It's it's for real. 173 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 4: It's serious to them, I think, because it looks funny 174 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 4: watching this sport and it's just such an oddity and 175 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 4: you don't see it anytime except for every four years, 176 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:18,239 Speaker 4: And every four. 177 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 3: Years, I think, what in the hell is that sport? 178 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 4: And I'm not trying to knock the skill that it 179 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 4: takes and the dedication that these athletes have put into this, 180 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 4: but it's just bizarre to see and it's funny to watch. Frankly, 181 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 4: it looks like maybe they're scrubbing the ice, like you know, 182 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 4: Janitor's making sure it's all nice and clean. 183 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 2: It looks fun, it looks interesting. 184 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,319 Speaker 3: Yes, sure, Olympians, and apparently it. 185 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:42,439 Speaker 2: Gets pretty, it gets heated. 186 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: Okay, we always have. This is the one you're gonna 187 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: have to help me with a little bit. The ice 188 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:50,199 Speaker 1: dancing controversy we had, so the American team, they're expected 189 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: to win. 190 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 2: Goal bad absolutely right, all right, they. 191 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: End up in second scoring in ice anything is always 192 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 1: a mess, and we got another mess here. 193 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 4: This is the problem, even if you think about Jordan 194 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 4: Childs and gymnastics, when you have subjective scoring and you 195 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 4: have and this is how they try to manage it 196 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 4: by having a large number of judges and I believe 197 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,079 Speaker 4: they dropped the highest and the lowest score. They do 198 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,679 Speaker 4: their best to try and even out any subjectivity. 199 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 3: But when you have yes. 200 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 4: Our our American team that was expected to win gold, 201 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:22,959 Speaker 4: chalk and baits is what they're called, Madison. 202 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 3: Chalk and Evan Bates. That's pretty good cock and baits. 203 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 1: Right, that's a reality show or a sitcom or a 204 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: cop buddy show. 205 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 3: A cop duo is what it sounded like. Doesn't sound 206 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 3: like a law firm. It sounds like a cop duo. 207 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: It was Chalk and Baits Chock and Baits or Delicious 208 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: Miami Vice or something and round. 209 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 3: Two Delicious Chalk and Baits today. Okay, sorry, we're going 210 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,200 Speaker 3: off the rails. It's Sunday. Forgive us you all. 211 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 4: We are maybe a little travel tired, but having some 212 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 4: fun regardless. But this was a serious controversy because listen 213 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 4: to this, and this was like fifteen thousand immediately signatures 214 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 4: asking the International Skating Union to review this. But they 215 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 4: were favorites going to gold. The French judge gave the 216 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:12,320 Speaker 4: French team a score seven points seven to one points 217 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 4: higher than Madison Chalk and Evan Bates. That's context ridiculous. 218 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 2: Okay, now I know that the judge, I think there 219 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 2: were nine judges, five of them had Americans in the 220 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 2: top right, but still, how big of a discrepancy or 221 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,719 Speaker 2: some of those other judges. 222 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,319 Speaker 3: Not anywhere close? And listen to this. 223 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 4: Chalk and Baits got silver by finishing one point four 224 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 4: to three points below the French team. So that French 225 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 4: judge one hundred percent is the reason why the American 226 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 4: team did not get gold. 227 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:43,679 Speaker 2: And remind us where the team is from. 228 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: The got gold France, and the judging question French. These 229 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,680 Speaker 1: quinkytings happened. These things happen all the time. Were you 230 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: also put in context for me what ice dancing is. 231 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,319 Speaker 4: It's just it's it's figure skating, but with flair, I guess, 232 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 4: you know, so they're more you know, they're dancing on 233 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 4: the ice, they're doing tricks. But it's less about the 234 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 4: actual point system. 235 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 3: It's it's a lot. You get a lot of artistic 236 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 3: expression points. 237 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 2: So they have due that. There's an what's the other 238 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,079 Speaker 2: thing called where the dual, the. 239 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 3: The team figure skating, the two. 240 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 1: Where it's a man and woman, the pairs, Yes, that's 241 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 1: called what pairs figure skating? 242 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 4: I think it's pairs figure skating, which. 243 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 3: Is it's it's more, it's more showy. 244 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 2: It's just immediately what you would think different. 245 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 3: Yes, yes, and it's fun. It's showy. There's a lot 246 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,599 Speaker 3: of artistic expression. But again, all of these. 247 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 4: Types of performances are the judging is so subjective, and 248 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 4: you see these types of controversies all the time. This 249 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:44,199 Speaker 4: one is fairly glaring. However, the International Skating Using Union 250 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 4: stood by and they keep calling it a controversial judging decision. 