1
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: Ring, Ring Ring. I think I added some rings onto

2
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: the five I apologize, I got excited.

3
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 2: That's the newest addition to the series.

4
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: Exactly six. This is what we're going to announce. Guess what,

5
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: there's six rings, guys, No, just kidding. It's the same

6
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: old five rings of the Olympics.

7
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 2: But you know what, if they were to add another one,

8
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 2: I think the moon would be a fun addition.

9
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: Muggers.

10
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, what do you think the next ring will be.

11
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: Something in our planetary I agree with you, Yes, yes,

12
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: let's get galactic on them. But before we explore space,

13
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: we have to explore Milan.

14
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 2: Courtina, listen, what do you think of this being the

15
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 2: most expansive Winter Olympics ever?

16
00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: I love it. Let's just start there, bigger, better, more.

17
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: I think that in terms of the Olympics, it's like,

18
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: let's go for it, you know what I mean?

19
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 2: And that's what we're doing on this podcast. Welcome back

20
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 2: to two guys, five Rings. We're your hosts.

21
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: I'm Bowen Yang, I'm Matt Rogers, and we are so

22
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: excited to be so backed as it were talking Olympics.

23
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 1: I have to tell you I'm recording from Los Angeles

24
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: right now. And already you see things popping up for

25
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight.

26
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 2: So it's around the corner.

27
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: It's around the corner. But right now we're focusing on

28
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: the windy mix.

29
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 2: Oh and it's certainly a way to put it. I

30
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 2: think this is I'm sorry, we're jumping around. I'm jumping around,

31
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 2: and you're sort of keeping me honest. I just wanted

32
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 2: to introduce everybody in case you haven't been on this

33
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 2: journey with us. We are back from our twenty twenty

34
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 2: four Paris extravaganza. Yes, we had such a blast. We

35
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 2: got to talk games, Olympic village, stats, stories, We interviewed

36
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 2: amazing athletes, including well, I think it was mostly just one,

37
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 2: but the athlete Greg we gain Us.

38
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: Can you believe what a highlight getting to meet him?

39
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 2: Truly a highlight? And stay tuned for more for this

40
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 2: winter crop.

41
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: Oh there's gonna be more in store, Yes, Oh definitely.

42
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: I have to say. This podcast explores so many things,

43
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 1: such as who the athletes are we are going to

44
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: be watching, the venues that we're gonna be exploring. Just

45
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,399
Speaker 1: how many times can a person mention their mild time

46
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: from half their lifetime ago? Stay tuned for more of that. Likely.

47
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 2: Yes, we're exploring human triumph. We are talking all the

48
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 2: locations stories. We're gonna do more of what we love

49
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 2: to do, but this time we have the privilege. Oh,

50
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 2: this is tending the opening ceremony in Milan.

51
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: I mean they're actually making the huge mistake of sending

52
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: us there. They're gonna let us mix and mingle, They're

53
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,239
Speaker 1: gonna let us taste the foods.

54
00:02:58,480 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 2: We're gonna storm the floor.

55
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 1: Do you remember when we called that Lady Gaga was

56
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 1: going to perform at the opening ceremony before she did?

57
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 2: And this might be revisionist, I feel like you also

58
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 2: put clean Diana out there as well. We literally had

59
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 2: no knowledge of this.

60
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: We know Mariah Carey was already named as a special performer,

61
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean we're not going to see some

62
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: incredible special guest pop up. Should we just sort of

63
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: throw out there something that we'd want to see? Yes,

64
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: it's crazy that Gaga was out there for the Parisian

65
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: Olympics when she is famously an Italian girl from New

66
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: York with roots and I'm assuming what can only be Italy,

67
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: you'd think she'd be storming the ball for this one

68
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: House of Gucci's Lady Gaga.

69
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 2: House of Gucci's Lady Gaga. I mean she is an

70
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 2: icon of the Italian Alps, which is where the ski

71
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 2: events will take place this upcoming Olympic Games. I think

72
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 2: stay tuned. I'm willing to bet she makes an appearance.

