Speaker 1: twenty six Olympic medals overall.
Speaker 2: And France's next with eighteen medals, followed by China with fourteen.
Speaker 2: Welcome to this edition of the Tea from Perry. It's
Speaker 2: a special edition of Amy and TJ. And in this
Speaker 2: episode you can call them the Golden Girls. The women
Speaker 2: of USA Gymnastics adopt a fitting new team name, but
Speaker 2: not just because of the medals around their next this morning.
Speaker 1: Plus, in this episode, the US men's soccer team handles
Speaker 1: its business. Why Coco Goff was in tears during her
Speaker 1: Olympic match, And we bet you will be cheering for
Speaker 1: the US men's basketball team's opponent today just a little bit.
Speaker 2: Also, US women do something that the US has never
Speaker 2: done in the Olympics before. And first it was rain.
Speaker 2: Now a heat wave could cause problems in Paris. A
Speaker 2: swimmer has been kicked out of the Olympics for love
Speaker 2: or something. A British rugby player has left the Olympics
Speaker 2: after allegations of racism. A Muslim athlete is accused of
Speaker 2: deliberately avoiding competition against an Israeli athlete.
Speaker 1: Plus the River Senn is open for triathlon swimming. Also,
Speaker 1: an opening ceremony performer is taking legal action because of
Speaker 1: threats and a movie we appreciate that we watched before
Speaker 1: the triathlon started. That's gonna be our movie recommendation for
Speaker 1: everybody today and you do need to watch it. So
Speaker 1: welcome everybody to this episode Ropes. So we've been doing
Speaker 1: this every morning, getting what time to the alarm clock
Speaker 1: goal of this morning.
Speaker 2: Well, no, you woke up before I think in the
Speaker 2: four o'clock range, flock, and we went to bed around
Speaker 2: two am. I'm just letting you everyone know we are
Speaker 2: doing this on about two hours of sleep.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you're already setting up an excuse to why
Speaker 1: this is gonna suck.
Speaker 3: No, just excuse why. It might be extra funny maybe
Speaker 3: or silly or I don't know.
Speaker 1: Hey, but you missed this morning. Every morning you when
Speaker 1: you do get up, I'm in here watching something and
Speaker 1: I said, oh my god, let me tell you what
Speaker 1: you missed. What you missed this morning was table tennis
Speaker 1: and badminton. Now women's badminton is just a last watch.
Speaker 1: But I discovered that my favorite US uniforms might be
Speaker 1: the ones that the US women badminton players, where it's a.
Speaker 3: Cool yet all right, I have no idea what it
Speaker 3: looks like.
Speaker 1: It's a red, white and blue count of a sport
Speaker 1: dressed thing. It looks simple and cool. You know, we've
Speaker 1: been talking about the uniforms. This is one. You're like,
Speaker 1: I'll get you a picture. But that was my morning.
Speaker 2: I will check that out, and I will say when
Speaker 2: I did come out, your eyes were closed. I think
Speaker 2: you had dozed off a little bit in the middle
Speaker 2: of the matches, just saying.
Speaker 1: It was dark in here. I saw everything this morning.
Speaker 1: But yes, with all that going on, the fun we've
Speaker 1: been having for the pastoral days, know you've been having
Speaker 1: a good time watching. We didn't have any more fun
Speaker 1: than we had yesterday, all of us. As we begin
Speaker 1: now with the Golden.
Speaker 3: Ger that's right it.
Speaker 2: You know, it felt like more of a coron nation
Speaker 2: than a competition. The US women's gymnastics team reclaiming their
Speaker 2: gold medal that they left behind at the twenty twenty
Speaker 2: Tokyo Games.
Speaker 3: They got silver.
Speaker 2: If you remember, from the very beginning, it just wasn't
Speaker 2: in doubt, and eventually they won by a nearly six
Speaker 2: point margin.
Speaker 3: That is significant.
Speaker 1: That's a huge blowout.
Speaker 3: In huge blowout.
Speaker 2: Italy ended up winning the silver medal, which was so
Speaker 2: fun to watch their enthusiasm, and then Brazil got the bronze,
Speaker 2: and watching both of those two teams was almost just
Speaker 2: as exciting as seeing the women's USA team.
Speaker 1: Well what the you know what you said Italy and Brazil,
Speaker 1: what the hell happened to China? They and win?
Speaker 2: Yeah, they both had just just mistakes that they don't
Speaker 2: usually make that they made at the worst possible time.
Speaker 2: And so yeah, both of the men's and the women's
Speaker 2: teams were expected to meddle for sure, and the Chinese
Speaker 2: men's team did.
Speaker 3: They got the silver. They thought they were going to get.
Speaker 1: The gold, but they had a collapse.
