1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 1: Okay, girl, hey girl, let's go down the shoet, which

2
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 1: let should be established a little greeting.

3
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 2: I think we have to find it. What do we do? Like,

4
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 2: do we just say two guys five rings? Yeah?

5
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 1: Or we say or we say ring the word ring

6
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: five times?

7
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:21,920
Speaker 2: Oh that's good, that's good. I love that.

8
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, okay, here we go, ring ring, ring, ring ring?

9
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 2: Wow? And would you believe we just created that gold?

10
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 2: Like Bowen, I have to give I have to really

11
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 2: give you the credit because we sort of canonically and

12
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 2: iconically come onto our podcast Last Culturistas with Ding Dong

13
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 2: and then who you are saying? Ring ring, ring, ring ring?

14
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 2: This is a natural.

15
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: Progress sort of analog. Well, after all, this is our

16
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: new podcast, two Guys, five Rings, where we talk all

17
00:00:58,680 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: things Olympic.

18
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 2: Yes, for those of you who sort of arrived here

19
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 2: because you want to hear about sports and didn't even

20
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 2: know who we are, I'm Matt Rogers, I co host

21
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 2: the Lost Cultura's podcast.

22
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: And I'm Bowen Yang. I also co host The Lost

23
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: Cultursa's podcast. Now, would you say that we typically cover

24
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: anything athletic on our let's say, day job show.

25
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 2: I actually don't remember the last time we spoke about

26
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 2: sports or athletics at all, which is and a lot

27
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 2: of people might be surprised to hear us hosting this podcast,

28
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 2: and what we would say to those people is we're

29
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 2: surprised too. But really, I guess this makes us like

30
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 2: sort of a podcast for the Olympics for the every day.

31
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: Absolutely, I think we are the surrogates for people who

32
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: have seen challengers and think that is enough sports for me.

33
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: But that's not true. There is no ceiling on sports.

34
00:01:58,360 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: Wouldn't you say.

35
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 2: There is no ceiling on sports, especially this Olympics because

36
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 2: it's the summer Olympics. Buton and this is really going

37
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 2: to happen outside, and it's gonna happen in Paris, and

38
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 2: Paris I heard has beautiful outside. Now I know you've

39
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 2: been to Paris, so don't pretend that you've not been

40
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 2: to Paris. Now, I know you've seen the outside of Paris.

41
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: Oh, I was not putting up any pretense that I

42
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: have not been to Paris. I was just starting up

43
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: a conversation for you and the listener to discuss Paris,

44
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: the beauty of Paris.

45
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 2: Have you been to Paris in the summer?

46
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: I happened to Paris in the summer. I've been very

47
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: lucky to be in Paris in the summer hot but

48
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 1: and the people are hotter, oh honey.

49
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 2: And it's about to get even hotter because these athletes

50
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 2: are coming now. I would say if we ever talked

51
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 2: about the Olympics on our podcast, it probably would have

52
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 2: to do with, you know, just how hot some of

53
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 2: the athletes really are. Actually, just the other day, we

54
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 2: had a conversation about winter olympian Apollo anton Ono being

55
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 2: sexually formative for you specific But but you're saying that

56
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 2: he wasn't for you.

57
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 1: We know, I Paula's friend. No, I'm just kidding. I yes,

58
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: absolutely Listen.

59
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 2: I feel like an awakening.

60
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 1: For me is more. I'm going to speak more collectively,

61
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: like any men's gymnastics event. I oh yeah, I kind

62
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: of real I re realize what I'm put on this

63
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: earth to do, which is to watch people with bodies

64
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: do amazing things with those bodies.

65
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's gonna be a lot of that this summer.

66
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 2: There's gonna be a lot of that this summer, I guess.

67
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 2: Today on today's episode, we're here to talk about the

68
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 2: top storylines. Two guys, five rings. There's some storylines happening

69
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 2: that are there's really narratives and really there's Every Olympics

70
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 2: is a dramatic story, you know what I mean? Like that,

71
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 2: that's what's so great about it.

72
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: The Olympics are soap operas writ large, wouldn't you say

73
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: on the world stage?

74
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 2: You know? On our other podcast, what we do right

75
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 2: now is say that's a rural of culture, but not

76
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 2: what we can't but.

