1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,760 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 2 00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:09,039 Speaker 2: Mark Thompson here for the night. It's our last night 3 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 2: before the Great Tim Conway Junior takes over this time period. 4 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 2: Goat Staffusch on the board, he's our sound design editor. Yeah, 5 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,119 Speaker 2: there's an oscar for that. There's an oscar for sound design. 6 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 2: I like that. One of the cool things they did 7 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 2: at the Oscars, this is a few years ago. I 8 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 2: thought this is one of the better presentational components of 9 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 2: the Oscars. They did a few years ago was they 10 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 2: showed you a scene. As it relates to sound design, 11 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 2: I'll just talk about that bar. But they did it 12 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 2: with writing. They did it with a bunch of stuff. 13 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 2: They showed you a scene without the sound design, without 14 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 2: all the sounds, just kind of the basic sounds from 15 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 2: the set almost, and then they put in the sound design. 16 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 2: Then they put in all of the footsteps, all of 17 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 2: the ambient sound, all of the big crashing sounds, etc. 18 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 2: And you just realized, Wow, the entire atmosphere of a film. 19 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 2: And this goes for streaming, episodic series, et cetera. It's 20 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 2: all established through the sound design, it's all added later, 21 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 2: all of it. So this idea somehow you can pick 22 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 2: up some I get it in some situations, ambient sound 23 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 2: on the set, but primarily the sounds that you hear 24 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 2: that create a texture for that moment. They are all 25 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 2: related to, you know, a really challenging job that's associated 26 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 2: with sound design. So that's the cinematic sound design. Here 27 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 2: on the radio side, the genius behind our sound design 28 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 2: is Steph So again, appreciate it.

You'll have about I want to say, 171 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 2: I'm chuckling because it's like if I say thirty seconds, 172 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 2: if you take thirty it'll probably cut you off at 173 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 2: the end, like it's like twenty five seconds or so, 174 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 2: and ask a question of Dian Warner will try to 175 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,439 Speaker 2: integrate those as best we can. Okay, and obviously through 176 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 2: the night you can leave any kind of message you want. 177 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 2: But with Diane Warren coming, there may be aspiring songwriters. 178 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 2: There might be people who are just curious about process, 179 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 2: et cetera, and feel free to way in. I went 180 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 2: to the theater last night. Yeah, I know, I'm sophisticated 181 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 2: like that. It was a premiere, the opening at the 182 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 2: Pasadena Playhouse. And you know, I get it where kind 183 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 2: of a movie town or used to be anyway, But man, 184 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 2: there's some great theater in this town and great live theater, 185 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 2: and the live theater experience is just really cool. And 186 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 2: here's why I love the passing in the Playhouse. There's 187 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 2: more leg room there. It's they designed that theater so well. 188 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 2: The acoustics are great, the leg room is there. I mean, 189 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 2: you know, if you go to a Broadway show, and 190 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 2: by the way, people who were in and are in 191 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 2: the current production of Amadeus which is playing there, they 192 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 2: are Broadway actors. That's a Broadway Tony Award winding actor 193 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 2: Jefferson Mays who plays the lead Sallyery. I saw him 194 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 2: on Broadway and he was astounding and won the Tony 195 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 2: for what I saw him. And so when I'm talking 196 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 2: about these people. They're right here in our community and 197 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 2: it's a great chance. And the other the guy who 198 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 2: plays Mozart, who plays Amadeus, he played in the Harry 199 00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 2: Potter Broadway show. So these are Broadway quality actors and 200 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,199 Speaker 2: that production is a Broadway quality production. And all of 201 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 2: these shows around Laar we're a big time place and 202 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 2: we have big time productions. So Lamorada Theater, same deal, 203 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,959 Speaker 2: all of this stuff. So last night was opening night 204 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 2: again for this Amadeus. You saw the movie maybe Amadeas 205 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 