Speaker 3: They had a collapse, and the women had the same problem.
Speaker 2: We just kept watching them fall and wobble and it
Speaker 2: was just it was you just could see the disappointment.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, even if China had been great and
Speaker 1: hadn't had the falls, they still weren't going to beat
Speaker 1: the US. We watched it. It was not a competition,
Speaker 1: so it was it was almost a showcase for US
Speaker 1: gymnastics to just enjoy them because the result was never
Speaker 1: really endoubted and they.
Speaker 3: Look like they were enjoying it.
Speaker 2: Also, of no, we should point out that Russia is
Speaker 2: not competing in this Olympics, and they had been powerhouses.
Speaker 2: They won the gold last year, I mean last Olympics
Speaker 2: in Tokyo, but they have traditionally historically been powerhouses in
Speaker 2: both the men's and women's gymnastics field. So their absence
Speaker 2: certainly left an open space for there to be well
Speaker 2: for the US to have the glory that it did.
Speaker 3: Not that they couldn't have beaten them.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that isn't possible, but it would have
Speaker 2: been stiffer competition.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the women now that talk about dominance and consistency,
Speaker 1: and you mentioned the Soviet Union. So the women in
Speaker 1: the Olympics. Now it's twenty twenty four, so gold this year,
Speaker 1: So let's go back for the last to ninety two.
Speaker 1: So this year gold, last, silver, gold, gold, silver, silver, bronze, gold, bronze.
Speaker 1: That's back in Barcelona. They get a medal in every
Speaker 1: Olympics in some way before this list I just put together.
Speaker 1: Now that was ninety two bronze Barcelona, before that, you
Speaker 1: look at the list, it's all Soviet Union, yep, Romania, one.
Speaker 3: In two in all the Nadiya Komani starting it off.
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean that there are the famous famous Olympians
Speaker 2: that really started I think the fanfare around gymnastics.
Speaker 3: So anyway, it.
Speaker 2: Was a pleasure to watch, and you know what, watching
Speaker 2: some on biles it is remarkable. And she was the
Speaker 2: only US gymnast to compete on every discipline and she
Speaker 2: closed out the meat on her best. Perhaps the floor
Speaker 2: exercise vault could also be considered her best, but Flora
Speaker 2: is right up there. Her tumbling passes are unparalleled, like
Speaker 2: no one can do what she does. But yes, we
Speaker 2: all already knew that it was in the back. So
Speaker 2: when she took onto the floor for that final final event,
Speaker 2: it was just a yeah, it was a party. She
Speaker 2: was smiling old time, she was having a blast. And
Speaker 2: so then after they won their gold medals, they were
Speaker 2: asked about their new team nickname.
Speaker 3: Before they had said that it was going to be
Speaker 3: the FO five.
Speaker 2: It's basically f around and find out kind of like
Speaker 2: watch us do our thing. Yes, but they decided to
Speaker 2: change it to the Golden Girls, and it's so fitting
Speaker 2: because it's not just that they have gold hardware around
Speaker 2: their necks. Because Biles is twenty seven, Jade Carrey is
Speaker 2: twenty four, and Jordan Giles is twenty three. They are
Speaker 2: the three oldest US female gymnasts to win gold medals.
Speaker 2: How perfect to be called the Golden Girls.
Speaker 1: But I didn't realize that. I mean, you look at
Speaker 1: it twenty seven, twenty four, three, twenty one sixty like
Speaker 1: I would. I would love to have any of those ages, yea.
Speaker 1: And they're the old ladies there. That's actually the oldest team,
Speaker 1: oldest gymnastics team competing at the Paris Olympics. But the
Speaker 1: oldest teams is nineteen fifty two. I love that compeat
Speaker 1: and at Olympics, and that is I mean, it's remarkable.
Speaker 3: It is because what gymnasts do to their bodies.
Speaker 2: If it's just you're in the gym, and I know
Speaker 2: all athletes at this level, you know, do incredible things
Speaker 2: and have very very difficult workouts. Put gymnasts, especially that
Speaker 2: pounding with what you do on the floor and the
Speaker 2: bars that you take a beating, and so for her
Speaker 2: to be doing it, for them, all three of them
Speaker 2: to be doing it at their ages, at the level
Speaker 2: they're doing, it is remarkable.
Speaker 1: That's sweet.
Speaker 2: Lo.
Speaker 1: We kept saying, I'm not sure what her specialty is,
Speaker 1: but the sixteen year old, the young.
Speaker 3: And Hesley, Yes, Heslee rivera right.
Speaker 1: She did not compete, right, Oh, she didn't get to.
