WEBVTT - Tea from Paris: Day Four 0:00:02.240 --> 0:00:05.240 The official Olympic medal counts as we start this Tuesday, 0:00:05.360 --> 0:00:08.400 July thirtieth. The United States is on top of twenty 0:00:08.760 --> 0:00:12.440 total medals once so far, followed by home country France 0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:17.000 with sixteen total medals. Both Japan and China have twelve each. 0:00:17.720 --> 0:00:21.200 Welcome to this edition of the Tea from Perry. While 0:00:21.200 --> 0:00:24.520 Team USA is ahead in the overall medal count, day 0:00:24.600 --> 0:00:28.240 lag behind in the gold medal category. The US has 0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:31.080 won three gold medals so far, but you see Japan 0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:35.520 has six, France, China, South Korea Australia each have five 0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:37.479 gold medals, so we're behind in that department. 0:00:37.520 --> 0:00:41.240 Well, my understanding is that bronze is not as good 0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:44.800 as gold, but you could a fool me. After watching 0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:50.360 the US men's gymnastics team end their Olympics medal drought, 0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:52.320 and they did it in the most story book of ways. 0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:55.720 It was so incredible, all right. Also in this episode, 0:00:55.880 --> 0:00:58.880 after an injury scare, Simone Biles says she is good 0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:01.760 to go for gold with her team today. And then 0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:05.720 an American swimmer wins a medal and his wife immediately 0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:08.600 turns his win into a gender reveal party in the 0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:13.280 aquatic center, and we might have seen Nadal versus Djokovic 0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:15.800 for the last time ever. 0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:19.080 Plus dirty river water has caused the postponement of an 0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:22.800 Olympic event. Coco golf has been left home alone at 0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:26.479 Olympic Village. US women's basketball team had a close first game. 0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:29.360 It is close for about five minutes and what social 0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:33.119 media user thought it was a good idea to take 0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:38.800 on American rugby star Elona mar Good luck with that, 0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:42.679 and yes, everybody, but we all robes. We learned a 0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:47.560 lesson yesterday in life from the US men's gymnastics team. 0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:49.800 I think everybody maybe has gotten the word by now 0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:53.000 that they picked up that medal, But if you had 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:56.360 to watch them for two days to understand why a 0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:58.600 bronze victory meant as much as it did. 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:02.680 It was from remarkable to see the redemption. And it 0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:07.200 truly was an incredible redemption because in the qualifying round 0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:13.480 we saw all five men do not their best and 0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:17.080 it was it was devastating. None of them qualified for 0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:23.959 a finals event specifically, and the big, big devastating moment 0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:28.880 was Brody. You know, everyone expected him to go on 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:31.200 to compete in the all around and he fell off 0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:33.600 the high bar and from that point on. He just 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:36.720 as you mentioned in a previous podcast, there was a 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:41.520 downward spiral and he just couldn't get it together. Well, 0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:45.040 guess what, he got it together along with his teammates yesterday, 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:48.880 and it was emotional. It was amazing. We were watching 0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:53.240 with your daughter, Savine, and it was remarkable to see 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:57.960 them come back and score higher than they had ever 0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:01.920 scored before, certainly a way of the qualifying round, and 0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:04.960 they delivered, and it was remarkable to watch. 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:07.799 Well, we were rooting for them in a different type 0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:10.760 of way. I've been reading afterwards and folks don't know, 0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:13.799 the US men's gynastics team has not won a gold medal, 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:16.440 excuse me, a medal at all in the Olympics in 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:19.600 two thousand and eight, so that's a sixteen year drought there. 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:23.480 Coming into this Olympics, there were certainly high hopes for 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:26.160 this team, maybe more so on an individual level, but 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:28.919 certainly they can compete. To see them break down the 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:31.399 way they did on Monday and then to come back 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:35.600 on Tuesday, some argue robes that, yeah, they have only 0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:38.520 one person on the team has any previous Olympic experience. 