WEBVTT - Tea from Paris: Day Three 0:00:02.600 --> 0:00:06.320 Monday, July twenty ninety. The United States starts this day 0:00:06.519 --> 0:00:10.119 on top the official Olympic medal count. The US has 0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:13.440 won twelve medals so far at the Paris Games. Home 0:00:13.440 --> 0:00:16.280 country France is in second place with eight medals, followed 0:00:16.280 --> 0:00:17.560 by Japan with seven. 0:00:18.280 --> 0:00:22.479 Welcome to another edition of tea from Perry. It's a 0:00:22.560 --> 0:00:25.400 special edition of Amy and TJ. And in this episode, 0:00:25.960 --> 0:00:30.360 Simone shines and she limps. The US men's basketball team 0:00:30.400 --> 0:00:34.280 makes a statement, and US women's soccer makes an even 0:00:34.320 --> 0:00:34.880 bigger one. 0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:39.880 Plus Christians get an apology from Olympics organizers, Ozzie women 0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:42.760 get a side of sexism with their gold medals, and 0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:49.159 another heartbreaking meltdown in gymnastics robes watching this. We're going 0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:52.160 to get into this here at the bottom of this episode, 0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:55.920 but it's just another sign with this Olympics. What this shows, 0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:59.800 what this means on day one and two, just absolute 0:00:59.880 --> 0:01:02.040 heart break in gymnastics. We talk so much about Brody 0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:05.039 Malone for the US men, but we saw some just 0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:08.480 watching it on the women's side, an absolute meltdown and 0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:11.319 just the Olympics can be just crushing. 0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:14.400 Yes, and it's just one mistake and that one mistake 0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:18.480 can be the difference between a metal and complete failure 0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:21.039 for so many of these athletes who put everything on 0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:25.440 the line, and the margins are so narrow, the level 0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:29.160 of expertise is so high that one small, tiny mistake 0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:31.840 can be the end of a dream, and then it 0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:35.360 can lead to some mental problems that create bigger issues 0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:37.360 for the team. Right, it's like one mistake and then 0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:39.120 it leads to so many more. Unfortunately. 0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:42.280 But back to back days, we saw spirals, like, really, 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:44.960 a mistake was made in a matter of you know what, inches, 0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:47.480 it's not the end of your Olympics. You might lose 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:49.360 a point or two, not even a full point, but 0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:52.320 of fractions of a point. But that mistake gets in 0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:54.760 people's heads and we see world class, the best in 0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:57.800 the world just spiral. And I think that's been heartbreaking 0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:00.320 to see people that we know are best better than 0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:00.800 they're showing. 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:03.360 Yeah, and for them especially, and you can see it 0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:05.600 on their face, and it's hard to watch. It's hard 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:07.680 to watch. And then on the flip side, you see 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:10.600 those people who nail it, who just get it right, 0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:13.040 who are in the right mental headspace and they win, 0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:15.640 and so it's just yeah, you see the extreme highs 0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:17.880 and the extreme lows. But you can't stop watching, so. 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:19.840 We'll get into that. And also I talked about the 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:21.840 medal count at the top, and I always found it 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:26.040 over the years. I found it somewhat I don't know, silly, 0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:28.960 but it's hard to keep up or quantify. Can a 0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:32.280 country actually win the Olympics? If we come out and 0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:35.320 the US has more medals than anybody, which usually is 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:38.240 the case. Frankly, we got more athletes than anybody, did 0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:39.840 the US then win the Olympics? 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:43.560 I mean no, but you can still take some pride 0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:45.680 in that. It's funny. I was actually reading up. I 0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:48.720 didn't realize this. I guess it makes sense. You talk 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:53.560 about home court advantage. Whoever is hosting the Olympics sees 0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:56.800 a metal bump based on, you know, wherever the Olympics are. 0:02:56.880 --> 0:02:59.440 So France is actually saying that they want to triple 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:02.919 their number of golds from Tokyo. That's a pretty big, 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:06.080 big goal. But that does happen. So the host country 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:09.040 maybe by default wins in a sense that they do 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:11.920 better than they ever have before. That's my answer to 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:12.440 your question. 0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:15.560 That's the other thing. Some people take it as whoever 0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:18.919 wins the most gold medals should be the winning team. 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:21.240 So it's right now the US is ahead in overall medals, 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:22.919 but I think in second or third when it comes to. 