1 00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:05,240 Speaker 1: The official Olympic medal counts as we start this Tuesday, 2 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,400 Speaker 1: July thirtieth. The United States is on top of twenty 3 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 1: total medals once so far, followed by home country France 4 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 1: with sixteen total medals. Both Japan and China have twelve each. 5 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 2: Welcome to this edition of the Tea from Perry. While 6 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 2: Team USA is ahead in the overall medal count, day 7 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 2: lag behind in the gold medal category. The US has 8 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 2: won three gold medals so far, but you see Japan 9 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:35,520 Speaker 2: has six, France, China, South Korea Australia each have five 10 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,479 Speaker 2: gold medals, so we're behind in that department. 11 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:41,240 Speaker 1: Well, my understanding is that bronze is not as good 12 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 1: as gold, but you could a fool me. After watching 13 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 1: the US men's gymnastics team end their Olympics medal drought, 14 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 1: and they did it in the most story book of ways. 15 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 2: It was so incredible, all right. Also in this episode, 16 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 2: after an injury scare, Simone Biles says she is good 17 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 2: to go for gold with her team today. And then 18 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 2: an American swimmer wins a medal and his wife immediately 19 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 2: turns his win into a gender reveal party in the 20 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 2: aquatic center, and we might have seen Nadal versus Djokovic 21 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 2: for the last time ever. 22 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 1: Plus dirty river water has caused the postponement of an 23 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 1: Olympic event. Coco golf has been left home alone at 24 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,479 Speaker 1: Olympic Village. US women's basketball team had a close first game. 25 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: It is close for about five minutes and what social 26 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,119 Speaker 1: media user thought it was a good idea to take 27 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: on American rugby star Elona mar Good luck with that, 28 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 1: and yes, everybody, but we all robes. We learned a 29 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: lesson yesterday in life from the US men's gymnastics team. 30 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: I think everybody maybe has gotten the word by now 31 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 1: that they picked up that medal, But if you had 32 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: to watch them for two days to understand why a 33 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: bronze victory meant as much as it did. 34 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 2: It was from remarkable to see the redemption. And it 35 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 2: truly was an incredible redemption because in the qualifying round 36 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 2: we saw all five men do not their best and 37 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 2: it was it was devastating. None of them qualified for 38 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:23,959 Speaker 2: a finals event specifically, and the big, big devastating moment 39 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 2: was Brody. You know, everyone expected him to go on 40 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 2: to compete in the all around and he fell off 41 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 2: the high bar and from that point on. He just 42 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 2: as you mentioned in a previous podcast, there was a 43 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 2: downward spiral and he just couldn't get it together. Well, 44 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 2: guess what, he got it together along with his teammates yesterday, 45 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 2: and it was emotional. It was amazing. We were watching 46 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 2: with your daughter, Savine, and it was remarkable to see 47 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 2: them come back and score higher than they had ever 48 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,920 Speaker 2: scored before, certainly a way of the qualifying round, and 49 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 2: they delivered, and it was remarkable to watch. 50 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,799 Speaker 1: Well, we were rooting for them in a different type 51 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: of way. I've been reading afterwards and folks don't know, 52 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 1: the US men's gynastics team has not won a gold medal, 53 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: excuse me, a medal at all in the Olympics in 54 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: two thousand and eight, so that's a sixteen year drought there. 55 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: Coming into this Olympics, there were certainly high hopes for 56 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: this team, maybe more so on an individual level, but 57 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 1: certainly they can compete. To see them break down the 58 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,399 Speaker 1: way they did on Monday and then to come back 59 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: on Tuesday, some argue robes that, yeah, they have only 60 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: one person on the team has any previous Olympic experience. 61 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: I believe that's Brody Malone. So you got a bunch 62 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: of young guys first day at the Olympics. Maybe they 63 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: were a little jitterary, maybe they were a little off 64 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: where there were some nerves, but they got it together 65 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: whatever they did and talked about and they came out 66 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: and performed. You're gonna see a lot of talk about 67 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: the dude with the glasses on the Palmer horse. And yes, 68 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: it was a wonderful Olympic moment. Ropes, we're going to 69 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: talk about that Olympic moment. But to get to that 70 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: Olympic moment, and you and I watched every single flip, turn, twist, vault, 71 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: everything that team did, and they nailed it and nailed 72 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: it and nailed it, and you could feel the momentum like, 73 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: wait a minute, why aren't we talking about these guys 74 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: winning gold instead of possibly fighting for a bronze. That 75 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: team did everything possible to make that huge Olympic moment possible. 