251 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 4: But look, if anytime you have a judge from a 252 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 4: country give their country a higher score. 253 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 3: That happens a lot. 254 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 4: But this is this is clearing seven points, seven to 255 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,199 Speaker 4: one points higher than the US. 256 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 1: Is there no talk of not allowing that a judge 257 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: from you can't you shouldn't score. 258 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 4: I actually think that would be so fair. I think 259 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 4: that would be so fair. However, that might offset countries 260 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 4: who don't like Look, you want to think that judges 261 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 4: going into this type of competition the Olympics wouldn't hold 262 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 4: any grudges against any country. 263 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 3: You know, that stuff happens. You know that stuff bleeds in. 264 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,439 Speaker 4: So maybe having your own country have a judge there 265 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 4: negates or offsets perhaps maybe another country that is I 266 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 4: don't know, I don't know if. 267 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 3: You just get into it. 268 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: You just made a suggestion I didn't think about, but 269 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: now makes sense. And as a damn shame you think 270 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 1: that's possible. Those judges at the Olympics are punishing the 271 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: United States of America. 272 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 3: I think people think that all the time. 273 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, and I guarantee you that chalk and Baits feel 274 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 4: that way as well. 275 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 2: Okay, chock and. 276 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 3: I don't want to just say chock and bits as 277 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:54,199 Speaker 3: much as possible, you. 278 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 1: Know, it's so much better than Amy and DJ podcasts, 279 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: the Chalk and Baits show. 280 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,719 Speaker 3: Holmes and Robock, I guess you could have done that. That 281 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 3: sounds like a law firm. 282 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 2: Now, Robock and Holmes. Yeah, that's the way she go Anyway. 283 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: One last controversy we want to get to, and this 284 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:08,319 Speaker 1: is one that just I hated. 285 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 2: This one. The Ukrainian Yes, what was his event? 286 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 3: Skeletons skeleton? 287 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 4: He well, he was a competer in the skeleton Loge, correct, 288 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 4: is that what it is? 289 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 2: But competitor? You competer? They they both mean computer. 290 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's again travel brain. 291 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 2: That's your normal brain. 292 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 4: That is true, But I like to blame it on 293 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 4: something other than just my malfunction. But yes, Vladislav harak 294 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 4: Kei you said it so well the last time led 295 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 4: is what he goes by, Harris Kevitch. That's how you 296 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 4: say it, Lot haras Kevitch. So, yes, he was disqualified 297 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 4: by the International Olympic Committee because he wore that what 298 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 4: they called a memorial helmet honoring Ukrainian war victims, specifically 299 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 4: Ukrainian athletes who were killed during the Russian conflict. And look, 300 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 4: the IOC said, you cannot make political statements while you're 301 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,199 Speaker 4: competing at the Olympics. And that does make a lot 302 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 4: of sense. And he refused to not wear that helmet. 303 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 3: He could have worn another helmet. I believe they let. 304 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 4: Him practice in it even but during competition they said, 305 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 4: you cannot wear that helmet. 306 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 3: He refused, and so he was disqualified. 307 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: They said, even even immediately after the race, they can 308 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: hand you your helmet, do your post race interviews with 309 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: it under your knock yourself out there. Haven't could compromise. 310 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: There was another way to do this. And he's standing by. 311 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: And this guy was not just some guy who wasn't 312 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 1: He is a serious contender, So he's good. And what 313 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: that would have meant to his country to seek to 314 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 1: applaud him. Look, he's standing by. This is what he 315 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 1: wanted to do. I just hate all this going on 316 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: in that country. He is able to go to the 317 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: Olympics but not competing. That's gotta be away. Everybody could 318 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: I don't know Rhodes. I love the IOC rule that 319 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 1: you know what, this is different. We are different. This 320 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: is not about this is not about countries hating each other. 321 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 1: This is one place in the field of competition that 322 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 1: we are not making political statements. 323 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 2: I'm okay with that. 324 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 4: I'm okay with that too, and I think that actually 325 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 4: needs to be in place, especially when you have such ah, 326 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 4: I mean just some like real conflicts, but emotional conflicts, 327 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 4: even perceived conflicts. You want to make sure you say 328 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 4: it doesn't matter who you are, what country you're from, 329 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 4: we don't allow it. 330 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 3: I appreciate that rule as well. 331 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 4: And in terms of lad this is a classic example 332 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 4: of someone cutting off their nose despite their face. Yes, 333 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 4: he could have still made a statement and still competed. 