1
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: R ring ring ring Ring. I still laugh when we

2
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: do it. I love ring ring ring ring ring.

3
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 2: And you know what, there's nothing specific to Paris about them, Like,

4
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 2: we're going to do this for Milan for twenty twenty six,

5
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 2: assuming they'll have us back. We're going to do this

6
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 2: for Los Angeles in twenty twenty eight. We're going to

7
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 2: do this in Salt Lake City in twenty thirty. The

8
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 2: list goes on. Can I say not me having La

9
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 2: Pride right now? Okay? So are we are we chaining

10
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 2: our two now? On the LA Olympics of it all

11
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 2: A little.

12
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: Bit like I don't know, like the the so I've

13
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: been kind of on the fence about the Olympics in

14
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: LA and twenty twenty eight of it all because I

15
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: live here and I'm telling you it's not necessarily infrastructure

16
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 1: wise tenable to have more people here. But I will

17
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: say the cultural you know moment that was the handoff.

18
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: It was a lot of fun, and I was like,

19
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: you know, it is fun to have the Olympics in LA.

20
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: I mean like in terms of the way that they

21
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: little did our words. Maybe I just like Words of

22
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: a Feather by Billie Eilish that much.

23
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 2: Maybe you just that I got emotional seeing Doctor Dre

24
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 2: up there tbh.

25
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: It was cool. It was cool.

26
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 2: That was cool. Yeah, you know, we're getting so ahead

27
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,639
Speaker 2: of ourselves. Let's get to the two guys stuff first.

28
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 2: I mean, maybe this all kind of this.

29
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,559
Speaker 1: Feels like two guys. I mean, essentially making it about

30
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: a pop girlly immediately, and even even Doctor Drey and

31
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: I haven't even started on Anthony Keatis And how how

32
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: do he is? So that we're in two guysland.

33
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 2: I knew you were going to talk about Anthony. I

34
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 2: mean to say nothing of the long Beach of it all.

35
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 2: That was a long beach show and the y was

36
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 2: very spring break can kun. But we're in La. Oh right,

37
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 2: we're in La. But yeah, oh my gosh, Matt, how

38
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 2: do you feel now that we've closed out the twenty

39
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 2: twenty four Olympic Games? And I just want to correct myself.

40
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 2: Twenty thirty is going to be in the French Alps.

41
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 2: We're going to be back in France in twenty thirty.

42
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 2: Twenty thirty four is maybe Salt Lake City.

43
00:01:58,360 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: So I was like kind of surprised that there were

44
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: turning to Salt Lake City so soon, because I feel

45
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: like we were just there because we were.

46
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 2: Two thousand and two. It was thirty two years ago.

47
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean it is twenty two years ago

48
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 2: from today, but it will be thirty two years from

49
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 2: the last Salt Lake City Games in twenty thirty four.

50
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 2: Does that make sense?

51
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: Yeah? Wow, old, we're gonna be old.

52
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 2: Or we're going to be old.

53
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: But I feel great. I think this was an amazing Olympics.

54
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: I think, you know, holistically, not only were they largely

55
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: and roundly triumphant for the people that we were rooting for,

56
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: with notable exceptions which we'll get into, but I have

57
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:37,399
Speaker 1: to command the presentation of the Olympics themselves by NBC Peacock,

58
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: I mean the multiview and I Heeart Radio and I

59
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 1: Heart Radio. I mean, just like overall, like this was

60
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: easy to watch. You never felt like you were really

61
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: missing anything, and I thought everything was executed really well.

62
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 1: And in terms of Paris as the host, I thought

63
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: they did an amazing job. And it feel it felt

64
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: really seamless. It felt like a real celebration of their culture.

65
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: Like at moments it felt like very specific in niche

66
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: but also global in that weird French way. The humor

67
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: was there, the vibes were there, I mean, you know,

68
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: the like uh it just it felt like a real

69
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: success to me.

70
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,399
Speaker 2: And they did it.