77
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: We can't right here now, just to give everybody a

78
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: general lay of the land for what we'll do in

79
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: this podcast. Every episode we will discuss a different angle

80
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: of the Olympics. Today, as Matt has said, we were

81
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 1: discussing the top storylines going into Paris twenty twenty four,

82
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: and then in future episodes we will talk about specific athletes,

83
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: specific events. Gosh, what else, I mean, what else is

84
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: there to the Olympics besides those things? The village?

85
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I think we we definitely. That's actually one

86
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 2: of the things I'm most interested in is to be

87
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 2: totally honest with you and with you in transparent Like

88
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 2: for me, I want to hear about the horniness of

89
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 2: the Olympic village, like if if at any point we

90
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 2: can have someone from the ground like sort of report in,

91
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 2: like I would love to hear even if and this

92
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 2: is just any athlete that hears this and wants to

93
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 2: come in and we can do that that creepy voice thing. Yes,

94
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 2: if no, I think he wants to go on the

95
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 2: record and someone's just come spill all the tea about

96
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,239
Speaker 2: how Hornett gets in the Olympic village, I'd be interested

97
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 2: in that.

98
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: I would be very interested in that. If you are

99
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 1: listening and you work for the IOC, and you were

100
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: the person who designed the single bunk bed cot situation

101
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: that is supposed to discourage athletes from engaging in sexual encounters,

102
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: please come on this podcast. We will distort your voice

103
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: to protect your identity.

104
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 2: Also, first of all, you can't. You can't sort of

105
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 2: stop athletes. I'm sorry, you can't. I'm sure that they

106
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 2: run their heats, they swim their heats, they perform their heats.

107
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 2: In the case of I guess the synchronized swimming, which

108
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 2: I guess is now has a different name. It's now

109
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:48,919
Speaker 2: and it's now.

110
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, we were just briefed on this by our

111
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: lovely producers. Give it up for our producers, by the way,

112
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 1: they're going to be doing a lot of work well

113
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 1: right now in the Zoom. We have Vents, we have Jason,

114
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: we have Sean. We have a whole star lineup of

115
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 1: producers with us, and we're grateful to them. Mostly what's

116
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: going to happen on this show is we're going to

117
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: be fed some wonderful information by these people who actually

118
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 1: do care about sports. They that we don't care, but

119
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: these are people who live in breed sports and know

120
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 1: how to communicate those facts to us. And we are

121
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 1: the lens through which those things get refracted onto you,

122
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: the audience. And we were great.

123
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 2: We are but a vessel.

124
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 1: We are but a vessel.

125
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 2: And here's something I know about sports. You, me and

126
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 2: our three producers. We could be a basketball team, a squad.

127
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 2: There are five of us, a squad. We could be

128
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 2: a basketball squad. I know this from chiefly from watching

129
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 2: Space Jam.

130
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: I was just going to be a Space Jam.

131
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 2: I did play basketball as a kid. This is this

132
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 2: is actually a topic I wanted to bring up with

133
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 2: you before we get into the actual information. When is

134
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 2: the moment you have peaked athletically, What is the fastest

135
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 2: you've ever run? What can you look back on in

136
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 2: your life and say that was a moment where I

137
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 2: was physical the house down.

138
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: That's really tough. Can the answer be there is no moment.

139
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 2: Well, lately you've been working it in the gym, but

140
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 2: that's not the same as sports. Okay, you know what

141
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 2: I mean?

142
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: Well, can I say there was a two week period

143
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: where I was a member of the YMCA on Atlantic

144
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: Avenue in Brooklyn, New York, and I was getting into

145
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: that pool with all of the toddlers and our lovely

146
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: elders in the community, and I thought, you know what,

147
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: I'm healthy.

148
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 2: I'm going to do this.

149
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: And then two weeks in, I thought, I'm not going

150
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: to be in this skin soup as it were, like.

151
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 2: It's very much skin soup at a public pool. And

152
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 2: I will say this, this is an athletic thing. I

153
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 2: got athletes foot at my gym, and I don't want

154
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 2: to gross anyone out, but these are the kinds of

155
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 2: things that athletes go through. This is injury. I've been

156
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 2: doing an injury which is by my own hand. I

157
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 2: got athletes foot from what showering with no shower shoes.