334 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 3: He could have. 335 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 4: I like the idea of yes, put your helmet on, 336 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 4: hold your helmet during your post race interview, talk about 337 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 4: your helmet, show it to the world. 338 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 3: But just when you're there competing. 339 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 4: You're an Olympian, Yes you are representing Ukraine, but you're 340 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 4: a part of the Olympic spirit and a part of 341 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 4: the Olympic Games, and you have to acknowledge that's a 342 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 4: role you're taking on. 343 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: Didn't they even say that he would allow they let 344 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: them do a black armband or something. Yes, we made 345 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: more sessions and I just want to leave space for 346 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 1: I have no friends and family. He's probably lost the 347 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 1: past three years. This meant something to him, and he 348 00:15:58,840 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 1: stood by it. 349 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 2: I just wish he would. 350 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 1: Have been able to compete. We're gonna continue here, folks. 351 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 1: We're gonna hit on the biggest and they are not 352 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: bigger names than these Americans. They are literally the faces 353 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: of the games, and they are faltering left and right 354 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 1: and in some ways in the most horrific, heartbreaking and 355 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 1: historic ways imaginable. Stay here, Oh, I've just realized. Did 356 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 1: you see me reactor by to come out? I just 357 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 1: forgot something about the curling situation of the double tap thing. 358 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: He was mad because we were talking about at the top. 359 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: If you're listening, you know what we're talking about, the 360 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 1: double tap. He did double tap. Of course, everybody went 361 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 1: on social media, and you see this curler. Once you 362 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 1: release it, you're not supposed to touch it again, and you're 363 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 1: certainly supposed not supposed touch it when it goes over 364 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 1: a certain line. You see in my opini ropes clearly. 365 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 2: Him touching this thing twice. And the second time he 366 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 2: touched it, he touched it in an area that, no 367 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,360 Speaker 2: matter what, a hand is never supposed to touch the granite, 368 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,159 Speaker 2: and you see his finger. They got freeze frames of it. 369 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 4: All though the sol right, but according to the rules correct, 370 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 4: they could not go back and review it. 371 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 3: That's not part of what they do. 372 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:22,159 Speaker 4: So they sent the referees the judges closer to that 373 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,120 Speaker 4: line to make sure that it didn't happen again. But 374 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 4: they don't have the rules set in place where they 375 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 4: go back and review tape, which I actually think is unfair. 376 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 3: I appreciate the review. 377 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 4: I know that it takes time, but you want it 378 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,200 Speaker 4: to be right and you want it to be fair. 379 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 1: Ropes the technology you see with every tennis match you 380 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 1: watch right player Challenge. They put up the technology and 381 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: they can see exactly where that ball landed, where there's 382 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: in or out. We can do that and you can't 383 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 1: tell me. You can tell two fingers touched the damn stone. 384 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: We shouldn't have a controversy to this. I don't know 385 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 1: it that well, but they are trying to make some 386 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,679 Speaker 1: improvements there. Ropes you talked about at the top, the 387 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:01,679 Speaker 1: biggest team USA shockers continue. We just saw a couple 388 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 1: of them. Actually today, let's go with Aaron Jackson Robes. 389 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:09,439 Speaker 1: She is the first black woman to ever win an 390 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 1: individual medal at the Winter Olympics. She did it in 391 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,160 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two in Beijing. 392 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 2: Were you there for that? 393 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,439 Speaker 3: I was, no, that's the that's the first Olympics we 394 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,159 Speaker 3: didn't go to. You were supposed to go to. 395 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,159 Speaker 2: Bag and that's right. It was all still COVID and 396 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 2: that we were still quarantine, that's right. 397 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 4: And I had just come back from Tokyo that summer 398 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 4: because it had been delivered for the pandemic. So that 399 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 4: was the first Olympics I hadn't gone to in over 400 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 4: a decade. 401 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 2: And obviously I knew that, and you were going. 