1
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: Ring ring.

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 2: Pick up, pick up, pick up.

3
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:09,799
Speaker 1: Hello, Hi, it's us.

4
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 2: It's us two guys, five rings, Matt Rodgers and Bawn Yang.

5
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 2: This is our Olympics podcast. It's off to the races.

6
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 2: I mean, it's quickly claimed. At this point, we're four

7
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 2: episodes in. We can only assume anyway.

8
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: We can only assume that we've already won some awards

9
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: for this. Now, Matt, when I say the word newness,

10
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,599
Speaker 1: m what is the free song? What's the sensation inside

11
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: you that you feel?

12
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 2: Can I be honest? Yes, When you say newness, I

13
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:46,480
Speaker 2: think efficiency, cleanliness, I think low stress. Really yeah, newness.

14
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 2: Remember I'm a city planner, so when I think newness,

15
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 2: I think practicality. I'm always thinking like how do we

16
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 2: get from place to place? You know what I mean? Like?

17
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 2: How do we make things clearer? How do we make

18
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 2: things easier?

19
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: Uh huh.

20
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 2: Here's what I think about where we're at in society.

21
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 2: We need to call we need to make things more streamlined.

22
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, I'm with you. What about well, I guess

23
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 1: I'm thinking more in terms of like there's a new

24
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: blank in town. As Vanessa Williams once said famously in

25
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: the trailer for her Desperate House Life season is in your.

26
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 2: House in town. See, I'm I guess I'm just I'm

27
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 2: so stuck on like how we make things work that

28
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 2: I'm not thinking about like new stuff. But maybe I'm

29
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 2: thinking about a lot of repackaging. That's what I'm thinking of.

30
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 2: I'm like, how do we move? I have very Tomorrowland

31
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 2: sense of newness, but you're thinking of frontier.

32
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of frontier Land and not tomorrow Land. But

33
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: I guess they're both kind of the same concept, right,

34
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: it's thinking about the future. Can I say what I

35
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: think of when I think of newness? Yeah, I think

36
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: of We call it a burst in graphic design. It's

37
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: like on a bag of chips. Let's say, when it

38
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: says new flavor, Like there's like it's like it's like

39
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: that little circle with a bunch of rays poking out

40
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: like bursts. It's a burst like new flavor. Yeah, new

41
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: phone model, new car model, Yeah, yeah, I love new carsmell.

42
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I just got a new air freshener.

43
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 2: So excited?

44
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: Is it new car? Smell?

45
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 2: No, you know what it is?

46
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: Well, then I don't know why you brought it up.

47
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm sorry.

48
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: I think we're talking about factory settings. Yeah, and I

49
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: love that.

50
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 2: You know what, I completely understand that, and I think

51
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 2: for the purposes of this episode, we should go with

52
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,399
Speaker 2: more what you're thinking, because there's there's a lot of new,

53
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 2: really exciting stuff happening at the Paris twenty twenty four Olympics,

54
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 2: and there's even some new events.

55
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 1: There's one new event specific.

56
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 2: There's even one new event.

57
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: There's one new event, and there's one event that has

58
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: a new.

59
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 2: Name, yeah, and a sort of a new edge and

60
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 2: a new edge. There's a new bombshell at the Villa.

61
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 1: There's a new bombshell at the Villa, as Venizza Williams

62
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: once said, it's a new attitude, as Patti LaBelle said,

63
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: oh yeah. And one some of these events have new rules,

64
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: as du Alipa said, absolutely.

65
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think she did say that, and I would

66
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 2: agree that it applies here. Just before we get into

67
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 2: the five rings section of the show, I want to

68
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 2: stay in the two guys section and it does relate

69
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 2: to one of these new events. So just spoiler alert

70
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 2: for the five rings section. The new event is breaking, yes,

71
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: literally breakdancing, and I want to ask you Bowen in

72
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 2: any point in your life. Were you someone who break danced? No?

73
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 2: And were you? Were you ever? Because I just I

74
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 2: don't know why I have this image of Young Boon

75
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 2: Yang in my head, like young you like talking about

76
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 2: like seven or eight years old, like absolutely popping, locking, dropping,

77
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 2: like doing breakdancing. I just in my minds, I see

78
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 2: you as a very excited, spry child. Was a new

79
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 2: dance around a plenty.

80
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: You thought I was. You thought I was biting. I'm

81
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: just looking at some of these breaking terms biting. You

82
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: thought it a powerhead. I was a cipher cat. A

83
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: powerhead is someone who loves to practice, to mostly practice

84
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: and perform power moves in their breaking. A cipher is

85
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: like a circle that breaks form and dance in. If

86
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: you're at a breaking event, you'll just see multiple ciphers

87
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: around the room happening while the DJ spins music in

88
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: between breaks and the competition wow breakers going to cipher

89
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: when at a time to dance. Okay, we need to

90
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: save this for the actual five rings portion, because there

91
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: is a lot of fun stuff happening and breaking that

92
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: I would love to talk about.