76 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,719 Speaker 2: That's right. And when you ask why they weren't even 77 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 2: up for gold or silver were all you had to 78 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 2: do was watch Japan and China because they were powerhouses 79 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 2: and what was a really incredible moment to me, we 80 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 2: were all watching together to see when China realized they 81 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 2: weren't getting the gold, and they were the darlings, they 82 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 2: were the favorites, but they had some mistakes in the end. Again, 83 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 2: that high bar was getting everybody in men's gymnastics, and 84 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 2: so they underperformed, they didn't deliver it, and Japan won gold. 85 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 2: So obviously the Japanese team which deserved it. They were 86 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 2: phenomenal and almost flawless. They were celebrating the United States 87 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 2: team to get the bronze because they were competing against Australia, 88 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 2: Great Britain. I mean, there were so many people vying 89 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 2: for that third place bronze medal, and so they were 90 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 2: a static and then you saw China and they were defeated. 91 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 2: They were almost crying and they were clearly upset. And 92 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 2: Sabine said, why is China so upset at winning the silver? 93 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 2: And why are we so excited at winning the bronze? 94 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 2: And that was such an amazing example of perspective. You know, 95 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 2: we fought for it, we didn't think we were going 96 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 2: to get it. We had such a low moment as 97 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 2: a team in the preliminaries that it was so sweet. 98 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 2: The victory was so incredible to win bronze and then 99 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 2: to see the Chinese not being able to celebrate silver 100 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 2: was kind of remarkable. 101 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: And you said, perspective there it was. They kept cutting 102 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: back and forth between those two images, and it's just 103 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: such another example of an Olympic moment and the things 104 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: you don't see. To see a team that finished ahead 105 00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: of the US almost in tears, yep, that there's second, 106 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 1: and to see the United States just the elation and 107 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 1: you say his name, I don't want to mess up 108 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: his name, ned. 109 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 2: It's it's Stephenazak, all right, Stephen Netarozak. 110 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: You've seen him, and I'm happy for him in this 111 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: moment for a lot of reasons. One of them is 112 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 1: a lot of people didn't think he should be on 113 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: this team in the first place, because the dude does 114 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,559 Speaker 1: one thing. He has one skill. He helps this team 115 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: in no other way at all. If you blow it 116 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: on the place, it's like a kicker in football. 117 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 2: That's a good way to look at it. 118 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 1: You sit on the bench all game and then Tom 119 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: Brady drives you down and says, hey, you need to 120 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 1: make this fifty yarder to win this Super Bowl for me. 121 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: That's your job. His job was this, and it came 122 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: down it was silly to me, Robes. It was silly. No, no, no, 123 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 1: I say silly, and that me being wrong. Initially, when 124 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: the meat started and the US team walked out, they 125 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: had a countdown clock on Netarozak, well like three hours. 126 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: They say a countdown from three hours. We're not going 127 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,279 Speaker 1: to see him for three hours, Like why why are 128 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: they building this up like this? 129 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 2: It was brilliant, It was amazing. The Wall Street Journal's 130 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 2: headline is the pommel horse geek who broke the US 131 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 2: men's gymnastics medal drought. I mean that he is. He 132 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 2: has become the star, and you're right, that's such a 133 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 2: good analogy. I also was thinking of being a goalkeeper. 134 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 2: It's like you weren't needed until you're needed, but when 135 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 2: you're needed, it is the most unbelievable pressure. I was 136 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 2: sweating it for this guy. I couldn't believe that somebody 137 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 2: could take on that much pressure because it was up 138 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 2: to him to seal the metal and he delivered. 139 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: And it's not fair in a lot of ways. Yet 140 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: he should get the accolades he's getting now because not okay, 141 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: he never would have been put in that position if 142 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: his team wasn't sticking landing after landing, after landing, all right, 143 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: So you in this team event, there are six events, right, 144 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: in the six events, six events, and three go yep 145 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: from each, So that's essentially eighteen routines. Seventeen routines went 146 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: damn well for him to do the eighteenth. That is 147 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: precise icly what happened. Now, granted, seventeen other things had 148 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: to go right, but still the pressure on him to 149 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: get the last one right was unbelievable. 150 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 2: It was. It was so fun to watch. I definitely 151 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 2: had tears in my eyes just because we saw from 152 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 2: where they came and what they ended up accomplishing, and 153 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 2: it was remarkable. So that was by far my favorite 154 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 2: Olympic moment of the day, but there were so many, 155 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 2: so many that we enjoyed. It's just been a blast 156 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 2: watching these athletes perform. 157 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: You know, I'm gonna give you a random one. This 158 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 1: wasn't even on the list, but this morning I saw 159 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 1: I was up. Of course at three thirty, of course 160 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: you were watching. I watched the mixed doubles ten meter 161 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:47,439 Speaker 1: air pistol final. Oh my god, okay, wow, I watched it. 162 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:54,319 Speaker 1: This was between Serbia and Turkey. A okay, okay. It 163 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: was the most boring thing I have seen in the Olympics. 