And first it was rain. 0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:01.920 Now a heat wave could cause problems in Paris.

So we've been doing 0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:42.280 this every morning, getting what time to the alarm clock 0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:42.960 goal of this morning. 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:46.440 Well, no, you woke up before I think in the 0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:49.360 four o'clock range, flock, and we went to bed around 0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:52.120 two am. I'm just letting you everyone know we are 0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:53.760 doing this on about two hours of sleep. 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:57.000 Okay, so you're already setting up an excuse to why 0:01:57.200 --> 0:01:58.040 this is gonna suck. 0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:01.720 No, just excuse why. It might be extra funny maybe 0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:03.360 or silly or I don't know. 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:05.960 Hey, but you missed this morning. Every morning you when 0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:07.800 you do get up, I'm in here watching something and 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:08.959 I said, oh my god, let me tell you what 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:11.440 you missed. What you missed this morning was table tennis 0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:17.079 and badminton. Now women's badminton is just a last watch. 0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:21.560 But I discovered that my favorite US uniforms might be 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:27.720 the ones that the US women badminton players, where it's a. 0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:29.760 Cool yet all right, I have no idea what it 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:30.040 looks like. 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:32.480 It's a red, white and blue count of a sport 0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:36.000 dressed thing. It looks simple and cool. You know, we've 0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:38.480 been talking about the uniforms. This is one. You're like, 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:40.760 I'll get you a picture. But that was my morning. 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:42.919 I will check that out, and I will say when 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:44.720 I did come out, your eyes were closed. I think 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:46.600 you had dozed off a little bit in the middle 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:48.040 of the matches, just saying. 0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:51.040 It was dark in here. I saw everything this morning. 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:53.160 But yes, with all that going on, the fun we've 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:54.959 been having for the pastoral days, know you've been having 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:57.519 a good time watching. We didn't have any more fun 0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:00.720 than we had yesterday, all of us. As we begin 0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:02.640 now with the Golden. 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:03.120 Ger that's right it. 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:05.560 You know, it felt like more of a coron nation 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:10.200 than a competition. The US women's gymnastics team reclaiming their 0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:13.400 gold medal that they left behind at the twenty twenty 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:14.120 Tokyo Games. 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:14.760 They got silver. 0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:20.320 If you remember, from the very beginning, it just wasn't 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:23.919 in doubt, and eventually they won by a nearly six 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:25.400 point margin. 0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:27.120 That is significant. 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:28.120 That's a huge blowout. 0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:29.840 In huge blowout. 0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:32.200 Italy ended up winning the silver medal, which was so 0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:35.480 fun to watch their enthusiasm, and then Brazil got the bronze, 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:38.000 and watching both of those two teams was almost just 0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:40.880 as exciting as seeing the women's USA team. 0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:43.480 Well what the you know what you said Italy and Brazil, 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:46.320 what the hell happened to China? They and win? 0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:50.400 Yeah, they both had just just mistakes that they don't 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:53.360 usually make that they made at the worst possible time. 0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:55.520 And so yeah, both of the men's and the women's 0:03:55.520 --> 0:04:00.520 teams were expected to meddle for sure, and the Chinese 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:01.120 men's team did. 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:02.800 They got the silver. They thought they were going to get. 0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:04.320 The gold, but they had a collapse. 0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:07.440 They had a collapse, and the women had the same problem. 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:10.200 We just kept watching them fall and wobble and it 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:12.600 was just it was you just could see the disappointment. 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:14.680 Here's the thing, even if China had been great and 0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:16.800 hadn't had the falls, they still weren't going to beat 0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:19.800 the US. We watched it. It was not a competition, 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:22.000 so it was it was almost a showcase for US 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:25.840 gymnastics to just enjoy them because the result was never 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:26.840 really endoubted and they. 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:27.680 Look like they were enjoying it. 0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:30.760 Also, of no, we should point out that Russia is 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:33.800 not competing in this Olympics, and they had been powerhouses. 0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:35.920 They won the gold last year, I mean last Olympics 0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:39.640 in Tokyo, but they have traditionally historically been powerhouses in 0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:43.480 both the men's and women's gymnastics field. So their absence 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:47.159 certainly left an open space for there to be well 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:49.400 for the US to have the glory that it did. 