73
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 2: You know she loves the world stage and the country

74
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 2: of Italy. I'm going to throw this out there. I'm

75
00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 2: just going to say one word, chare, Holy moly, let's

76
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 2: get share. Well, here's my rub. Okay, the Parisian Olympics

77
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 2: were not to not to backpack too much because we

78
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 2: are looking forward. Yes, region Olympics. We're all about the

79
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 2: culture right, celebrating culture in all its forms. Italy is

80
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 2: absolutely the cultural place for so many things, to say

81
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 2: nothing of the birthplace of the Renaissance.

82
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: Oh thank god for that.

83
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 2: I want shared dressed as Leonardo da Vinci, which I

84
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 2: think she is down to do.

85
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: I think we've seen her dress in so many ways.

86
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: We've seen her play every character in West Side Story.

87
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: There's no reason to believe that she shouldn't come out

88
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: as Leonardo da Vinci himself.

89
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 2: I don't know if he was based in Milan, Okay.

90
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: Can I say, Italy so confusing, so many different areas.

91
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: You know. The question of have we been to Italy

92
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: was posed by our producers, and the answer is yes,

93
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: although real Italians would say no, because we've been to Sicily.

94
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 2: We've been to Sicily. I've personally been to the Dolomites.

95
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 2: I've been to Lake Garda. I had a solo vacation there.

96
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 2: That is as a life highlight. I rediscovered joy when

97
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 2: I had a lasagna. I remember martini and a diet

98
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 2: Coke in front of me overlooking Lago di Garda, and

99
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 2: I went, this is life, and I rediscovered myself in Italy.

100
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: Now I remember what it's all about truly.

101
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 2: And I also felt very Italian at the Milan airport

102
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 2: when I bought an espresso before my flight. Yeah, nothing

103
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 2: is more Italian than that.

104
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: No, just like a quick espresso before you hop on

105
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: a jet set. I love that.

106
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 2: So this is all to say we were very excited

107
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 2: to go. Our Italian experience, our shared Italian experience is

108
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 2: limited to the isle of Sicily.

109
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: And which which was a mixed bag. I will say,

110
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: let's just say this. I hope that everyone, all the

111
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: athletes traveling to for the games. I hope they get

112
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: there early because you roll the dice on flights. I'm

113
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: just saying, we had one of the gnarliest airport experiences

114
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: and jet setting experience of our life getting to Sicily

115
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 1: because a volcano erupted.

116
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 2: You, guys, Mount Etna erupted. I'm gonna I'm gonna fire

117
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 2: some shots. You had fire shots, eat to airways. You

118
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,239
Speaker 2: really tried us, and we will never forget the ways

119
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 2: that you lost our luggage multiple times. That's all I'm

120
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 2: gonna say.

121
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: It was multiple times to the Olympians speakers, and I

122
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: just hope if you're packing your skis, maybe we need

123
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: to carry them on. Is that possible.

124
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 2: It's kind of the only solution.

125
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: How do you travel with all that?

126
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 2: Elders so growing up in Colorado, and I'm sure a

127
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 2: lot of resort towns with ski facilities have this. There's

128
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 2: an entirely different carousel for skis and snowboards and equipment.

129
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 2: It's a different carousel that's taller, that's taller and wraps

130
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 2: around the wall. It is not a full circle. Yes,

131
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 2: I've seen this, yeah wow, And so that's kind of

132
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 2: the only solution. But I think you're onto something carry

133
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 2: on is kind of the only way for some of

134
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,799
Speaker 2: these people, some of these Olympians who have been training

135
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 2: their whole lives for this, and it might all be

136
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 2: cut up the knees by some let's just say, casual

137
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 2: Italian airport workers. I don't want to generalize you, but

138
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 2: they are not. There's no sense divergency.

139
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: Casual was kind. Well. Can I tell you something though,

140
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: Do you remember that iconic woman who we went to

141
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: in the what airport was that? Was that the Milan Airport?

142
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, this was She had an amazing

143
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 2: bob and she worked.

144
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: She had an incredible Bob. And this was before Leslie Bib.

