1
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: Wednesday, August seventh, and Team USA still on top. US

2
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:11,040
Speaker 1: athletes have now won a total of eighty six Olympic medals.

3
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: China has fifty nine medals, and France remains in third

4
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: place with forty eight medals. And France actually didn't pick

5
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: up a medal at all during competition yesterday.

6
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 2: Woan wow when well, welcome to this tea from Perry

7
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 2: edition of Amy and TJ. Everybody. Team USA also now

8
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 2: leads in the gold medal count, and two of those

9
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 2: came in dramatic and spectacular fashion yesterday. That's right.

10
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,239
Speaker 1: The first was in the fifteen hundred final where American

11
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: Cole Hawker pulled off a stunning upset, and then in

12
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 1: the women's two hundred meter final where American Gabby Thomas dominated.

13
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 1: But after her win, did anyone notice how the commentators

14
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 1: spoke about her?

15
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 2: Also in this episode, the women's floor final that had

16
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 2: all that scoring drama, remember well that drama ain't over yet.

17
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 2: Could Jordan Childs actually have her bronze medal taken away?

18
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 2: After Romania Lodge is a protest to once again review scores.

19
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 2: This as Romania's Prime Minister says he's going to now

20
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 2: boycott the closing ceremony.

21
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: And the US women's soccer team continues to be the

22
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: most fun and anxiety inducing team to watch. Plus gold

23
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: medals for two athletes yesterday whose names you probably do

24
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: not know, but they might be the two most dominant

25
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: athletes at the Olympics. And what exactly is the steeple chase?

26
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: Why is it in the Olympics? And why is there

27
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 1: a puddle of water right in the middle of the track.

28
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 2: It's a fun one to watch, but it is a

29
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 2: little weird, even people that run and have fun about

30
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 2: calling it weird. We just thought we'd give you a

31
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 2: little steeplechase history here in just a bit. We'll get

32
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 2: into that in a second. But every morning here, as

33
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 2: per usual, we are watching live events and you make

34
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 2: fun of me because you usually come out and I'll

35
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 2: tell you what I've been crying about in the morning,

36
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 2: and what did we just see? And what did you

37
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 2: just say? Right the final? And you we will.

38
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: We've been watching speed climbing, and really all of the climbing,

39
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: but the speed climbing is so much fun. It's over

40
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: with in less than six seconds usually, and it's just

41
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: a fun nail biting on the edge of your seat event.

42
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: And so we just saw the women's finals and we

43
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: won't say who won, but it was a very sweet

44
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: moment when she won gold and came out and I

45
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: guess it was her boyfriend or her husband. I don't know,

46
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: but just to see the love and his excitement for

47
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: her and her excitement at winning, it was just it

48
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: was those are the beautiful moments, and you find yourself

49
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: getting swept up in the emotion of it and tears

50
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: falling down your face for an athlete who wasn't even

51
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: one of your country men or women.

52
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 2: Why do girls do that? I'm looking at you right now, folks.

53
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 2: You all can't see robes, but just you talking about

54
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 2: her and her boyfriend. You just you did your shoulders up,

55
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:48,959
Speaker 2: did you talk to her boyfriend?

56
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: You did a little You're right, you know, that's what

57
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: it is. And I love seeing these athletes getting because

58
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 1: they couldn't do what they do probably if they didn't

59
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: have the support of the people around them. So it's

60
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: just fun. You know, we haven't seen fans, We haven't

61
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: seen boyfriends and girlfriends and moms and dads being able

62
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: to be there and supporting their athletes. So it's just

63
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: been so that's what's been missing in the last couple

64
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: of Olympics, and so to see it all now on display,

65
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: it just it's extra beautiful.

66
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 2: You're right. It is added to the enjoyment of watching

67
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 2: these Olympics, certainly versus the last one. I think the

68
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 2: numbers have proven that as well as far as the ratings.

69
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 2: But the other thing we watched yesterday, and I don't

70
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 2: know why we've been missing. We should have prioritized this more,

71
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 2: the synchronized swimming or artistic swimming, sorry, artistic swimming, but

72
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 2: we caught a little bit of it yesterday and I'm like, wow,

73
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 2: I've been missing this.

74
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: It's remarkable. It's basically taking all of the talent of

75
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: Olympic swimmers and all of the talent of Olympic gymnasts

76
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: and putting them together. I mean, I think it's remarkable

77
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: what they're able to do, how they're able to be

78
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: upside down in the water and mimicking exactly what their

79
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: teammates are doing. I am blown away and spectacular all

80
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: at the same time.

81
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 2: I think I have missed I think the sport has

82
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 2: changed a lot since I was watching it. Most because

83
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 2: I cover some Olympics, and I've done some work with

84
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 2: synchronized swimming teams and interviews, and I studied a little bit,

85
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 2: but the how elaborate the routine is getting into the

86
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 2: water is what I am like a little more.

87
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: We were laughing because it's there's something odd about all

88
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: of these people kind of looking exactly alike and then

89
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: doing the exact same thing. It doesn't seem real, but

90
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 1: remarkably it is. And this year men two men I

91
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: think can be on each team, which is a new

92
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: development from Olympics past. But it is definitely worth watching.