158
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: You gotta get the shower shoes.

159
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 2: I thought I could trust my community.

160
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: No no, no, and make sure when the shower shoes

161
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: go home. First of all, you take a bag from

162
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: the swim trunk dryer above the swim trunk dryer in

163
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: the locker room, put your shower shoes and.

164
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 2: That go home.

165
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: The first thing you better be doing is wiping those

166
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: down with lyesol.

167
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 2: Guys say, I hope that all the athletes are listening

168
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 2: right now. This is good stuff. They need to be

169
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 2: writing this down lifesol. Seriously, go the extra mile, as

170
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 2: it were. And I'm not just talking about my long

171
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 2: distance runners. I'm talking about everyone. Go the extra mile

172
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 2: in terms of protecting your feet and body this summer Olympics.

173
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 2: One thing about Bowen Yang is he really doesn't even

174
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 2: have to run because his legs are so strong that

175
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 2: he actually at a walking speed is faster than any runner.

176
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 1: Hmm. Thank you, my sweet honey, my sweet dear.

177
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 2: You should see him when he needs to go somewhere.

178
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 2: And can I say something that my friend Matt Rogers

179
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 2: is it depends fare to say classic lie swimmers built. Yeah,

180
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 2: you know, had they had swimming in my high school,

181
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 2: I would have done that instead of track and field,

182
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 2: which I did do you know? Just to answer the

183
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 2: question for myself, I was a little track and.

184
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: Field you were a track and curly guy. Oh and

185
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: it really it all kind of fits into the biography

186
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: really well. I think, what is this.

187
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 2: We've been doing this now for ten minutes and forty seconds.

188
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 2: This is I literally said to myself, how long am

189
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 2: I going to be able to go without saying my

190
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 2: mile time?

191
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 1: Come on, give it to us.

192
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 2: It's happening now at a minute eleven, four minutes and

193
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:40,599
Speaker 2: thirty six seconds. Oh wow. See bons jaw dropped and

194
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 2: he knew the information. Well, anytime I'm reminded, it's like

195
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,119
Speaker 2: who cares about me? Like scoring well on the SATs

196
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 2: like every either no, no, no, but what I care about?

197
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 2: And this is like this is like a prince in

198
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 2: the Popper situation, like I would rather have a for

199
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 2: an under five minute month mile then know anything about math.

200
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 2: This is the classic thing with you and I, the

201
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 2: alphabet and Glinda of it all, like it is the

202
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 2: two sides of the same coin. It is had you

203
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 2: can't and this actually is true. And again we would

204
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 2: say it was a real culture if this is our podcast,

205
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 2: but we cannot. We can you cannot have a By

206
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 2: the way, it's not just scoring well on those tests.

207
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 2: You hate a perfect score on the ACT. Okay, a

208
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 2: thirty six Okay, let's talk about that. You cannot have

209
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 2: a thirty six on the ACT and a four to

210
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 2: thirty six mile. You can't. You'd be assassinated by jealous people.

211
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: Oh my god, but they're out there, Matt.

212
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 2: I know, I'm so scared.

213
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,599
Speaker 1: I know, let's get back on topic. We're here to

214
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: talk about the Olympics.

215
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 2: We're here to chat about the Olympics. And but now

216
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 2: I just think you sort of get a sense of

217
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 2: our lens. I think what we really did there. But

218
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 2: is we set this podcast up. Now everyone has the

219
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 2: love expectations that they need for us and our Olympic

220
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 2: know how, it's really just gonna be a little bit.

221
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 2: I mean, we're we're we're what is it. We're Waldorf

00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: This Statler and Waldorf absolutely Muppet reference, Muppet reference. And

224
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,800

225
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,839
Speaker 1: Sis Datler and Waldorf, and.

226
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 2: There's gonna be so much more, well just kidding, we're

227
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,839
Speaker 2: gonna get into the actual Olympics. But we're going to

228
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 2: take a quick break and we're gonna come back with

229
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 2: real Olympic commentary.

