France has thirty six total medals, 0:00:14.480 --> 0:00:15.920 followed by China with thirty one. 0:00:16.079 --> 0:00:18.400 Welcome to Amy and TJ. This is who you have 0:00:18.480 --> 0:00:23.880 to look forward to just this weekend at the Olympics. Simone, Lebron, Ladecki, 0:00:24.120 --> 0:00:29.200 Marshawn Shakerrie Neta, Isaac Noah, the biggest stars of the 0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:31.280 Paris Games are all in action this weekend. 0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:34.800 This weekend, and specifically today. Also in this edition of 0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:38.520 Tea from Perry, a couple of heartbreaking, hard to watch 0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:43.600 moments for American men. First a demoralizing loss for the 0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:46.240 US men's soccer team, and then later in the day 0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:51.640 we watched as US swimming star cried and cried and cried. 0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:55.240 Also in this episode, the ongoing gender controversy has now 0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:58.920 led to an official protest by one country and an 0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:00.720 official complaint another. 0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:05.720 Plus Pharrell and the French President in the VIP rooting 0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:08.800 for the new King of Olympic Swimming. The oldest man 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:11.920 and the youngest man will meet in the tennis final, 0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:14.720 and a US runner pulls off a rare feat in 0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:16.040 a long distance race. 0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:20.000 And win gold and get a diamond a proposal in Paris, 0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:23.399 but was it the right time? And finally an expert 0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:26.800 in the field of microbiology gives us a definitive answer 0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:29.520 on one of the most talked about topics at the Olympics. 0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:32.120 And with that, we were watching and folks, as we 0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:35.479 get into this episode, Robot and I often record while 0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:38.119 we have the TV on live watching the early morning events, 0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:41.559 and we just saw something that drives home how heartbreaking 0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:44.800 the Olympics can be. We're watching the one hundred meters heats, 0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:48.720 the men's one hundred meters, the most prestigious title in track, 0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:52.280 fastest man in the world, first heat, first heat for 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:55.040 a guy from Great Britain, and his Olympics is over 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:56.520 before the race even s. 0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:59.880 He jumped the proverbial gun and it just by. It 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:03.880 was so hard to watch, and he tried to convince 0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:07.080 the efficients there on the track that you know, to 0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:09.800 give him a second chance or whatever. He was explaining 0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:12.280 for quite some time and it was frustrating the other runners, 0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:15.760 but eventually he did not run in protest. He had 0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:18.400 to just walk off the field. And his hopes crushed. 0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:20.680 Just what we're talking about four years, You've been working 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:24.040 for four years, and he gets to his first race, 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:28.040 the first heat, and it's over. He's been disqualified and 0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:31.639 it's over. That is a heartbreaking thing. And only can 0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:33.080 happen something like that, neilandas I just. 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:35.760 Kept saying, couldn't they just let everyone have a second chance? 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:37.760 It just I know, I get it, but it is. 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:40.440 It's it's so hard to watch. 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:42.240 If folks, it's something to keep an eye on as 0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:44.919 you're watching some of the sprints. You don't get Yes, 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:47.840 you get one chance. If you jump the gun, then 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:50.680 you are disqualified. They also have something. Their starting blocks 0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:53.800 have essentially little computers in them that can monitor how 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:56.280 quickly you react to the gun. They say a human 0:02:56.320 --> 0:03:00.639 being can't react quicker than I think a point a 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:03.200 tenth of a second, and if you do it faster 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:07.000 than that, it's considered actually you jump the gun, even 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:10.400 though you didn't take off until after the gun went off, 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:14.040 you still can take off too fast to where they 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:18.000 say you still anticipated the gun and didn't take off 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:19.280 when you heard the gun. 0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:20.760 That's what happened to this kid. 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:24.640 A computer essentially said, hey, you were too fast off 0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:26.480 the blocks. 0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:28.680 What a mind game too, There's so much going through 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:30.640 your head as an athlete. I can only imagine when 0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:33.600 you're at the height of your career with the chance 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:37.640 of metal and I just I can see it happening. 