Speaker 2: Will we start with the five rings and then we

00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 2: go to two guys and then we do another bread

5
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 2: in the sandwich of five rings? Do we start with

Speaker 2: A recognition recognition.

12
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 1: This podcast is just like what it's like a game

13
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: of really Olympic sport beach volleyball, you know what I mean,

14
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 1: back and forth and fourth and back the ball.

15
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 2: Oh my god, the ball goes and the men die.

00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 2: just catch up. Yes, we have kind of this is

18
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 2: our time checking in with each other since the podcast

19
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 2: is sort of making waves.

20
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: Taken off, has taken off in such a way. Yeah, no,

21
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: this podcast is now a cultural excision in its own right.

22
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: Things have really taken off, thank god. And I think

23
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: since I've last saw you, I guess my big headline

24
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 1: is I went on a little vacation. I went to

25
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: the Poconos, where I took port. In took port. I

26
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: just took port, or I took port in some Olympic sports.

27
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:34,199
Speaker 1: I did golf. I watched beach volleyball happen. I saw

28
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: some sailing happen. But I did golf. I played golf.

29
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 2: That's amazing. Do you feel like an Olympia in a way?

30
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 2: Certainly no.

31
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 1: I think in order to feel like an olympiaan in golf,

32
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: you'd have to be able to hit a drive? Do

33
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: you know what that is? Do you know golf at all?

34
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 2: I couldn't. I can tell you what a mulligan is.

35
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 2: I think, well, you're better than me.

36
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: Is a mulligan outside of being the surname of the

37
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: great actress carry a mulligan is he's.

38
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 2: Laying up everyone, so he can't actually tell me. So yeah,

39
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 2: I couldn't tell you. A mulligan is a second chance

40
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 2: to perform an action, usually after the first chance went wrong.

41
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 2: So mulligan ENGLF where the player is allowed to replay

42
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 2: a stroke.

43
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: M h I'm gonna say I had my mulligan all

00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: Would you be intimidated to date an Olympian? Like if

51
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: an Olympian got in the DMS and was like, hey,

52
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: it's me Olympic bronze, silver, gold medalist, doesn't really matter.

56
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,400

57
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 2: who's in everyone's DM or very own Olympic trials. This

58
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,120

00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 2: even be listening to this very podcast and we say

60
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 2: shout out so the Olympians you're out there. I would

61
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 2: be intimidated to answer your question, yes, because I have

62
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 2: done the thought experiment and went I'm not worthy. This

63
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,440

Speaker 1: was like, I'm nervous. I'm nervous. This is an Olympian.

Speaker 1: they're just gals, They're just regular folks like us. So

71
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: that's one of the things I want to set an

Speaker 2: of this podcast as a cultural institution, we can reveal

88
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 2: at this time that Matt and I are maybe being

89
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 2: offered a spot on the ioc I. We might have

90
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 2: a hand in picking out the next city.

91
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: Where would be your ideal spot? Brooklyn, Provincetown, Provincetown, you know, honestly,

92
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: Brooklyn will be cute because it's right here. Province down

93
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: would be amazing because it's so beautiful in the summer,

94
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: in the community. I think it'll be huge for the

95
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: gays to host, really, because then the gays would be

96
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: hosting the Olympics, and that would be fun.

97
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 2: That would be so fun a gay host. I love it. Yeah,

98
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 2: but listen to bring it back to Paris.

99
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 1: You know those swimmers were swimming. Did you catch any

100
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: of the Olympics im trials?

101
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 2: I am being told of the moments? Yeah, and did you?

102
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 1: So basically, like, I just want to say one thing.

103
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: Katie Ladeci, she really is no joke. Her reputation precedes her.

104
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 1: But then you watch her and you understand why reputation

105
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: capital are in this case is why that reputation is

106
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 1: what it is. Did you see the video of Katie

107
00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: Ladecci swimming in the water with a glass of chocolate

108
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: milk on her head and it doesn't fall off.

109
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 2: Now, that is just a flex. What we call a

110
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 2: flex in the industry. That's what we call ego.

111
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: Listen, Katie, that is what we.

112
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 2: Call diva behavior.