Speaker 1: So she watched her team get the glory. She's a
Speaker 1: part of the team. But for a little piece of me, like,
Speaker 1: oh for a little thing, I wish she could have
Speaker 1: gotten in there and contributed in some way. She did contribute,
Speaker 1: obviously to.
Speaker 3: This team to get them where they are.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but only three get to compete on each apparatus
Speaker 1: or each discipline, and she wasn't one picked. But she
Speaker 1: sat there and she smiled and she supported and she
Speaker 1: was great throughout as well. But we're going to be
Speaker 1: seeing her plenty in the future.
Speaker 2: I'm hoping, yes, in LA twenty twenty eight, we will
Speaker 2: see her do her thing.
Speaker 3: I am very sure of it.
Speaker 1: So we want to say also, after a really rocky start,
Speaker 1: the US men's soccer team got it together. Congrats to them.
Speaker 1: They lost, as you know, their initial Olympic match against
Speaker 1: France that was three nail. Didn't look good. But they
Speaker 1: beginning yesterday puts them in the quarterfinals. They're now in
Speaker 1: the knockout round and ropes. It's crazy. They have not
Speaker 1: been this far in the Olympics since two thousand I believe.
Speaker 2: The Sydney Olympics that was the last time they got
Speaker 2: to the knockout stage.
Speaker 3: So this is remarkable.
Speaker 2: And by the way, it is just the second time
Speaker 2: the US Olympic men's soccer team has made it out
Speaker 2: of that group since the current tournament format was introduced
Speaker 2: at Rome in nineteen sixty. So this is a historic,
Speaker 2: historic thing that these men have been able to pull off.
Speaker 3: And we're so excited to cheer them on and it's.
Speaker 1: So cool that we I say cool, But for the
Speaker 1: women it's like well duh, of course in the knockout stage.
Speaker 1: And for the guys like quit Ago fellas, but no,
Speaker 1: they have a little ground to make up, certainly when
Speaker 1: it comes to in comparison to the US women who
Speaker 1: have who have been so dominant for so long. But
Speaker 1: it's good to see them at least getting this far
Speaker 1: after that disappointment in the Copah didn't make it to
Speaker 1: the it.
Speaker 2: Was it was it was hard to watch, so this
Speaker 2: makes it extra sweet and we know what we're doing
Speaker 2: on Friday.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, what's up? I think it's not a little right.
Speaker 1: I think it's nine in the morning, nine am whatever.
Speaker 3: That's when the party starts.
Speaker 2: They're playing Morocco and as we mentioned, knockout stage, so
Speaker 2: they win or they go home.
Speaker 3: So everything is on the line because.
Speaker 1: We should say win or come home. The US men's
Speaker 1: basketball team, you're not really worried about them. They're gonna
Speaker 1: be playing their second game of the Paris olymp now.
Speaker 1: They blew out Serbia in the opening game. They're appointed
Speaker 1: this time as a team, however, that they barely beat
Speaker 1: just a few weeks ago South Sudan. Huh. Yes. South
Speaker 1: Sudan was up by as much as sixteen points against
Speaker 1: this very US team in an exhibition game in London
Speaker 1: last month. It took Lebron James heroics to pull that
Speaker 1: one out. They beat South Sudan at the time one
Speaker 1: o one to one hundred. This little squad had a
Speaker 1: last second shot that went out, so they could have
Speaker 1: beat the US. But they're about to play them again today.
Speaker 2: Dang.
Speaker 3: And we heard from the coach that Jason Tatum.
Speaker 2: Is expected to play this time around, so he will
Speaker 2: be off the bench and that'll be something to watch
Speaker 2: for sure, So we're excited about that as well.
Speaker 3: And this isn't do or die for them, uh no.
Speaker 1: This is still group stage and they're gonna we all
Speaker 1: know they're gonna be fine. But it's cool. South Sudan
Speaker 1: is a country that has only been a country for
Speaker 1: about thirteen years. We know Sudan was involved for I
Speaker 1: guess generations. It feels in internal conflicts, civil war and
Speaker 1: even some of these players on this team have actually
Speaker 1: had family members even though a dad or one of
Speaker 1: the players died and some of the violence there.
Speaker 2: So they're just you'll be rooting for them, but not
Speaker 2: that much. Just a little bit, yeah, you just a
Speaker 2: little bit.
Speaker 1: You want to see them do well. They their first
Speaker 1: victory ever in the Olympics was this week when they
Speaker 1: played and now they get to play these guys. I
Speaker 1: hope they have a good showing. Obviously we know who
Speaker 1: we're rooting for, but it's just it's just one of
Speaker 1: those cool stories.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't wait to watch. It was hard to
Speaker 2: watch though. Cocoa golf, she lost her singles match. She
Speaker 2: still has more competitions ahead, but of course that was
Speaker 2: the one. I'm sure she was holding on to very sweetly,
Speaker 2: but she was in tears even before the match was over.
