You just said fifteenth. I 4 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:25,800 Speaker 1: could have sworn it was the sixteenth. 5 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 2: It's said on my computer the fifteenth, So on my computer. 6 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 1: Traveling, I will accept your your computer it's near there. 7 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 1: But we did want to. I wanted to. This is 8 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 1: a very me heavy episode. I wanted to do a 9 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 1: kind of quick update on the Olympics because we are 10 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 1: going to do an Olympic wrap up episode and then 11 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 1: that one will do a much more like the good, 12 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 1: the bad, the ugly, the controversy. This is just like 13 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 1: I watched a lot of Olympics, all of you, I've 14 00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: watched a lot, and so this is gonna be some 15 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: of the things I liked that. 16 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 2: I was stressed out, y'all. 17 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 1: I was stressed. I was stressed, and I'm not someone 18 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: who normally watches sports because they stressed me out. But 19 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 1: I was thinking about this. I think one of the 20 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 1: interesting things. One not a sponsor. As I mentioned, I 21 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,959 Speaker 1: had a free Peacock subscription because of our trip to Universal, 22 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 1: and so I was able to watch it live and 23 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 1: Paris is not It's like six hours ahead of the US. 24 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: So I was like, normally, if it's in Tokyo, I'm 25 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: not going to stay up and be watching it, you know, 26 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 1: all hours of the night. But this was kind of 27 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: live when I'm out and about, and so I'd be 28 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: researching one of our episodes and I'd have it on 29 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: in the background. So I watched a lot more than 30 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: I normally watch. You can see our a recent episode, 31 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,559 Speaker 1: part one of our twenty twenty four Olympic coverage. Again, 32 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: we'll have a second part, and again listeners if you 33 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: have any thoughts, but that we have some people who 34 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: are big into oh yes, yes, some of these sports, 35 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: some people who are big into the Olympics. Let us know. 36 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: But I did, I did want to start with this. So, yes, 37 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four Summer Olympics have wrapped up, and 38 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 1: there was a lot of controversy. We'll talk about that. 39 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about something else though, because, as 40 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: I said, I was watching a lot of it and 41 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 1: I just noticed that I was way more interested in 42 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: the women's competitions, and not just for obvious reasons. I 43 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: was also way more impressed when I was watching them. 44 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: I knew more of their names, and it turns out 45 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,679 Speaker 1: I may have been onto something you have. Yes, not 46 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: only did the US send more women than men three 47 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: hundred and fourteen women to two hundred and seventy eight men, 48 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,920 Speaker 1: the US women brought home more than half of the 49 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: country's medals. They won so many medals that by themselves 50 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: they would have I'm in third in the medal count, 51 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: behind the US and China. Twenty six of America's forty 52 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: gold medals are due to women. There were so many. First, 53 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: they were the breaking of droughts of like never have 54 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: won and they finally won. They were continued streaks, they 55 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 1: were records broken. As I said, I was so into it. 56 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: But here here are some of the ones that really 57 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: stood out to me. Okay, soccer, Yes, Oh my gosh, 58 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: this is what I was texting you about. Stressed. I 59 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: was so stressed because if anybody watched, I'm sure plenty 60 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: of you did, the soccer matches, the football matches they 61 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: were when the US was playing, it was like you 62 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: would get to the very end and no one has scored, 63 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: and so then it goes in overtime, and it just 64 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: feels so stressful and there were so many like close calls, 65 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: people almost making it and then not make it, and 66 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: I'm on the edge of my seat, my heart is pounding, 67 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: and I'm more involved than I thought I would be. 68 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: But the US women's team did win, and it was 69 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: really really cool to see. It was so impressive the 70 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: amount of ability with all of the athletes and all 71 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 1: of the kind of tricks they were doing. And the goalie, 72 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, the amazing catches she made. That was 73 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: so good. I also want to shout out the announcer 74 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 1: for this, because she went on an impassioned rant about 75 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: the health of the athletes and how that should be 76 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:52,239 Speaker 1: the foremost thing everybody's thinking about. She was angry because 77 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 1: she felt like the scheduling was not taking them into account. 78 00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 1: But also the fact that, and this is a problem 79 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: with the Olympics in general, they were kind of trucking 80 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: them out to a further away stadium that was prettier 81 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 1: when they were closer stadiums that they could have played 82 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 1: in and wouldn't have had this kind of travel time. 83 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: But I really really appreciated that. Yeah. Yes, and as 84 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: I mentioned in our first Olympic episode that we did 85 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 1: about the twenty twenty four Summer Olympics. I was just 86 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:32,160 Speaker 1: sending random quotes to some of my friends about the Olympics. 