93
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 2: But the last shout out here in the coverage, and

94
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 2: maybe you all have noticed again, Robes, you've been to

95
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 2: a lot of Olympics. I've just been to or just

96
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 2: been to a couple. I don't remember. The athlete moment,

97
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 2: the thing they have set up when the athlete performs

98
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 2: and they can look and have like a FaceTime with

99
00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 2: their families somewhere else. That is a huge spin. Is

100
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 2: that's a cute nugget.

101
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: Yes, at this Olympics, when they're kind of coming in

102
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: and out of competition, they can go to the family

103
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: cam basically and the athletes either who are about to compete,

104
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 1: or who have just competed, can go and FaceTime with

105
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: multiple family members. Sometimes you'll see, you know, the high

106
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 1: school gym filled with you know, all of the kids.

107
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: They're rooting on their hometown athlete. But it's been really nice.

108
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: I don't remember seeing that in the Olympics past.

109
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 2: So cool.

110
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: It would have been great. Actually, given COVID, that would

111
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: have been perfect, but I don't remember that being a

112
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: part of it.

113
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 2: It is so cool to see that. It's just just

114
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 2: as NonStop Alympic moments, no matter if they're American athletes

115
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 2: or not. This has been really, really fun. But yesterday

116
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 2: we got a lot happening on the track, a really

117
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 2: big day on the track yesterday, and everybody kind of delivered.

118
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 2: Maybe not a couple of athletes, but certainly the races

119
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 2: we were watching they delivered the way they were supposed to.

120
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, because the men's fifteen hundred meter was being heralded

121
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: as the must see race, and it did not disappointed.

122
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: To your point, it was supposed to be epic. It

123
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: was supposed to be a vicious race between the superstars

124
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: of the fifteen hundred meters, the reigning Olympic Olympic champion

125
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: from Norway and the current world champion from Great Britain.

126
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 1: But all of a sudden, the little American with the

127
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: man bun crashed their party. We're talking about Cole Hawker

128
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 1: or Hoker as the it was trying me crazy. He

129
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 1: was calling him hokah, like the shoe. I was like, no,

130
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: it's Hawker. I know you're British, but you're going to

131
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: have to lean into the fact that his name is

132
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: Cole Hawker.

133
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 2: It took away from our viewing experience because Rope was

134
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 2: against so pissed that the guy kept calling them Cole Hoker.

135
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: This is your moment, and the guy is mispronouncing his

136
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: name pretty atrociously. And look, we've all mispronounced the name.

137
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: But what I was frustrated by is his American counterparts

138
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: were clearly then saying his name right, and he just

139
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: continued to say hokah instead of Hawker.

140
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 2: Okay, You'll see where I'm coming from and see what

141
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 2: I'm dealing with. But Cole Hawker. He pulled off what

142
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 2: is one of the biggest upsets of the Games, probably

143
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 2: the biggest upset of track and field. He chased down

144
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 2: the favorites in the final stretch and he wins the goal.

145
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 2: This had been talked about a lot, and most of

146
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 2: the talk had been about athletes other than Cole Hawker.

147
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 2: The race feature too high profile and these are kind

148
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 2: of some bad ass dudes. Even looking at him, the

149
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 2: guy from the Great the brit I think, or is

150
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 2: he hi? Or where is he from? But Josh Kurr

151
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 2: is his name? Sure, he's great Britton. Okay, he's the

152
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 2: current world champion. Now if you look at him, he

153
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 2: just looks like a cool, tough dude. He just looks

154
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 2: like kind of a badass.

155
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: Now.

156
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 2: Jacob Inga Britzton of Norway won gold in this event

157
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 2: in Tokyo. So those two for the past couple of

158
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 2: years been going back and forth on the track, and

159
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 2: they've been going back and forth in media, kind of

160
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 2: drawing any Yeah, The.

161
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: Washington Post had a headline that said the Olympics spiciest

162
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: rivals run fast, then run their mouths like I think

163
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: it's pretty well determined that they genuinely do not like

164
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: each other and aren't afraid to talk about it.

165
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 2: Run fast, run their mouths, then got beat by an

166
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 2: American is exactly what happened. So Jake Inger Britson of Norway.

167
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 2: He was ahead the entire race for the most part.

168
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 2: He just jumped out there and set the pace. But

169
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,679
Speaker 2: then he got run down by a couple of Americans,

170
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,679
Speaker 2: of course Cole Hawker among them. He didn't even place.

171
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 2: He didn't even get amo got fourth place up and

172
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 2: fourth and then the other dude first position.

173
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: Ever, according to TJ it is probably for him, especially so.

174
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 2: He's hid fourth and then the other guy ends up

175
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 2: in second. But yeah, Cole Hawker with the little man

176
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,719
Speaker 2: bun back there, that was a huge, huge upset and

177
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 2: to see him close and how he did it not

178
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 2: three seconds off his own personal best, set a record

179
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,319
Speaker 2: in the making. Congrats to him, and this is an

180
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 2: unexpected one.