113
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 1: Truly, honestly, as a lover of chocolate milk, do you

114
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: love chocolate milk?

115
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 2: I haven't had it in decades.

116
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: So you're not even really it's not even on the

117
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: brain for you.

118
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,239
Speaker 2: I would gladly accept a glass of it right now.

119
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 2: I just it's not what I go for. It's not

120
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 2: what's available. Like, let's talk about dairy for a second.

121
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 2: I would love to. I was just talking about this

122
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 2: with a friend. Imagine you're out to dinner in a

123
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 2: nice restaurant and let's say an Olympian you're on a

124
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 2: date with is like we have a glass of milk. Yeah.

125
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 2: I would be turned on personally.

126
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: The boldness that that has, the consciousness of osteoporosis that

127
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: that has. I have to say, there was a time

128
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: in American culture where osteoporosis was one of the top

129
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: three things we were worried about, and now that fear

130
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: is just gone. There was a time when they used

131
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: to say, you have to have to drink two full

132
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: glasses of milk a day to get the calcium that

133
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: you need, or you run the rist of osco porosis, which,

134
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: by the way, my grandmother described as end i quote,

135
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: not a day in the park.

136
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 2: And she said ostioporosis was not a day in the park.

137
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: And now all of a sudden, we're not even thinking

138
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: about it. They're saying milk. They're saying milk. Couldn't even

139
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: get arrested.

140
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 2: Milk. You're not cracking the top twenty issues that Americans

141
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 2: care about.

142
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: Because with inflation, honey, honey, inflation Number one is inflation,

143
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: uh huh? Number two, International affairs number three, Chapel r oone,

144
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: number four, culture wars, number five, when is Severan's coming back?

145
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 2: And then maybe number six osteoporosis. This is so maybe

146
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 2: it's it's certainly top ten, it's not top five, but

147
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 2: that is something that we could all rally behind. Ostioporosis

148
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 2: was like the thing there were no party lines with osteoporosis.

149
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: Because everyone has bones. Everyone has bones, and so this

150
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: is something that we could really get together.

151
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 2: Now, this is all to lead us into a discussion

152
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 2: about we've got to bring it back to Paris, we

153
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 2: got to bring it back to Paris. Well, today we're

154
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 2: talking about the top Olympic moments, and there are a

155
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 2: lot of them. I would say the unit of measurement

156
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 2: in the Olympics is moments. It's not events. It's not

157
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 2: even the people, it's not the metals. It is the moments.

158
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: You remember the moments most of all. By the way,

159
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: I'm looking at these moments and I'm so happy to

160
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: see a couple of moments here that I was actually

161
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: watching live in the flesh.

162
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 2: Oh, the Katie Ldeki moment. Absolutely, all the swimming trials

163
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 2: we have engagement to talk about. We have a sixteen

164
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 2: year old track and field record break that just happened

165
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 2: very recently. This is all leading up to Paris. Needless

166
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 2: to say, this is shaping up to be an exciting

167
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 2: Olympics before it's even begun.

168
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: We which of course means in French, I so agree

169
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: with you. Yes, And I think that first of all,

170
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,719
Speaker 1: I do want to say l Deci that is it's

171
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: kind of like, of course it's going to be exciting

172
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: to watch her win, but when someone is so much

173
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: better than everyone else. You kind of do lose a

174
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,079
Speaker 1: little bit of the suspense, like we're just gonna be

175
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: watching this woman dominate and that's earned, but you know,

176
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: you wish.

177
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 2: For a little bit more suspensia. There's suspensia to be

178
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 2: found where you will find it if you are seeking

179
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 2: it out. And I am let Katy be the Beyonce.

180
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 2: I would say, Katy le Decci is the Beyonce of

181
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 2: the Olympics this year.

182
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: Wow, that's a huge title to be given the title

183
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: of the Beyonce of the Olympics. Now, she's got to come.

184
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 2: On the podcast, Katie. Open invite Katie.

185
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: We do very well with people with your first name.