87 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 1: I think my favorite one was a random Snoop Dogg 88 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: quote about women's soccer where he said, this name is 89 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: Dennis the Menace and I was like, but I love it. 90 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: I love it. 91 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 2: I mean Snoop Dogg and Flavor Flav being the representations 92 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 2: for the US, I feel like we're pretty perfect. 93 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 1: It was very fun. 94 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 2: Snoop Dogg coming out to anoint the ground of the 95 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 2: breaking was actually on par with like, Okay, at the 96 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,919 Speaker 2: very least, we have a US rapper who was a 97 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 2: part of the beginning of some of the big rap names. 98 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, there's that last. 99 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: I guess yeah. He has oh so many excellent quotes. 100 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: It was really fun to hear him be so into it. 101 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: He was so into it. There was another quote about soccer. 102 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: It wasn't Snoop Dogg, but it was a male announcer said, 103 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 1: spared by the Trident out of context, that's fantastic. But 104 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: it's the three main offensive players. They work together and 105 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 1: they usually are the ones that get the goal. And 106 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 1: I think it was one of each of them got 107 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 1: for the three games. 108 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:03,359 Speaker 2: Nice. 109 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, so it was cool, but they were all just 110 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: one goal games. They were tight, tense. I loved it. 111 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: I wonder if y'all remember we brought on my good 112 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: friend Whitney to talk about soccer year ago, two years ago. Yeah, 113 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: the World Cup, and I wanted to reach out to her. 114 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: But if I was stressed, I could only imagine how 115 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: stressed she was, and I. 116 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 2: Wanted to appreciated that. 117 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: I wanted to wait until I knew the outcome. 118 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 2: And yeah, I did that thing world like, Oh the 119 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 2: women's Oh we messed it. They won, Like I went 120 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 2: from me. I was like, I did not realize they 121 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 2: already played. 122 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,679 Speaker 1: Okay, what I mean? It was nice if like sometimes, 123 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: like I said, I was watching most of this live, 124 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: but some things I would like if I missed it live, 125 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: you could cheat and look up spoilers almost, yes, because 126 00:07:58,080 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: it already happens. 127 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 2: Yes things, I have been watching these things. I'm like 128 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 2: the Sunny Lee. I believe she had a mishappen. I'm 129 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 2: see this is why, this is why I don't want 130 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 2: to watch these because it makes it She had a 131 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 2: great sense of humor about it. But I'm like this 132 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 2: freaks me out. 133 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, the gymnastics are so intense they make they stressed 134 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,119 Speaker 1: me out too, because somebody could fall at any minute. 135 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: And I believe what you're talking about is the balance beam. Yes, 136 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: well I think four people fell off and then some 137 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: moan biles later, I was asked about it and said 138 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:42,439 Speaker 1: it was basically a weird atmosphere because nobody was Everybody 139 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: was being urged to be quiet, and there was no 140 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 1: music and they even asked for music and they were like, no, 141 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: this is this is actually worse because when we practiced, 142 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: its usually sound or something. Yeah. So she said that 143 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 1: everybody fell off their game because it it was so silent, 144 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: not like a practice. 145 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 2: Some of these things make me believe the conspiracies that 146 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 2: have happened with the French hosting this, like parents hosting this. 147 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 2: French listeners won't be mad, but there are some things 148 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 2: that are like why are they doing that? That seems 149 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 2: like a purposeful setup, Like what is happening? Yeah, and 150 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 2: I'm like people were really upset about like the men's 151 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 2: basketball and you can talk about it that a second, 152 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 2: but like the men's basketball team winning and like really 153 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 2: angry and boollying. They were booing the US when they 154 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 2: were getting their gold medals. I was like, damn, and 155 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 2: I know one player I think, is it a French 156 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 2: player who decided to play for the US like he 157 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 2: could play for either one? Is that the several of 158 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 2: these incidents have happened, but I believe it. And he 159 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 2: got real booed like people were not happy. So I'm like, 160 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 2: y'all are not nice, Like you can't be acting like 161 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 2: this if this is gonna be hosted in your country. 162 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 2: I get, I get being like upset, but Dale. 163 00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: Yes, well that does bring us to basketball, women's basketball. 