We're growing our little community.

People are getting on board with the podcast, yes.

And we're all going to be joining in.

The biggest distraction in the world ever.

The World Cup starts today, as if you didn't know.

First game is in Mexico.

Mexico v. South Africa.

And the performance, the entertainment, is by Shakira.

and Burna Boy and they'll be performing this live for the first time.

Interesting fact, Mexico is the only country to host the World Cup three times.

Now they're not hosting it exclusively this time, but this is the third time matches in the World Cup were played in Mexico and that's a record, that's a record.

So there's three opening ceremonies.

So there's this one tonight.

And then tomorrow, it's the Canadian version of it.

Alanis Morissette and Michael Bublé, among others, will be performing in the BMO field in Toronto.

And then on Saturday, it's the American, the America's Turn.

Katy Perry and who else is there?

Tyler.

Other names I don't recognise.

They're performing at the opening ceremony for the US game.
