Speaker 1: A bit of a development story with the US women's
Speaker 1: gymnastics team at the Olympics on this Sunday, July the
Speaker 1: twenty eighth, And as we start this Sunday, the official
Speaker 1: Olympic medal count at the start of this day Australia,
Speaker 1: the United States, and Italy on top in overall medals
Speaker 1: one so far five each. Australia and China have the
Speaker 1: most gold medal so far, three each.
Speaker 2: Also in today's edition of the Tea from Perry, an
Speaker 2: Olympic dream comes to a shocking and it was a
Speaker 2: heartbreaking end for an American star. On Day one plus ten,
Speaker 2: USA's first gold medal of the Paris Games was one
Speaker 2: in the pool. And meanwhile the water speaking of that
Speaker 2: in the river sin Well, it might be too dirty
Speaker 2: for competition. And the IOC apologizes for screwing up big
Speaker 2: time a country's name during the opening ceremony, And a
Speaker 2: coach has been found dead at Olympic village.
Speaker 1: Also in this episode, won't the real US men's soccer
Speaker 1: team please stand up? The best excuse a man has
Speaker 1: ever given for losing his wedding ring. We found our
Speaker 1: favorite Olympic commentator and our runaway winner for favorite Olympic
Speaker 1: moment of Day one. Everybody, welcome to this somewhat distracted
Speaker 1: edition episode of Amy and TJ robes. This works perfectly
Speaker 1: for us. That's so much of the competition happening in Paris.
Speaker 1: It's happening six hours ahead of us, so we can
Speaker 1: get up first thing in the morning here literally at
Speaker 1: three and four am, and there is live Olympic coverage
Speaker 1: going on, like right now.
Speaker 2: It's a dream come true for you. TJ set the
Speaker 2: alarm at three forty five am this morning, Sunday morning,
Speaker 2: and right now as we are recording this podcast, we
Speaker 2: are watching the US women's gymnastics team. We don't want
Speaker 2: to give away we don't want to create any spoilers
Speaker 2: here what we are watching them compete. And it has
Speaker 2: been a fantastic morning watching. To me, the best Olympic
Speaker 2: sport there is. I'm a little biased, but man do
Speaker 2: I love watching gymnastics.
Speaker 1: And we got up yesterday and we got stuck. I
Speaker 1: stay stuck because it wasn't the plan. It's like once
Speaker 1: you start watching a show and then use next thing
Speaker 1: you know, you've streamed like twenty two episodes. That was
Speaker 1: the men's gymnastics for US yesterday we ended up watching
Speaker 1: pretty much everything and they're qualifying and now the women's
Speaker 1: is going on, and again Robes just said it. We
Speaker 1: should always tell folks we will not even though no
Speaker 1: matter what time we record and what we know about
Speaker 1: competition and results, we won't give you any spoilers here
Speaker 1: every day as we're doing this. But there was at
Speaker 1: least Robes this morning as we've been watching a bit
Speaker 1: of a development that people will be talking about with
Speaker 1: the US women's gymnastics team having to do with Simone Biles,
Speaker 1: something we've been watching here for the past hour.
Speaker 2: Now, that's right, you will see for yourself, but there
Speaker 2: is certainly going to be some headlines regarding some own Biles.
Speaker 2: We have been thoroughly enjoying. Wow, these performances, and you
Speaker 2: know what, you'll see this when you all watch, if
Speaker 2: you haven't already. But we just noticed they have put
Speaker 2: they have put heart monitors on the parents. We actually
Speaker 2: saw their beats per minute, the pulse rates of the
Speaker 2: parents watching their daughters compete, and understandably so it's like
Speaker 2: in the one seventies, I believe I can't even imagine
Speaker 2: what it would be like in those stands watching your
Speaker 2: daughters compete at this level. But yes, the headlines will
Speaker 2: be about miss Simone Biles for sure.
Speaker 1: And what we're talking about here, Yes, you know the competition.
Speaker 1: We follow her. She's expected to win goals. She's the
Speaker 1: greatest to ever do this. The development is that after
Speaker 1: one routine she seemed to injure herself and it's been
Speaker 1: a lot of focus on whatever this injury may be,
Speaker 1: and she is noticeably limping, and she has heavy tape around.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at it and they're showing it close up
Speaker 1: as we speak, around her left ankle A roh. She
Speaker 1: did the best being that was the first event that
Speaker 1: she did, but then in a warm up getting ready
Speaker 1: for the floor exercise is where she appeared to tweak something.