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:26.200 Killing it in silver medals, killing it. 0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:27.680 Can we say we want That's just a weird thing. 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:30.120 And I'm still adjusting too. We did this with World 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:32.119 Cup and EuroCup. We watch them with soccer, of course, 0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:35.640 international soccer, but do in the Olympics. Do we now 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:39.160 supposed to say the US are right? It's difficult. If 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:43.040 you ever watch international sports and soccer in particular, they 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:48.440 refer to the teams in the plural plural right, So 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:52.400 here we would say the Los Angeles Lakers are boarding 0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:55.440 their flight. But if you just say the team Los 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:57.120 Angeles is boarding their. 0:03:57.040 --> 0:03:59.200 Flight, right, the US is boarding? 0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:02.440 Okay, yes, but in international it's our. So the Los 0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:07.360 Angeles are boarding their flight, the USA are headed to 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:07.880 the arena. 0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:11.000 You pointed this out, so hard to do for US. 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:13.000 I don't know that I noticed it until you pointed 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:14.760 it out. And then once you pointed it out, it 0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:18.280 was glaring. I couldn't stop hearing, like Sweden are pushing 0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:21.080 the field, like what it is not our? But yes, 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:23.240 I and you've noticed that in the Olympics as well. 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:25.320 Some well, I guess we've been watching some soccer. 0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:28.640 Do you have to retrain your brain as a broadcaster. 0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:30.559 But should we be doing that for the Olympics nowhere 0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:31.640 from the US, We don't. 0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:33.640 I'm not going to attend that. It's not I have 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:36.040 too many other problems, just you know, getting my words 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:38.200 straight in my head. I'm not going to then try 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:40.719 to change up a verb tense. No, thank you. 0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:43.600 And we're watching live once again. We're recording as we're 0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:47.600 watching the events live. Of course NBC has a setup 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:50.320 where you're seeing some stuff in prime time, but that 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:53.360 stuff happened many, many hours earlier. But they do have 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:55.480 peacock and you can watch everything live. So we've been 0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:57.760 up watching. Yes once again, we've been. 0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:02.679 Thought TV all morning and it's fun. 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:05.640 It's one. I was saying, some archery this morning. I've 0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:10.560 got some volleyball going, synchronized, diving, synchronized. We saw metal 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:13.120 awarmans synchronized dive. We're not gonna give you results here 0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:16.039 before they air in primetime, but we did watch that 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:18.159 as well. And now we've got skateboarding on which we 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:20.960 have now jumped on board and are really enjoying because 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:21.599 we saw the women. 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:26.000 It's fun. It's fun because what they attempt is so insane, 0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:28.360 and then you know they all know how to fall well, 0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:30.640 so no one's getting injured, but it is it's fun 0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:33.040 to see the highs and the lows. Is it not 0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:34.039 this will. 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:37.680 It's to see what they attempt. I think crazy gymnastics 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:40.880 is the one. Of course, the big women's final is 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:45.000 later on Monday, but gymnastics is the one I'm so 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:47.800 fascinated by because everything I see the athletes do, I 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:51.239 can't do one thing that they do. I can watch golf, 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:53.720 I can watch basketball. I can watch Okay, I can 0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:56.320 make a free throw. Steph Curry might make a higher 0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:58.560 percentage than I do, but I know how to do that. 0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:01.360 I can make a putt, yes, that professional might be 0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:05.000 better at right. I can see things that athletes to 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:06.599 do and I can do it, and they're just the 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:10.640 best at it. There is nothing a male gymnast did 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:12.480 when we watched the other day that I can do 0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:16.880 a single move, like on the rings. Not one thing 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:19.040 they do can I at all do. 0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:23.080 It's crazy because I spent six years as a competitive gymnast, 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:25.919 nowhere near the level of any of these ladies. But 0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:28.920 I was a gym rat forty hours a week. You'd 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:31.000 see the men and the women, and still I could 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:34.480 do basic, rudimentary things, And I know how hard that was. Like, 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:36.640 just to be able to do a back walk over 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:39.159 on the beam took me years. You know, just to 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:44.000 be able to do basic moves took so much hard work. 