Speaker 1: Ring, Rang, Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring Ring.
Speaker 2: Oh no, I said six. Well, that is so messed
Speaker 2: up of me.
Speaker 1: On the night of my son's wedding on the night
Speaker 1: before the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics in twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: Four, I've completely blown it. I said six rings when
Speaker 2: this is famously two guys, five rings.
Speaker 1: Let's take it again, Yeah, let's take it again.
Speaker 2: Reddy ring Ring Ring Ring Lang. Way, I have the yips.
Speaker 1: You've got the yips. But I think maybe you are
Speaker 1: just just answer the question odds or evens?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, oh Evans. I think I'm even.
Speaker 1: Said, there you go, and are you odds? You know,
Speaker 1: in my past I would have said evans, but in
Speaker 1: my maturity, I would say odds. And I think you're
Speaker 1: an evens guy. And so that's why you said it
Speaker 1: six times in five.
Speaker 2: I mean, I have one number to two down my
Speaker 2: body and it is an even number, even number, So
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. I feel like I feel
Speaker 2: like I am very attracted to things that divide.
Speaker 1: Cleanly, and I like something that has a center.
Speaker 2: You love mess, I love mess. You love it's challengers coded,
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, it's challengers coded one two, three you, Brittany,
Speaker 2: not only you and me. Honestly, you know who's in
Speaker 2: my camp fiance famous even numbered queen for for what else?
Speaker 2: Eight eight? Because she ate that? Well, I guess, I guess, yes, exactly,
Speaker 2: that's exactly how it meant it.
Speaker 1: What did you mean?
Speaker 2: Well, remember at the end of Get My Body, she
Speaker 2: goes nine four eight one b DA, And I was
Speaker 2: going to sort of use that as an example, but
Speaker 2: there's actually equal part even and odd numbers in that,
Speaker 2: so it would not be the case.
Speaker 1: So then that, no, it does help your case because
Speaker 1: she didn't even number of both. Oh wow, interesting, See
Speaker 1: this is what I'm saying. You think about things from
Speaker 1: a way that would suggest you have a greater mind
Speaker 1: than the rest of a beautiful mind, even like Russell Crowe. Oh,
Speaker 1: let's hope not because that man was troubled.
Speaker 2: Are you doing the soundtrack of a beautiful mind?
Speaker 1: And it's really ingrained? Because you know, what was my
Speaker 1: first starring role? What my sister in the eighth grade
Speaker 1: made a film quote unquote from her clack. I don't
Speaker 1: know she was, she was just she made. She made
Speaker 1: She was a filmmaker. She wrote a film that was
Speaker 1: kind of like a beautiful Mind meets the miracle Worker.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: But it was called an Unbeautiful Mind, and I played
Speaker 1: a very troubled child. And there was like an Anne
Speaker 1: Bancroft kind of like person who came in played by
Speaker 1: Rachel Pontius, one of my sister's friends. Uh huh. And
Speaker 1: it was just this whole like there was a scene
Speaker 1: where I ate cereal without a spoon.
Speaker 2: That's so troubled.
Speaker 1: It was very It was a very tough role.
Speaker 2: You clearly were disturbed. Did you throw yourself into it?
Speaker 2: Were you method? Were you being a rascal? I was?
Speaker 1: I mean that that was a whole day shoot. And
Speaker 1: I really I didn't know what first team second team was, like,
Speaker 1: I really did. I did not even really know what
Speaker 1: you were doing. I mean, you never know how to
Speaker 1: perform your show up in either it's like crackling or
Speaker 1: it's not. And it sounds like your performance was crackling.
Speaker 1: And we clearly know that you would go on to
Speaker 1: develop your talent so that audiences worldwide could share in it.
Speaker 1: And girl, I'm sorry, are you talking about your own trajectory,
Speaker 1: because I think you've done exactly the same.
Speaker 2: I don't like this thing or I don't. It's not
Speaker 2: that I don't like it. I don't want you to
Speaker 2: feel the need to, but I feel I don't like
Speaker 2: this is your moment. I don't feel.