93
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 2: To just get into one hundred percent. But I do

94
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 2: have to say, like, just because you. Bowen Yang is

95
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 2: famously like famously a Dance Dance Revolution icon. Like when

96
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 2: he was younger, he would go play GDR and that's

97
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 2: why I learned, like really throw it in the face

98
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 2: of everyone that worked there, and like really shut down

99
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 2: any competition that stepped towards him. Yeah, and I just

100
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 2: I don't know. I just think of this. I think

101
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 2: of Dance Dance Revolution as breaking adjacent and so I

102
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 2: guess that's why I brought it up. That's why I

103
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 2: associated a potential with you.

104
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: That's very nice. Look, maybe if this is the matrix

105
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: we're living in, and it is, you know, Morpheus can

106
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: give me the little can download that into me. Yeah,

107
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: and I will learn it and I will know it.

108
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: But not here, not in this matrix.

109
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 2: Can everything just fall away from one second? And let

110
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 2: me ask you a question. Red pill or blue pill?

111
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: Neither? Oh my god, I'm staying.

112
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 2: They're gonna kill you. They're gonna kill you if you

113
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 2: don't choose, They're gonna kill you.

114
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: Here's where I'm pilled Olympics pilled.

115
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 2: Is that I is that where pilled came from?

116
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: I think like you're red pilled, you're blue pilled, Like

117
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: it's oh.

118
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 2: Wow, So being something pilled actually dates to the matrix.

119
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: That's where I draw the connection.

120
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's where you stop asking questions.

121
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: And so I guess I'm blue pilled.

122
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 2: And thank you for answering my question. And see, that's

123
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 2: why you have to always think like a lawyer in

124
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 2: the way that I just did like a lawyer, because

125
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 2: you have to get people to admit something in a

126
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 2: roundabout way when they refuse the first time I asked

127
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 2: you a direct question or you read pilled or blue pilled,

128
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 2: and then I had to ask follow up questions based

129
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 2: on your psyche, and I eventually got to the fact

130
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 2: that you are blue pilled. You don't want to know

131
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 2: the truth.

132
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: You would be a trial lawyer when you like the performance.

133
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 2: I did tell you that. Like when I was younger,

134
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 2: that's what I wanted to be. I wanted to be

135
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 2: a lawyer. I love to get up and sort of

136
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 2: twirl in front of people and say and isn't it true?

137
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 2: But actually, if you know that, you can't really say

138
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,119
Speaker 2: and isn't it true, because that's leading the way leading.

139
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 2: So all these movies and television shows you've seen where

140
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 2: a lawyer said and isn't it true, mister Belafonte, that

141
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 2: you did this objection constructing the jury? Is that one

142
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 2: of them there's leading the witness, badgering the witness hearsay

143
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 2: asked An answered, which is my favorite. I love when

144
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 2: someone is talking to me in real life and they

145
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 2: have said this a million times and say this and

146
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 2: I go objection, asked An answered.

147
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: Can I tell you mine what objection? Why is this relevant?

148
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 2: Relevant? Objection? Relevant, irrelevant?

149
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: Blonde and legally blonde. That the prosecution literally was just.

150
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 2: Like, WHOA, I have a point, I promise, then they

151
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 2: make it.

152
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: But I think that lawyer goes, why is this relevant?

153
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 2: Yep? So good, yep, objection? Why is this relevant? That

154
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 2: lawyer turned it? That lawyer as another iconic line, when

155
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 2: I reached with this, Phene comes into the jury and

156
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 2: she's gonna represent Ellie Larder, and the other lawyer goes,

157
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 2: I have no problem with this.

158
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: And when Shutney confesses like they cut to her and

159
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: she goes her jaw drops.

160
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 2: I didn't mean to shoot him the door. Oh my god,

161
00:07:59,080 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 2: oh my.

162
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: God, oh my god.

163
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 2: Levond is, without a doubt, the greatest film of all time,

164
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 2: of all of our generations. It would win a gold

165
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 2: medal to match her blonde hair if they gave medals

166
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,239
Speaker 2: for film, but they don't. They give oscars for film,

167
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 2: and the movie was what snubbed.

168
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: When we come back from our break, we will go

169
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: into by rings and talk about the new sports and evats.

170
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 2: See after the ranking on the bend.

171
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: We're back.