186
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: That's all I'm going to say. We do very well

187
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: with you and your type and your ilk and your ilk. Now,

188
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: let's just quickly talk about the top moments that are

189
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: not going to be considering the totality of the Olympics

190
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: of record. But let's just say in these trial moments first,

191
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: I want to talk about these record breaks. Okay, So

192
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: twenty thousand people witnessed the first of the nine day

193
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:36,199
Speaker 1: trials in Indianapolis, record attendance for an endorsement meat, which

194
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 1: did not last long because Wednesday's event were an even

195
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: larger turnout, the USA Swiming announced a new attendant circuit

196
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: of twenty two two hundred and nine. And that wasn't

197
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: the only record broken on Wednesday. Matt Fallon captured the

198
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: American record by finishing the two hundred meter breaststroke in

199
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: get this two minutes end six point five four seconds.

200
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: Least timers are precise, let me tell you something they

201
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: need to be, because if anything was extremely clear in

202
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: the trials, it's that this comes down to literal milliseconds.

203
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: I was watching like a few of the heats, and

204
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: you know, you don't qualify if you're like zero point

205
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: three away from where the front runner was. It is

206
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: heartbreaking to watch it come down to that tiny, tiny,

207
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: tiny difference, which you have to think they're prepared for,

208
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 1: but it is crushing to watch someone just lose by

209
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: point oh eight and not even lose but come in

210
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,079
Speaker 1: six or something, because that's how close it was between

211
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: the top six.

212
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 2: It's wild not even lose, just like not qualify for

213
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 2: the next heat like that is I can barely conceptualize

214
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 2: time in my everyday life, where I'm thinking in terms

215
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 2: of minutes and hours, maybe like for a tenth or

216
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 2: one hundredth of a second to determine my career. That

217
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 2: is that is wild, and we apply all of you.

218
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 1: We applaud you all, and honestly, like, let's just hope

219
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: that these timers are worth their salt, because sometimes I'm

220
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,839
Speaker 1: looking in the ocean, and by the ocean, I mean

221
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: the pool where they swim, the pool. Sometimes I'm looking

222
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: in that ocean and I see them all hit the

223
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 1: wall at one time, and I'm like, I'm sorry, but

224
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 1: who can say?

225
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 2: Who can say who was first?

226
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: Like I guess they got those special cameras, they got

227
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: those special clocks, like it's up to them, but really

228
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 1: very stressful, you don't want to mess up.

229
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:34,439
Speaker 2: I agree. We're putting a lot of faith in technology

230
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 2: and cyfficle timer technology, camera technology. Matt Fallon, well done, sister,

231
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 2: twenty one year old legend who narrowly surpassed Josh Preno's

232
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 2: time from twenty sixteen to qualify for Paris, alongside seventeen

233
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 2: year old Thomas Heilman, who becomes the youngest US main

234
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 2: Olympic swimmers since Michael Phelps debuted at age fifteen in

235
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 2: two thousand. These are the future stars, current stars. Yeah,

236
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 2: current stars. I mean this is current events are happening

237
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 2: as we speak. Imagine your thing being the breastroke, Like

238
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 2: you're so good at the breastroke, Like it is unreal

239
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 2: how good you are at the breastroke. Because you think like, oh,

240
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 2: you want to become a swimmer, like you're doing freestyle, like.

241
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: Backstroke, breaststroke. These are really leisurely activities you do to

242
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: get to and fro in the water. But in this

243
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: Olympic arena you can be a breaststroke speedster, a back

244
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: stroke raptor.

245
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 2: Oh my god, okay, you better be a backstroker raptor

246
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 2: if you're gonna qualify. If twenty two thousand people have

247
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 2: their eyes, if you have forty four thousand eyes on.

248
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: You, twenty two thousand.

249
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 2: That's crazy. I doubled it because of eyes. I'm being

250
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 2: ablest and assuming everyone has two eyes and they might not,

251
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry.

252
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: Well, speaking of two, it takes two people to get engaged.