Speaker 1: Anything except the equivalent sentiment. You know how I feel
Speaker 1: about you and your work and the way you show
Speaker 1: up and show out every day. You are one of
Speaker 1: the great talents.
Speaker 2: Thank you for saying this. It moves me. I want
Speaker 2: to know. So you are someone who did a lot
Speaker 2: of home videos as a kid. You yang, you got
Speaker 2: you got to it?
Speaker 1: Not really? Well, God, yeah, my away message on aim
Speaker 1: for a little bit after I had like developed a
Speaker 1: sort of filmography as it were, at school, I announced
Speaker 1: to be a way message that I was working on
Speaker 1: a film called Varsity Chicks that was going to be
Speaker 1: about cheerleaders, and I like designed the fonts and like,
Speaker 1: I like, I like really graphic design.
Speaker 2: This this is this is a huge tip to what
Speaker 2: you would become.
Speaker 1: Well, it was like, it's so my thing now my
Speaker 1: bag now, which is to publicize and announce the project
Speaker 1: that I'm doing and then never follow through on it.
Speaker 2: I can't remember the last time that that happened with you.
Speaker 2: I think that you're now that's where you again, you're
Speaker 2: casting aspersion on this narrative when they're be any. Every
Speaker 2: time we've announced something, it has come to fruish. We've
Speaker 2: never canceled the show, I.
Speaker 1: Know, but I've like I've canceled like my screenplay ideas.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, well that's just private. I mean we all
Speaker 2: do that, I know.
Speaker 1: Still I feel a little something. I'm like, oh, man,
Speaker 1: I didn't I didn't do that.
Speaker 2: We can't talk about this, but in terms of the
Speaker 2: stuff that has materialized, like I wonder, like, do you
Speaker 2: ever have you rewatched any of the videos that you
Speaker 2: did as a kid, and do you ever think, wow,
Speaker 2: my tour?
Speaker 1: No, I have no interest. Oh my god, I have
Speaker 1: like really put that away.
Speaker 2: There's one video that we did when we were kids.
Speaker 2: By the way, this is a her getting back to
Speaker 2: the last episode. I did recreate the entire music video
Speaker 2: to behind Me Seselies with my cousin Michael. I was
Speaker 2: the star and he was the director. And yes, I
Speaker 2: did run through a sprinkler and throw myself in the pool.
Speaker 1: At the end.
Speaker 2: Okay, now, okay, it's true. It's true. The rumors are
Speaker 2: out there. The like sympathy is a knife, like everyone
Speaker 2: is trying to get me like it's true. Okay, I'll
Speaker 2: come out and say it. I did that, you did that,
Speaker 2: But that is not the one I'm talking about. We
Speaker 2: did a short film called The Spy You and Michael, Yeah, well,
Speaker 2: I have to show you. It's what I have to
Speaker 2: find it it is and Chelsea's in it too, my
Speaker 2: little sister. But I have a scene where I talk
Speaker 2: on the phone to someone off screen. I talk on
Speaker 2: the phone some of the most natural talking on the
Speaker 2: phone and high intensity and like it was. I watched it.
Speaker 2: I remember watching it with all my aunts and my
Speaker 2: Aunta Laine turned to my aunt Laurie and said, he's
Speaker 2: actually good.
Speaker 1: Ah, I'm sure.
Speaker 2: It was the first time I realized I had something
Speaker 2: I could have been in twenty four. I wanted to
Speaker 2: be on the show twenty four so bad. That was
Speaker 2: what informed the Spy film. I wanted to keep. For
Speaker 2: Sutherland to get me in a choke cold, throw me
Speaker 2: up against the wall and scream wherrishy. I wanted that
Speaker 2: more than and for me to respond, oh, I don't know,
Speaker 2: and then him like choked me hard and be like
Speaker 2: eh it Like Mikhael took her, but you'll be too late.