172
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 2: We're back to talk about I mean at number one

173
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 2: on what's happening. What's new is the fact that breaking

174
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 2: is the loan sport making its Olympic debut. Now, we

175
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 2: talked a little bit before this break about what breaking is,

176
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,599
Speaker 2: but by definition, the official definition from the Olympics of

177
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 2: breaking is the dance battle sport characterized by acrobatic movements,

178
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 2: stylized footwork, and the key role by the DJ and

179
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 2: the MC during battles. This is really fascinating.

180
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: There is going to be an Olympics DJ on the

181
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: floor and an MC depending on the matchups for this event.

182
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: I am so excited. I'm true. When I found out

183
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 1: about this last year, I was so thrilled, gooped gagged.

184
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: I was like, I can't wait to watch this popcorn

185
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: in the bowl on my lefe.

186
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 2: It's gonna be amazing. It's gonna be really really, really cool.

187
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 2: So the NBC. Our friends at NBC have said the

188
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 2: sports techniques include top rock, which is standing footwork, and

189
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 2: down rock, which is moves on the floor. So top

190
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 2: rock when you're vertical, downrock when your horizont Then there's

191
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 2: power moves, which are twists and spins, and the freeze

192
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 2: when breakers freeze and poses while using their heads or

193
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 2: hands for support. So that's that thing of like where

194
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 2: they're sort of using you know, their body weight and

195
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 2: like defying gravity as it were if Alphabet were a judge.

196
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: Can you perform a for me right now?

197
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 2: Yeah? Ready?

198
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: Yes, that wasn't so good?

199
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 2: That was good. Can I tell you something. I could

200
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 2: never be a breaker. Never. I'm more of a someone

201
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 2: who rolls his body than my hit.

202
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: You have to move, you can't praise, You can't.

203
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 2: See this when I'm doing a very sexy movement with

204
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 2: my shoulders and this is more my thing.

205
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: Your more perpetual motion. And this is about stopping.

206
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is about control and I have almost none.

207
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: What I'm excited about is it seems like they're really

208
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,959
Speaker 1: honoring the history of breaking as it relates to hip

209
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,839
Speaker 1: hop history. Our NBC friends are saying sport originated in

210
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: a rec room in the Bronx where legendary DJ named

211
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: cool Herk debuted a new technique that's centered around percussive

212
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: breaks in songs. So this is when in the breaks

213
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: people would start dancing, and so that created the term

214
00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: break dancing. So breaks are central to the form to

215
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: this event.

216
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a gold medal favorite bee Boy Victor and

217
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 2: then Sonny Choi or B Girl Sonny is also competing.

218
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 2: Do you know B Girl Sonny?

219
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: I met Sonny in Can last summer. We were hanging

220
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: out for promotional things for NBC stuff. She is the

221
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: coolest girl. I met her beautiful partner. They are so

222
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 1: lovely together. She's got the partner. He's so cool. But

223
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: hello again. From the podcast Airwaves, she was working at

224
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: Esday latter.

225
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 2: This is amazing.

226
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: This is what you forget is these Olympians have the

227
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: day jobs and they are oftentimes so fascinating, especially in

228
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: relation to the events that our Olympians perform in.

229
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, this says she was director of Global Creative Operations

230
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 2: at Esday Lauder and she quit that job to focus

231
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,559
Speaker 2: on breaking full time. That's insane, like people are leaving

232
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 2: really great jobs to fulfill their passion and it's taken

233
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 2: them all the way to the Olympics. But we should

234
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 2: do an episode about all these athletes day jobs. Someone

235
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 2: write that down.

236
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: Someone write that down. I think we could go in

237
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 1: the Olympic Village, as we said last episode and kind

238
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: of do a Man on the Street TikTok style or

239
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 1: you know, wide video. It doesn't have to be vertical.

240
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 2: Bring back Man on the Street.

241
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,199
Speaker 1: They're trying to but some of these TikTok people don't

242
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: have it. They don't have no to borrow return from

243
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: gen Z there is. Back in my day, man on

244
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: the Street was you had to have something, You had

245
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: to have the X factor. Ross Matthews in turn Ross

246
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: at the Tonight Show. Billy Eichner one of the best

247
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: to ever do it, one of the best people to

248
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:45,839
Speaker 1: be on the street. I would love to be on

249
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 1: the Olympic Village square with my sister Matt Rogers and

250
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: ask these people what their day jobs are slash worse

251
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 1: slash will be.

252
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 2: We would do great work there because can I say,

253
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 2: back in the day when Bowen and I were coming up,

254
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 2: you had to do everything you had to be an

255
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 2: actor a writer. You have to be able to, you know,

256
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 2: sing your music. You had to write your music that

257
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 2: you sang, otherwise you'd never get a deal. You would

258
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 2: have to be able to dance or at least move

259
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 2: and do a choreography. And you'd have to be able

260
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:14,959
Speaker 2: to do Man on the street and.