181
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: It was a fun one to watch. We were screaming

182
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: and it was I loved it from start to finish. Also,

183
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: right after that race, we got a treat. We got

184
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: to see Gabby Thomas. Her race went a little differently,

185
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 1: but the result was the same. She got gold. It

186
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: just didn't have any drama, which actually I appreciate it,

187
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: I think after the fifteen hundred meter but she came

188
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: around the turn in the two hundred meter final and

189
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: it just she glided away from her competitors. It didn't

190
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: even look like she was working hard. You could see

191
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: everyone behind her. It looked like they, I mean, they

192
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: were running for their lives, and it looked like she

193
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: was just enjoying a lovely stroll down the track. I mean,

194
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: it was just effortless. Obviously it's obviously not effortless, but

195
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,439
Speaker 1: she made it look like that, and she just dominated.

196
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 2: And she again she was one who is expected. She

197
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 2: has dominated the past couple of years in this race.

198
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 2: She also won the bronze in Tokyo, so there were

199
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 2: high expectations for her. And Julian Alfred is the one

200
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 2: who won the fastest woman in the world won one

201
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 2: hundred meter of course beach carry Richardson in that race.

202
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 2: She ends up with a silver medal. Here she's from

203
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 2: Saint Lucia. That means now Saint Lucia has in the

204
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 2: country's history, won two Olympic medals. And where will those two?

205
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 2: Whose house will they be at?

206
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: Julian Alfred's house. Yes, won them both, and you know,

207
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: I just love seeing her. She has such a warmth

208
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: about her. Could she was and she was a distant second,

209
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,559
Speaker 1: which was kind of remarkable given her fastest woman in

210
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: the world title, I know for that one hundred meter race,

211
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: but just even watching Julian and watching Gabby interact was awesome.

212
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 1: They're just everyone is there supporting each other, and that's

213
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 1: what I love to see.

214
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 2: And we wanted to hug Gabby Thomas. It was funny

215
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 2: watching her. Right after we were like, where is somebody

216
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 2: where she had family? Friends?

217
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: Everybody went to their family, and I was like, why

218
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,599
Speaker 1: she was doing her victory laps as she should, but

219
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: we were waiting to see who she would end up,

220
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 1: and finally she did find her family. We felt better.

221
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 2: But during that happy moment we were watching, we were smiling.

222
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 2: She rang the bell. Of course, she got the flag

223
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 2: around and she's reunited with a family. But we were

224
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 2: listening to a discussion from the commentators, and it was

225
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 2: a discussion that ended up being pretty shocking, frankly from

226
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 2: our vantage point, and I'm sure a lot of people

227
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,079
Speaker 2: caught it, and I'm sure a lot of people didn't

228
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 2: catch it, didn't think anything of it, but it delved

229
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 2: into some highly offensive but all too familiar language used

230
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 2: against African Americans. Now, we do not we're not trying

231
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 2: to call out these commentators. We don't want to use

232
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 2: their names. You want to go track them down, that's

233
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 2: on you. But it's the point here is not to

234
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 2: lodge a criticism. But I guess it's it's Robes. It

235
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 2: was shocking to me and it was hurtful to me

236
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,079
Speaker 2: to hear it, and it sucked for Gabby Thomas. And

237
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 2: it's also shocking. Sometimes we have people put their foot

238
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 2: in the mouth. It's one person has one offhand comment

239
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 2: in one moment. I was surprised to see three people

240
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 2: kind of engage in the same conversation and nobody seemed

241
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 2: to understand what they were saying. Now, I'll we have

242
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 2: the exact because I don't want to put words in

243
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 2: their mouths. So you got a playboy play guy, you

244
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 2: got a female commentator, you got a male commentator in there,

245
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 2: and robes you take you know, I put it in

246
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 2: their verbatim. What sparked the conversation from the play by play.

247
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: Guy, Well, they were talking about Gabby Thomas's win and

248
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 1: what that will mean for the coverage of athletics in America.

249
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 1: How big will she be and especially in connection to

250
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: or in comparison to Shakrrie Richardson, who has obviously dominated

251
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: all of the advertisements and much of America, and the

252
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: advertisers pin their hopes on her becoming the fastest woman

253
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: in the world. So she's been the one you see

254
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 1: her face everywhere. Well, now that we have Gabby Thomas,

255
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 1: who we should note is a beautiful woman. And in

256
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: that sense, they were saying, how will these two women compare?

257
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: How will American media? How will American businesses treat both

258
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: of them? Now? Given all of.

259
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 2: Things, okay, and this was important, I wanted to give

260
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 2: folks you altho verbatim because I don't want you all

261
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 2: to think we're putting words in their mouths. The play

262
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 2: by play guy said, quote, what will this mean for

263
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,559
Speaker 2: coverage of athletics in America? How big will Gabby Thomas

264
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 2: be now in connection and in relation to sha Carrie Richardson?

265
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 2: In quote, that's the question. The female commentator comes back

266
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 2: and responds and I quote, you know, Gabby Thomas is

267
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 2: sort of that American dream. She goes to Harvard and

268
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,959
Speaker 2: she gets this wonderful degree. She's awesome on the track,

269
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 2: but she's even better off the track. She wants to

270
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 2: give back in quote now roads At that point my

271
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 2: mood changed and I looked at you, and you looked

272
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 2: at me back, like him, what's going on? And you

273
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 2: started to pay a little closer.

274
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: Attention, right you Actually you actually got up out of

275
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: the couch and I was watching with Annili's we were

276
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: both listening my daughter, and you got about the couch

277
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: and you put your hand over your head and went ah,

278
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 1: and you made a noise, and I said, what what's

279
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: going on? And you just kind of pointed to the TV.

