Man City Keep Title Race Alive

28:15And if you look at the content, and I think it's really important to stress this, by the way, the actual content of this interview, there are some issues that weren't picked up on yesterday that either weren't asked or that Florentino didn't want to answer that today at least he's addressed. Yes, for example, the situation with Vinicius needing to renew his contract, the situation with Kylian Mbappé, whether it was a mistake to bring in Xabi Alonso, and he said it wasn't, the reasons why this season hasn't gone very well, what happens now with Jose Mourinho. Now, these were things that were asked yesterday, but that Florentino wasn't going to engage with.

28:44Essentially, what Florentino engaged with yesterday, and he's used this comment today, was to try and talk about his enemies. And he talked about internal enemies, he talked about people who want to try and get hold of the club. and he mentioned a man with a South American accent, a Mexican accent, and we believe that he's talking about a guy called Raquel May, who is actually from the east coast of Spain, but has done business deals in Mexico and has talked in the past about trying to position himself to run for the elections. So that was one enemy. The other enemy, of course, was the media, and so much of the focus was on the media.

29:15And the third and most important enemy, I think, in terms of a genuine enemy, is, of course, the ongoing Negreda case. Now, in that sense, that part of it, that part of the content, and as I say, a press conference that was 75 minutes long and really didn't have very much content because it was circular but that part is quite important and that's the part that Alvaro Abelho has picked up on today and I think Florentino having another interview was really a way of saying okay, let's kind of draw a line under what happened yesterday and let's get some of these messages out or at least engage in a way that actually delivers genuine content because the day before, there wasn't too much of it Alo Let me address a few things for a club like Real Madrid, a club of this size, of this importance, of this magnitude, to play the victim role, please, por favor, please.

30:06Real Madrid are not victims. They are not victims. And for them to intimate or insinuate that them losing the league title this season was because of the Negreta case and that somehow there's a connection there, Please. We're not that dumb. You may hate the media, but we're not that dumb. Let me put that to the side. Let me address Arbeloa. If you ever watch a Real Madrid match, whenever Florentino Perez is in attendance, not too far from him, maybe a row in front of him. And to the left, you'll see guys like Santi Solari. You'll see Roberto Carlos. You know, they're usually well-dressed, well-put-together.

30:53What do they do for the club? We don't really know. But they're there sort of... Ambassadors. Yes, quote-unquote. They're there just to kind of speak highly of the club and represent the brand of Real Madrid and look out for Real Madrid. As Álvaro Arbeloa knows that his job is coming to an end out on the field, this man is now trying to secure his place right next to Santi Solari, Roberto Carlos, oh, and here's Arbeloa as a person who's going to be a shield for Real Madrid and just speak the truth as it pertains and from the perspective of Real Madrid and Florentino Perez. For Arbeloa to take on this position after you have just lost the title And with the many things that are going with Real Madrid that are far more important right now, right now than the Negreta case, you focus on that because it's Captain Deflecto.

31:48Let's talk about this because let's not talk about the realities of this club, the issues that we have inside the locker room, the problems that we have had this season, the struggles that we have had on the field. Let's not talk about those things. Yeah. Let's talk about this over here. It is moving and shifting the narrative somewhere else. But again, we are not that dumb. We are not that dumb. We're not just going to focus here and look at the birdie here and ignore all the issues that remain with Real Madrid and issues that have to be resolved. Otherwise, the difference between Barcelona and them is going to continue to grow.

32:25Yes, as Ale pointed out, Real Madrid's issues have been out there for the world to see, and we are seeing them. We are not that dumb. So what's been the reaction to what Alvaro Albeloa had to say as well in his presser? Well, I think in a way, everybody knows, of course, that Albeloa is in an almost impossible position. He can't really say anything other than what he said today. And I think, you know, when he talks about the Negreira case, I think he genuinely does believe that's important. And actually, for what it's worth, I think it is important. I don't think it's the explanation for what's happened this season.