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:50.600 Not that they couldn't have beaten them. 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:53.159 I'm not saying that isn't possible, but it would have 0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:54.200 been stiffer competition. 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:58.320 Yeah, and the women now that talk about dominance and consistency, 0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:00.560 and you mentioned the Soviet Union. So the women in 0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:04.000 the Olympics. Now it's twenty twenty four, so gold this year, 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:06.719 So let's go back for the last to ninety two. 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:15.000 So this year gold, last, silver, gold, gold, silver, silver, bronze, gold, bronze. 0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:17.960 That's back in Barcelona. They get a medal in every 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:21.080 Olympics in some way before this list I just put together. 0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:24.760 Now that was ninety two bronze Barcelona, before that, you 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:28.320 look at the list, it's all Soviet Union, yep, Romania, one. 0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:31.240 In two in all the Nadiya Komani starting it off. 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:33.640 Yes, I mean that there are the famous famous Olympians 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:37.360 that really started I think the fanfare around gymnastics. 0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:38.080 So anyway, it. 0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:40.279 Was a pleasure to watch, and you know what, watching 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:44.320 some on biles it is remarkable. And she was the 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:47.520 only US gymnast to compete on every discipline and she 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:50.640 closed out the meat on her best. Perhaps the floor 0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:53.320 exercise vault could also be considered her best, but Flora 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:57.640 is right up there. Her tumbling passes are unparalleled, like 0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:01.560 no one can do what she does. But yes, we 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:03.320 all already knew that it was in the back. So 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:06.800 when she took onto the floor for that final final event, 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:09.599 it was just a yeah, it was a party. She 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:13.240 was smiling old time, she was having a blast. And 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:15.039 so then after they won their gold medals, they were 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:16.480 asked about their new team nickname. 0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:18.680 Before they had said that it was going to be 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:20.719 the FO five. 0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:23.960 It's basically f around and find out kind of like 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:27.120 watch us do our thing. Yes, but they decided to 0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:30.840 change it to the Golden Girls, and it's so fitting 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:33.799 because it's not just that they have gold hardware around 0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:38.960 their necks. Because Biles is twenty seven, Jade Carrey is 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:41.800 twenty four, and Jordan Giles is twenty three. They are 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:46.400 the three oldest US female gymnasts to win gold medals. 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:49.080 How perfect to be called the Golden Girls. 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:51.320 But I didn't realize that. I mean, you look at 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:53.880 it twenty seven, twenty four, three, twenty one sixty like 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:55.880 I would. I would love to have any of those ages, yea. 0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:58.760 And they're the old ladies there. That's actually the oldest team, 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:01.360 oldest gymnastics team competing at the Paris Olympics. But the 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:04.400 oldest teams is nineteen fifty two. I love that compeat 0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:08.640 and at Olympics, and that is I mean, it's remarkable. 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:11.480 It is because what gymnasts do to their bodies. 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:14.760 If it's just you're in the gym, and I know 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:17.600 all athletes at this level, you know, do incredible things 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:22.960 and have very very difficult workouts. Put gymnasts, especially that 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:26.480 pounding with what you do on the floor and the 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:29.440 bars that you take a beating, and so for her 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:31.200 to be doing it, for them, all three of them 0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:33.040 to be doing it at their ages, at the level 0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:34.280 they're doing, it is remarkable. 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:34.720 That's sweet. 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:34.760 Lo. 0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:37.280 We kept saying, I'm not sure what her specialty is, 0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:38.760 but the sixteen year old, the young. 0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:42.160 And Hesley, Yes, Heslee rivera right. 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:44.600 She did not compete, right, Oh, she didn't get to. 0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:46.840 So she watched her team get the glory. She's a 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:49.560 part of the team. But for a little piece of me, like, 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:50.960 oh for a little thing, I wish she could have 0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:53.960 gotten in there and contributed in some way. She did contribute, 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:54.640 obviously to. 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:55.880 This team to get them where they are. 0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:59.080 Yeah, but only three get to compete on each apparatus 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:01.520 or each discipline, and she wasn't one picked. But she 0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:03.280 sat there and she smiled and she supported and she 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:05.080 was great throughout as well. But we're going to be 0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:06.000 seeing her plenty in the future. 0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:09.320 I'm hoping, yes, in LA twenty twenty eight, we will 0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:10.600 see her do her thing. 