Speaker 2: And then I take a cyanide pill and die and
Speaker 2: they cut to their commercial like, dun't dun, doun't dun,
Speaker 2: dun't dun, and you never see me again.
Speaker 1: Let's start the campaign. That's what I wanted more than anything,
Speaker 1: and I think part of you still wants it.
Speaker 2: So bad. I want to be a morally compromised character
Speaker 2: that Kei for Sutherland, screams at and physically intimidates in
Speaker 2: such a major way.
Speaker 1: But the phone call is giving me like Liam Neeson vibes,
Speaker 1: maybe Jason Statham like like just really.
Speaker 3: Oh oh wow, hell, yes, yes, got it, thank you, I.
Speaker 2: Just did it. And podcasts are individual medium.
Speaker 1: But that was okay. So now I got three things.
Speaker 1: It's Liam Neeson, Jason Statham, Sandra owned the Princess Diaries.
Speaker 1: Got mm hm m hm. The Queen is coming to
Speaker 1: govis coming.
Speaker 2: She's should have been a nomination.
Speaker 1: Also, I think that what you're describing in the twenty
Speaker 1: four fantasy for yourself, it reminds me of that one
Speaker 1: guy who made a meal out of two or three
Speaker 1: lines in Charlie's Angels, the first movie, the guy who
Speaker 1: tries to kill Cameron Diaz at the club, at the
Speaker 1: Soul Training Club. Mm hmmm, and she like hasn't hasn't
Speaker 1: is choking him with her heel yep, who sent you?
Speaker 2: What? Who? Vivian Wood, bitch?
Speaker 1: And then she like Roundhouse kicks him, but he slayd
Speaker 1: his lines.
Speaker 2: Killed it. Vivian Wood.
Speaker 1: It spits out class.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, what a great film, just the best,
Speaker 2: the best. I really like talking about these early filming
Speaker 2: experiences because you almost could say, Bo that these were
Speaker 2: in terms of our artistic lives. And that's how we
Speaker 2: bring it back to Paris. And we always bring it
Speaker 2: back to Paris on this podcast, even if we only
Speaker 2: stay on Paris at that point for about three minutes,
Speaker 2: but we always bring it back.
Speaker 1: But we always bring it back. So now we're past
Speaker 1: the two guys portion of the podcast. We are firmly
Speaker 1: in five Rings territory. When we come back, we are
Speaker 1: talking all about the Paris Opening ceremonies and opening ceremonies.
Speaker 2: Of old, and we're back Bo. It's tightly held secret
Speaker 2: what's going to happen tomorrow at the opening ceremonies. Literally,
Speaker 2: even our trust that NBC researchers and people behind the curtain.
Speaker 2: Yes we have them. They could not tell us a thing.
Speaker 2: I don't even know if they know. So maybe we
Speaker 2: make some educated guesses about what's in store, like what
Speaker 2: do you think thinking? What do you want to see
Speaker 2: light Paris up on opening night?
Speaker 1: I well as what we do know is that it
Speaker 1: will be outside. It will not be limited to a stadium,
Speaker 1: it will be along the send. I'm hoping that we
Speaker 1: get much like the nineteen eighty nine Oscars produced by
Speaker 1: Alan Carr, in which snow White shows up out of
Speaker 1: nowhere for no reason. I want Bell, for good reason,
Speaker 1: to show up and think about how provincial of the
Speaker 1: life she has. There must be more of this provincial life.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would love Bell to sort of kick off
Speaker 2: the ceremony with something that's really about France, which is
Speaker 2: getting in the beast of that song, that provincial life.
Speaker 2: Bringing that to the large stage of the Olympics, I
Speaker 2: think would unite those across political boundaries. And we're not
Speaker 2: here to talk about politics, but I'm going to imagine
Speaker 2: I also have it in Paris, and I'm going to
Speaker 2: imagine that things are very difficult there because I feel
Speaker 2: like nowhere politics is good. So I'm gonna assume comparison
Speaker 2: A has politics and B needs to heal from it.