32:56But I think in terms of a historic case, I think it's very significant. The role that Arboleda has now, as I say, is a difficult one. It's interesting, by the way, because both Roberto Carlos and Santi Solari, they don't really have a public-facing role. They don't really talk. The public-facing role is held by Emilio Borjo-Gueno, who is the institutional director who occasionally talks. But really and truly Madrid don't have a public presence in that sense because this is a club that doesn't do media interviews post-game, that doesn't have that kind of pre-game presence. And this means that the only spokesman, really, is the manager, who of course has the obligation, both in the league and the Champions League and also in the Cop of the Raid, to do a pre-game press conference and a post-game press conference.

33:35So Abelho this year has been the sole spokesman of Real Madrid, the only one. And yet, of course, he knows that he has two things that he can do. One is deliver the lines that he wants to deliver and say the things that he wants to say. And I think largely he's done that. But he also has a political role there. And he also has, if you like, an obligation and a responsibility there. And so what he says doesn't really surprise anyone because it comes in that context. And I don't think it's really necessarily something to accuse Abouloh of. But yes, the reaction very much has been exactly what Ali's saying, which is to say that you can talk about these other issues, but there are things that people want to know, that Real Madrid fans want to know.

34:11They want to know why the team hasn't performed well this year. They want to know what happened with Xavi Alonso. They want to know why there was a fight between two players. They want to know why it doesn't seem to work with Vinicius and Mbappé and Bellingham and the team. Why isn't that happening? They want to know what happens next. Is Mourinho coming? If it's not Mourinho, who is it? They want to know which kind of players are going to sign in the summer. And none of these things. And this is the real content, the real heart of it all. And yes, you can criticise journalists. And yes, journalists do get it wrong.

34:37And yes, journalists, you can accuse them of being against your team or against another team or to not be right or to not deal with you fairly. And all of those things can be dealt with as part of a broader discourse. But the fundamental questions that obviously I think fans, even fans of Real Madrid, even those fans of Real Madrid who are watching this right now and saying, we don't like you, journalists. We don't like what you're saying about our club or about our president. Even those fans, I think they're probably more interested in who their manager is going to be and what happens with Mbappé, what happens with Vinicius, than they are in what we say about them.

35:10Well, Real Madrid will have an opportunity to try and save some space tomorrow. They're back in La Liga action, but it's only against Real Oviedo, who's already been relegated. I only said that because we know what they mean to our Sid Lowe. That's Thursday 3.30 p.m. Eastern time. Right, well, as a reminder, Alaves pulled off a big 1-0 win over the recently crowned La Liga champions Barcelona today, a result that's lifted them out of the relegation zone temporarily. Well, our Sidlow caught up with Koski after the game. So try, if you can, to put into words how that felt at the final whistle. Well, it's been a long time for me since I have been playing and winning, so I'm quite happy and quite dead.

35:55So usually I'm looking for that feeling after the match, so I'm happy overall. How easy is it or how difficult is it to live with the pressure when a team is in the kind of position that Alaves are in, that you've got to go and win every game, but at the same time watching other teams winning and trying to fight for survival. What's that like to live with emotionally? Well, it's not easy, but that's what football is about. know about pressure and you need to handle it and okay for me it was a bit extra pressure for that because it was my first start of six months after my injury and here so for me it was a bit extra pressure but I'm happy that we won and that's all that matters.

36:39What was the plan today was part of the idea in your minds the fact that maybe Barcelona having already won the league might be not an easy prospect but an easier prospect than previously? Yeah, that could have played in their mind but of course it's personal on the end of the day so they're used to winning so they don't come 50 % so they go also for the win but maybe they rotate some players but the better doesn't get any better of this so they have a good 25 players who you can put starting 11 and the quality usually keeps the same So it's not every day that you beat Barcelona, but maybe the circumstances helped us today, but we don't know that.