0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:12.240 I am very sure of it. 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:15.760 So we want to say also, after a really rocky start, 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:18.400 the US men's soccer team got it together. Congrats to them. 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:24.080 They lost, as you know, their initial Olympic match against 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:26.120 France that was three nail. Didn't look good. But they 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:29.440 beginning yesterday puts them in the quarterfinals. They're now in 0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:31.840 the knockout round and ropes. It's crazy. They have not 0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:36.199 been this far in the Olympics since two thousand I believe. 0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:38.880 The Sydney Olympics that was the last time they got 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:40.040 to the knockout stage. 0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:42.319 So this is remarkable. 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:45.080 And by the way, it is just the second time 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:48.079 the US Olympic men's soccer team has made it out 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:52.680 of that group since the current tournament format was introduced 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:56.440 at Rome in nineteen sixty. So this is a historic, 0:08:56.960 --> 0:08:59.120 historic thing that these men have been able to pull off. 0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:01.200 And we're so excited to cheer them on and it's. 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:03.880 So cool that we I say cool, But for the 0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:07.240 women it's like well duh, of course in the knockout stage. 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:10.160 And for the guys like quit Ago fellas, but no, 0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:12.920 they have a little ground to make up, certainly when 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:15.440 it comes to in comparison to the US women who 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:17.120 have who have been so dominant for so long. But 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:19.520 it's good to see them at least getting this far 0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:22.720 after that disappointment in the Copah didn't make it to 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:23.240 the it. 0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:24.760 Was it was it was hard to watch, so this 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:27.360 makes it extra sweet and we know what we're doing 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:28.040 on Friday. 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:31.240 Oh yeah, what's up? I think it's not a little right. 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:33.520 I think it's nine in the morning, nine am whatever. 0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:34.800 That's when the party starts. 0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:38.400 They're playing Morocco and as we mentioned, knockout stage, so 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:40.360 they win or they go home. 0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:42.440 So everything is on the line because. 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:55.480 We should say win or come home. The US men's 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:58.360 basketball team, you're not really worried about them. They're gonna 0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:00.360 be playing their second game of the Paris olymp now. 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:03.960 They blew out Serbia in the opening game. They're appointed 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:07.800 this time as a team, however, that they barely beat 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:12.560 just a few weeks ago South Sudan. Huh. Yes. South 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:15.520 Sudan was up by as much as sixteen points against 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:18.640 this very US team in an exhibition game in London 0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:22.440 last month. It took Lebron James heroics to pull that 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:25.920 one out. They beat South Sudan at the time one 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:30.680 o one to one hundred. This little squad had a 0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:33.560 last second shot that went out, so they could have 0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:35.400 beat the US. But they're about to play them again today. 0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:35.760 Dang. 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:38.200 And we heard from the coach that Jason Tatum. 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:40.880 Is expected to play this time around, so he will 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:42.960 be off the bench and that'll be something to watch 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:44.800 for sure, So we're excited about that as well. 0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:47.080 And this isn't do or die for them, uh no. 0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:49.240 This is still group stage and they're gonna we all 0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:51.520 know they're gonna be fine. But it's cool. South Sudan 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:53.840 is a country that has only been a country for 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:58.480 about thirteen years. We know Sudan was involved for I 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:02.560 guess generations. It feels in internal conflicts, civil war and 0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:05.000 even some of these players on this team have actually 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:07.199 had family members even though a dad or one of 0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:09.640 the players died and some of the violence there. 0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:12.680 So they're just you'll be rooting for them, but not 0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:15.280 that much. Just a little bit, yeah, you just a 0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:15.679 little bit. 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:18.280 You want to see them do well. They their first 0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:21.360 victory ever in the Olympics was this week when they 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:23.400 played and now they get to play these guys. I 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:25.839 hope they have a good showing. Obviously we know who 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:27.920 we're rooting for, but it's just it's just one of 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:28.640 those cool stories. 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:31.280 Yeah, I can't wait to watch. It was hard to 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:35.680 watch though. Cocoa golf, she lost her singles match. She 0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:38.640 still has more competitions ahead, but of course that was 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:41.120 the one. I'm sure she was holding on to very sweetly, 0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:44.760 but she was in tears even before the match was over. 