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:40.320 I believe that's Brody Malone. So you got a bunch 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:42.640 of young guys first day at the Olympics. Maybe they 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:44.320 were a little jitterary, maybe they were a little off 0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:46.560 where there were some nerves, but they got it together 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:49.160 whatever they did and talked about and they came out 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:52.520 and performed. You're gonna see a lot of talk about 0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:55.440 the dude with the glasses on the Palmer horse. And yes, 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:59.400 it was a wonderful Olympic moment. Ropes, we're going to 0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:02.320 talk about that Olympic moment. But to get to that 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:07.400 Olympic moment, and you and I watched every single flip, turn, twist, vault, 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:10.520 everything that team did, and they nailed it and nailed 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:13.280 it and nailed it, and you could feel the momentum like, 0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:15.280 wait a minute, why aren't we talking about these guys 0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:18.640 winning gold instead of possibly fighting for a bronze. That 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:22.200 team did everything possible to make that huge Olympic moment possible. 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:25.719 That's right. And when you ask why they weren't even 0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:27.760 up for gold or silver were all you had to 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:32.480 do was watch Japan and China because they were powerhouses 0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:35.560 and what was a really incredible moment to me, we 0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:39.120 were all watching together to see when China realized they 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:41.160 weren't getting the gold, and they were the darlings, they 0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:43.520 were the favorites, but they had some mistakes in the end. Again, 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:46.840 that high bar was getting everybody in men's gymnastics, and 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:50.960 so they underperformed, they didn't deliver it, and Japan won gold. 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:54.000 So obviously the Japanese team which deserved it. They were 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:59.560 phenomenal and almost flawless. They were celebrating the United States 0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:02.839 team to get the bronze because they were competing against Australia, 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:05.000 Great Britain. I mean, there were so many people vying 0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:09.440 for that third place bronze medal, and so they were 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:12.760 a static and then you saw China and they were defeated. 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:17.640 They were almost crying and they were clearly upset. And 0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:21.760 Sabine said, why is China so upset at winning the silver? 0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:24.800 And why are we so excited at winning the bronze? 0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:28.520 And that was such an amazing example of perspective. You know, 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:30.400 we fought for it, we didn't think we were going 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:32.680 to get it. We had such a low moment as 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:35.520 a team in the preliminaries that it was so sweet. 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:37.920 The victory was so incredible to win bronze and then 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:41.560 to see the Chinese not being able to celebrate silver 0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:43.320 was kind of remarkable. 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:47.120 And you said, perspective there it was. They kept cutting 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:49.120 back and forth between those two images, and it's just 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:53.200 such another example of an Olympic moment and the things 0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:56.320 you don't see. To see a team that finished ahead 0:05:56.600 --> 0:06:00.400 of the US almost in tears, yep, that there's second, 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:04.280 and to see the United States just the elation and 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:05.839 you say his name, I don't want to mess up 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:06.640 his name, ned. 0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:10.640 It's it's Stephenazak, all right, Stephen Netarozak. 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:13.400 You've seen him, and I'm happy for him in this 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:15.320 moment for a lot of reasons. One of them is 0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:17.160 a lot of people didn't think he should be on 0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:19.520 this team in the first place, because the dude does 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:22.559 one thing. He has one skill. He helps this team 0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:25.960 in no other way at all. If you blow it 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:28.200 on the place, it's like a kicker in football. 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:29.120 That's a good way to look at it. 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:32.160 You sit on the bench all game and then Tom 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:34.520 Brady drives you down and says, hey, you need to 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:37.719 make this fifty yarder to win this Super Bowl for me. 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:41.800 That's your job. His job was this, and it came 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:44.560 down it was silly to me, Robes. It was silly. No, no, no, 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:47.840 I say silly, and that me being wrong. Initially, when 0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:51.120 the meat started and the US team walked out, they 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:56.440 had a countdown clock on Netarozak, well like three hours. 0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:58.800 They say a countdown from three hours. We're not going 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:00.279 to see him for three hours, Like why why are 0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:01.400 they building this up like this? 0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:04.120 It was brilliant, It was amazing. The Wall Street Journal's 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:07.400 headline is the pommel horse geek who broke the US 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:10.720 men's gymnastics medal drought. I mean that he is. He 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:12.720 has become the star, and you're right, that's such a 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:14.880 good analogy. I also was thinking of being a goalkeeper. 