choice.
39:23We choose to dance, yes?
39:26Sure.
39:27OK.
39:28Great.
39:28Oh, my God.
39:29Oh, my God.
39:30Oh, come to me.
39:33What can I say?
39:34Thank you for doing this thing.
39:35No, no, no, no, no.
39:38So, everything is good now, yes?
39:40Yeah.
39:41Sure.
39:42What did I tell you?
39:42Absolutely.
39:43So, I have just spoken with Rachel at CNC.
39:45OK.
39:46They would like you in place and ready at 6 o'clock.
39:48OK.
39:48Just to make sure everything is OK, technically.
39:50Sure.
39:50Just because it's live, so you know, nothing can go wrong.
39:52Absolutely.
39:53No.
39:53Oh, hey, Ian.
39:54Yes, hi.
39:55How's it all going?
39:56Yeah.
39:57Everything is good.
39:58Absolutely.
39:59Sure.
39:59So, Ian, this is Eduardo.
40:01Right.
40:02Hello.
40:02He is a genius.
40:03Good.
40:04Gabriella, I was wondering if you had a moment.
40:06OK.
40:06Sure.
40:09What now?
40:09Yes.
40:11OK.
40:17What's happening here?
40:18OK.
40:18So, what's happening here?
40:19So, what's happening here, she's going to look sensational.
40:21Yes, I'm sure she is, but you realize what's coming towards us here.
40:23What are you saying to me?
40:24This is a live interview, right?
40:25Yes.
40:26Absolutely live, yes.
40:27Yes, so she's going to get asked about Mateus Savori.
40:29No.
40:29No, she is.
40:30This interview is about sustainability and climate strategy, yes?
40:33And we're prepared for this.
40:33Exactly, that's my point.
40:35Whereas the truth is, Sarah's going to get asked about F***'s position on gay footballers
40:38in 2026, live on network TV.
40:40No.
40:40And at the moment, we have no real idea what that position is.
40:43She is the wooden condom scarf, yes.
40:45I have this from the producer like I actually spoke with her earlier.
40:47She gave me her word.
40:48Right, and you believed her.
40:50Excuse me?
40:50A news producer, producing a live network news show today, just at the moment when a story
40:54like this is breaking worldwide.
40:56Okay.
40:58Okay.
40:59Okay.
41:00Except maybe I would like to change what you're wearing because I'm not...
41:02Okay.
41:03Okay.
41:05Mamis, but it's that I can't do anything, honestly.
41:17F*** strongly opposes all forms of intrusion into any player's private life.
41:22The 2026 tournament is a safe space.
41:25This is a day on which things are moving fast.
41:28In light of his management team's assertion that Matthias Sivori is not legally gay, the
41:32oversight team has been working on a new statement to get ahead of a different narrative.
41:36Diversity, equality and inclusion on the world stage.
41:39Right, good.
41:40Thanks, Gabriella.
41:40And again to Madison for turning this round so fast.
41:43Sure.
41:43Okay, so can I just say that this is not okay?
41:45Okay, so we talked about this, yes?
41:46I mean, Emily, I don't know if Eric's with us at the moment.
41:49So I think Eric is in a tunnel?
41:50Right, okay.
41:51Yeah, let's hope.
41:52I mean, so just to bring everybody up to speed...
41:53And if they thought they were under pressure already, there's suddenly a whole new urgency,
41:58with time now ticking down towards a hard stop much closer to the present than anyone realised.
42:03Okay, so Sarah will be asked about Matthias Sivori in the World News Tonight interview.
42:08Sarah?
42:08Yes.
42:09Exactly.
42:09Great.
42:09So then we have a game plan here, yes?
42:11A game plan.
42:12Have we?
42:12We have the statement, yes, we're good to go.
42:14And Sarah is at her computer for the interview, she can have it right there on the screen.
42:17Right.
42:18Actually, this is a perfect plan.
42:19But at the moment we don't know which statement we're actually going with.
42:21Excuse me?
42:22Right.
42:22Like this is so wrong.
42:24I mean...
42:24Okay, you want to know where we are here?
42:25Well...
42:25I'll tell you where we are.
42:26So we need to establish which way this guy swings before he put out any statement.
42:30Right.
42:30Okay, so you literally cannot say that.
42:32Meanwhile, it looks like FIFA Chief Liaison Officer Eric van de Putrens has come out of his tunnel and emerged
42:37at the airport.
42:38So, I have been in contact with Zurich.
42:40Great.
42:41They have looked at both versions.
42:42Well, good, because we need a decision here.
42:44Exactly so.
42:45So then in football we know that we all have feet, yes?
42:49So then if you play with the left foot or with the right foot, in this game we are all
42:55equal on the pitch, yes?
42:57But at the same moment we can say that...
43:00With social media in meltdown and an hour to go before Sarah's live CNC interview, it's crucial that everybody is
43:07clear about which statement they're finally finalising.
43:09So, in the end we can say the feeling in the room is at this moment we are going with
43:15statement number because...
43:19Right.
43:20Great.
43:21So this will be the signal.
43:22Yes.
43:22Wait, no.
43:23...
43:26...
43:27...
43:28...
43:28...
43:28...
43:28...
43:28...
43:29...
43:30...
43:30...
43:30...
43:30...
43:31...