37:26All right, well, let's remind you how things stand at the top half of the La Liga standings. We know that Barcelona have already wrapped up the title in spectacular style. But look at that who's snuck into the top 10, Sevilla, after their come from behind win today. But then look at the bottom half of the standings because this is where the real drama is. Remember I said Sevilla in 10th? Well, only four points separating them in 10th. And Girona in 19th. Absolutely bonkers. And Sid, forget about Real Madrid, Barcelona, top of the table clash. We know that the relegation battle is really where all the drama is at.

38:01So how do you see this playing out or can we just not call it at all? No, I think it's very difficult to call. And I'm glad that you finally come around to my view. Forget the big teams. This is where it's at. This is the real fun. This is the real tension. This is the real excitement. And actually, you know, there's a broader question here. And forgive me, because this sounds like I'm going off on a tangent and starting a whole new debate. But relegation is amazing. And I think sports that don't have relegation really miss out on this kind of thing towards the end of the season. It means so much.

38:33It's a terrible amount of pressure. It's terribly hard for teams that go down. But it's really exciting. Calling this, I think Alaves are in a strong position now because this is the game that was in theory the most difficult, albeit Barcelona come from winning the league. They now go away to Real Oviedo, who despite being the greatest team in the entire world, have just been relegated and have got nothing to play for. So, you know, that on the face of it is a game that they can win. They also play Rayo Vallecano on the final day. Rayo have a European final to prepare for. So Alaves, I think, are in a good position.

39:01I feel really sorry for Levante, who have been absolutely extraordinary over the last 10 games. They've won four of the last six. they've only lost once in those six they're picking up the kind of points that mean that right now on a form guide they would be fourth in the table since Castro took over as coach they would have been in a European place what he's done the club is extraordinary and yet it still might not be enough because everybody's picking up points down there I've got a friend of mine who's a Luante fan and he's been sending me messages for the last couple of weeks saying I don't believe this we're going to go down with 43 points and actually that could happen that could happen Indeed.

39:39Oh, what a time to be alive. I love me some relegation battles. All right. Thank you so much, Sid Lowe, for hanging with us. And I must say that even though Oviedo got relegated, they are still winners because they have you as a supporter. But you keep taking shots at Oviedo, though. Well, Girona will be in action tomorrow and see if they can save some face as well and get themselves out of the relegation zone when they go up against Real Sociedad at 2 p.m. And then a lot of eyes on Real Madrid as they do face that Real Oviedo, who we've talked about so much today. As you know, managing maintenance, repair, and operations is never easy.

41:13Well, in Scotland, in front of emotional fans, many of them in tears, Hearts would beat Falkirk in their home finale. Meanwhile, Celtic would benefit off of a controversial penalty to get the win over Motherwell. And now it all comes down to the final game this weekend where these two sides play each other. Hearts just need a draw to win their first Scottish Premiership title in 66 years, while Celtic need the win. Sider Stevie, set the stage for us. And who wins? Do you notice? Nobody, most people won't know this, but probably about 30 years ago, Hearts were in a similar position. They had to win the last game of the season to win the first title.

41:56And they blew it. They got beat. And Rangers actually won it. So you're going to say they're blowing it again? 30 years later, they find themselves in the same position where actually they don't need to win. They only need to draw against Celtic to win the title. And unfortunately, I'm going to go against everything. I mean, I'm a Rangers fan. I remember. So you would be happy to see Celtic do it. I think Celtic's experience is going to be too much of that. Wait a minute. And it's going to be crying faces again, honestly. I do, I just think... You feel it in your bones. I do, I think Celtic is going to win this game and they're going to go on and win the title.

42:39Wait a minute. And ironically, without that penalty, Hearts would have already won it. Pretty much. Yeah. Because they would have had to lose this game 7-8-0. By three. So, hold on. Correct me if I'm wrong, Stevie. Didn't the writer of your autobiography, Mark Donaldson... Yes. The guy that helped you write your book... Yep. What's the name of your book again? Let's give it a shout. You don't know? Five league titles and a packet of crisps. Hey, all right. I have it. I have a size of coffee. Coffee, coffee. I need a coffee. So Mark Donaldson, who's a big, and I mean a big, Hearts fan, you don't care about it.