164 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: That is how I start, because if you all aren't 165 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: familiar with this air pistol, you don't see them. Actually, 166 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: you don't see anything come out of the door. 167 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 2: Don't think most people are familiar. 168 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: You're right, so you don't see it. You see her here, 169 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: I see a pistol. They fire it. But if you're 170 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 1: not looking really closely, you see missed a little puff 171 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 1: of air. It's like nothing. And then the targets on 172 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 1: the screen, but nothing explodes or a hole goes through something. 173 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: You just see a little electronic dot show up. That's 174 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:24,439 Speaker 1: watching TV. 175 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:26,839 Speaker 2: And this kept you awake at three point thirty in 176 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,559 Speaker 2: the morning. It came down to the last match, the 177 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 2: last round. 178 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 1: It was so thrilling. 179 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 2: It came out on the edge. 180 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: Of my set. 181 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,719 Speaker 2: I can't believe I missed it while sleeping wat to 182 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 2: see what I. 183 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: Thought was this boring thing that I was on the 184 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: edge of my seat. And then when Serbia Wan, these 185 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 1: were friends who had been doing this for twenty years, 186 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: never got the Olympic gold. They win. She tackles him 187 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 1: and they're rolling around on the ground. That's Olympics. And 188 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: that's what I saw this morning, and you should be 189 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: sorry that you missed it. 190 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 2: You know what, Sleep, This is the perfect, perfect two 191 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 2: weeks for you. You because you get up at three 192 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 2: every day regardless, and now you don't have to miss 193 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,439 Speaker 2: any of the Olympic action. I mean, that's just amazing 194 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 2: for you. 195 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: But you missed. Those are the little moments that you're 196 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,959 Speaker 1: never going to see in primetime on NBC that if 197 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: you mess around in peacock a. 198 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:25,839 Speaker 3: Little while al somni acts everywhere are celebrating. 199 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,079 Speaker 2: I am so excited about today. Just we have to 200 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 2: talk about the US women's gymnastics team, because wow, they 201 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 2: had the opposite of what the men had in the preliminaries. 202 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 2: They were incredible and they're going to go for gold today. 203 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:46,319 Speaker 2: They finished first in qualifying and Simone Biles is scheduled 204 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 2: to compete with her team. Despite that calf issue that 205 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 2: had her limping around during the qualifying. She says she's 206 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 2: as good as she can be and she is going 207 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 2: to compete in all four events at the team finals. 208 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 2: And you know, we had to even kind of brush 209 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,559 Speaker 2: up the scoring works. So the teams enter three athletes 210 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 2: on each event. There are four events in women's gymnastics, 211 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,079 Speaker 2: so all of those scores will count toward the final 212 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 2: team score. They don't get to drop a score. And 213 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 2: Simone's going to go last on the floor exercise, on 214 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 2: the vault, and on the balance beam for the US, 215 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 2: and she'll go second for the US on uneven bars. 216 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: I can't be the only one that didn't understand as 217 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,439 Speaker 1: the scoring was going on. I was because we watched qualifying, 218 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: so in there and qualifying someone that you can drop 219 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: one score and who gets to everybody goes and then 220 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: only three you get to. It was very confusing trying 221 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: to keep up with this, and I kept asking you questions. 222 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: You know, you're the gymnast in the house. 223 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 2: Rules have changed, but yes, and I never was in 224 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 2: the Olympics or anywhere close to that. 225 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 1: But h Simone today is going to have a particular 226 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 1: fan in the stands that she hasn't had yet at 227 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: these Olympics. Her husband is going to make his way 228 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: over Jonathan Owens. He's think I think he got Lee 229 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 1: from the Chicago Bears. 230 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's taking your break from training camp, Yeah. 231 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 1: To come to port her. And good for them to 232 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 1: allow it or whatever. Maybe it was a no brainer, 233 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: but I'm glad to see he's going to be there. 234 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 1: Jonathan Owens is his name, So that continues looking forward 235 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: to that today. Also more swimming today, but a heck 236 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: of a scene from the pool yesterday, not just because 237 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:22,559 Speaker 1: of medal being won, but Ryan Murphy, a highly decorated 238 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 1: American athlete. He got a bronze medal and he got 239 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 1: a baby update within moments of each other. He had 240 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: just done the one hundred meter backstroke, got a bronze medal. 