Speaker 2: And I think that Belle could really speak to that.
Speaker 1: I think Belle could really speak to that. And I
Speaker 1: just want, here's my casting for bell at the opening ceremony.
Speaker 1: And I know she's not French. Kirsten Dunst.
Speaker 2: We've seen her play Marion and out, we've seen her
Speaker 2: play French.
Speaker 1: And that's enough. So that's my prediction so far. Let's
Speaker 1: just keep bouncing back and forth anything anything you are
Speaker 1: hoping to see your predictacy.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I feel like if we're to
Speaker 2: think about our great moments in history when it comes
Speaker 2: to opening ceremonies, I of course think of something I
Speaker 2: can recently remember, which was the Spice Girls coming out
Speaker 2: in London.
Speaker 1: That was closing closing, Wow.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, then then retract all of what I said
Speaker 2: and pretend I said it on a later episode that
Speaker 2: covers the closing ceremony. In fact, we'll just copy paste it.
Speaker 2: When the Spice Girls came out in London, like in
Speaker 2: all truth here, that was a moment in culture for me.
Speaker 2: It really made me happy when they wrote out on
Speaker 2: the cars and they were on top of the cars
Speaker 2: and they sang Spice Up Your Life and they came
Speaker 2: out and like themed you know, London town cars and
Speaker 2: ate it up. So I'm thinking, what's the Paris version
Speaker 2: of the Spice Girls.
Speaker 1: At Lily Collins?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Lily Collins, Lily Collins and.
Speaker 1: The cast of Emily in Paris, that is the French equivalent.
Speaker 2: That will have to be what we get?
Speaker 1: Or what if Carrie and the Russian Night in Paris?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, right Petrov burst of Kov It's burst
Speaker 1: of CoV.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, Alexander Petrowski, Oh.
Speaker 1: My god, that would be so cool. I think I
Speaker 1: want to see Gaga singing Le'Veon Rose.
Speaker 2: I would love Gaga in any capacity. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Maybe you know what, joker, folio, do you know what? Wait?
Speaker 2: Are we onto something here? Could Gaga appear at the Olympic.
Speaker 1: As Harley Quinn, whoa.
Speaker 2: Doesn't get more French.
Speaker 1: Doesn't get more French than that?
Speaker 2: I don't think we're ready for. How scary, joke erfolio,
Speaker 2: do it is going to be? Think about Gaga unleash
Speaker 2: musically and psychotically.
Speaker 1: We can't talk about the Olympics for more than like
Speaker 1: two minutes.
Speaker 2: They knew what they were getting. And look, people love
Speaker 2: the podcast as a cultural institution. Everyone's talking about it.
Speaker 2: It's on everyone's lips. Should we talk about some great
Speaker 2: moments in Olympic opening ceremony history. I mean there's been
Speaker 2: quite a bit.
Speaker 1: There's been quite a bit, I would say, So let's
Speaker 1: just start off with I remember when I where I
Speaker 1: was and how I felt when eight Asian Olympics opening
Speaker 1: ceremony happened. Yeah, that was a wild one. They had
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight of everything. So they had two
Speaker 1: thousand and eight drummers in the beginning, they had two
Speaker 1: thousand and eight tiles in this printing press where it
Speaker 1: was actual people on like pushing each It wasn't like
Speaker 1: a machine. It was all like manual labor, just on
Speaker 1: a grandeur on a scale level like that is I
Speaker 1: think one of the more impressive.
Speaker 2: Ones absolutely, That was.
Speaker 1: Sarah Brighton, I think singing a song with a Chinese singer.
Speaker 1: They sang something, but that's when I was like, that's
Speaker 1: Sarah Brightman, like like Phantom of the Opera. Wow, the
Speaker 1: original Christine.
Speaker 2: Wow came out and carried at the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony.
Speaker 1: For whatever reason she was in Beijing. Our Christine was
Speaker 1: in Beijing.
Speaker 2: I get it, though, so I guess Beijing kind of
Speaker 2: went all out.