Speaker 2: But I have to say, despite the fact that she
Speaker 2: clearly does have some sort of an injury to her foot,
Speaker 2: she has been all smiles. She was joking, crawling from
Speaker 2: event to event so as to not put weight on
Speaker 2: her foot. But it's remarkable to see what she can
Speaker 2: do even with a tweaked ankle.
Speaker 1: And so that's a development because we don't know how
Speaker 1: serious it is, how big of a deal she appears
Speaker 1: to be competing just fine. As we are talking, we
Speaker 1: are looking at her live perform on then even bars
Speaker 1: and she looks just fine. But when you talk about
Speaker 1: someone who's expected to compete for the all around, this
Speaker 1: is her comeback after the twisties and everything happened in
Speaker 1: the last Olympics. You just wanted to go well for
Speaker 1: he wanted to go perfect and robes. We're seeing now
Speaker 1: even the folks in the stands there in Paris, she's
Speaker 1: got the likes of and she sticks the lamb.
Speaker 2: Wow, I have chills.
Speaker 1: So that thing I was saying about her seeing to
Speaker 1: tweet something with us. Oh, but she is noticeably limping,
Speaker 1: but she's having she is running.
Speaker 2: She is running now, she's limping and running at the
Speaker 2: same time. But you know what's so cool because anyone
Speaker 2: who's followed the sport knows, I mean, she has moves
Speaker 2: named after her. The degree of difficulty what she does
Speaker 2: on all of these events, especially on the vaults, it's dangerous.
Speaker 2: It's dangerous to the point where most gymnas wouldn't even
Speaker 2: dare attempt or think about doing the moves that she does.
Speaker 2: And it's just remarkable to watch her. You know what's
Speaker 2: fun too to see all the fans in the crowd.
Speaker 2: I was there in Tokyo when she went through what
Speaker 2: she went through, and it was a bizarre feeling to
Speaker 2: see her struggling and then to have no one in
Speaker 2: the in the fans in the stadium. There was no cheering,
Speaker 2: there was no support, and you got to think that
Speaker 2: it feels so good for her to come back and
Speaker 2: to have her parents there watching her nail it and
Speaker 2: work through pain and just still be the best of
Speaker 2: the best of the best. I mean, there's no one
Speaker 2: like her, So.
Speaker 1: It's a development, just something to keep an eye on
Speaker 1: you. You don't well, my goodness, God forbid. You don't want
Speaker 1: anything have an injury or something getting the way of
Speaker 1: her being her best. They're showing her parents here now,
Speaker 1: and like I said, they're celebrity Snoop Dogg is there,
Speaker 1: but you've seen him everywhere anyway.
Speaker 2: Tom Cruise, they're watching. I saw Jessica Chastain in the
Speaker 2: stands as well, Ariana Grande.
Speaker 1: They're all there obviously to see her. But this is
Speaker 1: this is cool. But you'll all this is airing live
Speaker 1: on Peacock and then you'll have all of it in
Speaker 1: primetime if that's where you choose to watch. But Rob,
Speaker 1: we've spent the mornings, of course watching but the mornings
Speaker 1: have given us an opportunity to watch things we don't
Speaker 1: normally watch. And I know I was up yesterday very
Speaker 1: early watching fencing, and there was some canoeing going on,
Speaker 1: and there was some bad midden, and there was table tennis.
Speaker 1: It's fun to watch those you don't normally get to
Speaker 1: see and think people doing it in a way that
Speaker 1: you didn't think was imagined.
Speaker 2: The canoeing was really fun to watch. I really enjoyed that.
Speaker 2: It was remarkable to see how they were able to
Speaker 2: create a whitewater rapid venue in the middle of Paris.
Speaker 2: And then also surfing. We had a lot of fun
Speaker 2: watching surfing. It's just gorgeous, gorgeous to watch. So while
Speaker 2: we have seen so many athletes do what they do
Speaker 2: better than anyone else, there was a really sad moment
Speaker 2: for a big US men's gymnastics hopeful, Rody Malone. He
Speaker 2: is now not going to compete for the title of
Speaker 2: all around Olympic champion and it was just a really
Speaker 2: tough start to his Paris Games. He was considered to
Speaker 2: be Team USA's best chance at a medal in the
Speaker 2: all around competition, but he fell twice on the high bar,
Speaker 2: which is just so uncharacteristic of him. He also fell
Speaker 2: on the pommel horse, so he didn't qualify to compete
Speaker 2: in the final on what is his event, which is
Speaker 2: the high bar. He's been the US champion for the
Speaker 2: past four years. He's made a comeback this year after
Speaker 2: a devastating knee injury. So this is just a tough,
Speaker 2: tough break for him. But he did say that it's
Speaker 2: another day. He's back in the gym and he's preparing
Speaker 2: for team finals, even though he knows he won't have
Speaker 2: any individual competition.