241 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 1: But not long after they put that metal around his neck, 242 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,559 Speaker 1: he looked in the stands and his wife was holding 243 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 1: a sign. What did that sign say? 244 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 2: Ropes, Ryan, It's a girl and I love it. He said, well, 245 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 2: that was a great way to find out. That really 246 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 2: lit me up and brought the night to a whole 247 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 2: other level. It's really exciting to learn that I'm going 248 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 2: to be a girl, dad, and to learn it when 249 00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 2: you're coming off the podium with a bronze medal around 250 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 2: your neck is pretty remarkable. Although that heat, I have 251 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 2: to say that final it was unreal. Like he we 252 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 2: thought he was gonna win. I mean, you couldn't. It 253 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 2: was just unreal how closely those three on the podium 254 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 2: were to one another. By the naked eye, you could 255 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 2: never see who won. I could not tell. 256 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 1: I said, if I'd have lost that race by that margin, 257 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,599 Speaker 1: I would have issued an official protest. Yeah, like, no, 258 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,079 Speaker 1: I need you all to go back and check. That's 259 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: too close. 260 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 2: It was crazy. 261 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: I cann't be that close. But congrats to him. We've 262 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: seen some cool scenes like that every once in a while. 263 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: Once in a while at the Olympics, they turned these 264 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 1: into life moments. I think there was an engagement that's 265 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: taken place already. You have this baby news, the guy 266 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 1: lost his ring in the river. Yea. So life and 267 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 1: relationships are going many directions. 268 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 2: You know what, though, you in these moments, when it 269 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 2: all comes to a head and you're out there, you 270 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 2: realize what's important. And I think that's pretty is the 271 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,959 Speaker 2: human side of these athletes. They're all living their lives 272 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 2: as well at the same time. So it's it's awesome 273 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 2: when they share a little bit of that with us. 274 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,199 Speaker 1: And we need to certainlyppreciate what they've shared with us. 275 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 1: But we need to appreciate these two guys, Rafa, Nadal 276 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 1: and Novak Djokovic and no Nadal versus Djokovic. We have 277 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: seen this match up sixty times and we might never 278 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: see it again. These two robes ended up in an 279 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: early round playing each other at the Olympics. One of 280 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: them had to go. But the biggest issue really is 281 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: this might be the last time we get to see 282 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: these two. 283 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, and Nadal's retirement rumors have swirled for quite some time, 284 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 2: but he did not appreciate them after this match. I 285 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 2: want to quote him here because he you know, look, 286 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 2: it's got to be tough. It was a tough loss 287 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 2: for him with a very big rival, obviously, but he said, 288 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 2: I cannot live every single day with the feeling that 289 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 2: it's going to be or not going to be my 290 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 2: last match. I come here, I try my best, I play, 291 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 2: and when I decide to stop playing, or when I 292 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 2: decide to keep going, I will let you know. I 293 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 2: don't know that's fair. 294 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: He just lost. No matter what, you mad, every time 295 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 1: you lose a match, correct, And so I gotta hear 296 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 1: this again and hear this again, and hear this again. 297 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 1: But these guys are what forty six Grand Slams between them. 298 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: Novak all time with twenty four and of course the 299 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 1: doll has twenty two. But the funny thing is so 300 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 1: often we think about the all time greats and who 301 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: we love in tennis. Recently we talk about Federer. Federer 302 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 1: has twenty. These guys were the youngins, kind of chasing 303 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 1: him or competing with him, and now they've surpassed him. 304 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: These are the guys. And to think that these two have, 305 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: I mean, how many decades now we've been watching these guys. 306 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 1: We might never see it again. We should stop and 307 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 1: appreciate it. 308 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 2: We should, and it was a moment to watch. Well. 309 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 2: I know that the Parisian officials are watching something very closely. 310 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 2: The river Senn Right now it remains too dirty to 311 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 2: swim in. In fact, they've had to postpone once again 312 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 2: the men's triathlon. It was supposed to start today. Now 313 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 2: it's at least until tomorrow. The women are supposed to 314 00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 2: swim tomorrow. So they say that if the river sen 315 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 2: is clean enough, they'll swim after the women. But this 316 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 2: this is a tough story. It's not surprising with all 317 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 2: of the rain they've had. And they I keep crossing 318 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 2: their fingers. I think they said, it's like late at 319 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 2: night when Paris is sleeping. Officials go out and test 320 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 2: the water, and so far it's not been so good. 321 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 2: But I have I have found it very interesting about 322 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 2: what some of these athletes, these triathletes who have been 323 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 2: waiting to swim, they haven't even been able to train, 324 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 2: by the way, the last two days they haven't been 325 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 2: able to train. That's got to be really tough. But 326 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 2: I was reading up on what they have to do 327 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 2: when they swim and open bodies of water. These aren't 328 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 2: chlorinated pools, obviously, but it's kind of gross. They literally 329 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 2: talk about eating yogurt, taking probiotics, having to disinfect their 330 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 2: wet suits when they get backed so that they prevent illness. 