280
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,079
Speaker 1: So then we perked up and listened.

281
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 2: It continued, so the next commentator in the room, and

282
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 2: you could take this one herie, and again, folks, it's

283
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 2: important because we don't want to be putting words in

284
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 2: people's mouths. You in turke of them how you want to.

285
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 2: But the may after the female commentator makes the comments

286
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 2: about Yabby Thomas going to Harvard and she's the American dream.

287
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 2: The male commentator follows up.

288
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: He says, like Alison Felix, she's already kind of a

289
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: glamorous figure in the States, and she is almost every

290
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: time you talk about her story as a champion and

291
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: how fast she is. It comes with all these other

292
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: things that she is this Harvard grad that she went

293
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: to med school, and she did these things in volunteering

294
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: during the week after training, and so much of that

295
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: story is this person in full. And I think that's

296
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: a great thing to sell. It will sell, It will

297
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: sell in every boardroom in America. And I think she

298
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: becomes huge, and I think she's an example to every

299
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: girl that this is what you can be as a whole,

300
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: not just as an athlete.

301
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 2: Follow up by the play by play guy and I

302
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 2: quote a glowing character reference for Gabby Thomas, who is

303
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 2: sure to be a big star. She does seem from

304
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 2: a neutral's point of view, she seems articulate, She seems intell,

305
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 2: she seems passionate about her sport. At this point, I

306
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 2: got up and I walked out onto the balcony in

307
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 2: ninety degree weather to cool down.

308
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: That's right, and so I would not have noticed probably

309
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: anything wrong or anything that seemed offensive until I heard

310
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: the play by play guy say she seems articulate and

311
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: that obviously I knew was a ding ding ding ding.

312
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: But the crazy thing is you felt it, you heard it,

313
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: you heard where they were going, you saw where they

314
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: were headed. In their commentary and then when it was

315
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: sealed with the articulate, seems intelligent, seems like that just

316
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: all of a sudden AILSA and I went, oh my god,

317
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: he did not just say that.

318
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 2: So and folks, we read this exactly how it was

319
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 2: said on television. Maybe you called it, maybe you didn't,

320
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 2: but take note of it and take note of your

321
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 2: reaction to it, because there will be some people out

322
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 2: there at all you're making too much of it. Oh,

323
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 2: they didn't mean that, or they're just well meaning. I

324
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 2: don't know any of these people personally. I'm this non

325
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 2: indictment of who they are, but it got me when

326
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 2: they try to Initially, his first question in comparing Gabby

327
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 2: Thomas to Sha Carrie Richardson, when you want to compare them,

328
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 2: and then they start to elevate Gabby because she's this,

329
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 2: she's this, she's this, she's this, she's this. And what

330
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 2: I hear in that, and what we often hear in

331
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 2: these things, is she's not this type of black. She's

332
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 2: not this type of black that I think of. She's

333
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 2: not this negative, she's not this dirty, she's not tattooed,

334
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 2: she doesn't have the nails, she doesn't have the hair.

335
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: She doesn't have the bravado, she didn't get caught with marijuana.

336
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 2: She they're saying, this is a black person that White

337
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 2: America can accept, and that's what we hear all the time,

338
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 2: and this is this is constant. So the Shakiri comparison

339
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 2: got in My ears perked up and I said, please

340
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,919
Speaker 2: don't do this, and then to button that up with

341
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 2: the biggest moment this woman ever had. What you're saying

342
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 2: is that this woman doesn't fit your negative stereotype of

343
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 2: black folks because she is articulate. Because that's not what

344
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 2: I usually think about black folks. So this stands out.

345
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 2: So let me point it out. You don't ever white

346
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 2: folks don't get described like that, and Robs. You and

347
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 2: I have talked plenty here about me being in all

348
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 2: those meetings at the network and how many times when

349
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 2: somebody pitches a story and it's a black person who

350
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 2: is the main business owner or whatever it is, and

351
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 2: they have to follow up. Now he's articulate, Now he

352
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 2: speaks well. I talked to him earlier and he's really

353
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 2: well spoken. They're giving all of my white producers say

354
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 2: it's okay, he's black, but it's okay it's okay, we

355
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 2: can put him on TV. That Ugh, it drives me crazy.

356
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 2: And I couldn't believe it was happening on a world

357
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 2: stage with three people just openly kind of discussing it.

358
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 2: It caught me by surprise yesterday.

359
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: And you just put that so perfectly. And I think

360
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: anytime anyone wants to say, well, they were just talking

361
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 1: about how great she was, they were just you know,

362
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 1: listing her accolades off the track. But the reality is,

363
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 1: would they do that and would they compare to white

364
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 1: male athletes like that? I talk about there, well, who's

365
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: more marketable than the other? That in and of itself

366
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: is offensive and I get it, and I didn't get

367
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:27,959
Speaker 1: it at first, and then I started to see your

368
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 1: face and I started listening differently, and it sounded differently.

369
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: And the truth is, I think a lot of people

370
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 1: heard that and didn't think anything of it and thought

371
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:41,199
Speaker 1: that was just genuine praise for someone who deserves it.