230
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: We're bad, sure are now, Matt. Before we before we

231
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: talk about our top stories going into the Paris Games

232
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, let's just do a general exchange of

233
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: what are your What do the Olympics mean to you?

234
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 2: Great music? Can I say I love hearing the music?

235
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 2: I love hearing the Olympic theme. I don't know if

236
00:11:53,400 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 2: I could sing it for you right now? Could you? Yeah, yes,

237
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 2: yes you can sing it.

238
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: If I can sing it, you can sing it.

239
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 2: I kind of gave flute, you kind of gave trombone,

240
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 2: and that's kind of what we give.

241
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: And that's what we give, flute and trombone.

242
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,719
Speaker 2: What about you? What jumps out when you think Olympics?

243
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: I think I truly do get emotional at the idea.

244
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: And this is what the five rings concept is. It

245
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 1: is the continents of the world coming together to all five.

246
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 2: All five.

247
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 1: No, well, look it's America's Asia, Africa, Europe. People forget Oceania.

248
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 2: Oceania, enisod is that sort of what Australia is.

249
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: It's like Australia And then you know your your your

250
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:48,319
Speaker 1: islands above those Pacific islands, and then Antarctica we count

251
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: out unfortunately, because the penguins are competing.

252
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 2: No, they're certainly not, and I wouldn't want them to

253
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 2: because can I tell you something, They cheat nasty, they're cheekers,

254
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 2: and they dope, they're cheating dopers. And let me tell

255
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 2: you something, if you expect to win against the penguin

256
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 2: in the ice luge.

257
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: Oh, the Summer Olympics at the same.

258
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 2: You're in denial. Hunt, You're in denial. So well, let's

259
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 2: get into it. These are the top storylines of the

260
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 2: Olympics this year. First of all, we said it, will

261
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 2: say it again. Paris. Paris landmarks are going to be

262
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 2: a backdrop to these games, including like the opening ceremony.

263
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 2: This is for the first time ever at the Summer Olympics,

264
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 2: the ceremony will not be held in a stadium. It's

265
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 2: going to be a parade of boats are going to

266
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 2: start the ceremony sailing down the River sin allowing about

267
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 2: three hundred thousand spectators to attend the celebration. So this

268
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 2: is clearly. They watched Lady Gaga at the Venice Film

269
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 2: Festival and I think that That's where they got the

270
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 2: idea for this.

271
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 1: I think the IOC and the planning committees are always

272
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: studying Lady Gaga in which she does. Who's to say

273
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 1: there will be you know, like a bloody sort of

274
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 1: costume change transition that then leads to a piano valid

275
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: version of Born this way.

276
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 2: I would love that, honestly. Don't don't count out that

277
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 2: Lady Gaga will perform at these opening ceremonial Olympic Games.

278
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: Actually, but can I say something you can from what

279
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: I'm hearing, it seems that this opening ceremony, beyond the

280
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: sort of newness of it being outside out of a

281
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: stadium on the River Send, it is celebrating literally and

282
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: this is actually why we're qualified to talk about this culture.

283
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: It is because Paris is the center of that, as

284
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: we know, and I think they're really they are really

285
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: actually leading into that aspect of it. It's going to

286
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: be like a cultural celebration of like fashion, music, film,

287
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: all of it. Okay, in addition to the athletics obviously,

288
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: but like you're going to be seeing a lot of

289
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: different things that you didn't expect, and I think we can.

290
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's out there in the

291
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: press releases, like there will be like an SNL fifty boat,

292
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: Like there will be like a boat at the opening

293
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: ceremonies with SNL cast It's so crazy.

294
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 2: Do they invite you? They did not invite me.

295
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: But that's okay.

296
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 2: Who is going to be there if not you?

297
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: Some of my wonderful fellow cast mates, and I'm so

298
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: happy for them. And I wasn't given the ask.

299
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 2: But that's okay. That's not what it's about. We can

300
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 2: I say if you're not upset, I'm upset on your behalf.

301
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 2: This feels ridiculous.

302
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: It's not ridiculous. I get to host two guys five

303
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: rings with my best friend. You're right, I am involved

304
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: in the Olympics. This is going to be I think

305
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: this is going to be required supplemental listening, not even supplemental.