Speaker 1: They went very extra, They went extra absolutely.
Speaker 2: Do you remember the Queen Elizabeth the second skit with
Speaker 2: James Bond aka Daniel Craig at the twenty twelve London
Speaker 2: Olympics opening ceremony, because a queen look alike fully jumped
Speaker 2: out of a plane and the actual queen arrived wearing
Speaker 2: the same peach color dress. She actually was down to
Speaker 2: clown that Queen Elizabeth. I think we're not giving her
Speaker 2: enough credit for how she held together with the royal
Speaker 2: family because Loki look at them now, and that's not
Speaker 2: slander because we're talking about the Paris Olympics. This isn't
Speaker 2: the London Olympics, where I'm sure we'd have way more decorum.
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe not. But she also had a sense of humor.
Speaker 1: She had a sense of humor. Where's the Crown episode
Speaker 1: on that? About how funny she was, well, not only
Speaker 1: about how funny she was, but also about the opening ceremony.
Speaker 2: Hmm.
Speaker 1: I want her meeting Daniel them discussing, yeah, what it's
Speaker 1: gonna be like on the day I just want to
Speaker 1: hear Queen Elizabeth the iond say on.
Speaker 3: The day, I'll do it on the day.
Speaker 2: I don't know why I'm talking, Like, is that Adele,
Speaker 2: I'll do it on the day.
Speaker 1: That's good.
Speaker 2: On the day. You'll be better.
Speaker 1: Now you have an Adele and a ray. Now that
Speaker 1: ray is becoming more of a more, more of a.
Speaker 2: Ray, more like like ray less bothered than a doe.
Speaker 2: Day was up here, raise more down here.
Speaker 1: Raise down here. I can't believe I'm snl. That's what
Speaker 1: she said to me.
Speaker 2: She said, it's so cute, it's amazing.
Speaker 1: I can't believe I'm amazing.
Speaker 2: I can't believe I'm sn ol so amazing. I've never
Speaker 2: dreamed this spake you were when I was a young girl,
Speaker 2: I never thought I could dream this spike.
Speaker 1: You're so good at accents. I'm getting a horny from you.
Speaker 2: Don't don't don't horny in the middle of the day,
Speaker 2: getting horny, because then the whole day goes. When you're
Speaker 2: getting horny too early, honey, honey, then you're you're just
Speaker 2: empty the rest of the day. Did they tell us
Speaker 2: at the when we started recording this, like, hey, don't curse.
Speaker 1: I I don't think they did, and I think it's okay.
Speaker 1: I think they did say that they might bleep us.
Speaker 2: Well that's fine. I kind of think a bleep as
Speaker 2: she I think blea takes me back, bleeps me back
Speaker 2: to like, you know, hell television. Yeah, like like you
Speaker 2: know what I mean? And hearing that bleep so totaling
Speaker 2: talk about getting horny? What was the word? Your body thinks? Right?
Speaker 1: Well, talk about linear TV. And this is the Olympics.
Speaker 1: This is a celebration of linear television.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, this is so old school. This is bringing
Speaker 2: TV back down.
Speaker 1: With the streamers. Sorry, Peacock, we love you.
Speaker 2: You know that we love you.
Speaker 1: Peacock.
Speaker 2: You won the last Cherisa's Culture Award You're a Coach
Speaker 2: Award winner for Best Streaming Service, presented by Peacock. The
Speaker 2: winner was Peacock.
Speaker 1: The winner was Peacock. Now, the ninety six Atlanta Games,
Speaker 1: I wasn't totally keyed to the Olympics at this very
Speaker 1: young age. I must have been five or six years old.
Speaker 2: We were young.
Speaker 1: We were young. But I have seen images of these.