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:17.160 It's like you weren't needed until you're needed, but when 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:21.400 you're needed, it is the most unbelievable pressure. I was 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:24.440 sweating it for this guy. I couldn't believe that somebody 0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:26.960 could take on that much pressure because it was up 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:30.640 to him to seal the metal and he delivered. 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:32.520 And it's not fair in a lot of ways. Yet 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:36.280 he should get the accolades he's getting now because not okay, 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:38.600 he never would have been put in that position if 0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:43.360 his team wasn't sticking landing after landing, after landing, all right, 0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:47.120 So you in this team event, there are six events, right, 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:50.240 in the six events, six events, and three go yep 0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:55.840 from each, So that's essentially eighteen routines. Seventeen routines went 0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:59.520 damn well for him to do the eighteenth. That is 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:04.240 precise icly what happened. Now, granted, seventeen other things had 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:06.680 to go right, but still the pressure on him to 0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:09.320 get the last one right was unbelievable. 0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:12.600 It was. It was so fun to watch. I definitely 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:15.240 had tears in my eyes just because we saw from 0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:17.680 where they came and what they ended up accomplishing, and 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:20.600 it was remarkable. So that was by far my favorite 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:23.680 Olympic moment of the day, but there were so many, 0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:27.280 so many that we enjoyed. It's just been a blast 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:28.640 watching these athletes perform. 0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:30.280 You know, I'm gonna give you a random one. This 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:32.560 wasn't even on the list, but this morning I saw 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:34.560 I was up. Of course at three thirty, of course 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:42.600 you were watching. I watched the mixed doubles ten meter 0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:47.439 air pistol final. Oh my god, okay, wow, I watched it. 0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:54.319 This was between Serbia and Turkey. A okay, okay. It 0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:58.040 was the most boring thing I have seen in the Olympics. 0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:00.520 That is how I start, because if you all aren't 0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:03.600 familiar with this air pistol, you don't see them. Actually, 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:04.800 you don't see anything come out of the door. 0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:06.200 Don't think most people are familiar. 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:08.120 You're right, so you don't see it. You see her here, 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:10.760 I see a pistol. They fire it. But if you're 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:13.200 not looking really closely, you see missed a little puff 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:15.560 of air. It's like nothing. And then the targets on 0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:19.680 the screen, but nothing explodes or a hole goes through something. 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:23.120 You just see a little electronic dot show up. That's 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:24.439 watching TV. 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:26.839 And this kept you awake at three point thirty in 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:29.559 the morning. It came down to the last match, the 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:30.640 last round. 0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:32.160 It was so thrilling. 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:35.320 It came out on the edge. 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:35.640 Of my set. 0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:37.719 I can't believe I missed it while sleeping wat to 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:38.360 see what I. 0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:41.520 Thought was this boring thing that I was on the 0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:44.400 edge of my seat. And then when Serbia Wan, these 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:46.520 were friends who had been doing this for twenty years, 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:50.240 never got the Olympic gold. They win. She tackles him 0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:53.120 and they're rolling around on the ground. That's Olympics. And 0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:55.280 that's what I saw this morning, and you should be 0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:56.480 sorry that you missed it. 0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:59.520 You know what, Sleep, This is the perfect, perfect two 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:01.680 weeks for you. You because you get up at three 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:04.080 every day regardless, and now you don't have to miss 0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:06.439 any of the Olympic action. I mean, that's just amazing 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:06.720 for you. 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:09.240 But you missed. Those are the little moments that you're 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:11.959 never going to see in primetime on NBC that if 0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:13.720 you mess around in peacock a. 