306
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: This is going to be the event for people to

307
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: consume the Olympics.

308
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 2: For It made sense to me. Everyone the world is

309
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 2: watching this podcast. The world is watching this podcast, which

310
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 2: is a visual medium. What do you think about how

311
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 2: the equestrian activities are going to look at Chateau de Versailles.

312
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: Well, I'm gonna be thinking, yeah, sure, horses but that

313
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: was where Kirsten duns filmed scenes from Maria An Twinette.

314
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 2: Thank you. Yeah, that's all true. That's you know. I

315
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 2: went to Versailles one time. Can I say the people

316
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 2: there were not kind to me because I am one

317
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 2: of the most American people out there, So I'm it

318
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 2: probably was because I was running through the streets being like,

319
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 2: do you guys have ketchup? But anyway, they weren't. They

320
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 2: weren't crazy nice to me and Versailles. But it like

321
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 2: it could have had to do with the fact that I,

322
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 2: like you, was more interested in like, so where did

323
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 2: Kirsten Dunce, Like where was her trailer?

324
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: Do you know they shut it down every Monday really

325
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: during filming? Wow, So they said like, look, which is crazy,

326
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: like only for Sophia do you do that? Do you

327
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: shut down Versailles truly? Or the Olympics as it were

328
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: the Olympics. It's like, you know, we're we're racing horses,

329
00:16:55,320 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: there's animal there's animals rooming about. But Versailles. Now that

330
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: it's no surprise that they were route to you, because

331
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: I think that's part of the experience, right. They want

332
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: it to total like it's you know, pre Revolution France.

333
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:14,199
Speaker 2: I've always felt I've always felt that Paris was like

334
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 2: New York City and Versailles was like Long Island or Jersey,

335
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Absolutely so, just everyone who's

336
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,919
Speaker 2: watching the equestrian stuff, just know that you're getting the

337
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,479
Speaker 2: Jersey people.

338
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 1: You got to take a train out there. The people

339
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 1: are rude and there's horse racing. Yeah, that's all Jersey

340
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: to me. That's all Long Island. To me, that's Long Island.

341
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 2: As there's gonna be beach volleyball at the Champe de Mar.

342
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 2: That's going to be an interesting thing about this podcast

343
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 2: is hearing me pronounce French stuff.

344
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 1: I think you're going to get your hit rate's going

345
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: to be seven out of ten.

346
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:47,919
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, what are you gonna give me?

347
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 2: Seven out of ten? That's pretty good. So, but you're

348
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 2: an expert in this talk about how you're French not French.

349
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: I have no association with the Nation of France with

350
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 1: French culture.

351
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 2: But you did live in Montreal and during your formative years.

352
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: And in my formative times as a child, I grew

353
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 1: up in Montreal, Quebec or the license plate stage Suvillan,

354
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: which is a reference to I remember when we were

355
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 1: part of France. Isn't that dark? Yeah, even after they

356
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 1: were let's say, annexed by Canada, they still went it's

357
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 1: it's it's like a step child going, you're not.

358
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 2: My real dad. Yeah, it is very that petulant, petulant teenage.

359
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: Everything comes out.

360
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 2: To teenage petulant when you're Montreal. Well, French is Bowen's

361
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 2: first language, so that's why I'm saying pronunciation wise, we

362
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 2: got it.

363
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 3: We got it online.

364
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: Now, talk about watching beach volleyball in what is very

365
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: much an urban park. Is is that going to take

366
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: you out of the experience.

367
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 2: No, because I'm going to be looking at the players.

368
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 2: Beach volleyball is one of the honest things you can do.

369
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 2: It's one of the hottest and most fun things you

370
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 2: can do. And I would also say that the excitement

371
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 2: factor is through the room. This is why I think

372
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 2: one of the most exciting things to watch, because it's

373
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:25,120
Speaker 2: truly challengers coded. Yes, in that it is head to head,

374
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 2: head to.

375
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,640
Speaker 1: Head as it were, or heads to heads.

376
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 2: Heads to heads. I'm a huge beach volleyball fan.

377
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,360
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, because you know what's great about beach volleyball,

378
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: What fast. Yes, it's a fast game. There's never a

379
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 1: dull moment.