Speaker 2: Hot silhouettes, gorgeous hot silhouet to the Atlanta Olympics opening
Speaker 2: ceremony was certainly giving, and especially to note we would
Speaker 2: have enjoyed this very much because if you bring out
Speaker 2: Gladys Knight singing Georgia on my Mind now today I'm
Speaker 2: on my feet screaming the word respect and six year
Speaker 2: old me, I don't think could really receive that and
Speaker 2: could maybe identify with Georgia on my Mind. But adult me,
Speaker 2: who in a word? Who in a word?
Speaker 1: Who in a word? I would have signed up to
Speaker 1: be a pip mm hmm.
Speaker 2: Leave on the mind the train Georgia.
Speaker 3: Rain.
Speaker 2: That's a great song. That's a great tune, almost as
Speaker 2: good as Great Balls of Fire.
Speaker 1: The second time mentioning Great Balls of Fire on this
Speaker 1: podcast amazing. The two thousand Sydney Olympics. I really really loved.
Speaker 1: This was the first opening ceremonies that I sat down.
Speaker 2: For that you can really remember in your heart in lluins.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just remember when all the nations would come
Speaker 1: out with their flags, just feeling an immense and this
Speaker 1: is what the Olympics give. Yeah, you really see the
Speaker 1: breath of the world. You see all different kinds of people.
Speaker 2: I could cry. You see the breath of the world
Speaker 2: b R E A D H. And you also see
Speaker 2: the breath of the world. The breath because you see
Speaker 2: them living in such pride.
Speaker 1: And you see the bread of the world because I
Speaker 1: want to take a bite off.
Speaker 2: Of that period. And no matter who it is, no
Speaker 2: matter who, that's where we're at. Remember the phrase playing
Speaker 2: hard to get? Yeah, I forgot what that phrase even means.
Speaker 1: Honey. When I when I watched the Sydney Olympic opening ceremony,
Speaker 1: I said, what is that phrase? I don't know her?
Speaker 2: I said, what, I don't know her? What do you
Speaker 2: feel about North and South Korea marching together in the
Speaker 2: opening ceremony of the two thousand Sydney Olympics behind a
Speaker 2: flag depicting a unified Korean peninsula? That kind of two
Speaker 2: words for me, fat chance, two words for me false, hope,
Speaker 2: much that's three. But don't don't dangle that in front
Speaker 2: of us. It's giving me announcing to the world via
Speaker 2: my aim away message Varsity Chicks coming summer two thousand
Speaker 2: and four. Yeah, it's just it's not gonna happen. It
Speaker 2: ain't gonna happen. It's giving. When no Mary Poppins ride
Speaker 2: in Epcot, it's exactly that. It's literally just as hurtful.
Speaker 2: We're so excited for Dark Universe at Universal, at the
Speaker 2: University for Steakhouse Das Steakhouse, which I thought was it's
Speaker 2: gonna be really good, you guys, And this is NBC Universal,
Speaker 2: so this is good that we bring this up and
Speaker 2: it's relevant. You're gonna be able to eat at this
Speaker 2: theme park in the Dark Universe section, which is Classic
Speaker 2: Monster's theme, You're gonna be able to eat steak on
Speaker 2: a steak and there's going to be familiars of vampires
Speaker 2: serving it to you, and those are going to be
Speaker 2: the way staff. Name another legendary theme park. You can't
Speaker 2: that this is going to be number one.
Speaker 1: Do you remember the two thousand and four Athens Olympics
Speaker 1: opening ceremony, giant cycladic head rising from the flooded stadium floor,
Speaker 1: breaks apart, falls into the water. It represents what the
Speaker 1: Greek islands. Yeah, we're talking archipelago legends.
Speaker 2: It's just, you know, to be honest with you, Bowen,
Speaker 2: this is a tough Olympics for me, really, and also
Speaker 2: just the entire Olympics actually is hard for me. Like
Speaker 2: this whole thing has been very traumatizing to do this
Speaker 2: podcast so far because as we know, the Olympics has
Speaker 2: its roots in Greece, and I felt that I had
Speaker 2: my roots in Greece, and then I did a twenty
Speaker 2: three in me that, let's just say, I was sorely mistaken.