145
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 2: This was before Leslie Bib. This was before season three

146
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 2: White Lotus. This is right after season two. Even in

147
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 2: the interim, I think I think Mike White must have

148
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 2: met her and was inspired. But she was at the

149
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 2: Sicilian airport.

150
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: She was at the Sicilian airport, and we had lost

151
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: the luggage so badly and so we both didn't have it, yea,

152
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: So we said, okay, you know what, We're going to

153
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: go over speak to this woman who's incredibly overwhelmed because

154
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: get this, they had also lost one, two, three, four

155
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: or five. Yes, everyone else in the airport's luggage. No

156
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: one had their luggage. And she had this bob that said,

157
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: don't with me.

158
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 2: I talked to screaming Greeks and British people all day

159
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:06,239
Speaker 2: every summer.

160
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: I do this, I do this. You're new to this airport.

161
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: I'm true to this airport. I am the person on

162
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: whom the wheels turn. Okay, So she really she took

163
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: our information very calmly. She was austere. She got it together,

164
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: and we eventually did get that luggage.

165
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 2: Eventually. Being the broad key term. And you and I

166
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 2: have both worked in very unforgiving work environments. You've worked

167
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 2: as a server in various restaurant jobs.

168
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: You've worked as a cast member on Saturday Night Live.

169
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 2: Truly treacherous, but loving and fulfilling. I think nothing compares

170
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 2: to an Italian airport.

171
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: Oh no, you find out who you are. You find

172
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: out who you are at an Italian airport.

173
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 2: Who are you? Who are you?

174
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: Okay? You know what I've noticed about myself lately during

175
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: stressful times, I am I'm quite the dissociator.

176
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you leave, I'll.

177
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: Completely leave the building.

178
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,839
Speaker 2: I'll just feel like, what's the exit, what's what's the exit?

179
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 2: Hatch your eyes? How does your soul leave your body

180
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 2: to the mouth, that the nose or the eyes.

181
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: I'm trying to do it right now, I think, honestly,

182
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: what it is is it's just it's I'm not looking

183
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: at anything, but my eyes are open, and I'm kind

184
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: of trying to tell myself like i am physically here,

185
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: but emotionally, I'm somewhere else. Go to a happy place.

186
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: Go to a happy place. And here's the thing. We

187
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: thought we had traveled to the happy place because Sicily

188
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 1: was going to be so incredible. Suffice it all to say,

189
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: you have to bring your on board with you, athletes.

190
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, we're weeks out. I understand that it's

191
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: going to be tough for you figure skaters because figure

192
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: skates are a weapon. They are a weapon. We've seen

193
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: blades of glory.

194
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 2: We've seen blades of glory. More on that in episode two.

195
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: Oh, big time, big time, big time. Oh I have

196
00:09:55,480 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 1: missed figure skating drama and rivalry intern now turmoil on

197
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: the ice it's back. We all remember where we were

198
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: when the French judge did her thing with that Canadian pair.

199
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: I hope she comes back. Can you believe what a

200
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: huge drama that would be if it was very just like,

201
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: you know, like someone returning to a soap opera plotline

202
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: thirty years later, Like you thought that they banned me

203
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: for life. Well I'm back. I'm the French judge.

204
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 2: I have no doubt that if she were to stomp

205
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,559
Speaker 2: back on the scene, she would like even younger than

206
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 2: she did.

207
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: Back then, oh one hundred.

208
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 2: But I hope she's internally in turmoil for all the

209
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 2: suffering she caused on a world scale. We were all

210
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 2: all gagged.

211
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 1: We were all gagged, and I was gagged to find

212
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: out that that was a couple. The Canadians were a couple.

213
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: So I'm always gagged to find out, Like in terms

214
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: of the figure skating pairs, and we were jumping ahead

215
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: here because in a second we're going to talk about

216
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: the locales we're going to be I said, we're going

217
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: to be performing at We're going to performing because Lo

218
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: and Maul like we will try and perform at everything.

219
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: But I'm always gagged. And we'll talk about more in

220
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 1: the next episode. Which figure skating duo pairs are in

221
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: a relationship which is clearly a gay best friend and

222
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: woman and which is just like a sort of fixed

223
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: marriage where it's like you can clearly tell there's like

224
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: drama between them, or like brother's sister.