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:40.240 I can see it happening, even you're not trying to cheat. 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:42.960 It's just you're anticipating it in your nerves and you've 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:45.600 got a lot of adrenaline rushing. I just I feel 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:45.960 for the guys. 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:48.800 Jerema Azoo of Great Britain is out. He's right. 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:50.360 It was kind of dramatic there for a little while 0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:52.720 as he kept trying to make his case, but that's over. 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:55.560 We also watched Noran Lyles this morning. You'll see him, 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:57.520 of course, the US star. He was a little in 0:03:57.560 --> 0:04:02.120 his heat. He actually made the commentator the analysts made 0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:04.360 are a little nervous. She's like, hey, I would appreciate 0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:06.720 if he, you know, stepped on the gas a little 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:09.040 more than he did, because he ended up second in 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:13.440 the close, almost third in his heat, and he didn't 0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:16.040 look great. And he had a very honest moment in 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:20.279 his interview afterwards. He said, I didn't take my competitors seriously. 0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:23.080 I down played my competitors. It won't happen again. 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:24.599 I was gonna say, if you're going to do it, 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:26.080 at least do it in the heat where you just 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:28.520 it was just the top six to qualify. Correct? Is 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:29.320 that usually what it is? 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:32.160 Ish? God, we got our rules. Is the top two 0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:34.800 or three automatically go through? It might be the top 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:36.919 two in all the heats and so many heats, and 0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:38.159 then time comes into play. 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:39.360 But but he's. 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:41.839 Under estimating your opponent. Okay, he'll never do it again. 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:43.760 We shall see, we shall see. 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:46.320 Should we update the folks now about the river sin 0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:48.360 You want to do the update now? 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:50.680 Uh? Well, save it to the end. 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:51.599 Let's save it for the end. 0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:53.200 Okay, let's save it for the for them. 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:55.320 You all know they're talking about the river sence that 0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:57.679 water has been dirty and they cleaned and some guy said, 0:04:57.720 --> 0:04:59.520 I'm not going to wash my hands to try to 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:02.560 introduce oh E cola into my system. Blah blah blah. 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:05.159 Can you actually do that? We have a definitive answer. 0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:06.200 We'll get to that, all right. 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:09.880 Well, there was a definitive, definitive decision on what's going 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:12.360 on with the men's soccer team the US soccer team. 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:15.839 It is not good. They are out there. Metal hopes 0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:20.080 were crushed and it was brutal, Morocco besting the US 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:24.280 in a four to nil resounding defeat. You know, we 0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:26.920 planned the entire day around this game. We were excited, 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:29.320 we were racing to be set up and watch, only 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:32.719 to witness a very slow and painful demise for the 0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:33.440 American men. 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:36.360 It was I think it was just one Niel at halftime, 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:39.960 and then the wheels really really came off for this team. 0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:44.800 If you watched it from the jump, you always had 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:46.440 the feeling that okay, as a matter of time before 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:49.200 Morocco scores, they were constantly on the attack. They had 0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:51.279 good energy. They were out there laughing and smiling now 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:51.839 having a good time. 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:54.120 They were. It would look like they were having a party, 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:58.279 and the players were not. And one of our star players, 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:01.599 Kevin Prad's, gave this very soon statement after this game 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:04.800 describing what happened. He said, and I quote here, they 0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:08.640 kept scoring, we didn't. I don't know what other words 0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:11.560 I could say. And that really summed it up in 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:15.360 the simplest way possible. And even though they're out for 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:19.120 this Olympics, there is some hopeful news. A lot of 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:23.039 sports analysts who know more things than I do really 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:25.440 are looking forward to what's to come with this team. 