43:20See that guy we showed in the picture in the highlights crying? Yes. That's going to be him? He's going to be crying. Not for joy. Not for joy. Not for joy. No, I don't think so. Isn't Mark still out there? Was he in the stands? I know. How did we get Mark crying? He was there last weekend. All right. Well, remember, extra time is where we answer your questions and have a bit of a laugh. Make sure to catch us there over on our YouTube channel. Yana Gafjortov will be back. Well, congratulations are in order for Inter because they completed the domestic double by beating Lazio in the Coppa Italia.

43:57There you can see they won 2-0. Well, for more chatter on this, as well as PSG wrapping up the league, you can bet they'll be talking about it over on the next Gab and Jules show. A fresh episode drops in 24 hours.

44:15Well, Victor Olsheman, remember him? He's pretty really good. And he scored not one, but two goals against Antalaya Sport to officially give Galatasaray the Turkish Super League title. Well done to them, but he's not claiming that, is he? He is. It went down as two goals. I think we're missing the point here, Stevie. Yeah, Stevie, just give him his flowers and give Galatasaray their flowers. Oh, well done. They won the league, aye. Oh, my days. Stevie, a little Debbie Downer. All right, let's talk about this own goal, shall we? Because, yep, it happened well into stoppage time and it denied Al Nasser and specifically Cristiano Ronaldo.

44:59the chance to win Saudi Pro League title right here. Jack of traffic, right? Well, his own defender pushed him, actually. That's the reason why he doesn't catch it. Catch the ball, man. Catch the ball. Catch the ball. Oh, no. Now, Cristiano, don't worry. This has only delayed the inevitable. They still just need one win, I think, in their last couple of games. But you know he wanted it to. Oh, one win in their last game. Oh, so stakes are high. Never count your chickens. Never count your chickens before they hatch. All right, that's it for this edition of ESPN FC, but don't go anywhere because Extra Time is next.

45:40Welcome into Extra Time, everyone. Alexis hanging out here with Stevie and Ale, and Jan Agafjortov is back. Let's get straight into the questions because we seem to have a few. First one, Jan Anthony Gordon to Bayern is looking like a strong possibility. If the reports are true, good move for Gordon and Bayern? Well, what we know is that Christian Falk, who is the head of sport in Bildsetung, had his Bayern insider, and said they have agreed with the player. Doesn't mean that he will go to the club, but I think that is quite a good signing for them. When we know the people going forward by Bayern, he won't go straight into the game or into the team.

46:21But I think that we saw now at the end of the season that Bayern need more alternatives because, yes, Diaz have had a great season. Muciala will probably come back, hopefully, to his best next season. But I think that Gordon would be a good signing for them. Although I have the feeling that the last word hasn't been said in this because there have got to be other top clubs agreed with him too. I have that feeling. Anyone want to chime in? If there's other top clubs involved, why are you going to Bayern when you're not getting a game? Because he's not going to hit Diaz or Lise. We don't know what those other clubs are as of now.

47:03Could be Hearts.

47:07Could be Hearts. They could be freshly crowned champions. From Bayern Munich's perspective, to Jan's point, they were lacking depth at the end of the season. There were some tired legs towards the end of the season, towards the end of the Champions League campaign. And those tired legs were exposed when they needed something. They needed something different against PSG in that second leg and you just couldn't get it. And you turn to the bench and it's like, well, that guy's injured, that guy's not available. So, depth. They were lacking. We talked about it in the earlier part of the season that if there was going to be a weak point for Bayern Munich, it's a lack of depth.