331 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 2: Because we're talking about levels of not to be totally 332 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 2: gross here, but E coli. And that is pretty disgusting 333 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 2: if you think about it. But they're used to this, 334 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 2: and they've said, hey, we'll swim in anything to get 335 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 2: a medal. They're ready to go, and I was just 336 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 2: I guess, this isn't that big of a deal for them, but. 337 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 1: It has to be a big deal for the people 338 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 1: responsible for the safety of the athletes, I guess. And yes, 339 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,199 Speaker 1: every single swimmer you tell them we're going today, they 340 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,400 Speaker 1: will go out there and they will swim, but they've 341 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 1: been working. I guess it's really nothing you can do. 342 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,880 Speaker 1: You can't exactly just drop a few chlorine tablets into 343 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 1: the river sind and think it's going to be good 344 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: to go. So the options were to start postponing and 345 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 1: if they have to, they would take the triathlon athlon 346 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,479 Speaker 1: down and not do the swimming portion, just do the running. 347 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 2: What do you do, right? 348 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 1: But if swimming is your strongest. 349 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 2: Right, they have a plan to postpone it to August first, 350 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 2: at least for now, and then I guess they'll just 351 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,360 Speaker 2: keep kicking the can down the road. 352 00:17:48,560 --> 00:18:00,880 Speaker 1: That sucks. That's us, shall see. You've heard a lot 353 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:06,399 Speaker 1: about Olympic Village really over the years, and you hear 354 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 1: a lot of athletes talk so well, so how wonderful 355 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 1: of an experience it is to be able to be 356 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 1: in there. And this is exclusive and you remember this, 357 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 1: This was I don't know if you've ever been in 358 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 1: it Olympic Village, but they were very very strict about 359 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 1: letting anybody in there. They want to keep it. This 360 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 1: is strictly for the athletes. And that is where the 361 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:29,359 Speaker 1: American tennis team has been staying along with American tennis 362 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 1: star co col Golf. Well co Co Golf has now 363 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 1: been left home alone at Olympic Village by her teammates Robes, no, 364 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 1: not several of them. All her teammates apparently have bounced 365 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,159 Speaker 1: left Olympic Village. That of course the living area and 366 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,880 Speaker 1: the eating area, this is just the spot. But they 367 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: are out of there. 368 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 2: Yes, they said that the beds were too tough, they 369 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 2: couldn't sleep and they needed their sleep in order to win. 370 00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 2: So they have all gone to some posher hotels. But 371 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,719 Speaker 2: Cocoa Goff is staying in because she said she's just 372 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 2: drinking in the Olympic experience and being able to, you know, 373 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 2: bounce into Simone Biles or she had a lovely meal 374 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 2: with American sprinter Noah Lyles. She was apparently by herself 375 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:21,120 Speaker 2: because again she's all alone. Her teammates have gone to hotels, 376 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,120 Speaker 2: and she said she got to have a meal with Lyles, 377 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,159 Speaker 2: who told her you got this and at the end 378 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 2: of the day, you've just got to be you. And 379 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 2: Goff said that just having that conversation with him flipped 380 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 2: a switch for her. So just being able to have 381 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 2: these exciting conversations with the greats of all of these 382 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 2: different sports has given her, she said, just an extra 383 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 2: ophen in her excitement and confidence going forward in her competition. 384 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,160 Speaker 1: You heard people they've been lost up on social media 385 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,679 Speaker 1: and reporting about these The living conditions. Now, I remember 386 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:59,119 Speaker 1: the Olympics in Athens at least, where Athens had to 387 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:05,120 Speaker 1: essentially construct all these new places. Some cities have infrastruction place, 388 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 1: but a place like Athens had to build like just 389 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:11,360 Speaker 1: these makeshift quarters, these dormitories and whatnot. And I remember 390 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: mine was it's tiny. The water doesn't the hot water 391 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 1: you're gonna get it this morning, don't know how much 392 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: is it gonna flow, don't know that toilet is not flushing. 393 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 1: Good luck. Tiny, it's just a brand Imagine a tiny, tiny, 394 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,439 Speaker 1: brand new walk in closet. Is what it looks like 395 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 1: that somebody just slid a mattress into it and slid 396 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 1: a chair into that is what the best athletes in 397 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: the world. Those aren't good living conditions and the beds 398 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 1: are really short, so they are legitimate complaints quote unquote 399 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: if you will about it, especially when world class athletes 400 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 1: are used to having world class facilities, including world class 401 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 1: sleeping quarters. 402 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, and obviously getting the right kind of sleep is important, 403 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 2: to say the least to perform at the highest level. 404 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 2: And you know, it's funny we were saying that I 405 00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 2: was remembering Sochi. I was in the Sochi Olympics. They 406 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 2: were so not ready, and I mean it became such 407 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 2: a viral sensation with athletes posting what their living conditions 408 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,239 Speaker 2: were like. When we even came to certain hotels, we 409 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:14,200 Speaker 2: had to sign a like an affidavit saying we would 410 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:18,920 Speaker 2: not post what our hotel rooms looked like on social media. 