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:28.359 Because all but three players on that team are under 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:30.599 the age of twenty three. They have a lot of 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:34.560 time ahead of them to grow and to improve. And remember, 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:38.080 this very young team that did not perform well against 0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:41.719 Morocco pushed the American men into the quarterfinals for the 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:45.279 first time since two thousands. So there's something there. We're 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:47.320 seeing a spark of something. 0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:50.760 Okay, and a lot of it ies okay, because we 0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:53.360 got to get ready now. World Cup is going to 0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:55.479 be around the corner. But this is two back to 0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:59.479 back major international tournaments that the United States has not 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.800 looked good in. The Copa America didn't get out the rounds, 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:05.200 playing in a home country, essentially. 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:06.800 Got out of the rounds this time, didn't get out of. 0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:09.320 The early stages, but got out this time, but then 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:12.080 had a It wasn't just got there was It was 0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:15.080 a terrible showing for Neil Walker Zimmerman, kind of one 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:17.800 of the older guys on this team. He questioned whether 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:21.440 or not they have the right mindset when you put 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:24.840 on that jersey. This is not guaranteed you're representing your country, 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:27.200 and he said there's some of that missing. It was 0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:29.160 a little critical of some of the younger guys. So 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:32.440 we'll see if that sticks. But man, we really want 0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:34.840 to see this team reached some kind of to be 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:36.440 able to compete on an international level. 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:39.840 Well, maybe the defeat, you know, that defeat with a 0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:41.360 little bit of hope, you know, they thought, wow, we 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:43.840 got out of we got out of the group rounds 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:47.200 and then this resounding defeat. Maybe that'll light a spark 0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:48.240 inside many of them. 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:50.400 Well, or maybe they should go to the Aquatic Center 0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:53.640 and see Leon Marcham do some swimming and get inspired 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:55.200 this dude. Have you have you been watching some of 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:57.880 the swimming. This kid, he's the star of the Olympics. 0:07:57.880 --> 0:07:58.920 He's the star of the pool. 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:02.640 You've been here. The crowd laon Leon. They've been rooting 0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:05.360 his name. But he is the guy he is. 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:09.000 Forgive me for the Michael Phelps comparison, but he is 0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:12.680 now in that conversation. He has broken some of Michael 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:15.320 Phelps records a few over the years, but now he 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:18.240 is that superstar. He is now four for four at 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:21.560 the Olympics, four races, four gold medals after ropes. He 0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:23.560 won the two hundred meters individual medley last night. 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:25.240 Yeah, when he popped out of the pool after that, 0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:27.280 he just put up his hands and put the number 0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:30.320 four and everyone knew what he was referring to, which 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:32.760 is pretty impressive. If you've just won four medals and 0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:34.960 they're all gold, you get to do that. Also, you 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:37.440 pointed out it's been fun to watch the French when 0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:40.760 any of their swimmers do the butterfly when they pop up. 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:44.040 Sorry I meant to say the breastroke. When they pop up, 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:46.880 they yelled, they chance so that their swimmer can hear them. 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:49.559 It was fun watching them do that, and they really 0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:53.160 go into a frenzy anytime Marshaun swims, including we saw 0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:56.480 French president Macrone who was there cheering wildly in the 0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:59.800 stands with Pharrell Williams nearby. So it's fun to see 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:03.120 the fans get so into it and get behind they're 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:06.320 a swimmer or just any swimmer who's that great to watch. 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:09.800 I don't think Maack wrong was putting on. I mean 0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:13.520 he was fanning out in a way that you don't 0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:15.560 see a lot of world leaders do. 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:16.440 That was just cool. 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:17.959 So it was a human moment. 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:19.320 Everybody gets into it, and we'll get. 0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:21.439 To see Moreshaan swim again this weekend in a relay 0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:24.160 and he'll have a chance for yet another goal, so 0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:26.320 maybe he can hold up a high five. 