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:47.760 It involved a referee or an umpire. 0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:50.000 What do they call them? The chair, the chair? Okay, 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:50.880 I got none of them. 0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:53.840 Right, but no, no, it's yeah. She's the number two 0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:56.360 player in the world. She was ranked the two seed 0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:58.880 at this actual tournament because she had real designs on 0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:01.400 a gold medal. He's in this match. She loses the 0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:05.720 first set, fine, and then she starts kind of unraveling 0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:08.360 a little bit. She's not playing as well, but there 0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:11.640 was a call that she then argued with the chair 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:14.800 umpire about. This went on for five plus minutes. It 0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:17.760 was a heated exchange, clearly, and she had tears rolling 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:20.960 down her flate to her face. Now what happened. There's 0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:24.960 it's a rule. The ball is coming towards her. They 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:29.680 call it out before she hits the ball. The ball 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:33.880 on review was actually in So the chair umpire says, 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:36.560 you lose the point, Coco. Anyway, she says, well, wait 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:39.959 a minute, you called out. You called out before I swung. 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:42.679 Let's just replay the point. It was a critical point. 0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:45.680 That is what happened. She ends up losing. She said herself, 0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:48.800 I'm not blaming my loss on this one call, but 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:50.319 she was very frustrated about what happened. 0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:53.240 Yeah, and when she started playing again, I will when 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:55.760 she came back out, because it was a several minute 0:12:55.800 --> 0:13:00.319 heated exchange, the crowd actually booed the umpire, so they 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:02.840 were on Cocoa gov side for sure. But yes, I 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:05.000 do appreciate the fact that she made it very clear 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:08.000 that she wasn't blaming that call for her loss. 0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:10.600 That's uh, you know what that's being I guess that's 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:13.440 sportsmanship to a certain degree as well. This is cool 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:19.360 about the US women the rugby team that just talking 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:22.800 about yesterday. Alana Mar who was the star of that team, 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:27.360 who has been very active on social media, very popular athlete. 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:29.400 She's fun. If you don't know her, Alana Mar, you 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:31.520 need to look her up. She's just a blast. But 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:34.600 they the women's rugby team pulled something off that men 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:37.240 or women from the US have never done in the Olymics. 0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:38.000 That's right. 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:41.960 They claimed a bronze medal. They upset Australia, which is 0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:46.440 a powerhouse in women's rugby, so it was a big win, 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:50.400 a big coup for the US women's rugby team, and certainly, 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:52.559 you know they want to shine a spotlight on a 0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:55.240 sport that isn't that well known in this country, and 0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:57.480 they do it well. But we're gonna stay on the 0:13:57.559 --> 0:14:00.720 rugby side of things because there is is a story 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:04.960 out there that wow it. You'll have to read it 0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:06.320 to believe it, or to hear it from us to 0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:06.720 believe it. 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:08.120 A key player on. 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:13.680 Britain's rugby team actually withdrew from competition Tuesday yesterday after 0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:16.640 she reportedly sent out an image of herself with a 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:20.560 blacked out face with her tongue sticking out. The message 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:23.520 she had underneath her picture read thought I'd have a 0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:27.800 better chance with the Blacks, she says. The blacks. That 0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:30.960 is what the New Zealand team. That is their nickname, 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:34.120 All Blacks rugby team. They got their nickname not because 0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:36.720 of their skin color, but because they wear black shirts, 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:41.920 black shorts and black socks. But certainly this was incredibly offensive. 0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:46.040 That picture and her caption made the rounds on social media, 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:49.480 and so she withdrew, and the British Olympic Association says 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:53.200 it's now launched an investigation after that picture came to 0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:55.880 light on social media. We haven't heard much from the 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:58.760 British rugby team. They say they actually said she had 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:02.800 been withdrawn on meta when she wasn't playing, and the 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:04.920 team captain said they were This is a strange way 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:09.200 to put it. Quote unquote broadly unaware about the allegation, 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:11.800 but just feel like we should mention here that the 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:14.400 New Zealand all blacks, they went on to defend their 0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:15.880 gold medal and got another one. 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:17.480 What does broadly unaware? 0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:18.440 Exactly? 0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:19.160 That's interesting. 