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:25.839 Little while al somni acts everywhere are celebrating. 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:30.079 I am so excited about today. Just we have to 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:34.520 talk about the US women's gymnastics team, because wow, they 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:37.920 had the opposite of what the men had in the preliminaries. 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:41.240 They were incredible and they're going to go for gold today. 0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:46.319 They finished first in qualifying and Simone Biles is scheduled 0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:49.000 to compete with her team. Despite that calf issue that 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:51.600 had her limping around during the qualifying. She says she's 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:53.800 as good as she can be and she is going 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:57.040 to compete in all four events at the team finals. 0:10:57.040 --> 0:10:58.880 And you know, we had to even kind of brush 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:03.559 up the scoring works. So the teams enter three athletes 0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:07.480 on each event. There are four events in women's gymnastics, 0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:10.079 so all of those scores will count toward the final 0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:12.440 team score. They don't get to drop a score. And 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:15.560 Simone's going to go last on the floor exercise, on 0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:17.560 the vault, and on the balance beam for the US, 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:21.080 and she'll go second for the US on uneven bars. 0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:23.400 I can't be the only one that didn't understand as 0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:26.439 the scoring was going on. I was because we watched qualifying, 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:29.600 so in there and qualifying someone that you can drop 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:32.080 one score and who gets to everybody goes and then 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:34.360 only three you get to. It was very confusing trying 0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:36.920 to keep up with this, and I kept asking you questions. 0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:38.600 You know, you're the gymnast in the house. 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:42.120 Rules have changed, but yes, and I never was in 0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:43.840 the Olympics or anywhere close to that. 0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:47.840 But h Simone today is going to have a particular 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:50.840 fan in the stands that she hasn't had yet at 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:53.120 these Olympics. Her husband is going to make his way 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:56.360 over Jonathan Owens. He's think I think he got Lee 0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:57.560 from the Chicago Bears. 0:11:57.600 --> 0:12:00.520 Yeah, he's taking your break from training camp, Yeah. 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:02.440 To come to port her. And good for them to 0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:04.840 allow it or whatever. Maybe it was a no brainer, 0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:06.600 but I'm glad to see he's going to be there. 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:10.440 Jonathan Owens is his name, So that continues looking forward 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:13.880 to that today. Also more swimming today, but a heck 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:18.040 of a scene from the pool yesterday, not just because 0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:22.559 of medal being won, but Ryan Murphy, a highly decorated 0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:27.040 American athlete. He got a bronze medal and he got 0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:31.840 a baby update within moments of each other. He had 0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:35.880 just done the one hundred meter backstroke, got a bronze medal. 0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:39.280 But not long after they put that metal around his neck, 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:41.559 he looked in the stands and his wife was holding 0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:43.640 a sign. What did that sign say? 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:47.520 Ropes, Ryan, It's a girl and I love it. He said, well, 0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:49.360 that was a great way to find out. That really 0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:51.600 lit me up and brought the night to a whole 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:54.440 other level. It's really exciting to learn that I'm going 0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:57.160 to be a girl, dad, and to learn it when 0:12:57.160 --> 0:12:59.640 you're coming off the podium with a bronze medal around 0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:02.120 your neck is pretty remarkable. Although that heat, I have 0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:06.000 to say that final it was unreal. Like he we 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:08.840 thought he was gonna win. I mean, you couldn't. It 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:12.800 was just unreal how closely those three on the podium 0:13:12.800 --> 0:13:15.720 were to one another. By the naked eye, you could 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:17.440 never see who won. I could not tell. 0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:20.000 I said, if I'd have lost that race by that margin, 0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:22.599 I would have issued an official protest. Yeah, like, no, 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:24.079 I need you all to go back and check. That's 0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:24.600 too close. 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:25.200 It was crazy. 0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:27.240 I cann't be that close. But congrats to him. We've 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:29.160 seen some cool scenes like that every once in a while. 