402 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:34,879 Speaker 3: Because you were supposed to go. 403 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:35,959 Speaker 2: You were supposed to go. 404 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 1: But she made history there. So she's coming back to 405 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,640 Speaker 1: defend her title. In the five hundred meters speech gage 406 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 1: oh oh my god, stars in the crowd Snoop was there, 407 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 1: Jake Paul was there, right, you see everybody to see 408 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 1: her do this thing and robes. She didn't not even 409 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,359 Speaker 1: not defend her title. She didn't make the podium. 410 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 3: She finished fifth. That's a tough time. 411 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,880 Speaker 4: Anytime I see someone finish fourth, fifth, sixth, that's got Look, 412 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 4: it's amazing, you're but that's got to be extra heartbreaking 413 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 4: because you're so close. And she was the gold metal defender, 414 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 4: So there was a lot of pressure and a lot 415 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 4: of expectations placed on her, and look, being the first, 416 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 4: I can only imagine how that adds even more pressure. 417 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 4: You've just now represented your people in such a magnificent way. 418 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 3: You don't see a lot of black and brown people 419 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:21,160 Speaker 3: in the Winter Olympics. 420 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 2: You just don't. 421 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 4: And so to have someone like her win gold and 422 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 4: then sort of go back out and get fifth, it's 423 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 4: that's heartbreaking. 424 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: It happens, absolutely happens. The Mikayla Schiffrin thinges I think, 425 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 1: right she had all eyes are on Lindsay Gone. But 426 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 1: Mikayla Schiffrin is on the world's circuit of skiers, the 427 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 1: most dominant skier in the. 428 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,919 Speaker 4: Past every years, She's in every commercial you see in 429 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 4: between the Olympics. I mean, I feel like she's one 430 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,160 Speaker 4: of the ones I see, yes constantly. Yeah, she's got 431 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 4: a cute, marketable look, and so the all of the 432 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:57,880 Speaker 4: brand's love for she is all over the place. 433 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 3: So yeah, she is a household name. But I did realize. 434 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 3: So we watched her race today and she was in 435 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 3: did you come in sixth place? 436 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 4: I believe this was this giant slalom and but I 437 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 4: didn't realize this. Today marked her eighth straight Olympic event 438 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 4: where she failed to medal spin disaster. She was having 439 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,879 Speaker 4: such a tough go at it at the Olympics. She 440 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 4: does have one more race on Wednesday, that's the slalom, 441 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 4: and this is her strongest event. 442 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 3: But again, think about it. 443 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 4: So you see the pressure that these Olympians face when 444 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 4: they're expected to win gold or they're expected to podium, 445 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 4: But how about when you've gone through a streak like 446 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 4: that where you haven't gotten on the podium for eight 447 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,919 Speaker 4: straight events, and you see you're the face of so 448 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,120 Speaker 4: much of this Winter Olympics, at least from the United 449 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 4: States perspective, and now you got one last event people 450 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 4: say it's your strongest. 451 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 3: That is I would not want to be in that 452 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 3: pressure cooker. 453 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 1: I can't remember the year, but this this young lady, 454 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 1: when was that freak accident she. 455 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,120 Speaker 2: Had she crashed last year year before. 456 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 1: I can't remember when it was rogues, but she actually 457 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 1: said it gave her PCSD to where she had a 458 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 1: freak accident on a slope and ends up getting punctured 459 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,920 Speaker 1: by something on the course when she crashes in her 460 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,920 Speaker 1: abdomen took her a while to come back, and she said, 461 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 1: I simply am not skiing with the same fearlessness. She said, 462 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,439 Speaker 1: I see women going down that slope who are making 463 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: cuts and turns those same ones. I back off a 464 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 1: little bit, so she doesn't have the speed and robe 465 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,919 Speaker 1: this has been. She was about to pick up the 466 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 1: team gold. All she had to do was finish what 467 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,360 Speaker 1: twelfth or thirteenth? She ended up fifteenth, and they didn't 468 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 1: get a medal, so she has had a right now. 469 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:41,879 Speaker 1: Oh it's tough. 470 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 2: I ugh. 471 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 4: I know. 472 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 3: They did a side by side of her this morning. 473 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 4: I saw where when she was taking the turn to 474 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 4: exactly what you're talking about, and you can see the 475 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 4: snow flying off of her and the skier who you know, 476 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 4: who won gold. There was no snow inter You have 477 00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 4: to be tight and that takes fearlessness. 478 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:03,120 Speaker 3: And she's slowing down deliberately because she doesn't want to fall. 479 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 4: She doesn't want to crash, So she's got this big 480 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 4: snowplow basically, which slows her down. 481 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 3: And look, milliseconds count, not just seconds. 482 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 2: And rose you talked about pressure. 