2: many years ago. It was based the movie on the play. 206 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 2: So the play and the stage production is really the 207 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 2: original and it had I think when it opened on Broadway, 208 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 2: it had Ian McKellen, you know, sir Ian McKellen plays 209 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 2: in the you know, Lord of the Rings. You know 210 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 2: in McKellen played was it Merlin, And it had Tim 211 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 2: Curry as Mozart, So these like major stars. Anyway, the 212 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 2: Amadeus stage show is back and it's at the Pasadena 213 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 2: Playhouse and it's brilliant, actually brilliant. You you'll go and 214 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 2: it's just you know, they created this uh uh. Peter 215 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 2: Schaefer is at the playwright who created this idea that 216 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 2: there was a competition between Salary and Mozart, and it is. 217 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,839 Speaker 2: You know, it's all fiction. There was no competition that 218 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 2: we know of between Salary and Mozart. But man, it 219 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 2: is played so beautifully. This Jefferson Mays, who is the lead, 220 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 2: plays Saliary with this kind of toxic resentment and then 221 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 2: the court. It's funny, it's moving, it's everything great. So 222 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 2: I recommend it again. You got to be up for 223 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 2: live theater, but I'll tell you this is a great 224 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 2: live theater experience if you're looking just to get your 225 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 2: feet wet. It's over at the Pasadena Playhouse. And you know, 226 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,319 Speaker 2: I didn't know anybody. It was weird. I felt kind 227 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 2: of like his opening night. I wish i'd known, you know, 228 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 2: it's somebody. I'm looking around. Everybody looks like somebody to me. 229 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 6: You know. 230 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 2: I went with Courtney. Oh cool, Yeah, so I knew her. Ye, 231 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 2: But you know, I'm periscoping up looking at a whodi 232 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 2: who's here? Maybe these are theater people. Seem like a 233 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 2: lot of people who are in the theater obviously are there, 234 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 2: but I think they're also they have a subscription base, 235 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 2: so those people are all there. Anyway, it was really great. 236 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,679 Speaker 2: Ama Dais is a great show, and I know it 237 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 2: just maybe you know, it's kind of fun. I dressed 238 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 2: up a little bit for the theater, put on a tie, 239 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 2: you know, fancy pants. Yeah, I kind of put it together. 240 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 2: That's a great thing about la You know, you got 241 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,679 Speaker 2: guys like me putting a tie on, and the guy 242 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 2: in front of me is like you wearing cutoff shorts. 243 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 2: You know, it's just the it's the full range. But 244 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 2: Amadis is there at the passing the playhouse and it 245 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 2: is good and I think you'll really, you'll really like it. 246 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 4: I love that movie exact from the eighties. It was great. 247 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 4: Is it kind of similar to that? 248 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 2: It's exactly like it, but it just comes to life 249 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 2: in a lot in the now. In the movie, it's 250 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 2: f Murray Abraham plays Saliary and Tom Holtz plays Mozart. 251 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 2: And it's the same idea, right that there's this kid 252 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 2: Mozart who is a prodigy, who comes up into the 253 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:13,439 Speaker 2: court where they're all of these very established, rigid kind 254 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 2: of rules, and he breaks everything up. And that is true. 255 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 2: Mozart was like this flamboyant dude, like big colors and yeah, oh, well, 256 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 2: he was a prodigy, he wrote. Maybe you can check this, Eileen. 257 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 2: I think he wrote a bunch of small pieces of 258 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 2: one sort or another when he was five years old. 259 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 2: Then by the time he was eleven years old, somebody 260 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 2: will check this. 261 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 4: Says he was five years old when he composed his 262 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 4: first piece, right. 