Speaker 1: He was high bar there, he was fourth in Tokyo
Speaker 1: on high bar. Yeah, I think it was so this
Speaker 1: was this was his time. This was one of those folks,
Speaker 1: and I know many of you have seen it at
Speaker 1: this point where it is the most painful part of
Speaker 1: the Olympics. He for the past four years he has
Speaker 1: been getting ready for this moment and by just not
Speaker 1: even an inch, he missed a bar and he fell,
Speaker 1: and it just you could tell me this is the
Speaker 1: highest level of competition. Is not a bad thing to
Speaker 1: say that Sometimes the pressure gets to folks, and after
Speaker 1: that he just spiraled. Yeah, and it was hard to watch.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you see how mental this is. I mean, obviously,
Speaker 2: physically they're capable of doing all of these things, they've
Speaker 2: been rehearsing it NonStop for the past four years. But yes, mentally,
Speaker 2: when something goes wrong, it's just Athletes will tell you
Speaker 2: that that is the difference between winning and losing, and
Speaker 2: that he.
Speaker 1: Just wanted to hug him every time he was out there.
Speaker 1: After that, you would just please let him get through it.
Speaker 1: Please let him get through it, but give him credit.
Speaker 1: You'll be back out there still trying to help his
Speaker 1: team in the in the team competition. Another American superstar, however,
Speaker 1: this time picked up exactly where he left off in Tokyo.
Speaker 1: We talked about Caleb Drussell, superstar swimmer, considered one of
Speaker 1: the greatests to ever do it for the Americans. While
Speaker 1: he and his a US Men's for about one hundred
Speaker 1: team won the first gold medal of the Olympics for
Speaker 1: the United States, he won five gold medals back in Tokyo,
Speaker 1: so you'll remember his name. He ran out and found
Speaker 1: his found his wife and his kid. I think the
Speaker 1: kid's five months old, but you probably saw the shot
Speaker 1: of his wife hanging out with Snoop Dogg and cheering
Speaker 1: during during the event yesterday again is everywhere. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: Drussel is right on track. The US men's soccer team
Speaker 1: maybe is back on track. That bounce back in a
Speaker 1: major way beat Guinea four to one. Excuse me, this
Speaker 1: was New Zealand, New Zealand, New Zealand. They have Guinea next,
Speaker 1: but they beat New Zealand four to one. Remember the
Speaker 1: Americans got trounced three neil in their first match against France.
Speaker 1: This win now puts them in maybe a better position
Speaker 1: to get out of the group stage and maybe go
Speaker 1: for a metal.
Speaker 2: So they're gonna play Guinea. That happens on Tuesday, correct,
Speaker 2: so that will be the distinguishing factor as to whether
Speaker 2: or not we actually make it through. But good for
Speaker 2: team USA men's soccer. US women's soccer very excited about
Speaker 2: this team. They look amazing. They play against Germany later today,
Speaker 2: so we're very excited to cheer them on. They looked,
Speaker 2: didn't They look incredible?
Speaker 1: They look unbeatable. I lovely. They were hitting it all
Speaker 1: cells and you love to see that. So they always
Speaker 1: give us some.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we are very excited about watching that later. Today.
Speaker 2: There is some sad news though, to report out of
Speaker 2: Olympic village. A coach was found dead, sixty year old,
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna hopefully say his name correctly. Forgive me
Speaker 2: if I don't Linel Fatupeto. He served as the coach
Speaker 2: of the top seeded samoan heavyweight boxer at the Games.
Speaker 2: They believe he experienced cardiac arrest, but sixty is way
Speaker 2: too young to go. And just so sad. He was
Speaker 2: so excited. They've showed pictures. It's all over the internet,
Speaker 2: social media, just how excited he was to be there.
Speaker 2: And I know that everyone is feeling that significant loss today.