253
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: Listen to this headline. Lily King got engaged after qualifying

254
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,839
Speaker 1: for her second event. Five time Olympic medalist, Lily King

255
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 1: collected two new pieces of jewelry Thursday night at the

256
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,839
Speaker 1: US Olympic Swimming Trials. Moments after finishing in second place

257
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: behind Kate Douglas in the two hundred meter breast stroke

258
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: at Lucas Oil Stadium to qualify for her second event

259
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty four Paris Olympics, King's boyfriend James Wells,

260
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: proposed to her as she made her way out of

261
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: the pool into the warm down area. Video of the

262
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: moment was shared soon after on social media by USA

263
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: Swimming and NBAC Sports. I don't know if I would

264
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: be particularly open to this moment while I'm dehydrated, sweating, stressed,

265
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: my eyes are, my head is spinning, and then my

266
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:42,359
Speaker 1: man gets.

267
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 2: On one knee.

268
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: Uh, I guess your most vulnerable and open well.

269
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 2: I mean, couldn't you have at least gotten her a

270
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 2: blowout station before the big moment. Give this woman a

271
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 2: damn blowout before she puts a ring on her finger.

272
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, let her get her blow out, Let her go,

273
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: put her shoulder pads on, let her plan her spontaneity.

274
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: That's the thing about surprise engagements is like you kind

275
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: of have to tip it to the lady a little

276
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: bit so they can feel like you know, they're on

277
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: top of themselves for their own moment, you know what

278
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: I mean?

279
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 2: What's it called very millennial thing? When a whole bunch

280
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 2: of people start to dance in Unison. Oh, that of

281
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 2: course is a flash mob. Flash mob? Yeah? Is this

282
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 2: the new flash mob moment? Us qualifying trials?

283
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: That's why there are so many twenty two thousand.

284
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 2: Two, that is a flash mob.

285
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: Mama gets out of the water, like like Lily k

286
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: gets out of the water. I was gonna say, love it,

287
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: just like everyone in the everyone there doing like left shark,

288
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: right shark, like just kind of giving that mid choreos

289
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: that they always give during a flash mob. And literally

290
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: just think about James Wells King's boyfriend just sort of

291
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: doing a little dance as he walks up to her.

292
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: Cut to Lily King, who's just out of the water.

293
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 2: Like oh my.

294
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: God, baby babe, No, oh my god, baby baby, and

295
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: she's freaking out, and then he gets on one knee

296
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: and like, I guess you'd have to get married then

297
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: once someone organizes a flash mob, which we're not saying

298
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: that James Wells did, in fact, you did not, but

299
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: in this moment, it's like he attempted grandeur, and you

300
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: know she's gotta say yes.

301
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 2: She's got to say Although I'm looking at pictures of

302
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 2: the moment, it's very sweet. I'm smiling. She seems happy,

303
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 2: he seems happy. He's a burly fellow, is he? These

304
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 2: are people who could both of them could literally move

305
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 2: a mountain. These are like actual Olympians in the sense

306
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 2: that they can control the elements. They have this strength.

307
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: I've googled, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

308
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 2: This. She looks very thrilled. This is sweet.

309
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: So you have to imagine if you're going to propose

310
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: to your girlfriend at the Olympics when everyone is watching,

311
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: you probably know about her that she's the type of

312
00:16:58,800 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: girl that would want that.

313
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 2: Definitely, this is just her job. This is the thing.

314
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 2: Like we can't really put too much gravitas or stakes

315
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 2: in these moments. Like for them, it's just like, oh yeah,

316
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,959
Speaker 2: like another day at the office.

317
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 1: Another day absolutely slanging in the office, qualifying for my

318
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: second event and getting a ring on my finger.

319
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 2: As Jennifer Lawrence, an American hustle said, I got a

320
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 2: ring on my finger, yeah, and an USCAR nominated performance.

321
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 2: We absolutely am And then another moment, a sixteen year

322
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 2: old stunner at track and field trials in Eugene, Oregon.

323
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 2: We have a sprinting phenomenon and intersectional A straight A

324
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 2: student give it up for Quincy Wilson, who had already

325
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 2: become a true future star of American track and field.

326
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 2: With bullet emblazon across the front of his uniform, Wilson

327
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 2: ran four hundred meters in forty four point six seconds,

328
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 2: shattering the under eighteen world record and breaking an American record.

