Speaker 1: Tiff and I did it bandswerk with the girls earlier
Speaker 1: this year or actually that was last year. Now it
Speaker 1: looks good, oh sure was. Hopefully there's no bad bugs.
Speaker 1: We didn't have any bad bugs, but we heard things
Speaker 1: about bag bugs.
Speaker 3: But hopefully y'all.
Speaker 1: Can run clear from those like Shakiri. I'll get to
Speaker 1: that later, but July twenty sixth to August eleventh, and
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about some Olympics flashback moments because
Speaker 1: we were seeing some of these things.
Speaker 3: How many Olympics have we seen, y'all? I don't.
Speaker 4: The one I remember most was when I met Dominique
Speaker 4: Dawes in nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 3: Where'd you meet her?
Speaker 4: I didn't meet her. I met her on TV in Atlanta.
Speaker 3: I thought, yeah, never mind, I thought you actually met her.
Speaker 3: Of course we do, but I thought you actually met her?
Speaker 1: Okay, but you didn't go to the Olympics. So nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety six, Atlanta, tip, what about you?
Speaker 2: The first Olympics? I remember Flow Joe in what was that,
Speaker 2: eighty eight eighty, the late eighty eighty it was eighty okay.
Speaker 2: She I just remember her being so pretty, She had
Speaker 2: these nails, she was running, you know, and it was
Speaker 2: any Even in the eighties, seeing people who look like
Speaker 2: us do anything was still a big deal. This wasn't
Speaker 2: social media. This was before every household had cable, you know.
Speaker 2: And I just remember watching her, literally Flow. I watched
Speaker 2: Flow Joel Flow.
Speaker 1: I would like to know, as our resident sports experts,
Speaker 1: please Trivia, I'm here to serve.
Speaker 2: What answer for you?
Speaker 3: Do you remember what races Flow ran in the Olympics?
Speaker 2: Absolutely, she ran the track, uh in field race?
Speaker 3: Which race? In the track and field race?
Speaker 2: She ran the one hundred meter dash? You sure, no,
Speaker 2: but that's race. I know.
Speaker 3: She ran und two hundred Oh boom.
Speaker 2: I'm because I'm so good. You are knowing when I
Speaker 2: don't even really be knowing.
Speaker 4: She was the four by four team.
Speaker 3: Okay, I don't remember the four by four, but I
Speaker 3: believe it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she was four by four Angela. Let me tell
Speaker 1: you what she was running though. She was running circles
Speaker 1: around these holes on fashion, Yes she was.
Speaker 2: She would come.
Speaker 1: Through like the hood, the bodysuit, the one, the one.
Speaker 1: I'm definitely the nails, but I'm talking about the looks.
Speaker 1: Like all I wanted to do was be like flow Joe.
Speaker 1: So I respect that moment. We haven't. Well, we have
Speaker 1: a new flow Joe. I'm gonna get to my flash back.
Speaker 1: We have a new flow jo now. And she Carrie Richardson,
Speaker 1: and I just want to shout out this young sister
Speaker 1: because she has gone through so much. She had a
Speaker 1: great loss. I believe it was her grandmother who passed
Speaker 1: when during Olympic trials last time, and not the Olympic
Speaker 1: trials either.
Speaker 2: What was that was her mom. Yeah, I'm pretty sure
Speaker 2: it was her.
Speaker 1: Mom had okay, give me together, sports expert, give me together.
Speaker 1: But the point is now to see her making the
Speaker 1: kind of comeback that she's having.
Speaker 3: It's like more polished.
Speaker 1: They can't come at her about no wei, they can't
Speaker 1: come at her about anything but being her very best.
Speaker 3: She won a rasee.
Speaker 1: I think it was one hundred that she won and
Speaker 1: ran and then she just had like this fall from
Speaker 1: grace that you you know, and you saw her getting
Speaker 1: dragged in the media and on social media andrew to
Speaker 1: the point of a recent podcast episode in ways that
Speaker 1: just are unimaginable for any young woman to face. And
Speaker 1: now she's made this comeback. She is bold, she's dope.
Speaker 1: She is winning left and right, and she's humble about
Speaker 1: it and incredible still in her on her platform.
Speaker 3: So I just want to shout her out.
Speaker 4: Yes, such less at home in her person.
Speaker 3: How about that? Come on?
Speaker 2: So it was her mom. It was a week before
Speaker 2: her Olympic tryouts.
Speaker 3: Her grandmother is always at her race as you're right.
Speaker 2: She was raised by her grandmother and her But a
Speaker 2: week before Olympic trials her she spoke out and said
Speaker 2: that her mom had passed away.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well she is now.
Speaker 1: She is back with the vengeance and we expect to
Speaker 1: see great things from she.
Speaker 3: Carrie.
Speaker 1: So my flashback moment is the Dream Team. So I
Speaker 1: think you all will probably remember. But before nineteen ninety two,
Speaker 1: the Olympics had the United States Olympic team would always
Speaker 1: have basketball players from college, right They never and so
Speaker 1: they would win some, they would lose some, and somebody
Speaker 1: was like, well, why can't we play our pros. They
Speaker 1: decided that year that NBA players should make the team.
Speaker 1: And this particular Olympics was incredible for me. Nineteen ninety two.
Speaker 1: They had Magic, they had Jordan, they had John Stockton,
Speaker 1: they had Karl Malone, they had Patrick Ewing, they had
Speaker 1: Larry Bird.
Speaker 3: I mean McDonald did.
Speaker 2: Not have Isaiah.
Speaker 3: Yes, good, they did not. Okay, do we know why
Speaker 3: do you want to tell us sports expert?