Speaker 1: That's tough, the entire community there, and they are a
Speaker 1: community of athletes, certainly in the village. Meanwhile, the International
Speaker 1: Olympic Committee, the organizer's there in Paris, are apologizing because
Speaker 1: during the opening ceremony they called a country by the
Speaker 1: wrong name. That seems almost impossible. Now, what country's name
Speaker 1: could they have messed up? Well, the country whose name
Speaker 1: they got wrong was South Korea. Yeah, how do you
Speaker 1: mess that up? You call them North Korea, which is
Speaker 1: precisely what they did. The South Korean delegation was announced
Speaker 1: as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, which is of
Speaker 1: course the official name of North Korea. Seems impossible for
Speaker 1: a mistake like that to get made on this stage.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it happened. They apologized and hopefully that will be
Speaker 2: the end of it. But there is some well maybe
Speaker 2: some other apologizing that the Paris Olympic officials want to
Speaker 2: apologize for the condition of the River Sen. Not that
Speaker 2: they could really do that much about it, but all
Speaker 2: that rain that you saw in opening ceremonies, and I
Speaker 2: believe it was raining all day yesterday too. I think
Speaker 2: they said forty eight hours of rain. Well, that has
Speaker 2: created some problems in the River Sen. So now the
Speaker 2: water isn't safe enough to swim in for the triathlon
Speaker 2: and marathon swimming competition. So yes, they've been testing the
Speaker 2: bacteria levels they are currently unstie So if the water
Speaker 2: isn't testing at a safe level, the competitions they're scheduled
Speaker 2: to begin in a couple of days, so they do
Speaker 2: have an option of delaying the competitions, or they say
Speaker 2: they could actually change the triathlon to a duathlon, but
Speaker 2: that seems crazy to do and you know, they're saying
Speaker 2: today that they it will be good, it will be
Speaker 2: ready by July thirtieth, But honestly, that's probably just them
Speaker 2: crossing their fingers and hoping for the best, and there's
Speaker 2: nothing they can do. For there's nothing they can do,
Speaker 2: so I will see. By the way, talking about swimming,
Speaker 2: I just also want to mention we didn't mention Katie Leadecki.
Speaker 2: She got a bronze, but was bested by those Australians,
Speaker 2: those pesky Australians. But you know, she is a ten
Speaker 2: time medalist. This is her fourth Olympics and she could
Speaker 2: become the most decorated American woman in Olympics history. So
Speaker 2: we'll keep watching her in the pool because she is
Speaker 2: just a force.
Speaker 1: She probably will but and if this is one of
Speaker 1: those things, I don't even know why, but we we
Speaker 1: don't like Australian swimmers, right because the competition is fierce
Speaker 1: in between the US, but it seems every time we lose,
Speaker 1: they're the ones that touch the wall first and vice versa.
Speaker 1: So it's a great rivalry they have going. But watching
Speaker 1: the swimming now, and I like, if they're gonna don't
Speaker 1: lose to Australia.
Speaker 2: I know you were, you were really bothered all but
Speaker 2: at least they have a safe pool to swim in,
Speaker 2: so that's good.
Speaker 1: And if that is so nasty, they were talking about
Speaker 1: all the rain water that did come down ends up
Speaker 1: pushing an excess amount of sewage if you get to
Speaker 1: the river. And I didn't know as well that swimming
Speaker 1: has been banned in the river for like a hundred
Speaker 1: years or something.
Speaker 2: Well let's have our Olympic athletes go in there now
Speaker 2: and see what happens.
Speaker 1: Spent the billion dollars to clean this thing up, and
Speaker 1: they might not be able if if rope, if they
Speaker 1: get to go do their marathon swimming in the sand,
Speaker 1: if they get to go do the triathlon in the river. Said,
Speaker 1: then swimmers, all of you need to keep an eye
Speaker 1: out for a gold wedding ring. One Italian would really
Speaker 1: appreciate it, because Jean Marco Tamberry claims he lost his
Speaker 1: wedding band in the river during the opening ceremony.
Speaker 2: You say claims, I mean.
Speaker 1: It's convenient, is what I'm saying. I'm perfect excuse. You
Speaker 1: cannot beat that one. But he claims that what happened
Speaker 1: was it was really really rainy that night, which we
Speaker 1: all was. Okay, so we can confirm that he was
Speaker 1: the flag bearer for his country, Italy aboard their boat.
Speaker 1: We can confirm that, yep, he was on the boat.
Speaker 1: You know what, else, he's been working out a lot.
Speaker 1: He is really in thin, thin shape right to compete.
Speaker 1: So maybe his fingers a little little.
Speaker 2: Thinner than it was, a little looser than it was
Speaker 2: before you put.