Speaker 2: It involved a referee or an umpire.
Speaker 3: What do they call them? The chair, the chair? Okay,
Speaker 3: I got none of them.
Speaker 1: Right, but no, no, it's yeah. She's the number two
Speaker 1: player in the world. She was ranked the two seed
Speaker 1: at this actual tournament because she had real designs on
Speaker 1: a gold medal. He's in this match. She loses the
Speaker 1: first set, fine, and then she starts kind of unraveling
Speaker 1: a little bit. She's not playing as well, but there
Speaker 1: was a call that she then argued with the chair
Speaker 1: umpire about. This went on for five plus minutes. It
Speaker 1: was a heated exchange, clearly, and she had tears rolling
Speaker 1: down her flate to her face. Now what happened. There's
Speaker 1: it's a rule. The ball is coming towards her. They
Speaker 1: call it out before she hits the ball. The ball
Speaker 1: on review was actually in So the chair umpire says,
Speaker 1: you lose the point, Coco. Anyway, she says, well, wait
Speaker 1: a minute, you called out. You called out before I swung.
Speaker 1: Let's just replay the point. It was a critical point.
Speaker 1: That is what happened. She ends up losing. She said herself,
Speaker 1: I'm not blaming my loss on this one call, but
Speaker 1: she was very frustrated about what happened.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and when she started playing again, I will when
Speaker 2: she came back out, because it was a several minute
Speaker 2: heated exchange, the crowd actually booed the umpire, so they
Speaker 2: were on Cocoa gov side for sure. But yes, I
Speaker 2: do appreciate the fact that she made it very clear
Speaker 2: that she wasn't blaming that call for her loss.
Speaker 1: That's uh, you know what that's being I guess that's
Speaker 1: sportsmanship to a certain degree as well. This is cool
Speaker 1: about the US women the rugby team that just talking
Speaker 1: about yesterday. Alana Mar who was the star of that team,
Speaker 1: who has been very active on social media, very popular athlete.
Speaker 1: She's fun. If you don't know her, Alana Mar, you
Speaker 1: need to look her up. She's just a blast. But
Speaker 1: they the women's rugby team pulled something off that men
Speaker 1: or women from the US have never done in the Olymics.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 2: They claimed a bronze medal. They upset Australia, which is
Speaker 2: a powerhouse in women's rugby, so it was a big win,
Speaker 2: a big coup for the US women's rugby team, and certainly,
Speaker 2: you know they want to shine a spotlight on a
Speaker 2: sport that isn't that well known in this country, and
Speaker 2: they do it well. But we're gonna stay on the
Speaker 2: rugby side of things because there is is a story
Speaker 2: out there that wow it. You'll have to read it
Speaker 2: to believe it, or to hear it from us to
Speaker 2: believe it.
Speaker 3: A key player on.
Speaker 2: Britain's rugby team actually withdrew from competition Tuesday yesterday after
Speaker 2: she reportedly sent out an image of herself with a
Speaker 2: blacked out face with her tongue sticking out. The message
Speaker 2: she had underneath her picture read thought I'd have a
Speaker 2: better chance with the Blacks, she says. The blacks. That
Speaker 2: is what the New Zealand team. That is their nickname,
Speaker 2: All Blacks rugby team. They got their nickname not because
Speaker 2: of their skin color, but because they wear black shirts,
Speaker 2: black shorts and black socks. But certainly this was incredibly offensive.
Speaker 2: That picture and her caption made the rounds on social media,
Speaker 2: and so she withdrew, and the British Olympic Association says
Speaker 2: it's now launched an investigation after that picture came to
Speaker 2: light on social media. We haven't heard much from the
Speaker 2: British rugby team. They say they actually said she had
Speaker 2: been withdrawn on meta when she wasn't playing, and the
Speaker 2: team captain said they were This is a strange way
Speaker 2: to put it. Quote unquote broadly unaware about the allegation,
Speaker 2: but just feel like we should mention here that the
Speaker 2: New Zealand all blacks, they went on to defend their
Speaker 2: gold medal and got another one.
Speaker 1: What does broadly unaware?
Speaker 3: Exactly?
Speaker 1: That's interesting.
Speaker 2: I thought that was a very strange choice of words,
Speaker 2: but that is directly from the team captain.
Speaker 3: I am only repeating what.
Speaker 1: She said all of these It's always amazing. We almost
Speaker 1: have too much news to put into this episode because
Speaker 1: it's never fails us, right, I mean stuff and people
Speaker 1: winning medals and the competition, but there's so much that
Speaker 1: happens with these athletes outside of the competition, and oftentimes
Speaker 1: it is controversy.