483 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: You have one race to get them mount who knows 484 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,439 Speaker 1: that this will be her last Olympics. But you have 485 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 1: one race to get a medal, and then you got 486 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: to wait four years for this opportunity. 487 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 2: Again, you talk about pressure ropes, that is it's too much, Yes, 488 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 2: it's too much. 489 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:32,880 Speaker 1: The other of course, Lindsay Vaughn, she's had what three surgeries, 490 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:34,479 Speaker 1: and she is she out now getting out. 491 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 3: She's getting out today, I believe, of the hospital. 492 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 1: Of course, she has been the face of American skiing 493 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 1: for a long time, in the face of these Olympics, 494 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 1: and we were rooting for her for what she was 495 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:47,119 Speaker 1: trying to overcome. That was a disastrous moment and scary 496 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,400 Speaker 1: as hell to see that crash. But that's another big 497 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,359 Speaker 1: name athlete. This is one. If she didn't metal, we 498 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 1: would go, Okay, we get that she was out there. 499 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: We would have applauded him, been proud, but still to 500 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 1: see her break her leg in such a devastating way. 501 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 4: At forty one, and she had she was going to 502 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 4: be competing in three events, I believe, so this was 503 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:06,440 Speaker 4: the first of the three and look, yes, that was devastating. 504 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 4: I have to say now, just thank god, I hate 505 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,880 Speaker 4: to say, just a broken leg, but thank god, that's 506 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 4: all it was. She'll she'll be able to you know, 507 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 4: she can walk. She can she's just probably. 508 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 3: Not going to ski competitively at that level. Ever. 509 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 1: Again, she was one of those you're just nervous, you're 510 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:24,919 Speaker 1: excited and you want to do well. But that was 511 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 1: one if she would have say, you know what, guys, 512 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 1: I changed my mind how to say her dad would 513 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 1: have to thank God, don't do it. But still the 514 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 1: story these Olympics ropes, no matter what happens from here 515 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: on out, is probably going to be Ilia Malanin. 516 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:41,640 Speaker 3: Ilia Malan. 517 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 4: If you google when we were looking just to kind 518 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 4: of make sure we covered all of the controversies and upsets. 519 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 4: When you google that, it's all him, quad God Ilia Malanin. 520 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 4: It is probably the biggest story in terms of upsets 521 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 4: so far at this Olympics for this twenty one year 522 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:05,120 Speaker 4: old figure skater phenom, who, unlike it, had pretty much 523 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:09,200 Speaker 4: the opposite situation coming into these games that Mikhaela Schiffrin had. 524 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 4: He has won every single competition he has entered for 525 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 4: the past two years. I think that's fourteen Street fourteen 526 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 4: comes out on top number one. 527 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 3: He doesn't fall, Nope, and he does the most dangerous 528 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 3: tricks and moves that were previously banned. They're so scary 529 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 3: and dangerous and technically difficult. Fawn skates one hundred percent. 530 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 3: And when he had seven quad jumps I believe in 531 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,360 Speaker 3: his program that were scheduled, he fell on two of them, 532 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 3: and the and two other ones. He did one. 533 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 4: And then he did a double, a single and a double, 534 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 4: so he missed completely. 535 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 3: In terms of the tech part. 536 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 1: You didn't have to be a close follower of figure skating. 537 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 1: You don't have to know all the technical stuff. If 538 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 1: you were watching his performance, you knew what the hell 539 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 1: is this? What's going on? He was coming out of jumps. 540 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 1: It was clear to anybody why you didn't to know 541 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 1: how many axles he planned on doing, But you just 542 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 1: saw him jump in the air and he landed. 543 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,160 Speaker 2: Weird, what is going on? 544 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 1: It was a disaster start to finish robes and I 545 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,400 Speaker 1: and he was not beaten. Let's be clear here, there 546 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: is nobody that beat him on the ice except for himself. 547 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 2: It was him. 548 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 1: This is not one of those This was a complete 549 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 1: melt down, not a technical or I miss this or a 550 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 1: little mistake or a little uh hey, it just got 551 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 1: to him. 552 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,159 Speaker 4: There are some athletes where the metal is theirs to lose, 553 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 4: and that was him. 554 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,639 Speaker 3: Simone Biles, same thing. There are Michael Phelps. 