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:37.920 We have to turn down to this. 0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:42.240 From what you've seen through the end of the day yesterday, 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:45.760 ropes and today this morning, would just say it's still 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:47.320 a growing controversy. 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:52.280 Absolutely, absolutely, there are actually several new developments to tell 0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:55.800 you about. When it comes to the Algerian boxer Iman Khalif. 0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:58.880 We talked about it yesterday and I'm sure if you've 0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:01.880 even looked online in any way, you'll know she's the 0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:05.720 boxer who made those headlines after her opponent, Italy's Angela Karini, 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:09.480 quit just forty six seconds into their match, complaining that 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:12.719 the hits were just too hard, and then Khalif's eligibility 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:15.840 to compete was questioned once again by critics. She was 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:19.520 disqualified from last year's Women's World Championships after failing an 0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:24.160 unspecified gender eligibility test. That test itself has been in question. 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:27.800 It claims she had elevated levels of testosterone, but the IOC, 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:31.320 the International Olympic Committee, has maintained the Khaliph and she's 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:35.040 now a two time female Olympian, meets all the requirements 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:38.760 to compete. So here's what's been happening. Khalif's father is 0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:41.360 now speaking out in defense of his daughter. He even 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:45.319 showed reporters her birth documents and younger photos of the boxer, 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:48.440 stating she was born female, that she is female, and 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:51.240 he said the attacks against his daughter are immoral. He 0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:53.360 urged her to go all the way and win gold 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:55.920 for her country. But as she fights for that medal, 0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:58.800 her next match, which happens to be today, is getting 0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:00.000 nasty outside the rank. 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:04.240 This young leg what do you I'm disgusted by that 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:06.880 idea that someone has to pull out a birth certificate. 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:09.880 I know, okay, so I mean, look, I know things 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:13.320 have happened in international competitions before, and people have fabricated 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:15.760 documents before and all that stuff. But the idea of 0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:19.000 you're telling somebody essentially you need to drop trouser and 0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:23.000 prove to me what you are, that's that's disgusting. 0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:27.400 It's tough, and she's fighting, and look countries are getting involved. 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:31.559 She is fighting Hungary's Anna Luka Hamori, but the Hungarian 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:35.520 Boxing Association now putting out an official protest to the 0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:39.200 IOC to reconsider allowing Khalif to compete. That is not 0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:41.679 going to happen. The IOC is standing by its decision 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:45.800 and Hamori still plans to fight her. But here's where 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:49.640 it gets really, really gross and disgusting. She reposted a 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:52.840 disturbing image that depicted Khalif as some sort of muscled, 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:56.680 horned animal in the ring. A beast is what a 0:11:56.679 --> 0:11:58.600 lot of people are calling it. And she also was 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:03.080 reposting stories that continue to wrongly claim Khalif is not 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:06.760 a woman. Now, Maury has since shut down a lot 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:09.560 of that social media presence after those posts were discovered, 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:12.600 but it's still out there. So because of those posts, 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:16.160 the Algerian Olympic Committee has now submitted an official complaint 0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:20.720 to the IOC saying that she has violated the ethics 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:24.080 of the sport, referring back to those social media posts, that's. 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:27.560 What you mean by ugly, Yeah, that's awful. It was 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:30.640 encouraging at least the young lady. She beat the quit 0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:34.480 in forty six seconds. She did come out and essentially apologize. 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:37.120 She did, she apologized, so she didn't shake her hand afterwards. 0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:38.760 She said Actually, she got caught up in the moment 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:40.720 at that time, and that was the wrong thing to do. 0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:43.880 When she was sorry, she says she respects the IOC's 0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:44.520 the decision. 