372
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: But there's so much more to it. And I think

373
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: it's amazing that you can point that out and people

374
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: can maybe hear it differently and think about how they're

375
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 1: listening to things and how they're actually approaching certain subjects

376
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: and rethink it and why am I thinking like this,

377
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 1: and why would I think it's okay to say that?

378
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 2: But on the biggest stage in the world, they perpetuated

379
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 2: this idea that this this one's okay and this one

380
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 2: is not, and that it drove me crazy. He goes

381
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 2: back to the classic of a Biden example of talking

382
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 2: about Obama. You got the first mainstream African American who

383
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 2: is articulate and bright and clean. He said that about

384
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 2: President Obama, and he later apologized, But it's it makes

385
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 2: a suggestion that black folks are only marketable or acceptable

386
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 2: to white America or mainstream America if they have some

387
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 2: distance from the struggles of the black community. Harvard Right

388
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,400
Speaker 2: volunteers at a medical said all these things which are

389
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 2: wonderful about her, but that's not the only thing that

390
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 2: makes a black person marketable or we don't all have

391
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 2: that experience, And its just it sucked.

392
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 1: I just got chills listening to you say that. So

393
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: I'm really glad that you did say it, and I

394
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: hope that people you know, just it's something to think about,

395
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: and I think that's an important and important thing to say.

396
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 2: Can we get back to regular drama?

397
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've got a lot dramas. I mean, this is insane,

398
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: the gymnastics scoring drama. So the judges, it looks like

399
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 1: the judges got it wrong. I mean, I think that's

400
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: indisputable at this point when it came to the floor exercise.

401
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 1: But if you haven't read into this, this is so complicated.

402
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: What happens now if the judges did get it wrong

403
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 1: and the floor exercise that happened on Monday, well a

404
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 1: lot is happening. The Romanian Prime minister says he is

405
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 1: going to boycott the closing ceremonies, and athletes says she

406
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: is quitting the sport altogether at the age of seventeen.

407
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: There are letters of protests that have been sent, Requests

408
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: for legal action are in play, and there is a

409
00:20:56,040 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: tremendous amount of hate online that it's just it's it's sad. Look,

410
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: most of you already know by now that Jordan Chiles

411
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: scored initially a thirteen point six sixty six, falling to

412
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: fifth place on the floor exercise behind Romanias, Anna Barbosu

413
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 1: and Sabrina Vogna. They tied with a thirteen point seven.

414
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 1: Team USA puts in an inquiry about Jordan's difficulty score.

415
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 1: The judges decided to award her back that tenth of

416
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: a point, and that gave Jordan Chiles a thirteen point

417
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: seven to six. It gave her the bronze medal. Okay,

418
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: following me so far, I just it's this is a

419
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 1: crazy story. It was a heartbreaking moment for the Romanians.

420
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 1: They haven't won a medal in gymnastic since twenty twelve.

421
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,199
Speaker 1: Anna had already had the Romanian flag draped around her.

422
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 1: She was celebrating her bronze when the new score posted

423
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: and she realized she had lost it. Okay, so fans

424
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 1: go to social media, they're reacting, they're looking at the

425
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: videos of their performances, and it was the fans who

426
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: initially determined it was actually the other Romanian gymnast, Sabrina,

427
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 1: who they believe now was actually wrong. Judges took away

428
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: a tenth of a point from her routine for stepping

429
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: out of bounds. But there are videos and pictures famous

430
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: Romanian legend Nadia Komen each putting it out there that

431
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 1: show she was not out of bounds, and in fact,

432
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: in the primetime reairing of her routine, the NBC commentators

433
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 1: reported that she did not step out of bounds. So

434
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: now Sabrina's floor exercise could be reanalyzed by the International

435
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,679
Speaker 1: Gymnastics Federation. The head of the Romanian Olympic Committee sent

436
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 1: a letter of protest. They want to rescore of her routine.

437
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: If the Federation did that, they could then bring the

438
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: review to the Court of Arbitration for Sports. This is

439
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 1: just crazy, and if she was rescored, she could get

440
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: that tenth of a point back, which would bring her

441
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 1: score to thirteen point eight, which would put her back

442
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: in third place the bronze medal. The medals were already awarded,

443
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: and there is a precedent for this. There is just

444
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 1: a way they operate here at the Olympics. There was

445
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: a long standing view that the athletic results must be

446
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 1: determined by the field of play decisions, not by court rulings.

447
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: So most people believe that Jordan Childs, regardless of who

448
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,959
Speaker 1: reviews what or who rescores what, will keep her bronze

449
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: medal and will stay in third place. But because of

450
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: all of this, seventeen year old Sabrina says she's quitting gymnastics,

451
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: and as you might imagine, Jordan Chiles is getting a

452
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 1: tremendous amount of hate online, rising to the level where

453
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: her own mother went on to Twitter and asked people

454
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 1: to please stop, to please stop bullying her child.

455
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 2: This Look, this is gone. I don't know how far

456
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 2: it is going to go. We talk about whether or

457
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 2: not Jordan could lose her brond. That's not going to happen.