164 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:05,559 Speaker 1: But my conspiracy theories this was I this was the 165 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: second to last event that they broadcast. I think it 166 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: might have been the last event they broadcast, but the 167 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: marathon was the last medal awarded the women's marathon, which 168 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: they did purposefully because they've been all about gender parody 169 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,839 Speaker 1: and they want to switch. It's usually the male and 170 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: men's marathon men's sports, so they switched it. I, to 171 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 1: my shame, have not watched a lot of women's basketball. 172 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: I am very excited about a super producer. Christina, let 173 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: us know we're getting a women's sports bar. Yeah, no, 174 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: supero because I was having like I was stressed, but 175 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: I was having a great. 176 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 2: Time watching it. Something that everybody's excited about, like that 177 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 2: when you're watching the World Cup, when you're watching like 178 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 2: any of those things. I'm not even like a Braves fan. 179 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 2: And when like they were in the World Series, I'm like, Okay, 180 00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 2: cool the hype. 181 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, yes. And I was thinking about this because there 182 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,840 Speaker 1: is a certain part where it's like, I don't know 183 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: how I would feel if they had lost, you know. 184 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 2: What I mean. 185 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: But I had a great time. I like to think 186 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,679 Speaker 1: I would have thought that that was a good game. 187 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 1: I think as long as it wasn't an absolute crush 188 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: like got humiliated, I like to think I might be hurt, 189 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 1: but that was a good game. But they did win there. 190 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 1: It was their eighth gold medal, their like Olympic dynasty. 191 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: They had so many women from the past that they 192 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 1: interviewed about it and it was amazing. But it it 193 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: was against France, just like the men, and it was 194 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,079 Speaker 1: a tight game. There were plenty of times where I 195 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: was thinking this is over, this is over, and I 196 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 1: had watched their previous games and they were just doing 197 00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 1: things that were so amazing. I was in shock. Like, 198 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: I don't even know how you can coordinate that with 199 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,440 Speaker 1: other people without talking. It was I mean, years of 200 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: practice obviously, but whoa. And they weren't doing amazing things 201 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 1: in this one too, but it was just like a 202 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: brutal physical game. Yeah, and the announcers were kind of 203 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,320 Speaker 1: suddenly not so subtly saying like, this is the whistle 204 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 1: is going way more positively in France's direction in the 205 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 1: US dis direction, And I have to say, like, maybe 206 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 1: I got swept up, but I was like, I think 207 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 1: I think you're right. I think you're right. 208 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 2: I mean, there was several conversations with Cocoa cough, I mean, 209 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 2: and even with like again the gymnastics situation and far 210 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 2: with Jordan Childs and then what happened and who is 211 00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 2: the like there's so many things that it doesn't make 212 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 2: sense to me that I'm like, this is not very 213 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 2: sportsman like and I feel like it just killed the spirit. 214 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 2: But not that because obviously the US pulled through and 215 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 2: we were wonderful, but like, there are moments that are 216 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 2: like this. There needs to be a level of like 217 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 2: if there's going to be cammaderie, which is the whole 218 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 2: point of like world peace and friendly competition, then we 219 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 2: should allow for like fairness and all the way through 220 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 2: there seems to be a lot of pulling of tricks. 221 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, yeah, And I'm sure that's not a new 222 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,959 Speaker 1: I'm sure that exists in every Olympics, but it was. 223 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,679 Speaker 1: It was just funny to me because even I at 224 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: the end was like, ooh, I don't think. I don't 225 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 1: know about that one. I will say it was pretty 226 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 1: the loss, Oh my gosh, it was stunning. There was 227 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: like if France could score three points, it would tie 228 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 1: it and would go into overtime, and there was two 229 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: seconds left or something, and I think it was Gabby Williams, 230 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong, but she was a like 231 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 1: really good player from France's side. She made the shot, 232 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 1: but she made it from the three point line, but 233 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: she stepped on the line so it was two points 234 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: so they didn't make it. But that, I mean, in 235 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: my heart goes out, So that's that is brutal. And 236 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: it was down to the wire, Oh my gosh. But 237 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 1: it was also cool to see because again I watched 238 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: all their games. It was cool to see that that 239 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: some games some people would be specializing in something and 240 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 1: then it was clear their strategy wasn't working against another country, 241 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: so they would switch out. Yeah, Like it wasn't like 242 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 1: the spotlight went there. There were definitely