Speaker 1: All these factors together, robes and the ring. Just it's
Speaker 1: just But Jean Marco actually did a pretty cool, pretty
Speaker 1: funny social media post apologizing profusely to his wife. Blame
Speaker 1: those wet conditions and the intense training and being a
Speaker 1: little thinner. But he made a comment of now this
Speaker 1: he has a reason to bring back even bigger gold.
Speaker 1: He's the high jumper right for Italy, and I believe
Speaker 1: you want a gold medal last time around.
Speaker 2: So he's going to bring back some more gold, just
Speaker 2: not in the form of a ring.
Speaker 1: That is a crazy story. I mean it is quite possible.
Speaker 1: I mean it was a mess.
Speaker 2: That kind of cool. If your wedding ring has to
Speaker 2: end up somewhere other than around your finger, I guess
Speaker 2: you could say the river send yes during the Olympics.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's kind of a cool thing. And you
Speaker 2: know what, he can always buy another one. I'm sure
Speaker 2: he'll be fine for that. We have had so much
Speaker 2: fun watching I mean, I've never watched the Olympics like
Speaker 2: this with you. This is we've had two computer screens up,
Speaker 2: the TV up. We realize that we can only watch
Speaker 2: two at a time though, right they limit your access
Speaker 2: on peacock, so we can only watch two events.
Speaker 1: Well, we can watch three, but you and I usually
Speaker 1: have a TV going in another room. That's been our easy.
Speaker 1: So we got three screens. Yes, are our options here
Speaker 1: in this home.
Speaker 2: And we have I mean I have. I have been
Speaker 2: through a range of emotions, gotten a lot of chills.
Speaker 2: But we had a moment yesterday that just was the
Speaker 2: perfect Olympic moment and it was our favorite moment of
Speaker 2: the day. Tell us about it.
Speaker 1: From an athlete that most people obviously in this country
Speaker 1: don't know and not going to be a big superstar
Speaker 1: coming out of the Olympics, a Carlo Mancini. He is
Speaker 1: an Italian gymnast. Now, bros. We were talking about Brody Malone.
Speaker 1: I think the commentator called what we saw yesterday during
Speaker 1: the men's qualifying, said the high bar. He said, it
Speaker 1: is shocking what is happening on the high bar. We
Speaker 1: saw athlete after athlete, top athlete, and we talked about
Speaker 1: guys who have won championships falling on the high.
Speaker 2: Bar, falling on the high bar, and and it's so sad,
Speaker 2: it's so devastating in that moment when it happens.
Speaker 1: But this bad fall, this guy has ended up flat
Speaker 1: on their back. We saw a guy fall forward, almost
Speaker 1: off the mat completely.
Speaker 2: I hate seeing that too, because you just think about
Speaker 2: all the hard work and it all comes down to
Speaker 2: that one moment, all of that pressure, and then bam.
Speaker 2: You know, once you've fallen, it's over. Your your dream
Speaker 2: of a metal, your dream of even qualifying to the final,
Speaker 2: it's it's pretty much over at that point.
Speaker 1: And so Carlo Menngini later in the day, so we've
Speaker 1: seen so many falls, he's doing his high ball routine
Speaker 1: and sure enough he takes an awful spill, one of
Speaker 1: those just not an easy little slip. He just ended
Speaker 1: up all completely on the mat. He got up and
Speaker 1: the entire arena you could hear them just try to
Speaker 1: cheer the guy on. But he has to get up
Speaker 1: and he has to finish for the sake of his
Speaker 1: team to get the points. Difficult routine. He gets back
Speaker 1: up there and starts twirling and spinning and doing his
Speaker 1: whole thing again. The crowd we're holding it, I said,
Speaker 1: week but yeah, we're holding our breath hoping he makes
Speaker 1: it through and the crowd is cheering him on. And
Speaker 1: made it through.
Speaker 2: He nailed it.
Speaker 1: He nailed the rest of it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he nailed the rest of it, which you know what,
Speaker 2: that's hard to do because we've seen that once you
Speaker 2: mess up once tickets in your head, you can't. He
Speaker 2: pushed through, fought hard. It was an extremely difficult routine,
Speaker 2: and he nailed the landing. And what I mean when
Speaker 2: you saw his face, despite the fact that he knew
Speaker 2: he had lost any of his metal hopes or chances
Speaker 2: to move on, he had a big smile on his
Speaker 2: face and the crowd just roared, and it was just
Speaker 2: a moment of just redemption, like forget any accolades he
Speaker 2: isn't going to get. He did that for himself and
Speaker 2: the crowd recognized it.