458
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 2: There is president impossible that scores could change later and

459
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,959
Speaker 2: somebody else could receive a bronze, but it's not. It's

460
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 2: not going to be not going to take one off

461
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 2: her neck and give it to somebody else. That's done,

462
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 2: so we don't expect that sssarily, But it just keeps

463
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 2: going and going and going. And to your point, I

464
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 2: haven't looked at a lot of it, you know, I

465
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 2: don't look at social media a lot these days. But

466
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 2: the things that are going around, and look, Americans are

467
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 2: very supportive of of Jordan Childs, obviously, but folks all

468
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,679
Speaker 2: over the world looking at I assume, right the Americans

469
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 2: cheating in some way, getting away with something, or scoring

470
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 2: somebody over. It's just it's always some kind of scoring

471
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,360
Speaker 2: controversy when you have subjective.

472
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Jordan had nothing to do with the scoring. Controversy,

473
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 1: so to put any sort of hate or anger towards

474
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: her is completely misguided and completely inappropriate.

475
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 2: And don't have it right. They have they can. They

476
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 2: can only review. They can't review your execution, but they

477
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 2: can review your what you're like a technical skill, they can.

478
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 2: It's something about the real I'm still learning about inquiries,

479
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 2: which are common apparently in yes, gymnastics, so nothing new,

480
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 2: but we are all getting to update on rules these days. Anyway.

481
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just hope people can just save any of

482
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: that hate, you know, and just don't hits end, don't publish,

483
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: don't put out so much negativity. I just I feel

484
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: for her because you know, it's sad for Romania. But

485
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: Jordan Chiles should be able to celebrate her bronze medal regardless.

486
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 1: So anyway, I know there was a lot of celebrating

487
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 1: going on. US Women's soccer. Wow, we were jumping up

488
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,360
Speaker 1: and down. It took a while, but we finally won.

489
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 1: It took all a long while.

490
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 2: It took a full almost it did take full time,

491
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,719
Speaker 2: but then extra time. It went to overtime in this

492
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,120
Speaker 2: one and didn't took to the ninety fifth minute before

493
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 2: the US women finally scored, so they ended up beating

494
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 2: Germany yesterday one nil. They played Germany in the group stage,

495
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 2: you might remember, and they won that one four to one.

496
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 2: Germany is actually a higher ranked team in the world

497
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 2: than the US. They ranked fourth, US is ranked fifth.

498
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 2: Didn't look like it yesterday. I didn't look like it

499
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 2: in the Olympics. But we that was our day. I

500
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 2: had nine am. I had the women's platform diving I

501
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 2: had to see. But after that it was noon. You

502
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 2: all should see us. We are like idiots in here

503
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 2: trying to plan everything. We had to call the daughters

504
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 2: and where we're all going to be, and what's this

505
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 2: gonna happen, where's the food? And we all to get

506
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 2: on the couch by noon for the game.

507
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it was. It was a blast. They did

508
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 1: not disappoint. And I know what we're going to be

509
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 1: on Saturday at eleven am. We are going to be

510
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 1: watching the US women face Brazil for the gold medal.

511
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 1: This is so exciting. And you know what, we were

512
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 1: ranked fifth and that sounds great, but you know, to

513
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 1: be now going for gold, that's a huge accomplishment for

514
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 1: a team that I don't think a lot of people

515
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: necessarily thought would get to where they are having.

516
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 2: Losts Emma hayes Era at the with the US women,

517
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 2: the new coach. She is doing her thing and she's

518
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 2: fun to watch her fun things on the sideline. So

519
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 2: that's on Saturday. You know where we'll be. Did you

520
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 2: get to see a meet Allure and Kwan Hong Zong

521
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 2: both win gold medals? Yes today?

522
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 1: Come again?

523
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, you might be saying, ooh and no we didn't

524
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 2: see them. Yes, Amid Allure and Kwan Hong Jan both

525
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 2: got gold medals yesterday. They are not household names, but

526
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 2: they just might be the two most dominant athletes at

527
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 2: the Paris Games. I know, slow down, TJ. You know

528
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 2: Simone was at these Games. I get it, but hear

529
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 2: us out. Amid Allure won Golden women's wrestling. She's twenty

530
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 2: years old. She's the youngest American man or woman to

531
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 2: ever win Golden wrestling at the Olympics. But why call

532
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 2: her one of the most dominant athletes in Paris robes

533
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 2: because she has not lost a wrestling match in international

534
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,360
Speaker 2: competition since twenty.

535
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 1: Nineteen, five years straight.

536
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 2: I believe that's about forty two and oh or something

537
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 2: like that. That she is now she is a phenom

538
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 2: and dominant and in her matches in the Olympics, she's

539
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 2: three and oho going into the final. She won all

540
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 2: her matches, but the scorer threw out her matches. At

541
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 2: the Olympics. She won twenty eight to two. That's the

542
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 2: overall scoring twenty eight to two. Her opponent didn't score

543
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 2: on her at all in the final. Her coach actually said,

544
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 2: the surprise here at the Olympics is not that she won,

545
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 2: but that anybody scored against her at all.

546
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 1: Wow, she's that good.

547
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 2: She is that good, an absolute phenom. But she has

548
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 2: dominated to the point that they even say her opponents

549
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 2: walk out looking intimidated, don't even know what to do

550
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:20,640
Speaker 2: with her.

551
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: Well, congratulations to her. And I know this is a

552
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:27,400
Speaker 1: young woman who you have been heralding this entire Olympics.