71
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: What about that song? Is so New York coded to me?

72
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: That to close it out.

73
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 2: With my asi o funny? So she's she's amazing, incredible, incredible,

74
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 2: airy good. So okay, I must agree with you. I

75
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 2: could not have put better myself. I won't even attempt to.

76
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: Shot.

77
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 2: Okay, well, I'm going to make another retraction right now.

78
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: Okay.

79
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 2: I remember saying after the opening ceremony, I wish it

80
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 2: was in a stadium. I like that there was a balance,

81
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 2: because otherwise it would have felt redundant if both closing

82
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 2: and opening were going to be Instead de France, I

83
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 2: like either. I like one stadium, either in the opening

84
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 2: and I like the closing. I think one. It should

85
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 2: be one of each, one in a stadium, one incorporating

86
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 2: some processional aspect or some spatially distinct thing of the

87
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 2: host city Paris. I think reinvigorated the Olympics for the

88
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 2: World Tokyo. It was never going to really pop off,

89
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 2: of course with COVID. I don't even I don't remember

90
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 2: getting into Rio that much as much as I did

91
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 2: with this.

92
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: You know, I would agree. I think this was the

93
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: most successful. You felt like there was like some international

94
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: pride to be had whatever that means. Like it felt

95
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: like positive, you know what I'm saying. It felt largely positive.

96
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 1: And I look back on that opening ceremony finally as well,

97
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: I agree with you.

98
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 2: Me too, So I take that back. But I will say,

99
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 2: let's send up another Voyager spaceship and let's put in

100
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 2: the Simone Biles Jordan Childs bowing to Rebecca Androgy moment. Again,

101
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 2: I'm still not over this. That is that I maintain

102
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,239
Speaker 2: that is the best of what humanity has to offer

103
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 2: in that moment, sportsmanship, triumph, support, international relations, peace, and

104
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 2: we'll get into Jordan Chiles later, but overall, an incredible,

105
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 2: incredible two weeks. I'm very sad that it's over, and

106
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 2: I cannot say that about an Olympics since Beijing.

107
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, this was great. I mean I will also say,

108
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,679
Speaker 1: just and they did it. Like I said, we touched

109
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: on it briefly, but why not touch on it more

110
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: because this is technically like we're supposed to be recapping

111
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: the closing ceremony here, but like I was really surprised.

112
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: I had heard about the Tom Cruise of it all,

113
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: and then I was surprised to really enjoy it, you

114
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Like I was like, hey, when

115
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: they showed him on top of that stadium and he

116
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 1: looked back over his shoulder and then jumped off of it,

117
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, I mean, this is the sort of

118
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: maximalist La Hollywood Olympics that if we're going to go

119
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: for it, if we're gonna have the Olympics in La,

120
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: Tom Cruise should be jumping off, you know what I mean.

121
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: Like he should be we should have see his LA

122
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 1: plastic surgery. This should be that we should be unapologetic

123
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: about it. Pulled tight, but literally watching Tom, I was like, Okay,

124
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: this is warped in several different ways. But he is

125
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: definitely good at holding that frame, babe. I mean, he

126
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: is the movie star he is. He's looking good, he's

127
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: wearing the hell out of those pants. Loved that he

128
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: was running up the ramp and didn't want to run

129
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: like the five steps more to clear the ramp. He

130
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 1: hopped up off the ramp. Hello to Karen Bass and

131
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: Karen Bass, I mean that's my mayor right there. And

132
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: to know that she was on the global stage. Loved that,

133
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: loved that they had Simone doing the handoff. I mean,

134
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: Simone is the superstar of the Olympics. I think there's

135
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: no dispute there. And then when he sped off and

136
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: made it to Hollywood so fast on that little bike,

137
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: and you know, the rings were up on the Hollywood sign,

138
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: and I said, this could be fun. This could be

139
00:06:58,120 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. And then I loved everything that

140
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: happened in Long Beach, including the beach volleyball players that

141
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: were just their chillin' while Billy was performing. I love it,

142
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: just continued their game.