0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:46.320 They say, she can fight. I respect it. 0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:50.400 And it wasn't a snub necessarily. It was just that 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:53.480 she was angry that her Olympic dream had quo gone 0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:55.959 up in smoke, and that's why she didn't shake hands 0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:58.760 at the time. Maybe that will help with some of 0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:00.960 this conversation. I just got, don't what are you supposed 0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:03.520 to do? When can it go away? If somebody you're 0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:06.000 a woman and somebody's telling you you are not what 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:06.760 you are? 0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:11.480 Yeah, and no, it's really frustrating. There's so much misinformation 0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:15.520 out there that she's transgender, that she's intersects, all these 0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:19.000 none of that's none of that appears to be true 0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:23.000 at all. So it's hard to undo a rumor like that. 0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:26.200 You know, perception becomes reality, unfortunately, and so many of 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:29.280 these false stories that come out about anyone, it's really 0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:33.400 hard to get that back. So it's frustrating, but no 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:36.400 doubt it will be a spectacle to see what happens 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:38.439 inside the ring with all that's been happening outside of 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:41.520 the ring. That fight is scheduled for later today. I 0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:44.560 believe it's eleven twenty two Eastern times. 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:45.040 That's not ugly. 0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:45.840 I hope it isn't. 0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:46.400 It's not. 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:49.280 I mean, it's just it's it's it's like a powder 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:51.560 keg situation. I don't know. We'll have to We'll have 0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:54.640 to wait and see all. You know this this was 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:58.920 tough to watch and uh US swimmer Caleb Dressel, he 0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:02.640 broke down into yours after he was not able to 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:05.719 defend his Olympic gold medals in the one hundred meter 0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:08.720 butterfly the fifty meter freestyle. You know, he won both 0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:11.959 of those events just three years ago in Tokyo, and 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:14.760 it was a crushing defeat yesterday. 0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:17.440 This is a guy he is. This is how impressive 0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:20.160 he is. It's kind of cool that he's gold or bust. 0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:24.000 This dude's got eight gold medals and nothing else. He's 0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:26.680 no silver, no bronze. So he's gonna win the thing 0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:30.800 or he's just not gonna be involved. But he was 0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:35.840 crying and crying and crying. Yeah, it was an Olympic moment. 0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:37.760 This is a guy who's talked a lot about his 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:40.400 mental health after the last Olympics and wasn't enjoying swimming. 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:42.040 I had to take some time off from swimming got 0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:45.520 himself together. But it looked like everything in one moment, 0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:47.760 and we happened to all be there for it, and 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:50.400 it felt inappropriate at a time to even be there 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:50.880 watching it. 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:53.120 A lot of people were commenting that they did not 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:56.760 appreciate the decision to keep the camera on him because 0:14:56.760 --> 0:14:59.920 it just kept going, and people said it actually became 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:02.720 too heartbreaking and too devastating to watch, although I did 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:05.160 see there was one mother who said she was the 0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:08.360 mother of three young sons and she actually didn't mind 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:11.960 her son seeing that it's okay for men to let 0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:15.440 it out to be emotional too, Like that is heartbreaking, 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:18.040 that is devastating, and if you want to cry, you 0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:20.200 should be able to cry. And so she appreciated that 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:22.960 that was shown to be just to normalize it, and 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:25.520 that this is something that men do. This is something 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:28.160 that men should be able to do publicly, and it's 0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:29.080 okay to get it out. 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:32.520 It's okay to get it out, Is it okay? I 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:34.640 guess where do we draw the line. It's not a 0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:37.840 criticism necessarily of NBC and what they decided to do. 0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:41.240 But I guess to some folks it's felt like that 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:42.880 person needs a private moment. 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:44.040 You see, you're showing it. 