47:44And it showed itself at the worst time possible. Alright, let's push on to the next question which might be of interest to Stevie. Stevie, there are reports of the Liverpool board seemingly backing Arnest Lott for next season. Are they taking a big risk of falling into a 10-hag kind of situation midway next season? Were they wasted time in making the change and lose out on guys like Xabi Alonso and Nagelsmann? Yeah, absolutely. I don't think anybody could actually sit here and say to Liverpool fans, don't worry, this was just a blip this season. I'm not sure what he's doing the whole nine yards.

48:23Nobody can do that because there's nobody can say anything other than we're taking a risk here. And that's what they're doing. They're taking a risk because they gave the guys players last year. They gave a guy money to spend on them. And the season has been a complete and utter disaster. Well, I shouldn't say that because they've actually managed and they will get in the Champions League. But in terms of what's expected at Liverpool, in terms of what we watch on the field, it has been just awful to watch. It's been awful to watch. So the fact that they're backing them, absolutely, you'd have to say it as a bit of a risk.

49:03Jan? But if these two players, I mean, Xabi Alonso, we know him as a great coach. I love and admire him, his personality. But he hasn't been a great success at Leverkusen. And I've been told as well that his standing is not as big a Liverpool that people expect him to be. Because when you have a star name, you will always say that their position is better. What about Julian Nagelsmann? I mean, what a risk that would have been to sign him. So the risk of let Slot keep on doing the team, I mean, you have to add that up to the risk of getting a Julian Nagelsmann that was mentioned here. I can't see that.

49:45So I think that I would prefer to go with Slot and not, for example, with an alternative as Julian Nagelsmann. That's a risk too. Yeah, I mean, there's not an obvious choice. You know, yes, you can say about Alonso and Nagel, But you're not going, oh, I can't believe we're not getting one of them. You're not doing that. 100 % you're not doing that. So if you still have faith in slot, then it's kind of understandable. I did say United would finish ahead of you this season, but you didn't want to believe me. What does that have to do with the conversation at all? I just realised I haven't seen Stevie in a while, so I just couldn't pass up the moment to just give him a little dagger.

50:26Do you know what I mean? The nine years before that, don't tell me. No, but no time like the present. Steven. All right, moving on. You're in for a shock next year, by the way. Moving on to Ale's vacation horse. You actually better keep going. Just get it all out because next year you ain't going to have the chance. Oh, we'll see about that, Stevie. We'll see about that, especially if Arnazat's still your manager. Anyway. That's your only hope. It's been a while, guys. It's been a while. That's your only hope. ESPNFC World Cup power rankings are out. Norway is 10 and USA nowhere to be seen. Xhaka's power rankings are starting to look sensible.

51:02Ooh, all right. Well, these are the ESPN FC World Cup power rankings. I don't think we chose them. No, no. No. No, it's our journalists. So you can definitely yell at the likes of Mark Ogden, Julian LaRoz, Gab Marcotti, Alex Kirkland. Well, don't tell Florentino Perez. He'll start yelling at them for free. Don't worry about it. What is the problem? That Norway is 10 or that the U.S. is nowhere to be seen? He hasn't said, but maybe he's saying U.S. is nowhere to be seen. A bit shocking at Norway 10 shocking? There's a reason that Norbert Wissing. Now, it's not shocking. What shocking is that England is fourth?

51:39I mean, that is shocking for me. I mean, I can't believe that these colleagues of ours have both of them on the fourth position. They played in a very easy qualification group. They have nothing to show now in the friendlies. And the key players are out or injured or out of form. So that is for me the big surprise. I find myself in terms of Norway that people call me foreign journalists or TV channels talking about that we are kind of a secret favorite. I find myself in a country where we have Beatlemania about our team and we find ourselves just thinking of who we're going to play in the final because we are so excited for us being in the World Cup.