143
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 2: I love that, and Billy was. Billy was really into it.

144
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 2: I think one of the amazing live performances of Birds

145
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 2: of a Feather. Yeah, I mean there was a lipsyng

146
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 2: track definitely, Yeah, yeah, yeah. But she's that's just a

147
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 2: production thing.

148
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: Her live vocal is so good. And of course, I mean,

149
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, what is this lost cult. I was

150
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: at Coachella when she came out for Lana del Rey

151
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: and Billy's voice live. It's very special, very special girl.

152
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: And you know it from SNL.

153
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 2: Of course, we all know it from Oscars twice over Yeah,

154
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 2: I'm just saying being in the room is cool. So

155
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 2: to have been on that beach, I mean, shame on

156
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 2: those beach volleyball players for continuing to bump and set

157
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 2: because a legend was singing. A legend was singing. But

158
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 2: that's okay. Volleyball stops for no one. We will see

159
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 2: that in four years. I want them to do fencing

160
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 2: in front of pot.

161
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: Oh that would be amazing. Wow, that would be hard.

162
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: It's very hilly over there.

163
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know we open the flight, how about that?

164
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: Like, you know, we need to first of all. This

165
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: is why I say, like New York came back after

166
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: the pandemic in LA never did because as long as

167
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: the arc light in Las closed, LA is not working.

168
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: We don't have a working city until that arc light

169
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: is open again, and we need to do it.

170
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on speaking of Karen Bass? Ambitious, ambitious.

171
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 2: I think this is impossible, but I love to be

172
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 2: proven wrong. No Car Olympics in twenty twenty eight. She

173
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 2: wants this is the Los Angeles. Wants everyone the influx

174
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 2: of hundreds of thousands of tourists coming in. She wants

175
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 2: everyone to be able to access every Olympic venue through

176
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 2: public transit. Right now, public transit and Los Angeles not

177
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 2: in a good place. I think we can all agree.

178
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 2: Unhouse population, terrible place. It's going to be tough. But look,

179
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,319
Speaker 2: I really I pray we at the end of the day,

180
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 2: we love Los Angeles onto you guys five rings.

181
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: I mean, what's going to have to happen is they're

182
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: going to have to change almost every and I think

183
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: that they are. I think I think that that public

184
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: transit is about to like they're really going to make

185
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: a go for it here in the next couple of years.

186
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: In terms of how.

187
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 2: Tod it's four years is not a long time for this,

188
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 2: for this kind of infrastructure stuff.

189
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: I mean literally, it's they're going to have to change

190
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: a lot because I'm like, you can't even drive on

191
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: a Tuesday in the afternoon.

192
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 2: Love la love what it can be.

193
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: And yes, I have lots to say about this, as

194
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: you can tell as I'm sure you do as well.

195
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 1: So everyone, including Karen Bass can just wait. We have

196
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: lots of ideas and feelings. I sousing ceremonies were great.

197
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: I loved watching all the athletes vibe. It's a party

198
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 1: that's like like the shoulders are dropped.

199
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 2: It's done. The count is over. By the way, congratulations

200
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 2: to the United States of America for most golds or

201
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 2: I'm sorry for most metals and tied with golds with China.

202
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 2: I mean, this is the thing I'll miss most about

203
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 2: the Olympics, the only moment of acceptable nationalism that we

204
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 2: as Americans can experience.

205
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:08,439
Speaker 1: Well, let's hope not.

206
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 2: For now. This is I do feel refreshed. I miss

207
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 2: this feeling of loving country and I have not had

208
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 2: this feeling in a while, and I certainly felt that

209
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:37,239
Speaker 2: way the entire time during these Olympic Games.

210
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: Speaking of national privates, so let's talk about these medals.