553
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 1: You will not miss when she competes.

554
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 2: I love a Kwang Hoong Joan who's seventeen years old now.

555
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 2: But Chinese diver, she's seventeen. She's seventeen and is a

556
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 2: two time Olympic champion on platform. You're like, wait, how

557
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 2: did that work? Yes, she won the first one at

558
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 2: fourteen years old in Tokyo, fourteen years old. She was

559
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 2: a darling of Tokyo that came out of nowhere for

560
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 2: a lot of folks. But she was scoring perfect tens

561
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 2: at the age of fourteen. Yesterday, the final, very first dive,

562
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 2: perfect ten across the board. She's just there is no competition.

563
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 2: She made a little on one of her dives and

564
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 2: her teammate kind of got close, but she still won comfortably.

565
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 2: But she and her teammate are so far ahead of

566
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 2: anybody else. It was no question who's gonna get gold,

567
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 2: no question who's gonna get.

568
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: Soilb didn't they say that when she dives this is

569
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: her right that it almost looks like quicksand, like the

570
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: water is not splashing up, but it's actually being sucked down.

571
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: She makes her dives that beautiful.

572
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 2: There's some technique that they have perfected, and it's some

573
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 2: name for that loosely translates into splash disappearance technique or

574
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 2: something they were saying, but it does quicksand is the

575
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 2: right way to put it. You go into the water,

576
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 2: it looks like the water follows you down. She's that good.

577
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 2: So I know I haven't missed her.

578
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: Uh yes, And so we were talking about our track

579
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: and field. You just kind of re educating ourselves into

580
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: some of these events. They've been fun to watch, like

581
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: the hammer throw. I mean, we've been having a blast.

582
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: It's been really fun. But we especially enjoyed the steeple chase.

583
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 1: I have never seen it before, so I was shocked,

584
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 1: as many people might have been if they were watching

585
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: to see water, like a why are they running through

586
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: water on the track? It was I've never seen anything

587
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 1: like it.

588
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 2: See. And that's the crazy thing is it has been

589
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 2: in the Olympics. It is the early nineteen hundreds. But

590
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 2: my question, we were watching it yesterday and I'm like,

591
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 2: why is this still an event? Like why is that there?

592
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 2: I hadn't never looked up the history. So for folks,

593
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 2: if you were watching a race, it's a three thousand

594
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 2: meters steeplechase, and the athletes get on the track and

595
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 2: they're jumping over obstacles. But they're not necessarily hurdles. They

596
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 2: look like big police.

597
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 1: Barriers, barriers, and they don't give. You know, hurdles will

598
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: give if you if you hit it.

599
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 2: These do not, Yes, and we have seen some I

600
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 2: haven't seen in this dramatic falls but in the past.

601
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 2: But then on one pass you jump over this obstacle,

602
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 2: but there is a pit of water on the other

603
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 2: side and you can't clear the water, so you're gonna

604
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 2: end up in it getting wet. That's the actual event

605
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 2: and you're thinking, why is this a thing? Well, the

606
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 2: steeple chase goes back to Ireland, we understand.

607
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 1: And it was an equestrian event, correct. It started out

608
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 1: with horses, was what they believe, and then as it continued,

609
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: they decided to have runners do it, and they wanted

610
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: to emulate what those races were like where you were

611
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,959
Speaker 1: going over natural barriers and fences and sometimes you had

612
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 1: to run through rivers and streams, and so to emulate

613
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 1: all of that, that is how they put together this

614
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 1: steeple chase route. And it is unusual and I would

615
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 1: say very very entertaining. It's something to see.

616
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 2: It's something to see, but it's entertaining. But it's a

617
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 2: I mean, it gets a little ugly. I mean they

618
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 2: have some nasty spills I've seen over the years trying

619
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 2: to get over that water, and it's potential for disaster.

620
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 2: But the steeple chase, the name even yes steeple when

621
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 2: they were racing back in the early nineteen hundreds or

622
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 2: whatever it was on the horses. What could you see

623
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 2: from town to town? What was the easiest marker? It

624
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 2: was the church steeple, So they were literally chasing and

625
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 2: running and racing from steeple to steeple, hence the name.

626
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 2: So that is your Olympics history too.

627
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 1: Anytime that's on, I will watch it because I think

628
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 1: it's pretty remarkable to see and where else could you

629
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 1: see something like that? Nowhere except for the Olympics. All right,

630
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 1: we'll tell you what we're watching today. Gosh, well, we've

631
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: been watching sports climbing, which has been so fun. But

632
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 1: we'll watch it anytime it's on, finals or heats, whatever

633
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:33,959
Speaker 1: it is. Will take it. Men's springboard diving Americans Carson

634
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 1: Tyler and Andrew Capo Bianca competing for a spot in

635
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 1: the men's finals. I be's already happened, but you'll be

636
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 1: able to see a replay of it, and it's there's

637
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: some good news there. US women's basketball quarterfinals, the US

638
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: versus Nigeria that's at three thirty this afternoon, and the

639
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: ladies of Team USA on their way to seeking an

640
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: unprecedented eighth consecutive gold medal the semifinals or Friday. The

641
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: gold medal game is actually on the last day of

642
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 1: the Olympics on Sunday, so that'll be fun to watch.