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:22.520 I thought that was a very strange choice of words, 0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:25.680 but that is directly from the team captain. 0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:27.880 I am only repeating what. 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:30.880 She said all of these It's always amazing. We almost 0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:33.480 have too much news to put into this episode because 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:35.920 it's never fails us, right, I mean stuff and people 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:38.120 winning medals and the competition, but there's so much that 0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:41.480 happens with these athletes outside of the competition, and oftentimes 0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:42.240 it is controversy. 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:44.880 How do people not know not to paint their face 0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:48.760 black at this point in twenty twenty four, How is 0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:49.480 that possible? 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:52.280 I'll take a step further. Do you know, how do 0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:56.240 you not know do not paint your face and post it? Yeah? 0:15:56.320 --> 0:16:00.280 Exactly, let's take it a step further and all see 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:01.000 on WhatsApp? 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:05.240 How is that not? Like I just that blows my mind? 0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:06.880 You want to take it further? How do you pay 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:10.280 two pays and post it when you're a high profile Olympian. 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:13.960 These are all questions that I would like to and 0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:15.920 we have not heard from her. This is she's thirty 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:18.800 two years old. So she's also thirty two years old. 0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:21.920 Her name's Amy Wilson Hardy. And we'll wait to see 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:22.960 if we hear from her ever. 0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:23.680 Again, why you. 0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:26.160 Give the age because she should know better? 0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:28.840 Yes, I mean everyone should know better at this point, 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:31.800 but especially if you're a grown ass woman. 0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:33.960 Come on, and what do I always say on these things? 0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:35.920 I will wait to hear from her. Yeah, I would 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:38.840 like to hear her side before I jump to the 0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:51.200 obvious conclusion. So we shall wait, all right. The weather 0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:53.920 has been talked about quite a bit from the very beginning, 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:56.640 because we all saw that opening ceremony. They were just 0:16:56.720 --> 0:17:00.680 all drenched. But we got another weather situation with the Olympias 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:02.280 that could cause the problem with the athletes, but robes. 0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:03.880 This time, it's going to be the heat. 0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:05.119 Yeah, we're talking. 0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:08.600 It was I believe they said, ninety eight degrees in 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:12.000 Paris yesterday, one hundred and five in Marseille and Nice 0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:15.120 where they have some of the soccer competitions. So you know, 0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:18.560 that is grueling, and I believe it's supposed to be 0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:20.879 ninety five degrees plus today as well. 0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:22.359 Then you've got the humidity. 0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:27.400 This is not at all something that athletes who are 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:30.000 doing things at the highest level, you know, want to 0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:30.440 contend with. 0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:31.880 It happened in Tokyo too, though. 0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:33.919 This is tough and this is tough heat, and this 0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:36.280 isn't very typical for Paris. I looked, I think there 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:39.520 are twenty degrees above average today. It is going to 0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:41.480 get better in the next couple of days. That's the 0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:43.479 good news. But they still have to suffer through another 0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:48.639 incredibly yes, exactly dangerous heat levels today. 0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:53.160 So that was the issue where that is the issue 0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:55.000 now is going to be the heat. We were talking 0:17:55.040 --> 0:17:58.520 about that rain. It caused issues, they say, I mean 0:17:58.560 --> 0:18:02.199 the river send is known as being nasty. You're not 0:18:02.240 --> 0:18:05.879 allowed you, it's your band from swimming in it. At 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:08.200 least folks around France and they done this. You can't 0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:12.040 swim in the sand because it's nasty. Well, the water 0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:14.680 quality of the river where the swimming portion of the 0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:19.399 triathlon was scheduled to take place. The water quality was 0:18:19.400 --> 0:18:21.919 so low that they had to delay the start of 0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:26.480 the triathlon. They had to actually cancel some practices that 0:18:26.560 --> 0:18:32.080 were supposed to take place. However, the triathlons went off 0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:33.960 this morning. We're not gonna give you any results, but 0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:36.119 we can tell you that in fact, they say the 0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:40.200 levels are now safe. You believe that they're now safe. 0:18:40.359 --> 0:18:43.160 And we saw those athletes jumping. 0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:46.680 In that when I when I came into the living 0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:49.760 room this morning, I that's what I walked into. Badminton 0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:53.840 was over, table tennis was over, but the triathlon was on. 0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:55.560 The swimming portion was at the very least. 0:18:55.600 --> 0:18:59.400 And you know Paris officials, they spent one point five 0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:02.320 billion dollar to try and clean the send. They actually 0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:04.800 hope by twenty twenty five that people can just they're 0:19:04.800 --> 0:19:06.800