225
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 2: Or the ship sims who are iconically the most wonderful people,

226
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 2: who are siblings who are talented ice dancers. That is

227
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 2: best case scenario. Ice dancing kind of more artistic and

228
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 2: in a sense, I'm gonna say you're leading with dancing.

229
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 2: True figure skating is more about the physical feats. Yes,

230
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 2: that's what I'll say.

231
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: You're hot today.

232
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 2: I'm cursing it to airways. I'm saying ice dancing is

233
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 2: in some ways arguably more autistic. What am I doing?

234
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 1: We're threatening to perform, We're threatening to perform. We're trying

235
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: to get share books. You know that's going to be

236
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: a logistical nightmare.

237
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 2: Oh, just to go back to that, the skates have

238
00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 2: to be carry ons, the luges have to be carry ons,

239
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 2: the bob sleds, the slaloms, the poles and the slaloms

240
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 2: have to be packed. Unfortunately, the pucks, the hockey pucks,

241
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 2: and so much more.

242
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: Me showing up to the airport, what do you mean

243
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: you've forgotten my bob sled? What do you mean you

244
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: lost my bob sled. You got to put an air

245
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: tag on your bob Sleds.

246
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, Oh cool, Runnings would not exist, would

247
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 2: not be a movie if air tag has had existed

248
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:28,959
Speaker 2: in the nineties.

249
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: You're actually ten assed about that. So wow, And all

250
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: technology happens at the exact right time, don't you agree?

251
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, all technology is good, it's all beneficial.

252
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:44,079
Speaker 1: We're AI.

253
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 2: This isn't even us.

254
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: This isn't even US. This is an AI thing.

255
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 2: Kind of cool and they're nailing it cool.

256
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 1: I actually think this AI met and phone is way

257
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: better than the real met phone.

258
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 2: I agree. And they don't have to get paid for it,

259
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 2: which is so helpful.

260
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: Well, listen, we're talking around it. But this is truly

261
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: about sports, and in order to see these heroic feats,

262
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 1: these heroic athletic feats, and really to get the competition underway,

263
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: we need certain venues to host them. And this, like

264
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: you said, is going to be the most widespread Winter

265
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: Olympics and Paralympics in history. Milan will host the opening

266
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: ceremony as well as figure skating, hockey, short track, and

267
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: speed skating During the Paralympics. Milan will host the sled

268
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: hockey competition.

269
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 2: Wonderful Milan has a.

270
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: Very fast pace of life and a buzzing social scene,

271
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: including a renowned apparative. Oh culture, love that. Okay, we're

272
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: gonna write that down bo. Now what is appartibo culture?

273
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 1: You ask? Apperativo is a beloved social ritual from roughly

274
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: six pm to nine pm where people gather to enjoy

275
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,319
Speaker 1: a pre dinner drink such as a spritz or a

276
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: negroni and small snacks. We're gonna have the time of

277
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: our lives. I love this culture.

278
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 2: Nibbles. I love to nibble and sip from a tiny glass.

279
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: Nibbles, SIPs and more like, but not too much more,

280
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: because you got to keep it small.

281
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 2: You gotta keep it small. But we don't have to.

282
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: No, we're Americans. We're coming in. Can I say, Milan,

283
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: look out for us. I'll have four of those for me,

284
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: And what do the rest of y'all want? That's That's

285
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: how I'm gonna be at the table. Can I say,

286
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: best joke ever?

287
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 2: Best joke ever?

288
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: Hey? Can I have three of these? And what do

289
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: the rest of y'all want? You light up every room

290
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: when you go in with that joke.

291
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Now there's a Hollywood connection.

292
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: To Milan, you don't say.

293
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 2: And House of Gucci really the best film, the best

294
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 2: film with an amazing aggressive love scene in the first

295
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 2: ten minutes.

296
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: I'm happy you brought it up. You know. I had

297
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: to go see that movie twice because I went to

298
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: the bathroom the first time and I came back and

299
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: I think maybe even it was you that was like,

300
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: you missed the sex scene. And I was like, well,

301
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: even though I think this movie is a six, I

302
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: will return.