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:45.800 So when I see the level of thel I mean, 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:49.600 when you see someone like Simone Biles, it is like, 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:52.520 I can't even get my head around how she can 0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:54.880 train her brain to train her body to do what 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:57.760 it does in the seconds with the force and power 0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:01.760 and precision she does it with. It is remarkable. And 0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:04.800 you've been laughing because we'll hear the commentators who know 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:07.600 a lot more than either one of us about these skills. 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:10.559 We'll see someone nail a routine and they'll say, yeah, 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:12.840 but you know, that's just kind of basic. So they're 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:14.480 not going to get a big score because yes, they 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:17.920 did it well, but they didn't attempt hard enough feats. 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:20.760 And when you see someone like someone in Team USA, 0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:25.600 the level at which they're competing is like none other. 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:28.880 So the things they attempt are literally deathifying. 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:31.200 Yeah, they've they've made that point a few times, some 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:34.640 of the commentators that you actually are putting life in 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:38.040 limb but they make it look so easy and they 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:40.840 bounce back and it just doesn't look as dangerous as 0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:42.640 it is to a spectator and we're just in awe. 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:45.000 So hats off to them. But yes, we'll start there 0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:47.520 with some own biles. They made their much anticipated well 0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:52.200 the team did, but she in particular Robes made a 0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:56.040 much anticipated return to the Olympics after what we saw 0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:58.520 in Tokyo. So we were all a little nervous, a 0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:00.600 little anxious to see how she would do. And she 0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:02.520 did what we're used to seeing Simon. 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:05.760 Do you know what's crazy though, having watched her in Tokyo, 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:08.200 and you could see her face, you could see her 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:11.840 body language, you could see you were you were stressed 0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:14.920 for her, watching her this time around, even though she 0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:17.880 had a calf strain or a slight cap injury. I 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:20.920 saw her face, you could see her mood, her energy. 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:24.040 It was different. She was focused, she was ready mentally, 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:26.320 and that was what was so cool. And then she 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:29.200 killed it. I mean she killed it. The highest score 0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:31.600 on vault, the highest score on beam, the highest score 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:34.880 on floor. She qualified for all three of those obviously, 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:37.840 plus the all around, and she was I believe just 0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:41.920 underqualifying for bars as well. And it's just remarkable to 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:42.640 see what she does. 0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:45.199 So she will be moving on and she will once 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:46.920 again get a chance to go for the title of 0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:51.760 all Around Olympic champion. Sunny Lee is the other American 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:54.880 who will be able to compete for that. Jordan Tiles 0:08:56.280 --> 0:08:59.440 came in in the overall, believe fourth overall, so now 0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:02.600 that means she should have been good enough. That means 0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:05.480 folks at the Olympics right now, the Americans have the 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:08.600 top three scores or excuse three out of the top 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:13.320 four scores in all of the women who are at 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:16.079 the Olympics, but because of the rules, they can only 0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:17.760 take two in two. 0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:20.160 That's tougher. That's going to be so tough if you're 0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:22.240 Jordan Tiles, rules or rules, and we get that, but 0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:24.079 when you know you're that good. And if she had 0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:26.880 played for or played if she had performed for any 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:30.640 other country, she would be one hundred percent competing for 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:33.560 the all around metals. And you did see other young 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:36.720 women from the United States who had ties to other 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:40.200 countries and were able to compete under the Philippines. We 0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:44.440 saw some compete for Colombia. One compete for Columbia. So 0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:46.439 they found other ways because they wouldn't have had a 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:49.480 chance because the US women are so good and if 0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:51.840 you want to be able to compete or have a 0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:54.120 shot at it, and sometimes you have to find a 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:56.600 tie to another country, too bad. Jordan Tiles can't because 0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:57.320 she's that good. 0:09:57.960 --> 0:09:59.360 The thing I didn't know she finished that high. I 0:09:59.360 --> 0:09:59.960 just saw that a show. 