Speaker 2: So I think I watched this as a fourteen year
Speaker 2: old person, newly excited about the Olympics and the Games
Speaker 2: and the whole pumping circumstance, thinking Wow, they're in my homeland,
Speaker 2: and to know that I was wrong. No, man, I
Speaker 2: don't know if I'll ever get over it, Matt, because
Speaker 2: I'm Turkish as hell.
Speaker 1: Well, this is what I was to say, is that
Speaker 1: the thing about twenty three in Me and these ancestry
Speaker 1: things is like Turkey. It's like Turkey, Greece. It's just
Speaker 1: giving Mediterranean. You are of that part of the world.
Speaker 1: You are from the Middle Earth, from Mediterra. You are
Speaker 1: Greek down you if you were raised Greek with a
Speaker 1: Greek identity, don't let a little test, a little percentage
Speaker 1: on a little slip of paper or a little website
Speaker 1: tell you anything different.
Speaker 2: I can't be sad about who I am and who
Speaker 2: I ended up being, you know what I mean, even
Speaker 2: if I thought it was something different. I still ended
Speaker 2: up being someone who genetically was made up of the
Speaker 2: stuff that could cause me to run a four to
Speaker 2: thirty six mile in the sixteen hundred meters when I
Speaker 2: was but fifteen years old. Woow. So I guess I
Speaker 2: can't have regrets genetically, but it stings.
Speaker 1: I hope you can think back on the Athens Olympics
Speaker 1: and feel that same pride you felt when you were
Speaker 1: fourteen thirteen years old.
Speaker 2: Sometimes boe, I wish I had never spit four times
Speaker 2: into that tube. And I don't just say that about this.
Speaker 1: Oh what now? What could that mean?
Speaker 2: You know that classic and nuendo, the tube, the twobe oh,
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty Tokyo Olympics. There was some drama around
Speaker 2: this year, twenty twenty, But I mean, at least what
Speaker 2: happened in performers. At least we had human performers bringing
Speaker 2: sport pictograms to life. What happened in twenty.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, I now I remember what happened in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, But you're right, at least we had humans
Speaker 1: bringing sport pictrograms to life at the twenty twenty Tokyo Olympics.
Speaker 2: You know, I was watching the weakest link the other
Speaker 2: day with my parents because it was on television program
Speaker 2: and one of the questions was the twenty twenty Tokyo
Speaker 2: Olympics was held in what year? And when he said
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, I jumped out of my seat, like idiot,
Speaker 2: And then she was like, correct, and I was like
Speaker 2: and then I remembered I was the idiot for having
Speaker 2: completely erased the coronavirus pandemic from existence. Of course it
Speaker 2: took place in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 1: It had to be delayed, so it's kind of nice
Speaker 1: that we're getting it only three years after the last
Speaker 1: one in the summertime.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of nice. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And remember the twenty sixteen Rio Games Gizelle strutting her
Speaker 1: stuff to girl from Apanima. Oh yeah, kind of a
Speaker 1: weird one. I would say that was a weird one.
Speaker 2: You know what, though, the weirder the better. I love
Speaker 2: that they were like, you know, who should represent us
Speaker 2: at the Olympics, Gisell. I think it's the most chaotic
Speaker 2: and yet cheek choice we've spoken about.
Speaker 1: Okay, I just that is that, But that's like the
Speaker 1: main image that we remember, which is so interesting to me.
Speaker 1: Why it's weird, It's weird. Oh we have to just
Speaker 1: mention going back to Athens, b York, Oh yeah, say
Speaker 1: her name b York singing and then having her whole
Speaker 1: dress on furl to cover the entire floor of the stadium.
Speaker 1: That is, I'm sorry to say, and they're gonna bleet me.
Speaker 2: Yep. She is an Olympic type of performer, Like you
Speaker 2: want someone who's gonna give the global impact that can
Speaker 2: only be delivered by an artist like York.
Speaker 1: Who do you think that artist would be for Paris?