555 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 4: There are a few athletes that you can name on 556 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 4: one hand that will go into these games and as 557 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 4: long as they don't get in their own way, there's no. 558 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 1: One even Yeah, that thing was around his neck kind 559 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 1: of a situation. But Robes, this has been and we're 560 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,640 Speaker 1: excited today to watch USA hockey, so excited about the game. 561 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,920 Speaker 1: We're back on the East Coast. I am now back 562 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 1: in New York. Would change, so it'll be nice. We'll 563 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 1: be watching starting what now three in the morning or four. 564 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,679 Speaker 3: It's going to be four for me letting you know, okay, ok. 565 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, we want to hop on and give you some updates, 566 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,440 Speaker 1: and some of the updates for the United States are 567 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: not good right now. Behind do you have oh damn it, 568 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 1: do you have it in front of you the official. 569 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 3: Metal count, official metal count. 570 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,159 Speaker 1: I have it here now. Norway is still ahead with 571 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 1: twenty four overall. Italy now has twenty two. US has seventeen. 572 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,400 Speaker 1: Now in the gold medal category, the US is way behind, 573 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,400 Speaker 1: if you will, eleven for Norway, eight for Italy, five 574 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 1: for the US five for the Netlands, five for Sweden, 575 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: but robes there's not that many more opportunities for gold 576 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 1: medals for the US. At least it would have to 577 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 1: be some surprises, I should say, because some of the 578 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,400 Speaker 1: expectations of gold medals they were going to pick up 579 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 1: have gone away. 580 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 3: They yes, evaporated. But it is nice to see Italy. 581 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 4: I always think it's fun to see the home country surge. 582 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:54,399 Speaker 3: It does speak so highly. 583 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 4: Anyone who has been involved in sports, team sports in 584 00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 4: any way or is a fan of watching you know 585 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,440 Speaker 4: the home court advantage, it is real, and the Olympics 586 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:04,720 Speaker 4: always prove it to be true. 587 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,919 Speaker 1: Sometimes the home judge advantage if you're ice dancing. But 588 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 1: they other disappoint I think every games, the US sends 589 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,440 Speaker 1: the biggest delegation. It doesn't change in the Winter Games either. 590 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,680 Speaker 1: We have two hundred and thirty five athletes. We are 591 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:21,120 Speaker 1: the largest delegation there. Next up is Canada with about 592 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 1: two hundred and ten, and then Italy has one hundred 593 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 1: ninety five. Germany has one hundred and eighty nine. 594 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,880 Speaker 3: I believe you're just rolling off those numbers. 595 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 2: I don't know, it's weird. I retain things. 596 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 4: Yes, it's really unfortunate when we have an argument because 597 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 4: you remember everything. 598 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I can convince you that it's actually. 599 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 3: Accurate because I emotionally remember things. 600 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 2: Oh my goodness. 601 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: All right, folks, Well it has been an emotional week 602 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 1: or so of the Olympics. 603 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:46,919 Speaker 2: We are enjoying it. I hope you're enjoying it. 604 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,919 Speaker 1: But no matter what we talk about athletes faltering, not 605 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 1: meeting some expectations, there is I none of us could 606 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 1: do a half of what these folks are doing. And 607 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,159 Speaker 1: they are representing the US. And I am proud of 608 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,119 Speaker 1: every one of them, maybe no more so than the 609 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 1: quad God for bringing home a gold medal for the 610 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 1: team in that team event. 611 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 2: He's a hero for that. 612 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 3: That's very important, important to note. And you know, look, 613 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:11,400 Speaker 3: we love the Olympics. 614 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,360 Speaker 4: We always have, whether we're covering them at the Olympics 615 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 4: or watching them actually watching them from home, I feel 616 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:18,480 Speaker 4: like I get to see so much more of them 617 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,679 Speaker 4: when you're actually at the Olympics, you're trying to go 618 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,920 Speaker 4: to events, and you're you're so pulled in so many 619 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 4: different directions. It's hard to keep it all straight. To 620 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,919 Speaker 4: be able to be with several TV screens like we 621 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,160 Speaker 4: do it here and watch them all. It is fun 622 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:36,200 Speaker 4: to watch people who when you see young and even old. 623 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 4: Now you got people in their forties competing at the Olympics. 624 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 4: But when you see people so dedicated to hard work, 625 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 4: to being the best, it is so inspiring. And even 626 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,719 Speaker 4: when they follow the fact that they get back up. 627 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 4: I get chills thinking about it. The crowd roars because 628 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 4: they know it's a feat and an accomplishment just to 629 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 4: be there, and it is remarkable to watch. I'm inspired 630 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 4: every time I see these athletes go for the unthinkable. 631 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 2: Not just the Americans. 632 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 1: Every single athlete has a story there that is worth 633 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 1: in victory and defeat. You have tears running down your eyes, 634 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 1: you know.