261
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: Make your own posters for your shows. But more importantly

262
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: man on the street.

263
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 2: I have a question about breaking. Is it binary or no?

264
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 2: Is it everyone's competing altogether? I is binary.

265
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: I think there is a man in women's breaking event. Hold,

266
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: let's look this up. Breaking confirmed binary? Confirmed binary? Who

267
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 1: confirmed it?

268
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 2: No, I'm just saying in a world where we can

269
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 2: confirm it, it is a confirmed binary sport. I am interested

270
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 2: to hear, because.

271
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, there's b boying and be girling events. All right,

272
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: sixteen b boys and be girls competing for two metal events.

273
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: What if your men went from women? IOC president Thomas

274
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: Box stated that they added break dancing as part of

275
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: an effort to draw more interest from young people in

276
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: the Olympics. Well, if I count as young, which I don't,

277
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: and it's working.

278
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, I think I'm excited about this. First and foremost, now,

279
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 2: but also this next event we're going to talk about

280
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 2: in terms of newness. You know, this is more my

281
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,839
Speaker 2: definition of newness, like, how do we make it more

282
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 2: streamline inclusive, how do we make it streamline? How do

283
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 2: we really say what this is? So it's no longer

284
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 2: synchronized swimming, and guess what it kind of never really was.

285
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 2: It's artistic swimming. Artistic swimming is what we are calling

286
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 2: the sport in which we see people in the water

287
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 2: give art pop. This is the most art pop event

288
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 2: we have seen thus far. There's breaking which is up

289
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 2: there in terms of art pop, and then artistic swimming. Now,

290
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 2: whenever I get in the water, consider it artistic swimming.

291
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 2: By the way, I'm giving art pop whenever I swim.

292
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 2: But there's been major changes to this event to really

293
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 2: take it to the next level. For example, men are

294
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 2: now allowed on teams. Congrats to men.

295
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: We have to be more inclusive to men. Let them

296
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: swim dance, Let them swim dance, let them do a

297
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: Buzzby Berkeley routine in the water. For God's sake, For

298
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: the first time in the history of the Olympics, male

299
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: artistic summers will be allowed to compete in Paris. Up

300
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: to two men per country may compete in the team competition,

301
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: so not more than two. I guess baby steps, baby steps,

302
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: But I really want to see a bunch of guys

303
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: in a circle kicking their legs up doing the same move,

304
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: and then a champagne, a big champagne coup rises out

305
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: of the water, and then there's more guys on that

306
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: I'm I want. There should be a Buzzby Berkeley metal

307
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: event for artistic swimming in the future, is what I'm saying.

308
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 2: This can evolve, and it has evolved, and it can

309
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 2: evolve to be what you want it to be.

310
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: It can for LA twenty twenty eight, we're thicking ahead,

311
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: could be something that we consider.

312
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 2: Could be something. Wow. To think that in four years

313
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 2: the Olympics are going to be here in La in

314
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 2: my backyard.

315
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 1: So cool.

316
00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 2: This is so freaking cool for the so but yeah,

317
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 2: so if you go out there and you call it

318
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 2: like synchronized swimming, you're going to sound like a rube

319
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 2: a rub and you'll be shamed for it.

320
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: In the village.

321
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 2: A lot of people asking how do artistic swimmers hear

322
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 2: the music? Because famously Bowen, I don't know if you've

323
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 2: tried this, but when you swim underwater, it can become

324
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 2: difficult to.

325
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: Hear sound waves travels.

326
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, sound it's so, but it is different. I mean

327
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 2: everything's just a little bit more different underwater. It's kind

328
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 2: of like going to Vire Island. How time works differently there. Yeah,

329
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 2: it's like sound works differently underwater. NBC has this to say,

330
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 2: a set of underwater and pool side loudspeakers allows swimmers

331
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 2: to hear their music and stay in sync, whether submerged

332
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 2: or performing with their heads above the surface. So they're

333
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 2: playing the music underwater basically. So it's like a hard

334
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 2: rock hotel. You ever been to a hard rock hotel

335
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 2: and gone under the water in the pool.

336
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: I can't say that I have, but now I want to.

337
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 2: I'll take you. I'll take you. We'll go to hard

338
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 2: rock hotel. Oh, you create at the NBC Universal Resort.

339
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: Yes, I just want a pool like this anywhere. I

340
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: don't think hard about hotel should have a monopoly on

341
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 1: pools with speaker systems underwater. Like I would love for

342
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:16,400
Speaker 1: this to be a feature in a fire Island house. Yeah,

343
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: in a house on the beach in Miami. Not on

344
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: the beach but you know, like a house, a house

345
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 1: in Miami, I should say listen.