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:45.800 It's happening right there, and he was in it, and 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:47.720 I think somebody finally came and got him, and that 0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:50.200 was his team doctor. Actually he was hugging someone who 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:52.880 has helped this Team USA with a lot of their 0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:56.720 mental health struggles, tends to them physically and mentally, and 0:15:56.760 --> 0:16:00.680 it was just a tough moment. We've done this plenty 0:16:00.720 --> 0:16:04.360 in television before. To where I have I have insisted 0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:06.560 after interviews I do. I said, do not put the 0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:08.920 part of them crying into the teas because that feels 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:10.640 like we're exploiting in some ways, it's a. 0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:11.840 Little too far. We'll put it in there. 0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:14.480 They cried, fine, but at some point it feels like 0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:17.560 it's too much like you're exploiting it for your own. 0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:19.640 That's a good way to pay purposes. Yeah, And because 0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:22.400 that's a decision by the director to stay on the shop. 0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:24.800 The cameraman's been told you stay on it, stay on it. 0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:26.800 There are all these decisions being made in the booth 0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:29.040 in real time, and it's okay. To second guess them 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:31.160 and wonder if it was the right one. 0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:32.240 But did you mind it? 0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:36.560 I thought it was a little too much, you know, 0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:38.600 showing it and acknowledging it is one thing, but I 0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:40.240 think at one point then it just becomes like this 0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:42.720 is a private moment that he should be able to experience. 0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:45.840 And I'm glad he was able. His doctor was able 0:16:45.840 --> 0:16:49.360 to get him far away from the camera's lens. That 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:51.760 was the right call we should mention. Though It's not 0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:54.200 as if he will go home without any medals. You 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:56.800 may remember, he's going to bring home one gold medal 0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:59.920 from Paris the four by four hundred meter freestyle relays. 0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:01.720 He is not going home empty handed. 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:05.359 That fifty Again, these these examples of just how devastating 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:08.880 the Olympics, just how heartbreaking it would be. The fifty meter. 0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:11.920 He came in sixth place in the fifty meter and 0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:13.600 this one was means. Of course, he didn't get a medal, 0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:17.280 but his time in this one was twenty one point 0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:21.800 sixty one seconds. Twenty one point sixty one seconds. He 0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:25.280 won this event at twenty one point oh seven seconds 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:29.359 last time around. That is a half a second. You 0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:32.000 can barely get your head around that you can barely 0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:36.719 just that is not even Yeah, is how much of 0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:39.360 a difference and it called went that goes from goal 0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:41.399 to not being on the metal stands. 0:17:41.440 --> 0:17:44.240 I can't imagine competing in those margins. I just I 0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:46.280 cannot imagine. 0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:48.840 Oh we got some Uh, this will be fun to 0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:52.040 watch the men's tennis final. It's actually going to feature 0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:56.199 two superstars on the tour, one all time great, uh, 0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:58.480 the other working to become an all time great. But 0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:01.720 they happen to be now the the oldest man and 0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:05.440 the youngest man to ever play in the Olympics final, 0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:09.000 Novak Djokovic thirty seven years old, and Carlos Alvraz of 0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:11.639 course twenty one. He's the new stud from Spain, who's 0:18:11.880 --> 0:18:13.960 a lot of people seeing as the next Nadal. But 0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:15.320 those two are going to go ahead to head and 0:18:15.320 --> 0:18:17.240 it's funny. The oldest man to ever be in the 0:18:17.320 --> 0:18:18.879 final and the youngest man ever to be in the 0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:20.639 final gonna be in the final together. 0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:23.119 And the crazy thing is Djokovic has the most Grand 0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:27.240 Slam wins in history, twenty four, but he does not 0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:30.240 have a gold medal. It is the one thing he 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:33.040 does not have, so you know, he wants that. 0:18:33.119 --> 0:18:35.440 I think he's oh in three, oh and two, he's 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:37.080 oh in three and see this is. 0:18:37.040 --> 0:18:40.080 His yeah, and this is his fourth attempt at his 0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:44.399 first gold medal. That's status. Well, you can take it 0:18:44.400 --> 0:18:44.840 for what it is. 0:18:44.920 --> 0:18:46.320 Can helper kind of root for him because you know 0:18:46.359 --> 0:18:48.639 it's probably gonna be his last around, But that'd be 0:18:48.640 --> 0:18:50.880 a fun match to watch. We have an American runner 0:18:50.880 --> 0:18:54.440 that has done something that Americas just don't do that much. 0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:57.320 In fact, an American has only done it four times 0:18:57.359 --> 0:19:00.679 now in the history of the Games. When a medal 0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:02.600 in the ten k race. 0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:04.560 It's funny. When you said ten k, I was like, wait, 0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:06.560