Speaker 2: Well, this is only for my super insiders when it
Speaker 2: comes to sports. Purportedly because of the beef between Jordan
Speaker 2: and Isaiah Thomas or was it Magic and Isaiah Thomas,
Speaker 2: because both they both had beef, and they both had
Speaker 2: beef because the Pistons, who Isaiah Thomas played for, walked
Speaker 2: off the court without shaking hands with the Chicago Bulls.
Speaker 2: M HM, and Magic and Isaiah were cool. But then
Speaker 2: when they played each other in the game, they got
Speaker 2: into a little tussle, and so I guess they figure
Speaker 2: Magic and Jordan, we don't want Isaiah Thomas. You're welcome
Speaker 2: for that inside note that is so good.
Speaker 1: There was one college player selected on this team too.
Speaker 1: It was Christian Latner, who to this day, I'm sorry, Christian,
Speaker 1: I still don't like you because you stepped on that
Speaker 1: black man's chest from Kentucky back in the day.
Speaker 3: I still don't fool with you like that.
Speaker 2: What is that story.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you about it on another time because I
Speaker 1: just want to get to my dream his story, but
Speaker 1: I want you all to know that he was chosen.
Speaker 1: Just like Clyde Drexer was chosen over Isaiah Thomas, Christian
Speaker 1: Latner was chosen over Shack. I know they regret that
Speaker 1: because Christian Layner did not show up in the NBA
Speaker 1: like he did at Duke. So I digress. Now, the
Speaker 1: dream Team, this particular dream team, meant everything to me,
Speaker 1: and I think to so many kids adults alike all
Speaker 1: over the country. McDonald's. He even had the promos like
Speaker 1: they were going in hard. But this particular team, I
Speaker 1: don't know if y'all remember, but Magic Johnson announced he
Speaker 1: was retiring from the NBA in the fall of nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety one. This team was announced before his retirement announcement
Speaker 1: related to HIV AIDS and they still had Magic play.
Speaker 1: So it was our opportunity to see Magic play even
Speaker 1: after he retired from the league, and it was in.
Speaker 1: It was an incredible showing. And I'll tell y'all, I
Speaker 1: don't know if y'all noticed. Magic Johnson is my favorite
Speaker 1: basketball player of all times. I traded my cousin Leanne
Speaker 1: her my Michael Jordan card for her Magic Johnson basketball card.
Speaker 3: That's how much of a Magic Johnson I was.
Speaker 1: Because he was my favorite player. I wanted the Magic
Speaker 1: Johnson basketball card. Noven I made him your favorite player.
Speaker 1: Oh oh, I thought you were saying, why did I
Speaker 1: do the trade?
Speaker 3: No, he was my.
Speaker 1: Favorite player because he played with such like flawless grace,
Speaker 1: the way he did the no look passes, and he
Speaker 1: always I think I feel like he always preferred his
Speaker 1: teammates above himself. He was always happy. I loved his energy.
Speaker 1: He was dope handles.
Speaker 3: Like he just he was. He was smooth.
Speaker 2: He was smooth, and he knew he knew how to
Speaker 2: do the skyhook, which, according to HBO scripted series Winning Time,
Speaker 2: he was taught by Kareem Abd.
Speaker 3: You got it.
Speaker 2: According to the Winning Time series, did y'all watch Winning Time?
Speaker 3: Yes? I actually did watch it. I understand maginicing them
Speaker 3: don't like it that much.
Speaker 2: Hey what, I don't understand why that's so good?
Speaker 3: I mean, they make magic look a little out here,
Speaker 3: look at but you better watch it. That's still magic.
Speaker 2: I just.
Speaker 3: I just got to tell you all feel about magic.
Speaker 4: Has a six summertime vacation with friends that I would love.
Speaker 2: They knew that vacation looks so fun. Our girl Hollie
Speaker 2: Robinson is on there.
Speaker 4: It's like fifty couples on a yacht.
Speaker 2: Miss Tina be there.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, you all right, y'all.
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a quick break and we'll be right back.
Speaker 1: So any well, here's the thing. Before we get too
Speaker 1: far down the road on the yachts, I wanted to
Speaker 1: get back to the Olympics and just ask y'all, what
Speaker 1: are you looking for with this particular Olympics season. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna set election season, see how we condition see how
Speaker 1: we conditioned with this Olympics. What are y'all looking forward to?
Speaker 1: What competition? Which player, which star? Which who are you
Speaker 1: looking forward to seeing? What you're looking forward to seeing?
Speaker 2: Well, I know the answer to this, but I'll ask
Speaker 2: you guys, for the benefit of our viewers. Do they
Speaker 2: still do the Dream Team?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 2: Then I'm looking forward to that.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, I feel like it's.
Speaker 2: A little on a dif. What's his name from the Knicks,
Speaker 2: Jaylen Brunson. I want to see him on the Dream Team?
Speaker 2: Have they announced the Dream Team? They have annound the
Speaker 2: Dream Team. Let's look at who's on this year's basketball team.
Speaker 2: You want to know the women are the are the men?
Speaker 2: Because there's a women? Well, I know who's not on
Speaker 2: the women's team. Kaitlyn Clark didn't make it. But Angel
Speaker 2: Reese didn't make it either. And though like I care
Speaker 2: about Angel Reese the most, just because I've heard the
Speaker 2: most about her, I don't know a lot of the

Speaker 3: I didn't think he was, but I went to double check.
Speaker 2: He needs to rest up for next season. Ok So,
Speaker 2: now the NBA Draft is this week. There's no chance
Speaker 2: that any of those people will make it, too, because
Speaker 2: the team is already selected.