329
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 1: I can stop carrying this heavy burd in period. So

330
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: this is how far we've made it. When I mentioned

331
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: until I mentioned my mile time, which was four minutes

332
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: and thirty six seconds. Wow, And I just wanted to

333
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 1: bring up my four hundred times. So he ran a

334
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: forty four point sixty six seconds. I did a fifty

335
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,719
Speaker 1: four in high school and was busting my ass. Couldn't

336
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 1: have even dreamed of going faster. So ten seconds faster

337
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: than that.

338
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 2: And were you a straight A student actually, Bowen?

339
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 1: Yes, I actually was a straight A student until I

340
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: stopped caring at math, and I took like a very

341
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: very very easy course, like a regent's course we called it.

342
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: I took statistics and I got an A in that,

343
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 1: but probably wasn't an a student in math in the

344
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: way that you would qualify as like a typical very

345
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 1: good student.

346
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 2: But I just didn't try. You don't know me. You

347
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 2: don't know what I qualify statistics basically very hard.

348
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I guess it depends. But it was pretty

349
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: it was. It was pretty easy stuff. But you know,

350
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: I'm not calling myself any Quincy Wilson. I'm just saying,

351
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,439
Speaker 1: you know, this is about Quincy. He's He's done an

352
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: amazing work.

353
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm starting to get jealous of Quincy Wilson

354
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 2: because here's this other little morsel. They they as a

355
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 2: new balance. Let him design his own racing singlet damn

356
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 2: with the Maryland state flag pattern. This is a truth.

357
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 1: That's the dream.

358
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 2: That's the dream. Oh and this is a good design

359
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 2: he did, like the pixel camo black and white with

360
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 2: a pop of yellow. This boy knows color theory. This

361
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 2: boy's a legend.

362
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: Oh wow, yeah he looks great.

363
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 2: Wow.

364
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 1: These kids are so young.

365
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 2: These are young kids, and we celebrate their achievements. Go off,

366
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 2: my gosh, go off kids. Our future, I believe.

367
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: And now we have to change the melody.

368
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 2: So we don't get to children our future. Yes you

369
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,919
Speaker 2: wanted to say, what he's Houston preacher's way. Only loved Whitney,

370
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 2: only loved to Whitney. Let's take a quick break, and

371
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 2: when we come back, we are going to go through

372
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 2: the top Olympic moments throughout history. End time.

373
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: We are back, we're about to go through some of

374
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 1: the top moments across all Olympics history. And then of

375
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 1: course we're gonna award our gold, silver, and bronze medal.

376
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: How about this, bo we all remember where we were.

377
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: If we were someone that was cognizant in nineteen ninety two,

378
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: couldn't be us.

379
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 2: We were only two years old children.

380
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: When Derek Redmond was at the nineteen ninety two of

381
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: Barcelona Olympics and he competed in the four hundred meters.

382
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: A hamstring injury forced him to pull up during his

383
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 1: semi final heat. Redmond decided to limp on to finish

384
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: the race before his dad, Jim, ran onto the track

385
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 1: to help his son continue and put his arm around

386
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: his son's waist. Crowd give a standing ovation, and just

387
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: before the finish line, Jim let go so Derek, who

388
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 1: was in tears, could finish on his own. Sometimes, Daddy

389
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:09,439
Speaker 1: help my Daddy said, Shoot, I'm coming down to the

390
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 1: track and helping you across the finish line like a father.

391
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: Do I love my father. I just got to meet

392
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: him for the second time.

393
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm so glad. I felt as.

394
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: Though this was a man who would hop onto the

395
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 1: track and help his son across the finish line.

396
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 2: He absolutely would.

397
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: Like if you were ever doing an SNL sketch and

398
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 1: you got the yips, I just know that Ruland would

399
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 1: jump down from the stand and he would finish the sketch.

400
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 2: Well, honey, I've had the yips at SNL for years

401
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 2: and he hasn't shown it. One.

402
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,360
Speaker 1: That's not true. You're not categorizing this in a correct way.

403
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 1: You only ever deliver it a girl you don't know,

404
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:51,360
Speaker 1: speaking of daddy. This number two, we have Michael Phelps

405
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: eight gold medals in the Lwait Bajing Olympics. And that

406
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: was a moment.

407
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 2: Oh, total moment.