Speaker 1: As we go into tomorrow, as we wait with baited breath,
Speaker 1: with the Parisis, I have I have a pitch.
Speaker 2: You go because we said Gaga, But I feel like
Speaker 2: now it's too good to be true. It makes too
Speaker 2: much sense.
Speaker 1: Enya, Oh, I think Enya could come out of you know,
Speaker 1: her break that she's taken.
Speaker 2: I think, you know, I jumped into my mind. What
Speaker 2: did come to my mind?
Speaker 1: Selene?
Speaker 2: Wouldn't that be a major mode?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, we would all let's just call it there,
Speaker 1: like we don't have to do anything else in civilization.
Speaker 1: Selene could come out and just do whatever it is
Speaker 1: she wanted. But then I was like, oh is that dumb?
Speaker 1: Because She's French Canadian, but like, I still think Paris
Speaker 1: would welcome Celine Dijon with open arms as an international
Speaker 1: icon and what would be more hopeful than seeing her
Speaker 1: go up there and like, no, Selena her space again.
Speaker 1: Selene has represented other countries in the past, since the beginning,
Speaker 1: since Eurovision.
Speaker 2: She's since zero Vision. You're right about that, she.
Speaker 1: Was for Switzerland. There is something French about her.
Speaker 2: No matter what, I think this is the only answer
Speaker 2: not to set an expectation that will disappoint us because
Speaker 2: she is still getting well. But that would be pretty
Speaker 2: amazing in a real way and not in a silly
Speaker 2: way like we've been talking on the rest of this episode.
Speaker 2: Now we've been talking in a very silly manner. I
Speaker 2: think we have Let's get serious and let's give out
Speaker 2: our medals. Let's do gold, silver and bronze to some
Speaker 2: of these opening ceremonies that we just listed. I think
Speaker 2: we might be in conflict here because I do believe
Speaker 2: that Giselle Bunchen is a medalist. Here, I'm okay to
Speaker 2: give her the bronze medal, just like they've probably got
Speaker 2: bronze before the event that one, because guess what, even
Speaker 2: Giselle doesn't wake up looking like she's ready for the runway.
Speaker 2: I want all the women out there to know she
Speaker 2: doesn't just wake up looking like that. Okay, she gets
Speaker 2: a lot of help and the team that got her
Speaker 2: ready for events like sure, the twenty sixteen Rio Olympics
Speaker 2: opening ceremony, but you could too, you could too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, we'll give it that. On Metal, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: give the silver to I think Sydney doesn't get a
Speaker 1: medal because of that North Korean moment, because of that
Speaker 1: Korea unified Korea moment that's locked, that was like teasing
Speaker 1: something that was never going to happen. I'm going to
Speaker 1: give silver to Athens, okay, because guess what. It is
Speaker 1: a huge part of your journey of the self to
Speaker 1: reconnect with your Greek culture. That is that will always
Speaker 1: be with you.
Speaker 2: And I can appreciate the you know what they were
Speaker 2: doing there with the cycladic head rising from the flooded
Speaker 2: stadium floor which ultimately broke apart, and piece of stone
Speaker 2: in the water representing the Greek islands. I think that's
Speaker 2: really I get that.
Speaker 1: I get that.
Speaker 2: Definitely gold for me. The humor of Queen Elizabeth jumping
Speaker 2: out of a plane, human arriving in a James Bond
Speaker 2: skit to me that just like you, just like me,
Speaker 2: just like Ariano. Mattox back in the day takes sketch
Speaker 2: comedy very seriously in a way that I think does
Speaker 2: belong on a world stage.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, and that's why we are happy to give the
Speaker 1: gold medal to the London twenty twelve Olympics opening ceremonies.
Speaker 2: But in any final words that lead us into what
Speaker 2: is going to be surely an exciting and really moving
Speaker 2: opening ceremony, you.
Speaker 1: Can catch us doing an Instagram live after the opening ceremonies.
Speaker 1: I did not discuss this with matt Do you are
Speaker 1: you down? Let's do it.