Speaker 2: How do people not know not to paint their face
Speaker 2: black at this point in twenty twenty four, How is
Speaker 2: that possible?
Speaker 1: I'll take a step further. Do you know, how do
Speaker 1: you not know do not paint your face and post it? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Exactly, let's take it a step further and all see
Speaker 2: on WhatsApp?
Speaker 3: How is that not? Like I just that blows my mind?
Speaker 1: You want to take it further? How do you pay
Speaker 1: two pays and post it when you're a high profile Olympian.
Speaker 2: These are all questions that I would like to and
Speaker 2: we have not heard from her. This is she's thirty
Speaker 2: two years old. So she's also thirty two years old.
Speaker 2: Her name's Amy Wilson Hardy. And we'll wait to see
Speaker 2: if we hear from her ever.
Speaker 3: Again, why you.
Speaker 1: Give the age because she should know better?
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean everyone should know better at this point,
Speaker 2: but especially if you're a grown ass woman.
Speaker 1: Come on, and what do I always say on these things?
Speaker 1: I will wait to hear from her. Yeah, I would
Speaker 1: like to hear her side before I jump to the
Speaker 1: obvious conclusion. So we shall wait, all right. The weather
Speaker 1: has been talked about quite a bit from the very beginning,
Speaker 1: because we all saw that opening ceremony. They were just
Speaker 1: all drenched. But we got another weather situation with the Olympias
Speaker 1: that could cause the problem with the athletes, but robes.
Speaker 1: This time, it's going to be the heat.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're talking.
Speaker 2: It was I believe they said, ninety eight degrees in
Speaker 2: Paris yesterday, one hundred and five in Marseille and Nice
Speaker 2: where they have some of the soccer competitions. So you know,
Speaker 2: that is grueling, and I believe it's supposed to be
Speaker 2: ninety five degrees plus today as well.
Speaker 3: Then you've got the humidity.
Speaker 2: This is not at all something that athletes who are
Speaker 2: doing things at the highest level, you know, want to
Speaker 2: contend with.
Speaker 3: It happened in Tokyo too, though.
Speaker 2: This is tough and this is tough heat, and this
Speaker 2: isn't very typical for Paris. I looked, I think there
Speaker 2: are twenty degrees above average today. It is going to
Speaker 2: get better in the next couple of days. That's the
Speaker 2: good news. But they still have to suffer through another
Speaker 2: incredibly yes, exactly dangerous heat levels today.
Speaker 1: So that was the issue where that is the issue
Speaker 1: now is going to be the heat. We were talking
Speaker 1: about that rain. It caused issues, they say, I mean
Speaker 1: the river send is known as being nasty. You're not
Speaker 1: allowed you, it's your band from swimming in it. At
Speaker 1: least folks around France and they done this. You can't
Speaker 1: swim in the sand because it's nasty. Well, the water
Speaker 1: quality of the river where the swimming portion of the
Speaker 1: triathlon was scheduled to take place. The water quality was
Speaker 1: so low that they had to delay the start of
Speaker 1: the triathlon. They had to actually cancel some practices that
Speaker 1: were supposed to take place. However, the triathlons went off
Speaker 1: this morning. We're not gonna give you any results, but
Speaker 1: we can tell you that in fact, they say the
Speaker 1: levels are now safe. You believe that they're now safe.
Speaker 1: And we saw those athletes jumping.
Speaker 2: In that when I when I came into the living
Speaker 2: room this morning, I that's what I walked into. Badminton
Speaker 2: was over, table tennis was over, but the triathlon was on.
Speaker 3: The swimming portion was at the very least.
Speaker 2: And you know Paris officials, they spent one point five
Speaker 2: billion dollar to try and clean the send. They actually
Speaker 2: hope by twenty twenty five that people can just they're
Speaker 2: gonna have swimming pools in the Sin. This is their
Speaker 2: ambitious plan to bring the Send back into daily life
Speaker 2: in Paris. And so this was kind of the big
Speaker 2: kick start where they could say, hey, look we had
Speaker 2: Olympic swimming trials here in the Sin and it went
Speaker 2: off without hitch. I will say it was beautiful to
Speaker 2: watch to see them in the sind well, I wasn't
Speaker 2: looking directly in the water or at the water quality,
Speaker 2: but just to be swimming the sind to see all
Speaker 2: of the sites of Paris, it was. I thought it
Speaker 2: was beautiful. But I will say it was also a
Speaker 2: little eerie because of the movie we watched last night.
Speaker 2: It almost looked like life imitating art.
Speaker 1: The movie had very crystal clear water. Could see everything
Speaker 1: this stuff today. After all we've been talking about with
Speaker 1: this water. To see them jumping in it today, I.