380
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 2: It moves.

381
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: You're never like, all right, should I get more pop port? No,

382
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 1: you are glued to the screen. You're watching these people

383
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: dive into the sand to spike a ball that they

384
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: have no chance of getting.

385
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 2: Can I say, like, as someone who is a huge

386
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 2: like I love sand?

387
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: Why what well everyone hates sand?

388
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 2: Can I tell you something, I've really come around on

389
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 2: sand because I used to. I used to actually, because

390
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 2: my my biggest problem was when I whenever I went

391
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 2: to the beach, I didn't brush my singing good enough.

392
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 2: And I would bring it into the car and I'd

393
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 2: bring it into the house and I would often find

394
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 2: that sand would get in the bed. And you have

395
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 2: shared a room with me in Fire Island, and what's

396
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 2: in the bed grains and grains a lot of sand

397
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 2: of sand. But that's okay. I feel like I feel

398
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 2: like that's even if you come.

399
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: Around on it. Why why have you come around on it?

400
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 2: Because I feel like I'm embracing who I am now,

401
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 2: Like I'm a sandy person and so watching these people

402
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 2: get all sandy, that's my culture.

403
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, okay, let's talk about Simone.

404
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 2: She's back, babe.

405
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: I mean she has the wind that her back. In

406
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: terms of the story, don't we thinged? Oh yeah, I

407
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: think there's I think she will amaze us, but she

408
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: doesn't have to clear too much in terms of her

409
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: accomplishment for this to be has a history making Olympics

410
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 1: go for her.

411
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, so for the uninitiated here, Simone Biles withdrew

412
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 2: from the twenty twenty Tokyo Games. She suffered a case

413
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 2: of the twisties where she had disorientation in the air.

414
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 2: I guess she just had a little bit of like

415
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 2: I guess when you're a gymnast to say you have

416
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 2: the twisties as a gymnast, they must be really bad

417
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 2: because you're constantly twisting in the air. A yeah, for

418
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 2: it to deter you, she must have really needed a break.

419
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 2: If she can win at least one medal at these Games,

420
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 2: she will become the single most decorated US Olympic gymnast.

421
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 2: She's currently tied with Shannon Miller, who also has seven medals,

422
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 2: So this could be a major major moment for US

423
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 2: Olympic gymnasts.

424
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 1: Now, what would happen? Well, how would you react if

425
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: Simone was about to take the floor, but then I.

426
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 2: Would become swollen with pride. I would become swollen with pride.

427
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 1: Hold on, okay, so no one is about to take

428
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 1: it floor. A hush falls over the stadium.

429
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I'm already like really anxious.

430
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 1: And then like it was this salut the double doors

431
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: fling open.

432
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

433
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: And who walks in in her heels but Shinn and milk.

434
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 2: She says. And she crossed her arms like this and

435
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 2: fixed her neck and said, all right, come on, giry.

436
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 2: She's standing on the other side of the vault, looking

437
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 2: her dead in the eyes as she runs down, and

438
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 2: she says, break my record. How dare you run? Leap

439
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 2: and vault land with both your feet and get your

440
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 2: score together. If you can, you'll knock me off my perch.

441
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 2: Very intimidating girl.

442
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: But then Shannon does it, does a tear away, and

443
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 1: she's in her single.

444
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 2: And she goes, oh my god, the bitch is back.

445
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 2: I qualified at World, so I'm ill fed at World.

446
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 2: So I'm doing this too. Oh my god, You're not

447
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 2: breaking Anyway's record? No, And can I say oftentimes the

448
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 2: Olympics gives incredible narratives, But just in case it doesn't,

449
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 2: you can just listen to this and sort of play

450
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 2: this back.

451
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 1: Let's say it's August twenty twenty four, the Olympics are done,

452
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 1: or like let's say September twenty twenty four, and you're like,

453
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: I didn't really get good story this year. Just listen

454
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: to that part of the podcast.

455
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, just go back and imagine a world.