52:21But I also see a Norwegian team that has a goalkeeper that hasn't been in goal for Sevilla since September. We have two defenders. One is a reserve at Brentford. One is a reserve at Wolverhampton. And some out of form in midfield and so on. So I guess I know speak as a fan that I'm getting worried as it's getting closer and closer to the World Cup. But Norway at 10, that's OK based on a qualification group. England 40 is a shocking thing. Ali you might find this strange but Okay Jan's in the same position I was in in 1978 As a fan Oh throwback Well Scotland Everybody in Scotland thought that Scotland were going to win the World Cup in 1978 Win Ali McLeod Ali McLeod Ali McLeod yeah he was the manager Now Ali could sell sand to the Arabs I'm telling you He really could And he sold it to everybody in Scotland I mean Scotland play at Hampden Park it is at least two hour drive from Hampden Park to the airport where Scotland were flying out of to go to Argentina and from Hampden Park all the way to the airport there was people on the side of the road waving flags clapping, singing the whole thing because they thought they were going to win the World Cup win win we didn't even get out of the group in the end so I know exactly where you are Jan Stevie can I remember that and the first thing when I came to the World Cup was Pobillas the Peruan great he made a free kick free kick yeah but it has to be said that the Netherlands went all the way to the final losing it to Argentina Scotland beat them and that was maybe one of the best games in the tournament remember Archer Gemmels goal that is my World Cup A great ball come.

54:15And you're right, Stevie. I do find it strange. I thought you would. I do. You're correct. And just for clarification, I wasn't even born yet. So, yeah. Find it strange. Same piece. Right, next question. Stevie, again, describe Hearts' potential title from a big five leagues perspective. Would it be similar to Atletico de Madrid winning La Liga and having to fend off the two main juggernauts in the country. No, it's harder than that. Yeah, it's harder than that. I mean, I believe I'm correct in saying that it's probably 70 or 80 years since Haft's won a top Scottish title in terms of the league.

55:06And as I said, 30 years ago, they had a chance. but then since the Premier League era no and if they do win it this year there's a chance that in two or three years time they'll be back down the other end of the Scottish Premier League so this is for them again this is now or never because it's going to be another 30 years by the time they have another chance because Celtic and Rangers will have more money than Hearts and will retool and will be better. So, yeah, unfortunately, I've already said that I think Celtic will beat Ars and that means that we might have to wait another 30 years to get in this position again.

55:51Atletico de Madrid is a Champions League team. It's a team that has reached a Champions League final. And compete. And so, no, the parallel does not exist. It's not the equivalent. If we're going to find somewhere in La Liga of a team that has won a title that perhaps you were not expecting it. From a smaller team, you have to go back to say something like Deportivo La Coruña, Super Deport of Bebeto and Mauro Silva, and those sort of teams that have now disappeared. Deportivo La Coruña, you cannot even find down. They're not in La Segunda. They're way down there from a team that was competing at the very top of La Liga and then just kind of when the money went, so did the team, and they disappear.

56:34that's the sort of story that I think you can draw a parallel from. Atletico Madrid has been an established brand across Europe for a long time now. Kind of like Leicester City winning the Premier League now. What a fall from grace. What a fall from grace. Next question is for Jan. Jan, which club has been the biggest surprise in the Bundesliga this season and which one has been the biggest letdown? Well, I will say Hoffenheim has had a great season. I mean, that they're going to be up there was surprisingly. I think the biggest letdown, I'm sorry to say, got to be my club, Eintracht Frankfurt.

57:11They are now battling out to get that last, last chance for the seventh place, competing with Freiburg and Augsburg to get that seventh position to get into the Conference League. There has been different things happening this season. But remember, they started the season in the Champions League. They were third in the league. They got there for the second time in the Champions League, but now through the position in the Bundesliga. So I think that even my most loyal Frankfurt friends will say that we have been the biggest disappointment in the Bundesliga. And when the season started in the Champions League and we conceded goals for fun, Then Riera came in.

