The Football Daily Podcast at the People World Cup 2026 with Rick Edwards and Lloyd Griffith.
Hello, welcome to the Football Daily with Rick and Lloyd. We are in Buddies Bar in Jersey City. And the weather today has been an absolute disgrace. Since I last saw you, what have you done? Well, when did I last see you? After the podcast yesterday. Yeah, I basically went to M&M World with Paul Robinson. Pretty good. Yeah, what did you do? I went to the cinema with Guillaume Balaguet. Fantastic. What a life we lead. Yeah. I was there watching Paul Robinson trying to put his face on some M&M's and get frustrated at the screen and then walk out. And did it work? No, not at all. Is it like a normal-sized M&M or a big M&M? Like a head-sized M&M. Normal-sized M&M. Oh, and then you get your faces, yeah. He loves M&M's.
Quite fun. Yeah. I've known Paul for a long time. Never seen him do that before. I've never seen him do that before. I didn't even realise he was into M&M's until we were walking through Times Square and he was like, Oh my God, M&M World. I was like... That is a man from Yorkshire. Yeah, also, just go to Leicester Square. There's one in Leicester Square. But I do love Paul, so we spent a nice little day together with his family. And what did you go and watch at the cinema with Guillaume? The Odyssey. Oh, I don't know what that is. And it was, well, basically because I've got to stay up very late to do breakfast, so I needed to stay up late to get my body on. Oh, body clocking. Body clocking. So we went to the late showing of The Odyssey.
Three-hour film, started at 11 p.m.
You do the math.
Yeah, so we walked out at 2 a.m. And it had... The dangerous thing was the cinema had, like, full flatbed recline. Every single seat was full flatbed recline. We hadn't paid extra. That was just every seat. And full... People were in there with blankets. We shared. I mean, it was so sweet. He bought me the tickets. I bought the snacks and the drinks. I loved it. And the film's fantastic. For a three-hour film, I didn't check my watch. I love films, but they're too long. And a three-hour film is too long. Yeah.
What local experiences did the hosts share from Times Square and M&M World?
And I was engrossed. Completely had me for the whole thing. Is it a good film? It's a really good film. Did you cry like I did with Hamnet? No, I didn't. It's not that. I felt a little bit emotional because it is basically about a man desperately trying to get home to see his wife and child. So I felt a bit like, not for the first time, Odysseus. Not for the first time. You are so deluded. It's absolutely unbelievable. Yeah. And then today I got up. I interviewed Paul Robinson. He didn't mention M&M World or you. He didn't mention me? No, no. Then John Murray didn't mention M&M World or you. And then I went to go and meet a load of Spanish fans. ate some Spanish food, tried to use some Spanish fans' castanets, but the man had left.
And then we went to Times Square, and there was more Argentinians than... I've been to Argentina. There was more Argentinians than I've ever seen in my life. So the Bandarazzo, they're like pre-party rally, starting at five, we got there at about 3.30, and I looked and it was like, well, you can't, how is this, A, how is this not already started? Because it looks like it started. How many people do you reckon there were? I don't know, with, I don't know how, as many people as you could fit comfortably into, uncomfortably into Times Square, it was that many. I mean, thousands. Right. Thousands. And I'd gone to the Spanish thing and thought, oh, this is nice. There's like hundreds of Spaniards here. And then you look at the other studios and you go, okay, there's a lot of them have travelled.
I went and watched the England game with a friend of mine, John, and he was like, oh, we'll meet in this bar in central Manhattan. The amount of Argentinians just everywhere, like in shops, decking themselves out with various outfits, flags. They've all got the flags on the back of their rucksacks and stuff like that. But what I will say is that this bar that we watched the England game in, absolutely full of England fans.