211
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: So forty Olympic gold medals for the United States of

212
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: America forty four silver, forty two bronze, one hundred twenty

213
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 1: six total, followed by China with ninety one total medals

214
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: and forty gold medals. Then we have Great Britain with

215
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 1: sixty five total medals, and you know France at sixty four.

216
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 1: They hung in there. But really it was about the US.

217
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: It was about us. I mean, listen, hey, this because

218
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: they ain't US.

219
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 2: Main character syndrome has never been more apparent, has.

220
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: The main character syndrome in such a way.

221
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 2: And if this was our other podcast, this would be

222
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:15,839
Speaker 2: a rule of culture. But we can't. We just can't.

223
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 2: Let's see, uh, I was just I really quickly, just

224
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 2: want to go back to the closing ceremonies though a

225
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 2: lot of gags besides the La handoff Phoenix. Loved seeing

226
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 2: Phoenix sing their hits from nineteen ninety nine or from

227
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 2: two thousand, it's their first album. That hanging piano, that

228
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 2: vertical piano. Did you clock that?

229
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: I sure did.

230
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 2: Miss Mama playing the piano while being dragged up, and

231
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 2: the Golden Voyager running around and his little circu to

232
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 2: Soley Ass. I know, I know that's French Canada. But

233
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 2: in his circ to Soley Ass, get up with all

234
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 2: those hot little statuesque dancers. I think some of those

235
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 2: were some of the breakers from from I think I

236
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 2: think ray Gun in there somewhere.

237
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: Wait can talk about the breaking.

238
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 2: Let's talk about the breaking. We're just jumping all around.

239
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 2: Let's talk about breaking.

240
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: Come on, that was flopped to me.

241
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 2: Oh brother, and now he said it. I don't need breaking.

242
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 2: I get that be the only time we see it.

243
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 2: But I'm happy. I'm Look, this is the thing about

244
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 2: the Olympics. They try new things. Okay, everyone thinks it's

245
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 2: a stead institutional thing, which it is in a lot

246
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 2: of ways. But this was the first Olympics to have

247
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 2: full gender parody. It was a younger, more inclusive, more

248
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 2: sustainable Olympics. It is forward thinking in this way and

249
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 2: it has room for something like breaking even though mixed results,

250
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 2: but a viral, Internet worthy sticky you know, in the

251
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 2: Internet sense, sticky stories. Out of that, Reygun will forever

252
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 2: be a legend. And she has I think a beautiful

253
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 2: attitude about this.

254
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 1: I mean, she couldn't help that it was an event

255
00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: and that she qualified for it, you know what I mean.

256
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 1: It's like, here's the thing. If you never try, sure

257
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 1: you'll never fail, but you'll never succeed. And she is

258
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: an Olympian. That is something that she had and I

259
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: just want to say, let's just get into it. So

260
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: for those of you who may be on living under

261
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,719
Speaker 1: a rock in terms of the breaking of it all,

262
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: we're talking about Australian breakdancer Rachel Gunn aka ray Gun Iconic,

263
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: has caused quite a stir on social media after her

264
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: performance at the twenty twenty four Paris Olympics, Breaking, more

265
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: commonly noticed breakdancing made its debut as we all know,

266
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: and Gun went viral online after her performance on Friday

267
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: in the round robin stage of the women's breaking competition,

268
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: she was swept out without earning a single point. Gun

269
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: defended her dance moves she is she tried to wow

270
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: the audience with a kangaroo dance, among other moves, but

271
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 1: she has no qualms about the performance, being quoted as saying,

272
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: I was never gonna beat these girls on what they

273
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 1: do best, their power moves. What I bring is creativity.

274
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 2: We all have a kangaroo dance in our hearts period.

275
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: It goes like this, Oh my god, that's wait. The

276
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: Apple dance sort.

277
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 2: Of is giving kangaroo I think she was inspired by

278
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 2: the Apple Dance.

279
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: Maybe she was. Had she come out there and done

280
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: the Apple Dance, maybe she would have gotten a point.