411 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 2: In order to get a key to the room, we 412 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,639 Speaker 2: had to legally say we would not put anything on 413 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 2: social media. That's how seriously they took all of the 414 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 2: negative attention. We have not seen that in this Olympics 415 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 2: the way we have in others, not even like I'm 416 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 2: telling like Sochi Rio, I remember that was also an issue. 417 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 2: I feel like, actually I haven't heard the only complaint 418 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,159 Speaker 2: I've heard about Olympic village or the beds, which is 419 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 2: pretty standard. And then the British team was complaining about 420 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 2: the food that there wasn't enough eggs. But you know what, 421 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,919 Speaker 2: the all in all, I feel like this has been 422 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 2: a pretty good, pretty good showing for Olympic village. 423 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 1: I mean this is not new. I think who else 424 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 1: is less? Some South Korean swimmers, maybe some other Olympians 425 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: have left, but the US men's basketball team has never 426 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 1: stayed in the Olympic. 427 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 2: It makes a lot of sense that the four seasons 428 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 2: come on. 429 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,640 Speaker 1: Would you can't be six ft ten in a five 430 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 1: foot six bed? 431 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:18,160 Speaker 2: Very fair. 432 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,639 Speaker 1: They've stayed on luxury yachts before on the water. 433 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 2: So this is not good for them. 434 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,360 Speaker 1: But they like the expir always here. They love, love, 435 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 1: love athletes, being an Olympic village, just being able. 436 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 2: To when are you ever around you know, basically your 437 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,920 Speaker 2: equals in every other sport. It's just a cool thing 438 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 2: I can't even imagine. And it might be worth a 439 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 2: little less sleep, but not when a medal's on the line. 440 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,360 Speaker 2: I don't know. I feel like that's that's the distinction. 441 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 1: Right, Olympics once in a lifetimes is there. 442 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 2: But then again, she's really tiny. 443 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: But Cocoa is there in the world class. 444 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 2: That's true. 445 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: You know the other thing you talk about, the sochi, 446 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 1: the the other thing I remember about Athens. They had 447 00:22:55,640 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 1: little signs in the bathroom they said whatever you do 448 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,360 Speaker 1: do not if you are sitting on this toilet, if 449 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,439 Speaker 1: you wipe your butt, do not take that toilet paper 450 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 1: and put it in the toilet. They gave us special 451 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,919 Speaker 1: little tens where that's supposed to go. Now that's not 452 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: a surprise to some people who maybe live in other parties. 453 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 2: Plumbing issues in other countries. 454 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 1: Other parts of the world are But they had to 455 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 1: tell the Westerners, Hey, you nuts before you got it. 456 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 1: But yeah, that was enough. But it's just it was 457 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 1: so new and different of an experience. When you're a 458 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,159 Speaker 1: world class athlete, that's go metal on your mind. You 459 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: need a get night dressed. 460 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 2: I completely I think that is so fair. I think 461 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 2: that is so fair. 462 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 1: The other do you know your BMI robes, your body mask? 463 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 2: I used to know it at one point what it was. 464 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 2: In fact, I actually have a I have a scale 465 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 2: that tells me that it's yeah, I've got it scale. 466 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 1: Actually, yeah, I don't know it to be. 467 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 2: I don't know how accurate it is, but yeah, the 468 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,440 Speaker 2: Apple scales, when you stand on it, they will actually 469 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:05,440 Speaker 2: tell you what your BMI is. 470 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 1: Well, I don't know why, but the body mass index 471 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 1: of an American athlete, a superstar on the rugby team 472 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:17,120 Speaker 1: is now come up and become an issue. Alona mar 473 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: is her name, and you're gonna know her if you 474 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 1: don't know already. But she is certainly a social media 475 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 1: star and she does do a lot of stuff on 476 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 1: body positivity. But she's listed at five ten, five eleven, 477 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 1: and you see her she is a physical, athletic, strong specimen. 478 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 2: If she just is ever watched rugby, you can understand 479 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:36,879 Speaker 2: why that might come in handy. 480 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 1: Yes, she is a star and has been. She started 481 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,479 Speaker 1: in college. She's now been a star on the US 482 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 1: US team. Well, someone on social media decides that they 483 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,360 Speaker 1: want to challenge her on this for reasons I don't understand, 484 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:51,400 Speaker 1: and essentially robes they They sent a comment to her 485 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,679 Speaker 1: on her one of her pages saying, I bet that 486 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 1: you have a BMI a body mass index of thirty 487 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 1: and that was be an insult. 