Speaker 1: I assume that did not make it until the primetime
Speaker 1: coverage of NBC yesterday, So I bet a lot of
Speaker 1: people didn't get to see it, and I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's online to watch. But it wasn't just that
Speaker 1: he got up and he finished and the crowd was cheering.
Speaker 1: That would have been actually cool enough. Remember what he
Speaker 1: was doing. He was pumping his chest, He had a
Speaker 1: big like joy in his face, and it was almost
Speaker 1: apologetic even in how he was gesturing to the to
Speaker 1: the crowd. It was the coolest, sweetest is I'm waiting
Speaker 1: for the moment that's gonna top that in the Olympics.
Speaker 1: But that summed everything up, the triumph and the tragedy.
Speaker 2: The agony of defeat, and but the joy.
Speaker 1: That still came from all correct God, that was I
Speaker 1: love that moment.
Speaker 2: I did too, And you loved listening to some of
Speaker 2: the comments. By now your favorite commentator here knew?
Speaker 1: Who knew that? Some of my favorite on air commentators
Speaker 1: are in hockey and now in gymnastics, two things grew
Speaker 1: up near.
Speaker 2: Right, So actually having a commentator is extremely helpful when
Speaker 2: you're trying to understand what's happening and like the nuances
Speaker 2: that there's no way our untrained eye could see.
Speaker 1: Yeah, some of the but we know some of them
Speaker 1: talk too much, some of them don't talk enough, and
Speaker 1: explain anything and add anything. Some of them are just
Speaker 1: there's all kinds of ways to describe. But our favorite
Speaker 1: who knew men's gymnastics. The commentary on Peacock has been
Speaker 1: from Justin Spring, who was a member of the two
Speaker 1: thousand and eight Yes Beijing, Beijing bronze medal winning US
Speaker 1: men's team. He I want to applaud this dude because
Speaker 1: he has been walking us through things in the simplest
Speaker 1: and easy It was just a common way of speaking
Speaker 1: to you. And even at times it was I remember
Speaker 1: when he I told you, he said, okay, you see
Speaker 1: that right there. You don't even know what you just saw, folks,
Speaker 1: But let me tell you what happened. It wasn't condescending.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh wait, on the age of my seat, what.
Speaker 2: Did I miss?
Speaker 1: He has been brilliant, Justin Spring, just by being simple
Speaker 1: and elegant in the way he speaks. But I just
Speaker 1: I love the guy.
Speaker 2: I love that you gave him a shout out too,
Speaker 2: because you know, we say often and I think anyone
Speaker 2: who has been in a position of broadcasting or telling
Speaker 2: the world something that they may not fully understand. It's
Speaker 2: not easy. It's really hard to do this sort of thing.
Speaker 2: So when you see someone do it that, well, it's
Speaker 2: important to point it out.
Speaker 1: I love that simply. He just being a good direct communicator.
Speaker 1: And I waited. I was going to tell you ahead
Speaker 1: of time this little nugget, but I was afraid then
Speaker 1: you wouldn't want me to actually give him a shout out.
Speaker 1: He's a commentator, but his day job, he is actually
Speaker 1: a gymnastics coach, assistant coach at the University of Alabama.
Speaker 2: Oh man, I was waiting for, like, why would this
Speaker 2: person somehow not be someone I would support. I know, No,
Speaker 2: it's fine, it's fine. I'll forgive him for that.
Speaker 1: It's okay. Go dogs.
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness. So we have, as we mentioned, like gymnastics,
Speaker 2: women's gymnastics, must see today, must see for anyone who's
Speaker 2: listening out there. But we have some things that we
Speaker 2: are excited about watching as well. We mentioned the US
Speaker 2: women's soccer that is something that we are going to
Speaker 2: be very excited about. And we've got what else, the
Speaker 2: US men's basketball against Serbia.
Speaker 1: Yeah and no, normally you would hear that and you go, yeah, Servie.
Speaker 1: They should be able to take care of business against Serbia.
Speaker 1: Serbia has a three time NBA MVP Okola the Joker.
Speaker 2: Oh Nikola, So we'll be playing against one of their own.
Speaker 1: From a big guy that they know and they know
Speaker 1: well so so the the Joker is on that team.
Speaker 1: So that's always look forward to them and US women
Speaker 1: the rugby. Let's give them a shout out their start
Speaker 1: their Olympic campaign today. I think we've never won a
Speaker 1: medal in ugby at the Olympics. I believe I have
Speaker 1: that right. So that's one of those things we don't
Speaker 1: normally get to see and root for a USA rugby teams.