281
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 2: What if the Apple dance When Charlie XCX says, I

282
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 2: think the Apple's rotten right to the core. What if

283
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 2: the Apple is an Internet culture?

284
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: I think she was talking about the judges, the gymnastics judges.

285
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 2: Oh my god, what a perfect segue.

286
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: That sucks and can I say, like Jordan Chiles, they

287
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: could never make you not my bronze medalist.

288
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 2: These Romanian girls, bless them, would not have bowed to Rebecca.

289
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 2: And that is still the thing that I think is

290
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 2: the most important thing to come out of these games,

291
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 2: the medals, lebron Steph Curry, we love Shack. Here, we'll

292
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 2: talk about all these things. That is the moment for

293
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 2: me of this entire olymp Jordan Chiles was a huge

294
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 2: part of that. This is we're talking about a four

295
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 2: second window. Let's let's just summarize what's happening for people

296
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 2: who don't know. Yes, so the US is appealing a

297
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 2: ruling that has forced Jordan Childs to return her bronze medal. Basically,

298
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 2: a US coach to Seal Landy sent in an appeal.

299
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 2: What people are saying, four seconds after the one minute

300
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 2: time limit for scoring inquiry, She's sent in an inquiry

301
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 2: a minute and four seconds after Jordan left the floor.

302
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 2: Cis Court of Arbitration for Sport, which handles these inquiries

303
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 2: and these appeals, has now got ahead and said that

304
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 2: Jordan has to return her medal. I think I think

305
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 2: they have the last word on it. Jordan is taking

306
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 2: a big break from social media. It's so devastating and

307
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 2: this process is maybe months years long. We really hope

308
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 2: this does not demoralize Jordan to say a level that

309
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 2: would discourage her from competing again. She has such a

310
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 2: bright feud, she has such a well that just to

311
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 2: her you know, but you know what, and not to

312
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 2: like produce have produced her brain too much on this.

313
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 2: But this is a this is an amazing story going

314
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 2: into LA twenty twenty eight. Not an amazing story. We

315
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 2: wish it didn't happen, but this is something that is

316
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 2: another opportunity for triumph. Even though it is devastating right now,

317
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 2: we are all feeling for Jordan. There are frankly some

318
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 2: racist attacks going on on the internet against her from

319
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 2: let's just say, like the corners of the internet internationally speaking.

320
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's really unfortunate. The International Gymnastics Federation FIG

321
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 2: said on Saturday that would respect the court's decision and

322
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 2: elevate Anna Barboso of Romania to third IOC confirmed the

323
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 2: ruling on Sunday before the closing ceremony. It is reallocating

324
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 2: the medal, so.

325
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: It feels like this is one of those moments where

326
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: you give them both the bronze medal and like this

327
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: just feels ugly and just to I don't know.

328
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 2: Everyone's Steve Harvey in this situation. And then and these

329
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 2: are you know, all of these girls are the miss Universes.

330
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 2: It's like, you can't do this.

331
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 1: And Jordan age Wise will definitely be back, right absolutely,

332
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 1: because I guess I mean, we'll get into the athletes

333
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 1: who are announcing retirements in a second. But you know,

334
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: it's there's precedent for her to come back and slay

335
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 1: it off again. You know, I would have I would

336
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: love for her to come around, like work her mass

337
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: off and come around and slay the all around Like

338
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 1: I think this You're right, there is like a ready

339
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 1: made narrative here for an amazing Olympic story. But wow,

340
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 1: the pressure of that and the disappointment of this moment

341
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,719
Speaker 1: is probably a lot. I hope she does take care

342
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 1: of herself, clearly she is, Yeah, but.

343
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 2: This is that thing.