some standout names, 243 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 1: but it was very much like who's the best in 244 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: this situation? And I really liked that, which also I'm 245 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: not going to talk about it in here, but I 246 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: was thinking about that, and when I was watching Track 247 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: and I was listening to the differences between women baton 248 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: the women's relay and men's relay, and because they're usually 249 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 1: competitors right on the team, but they were saying like, 250 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: the women's relay has just had such a history of 251 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: being very successful and the men's really does it. And 252 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that's what it is. I'm not saying 253 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 1: that at all, but I just couldn't help being like, huh, 254 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: that's interesting. 255 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 2: Like, yeah, the men's when I saw that, like the 256 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 2: fumble there was a fumble baton and it was like 257 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 2: what really? And then the women's were so damn smooth, 258 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 2: like to the point that the woman just it looked 259 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 2: like that she hadn't even grabbed it. You didn't even 260 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 2: notice until she's like, oh, it's in our hand. But 261 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 2: it was so smooth, and they like ran half the 262 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 2: track together. That's the other part. I was like, getting 263 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 2: what's happening? She has to RaSE our own people to 264 00:15:58,360 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 2: get to her. 265 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, I will say in fairness, I believe Noah 266 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: Lyle was supposed to be on the men's team team 267 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: but he had COVID. But this has been the case 268 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 1: for for a long time. They were talking about, like 269 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 1: can the US men's relay team finally break this because 270 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: they haven't won. Just something to think about. Yeah. I 271 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: also there was a lot of discussion around mental health 272 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 1: and gender parity from the announcers, from past athletes. That 273 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: was a huge theme throughout social media, the harms it 274 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 1: could have sometimes that was a big conversation. As I said, 275 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: the ending of events on women's events, and the women 276 00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: who won the medals in marathon were given their medals 277 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: during the closing ceremony. And there's just like legends like 278 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 1: some own Biles and Katie Ladecci, Tori Husk, like so many, 279 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:12,679 Speaker 1: so many, so many. That was really really cool and 280 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 1: I really liked seeing because they had some people who 281 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 1: were you know, younger and had seen these athletes perform 282 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 1: and were now able to compete alongside them, and it 283 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 1: was really cool to hear about that and how inspired 284 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,200 Speaker 1: they were by that. But we're still competing against them 285 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:36,199 Speaker 1: and competitive against them. I really liked that and the 286 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:41,160 Speaker 1: support of that as well. That was cool. I did 287 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,160 Speaker 1: love the memes. I must admit this was a meme 288 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 1: heavy Olympics, so many and then final note the closing ceremony. 289 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: There was a character called the Golden Voyager that I 290 00:17:56,080 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 1: have to say, from a distance, ooks like Disco Luke 291 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 1: to the point I almost posted on social media for 292 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,160 Speaker 1: the first time and who knows how long a side 293 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 1: by side she. 294 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,879 Speaker 2: Sent me a picture of y'all id a picture. 295 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,879 Speaker 1: I was in shock. Like once you saw him close up, 296 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,119 Speaker 1: I was like, okay, okay, But from that like distance 297 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:25,959 Speaker 1: from her hopes, I was like, Discolo, you're here? What 298 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 1: are you doing here? For anybody who somehow has missed that, 299 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,120 Speaker 1: Disco Luke is like my dragon car It's my cosplay 300 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 1: idea a lot. It's a very bizarre seventies Luke Skywalker. 301 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: It looks a lot like this fella, the Golden Voyager 302 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: at the Olympic closing ceremony. So that was a nice 303 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,439 Speaker 1: way for me to end it. I do have to 304 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: admit there was something very comical about stoop Dog singing 305 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 1: drop it like It's hot with a woman in like 306 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 1: a US bikini behind him, dropping it like It's hot 307 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,640 Speaker 1: for the send off to the LA twenty twenty. 308 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:07,120 Speaker 2: Eight U, which was hilarious, by the way, because everybody 309 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 2: was so angry except for the Tom Cruise drop in. 310 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,679 Speaker 2: They're like. The rest of it was over teleprompter, and 311 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 2: everybody thought they would be in France. Some people had 312 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 2: bought tickets to beat in France for the closing ceremony, 313 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,360 Speaker 2: and everybody, including Slipdog, who had previously been in France, 314 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 2: are all back in LA And I was like, what. 315 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 1: The what the hell?

I'm guessing this 318 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 2: was like an introduction to Welcome to LA since that's 319 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,919 Speaker 2: the next games. But it's still kind of funny that 320 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 2: people were like, wait, we were expecting this to be 321 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:47,640 Speaker 2: a live show.