0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:31.480 Once in a while at the Olympics, they turned these 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:35.360 into life moments. I think there was an engagement that's 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:39.520 taken place already. You have this baby news, the guy 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:42.800 lost his ring in the river. Yea. So life and 0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:44.480 relationships are going many directions. 0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:47.040 You know what, though, you in these moments, when it 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:48.800 all comes to a head and you're out there, you 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:51.400 realize what's important. And I think that's pretty is the 0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:53.959 human side of these athletes. They're all living their lives 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:56.120 as well at the same time. So it's it's awesome 0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:57.920 when they share a little bit of that with us. 0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:01.199 And we need to certainlyppreciate what they've shared with us. 0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:03.880 But we need to appreciate these two guys, Rafa, Nadal 0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:09.280 and Novak Djokovic and no Nadal versus Djokovic. We have 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:13.120 seen this match up sixty times and we might never 0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:16.880 see it again. These two robes ended up in an 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:20.800 early round playing each other at the Olympics. One of 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:23.280 them had to go. But the biggest issue really is 0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:25.000 this might be the last time we get to see 0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:25.400 these two. 0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:29.960 Yeah, and Nadal's retirement rumors have swirled for quite some time, 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:34.360 but he did not appreciate them after this match. I 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:37.120 want to quote him here because he you know, look, 0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:39.040 it's got to be tough. It was a tough loss 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:43.040 for him with a very big rival, obviously, but he said, 0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:45.400 I cannot live every single day with the feeling that 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:47.400 it's going to be or not going to be my 0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:50.760 last match. I come here, I try my best, I play, 0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:53.240 and when I decide to stop playing, or when I 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:56.160 decide to keep going, I will let you know. I 0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:57.960 don't know that's fair. 0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:01.880 He just lost. No matter what, you mad, every time 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:04.400 you lose a match, correct, And so I gotta hear 0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:06.000 this again and hear this again, and hear this again. 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:10.320 But these guys are what forty six Grand Slams between them. 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:14.320 Novak all time with twenty four and of course the 0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:16.880 doll has twenty two. But the funny thing is so 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:18.640 often we think about the all time greats and who 0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:21.320 we love in tennis. Recently we talk about Federer. Federer 0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:24.640 has twenty. These guys were the youngins, kind of chasing 0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:27.200 him or competing with him, and now they've surpassed him. 0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:30.680 These are the guys. And to think that these two have, 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:33.280 I mean, how many decades now we've been watching these guys. 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:35.520 We might never see it again. We should stop and 0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:36.000 appreciate it. 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:39.000 We should, and it was a moment to watch. Well. 0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:42.920 I know that the Parisian officials are watching something very closely. 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:47.240 The river Senn Right now it remains too dirty to 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:50.920 swim in. In fact, they've had to postpone once again 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:54.320 the men's triathlon. It was supposed to start today. Now 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:57.040 it's at least until tomorrow. The women are supposed to 0:15:57.080 --> 0:16:00.320 swim tomorrow. So they say that if the river sen 0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:05.720 is clean enough, they'll swim after the women. But this 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:08.160 this is a tough story. It's not surprising with all 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:10.160 of the rain they've had. And they I keep crossing 0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:12.200 their fingers. I think they said, it's like late at 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:15.440 night when Paris is sleeping. Officials go out and test 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:18.320 the water, and so far it's not been so good. 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:22.120 But I have I have found it very interesting about 0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:24.880 what some of these athletes, these triathletes who have been 0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:26.960 waiting to swim, they haven't even been able to train, 0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:29.720 by the way, the last two days they haven't been 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:31.440 able to train. That's got to be really tough. But 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:34.360 I was reading up on what they have to do 0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:37.920 when they swim and open bodies of water. These aren't 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:41.600 chlorinated pools, obviously, but it's kind of gross. They literally 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:47.040 talk about eating yogurt, taking probiotics, having to disinfect their 0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:50.440 wet suits when they get backed so that they prevent illness. 