344
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: Remember we said in the very first episode of this,

345
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 1: like the pressure of this is so intense, and you know,

346
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: I recently watched Simone Biles on the Call Her Daddy

347
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: podcast with fellow Olympic podcaster Alex Cooper and She was

348
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: going on at length about how when she had her

349
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 1: sort of moment in Tokyo where she had to pull

350
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: herself out, one of the first things she was thinking

351
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 1: about in the midst of her sort of like downturn

352
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 1: was what is Twitter saying? Like that is something that

353
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 1: is really on the minds of these athletes now, Like

354
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: these people are not only on the world stage, but

355
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: they're on the world stage in the Year of Our

356
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 1: Lord twenty twenty four, and they're young, and they're online.

357
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,360
Speaker 1: I mean, you see these girls after they get off,

358
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: like when they stop finished their medals, they immediately flocked

359
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: each to each other and talk about what tiktoks they're

360
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: gonna do, you know, like they are not immune to

361
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: the intense pressure of course that comes with any competition,

362
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 1: especially on a global stage, but also the mind that

363
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 1: is being talked about and dissected and you know, disrespected

364
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 1: on social media regularly. So my thing with Jordan is

365
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,360
Speaker 1: she's got to go to great lengths to make sure

366
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: that she has mental clarity because everyone's obviously got something

367
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 1: to say about this, and they would anyway. So just

368
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 1: hoping the best for her because she deserves it. I mean,

369
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: how many times did we jump out of our chair

370
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 1: watching her compete like she's a true superstar.

371
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we love you, Jordan. If you're listening, we

372
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 2: know you are. Other wonderful things that have happened since

373
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 2: our last episode.

374
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,360
Speaker 1: Sha, Carrie, I can take this should. Carrie Richardson secured

375
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: her first Olympic Old Metal after a thundering anchor leg

376
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 1: in the women's four by one relay on Friday. Oh,

377
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 1: the anchor leg of a relay?

378
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:46,360
Speaker 2: Bow?

379
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: You ever watched one live?

380
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:48,360
Speaker 2: Never?

381
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 1: One day, I'll take you to a track meet. Oh.

382
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 1: By the way, I have to update everyone I know.

383
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: I said in the last episode of Two Guys Five

384
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: Rings that I was going to find a track in

385
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:58,640
Speaker 1: LA and I was going to see what my mile

386
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: time is now, because as we when it was in

387
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: high school, it was blistering four minutes and thirty six seconds. Wow.

388
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: It is incredibly hard to find a public four hundred

389
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: meter track here in LA. I've even asked noted runner

390
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,919
Speaker 1: Pat Reagan about it and he said, it's like almost impossible.

391
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: So this may have to be a storyline that gets

392
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: followed over into Lost Culture. Is thus, So, if you

00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 1: so to speak, on my mild time as of today.

400
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,400
Speaker 2: Are you Tom Cruise because that handoff was excellent.

401
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 1: I mean call me Shakerry because she carried us to

402
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: a gold medal in the four by one. So the

403
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: Americans which are Shakar Richardson, Gabby Thomas, who by the

404
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 1: way took the gold to the two hundred and amazing,

405
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 1: amazing Melissa Jefferson and twenty Sha Teri braved a wet

406
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: track and rainy conditions to win the team twelfth Olympic

407
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: medal in the event. They did it in a time

408
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: of forty one point seven eight seconds, a season best.

409
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: Thomas ran the third leg and got her second gold

410
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 1: medal in the Games. Like I said, her first go

411
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: to wast gold medal was in the two hundred meters,

412
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 1: which was amazing to watch. And when Thomas handed off

413
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 1: to Richardson, the US was in third place. Richardson had

414
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: to reel in Britain's Darryl Nita and Germany's Rebeccah Has

415
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: and when she did, she flashed a look to her

416
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 1: right and backward that said you ain't catching me. It

417
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: marked a sweet clothes to the Olympics for Richardson, who

418
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 1: came into the Olympics as a favorite but surprisingly felt

419
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: to Julian Alfred of Saint Lucia in the one hundred

420
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: meter race. So Shakrrie Richardson gets her well deserved gold

421
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 1: medal and an iconic moment of looking over her shoulder

422
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 1: at her competitor and saying, hmmm, so we love Shakari.