Speaker 2: Was like, you said, ew, Chis, But you know what,
Speaker 2: the movie with the clear water had sharks in it.
Speaker 2: So yeah, we watched Really there's under Paris. I don't
Speaker 2: know if y'all have seen it Netflix. It was promoted
Speaker 2: heavily in the several weeks ago, and we never clicked
Speaker 2: on it. And we thought, you know what, at midnight
Speaker 2: last night, why not just put this movie on and
Speaker 2: we'll fall asleep to it.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, gotta be up at three thirty, but let's
Speaker 1: let's stay up and watch the movie.
Speaker 2: No, we figured we would just fall asleep to it. It
Speaker 2: was like our going to sleep movie. And yet we
Speaker 2: stayed up for the whole entire thing because it was
Speaker 2: so ridiculous and yet compelling at the same time.
Speaker 1: It was fun to watch. It had great beauty shots
Speaker 1: of Paris. But the idea essentially that a shark gets
Speaker 1: into the sin this I guess.
Speaker 3: And reproduces massively experimental shark.
Speaker 1: Was it some research shark, it was something.
Speaker 2: It was something that could reproduce without actually having a
Speaker 2: male shark.
Speaker 1: Yes, so you got sharks all over the place. And
Speaker 1: but the thing about the movie is that they do
Speaker 1: talk about Paris. We're getting ready for the Olympics. We
Speaker 1: are they The movie is about a triathlon, yep, that
Speaker 1: they're getting ready for and the mayor a woman in
Speaker 1: the movie and a woman mayor in real.
Speaker 2: Life actual Paris mayor and Hidalgo could have been depicted
Speaker 2: in the movie. We're not sure, but it kind of
Speaker 2: seemed like it.
Speaker 1: She does not want to watch this movie.
Speaker 3: She should not watch this movie.
Speaker 2: But it's funny because yes, they actually in the movie
Speaker 2: talk about the one point five billion dollars cleanup and
Speaker 2: how it's so important for the city of Paris, and
Speaker 2: how the Olympics are coming and all the eyes are
Speaker 2: on Paris. The journalists had all come in, and so
Speaker 2: she had that triathlon go on despite the fact that
Speaker 2: there were sharks in the end, and you can imagine
Speaker 2: what happened.
Speaker 1: They don't talk about the water being nasty. They just
Speaker 1: say show well.
Speaker 2: They did say they cleaned up the water to have
Speaker 2: the triathlon, to have the Olympics, like that was a
Speaker 2: narrative in the movie.
Speaker 1: So that was an aside, and their problem was sharks.
Speaker 1: Our problem now at the Olympics is pollution posion.
Speaker 3: E coli to be specific.
Speaker 1: Oh god, you thought, you know, I read something a
Speaker 1: terrible note because it rained a little bit.
Speaker 3: I think it did in the beginning, in the.
Speaker 1: Beginning of so what this. I saw some professor, He said,
Speaker 1: the problem you have it's not just that rainwater coming down.
Speaker 1: What happens is the rainwater washes into all those pear
Speaker 1: of streets and all those the runoff and it runs.
Speaker 1: And you just thought it was cool to see them
Speaker 1: jumping in that worner.
Speaker 3: I was just looking at the imagery on the television.
Speaker 1: That's all one Brazilian. I think she'd like to still
Speaker 1: be swimming, but she's home right now. She has filed
Speaker 1: an official complaint against her country's Olympic committee because they
Speaker 1: sent her packing from the Olympics. Now, why did they
Speaker 1: send one of their own athletes home.
Speaker 2: Well, she sneaked out or tried to sneak out of
Speaker 2: Olympic village with her partner, her boyfriend, who also was
Speaker 2: an Olympian, but he had already competed and not done well.
Speaker 2: But they were trying to go out on the town.
Speaker 2: Perhaps they got caught, and that is a big no no.
Speaker 2: But apparently it wasn't just that she got caught trying
Speaker 2: to sneak out with her boyfriend. It was how she
Speaker 2: reacted to getting caught just sneaking out, And.
Speaker 1: They say that's where got her sent home. It wasn't
Speaker 1: a matter of just the violation, and he was not
Speaker 1: sent home. So she is the one who gets the
Speaker 1: greater punishment. But they say that's because of how she reacted.
Speaker 1: She was very disrespectful, and I appreciate with somebody from Brazil,
Speaker 1: one of their coaches or officials said, we ain't here
Speaker 1: to play, we ain't here to party. This is a
Speaker 1: business trip that the taxpayers of Brazil are paying for.
Speaker 3: I kind of like that. I appreciated it too.