456
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: Now, can I just I really am so curious about

457
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: what you think with this topic. I feel like the twisties,

458
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: It's like the closest comparison I can draw is like

459
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 1: the yips in baseball. Yeah, these things need better names

460
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 1: because they're serious things and they're real things, but the

461
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 1: names just sound too silly, Like these are like really

462
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: big obstacles. And like if Simone Biles had come out

463
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: and said I have aerial disorientation syndrome or whatever, if

464
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: it sounded like medically legit or something, or even half

465
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 1: pseudo legit, like people would have been like, oh my god,

466
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 1: don't worry girl. But because she had to come out

467
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 1: and say I'm having the twisties, people were like, you freak.

468
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: Like I think there was like this weird blowback on

469
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: her where like she could have if it was called

470
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: anything but the Twisties, it would have been twenty percent

471
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 1: less stressful on her. In terms of the media blowback.

472
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess that's like something that's happened in

473
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 2: the last few years as people. I guess, like because

474
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,199
Speaker 2: there's so much more talk about like mental health and

475
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 2: like doing what you need to do and self care

476
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 2: that when an Olympian like engages with that, everyone's like, no,

477
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 2: it just feels like they can't be humans. But Simone

478
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 2: Biles is a human. She couldn't necessarily find a better

479
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 2: thing to call the Twisties and the Twisties. But she's

480
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 2: a human.

481
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 1: Let her cook, Let her cook, And she's a human

482
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 1: who happens to speak English, and in the English language

483
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: the Twisties are called the Twisties.

484
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 2: I don't hate the Twisties. It feels like you're coming

485
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 2: down hard on the Twisties. For her to put the

486
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 2: word twisties in a press release like she had to

487
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 2: at some point, and yeah, in twenty twenty couldn't have

488
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 2: been easy. That's why, really, why we're here just to

489
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 2: kind of tell the pr when they have aerial flop syndrome.

490
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: Right, So a lot of pr people do have aerial

491
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 1: flop syndrome, as we know looking at you Jlo's people.

492
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 2: Okay, truly update the way you do things. You know.

493
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 2: Speaking of women, Bo, there's a big question this year,

494
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 2: and it's will US women earn more metals than US

495
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 2: men For the fourth straight games. Women have been dominating.

496
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 2: I believe it was Beyonce who said girls run the world,

497
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 2: and I believe it was the Spice Girls who said

498
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 2: girl power. In the nineties. Gloria Steinem was huge in

499
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 2: the feminist moment and it's really.

500
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 1: Carried over definitely. The Beastie Boys said.

501
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 2: Girls, Fisher did, and.

502
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:15,880
Speaker 1: Lena Dunham had a show called Girls.

503
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 2: Wrote a whole show called Girls. And I feel like

504
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 2: they've all been very inspired to greatness here at the Games,

505
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 2: and I think we're going to see even more women

506
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 2: sort of tear you know. In Tokyo, the US women

507
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 2: won sixty six medals. That was fifty eight percent of

508
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 2: US medals, which exceeded the total number of medals won

509
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 2: by all other delegations except China and the Russian Olympic Committee. So,

510
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:37,880
Speaker 2: you know, two big.

511
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 1: Ones, two big ones. But the big question, as we

512
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: go into this Olympic Games as it pertains to women

513
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 1: and their medal count will be with the soccer teane.

514
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: There's a lot going on here. They've got a new coach,

515
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: a lot of new players, coming off their worst ever

516
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: performance in the FIFA Women's World Cup. Now I remember this.

517
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 1: I don't get much sports news, but this is something

518
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: I caught wind of, and I think these girls, I'm

519
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 1: rooting for them. It's an uphill battle. Yeah, you know,

520
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 1: let me tell you something. If they can get in

521
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: there and bend it like Beckham, I think huge things

522
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: are going to happen. Remember that movie? Can I tell

523
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:20,439
Speaker 1: you something you never saw it?

524
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 2: Don't ever talk about Kira Knightley again? And I know

525
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 2: it's one of your favorite things to do, and I

526
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 2: don't often do you know? You lie to be writing history.

527
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,880
Speaker 2: You always want to weigh in on Kira. You haven't

528
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:34,919
Speaker 2: even seen her breakout role. You don't even know what

529
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 2: bended like Beckham is. Ye I bet you wouldn't even

530
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 2: know the half of it. If you were a soccer

531
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 2: ball gun put in front of you, you could never

532
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 2: bend it like Beckham.