346
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 2: I think if you want a home with a pool

347
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,199
Speaker 2: that has an underwater speaker, I think you can do that.

348
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 2: You just got to keep working. You've got to keep working,

349
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 2: just keep keep the money coming in, and then you

350
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 2: can put all that money invested into a pool with

351
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 2: an underwater speaker, and then you can get what you want. Bowen,

352
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 2: But you have to you have to make these things happen.

353
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. I know my worth internally, and

354
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 1: it is definitely worth a pool with an underwater speaker system.

355
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: I am worth at least that much.

356
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Well let's see.

357
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the five rules of artistic swimming.

358
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 2: Yes, it's really important to know the rules, yes, Purtacey,

359
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 2: if swimming dot org, these are rules for life as well. Yeah,

360
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 2: so I've went out there looking to become an artistic swimmer.

361
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 2: Just know that these are the basic tenants.

362
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 1: Never touch the bottom except me, You can't touch the

363
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 1: bottom of the pool at any time. Just keep treading

364
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 1: water and things will work out for you.

365
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. But if it's bow when you may touch the

366
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:28,919
Speaker 2: bottom next. You don't need bling, no jewelry, no theatrical makeup,

367
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 2: no inappropriate costumes. If you look at photos of artistic swimmers,

368
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 2: they all still look fabulous. So we're keeping it very minimalist.

369
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 2: It should be about the swim dancing, not the extra coutrement. Okay,

370
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 2: this isn't a drag show. This isn't Rue Paul's artistic

371
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 2: swimming Olympics event. Keep it simple, keep it classy, keep

372
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 2: it together.

373
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,400
Speaker 1: Keep it unembellished and unadorned.

374
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

375
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: Next, the more people, the better. Teams normally contain eight swimmers,

376
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: but the minimum number for a team is four. You

377
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: lose points when you have fewer swimmers because it's easier

378
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,679
Speaker 1: to synchronize with you. We're swimmers, although I guess we

379
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 1: are up to two men per country they can be

380
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: in the team competition. So maybe there's a certain composition

381
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: that is specific to the Olympics, but that seems to

382
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: be the general rule of thumb for artistic swimming events outside.

383
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,719
Speaker 2: So the more people, the better, like you could probably

384
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 2: you would look more impressive if it was sixteen people

385
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 2: all swimming instead of just two. But I will say

386
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 2: if it is just two, you can probably because you

387
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 2: only have two people to look at. You can probably

388
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,959
Speaker 2: see the mistakes. Oh then again, it is the Olympics,

389
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 2: so they're not going to really make mistakes exactly.

390
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 1: But it's like, gosh, somebody, the commentators and the judges

391
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: for the synchronized diving, those eyes are trained because they

392
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 1: are picking up on things that I'm like, how did

393
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: you possibly see that? Yeah, but these are experts, y'all.

394
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 2: Next rule, stick to the schedule of people. Routines can

395
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 2: be anything from two and a half minutes to five minutes,

396
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 2: but you'll be penalized if your routine is off by

397
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 2: fifteen seconds. Oh wow, so you really it's like there

398
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 2: is a program. Your song is your song, hit your

399
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 2: beats and do not overstay.

400
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 1: This is I don't know, this is very I take

401
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 1: an issue with this because what if someone wants to

402
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 1: do a routine to a mordem a Vie by Billie Eilish.

403
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 1: That's a seven minute song I think.

404
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 2: You couldn't do but Daddy I Love Him by Taylor Swift.

405
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 1: Certainly an All Too Well ten minute version.

406
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 2: No, you couldn't even do the regular version of All

407
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 2: Too Well. And honestly, I want to see that swam

408
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 2: dance too. I want to see someone artistically swim to

409
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 2: All too Well more than I want most things. And

410
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 2: I want so much, bo I want so much in life.

411
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 1: But how badly do you want this?

412
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 2: Not bad enough that I'm willing to make an issue

413
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 2: with the Olympic Committee. But I'm not happy about this

414
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 2: rule at all. And I have integrity, and I know

415
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,679
Speaker 2: so do you, and so we're speaking up on this

416
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 2: podcast to say this rule is book and they need

417
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 2: to be able to extend it a little bit, to adjust,

418
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 2: include the length of Taylor Swift All too Well, because

419
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 2: we have as a culture have not heard that song enough,

420
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 2: and we haven't talked about that song.

421
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: Enough now, and we certainly haven't swam to it artistically enough.

422
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 2: Until we do. This conversation is ongoing.

423
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 1: Absolutely, no goggles is the last rule. This rule may

424
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: not be a great rule for life. If you want

425
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 1: to wear goggles in real life for any reason, you

426
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 1: can wear goggles as long as if.