57:56I'm a bit sorted out the conceding of goal, but lately it's been a bit sad following my team. Bundesliga, Ale, what about you? I agree with Hoffenheim. And if I am going to talk about a letdown, let's just say Wolfsburg, who are down there fighting to stay up in Bundesliga. And it's a team with resources, with players available, a talented group of players, at least on paper, player personnel should be more than enough for this team to at the very least be a mid-table team in Bundesliga. And here they are having to depend on getting results late so that they can stay up. That's a letdown. Because if indeed they don't get the results, they're gone.

58:42And who knows when they're coming back. As we just talked about. All right, final question now. If you could listen to one music artist forever, who would it be? Let me start out with Stevie. because Stevie, you're quite the lover of music. You're always singing. One. Adele. Remember Stevie in his Adele period? Yeah, yeah, that's gone. That's gone? Oh, wow. How fickle men are. Oh, my goodness. All right, we'll come back to Stevie. All right, come back. Yeah, because Stevie is a big lover of music. Ale? Chino y Nacho? Well, it could be Chino. Franco De Vita? Franco De Vita, Jordano. I could toss a little Jose Luis Rodriguez.

59:21Oh, yes. But if it's in English, how about a little Whitney Houston? Oh, solid choice. Yeah, that, you know, I think that you can listen to that for a while. Always, always for the Queen. Jan? Well, there was a big discussion among my friends when Sweden and Denmark were supposed to get to the World Cup. Should we support them or should we just say they're our neighbors and arch rivals? I was in between. So I will, I was saying when Sweden came on, oh, they're here again, but I will go ABBA. I will go ABBA. Yeah. I mean, they have made like four or five hundred number ones. I mean, Benny and Björn, Agneta, Anfried.

1:00:05I mean, you can't, ABBA, you, if you're in a bad mood listening to ABBA, see your psychiatrist. I mean, it's not possible to, to, to, to be in bad mood when you listen to ABBA. So if I'm going to listen to them for one forever, I go Swede this time. Wow, two strong choices. Whitney and Abba, Stevie. If it's a group, yeah, it's got to be Abba. Really? Yeah. If it's an individual artist. One of us is crying, one of us is dying. I didn't know we would have gone for that one. They don't have a bad song. Abba don't have a bad song. And they do always make you feel good. Yeah. But fine, if it's an individual artist, because you already said Abba.

1:00:44I'm stuck between Rod Stewart and Celine Dion. Oh, Celine. Every single time you hear the two of them... You get goosebumps. You get the whole... You get entertainment. You know that it's them. Yeah. You know exactly who's singing. Yeah, again. They don't sing bad songs. What's your favourite Celine Dion song?

1:01:10Oh, this is hard. If I'm going to play. That's a tough one. No. If I'm going to play. No, it was very good, the one she had at the Olympics. That was from Edith Piaf. She was standing in the tower. That is a fantastic song. I wish I could understand it, but it was in France. We didn't. It's a very sad song. You can't go, you can't not like Titanic. Oh, your heart will go on. Aye, you can't not like that. Your heart does go on. I won't sing. For you. Oh.

1:01:51For somebody who wasn't going to sing, I think we're singing. You brought the Selena to me. I'll tell you what, if it sounded like that, I'd have jumped out. But I would have been that, and I would have been bye. Bye. I'd have been up the front like that. See ya. You want me to hold you, Steve? I'll hold you. Give him the Titanic hug. Come on, TV. Hands up. Oh, yes. Yes. You're holding him quite high. What is he saying? What is he saying? Sorry. Sorry. What is he showing? Sorry, my bad. What is he showing, Sally? What kind of version of Titanic did you see? I'm sorry. He was holding him quite up.

1:02:35Wow. All right. We're going to go jump out to some Celine Dion. We can get a harmonizing going. I can't remember the one you had from the film. Celine Dion. Those superhero films. Celine Dion. Yeah. Go ahead, Jan. I will just get an honorable mention of Elvis Presley. I can listen to him as well. Oh, don't get me down that rabbit hole. That was Titanic after dark. That was Titanic. Starring Alejandro Moreno and Stevie Niko.