303
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 2: And you did see it a second time. I think

304
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 2: that's amazing scene work in that scene. But a House

305
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 2: of Gucci Ridley Scott used real Milanese locations to capture

306
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 2: the luxury fashion world. Do you think that the Milanese

307
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 2: cookie is authentic to the region.

308
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: Well, I would think it's a shame if it isn't,

309
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: and I would think it was lies in Milano.

310
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. The pepper Ridge Farm Milano cookie a staple

311
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 2: in every pantry in America.

312
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: That feels like an Italian ass cookie. To me.

313
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 2: It feels very Italian ass, just.

314
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: Like Leonardo DiCaprio was Booty. Oh yes, yeah, Italian ass.

315
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: Do you see Italian or is that a stage name?

316
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: Is this name really like Mark Miller.

317
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 2: I would say that that is a that's a real name.

318
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: He's not giving Italian to me, is all I'm saying.

319
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: He doesn't give Italian, not the way like Lady Gaga

320
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: gives Italian.

321
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 2: I think he's such a good actor that he gets

322
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 2: to sort of you know, hide it, you're right, turn

323
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 2: it on and on.

324
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: You're right, you're right.

325
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 2: And then the second host city, technically Woo, has previously

326
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 2: hosted the nineteen fifty six Winter Games. Cortina Dumpezzo, in

327
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 2: the heart of the Dolomites of northern Italy. It will

328
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 2: host women's alpine skiing events, as well as the curling

329
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 2: and the three sliding sports, which are bob sled, luge,

330
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 2: and skeleton. That is a chik trio.

331
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: It's some of the most dangerous stuff you could do. Yeah,

332
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: I'm telling you. When I watched skeleton, when I watch luge,

333
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: when I even when I watch bob slid, I'm like

334
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: the I'm like, how do you even practice this? How

335
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: do you even get to the place where you are

336
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: Olympic at this? This just blows my mind.

337
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 2: Got to get to the top of a mountain every

338
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 2: time you want to like put a rep.

339
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: In, Honey, that's crazy, wild stuff.

340
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 2: Quurtina da Pezzo is known as a luxurious Italian ski resort,

341
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 2: nicknamed the Queen of the Dolomites, celebrated for its high

342
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 2: end shopping, fine dining, and picturesque setting for both winter

343
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:22,959
Speaker 2: sports like skiing and summer outdoor activities like hiking and

344
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 2: via ferrata.

345
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:29,159
Speaker 1: Oh we must return. See, we're only doing the Milan

346
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 1: portion and like we said, we're going to the Olympic

347
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: opening ceremony and we're going to see some figure skating.

348
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: But wow, does cortad Betso make a case for being visited?

349
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: And did you know there's a Hollywood connection?

350
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 2: You don't say.

351
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: The town's dramatic scenery has been featured in several films,

352
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: such as The Pink Panther nineteen sixty three, not the

353
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: Steve Martin Beyonce version, which I know you all think

354
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: is better and for your eyes only, the nineteen eighty

355
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: one James Bond movie. And during the Paralympics, Courtina will

356
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 1: host the alpine skiing, snowboarding and wheelchair curlling events, as

357
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: well as the Paralympic Winter Games. Opening ceremony, Go Quurtna Go.

358
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 2: So they're splitting the opening ceremonies among these two cities.

359
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 2: Because I was gonna say, I wonder there are other

360
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 2: venue towns and cities throughout northern Italy that did not

361
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 2: make the name cut. It's Milan Courtina. The rest of

362
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 2: these towns are equally as amazing. Oh, they unfortunately are

363
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 2: not the namesake Olympic host cities.

364
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 1: You couldn't fit them all. You couldn't do it because

365
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: then it'd be Milan Courtina, Levigna, Bormeo, Tesesero. Uh that

366
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: so uh.