427
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 2: You want to wear goggles, wear goggles.

428
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 1: As long as you're not obstructing your own view for

429
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: something that requires your attention, if you're not operating haaving

430
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:29,679
Speaker 1: machinery in quitting.

431
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 2: A car, or if you want to compete in this

432
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 2: Olympic event because no goggles, that's the rule. Honestly, chlorine

433
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 2: is such a problem when you dive into these waters

434
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 2: and you open up your eyes down there, like chlorine

435
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 2: is going to be a major issue. So I my

436
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 2: heart goes out to these artistic swimmers.

437
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: They're bloodshot, they're blood shot. Finally, let's talk about a

438
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: new ish event, which is surfing. But the news here

439
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: is that it is not going to be in parissed

440
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: because you're thinking it's a landlocked city. They're certainly not

441
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,360
Speaker 1: going to surf on the river, sin are they? Where

442
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: are they surfing?

443
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 2: Now? Well, it will take place in Tahiti. We're gonna

444
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 2: cut to Tahiti. We're gonna be leaving the Parisian streets

445
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 2: like Eiffel Tower. We'll check back in with you in

446
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 2: a second, because the Paris surfing competition will take place

447
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 2: in Tahiti, which is ten thousand miles away. The setting

448
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:25,360
Speaker 2: has been called breath takingly beautiful and punishingly tricky. Wow.

449
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 2: This sport made its Olympic debut in the twenty twenty

450
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,360
Speaker 2: Tokyo Games. It's new ish. There are two surfing events,

451
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 2: Men's short board and women's shortboard. And by the way,

452
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 2: a short board is a smaller surfboard, generally in the

453
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 2: five to seven foot range, designed for maximum speed through turns.

454
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 2: So you're gonna be seeing your twists, your turns, your dips,

455
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 2: your dives on these shorter boards than usual.

456
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: I can't even wrap my head around surfing. If you're

457
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: telling me you're supposed to do it faster.

458
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 2: I know, listen, it's one of those things you're not

459
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,479
Speaker 2: gonna see me try. I'm not gonna try surfing now.

460
00:22:58,520 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna try skiing now.

461
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: I just I think feel like frustrating. I think you

462
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 1: would You think I would like skiing.

463
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 2: You always say this, but it's like, I don't know.

464
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 2: I think I'd like a ski atmosphere.

465
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,120
Speaker 1: Don't you want to feel like Gwyneth? Don't you want

466
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 1: to feel.

467
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 2: Like what crashing into men? Give me a break. If

468
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:22,959
Speaker 2: I want to feel like Gwyneth, I'll go to Goop kitchen. Okay,

469
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 2: she did really good work with that.

470
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 1: I'm sure that sounds good to me.

471
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 2: Now, do you know what goofy footed means? Do you

472
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 2: know what it means to be goofy footed? When you

473
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 2: serve means you go, that was really good. Lorn bone

474
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 2: as a goofy bone, as a goofy bone as a

475
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 2: goofy could be interesting. Olympics are coming up. Goofy footed.

476
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: No, of course I know what goofy footed means. It

477
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,360
Speaker 1: means a surfer who serves with their right foot forward.

478
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: I think I would be goofy footed. No, no, I

479
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 1: think I'm regular footed, which is the left foot.

480
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 2: We should start calling gay guys goofy footed. Well, you

481
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 2: know he's goofy footed.

482
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: He's goofy footed. Hmm, what does that mean?

483
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 2: He serves with the right foot forward. If you catch

484
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 2: my meaning, if you gather my meaning, I don't. A

485
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 2: regular footed describes a server who serves with their left

486
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 2: foot forward, also called natural footed in Australia.

487
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 1: Now maybe that's why I'm leaning towards that. I'm a

488
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: very natural person. So that's why I'm thinking maybe I'm

489
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: regular footed. It's the way God wanted me to surf,

490
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 1: which is not to surf.

491
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 2: Body made right, body made right, God created.

492
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 1: Now I want to say this name to you, and

493
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: I want you to tell me picture her in your

494
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 1: mind's eye. Carissa Moore.

495
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,719
Speaker 2: First of all, I play her in a movie. Carissa

496
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:40,919
Speaker 2: Moore is definitely my name in the film.

497
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: Yes, well, guess what this is what the movie's about.

498
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 1: It's about coming back for more after you took home

499
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: the gold for surfing in Tokyo. But guess what those

500
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 1: were some depressing Olympics, weren't they. Now she's back for

501
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 1: the I'm sorry, the real thing, the real thing in Paris,

502
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 1: and she's coming back to the gold for women's shortboard.