Speaker 2: I thought he made a very good point and just said, hey,
Speaker 2: this is not about This isn't your vacation. This isn't
Speaker 2: you know, your little pleasure trip, and this is funded
Speaker 2: by the people of Brazil, and so be respectful. And
Speaker 2: if you can't be, then you're going home. And that's
Speaker 2: exactly what happened.
Speaker 1: And she's home. But she says now that she has
Speaker 1: lawyers getting involved. And by the way, she she swins
Speaker 1: the floor by one hundred. Relay for Brazil. They didn't
Speaker 1: make get to the finals. In fact, they finished seventh
Speaker 1: in their seat.
Speaker 2: Okay, in their own heat heat, Okay, got it, got it,
Speaker 2: got to get seventh.
Speaker 1: If that team was, you know, going for a goal,
Speaker 1: you think they would have sent her home.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with no.
Speaker 1: No, okay.
Speaker 2: So her basically, what you're saying is her Olympic prowess
Speaker 2: didn't match her disdain.
Speaker 3: For the rules.
Speaker 1: Body can't cash those checks.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, wait, what did you say. I'll always say
Speaker 3: that again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was talking to you if your mouth is
Speaker 1: writing checks that your body can't cash. So her performance
Speaker 1: was not up to par. Another controversy. We hate to
Speaker 1: see these types of things. But with so many countries involved.
Speaker 1: You know there's going to be some kind of a
Speaker 1: diplomatic brujaha some sort. But this time we're talking about judow.
Speaker 1: I know, you don't probably not pay a whole lot
Speaker 1: of attention to Judo is not the most popular sport
Speaker 1: that everybody's watching in the Olympics, but it's in the
Speaker 1: news because the official governing body of judo internationally is
Speaker 1: now investigating after an athlete from Algeria didn't make weight
Speaker 1: and was disqualified from his match. Now, it's not uncommon
Speaker 1: more so you see it in boxing. There are way
Speaker 1: ins you have to do this and have to stay
Speaker 1: a certain weight. He missed weight. Not the biggest deal
Speaker 1: in the world, you would think, but the governing body
Speaker 1: says other people are complaining that this has happened a
Speaker 1: little too frequently, with Algeria in particular, has happened I
Speaker 1: think three times in the past two Olympics. And the
Speaker 1: issue here is that Algeria does not recognize Israel, so
Speaker 1: they believe that maybe pressure was put on the athlete
Speaker 1: by his government to not be out there and have
Speaker 1: to compete against an Israeli an Israeli athletes that sucks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So when they find out these athletes, it appears
Speaker 2: when they find out they are going to be going
Speaker 2: one on one with an Israeli athlete, they then have
Speaker 2: a reason or an excuse not to compete.
Speaker 1: And there have been other instances where the same Israeli
Speaker 1: athlete had somebody do the same thing. At the previous Olympics,
Speaker 1: there have been issues where athletes from other countries wanting
Speaker 1: to shake hands with Israelis. That's not the spirit of
Speaker 1: the Olympics.
Speaker 3: The opposite.
Speaker 1: The countries are doing their thing. But this is the
Speaker 1: one place where that was supposed to the Olympic idea, right, So.
Speaker 2: The politics are not a part of these games. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they definitely shouldn't be. You know what, I can't believe
Speaker 2: that we're still talking about the opening ceremony.
Speaker 3: That is crazy.
Speaker 2: We heard from former President Trump actually calling the opening
Speaker 2: ceremonies a disgrace. And well, and that's Brody who heard
Speaker 2: somebody at the door. But sorry for that interruption, Brody,
Speaker 2: Please be quiet. We're doing this from our apartment and
Speaker 2: we do have our Brody here. But anyway, so the
Speaker 2: Olympic spokesperson already clarified that the intention was to have
Speaker 2: not a depiction of the Last Supper, which offended and
Speaker 2: raw drew a lot of criticism from the Catholic Church
Speaker 2: among many others. But they said this was about having
Speaker 2: a grand pagan festival connected to the gods of Olympus,
Speaker 2: not the Last Supper. Well, it's not just that President
Speaker 2: Trump is weighed in. Former President Trump is weighed in.
Speaker 2: Now the French DJ you might if you saw the
Speaker 2: opening ceremonies, she was in this center. Her name is
Speaker 2: Barbara Busch. She has now filed so police reports because
Speaker 2: she says she's received specific and alarming death threats for
Speaker 2: her participation in the opening ceremonies. And so the Paris
Speaker 2: Prosecutor's office has confirmed that a complaint has been made
Speaker 2: for cyber harassment, and they said that the facts could
Speaker 2: potentially qualify as abuse aggravated by discrimination, death threats, and
Speaker 2: public incitement to attempt on the life or physical integrity
Speaker 2: of people. So this is serious, and this is sad.