423
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: You did it. Wish fulfillment, fulfilled, go off.

424
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 2: We hope you are getting the manicure of your life

425
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 2: right now now. Women's basketball and men's basketball both winning

426
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 2: both golds, going to the US beating France for both

427
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 2: now really amazing stuff. I was kind of into the

428
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 2: basketball this time in the Olympics, and uh love basketball.

429
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 2: It's Steph Curry and Lebron James screaming an tweet into

430
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 2: each other's faces. I said, kiss but y, that's just

431
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 2: my fan fit.

432
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 1: Can you imagine that'll be amazing if they kissed? But wait,

433
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 1: just together?

434
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 2: I mean I think that is Lebron's second most amorable

435
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 2: moment in his life. The first will always be I

436
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 2: can't believe this is my life, just smiling through it all.

437
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 2: Can't believe this is my life, my life, just smiling

438
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 2: through it all. Can we just flash that just on

439
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,439
Speaker 2: the on the instareel right now?

440
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:51,959
Speaker 1: You know, I want to sound bored so bad I've

441
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: wanted to son forever. Anyway, That's also a narrative that

442
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 1: will carry over, so we mentioned it earlier. But several

443
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 1: Olympians will retire after Paris, including the legendary Simon and Biles,

444
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: who at twenty seven was the oldest woman to make

445
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: an Olympics gymnastics team since the nineteen fifties, will be retiring. However,

446
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 1: Biles did speak to Hodah, the legend Hoda, about her

447
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,199
Speaker 1: future in the sport and if she's considered in competing

448
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: at the next Summer Games in la in twenty twenty eight,

449
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: to which she said, you know, never say never. The

450
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 1: next Olympics is on home turf, so you just never know.

451
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: I'm just going to relax and see where life takes me.

452
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:29,640
Speaker 1: And she really should just relax, I mean, like she's dying.

453
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 2: So she's earned Dutch.

454
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: She's earned it. I would love to see her commentate.

455
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, are you kidding me? Yeah?

456
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 1: I love watching her top I said, I love that

457
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: interview they call her daddy interview. That was great, like

458
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 1: very telegenic. Oh incredibly so gosh, I'm really emotional.

459
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 2: But you know, there are some fun things to carry

460
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 2: us over into the Paralympics. There are some fun things

461
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 2: to carry over into Winter Olympics in Milan and also

462
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 2: the Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles, as you mentioned,

463
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 2: all right, Matt, let's quickly give out our medals and

464
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 2: close out this wonderful episode. As we cover the closing ceremonies,

465
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give bronze to I'm gonna give bronze to

466
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 2: Sha Carry. What a moment, and.

467
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 1: That's a great moment. They're looking over the shoulder, the

468
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: unbotheredness of it, the personality in there. We love it,

469
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 1: we love it.

470
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 2: There's there's there's so much going on. That is a

471
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 2: that is a sort of almost lab grown Olympic moment

472
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 2: that I just love. And it's Sha Carry, who is

473
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 2: such a perfect icon for this twenty twenty four Olympic

474
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 2: games of like, you know, perfectly reflecting of the time

475
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 2: that we're in.

476
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: What's your silver My silver metal goes to Anthony Ketis,

477
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: who was performing in a boot. Something happened to his

478
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 1: left foot, which doesn't surprise me at all. If Anthony

479
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: Ketis of the Red hot Chelli Pepper strikes me as

480
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 1: someone who often does something that hurts his left foot.

481
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: And I have to say that, by the way, his

482
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 1: autobiography Scar Tissue, one of the greats, one of the

483
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:07,919
Speaker 1: great Uh.

484
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 2: I love the Anthony Kiatis, you love Anthony Kilos.