503
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 2: I support her. I feel very connected to her without

504
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 2: really knowing at all anything about her besides what you

505
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 2: just said or what she looks like. Carisa Moore, When

506
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 2: you strap that little strap onto your ankle, I don't

507
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 2: care if you're goofy footed or regular footed. You have

508
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 2: both of these goofs in your corner. Two goofy footed

509
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 2: podcast hosts want you to take home the gold more

510
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,360
Speaker 2: than anything, sister, and we're gonna be watching and willing

511
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 2: your victory.

512
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 1: Thank you.

513
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 2: There are several other new events that come out. We'll

514
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 2: just run through them quickly before we give our medals out.

515
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 2: There's women's bantamweight added in boxing to get closer to

516
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 2: parody among genders, and men's light heavyweight has been dropped.

517
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: Men's and women's extreme k one for the canoe slalom.

518
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: Am I saying that right, slalom slalom, mixed team skeet

519
00:25:56,240 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 1: for shooting skeet skt sket skeet skeet, thank you. Sport

520
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 1: climbing wereorganized into speed events men and women, and combined

521
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: bouldering and lead events rather than a single event comprising

522
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 1: all three disciplines.

523
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 2: I am so excited about this next one. There's mixed

524
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 2: team thirty five kilometer racewalk. Do you know the racewalk

525
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 2: is a very competitive thing?

526
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: Yes, but is it interesting to watch to you as

527
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: a track as a former truck star.

528
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 2: As a former track star. Let me tell you something. Yes,

529
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 2: my best friend was a racewalker and her name was Sam,

530
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:35,640
Speaker 2: and she was one of the best racewalkers. And it's

531
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 2: there's so much more to it than you think, and

532
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 2: there's so much more to it that makes it difficult.

533
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 2: Like one foot has to be on the ground at

534
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 2: all times, and they're watching you the entire time to

535
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 2: make sure that's the case. And like it's a very

536
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:47,880
Speaker 2: technical thing.

537
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: I mean thirty five kilometers long, so these people, the

538
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: judges are focused up watching the ground making sure one

539
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: foot is on it at all times for a while.

540
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean it's actually really hard to not

541
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 2: pick up your both feet when you're competitively moving, like

542
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,640
Speaker 2: as someone who ran a four thirty six mile. Wow,

543
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 2: I know that both my feet were off the ground

544
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 2: during much of that. I could not have moved very

545
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 2: quickly had I had my one foot on the ground

546
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 2: at all times. Like all respect to these people, I

547
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 2: wonder at an Olympic racewalker what their mile time is

548
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 2: racewalking I've been. It's shockingly low.

549
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: Of course, of course it is. Can I say something? Yeah,

550
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: I don't see myself as a bee boy, and that's

551
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 1: your fantasy about me. But my fantasy about myself is

552
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 1: that I would compete in the racewalk. I'm a fast walker.

553
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 2: You would be amazing. I'm telling you, bowhen Yang, walking

554
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 2: with a purpose is Olympic racewalk material. And I very

555
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,159
Speaker 2: confident saying that I put you up against any of

556
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 2: these people. I think if you learned form, we would

557
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 2: see the first ever Saturday Night Live cast member Olympic racewalker.

558
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,400
Speaker 2: And that is your legacy. I think.

559
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: You would be.

560
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 2: You're already like such an apple of NBC Universal's eye.

561
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 2: If you went and competed in the racewalk, I don't know, Bowen,

562
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 2: I think you could take over the world.

563
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: Could be very cool.

564
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 2: I would be so emotional on the sidewalk, on the sidewalk,

565
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:16,400
Speaker 2: on the sidelines, watching your racewalk.

566
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 1: You'll be on the sidewalk.

567
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 2: I'd be like wiping away to yours, like my sister

568
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:21,919
Speaker 2: is out there.

569
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: Walking thirty five kilometers. Well overall, Matt, wouldn't you say

570
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 1: that the Olympics are very open to new.

571
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 2: Sports queer Olympics this year. The openness, the inclusivity, I'm

572
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 2: loving it. Should we give it our medals?

573
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: Let's give it our medals. I would say Bronze goes

574
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 1: to surfing. Surfing in Tahiti, even.

575
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 2: If it's not as new. I mean, it's a little

576
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 2: bit new, and I love that we're like, we're so

577
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 2: committed that we're actually going to cut all the way

578
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 2: to Tahiti. But it gets bronze because to be honest

579
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 2: with you, like we are really focused on how to

580
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 2: make Paris a good experience. So that's cute for y'all.

581
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 2: I do kind of feel like, oh, it's a bummer

582
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 2: they don't get to experience like the opening ceremony, et cetera.

583
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 2: But it's like all the best to them, it's just

584
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 2: really giving bronze.

585
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: Oh no, I think they're gonna be at the opening

586
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: ceremony and then I think the surfing event's gonna be

587
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: later on, Like they're gonna they're gonna fly them out

588
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: in the days afterwards.