367
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 2: And then and then it sounds like you're you're you're

368
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 2: making fun of the culture, which I am not. You're not,

369
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 2: But then it starts to border on disrespectful territory. I

370
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 2: think I think they really thought about us when they

371
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 2: picked these cities out and said, you know what would

372
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 2: be easiest for pronunciation Milan Courtina, for Mountain Bowen, for

373
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 2: their hit podcast.

374
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: Well that's we are the Milan Courtina of America.

375
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 2: What do you think you are?

376
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: I think I'm more Courtina.

377
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 2: That's interesting.

378
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: You think you're Milan.

379
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 2: I could be Milan.

380
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: Did you just said you could be Mulan and I

381
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: could be Mulan. You could be Mulan and Milan.

382
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 2: This is our performance in Italy. We're doing a stand

383
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 2: up hour very like Restless Lug Tour Tina and Amy,

384
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 2: but it's called Mulan and Tina, Mulan and Tina and

385
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 2: you do your Mulan and I do my Tina Fey.

386
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: Greek icons the way it makes sense, the way it

387
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 1: makes sense, because what people don't know about Tina Fey.

388
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: It's her real name is Elizabeth Stamatina Fey. Okay, yes,

389
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: and that's her real Greek ass name. And guess what,

390
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: she doesn't even need those glasses. No talk about Lavigno, Lavigno, okay.

391
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 1: This is located in the Italian Alps. Livigna will host

392
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 1: the snowboarding and freestyle skiing events. Levigna is known for

393
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 1: its duty free status, which makes it a popular shopping

394
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: destination for items like fuel, alcohol, and electronics. It is

395
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: also famous as a high altitude ski and snowboard resort

396
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 1: with extensive slopes, snow parks and a long season, and

397
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 1: offers a wide range of summer activities like hiking, mountain

398
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 1: biking and water sports. A in the surrounding Stelvio National Park.

399
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: It is known for its local alpine cheeses and has

400
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 1: a vibrant appray ski scene with numerous restaurants and bars.

401
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 1: One thing I will say, as someone who can't ski,

402
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 1: I would be so good at the app ray part.

403
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 2: But the app ray part implies that you do the

404
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 2: ski part before.

405
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: Uugh, this is my rub, This is my rub.

406
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 2: You could do like five hundred pushups while your friends

407
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 2: are on the slopes, and then you join us for

408
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 2: a cheese.

409
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, and like, wow, all that skiing we.

410
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 2: Did, right, I don't know that.

411
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: Are you going to try to let the slopes while

412
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 1: we're there because you are a skier?

413
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 2: Well, I think they're going to close them down.

414
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: You're probably right, king.

415
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 2: I think that that's not going to be for the

416
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 2: lay people. I think that's reserved for the Olympians who

417
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 2: are there for a purpose.

418
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: Well, I don't like you calling yourself lay ah, honey,

419
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: talk about Borbio.

420
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,159
Speaker 2: Bormeo, also located in the Italian Alps, will host the

421
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 2: men's alpine skiing. Okay, I'm there and ski mountaineering about.

422
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 2: That's where they are, That's where they keep the men.

423
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: Sometimes I just stand outside the men's restroom. That says

424
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: men on the door. I say, oh, well, that's where

425
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 1: they are.

426
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 2: That is the slightly dirtier version of that. What do

427
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 2: y'all want, Joe, you that you make every single city.

00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 2: that that we just have Spa towns throughout the world.

431
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 2: Is nice that human beings have found springs.

432
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: It's so nice in different culture. Indulgence is international.

433
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 2: It's international.

434
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: It's actually real coachre number eight international. You didn't think

435
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: we could do it on this podcast, but we did.

436
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 2: We did. I want us to talk about this because

437
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 2: Bormeo is known for a delicacy called pizza catti.

438
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: Pizza ketti and scat.

439
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 2: And local cheeses. Now, scat is fried cheese, which is

440
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 2: really really really interesting to me.

441
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:36,360
Speaker 1: It's really amazing.

442
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 2: You take an indulgent thing and make it even more indulgent.

443
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: You fry it.

444
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, But pizza ketti is pasta, cabbage and potatoes boiled

445
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 2: together then layered with two types of cheese into a

446
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 2: casserole like dish. So it's giving mac and cheese studied abroad.