408
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: I mean, and he hosted Speaking of he hosted the

409
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 1: premiere after this happened. Remember that.

410
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure Lauren was like, well, he has to

411
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 2: get to eight otherwise he's not hostating Otherwise You're just

412
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 2: not interesting. No one knows who he is. It's so interesting.

413
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: He see he was. He had a quest for eight medals.

414
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: It was nearly derailed. In his second race, the four

415
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 1: by one relay, Phelps, his teammate, an anchor swimmer on

416
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: the US relay, Jason Lezak, entered the water more than

417
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: half a second behind the French team, but he managed

418
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 1: to finish ahead by eight hundredths of a second with

419
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 1: the fastest ever relay leg Thank you, Jason, Thanks Jason.

420
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: And then the seventh event final, the one hundred meter butterfly,

421
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 1: Phelps hung on to win by an even closer margin,

422
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: just one hundredth of a second. Okay, Like this is

423
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: what I'm saying.

424
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 2: It's crazy for the lag to be half a second

425
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 2: behind the French team, to be like devastating, is devastating

426
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 2: to think about.

427
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: Mm hmmmm hm.

428
00:22:55,320 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 2: But Michael, you legend you have. You have earned your

429
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 2: name in the annals of history, Olympics history, which is

430
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 2: best represented on this podcast. Two Guys five Rings one

431
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 2: of the best pieces of Olympics content ever created.

432
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: Get this Two Guys five Rings. One ankle destroyed. Oh

433
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: during a vault.

434
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 2: I know you're talking about Carrie Strug.

435
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: Carries this is number three moment number three. In her

436
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: first of two vaults, Strug sat down on the landing

437
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,679
Speaker 1: and injured her ankle, very very hard to watch. She

438
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 1: was unsure she could vault a second time, but decided

439
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: to attempt it as she thought her second vault was

440
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: needed to ensure that the US would get the gold.

441
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 1: After limping back to the end of the runway, she

442
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: took the vault, landed briefly on both feet before instantly

443
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: hopping onto the uninjured food. She then collapsed to her

444
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: knees and needed help off the competition floor. Eventually, her coach,

445
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: Bella COOLi, carried Strug onto the metal podium to join

446
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,640
Speaker 1: her teammates the rest of the Magnific seven. Now this

447
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,479
Speaker 1: is an interesting one because yes, we love that Kerrie

448
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 1: was able to, you know, you know, fight through it

449
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: to get the gold. But also you know, mama's food

450
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 1: could have snapped off at a certain point. It's like,

451
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: but what about her foot?

452
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 2: What about her foot? I mean, do you think Bella,

453
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:21,159
Speaker 2: mister Bella like got what was going on? Like I

454
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 2: don't know, but Bella is of course nicon. I mean,

455
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 2: who could forget the mustache and the Magnificent seven.

456
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: He actually he kind of is a prototype. He's kind

457
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: of like a daddy prototype, like Bella Coroli. Like you

458
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: see a lot of guys walking around Brooklyn trying to

459
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 1: serve that. You know, I always say, Bowen Yang very

460
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 1: powerful with a mustache.

461
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 2: I wish I could grow on irl.

462
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,679
Speaker 1: I see you trying right now, I see you character.

463
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: I know Bowen is shooting a film and his character

464
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: has a little bit of facial hair. It's a little

465
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 1: grungey because you want because isn't this your most adult

466
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: role yet?

467
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I'm this is your most They're.

468
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: Saying, this is a huge this is a huge career transition.

469
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: He's finally doing a grown up adult role. Like, this

470
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: is your this is your transition, this is your Miley

471
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: Cyrus last.

472
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 2: Song, Yes, oh my god, Last Saw was that the

473
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 2: movie that really got her into adult that.

474
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 1: Most famous example a transition to adulthoods Oh my god.

475
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 1: People are really going to be listening to this, Like

476
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 1: when will they talk about the Olympics, Like, you can't

477
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 1: deny we have been talking about it, but certainly it's not.

478
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 2: But we we in essence, we haven't talked about the Olympics.