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:02.040 Oh, it's going to be frustrating. 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:05.000 That's so frustrating. But the women finished number one as 0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:08.120 well in team, so they will and you have to 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:10.640 help me here, Ropes. I'm not sure when the when 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:12.960 the women's final team final. 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:16.280 I believe that all around is Tuesday, so we just 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:16.960 have it tomorrow. 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:20.200 It's okay. I'm so excited the men are today. That's 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:23.560 a fantastic to see. So it will all all have 0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:36.600 an eye on that. Also much anticipated. The US men's 0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:39.720 basketball team I'll play against first game of these Olympics, 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:42.800 playing Serbia. Ropes, we were talking about this yesterday. You said, ah, 0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:45.680 Serbia shouldn't be a problem for the US men. What 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:47.560 what's the big deal, TJ, Why you put it on 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:50.120 the big TV. It's the US men. I really did 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:53.040 say that, no, no, but and my response was, hey, hey, hey, 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:58.280 they got Nikolai Jokic on the team. NBA MVP, three 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:01.080 times NBA champion is well, he plays for Serbia, so 0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:03.720 don't sleep on Serbia. We got to watch this game, 0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:06.440 and sure enough it turn out to be blocked. Yeah, 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:09.640 KD and Lebron did their thing. They're the most experienced 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:13.319 Olympics on this team, had twenty three and twenty one points. 0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:16.000 Of course, this is stacked with NBA players. The team 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:20.559 is so good that you know who didn't even get 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:22.480 off the bench. Didn't even get into the game a 0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:27.680 single time in this game. Jason Tatum, the All NBA 0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:30.520 First Team player, the All Star, the guy who you 0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:35.440 just watched in the NBA Finals have a breakout playoffs 0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:38.679 really and win the title for the Boston Celtics. He 0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:39.680 didn't even get off the bench. 0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:42.199 You know what. And it's pretty cool. I was reading 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:44.160 up a little bit more because I'm not as well 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:48.200 versed on these players as you are. But he just agreed, 0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:51.240 as many of you know, to the richest contract in 0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:55.800 NBA history. And he was on the bench. So the 0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:58.960 US coach there, Steve Kerr, he I loved what he 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:01.360 said about Tatum. He said he had a conversation with 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:05.000 him about what the plan was for him to not play, essentially, 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:07.600 and he was very professional. He said about being on 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:10.480 the bench. He handled it well and will be ready 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:12.920 for the next one. That's really cool to hear because that, 0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:14.640 you know, if you got a lot of big egos, 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:17.920 and rightfully so deservedly so, so to sit on the 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:20.200 bench in the first game of the Olympics, that has 0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:22.560 to be a little tough, and he handled it well 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:23.360 and that's great to hear. 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:26.360 They talk about this with Olympians often times, certainly the 0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:28.600 big stars you go. It's about country. It's not even 0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:31.680 about team that particular team. You're representing your country on 0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:34.640 a larger scale. So this isn't about my ego. Jason 0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:36.400 Tatum's fine. He know he can play. You know, he 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:39.600 can outplay many of the guys till it's tough. But 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:42.080 we will see him in plenty. But Steve Kerr to 0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:45.319 have that embarrassment of riches that you can't Jason Tatum 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:47.240 in the game. Now the guys are going to play 0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:49.679 again on Wednesday against South Sudan, who, of course they 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:53.240 barely beat in an exhibition just a week or so 0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:55.240 ago before there as a tune up to the Olympics. 