263 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 2: And then when he was eleven. By then he had 264 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 2: written concertos more than one when he was eleven years old, 265 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 2: isn't that right? And by the time he's you know, 266 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 2: into his teens, he's one of the greatest composers in 267 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 2: the history of Europe. He was a remarkable prodigy obviously, 268 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 2: I mean, one of a kind. And so that's why 269 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 2: the story you know of Mozart is such an interesting 270 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:25,119 Speaker 2: one to mine for this other narrative, which is completely fictitious, 271 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 2: that that Saliary is sort of jealous of this kid 272 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 2: who's come up. But Salary was a real guy, as 273 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 2: was Mozart. Isn't that right? Wasn't I want to say 274 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 2: that by the time he was he died when he 275 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 2: was thirty five. 276 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 4: Thirty five, Yeah, so you. 277 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 2: Know, by the time he hit twenty, he was he 278 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 2: was the you know, the guy. And there's a last 279 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 2: thing about Mozart that I know, the uh, the idea 280 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 2: that he died in a pauper's grave is a little overplayed. 281 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 2: I mean, he was he didn't have money because he 282 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 2: wouldn't take like the get Her, He wouldn't take regular sponsorships. 283 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 2: You know, he didn't want to feel like he from 284 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 2: what I was reading, like he was bound by that 285 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 2: kind of relationship. He'd liked to write. What he wanted 286 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 2: to write was sort of his thing. So he didn't 287 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 2: have money and didn't have a lot of money at 288 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 2: the end, but he wasn't a pauper, you know, he 289 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 2: wasn't destitute at the end. But anyway, that was my 290 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 2: experience last night. It was pretty great. And I kept 291 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 2: we had to walk to the car, like, you know, 292 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 2: five blocks, and I kept thinking, if it starts raining, 293 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 2: now we are done, you know, we are dressed up 294 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 2: like for a stage opening, and it's going to be over. 295 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 2: But the rain, of course, came through the late night hour, 296 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 2: through much of the day to day, and there's more 297 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 2: to come, so we'll keep you posted on that through 298 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 2: the night.

I mean, that's real talent, 491 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 2: real talent. So Diane Warren, if you're an Academy voter, 492 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 2: vote for her and vote for the song Dear Me 493 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:51,399 Speaker 2: Best Original Song. 494 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 495 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,160 Speaker 2: So much fun to talk to Diane Warren. We're still 496 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,959 Speaker 2: all just kind of a buzzing about how cool it 497 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 2: was to speak with her. Flash flood warnings posted there 498 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 2: is a little break in the rain. Depending on where 499 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 2: you are right now, snow continues in the mountains. They're 500 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:20,640 Speaker 2: going to get slammed by a lot of snow this week, 501 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:26,119 Speaker 2: four to eight inches in the mountains and the foothills. 502 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 2: It's a god there's more rain tomorrow and Wednesday. It 503 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:37,160 Speaker 2: was like a biblical plague or something like right around 504 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:42,400 Speaker 2: midday to day, the wind, the rain. I was worried 505 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,959 Speaker 2: about the Thompson estate. I was worried about things leaking. 506 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,160 Speaker 2: You know, that gift shop we just had it put 507 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 2: in there at the compound could have easily leaked, So 508 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:59,399 Speaker 2: be careful at your place. It's going to be pretty crazy. Meanwhile, 509 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 2: the Olympics are going on. Have you been watching There 510 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:09,119 Speaker 2: has been a cheating scandal in something that I've been 511 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 2: watching closely. I've really gotten into, not kidding, curling me too. 512 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,159 Speaker 4: I am obsessed with curling. I want to do that. 513 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:20,960 Speaker 4: I'm like, that's the one sport where I'm like, I 514 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:21,879 Speaker 4: could maybe do that. 515 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 2: I don't know, it's I think it's a lot harder 516 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:27,240 Speaker 2: than it looks like. When those you know, the sweepers 517 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 2: are down there, they have to go down there and 518 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,640 Speaker 2: make sure that they don't make contact with any other 519 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 2: discs right any of the other stones, as they call it. 520 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 4: Kind of like shuffle board. 521 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, but it gets crowded down there. I'm just saying 522 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,800 Speaker 2: you need there are a lot of skills that come 523 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 2: into play at once. And the way that they. 524 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 4: They make it look easy. 525 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, the way they it's so incredibly accurate, the way 526 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 2: they throw so apparently there is a bit of a controversy. 