479
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: I wouldn't change a thing, just like you know who

480
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: i'd else bet wouldn't change a thing. Abby Dagasina and

481
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: Nicki Hamblin, Oh, this was an international moment of peace

482
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,919
Speaker 1: and cooperation in friendship. Talk about it well, as we

483
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: all remember in Rio twenty sixteen. I mean, forget the

484
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 1: Tonguan guy, which we'll get to our king.

485
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 2: This was let me set the scene. Go ahead. Nicki

486
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:09,919
Speaker 2: Hamblin from New Zealand, stumbled and fell on the trap. Dougustina,

487
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 2: who was right behind Hamblin, tripped over her. Instead of continuing,

488
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 2: Queen Abbey stopped to make sure Nicki could get up.

489
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 2: Both athletes resumed the race, but Dougustinas sooner realized she

490
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,160
Speaker 2: was injured and fell to the ground too. You can't

491
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:32,679
Speaker 2: write this this time. Hamlin is the one who stops

492
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 2: to check on Augustino. They both managed across the finish line,

493
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,199
Speaker 2: handled more than ninety seconds behind the winner of the

494
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,679
Speaker 2: heat and Augustina more than two minutes back. But this

495
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 2: was something that made you say, this is the human spirit.

496
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,479
Speaker 2: This is part of the human condition, for all the

497
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 2: pain and suffering that defines life. As a human being

498
00:26:55,280 --> 00:27:00,360
Speaker 2: on this planet, in an inhospitable world, there are moments

499
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 2: of gorgeous friendship and care and mutual aid. And this

500
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,120
Speaker 2: is what the Olympics are all about. I I could cry.

501
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 2: I am crying. You are you know what this makes

502
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 2: me think of?

503
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 1: Like they were the original Charli XCX and Lord, like

504
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 1: when they stopped and they said they worked it out

505
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 1: on the remix, like they worked it out on the tracks.

506
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:30,639
Speaker 2: They did like.

507
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: Remix, but they basically like, if you don't know what

508
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: we're talking about, listen to Girls So Confusing version with

509
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: Lord from Charli XCX and then go back and watch this.

510
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 2: It's literally New Zealand. Yeah, New Zealand. And let's pretend

511
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 2: Charlie's from the USA.

512
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 1: Let's just pretend.

513
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 2: This moment was giving you. I'm glad, I know how

514
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 2: you feel because they Rightie.

515
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 1: This literally someone needs some that listens to this podcast

516
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 1: needs to take a clip from Abby Dagersina and Nikki

517
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: Hemblin and put it to Girls Show Confusing Remix with Thorn.

518
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 1: You have to please do it for us that can't

519
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: because we don't have the same head. Yeah they say

520
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: we have the same head.

521
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 2: We're just two gay men living in this world, and

522
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 2: our next moment is one gay man being.

523
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: Diving off a board.

524
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 2: I think, to me, Greg Luganis is like one of

525
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 2: the most compelling interesting Like I'm just gonna say this

526
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 2: is my contender for gold medal. I'm just gonna come

527
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 2: out there and say it because Greg, can I say something?

528
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: I agree with you too, And let's just reveal Greg

529
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 1: Luganis wins the gold medal for this episode, Like we

530
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: are standing, we are we are we are gay men

531
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 1: supporting gay men, Okay.

532
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 2: And this is a moment, the Greg Luganis moment off

533
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 2: the diving board is a moment that could have enveloped

534
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 2: society and gay shame. And yet we are here to

535
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 2: tell you thirty six years later that we are more

536
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 2: prideful than ever. Matt, I want you to tell the

537
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 2: people about the story of Greg Luganis. It was the

538
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty eight Soul Olympics.

539
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: Okay, in the preliminary round of men's springboard diving, Greg

540
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 1: Luganas struck his head on the springboard.

541
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 2: During his ninth dive.

542
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: He collapsed into the water, earning a score of six

543
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: point three to zero points.

544
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 2: Back cluster.

545
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: Before the final dive, he received several stitches from a

546
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: US team doctor and easily qualified.

547
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 2: For the final, which he won comfortably.