0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:57.440 So South Sudan, if you hadn't heard about them, we'll 0:12:57.440 --> 0:13:00.439 be talking about them here plenty. They've made quite the impression. 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:03.000 All right. And god, we had so much fun watching 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:06.360 soccer again. I feel like we've watched more soccer in 0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:10.160 the last month than I can remember. But US women's 0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:13.199 soccer team, Yeah, they've played their second match, and if 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:16.160 you had any doubts about them, well they were buried. 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:19.520 I don't think anyone did. But playing against Germany and 0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:24.440 that is a formidable team, and they slayed four to one. 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:27.240 It was remarkable to why and it was an exciting game. 0:13:27.440 --> 0:13:28.800 You know, you say, oh, it's a blowout, but it 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:30.600 actually was a really fun game to. 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:33.240 Watch because they were fun to watch to see them 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:36.360 go off the way they did. And you know that 0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:39.240 they look they're ranked fifth right now, which everybody else 0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:42.240 in the world would just would love to be ranked fifth, 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:45.080 but the US hasn't dropped that low in twenty something 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:48.640 years to fifth. I have been one and two for 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:52.079 long long stretches, so people think they were falling off 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:54.199 with Emma Hayes's new coach they brought in, She's only 0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:56.800 been in there a few months. This was her signature 0:13:56.840 --> 0:14:00.040 win so far to beat a team fourth roe. I 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:03.680 think Germany. The way she beat them, they beat them 0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:06.200 and the way they looked is very exciting. 0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:09.120 I'm excited because I'm remembering just last week and we 0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:11.680 talked to Brianna Scurry, of course, who was the goalkeeper 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:14.800 for the famous ninety nine ers, but she said she 0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:17.240 went to go watch the team right before they left 0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:20.360 for Paris, just a few weeks ago, and she predicted 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:23.960 that they were going to do really, really well because 0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:29.160 there weren't these high expectations given their ranking versus previous teams. 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:31.480 But it's so good to see them. It seems like 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:33.880 they're gelling so well. Just their pass game, like just 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:36.200 they are operating the way you want to see a 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:38.360 gold medal team operating and having fun. 0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:40.400 They look like I mean, it helps when the balls 0:14:40.400 --> 0:14:42.000 go in the back of the net, but they were 0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:44.400 having an absolutely good time. They're going to play again 0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:46.840 the next match on Wednesday, but they've already secured a 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:49.840 spot into the next round because of the two wins 0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:53.720 they've already had. But obviously we'll be watching closely. Rose 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:57.360 any Olympics, it's always going to be a little some 0:14:57.440 --> 0:14:59.880 apologies somewhere. You got this many countries involved, as going 0:14:59.920 --> 0:15:02.520 to be some diplomatic mess yep, but you got this 0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:05.280 many eyeballs, and somebody's going to catch something, and some 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:09.280 folks feel like they caught something that has now the 0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:14.200 Olympic organizers, at least the opening ceremony organizers apologizing. They 0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:19.120 issued another apologize apology. You remember after announcing South Korea 0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:21.120 by the wrong name during the opening ceremony. 0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:24.240 Yes, North Korea versus South Korea, big difference. 0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:28.000 Yeah, I mean difference of all names to mix up. 0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:31.880 But this time they're apologizing for some imagery during part 0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:34.840 of the opening ceremony and robes. This is one of 0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:36.880 the most exciting parts of the opening ceremony, I thought. 0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:38.400 But a lot of folks you remember that part. They 0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:40.480 were on this bridge and there was kind of a 0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:43.360 fashion show, a drag show that was taking place. Music 0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:43.760 was going on. 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:46.160 It was definitely a drag fashion shows. 0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:48.480 Show, as somebody was dressed as a Greek god and 0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:50.880 singing and dancing. All right, if you remember that scene, 0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:52.359 that's the one that has people upset. 