533
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:44,479
Speaker 1: I don't know.

534
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 2: It's not a hot phrase. Bend it like Beckham and

535
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 2: it feels incredible.

536
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: Wasn't he Like, Oh, they had a body double of

537
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: him in the movie like they're waiting.

538
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, that wasn't really him, right, Why.

539
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:58,879
Speaker 1: Don't you think he she should have done it? That

540
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: would have been amazing for his career.

541
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,439
Speaker 2: I mean, the man loves to be on camera, so

542
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 2: I'm shocked that it wasn't really him.

543
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: Well, I've seen clips of it. I've seen it. I

544
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,360
Speaker 1: will say it's played multiple times.

545
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 2: It has.

546
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 1: It did play multiple times in the background of my

547
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 1: childhood living room because my sister would watch it with

548
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 1: her friends.

549
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 2: I want you to watch it.

550
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 1: Do you think it still holds up just stylot, I

551
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: think it probably does.

552
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, I haven't seen it in many years, but

553
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 2: I did see it like when it came out, really

554
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 2: because we were like, who's this new girly Kiera Knightly? Right,

555
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 2: maybe that wasn't her first movie? I feel like that,

556
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,880
Speaker 2: And no, definitely wasn't first. She was like so young,

557
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 2: she was very young. So young.

558
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: We can't discuss Kiera Knightley's career on this Olympics podcast,

559
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:45,479
Speaker 1: can we?

560
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,239
Speaker 2: Well, I think we've just proven that we can. And

561
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 2: so basically, if you've been listening to this podcast and

562
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 2: you think this isn't sports, you're not necessarily right, but

563
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 2: you're not necessarily wrong. But what it was was two guys,

564
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 2: five rings, and the two guys are me and Bowen Yang.

565
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 2: And there's going to be endless episodes of this podcast

566
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 2: going forward until, of course, the Olympics ends, and then

567
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 2: the podcast ends endless.

568
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: But Matt, shall we give out our medals for our stories? Gold?

569
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 2: Silver, Yes? Okay, great, Yes, I think bronze medal goes

570
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 2: to will US women earn more metals than US men

571
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 2: for the fourth straight games. Yeah, that's something that we're

572
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 2: really following to want the gender wars to keep going.

573
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 2: I don't want to fan the flames.

574
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: No, everyone is on the same team.

575
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 2: Okay, Bronze medal goes to women versus men. Silver medal

576
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 2: I'm going to give to Simone Biles just because I

577
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 2: don't want to put gold medal pressure on her. No,

578
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 2: because there's a lot of pressure on her. And I

579
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 2: just want to say, in terms of Simone Biles, I

580
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 2: just want people to be like, yes, she's competing, it's

581
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 2: not a big deal. Yeah, Yes, there's a lot of stakes.

582
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 2: It's not a big deal. You're gonna give her the

583
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 2: twisties if you act like it's a big deal. So

584
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 2: just shush, let her compete. Shannon Miller standing over there

585
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 2: with their arms folded, being very cross but you know,

586
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 2: just silver metal like, lower the stakes.

587
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: Lower the stakes, and finally that means gold goes to

588
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: Paris landmarks as backdropped to the Games.

589
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 2: Yes, I am so excited to see Paris. I mean

590
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 2: not actually in person, because they were rude to me

591
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 2: and I never did get my ketchup, but so excited

592
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 2: that there We're going to see many shots of the

593
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 2: Eiffel Tower. I'm sure it's gonna be, you know, just

594
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 2: so little.

595
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 1: Forget the love. Don't forget the love. I want them

596
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 1: to do fencing at the patisserie. I want them to

597
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 1: be doing break dancing, breaking at the Marae, which is

598
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:53,959
Speaker 1: the gay neighborhood in Paris.

599
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 2: I want them, Oh, that would be good. I want

600
00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 2: them to use the entire rich urban history of Paris

601
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 2: to the fullest advantage, because this is once in a

602
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,040

Speaker 2: the Games in Paris for decades.

604
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: I would wager, and we were.

605
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 2: Not saying you don't have to do it for a while.

606
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 2: It's a cheap place to have the Olympics. When you