447
00:22:56,280 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 2: It's giving lasagna, but a little bit it a little

448
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 2: bit cheek, a little bit of potato and cabbage a

449
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,360
Speaker 2: little bit. And I don't mean to put a bad

450
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 2: ring to this. It's giving peasant food in a way

451
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 2: that is really good to me. As someone who grew

452
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 2: up with spaghettios and loving spaghettios, this is for me.

453
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 2: I can't I need to go to Bormeo and try

454
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 2: the men and the pizza catti.

455
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, this struck me as being your culture. This also

Speaker 1: well known for its vibrant traditions, including the Christmas event

470
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: Tesro and its cribs featuring hundreds of Nativity scenes, and

471
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 1: the summer event Le Cote. The town features did I

472
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: say that right?

473
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 2: It sounds right?

474
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: I have to tell you, Like when we did the

475
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: Paris podcast, it was just a roll the dice whether

476
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: I was going to say any old thing correctly. So

477
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: let's just say the town features a historic center rich

478
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 1: with churches. Good, Okay.

479
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 2: Our producer Sean is telling us tet tes t.

480
00:24:56,760 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: Te t tes Okay, so everything I said before. Imagine,

00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 1: I said.

482
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 2: He I imagine.

483
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 1: Hey, the town features are historic center, rich with churches, frescoes, sundials,

484
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:16,719
Speaker 1: and other architectural artistic elements. I love.

485
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 2: I hope they keep the Nativity scenes up.

486
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 1: Please please, just until we get there.

487
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 2: This is my thing?

488
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 1: What's your thing?

489
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 2: Where's this town storing all of the little plastic baby Jesus' is,

490
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 2: the Mary's, the Josephs, the wise Men, the Andrew, Gabriel,

491
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 2: the Manger. I mean, this sounds like a storage nightmare.

492
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: Unbelievable, the things they have to get rid of when

493
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:47,160
Speaker 1: it's not Christmas. Where do they go? It's just it's

494
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:53,360
Speaker 1: one of those Christmas secrets. Like Sannah, he's gay lext up.

495
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 2: We have predat So located just to the east northeast

496
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 2: of also uh the valdimme Yeah, also in the val

497
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 2: you know, every now and then for our dumb American brains,

498
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 2: if you try to write things out and put the

499
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 2: stressors on certain syllables, we're too stupid to really make

500
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 2: sense of this. Our producers are just a group of

501
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 2: well meaning, wonderful men.

502
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: They're normally trying to get us to pronounce things correctly,

503
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 1: and then it is a fools errand.

504
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 2: And normally they're dealing with talent quote unquote like us,

505
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,959
Speaker 2: but not like us, because these are people who know

506
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 2: what they're talking about, and they have the particular challenge

507
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 2: of having us really really going through the morass of

508
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 2: this knowledge. But we are doing our best, and we

509
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 2: love them for it.

510
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 1: Suffice it to say, I am going to say this

511
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 1: next one correctly Predatso. Okay. This will host the ski

512
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: jumping events and the ski jumping portion of the Nordic

513
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 1: Combined events. There's also Anenterselva and Antolts those will host

514
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 1: the biathlon events. And finally, Verona will host the closing

515
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: ceremony of both the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. And

516
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 1: of course, Verona is most famous for being the setting

517
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 1: of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliette, which ended in death, unlike

518
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: the Olympic Games Milan Courtino, which will end in triumph,

519
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 1: some disappointment and us performing.

520
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 2: We need to perform at the Verona Jazz Festival, which

521
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:30,880
Speaker 2: is also known for.

522
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 1: What if we sing for good at the closing ceremony?

523
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 2: In Italian?

524
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm into it. I love the idea so much.

525
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 1: I'm willing to learn.

526
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 2: I'm just pitching that because you can. I want to

527
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 2: push ourselves. I think we would sound incredible in Italian. Absolutely,

528
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 2: Andlli's to Andrea Pocelli's you have the Italian vibe.

529
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: I have the Italian vibecause I'm from Long Island and