643
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: We'll just hopefully, I don't want to assume, but let's

644
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 1: hope that the American women will be in that final

645
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 1: in the bag. A lot going on track and field,

646
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 1: the one hundred ten meter hurdle semi finals, where we

647
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 1: have a favorite to win a medal. He's an American

648
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 1: three time world champ, Tokyo silver medalist, Grant Holloway. He'll

649
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: be competing. That's this afternoon. Lots of multiple track and

650
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: field events throughout the day, so we'll be very occupied.

651
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 1: Synchronized swimming, artistics, swimming. The team finals are at one

652
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 1: thirty this afternoon, and Team USA is looking good. Yesterday

653
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: we were just behind China, so that is something to

654
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: definitely take a look at. And we watched the mixed

655
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 1: marathon walk relay this morning and there is such a

656
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: great moment when the winning country crosses the finish line there. Yes,

657
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: you have to watch it with the backdrop of the

658
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 1: Eiffel Tower, champagne going everywhere. It was really celebratory and

659
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: fun and you were just it was it was fun

660
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 1: to watch. I really really enjoyed that Men's Beach Volleyball

661
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 1: USA takes on Cutter Qatar. How you say that? At

662
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 1: four pm today when I was at NBC News, we

663
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:17,760
Speaker 1: said cutter. Now I think everyone says qatar. The aato

664
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 1: tomato playing the US is playing at four pm today

665
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 1: and oh my goodness, we're so excited. Men's park skateboarding.

666
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: So our guys are competing actually right now as we're

667
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 1: recording this. Gavin Botger and Tom shar that's who we

668
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:33,919
Speaker 1: spoke to. If you haven't heard our interview with them,

669
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: please check it out. It's a couple podcasts ago. But

670
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 1: they talked to us just before they started competing. The heat.

671
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,760
Speaker 1: The heat's already going on right now, but the finals

672
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 1: are at eleven thirty a m. This morning.

673
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:47,919
Speaker 2: I love this park.

674
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, all in one day, they're knocking it all out

675
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 1: and then this is cool on Team Great Britain. He's

676
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:58,919
Speaker 1: an American, but he's competing for a Great Britain. He's

677
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:02,319
Speaker 1: fifty one years yars old. He is competing in park

678
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 1: skateboarding amongst teenagers. Like this is a sport where it's

679
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:09,839
Speaker 1: known for its youth in fact China, he's he's from

680
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 1: he is American, but he's he's competing for Team Great Britain.

681
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 2: Maybe I say that because we're watching it live and

682
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 2: I saw a guy with a skateboard like.

683
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: He's fifty one years I didn't think he was a competitor.

684
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 2: I thought it was a week okay, had to be And.

685
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: There China has an eleven year old competing in this

686
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 1: exact same event. So there is going to be an

687
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: eleven year old competing against a fifty one year old

688
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: and for that in and of itself, I'm watching and

689
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 1: I had to look it up because I was confused.

690
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:40,720
Speaker 1: There's no minimum age to compete in surfing or skateboarding events,

691
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: so if you're a surfer or a skateboarder, you can

692
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,320
Speaker 1: be as young as you want to be.

693
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 2: I guess apparently as old as you want to be

694
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 2: and as old.

695
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: As you want to be. Olympic gymnasts have to be

696
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,319
Speaker 1: sixteen by the way to compete, and boxers have to

697
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 1: be eighteen, but boxers also can't be over the age

698
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 1: of forty. So some sports have very specific age requirements,

699
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 1: and I love that skateboarding has none, so an eleven

700
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 1: year old, We'll go up against a fifty one year.

701
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 2: Old And I'm sorry, I only pointed to you because

702
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 2: our boy is coming up, Gavin Gavin. But we just

703
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 2: love seventeen year old. Isn't he ranked number one in

704
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 2: the world.

705
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 1: He is, and he's seventeen years old and chill.

706
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 2: And there he goes. We talk to this guy the

707
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 2: other day as we were talking to you, we are

708
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:22,399
Speaker 2: watching him lie perform at the Olympics and his park

709
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 2: run in the prelimbs, and it's amazing that this kid

710
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 2: is seventeen years old. To see him doing what he's

711
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:30,759
Speaker 2: doing right now, we all have a dog in the

712
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 2: fight when he comes to the Olympics Team USA. But

713
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 2: once you get to talk to somebody, and once we

714
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 2: spend a little time with him and getting to know

715
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 2: his personality, I feel myself rooting for this dude harder

716
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 2: than I'm root it for anybody that I mean.

717
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 1: They're just doing it for the passion and love of

718
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 1: the sport and nothing else, and they're remarkable at it.

719
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,319
Speaker 1: And you know, these guys don't have coaches. You know,

720
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 1: it's just this is what they love to do, and

721
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:56,240
Speaker 1: they do it all day long. He gets home school. Wow,

722
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 1: that was remarkable. He doesn't go to high school, you know,

723
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 1: for high school. He goes to homeschool because this is

724
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 1: his this is what he does as often and as

725
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 1: long as he can in southern California where the weather

726
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 1: makes it do.

727
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,840
Speaker 2: And he just made a great run. So glad you

728
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 2: stuck around with us for that little ding. We just

729
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 2: watched him.

730
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 1: His family cheering in the All right, y'all, thank you