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:56.440 That's right. So some some folks, religious folks are upset 0:15:56.520 --> 0:16:00.280 that they believe that that scene depicted one of the 0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:03.640 most important images in Christianity, the Last Suffer Jesus with 0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:10.080 his disciples, so a very somber, important iconic scene for Christians, 0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:13.200 and they felt like that was made a mockery of, 0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:16.560 basically by having this drag show that ended in what 0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:18.560 looked like the Last Supper. 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:23.040 And so the spokesperson for the Parislympics came out and said, 0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:25.920 and I'm going to quote here clearly, there was never 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:29.440 an intention to show disrespect to any religious group. We 0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:34.960 believe this ambition was achieved. If people have taken any offense, 0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:39.680 we are really sorry. Those are fun apologies. Over the years, 0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:42.080 it's a different I apologize for what I did, and 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:44.240 I'm sorry you feel the way you feel about what 0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:44.720 I did. 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:49.640 But yes, exactly, but yes, wink, wink, nod, nod. Look, 0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:51.880 I mean I watched it. We were both raised in 0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:57.040 the Christian faith. I it didn't I mean, I didn't 0:16:57.080 --> 0:16:59.560 even cross my mind. It looked like art, It looked 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:03.560 beautiful and avant garde and very French, and I just 0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:04.280 took that for. 0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:04.919 What it was. 0:17:05.640 --> 0:17:08.560 But interestingly, the Catholic Church of France actually declared that 0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:12.520 it was a pretty pretty I don't know. I mean, 0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:14.960 I looked at their statement and they aren't making any 0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:19.360 they aren't. They're letting us know exactly how they feel. 0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:20.679 Like this is the best way to put it. I'm 0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:24.199 choosing my words carefully here, but i'll quote then the 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:27.400 Catholic Church of France said, quote, they believe that the 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:32.600 opening ceremonies deplored a ceremony that included scenes of derision 0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:38.200 and mockery of Christianity. So yes, they are making their feelings. 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:41.159 No, we want to respect anybody who looked at it 0:17:41.200 --> 0:17:43.520 and was offended in whatever way you were offended. They 0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:49.720 have no qualms with anybody who took issue. But also 0:17:50.200 --> 0:17:52.760 take them at their word that wasn't the intent intent 0:17:52.920 --> 0:17:55.679 to even depict it, But it certainly wouldn't have been 0:17:55.680 --> 0:18:00.560 the attempt to actually do harm, right, trying to hurt 0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:03.280 anybody's feelings or trying to make a mockery or make fun, 0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:05.080 even if it unintentionally happened. 0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:07.199 Yeah, ain't that the case all the time, though, I 0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:11.359 feel like it speaking of doing harm. There's another controversy 0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:16.520 brewing at the Olympics. In fact, a veteran broadcaster was 0:18:16.600 --> 0:18:21.399 removed from his position fairly quickly after something he said 0:18:21.840 --> 0:18:25.359 on Saturday night at the pool again, a veteran broad 0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:31.480 caster of heuro sports, and the Australian women had just 0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:34.560 won their gold medal the four by one hundred relay 0:18:34.640 --> 0:18:39.040 and they were celebrating, taking pictures, waving to fans, and 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:44.120 this broadcaster kind of made a flippant comment. 0:18:44.280 --> 0:18:48.560 Oh, flippant. It was so many of these events, I 0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:51.159 think swimming they planned to be later in the evening, 0:18:51.200 --> 0:18:54.960 certainly the finals, because they're just high profile events. People 0:18:55.200 --> 0:18:56.639 like to get there and watch them, and then of 0:18:56.680 --> 0:18:58.800 course we'd like to see them on TV. They are 0:18:58.800 --> 0:19:01.919 always a part of prime time. His point he was 0:19:01.960 --> 0:19:04.800 making was that they were just finishing up in the evening, 0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:08.080 and that's a quote, the quote was finishing up. But 0:19:08.200 --> 0:19:12.600 he followed that up by saying, and I quote here, actually, Robot, 0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:14.000 I don't want anybody to be able to. 0:19:14.040 --> 0:19:17.240 Chop this up and do so you give the comments, okay, 0:19:17.280 --> 0:19:20.000 he said, well, the women just finishing up. You know what, 0:19:20.080 --> 0:19:24.280 women are like hanging around doing their makeup. So there 0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:27.280 was a British swimmer, Lizzie Simmons, who was next to him, 0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:29.840 alongside him commenting on the race as well. 0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:31.879 His broadcast partner. He says, this is in front of 0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:33.240 a very accomplished woman. 0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:35.800 And she said it was outrageous. She said it right 0:19:35.840 --> 0:19:38.879 back to him, and it prompted some laughter from Ballard. 0:19:38.920 --> 0:19:42.040 I think in his mind I was just kidding. We 0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:44.080 can all take a joke here. But that was not 0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:47.320 a shared sentiment by folks because that clip was taken. 0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:51.359 As we've seen this happen with many different controversies. That 0:19:51.400 --> 0:19:54.640 clip was shared throughout social media. There became an uproar 0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:57.840