589
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 2: Really is that like tenable though? I mean, like, are

590
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 2: you gonna want to jel Yeah? I don't know. I'm

591
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 2: interesting to hear more about this, and there's many more

592
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:24,479
Speaker 2: episodes of the podcast, so we'll figure out.

593
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: I think Carisa Moore deserves to be at the opening

594
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: ceremony on a boat.

595
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 2: No doubt that charism Moore deserves that. But is it practical?

596
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 2: It's my only question. I guess Carissa would be the

597
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 2: one to ask.

598
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: I think Chrisa is gonna push for that. Where's her

599
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: Olympic village?

600
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 2: I agree? I agree. I hope they build a tiny

601
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 2: one into EATI yeah, like an installation. Yes, silver Metal

602
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 2: I think is going to go to artistic swimming. I

603
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 2: think that we've taken such positive steps forward. I think

604
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 2: now we know the rules, we really know what to watch.

605
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 2: I do think they could have really gotten the gold

606
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 2: medal here had they loud a length of competition that

607
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 2: would include Taylor Swift's all too well, it's just it's

608
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 2: stopping me from really being excited.

609
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's still a lot of limitations that need to

610
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: be undone for the full potential of artistics swimming to

611
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: be unlocked.

612
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 2: For such an open Queer Olympics. It feels sad, sad.

613
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: And finally I think we're gonna get gold to breaking

614
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: as the lone new sport. This is huge, This is historic,

615
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 1: and I think it'll really make a huge splash in Paris,

616
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 1: and then it has the potential to make an even

617
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 1: bigger impact in Los Angeles.

618
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 2: So La Breaking is gonna go really wild. It's gonna

619
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 2: be very exciting. And can I say I've not met

620
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 2: Bee Girl Sonny. I know Bowen has. I am rooting

621
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 2: for be Girls Sonny as I'm sure you are.

622
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 1: You guys would get along same as I'm excited. Oh

623
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: my gosh, she is one to root for and watch.

624
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: We have one question. We have one final question, ask

625
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: each other after the break and we're back. Matt. This

626
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 1: is what I was trying to get at earlier. The

627
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: Olympics are very open to new sports. As we've seen,

628
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 1: they are an evolving body and evolving events evolving. I mean,

629
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: this resembles nothing like the Greek Games of antiquity.

630
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 2: We've come a long way since ah increase absolutely.

631
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 1: What sports do we want to see in the twenty

632
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: twenty eight Summer Olympics in la We are an official

633
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 1: NBC Olympics podcast. I think we get to say, are

634
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 1: there any activities we're really good at that we law before?

635
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 2: I'm not good at this, but I would like to

636
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 2: see hopscotch out of to the Games. I think that

637
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 2: hopscotch is international. I think it would remind people of

638
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 2: what it was like to be a child. And I

639
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 2: think that what we're not seeing enough of is embracing

640
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 2: of the inner child. Yes, I think that artistic swimming

641
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 2: takes us closer, because who among us can't remember splash splash,

642
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 2: taking a bath as a young kid and having fun

643
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 2: in the water and sort of, you know, learning to

644
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:11,239
Speaker 2: express yourself under the water like artistically like and thinking, oh,

645
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 2: I wish there was music underneath the surface, and now

646
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 2: there is. I just I feel like we're moving in

647
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 2: a really positive direction there in terms of reconnecting the

648
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 2: inner child and like allowing the fantasy. We need Hopscotch

649
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 2: to be an Olympic sport. Bowen, what would you add

650
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 2: to the Summer.

651
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: Olympics Something laser based. It could be laser tag, could

652
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 1: be dodging lasers to steal a piece of.

653
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 2: Art, both both Olympic lasers.

654
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: I think lasers should be an event.

655
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, wait, that's really good. So like it's almost

656
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 2: like a triathlon where it's like the first room is

657
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 2: a room where you have to make it through sort

658
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 2: of Catherine Zaanda Jones and entrapment, like sort of get

659
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 2: through like the lasers. Then you get to a laser tag,

660
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 2: a moment where they give you a gun and you

661
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 2: have to like make your way through a room. And

662
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 2: then the last.

663
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: One is chasing a laser dot like a cat.

664
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, or you there's a hairy man on a table

665
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 2: in front of you and you have to do a

666
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 2: laser procedure on him.

667
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's amazing.

668
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 2: Every time we're thinking about it, every way we can

669
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 2: make this man hairless, and we're checking every fold. A

670
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 2: lot of hairy guys in France too, we could have

671
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 2: done this.

672
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 1: Oh, my God, not.

Speaker 2: Enough Harry guys in La. All these gay guys.