527 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 2: Canadian curler are facing accusations of double touch infractions. The 528 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:12,600 Speaker 2: Swedes and the Swiss are both accusing the Canadian curlers 529 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 2: of these infractions. Mark Kennedy is a Canadian curler, denies 530 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 2: this cheating allegations and has responded aggressively. The World Curling 531 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 2: Federation clarified the double touch rule and will position judges 532 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:42,720 Speaker 2: to monitor violations at future Olympic events. Again, the Olympics 533 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 2: bring the very best curlers together, maybe the very best cheaters. 534 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 2: You can tell me. During the men's match against Sweden, 535 00:29:54,520 --> 00:30:00,480 Speaker 2: the Canadians are accused of grazing the stone with their 536 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 2: fingertips after they'd already released it. That's known as a 537 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:11,600 Speaker 2: double touch, highly illegal. Canada's Mark Kennedy took the allegation 538 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 2: to heart and didn't react well snap back. He used 539 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 2: verbiage that you typically do not associate with Canadians. He 540 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 2: said it so the whole arena could understand it, he 541 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 2: said f Off. Well, the war of words intensified an 542 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 2: eight to six Canadian victory, and Sweden is alleging that 543 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 2: Canada's double touches were so underhanded, literally that they circumvented 544 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 2: the electronic monitoring equipment, which generally uses sensors on the 545 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 2: handle but not on the stone itself. So you can, 546 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 2: if you want to think of it this way, you 547 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 2: can send the stone, as it's called, down the ice, 548 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 2: and you can even give a little extra touch to 549 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 2: the stone because again there're no sensors on the stone, 550 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 2: only on the handle. He's still accusing of us of cheating. 551 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 2: And I didn't like it, said Kennedy from Canada, so 552 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 2: I told him where to stick it. So touching the 553 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 2: stone at any time during the forward motion is not allowed, 554 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 2: as you might imagine, images circulated online seem to show 555 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:38,560 Speaker 2: that the granite stone is being grazed by Canadian fingertips, 556 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 2: and on Saturday, the Swiss men's team accused Canada of 557 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 2: the same infraction. Kennedy, for his part, thinks that it 558 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 2: was the result of a conspiracy against his team. This 559 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 2: crew doesn't want the Canadians winning the way he saw it, 560 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 2: the Swedes were trying to win by technicality instead of skill. 561 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 2: On the ice and on social media, there was speculation 562 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 2: that the Swedes planted a secret camera to capture all 563 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 2: of this. They have come up with a plan to 564 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,800 Speaker 2: catch teams in the act, said Kennedy. It was planned 565 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 2: right from the word go. But hey, so if you're 566 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 2: not doing it, then done. Don't worry about them catching 567 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 2: teams in the act anyway. The World Curling People announced 568 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 2: that they will position judges to monitor the double touching 569 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 2: violations at future Olympic events. 570 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 4: I mean, you would think they'd already. 571 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 2: Have that meets. Yeah, I'm kind of surprised by this, 572 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 2: but the real surprise, by the way, it's pretty cool. 573 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,640 Speaker 2: I'm always rooting for the oldest people and everything to 574 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:48,800 Speaker 2: do well. And two moms from the US in their 575 00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 2: forties won gold and bronze in the Olympic bob sled Showdown. 576 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:58,760 Speaker 2: Nice not bad. Myers Taylor came from behind in the 577 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 2: fourth and final heat, lining and banking cleanly into the 578 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 2: steep curves and dropping smoothly into the track straightaways to 579 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 2: win her first career gold. She's forty one years old. 580 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:16,440 Speaker 2: German Laura Nolty, aged twenty seven, took silver, and Myers 581 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:22,720 Speaker 2: Taylor I'm sorry, and Kaylee Humphrey. Myers Taylor's a forty 582 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:29,200 Speaker 2: one year old. Kaylee Humphreys is forty. She got the bronze. 583 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 2: Pretty terrific to see older people doing well at the 584 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:38,880 Speaker 2: Olympics and they say, you're you know, forty year old's 585 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 2: like myself are all done.