488 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 2: Right, and you know what, she took that and said, 489 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 2: you know what, I actually do have a BMI of thirty. Well, 490 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 2: it's twenty nine point three to be exact, and that's 491 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 2: how she began her video. And by the way, this 492 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,680 Speaker 2: video has been viewed more than over four million times, 493 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 2: liked by well over half a million people, but you 494 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 2: know what, she kind of just took it on. She's like, 495 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 2: I have been considered overweight my entire life. And she 496 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 2: talked about in high school where there was a time 497 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,399 Speaker 2: where she had to turn a physical into the office 498 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 2: and at the bottom of the page it said overweight, 499 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 2: and she said, her whole life, she's been this way. 500 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 2: But she just wanted to talk about how she is 501 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 2: proud of who she is. And she also said that 502 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,880 Speaker 2: this BMI thing, and we've heard this from scientists, from 503 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,359 Speaker 2: doctors who say it's not helpful, and it's certainly not 504 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 2: helpful for athletes because it basically, if you don't know what, 505 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:52,639 Speaker 2: a BMI is, a formula where a person's weight is 506 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,880 Speaker 2: divided by the square of their height, and so it's 507 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 2: just a way for doctors to measure what they consider 508 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 2: to be healthy. But obviously she is a world class 509 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 2: athlete and I love that she took this on and 510 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 2: certainly sort of the people who follow her and cheer 511 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 2: her on, and we will be sharing her on along 512 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 2: with her teammates today because they have a big, big, big, 513 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 2: huge historic game today. 514 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: You know, I don't know why we look at athletes, 515 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,400 Speaker 1: oh you know, looking up at a commercial. Right, we see 516 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 1: an American sprinter on the commercial, but we look at 517 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,919 Speaker 1: them and we're in awe of them physically. We have 518 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 1: an expectation of what they're supposed to look like physically, 519 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:33,960 Speaker 1: and we also have an expectation of what a man 520 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 1: is supposed to look like a woman is supposed to 521 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: look like. So this is a woman I suppose that 522 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 1: doesn't look like what the women this social media user 523 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 1: knows or looks at, or thinks or who knows what 524 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,880 Speaker 1: that person was doing. But it's okay for us now 525 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 1: to her response. Gives us a chance to have an 526 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: opportunity to have a conversation, especially about BEMI. How long 527 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 1: have we, for years been told by doctors on TV 528 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: they'll say one thing us on during the interview and 529 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 1: then behind sees, Yeah, I don't even know why we 530 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 1: use BMI anymore. 531 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:09,119 Speaker 2: It's true, It's true. So I am very excited to 532 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 2: cheer on the women's rugby team as we talk about 533 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 2: what we're going to be watching today, and that is 534 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 2: going to be first and foremost, because that starts this 535 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,199 Speaker 2: morning for anyone who is streaming it on Peacock at 536 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 2: nine to thirty. But This is so cool. This is 537 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 2: the first medal we could possibly win since rugby became 538 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 2: an Olympic sport, so that's pretty awesome. And it's the 539 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 2: first time that either the men's or the women's American 540 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:37,439 Speaker 2: rugby team has ever reached the semi final round at 541 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 2: the Olympics. So the problem is we're playing New Zealand, 542 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 2: and New Zealand is the defending champion, so this match 543 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 2: is not going to be an easy one. But we've 544 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:51,479 Speaker 2: looked really, really good and a lot of the experts 545 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,160 Speaker 2: they don't count Team USA out. We have a shot. 546 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:55,959 Speaker 1: And the reason we have a shot is because of 547 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 1: this woman that this guy decides he wants to or 548 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 1: he or she decides they want to insult on social media. 549 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,199 Speaker 1: She is a star and you know what, she is 550 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,120 Speaker 1: one of the biggest stars personality wise in the Olympics. 551 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 1: Does she puts together. She's doing a whole Love Island 552 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:14,479 Speaker 1: thing on TikTok about Olympic village like she's there, actually 553 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 1: too fine and hook up with somebody. It's hilarious. She's 554 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:19,879 Speaker 1: a great, great personality and great for the sport and 555 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 1: great for women and great for body positivity. So by 556 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:23,920 Speaker 1: allow me support if you get a chance. 557 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 2: That is exciting. Okay, Well, Jimmy's obviously women's gymnastics finals, duh. 558 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,879 Speaker 2: That starts it just after noon today, But obviously that 559 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 2: will be the primetime event this evening at NBC for 560 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 2: people who are at work and want to watch it, 561 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 2: that will be obviously the highlight of the evening. And 562 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 2: as we mentioned, Simone's calf seems to be okay, so 563 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 2: this is going to be exciting to watch. But you 564 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 2: know what, it's one of those things where when we 565 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 2: watch the men's it's almost as if because they had 566 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,720 Speaker 2: done so poorly, the expectations were lower, and so watching 567 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 2: them do well was just exciting and awesome. Now, when 568 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 2: you have basically the expectation of winning gold, I feel like, 569 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 2: in a weird way, the pressure is even I don't. 570 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 2: For me as a viewer, I'm more on the edge 571 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:09,719 