485
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,880
Speaker 1: I love anyone who's that hot, that's stupid, that talented,

486
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 1: and that able to still get up there and do

487
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: his thing in a boot. And if you don't think

488
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 1: he took his mesh tank and put it over his

489
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: head so he couldn't see, and showed his belly and

490
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: torso and walked around that stage in a boot, putting

491
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: himself at high risk to hurt his right foot, you'd

492
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: be mistaken legend. And he wins my silver medal.

493
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 2: There's a there's a benevolent sort of masculinity there that's

494
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 2: like reminiscent of like Jackass. Like it's like like I

495
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 2: like I think there's that sort of world that I'm like,

496
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 2: really really hopeful about. I'm like, no, no, he's these

497
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 2: should be the men who lead us forward. And our

498
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 2: gold is gonna I think we're going to break this

499
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 2: tie between the US and China for most golds, and

500
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 2: we're gonna give the gold to the United States of America.

501
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: The gold medal is won by the US.

502
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 2: And when her sang the Star straangled banner, I said

503
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:19,719
Speaker 2: acceptable nationalism. I said, I am proud to be an American,

504
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 2: where at least I think I'm free.

505
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: Yep.

506
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 2: Well I changed the word no to think because sometimes

507
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,439
Speaker 2: the illusion of freedom is better than nothing.

508
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, her really shreds on that guitar.

509
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 2: Too good for her because gosh, still very early in

510
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 2: her career. Oscar Winner, Grammy Winner, got to perform with

511
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 2: the Olympics at Dell, introduced her at SNL and.

512
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: She was bell in the live action Beauty and the Beast.

513
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 1: So that's part of that you got. I'm sure.

514
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 2: I think if you arrange the letters of that, you

515
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 2: get you good.

516
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, Beauty and the Beast.

517
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 2: T any other thought.

518
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 1: I hope it's not. I hope it's not the last

519
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: time we see breaking. I want I want everyone still

520
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 1: just you took it back. No, I'm taking it back.

521
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: I want everyone to see what happened in the breaking competition,

522
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: and I think that people should feel inspired. And I

523
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: do still think we should add singing, which brings me

524
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 1: to Selene, and I think Selene should be an Olympic

525
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: Gold Medalist for singing. And That's where I'll keep it.

526
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 2: Absolutely Now, I just want to say the thing we're

527
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 2: not putting out about Reagan is that this entire situation

528
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 2: is like a two thousand and seven comedy movie starring

529
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 2: Chris Lily. Yeah, like someone who qualifies to be the

530
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 2: Australian breaking representative and it's someone doing Chris Lily moves. Yeah,

531
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 2: it's a mister g in Summer Heights High. This would

532
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 2: have been like a Vince Vaughn film in two thousand

533
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 2: and four, you know, like it's amazing, Like let's just

534
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,120
Speaker 2: let's just appreciate this moment, like it's really it's kind

535
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,479
Speaker 2: of fun and like God, thank goodness that she has

536
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 2: the right attitude about it. I'm sure she's like I'm

537
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,719
Speaker 2: sure there's a level of embarrassment, but like internationally, I mean,

538
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 2: this is the other thing about the Olympics this year.

539
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 2: This is our first genuine monoculture in a long time,

540
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 2: and I think this is a very good moment for monoculture.

541
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 2: And this makes a case that sports is culture and

542
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 2: we should probably talk about sports more on LA's culture.

543
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: Maybe I think the Olympics had I think the Olympics

544
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 1: had a brat summer. Let's just let's just say that.

545
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: Let's just say that it's so funny that you mentioned

546
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: Vince Vaughn because I was just walking back from Barry's

547
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 1: and Vince Vaughn is getting a Hollywood star in the

548
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:30,679
Speaker 1: walk off ame today and it was they were set up,

549
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 1: and so it's like that was such an LA thing,

550
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: and that is so LA twenty twenty Olympics coded, like

551
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: the hollywoodness of it.

552
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 2: All, like Barry's boot campus. So I hope Barry's has

553
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 2: a huge moment at the opening ceremony.

554
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,240