548
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: Seven years later, Luguanus not only publicly came out of

549
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: gay but also revealed that he was HIV positive and

550
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: had been at the time of the Soul Olympics. Luganus

551
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 1: admitted he worried that his head injury had possibly contaminated

552
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: the water and risked infecting other divers, and also struggled

553
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: over whether he should have the team doctor about its

554
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: HIV positive status. Mario Lopez played Louganis in a memorable

555
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: made for TV movie adaptation, Breaking the Surface. This was

556
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: the definition of overcoming.

557
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 2: I I literally was about to say, there needs to

558
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 2: be a movie made about this.

559
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: And you know what, when I looked at the document,

560
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: I thought, Wow, Greg Luganis looks a lot like Mario Lopez.

561
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 1: And then I realized in the document, our producers had

562
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: been kind enough to put the poster for Breaking the Surface,

563
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,239
Speaker 1: the Greg Luganas story in the document, and it is

564
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 1: Mario Lopez. So actually, we'll never be able to know

565
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 1: how much they look alike. We'll never be able to know.

566
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 1: Can I reveal something about my personal history. You may

567
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: always in the early days, as in the early days

568
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 1: of the Internet and the early days of my life,

569
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: in the time that I was grappling with the fact

570
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: that I was maybe attracted to the sense at the end,

571
00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:00,040
Speaker 1: one of the Googles that would come up would be

572
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: Mario Lopez shirtless, Mario Lopez shirtless all the time. But

573
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 1: I'm all I also to tell you something I'm looking

574
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: at Greg luganis this man knows no slouch.

575
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 2: Greg is forever a hunk. Who but Mario Lopez. And

576
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 2: what would come up thanks to j Lo after she

577
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 2: wore the Versace dress which led to Google in research

578
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 2: being a thing, was I had a trope of Mario Lopez,

579
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 2: as Greg luganis, pictures of him in a little speedo

580
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 2: and me going, that'll do pig, That really will do pig.

581
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: And you know what I mean, like in many ways

582
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 1: bo because Greg luganis dove, Mario Lopez.

583
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 2: Was able to pretend to dive or act diving.

584
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: So that you could grow up be gay, make gay friends,

585
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: me being one of them. We could make our gay

586
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 1: podcast and it would lead to us having this gay

587
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: podcast about sports and I honestly feel like for this

588
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: episode to end with us commemorating Greg Luganis and being

589
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: able to say thank you and giving him a gold

590
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: medal arbor Charlie, because that's how we feel today as

591
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 1: hosts of this podcast. Two Guys, Five Rings.

592
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 2: Life is so beautiful. I'm still crying. I'm still crying.

593
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 2: This is why Greg Lugainis wins the gold medal. I

594
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 2: just want to quickly talk about some other moments. I

595
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 2: have a lot of moments. I mean, it's the Olympics,

596
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 2: after all, It's made of moments. Of course, we have

597
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 2: Michael Johnson at the ninety six Atlanta Olympics. We have

598
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 2: the Tongan king at the opening ceremony four Rio Peta Tafatofua.

599
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 2: Truly like everyone thirsting, the whole one of like the

600
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 2: pure moments of like global unity. One thought, yeah, global thirstrugh,

601
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 2: Everyone's like that is one of the most wonderful men

602
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 2: to ever exist. Usain Bolt at several Olympics at this point,

603
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 2: just dominating in the field. Atlanta women's soccer for the

604
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 2: American team and women's basketball for both the Atlanta Games

605
00:32:57,920 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 2: and Tokyo in twenty twenty and.

606
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: Don't fork at the Fierce five. But you know, Carrie

607
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: strug is folded into that a little bit that she

608
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 1: was a part of the Magnificent and seven. But I

609
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 1: love when the gymnasts like to name their group. It

610
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: reminds me of like when a group of high school

611
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 1: girls would have a name for their group of friends.

612
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 2: Did you have them at your school? We didn't really

613
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 2: have them at high school.

614
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: One group of girls at my high school named themselves

615
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 1: the stillett Hose still let and then instead of Stiletto's

616
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 1: they were still at Hose. I understand, very millennial, like

617
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: we want to go up to be sluts ideology without

618
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: really understanding what that is, but.

619
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 2: Like also not you're having a full grasp on the

620
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 2: wordplay still att Hoses doesn't really roll off.

621
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 1: And then there was another thing, so that was I

622