Speaker 2: of my seat because we have so much to lose. 572 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: Oh no, I see, you know what, when I watch 573 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 1: US women play basketball, when I watch US women play soccer, 574 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 1: and when I watch US women compete in gymnastics, I'm. 575 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 2: So chill because we're pretty dang good. Of course they're 576 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:28,120 Speaker 2: gonna win that it's amazing. Well, let's hope that what happens, Well. 577 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 1: Only nerves were hope Simons. We just wanted Simone to 578 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 1: get that first event out of the way, and then 579 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 1: Brody Malone, we wanted him to have a decent comeback 580 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 1: and be okay, but they kept nailing it. Yeah, look 581 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 1: us men, you all deserve everything that's coming your way. 582 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:43,959 Speaker 1: You all came back and put on a show and 583 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 1: showed all of us a lesson in resilience and how 584 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 1: to bounce literally bounce back from fallowing the damn man. 585 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 2: And we know what you can see once you see 586 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 2: the first event, you see where they are mentally, and 587 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 2: then the momentum just carries good or bad. It just 588 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 2: you see how that all evolves. So, yes, that's going 589 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 2: to be the highlight of the day. But also men's soccer. 590 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 2: We are playing against Guinea at one pm, so we 591 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 2: will know later today whether or not the US is 592 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 2: going to the knockout round. I mean that is and 593 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 2: it's confusing what will happen if we don't win, because 594 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,880 Speaker 2: we still have a shot areas And I was laughing 595 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 2: at them and my head kind of like it's like 596 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 2: a mathematic equation that I couldn't possibly follow or understand. 597 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 2: But if we tie, we could still go. And if 598 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,680 Speaker 2: we lose, there's the scenario in which we could still go. 599 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 1: Right, we could win, lose or draw and move ahead 600 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 1: depending on what the other match the other teams if 601 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 1: they win, lose or draw and buy how many So 602 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 1: it gets complicated. Just know this soccer has a chance. 603 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:49,080 Speaker 1: The US men have a. 604 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 2: Chance, and definitely if you can catch it, you should 605 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 2: watch it. Also, swimming has been really fun. This is cool. 606 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 2: The women's one hundred meter backstrop final is this afternoon 607 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 2: and I'm assuming they'll put that in prime time as well. 608 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:05,479 Speaker 2: But the four fastest women in history are going to 609 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,959 Speaker 2: be competing against one another, so and two of them 610 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 2: are from the US, so Reagan Smith from US, Catherine 611 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 2: Berkoff from the United States, and then we've got Australia 612 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 2: and Canada. So this is going to be a really 613 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 2: fun one to watch it. Again, I love swimming because 614 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 2: it happens like that. You get results immediately, and. 615 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,120 Speaker 1: They better be glad they are inside because we were 616 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 1: complaining about I say we were complaining, but people were 617 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 1: complaining about the rain. They got so much rain the 618 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:32,840 Speaker 1: first Oh yeah, you saw the opening ceremony was a 619 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 1: drenched from start to finish. The rain continued the next day. 620 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,240 Speaker 1: Now they're about to get hit with a heat wave 621 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:43,479 Speaker 1: in France, the likes of ninety ninety five degrees over 622 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 1: the next couple of days. So throw that in the mix. Now, 623 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:48,600 Speaker 1: which one do you want? Can we have an in between? 624 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,240 Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean, oh, I would rather have the rain. 625 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 2: I mean, oh my goodness. We were in Rome when 626 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 2: it was about that heat two weeks ago or so, 627 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 2: and you loved it and I was melting. And as 628 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 2: an athlete, I guess maybe you would take it either way. 629 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 2: But I think about like the marathon ers when it's 630 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,880 Speaker 2: that hot, Oh my gosh, I mean that in Tokyo. 631 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 2: They actually it's so hot in Tokyo, and I was 632 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 2: training for my marathon while they were running it. I 633 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:15,240 Speaker 2: had to get up at four am to run because 634 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,520 Speaker 2: they got so hot. And even still I got heat stroke. 635 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 2: I cannot imagine what those folks are going to go 636 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 2: through track and field. Think about that when they're going 637 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 2: through this heat wave. I think that starts in a 638 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 2: couple days. Yeah, but still, if you know how if 639 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:33,080 Speaker 2: they've got that kind of weather, that is game changing 640 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,720 Speaker 2: in every way, so there's still a lot to be 641 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 2: seen on that, but also just quickly, I think we've 642 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 2: got women's fencing, men's water polo Us versus Romania that's 643 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,160 Speaker 2: later today, so there's so much to watch. This has 644 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 2: been so much fun. I don't think I've ever sat 645 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 2: in the couch so much in my life, but I've 646 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 2: enjoyed every second of it. 647 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 1: Well, I've appreciated sitting next to you on the couch 648 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:57,920 Speaker 1: a little one, and folks keep checking in with her. 649 00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:01,320 Speaker 2: Us here for the t from Perry 650 00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:02,720 Speaker 1: Again, we're not married to that name.