Speaker 3: It's just sad.
Speaker 2: I actually feel like in the name of defending Christianity
Speaker 2: or you're just at least trying to say that wasn't cool,
Speaker 2: or were offended or and there was an apology issued
Speaker 2: for anyone who was offended to then take it to
Speaker 2: a level of threatening violence is certainly not in the
Speaker 2: spirit of Christianity. So it just leaves me frustrated and annoyed.
Speaker 1: In the name of PRIs said, in the name of Christianity,
Speaker 1: Christianity doing a very non Christian.
Speaker 2: Exactly, and that is just it's as hypocritical as it gets.
Speaker 1: You're right, we're still talking about the openings aremonies. We
Speaker 1: should be talking about it because it's.
Speaker 2: Awesome, right I thought it was amazing, but you know,
Speaker 2: not everyone agrees.
Speaker 1: All right, well, we got today. What's the schedule today?
Speaker 2: Today we are going to be watching the men's all
Speaker 2: around individual gymnastics finals, Paul Judah, Frederick Flip Richard competing
Speaker 2: for a medal after their unbelievable team final on Monday
Speaker 2: that earned them the bronze. Team USA got the bronze.
Speaker 2: But like we'll see if I am so sorry, Brody
Speaker 2: is really going crazy right now. Apologies for that, but
Speaker 2: this is so cool because both Judah and Richard are
Speaker 2: making their Olympic debut, So this is so amazing for
Speaker 2: both of twenty and twenty four I believe with their ages.
Speaker 2: But I will see what they can do. Also US
Speaker 2: men's basketball, we talked about that. That's today women's soccer.
Speaker 2: They can secure their first place finish. They're going to
Speaker 2: go ahead, but they can win or they can draw
Speaker 2: against Australia and they're good. They're going to go against
Speaker 2: Germany on Sunday, which is going to be super cool. Sorry,
Speaker 2: they already won against er many of my apologies for one,
Speaker 2: so we'll see what happens with them against Australia.
Speaker 3: But I feel like they're in good shape.
Speaker 2: Multiple finals in swimming, including the fifteen hundred meter women's freestyle,
Speaker 2: Katie Ledecki can get yet another medal in Paris, and
Speaker 2: then tennis is a big day in tennis. We've got
Speaker 2: a lot of matches up, including we mentioned Cocoa Goff.
Speaker 2: She gets to do a mixed doubles quarter final. She's
Speaker 2: a chance at a medal. There too a lot going
Speaker 2: on today, a lot to watch, and we're excited to
Speaker 2: let you all in.
Speaker 3: On the action.
Speaker 1: Apparently your dog is excited.
Speaker 3: Yeah he is. Yeah, he's very very into the Olympics.
Speaker 1: You know, we're going to give you all just a
Speaker 1: little insight right now. We could post this picture of
Speaker 1: our setup. But I don't think either one of us
Speaker 1: is dressed appropriately to post a picture, even we know
Speaker 1: not to put stuff out of social media. Are I
Speaker 1: am on one knee? Oh my god, I'm actually on
Speaker 1: one You're on one right in front of you.
Speaker 3: Now I am literally wonder why.
Speaker 1: I don't even know why I'm on one knee link
Speaker 1: You're just practicing leaning down into a microphone that's on
Speaker 1: a big round coffee table. We have a big screen
Speaker 1: TV with I think this is bike BMX bike. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Olympics on robes. Is in a what.
Speaker 3: Uh it's a sports brawnz sweatpants.
Speaker 1: I just got sweatpants.
Speaker 3: You don't have a shirt on.
Speaker 1: This is this is how we were all in the morning.
Speaker 1: And the dog is staring.
Speaker 3: At me a little different from morning television.
Speaker 1: And would you know so you've heard the dog barking.
Speaker 1: I am looking right now on Life three sixty because
Speaker 1: my daughter Sabine is on the way here because I
Speaker 1: got to get hurt. It's an orthodiz dis deployment. This
Speaker 1: is what's.
Speaker 2: Happening with dad duties just mixing in and Brodie's all
Speaker 2: stirred up because anytime you go to the door and
Speaker 2: you've kind of propped it open for Sabine. He goes
Speaker 2: crazy because he thinks he never barks, but if he
Speaker 2: thinks someone's at the door, he will bark. So that's
Speaker 2: what was happening behind the scenes.
Speaker 1: So we need to wrap this up. I see Sabine
Speaker 1: is getting closer and when she gets to the door,
Speaker 1: he's gonna lose. He's gonna go wrap it.
Speaker 3: Yeah we should, we should.
Speaker 2: But anyway, thank you once again for joining us for
Speaker 2: our tea and Perry, we'll have more to come tomorrow.