0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:52.920 Because we're talking about levels of not to be totally 0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:56.680 gross here, but E coli. And that is pretty disgusting 0:16:56.760 --> 0:16:59.200 if you think about it. But they're used to this, 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:01.760 and they've said, hey, we'll swim in anything to get 0:17:01.760 --> 0:17:03.880 a medal. They're ready to go, and I was just 0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:07.600 I guess, this isn't that big of a deal for them, but. 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:08.920 It has to be a big deal for the people 0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:11.240 responsible for the safety of the athletes, I guess. And yes, 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:13.199 every single swimmer you tell them we're going today, they 0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:15.400 will go out there and they will swim, but they've 0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:17.760 been working. I guess it's really nothing you can do. 0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:20.880 You can't exactly just drop a few chlorine tablets into 0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:23.000 the river sind and think it's going to be good 0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:26.560 to go. So the options were to start postponing and 0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:29.960 if they have to, they would take the triathlon athlon 0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:33.479 down and not do the swimming portion, just do the running. 0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:36.080 What do you do, right? 0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:37.960 But if swimming is your strongest. 0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:42.960 Right, they have a plan to postpone it to August first, 0:17:43.560 --> 0:17:45.760 at least for now, and then I guess they'll just 0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:48.360 keep kicking the can down the road. 0:17:48.560 --> 0:18:00.880 That sucks. That's us, shall see. You've heard a lot 0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:06.399 about Olympic Village really over the years, and you hear 0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:09.080 a lot of athletes talk so well, so how wonderful 0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:10.840 of an experience it is to be able to be 0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:13.720 in there. And this is exclusive and you remember this, 0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:15.040 This was I don't know if you've ever been in 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:19.080 it Olympic Village, but they were very very strict about 0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:21.760 letting anybody in there. They want to keep it. This 0:18:21.920 --> 0:18:25.040 is strictly for the athletes. And that is where the 0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:29.359 American tennis team has been staying along with American tennis 0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:32.520 star co col Golf. Well co Co Golf has now 0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:39.240 been left home alone at Olympic Village by her teammates Robes, no, 0:18:39.280 --> 0:18:43.080 not several of them. All her teammates apparently have bounced 0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:47.159 left Olympic Village. That of course the living area and 0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:49.880 the eating area, this is just the spot. But they 0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:50.600 are out of there. 0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:53.560 Yes, they said that the beds were too tough, they 0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:57.080 couldn't sleep and they needed their sleep in order to win. 0:18:57.359 --> 0:19:00.480 So they have all gone to some posher hotels. But 0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:03.719 Cocoa Goff is staying in because she said she's just 0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:08.520 drinking in the Olympic experience and being able to, you know, 0:19:09.119 --> 0:19:13.399 bounce into Simone Biles or she had a lovely meal 0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:17.200 with American sprinter Noah Lyles. She was apparently by herself 0:19:17.280 --> 0:19:21.120 because again she's all alone. Her teammates have gone to hotels, 0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:24.120 and she said she got to have a meal with Lyles, 0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:27.159 who told her you got this and at the end 0:19:27.200 --> 0:19:29.000 of the day, you've just got to be you. And 0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:32.480 Goff said that just having that conversation with him flipped 0:19:32.520 --> 0:19:34.520 a switch for her. So just being able to have 0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:39.280 these exciting conversations with the greats of all of these 0:19:39.280 --> 0:19:43.560 different sports has given her, she said, just an extra 0:19:43.680 --> 0:19:48.840 ophen in her excitement and confidence going forward in her competition. 0:19:48.960 --> 0:19:51.160 You heard people they've been lost up on social media 0:19:51.160 --> 0:19:54.679 and reporting about these The living conditions. Now, I remember 0:19:55.119 --> 0:19:59.119 the Olympics in Athens at least, where Athens had to 0:20:00.240 --> 0:20:05.120 essentially construct all these new places. Some cities have infrastruction place, 0:20:05.160 --> 0:20:07.760 but a place like Athens had to build like just 0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:11.360 these makeshift quarters, these dormitories and whatnot. And I remember 0:20:11.400 --> 0:20:15.080 mine was it's tiny. The water doesn't the hot water 0:20:15.040 --> 0:20:17.200 you're gonna get it this morning, don't know how much 0:20:17.280 --> 0:20:19.840 is it gonna flow, don't know that toilet is not flushing. 0:20:20.000 --> 0:20:23.560 Good luck. Tiny, it's just a brand Imagine a tiny, tiny, 0:20:23.600 --> 0:20:26.439 brand new walk in closet. Is what it looks like 0:20:26.440 --> 0:20:29.600 that somebody just slid a mattress into it and slid 0:20:29.600 --> 0:20:32.800 a chair into that is what the best athletes in 0:20:32.840 --> 0:20:35.800 the world. Those aren't good living conditions and the beds 0:20:35.800 --> 0:20:39.800 are really short, so they are legitimate complaints quote unquote 0:20:39.840 --> 0:20:42.760 if you will about it, especially when world class athletes 0:20:42.800 --> 0:20:46.760 are used to having world class facilities, including world class 0:20:46.800 --> 0:20:47.399
