1
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:11,040
Speaker 1: The coolest opening ceremony ever period in this special edition

2
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:11,959
Speaker 1: of Amy and t J.

3
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 2: That's right. French style and flare and history and of

4
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 2: course the unbelievable production prowess. We just saw. Wow, it

5
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 2: was on full display, all happening at the opening ceremonies

6
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 2: of the twoenty twenty four Paris Olympics. They are underway

7
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 2: and it was a ceremony where for the first time

8
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 2: we saw just the athletes entering away. They never have

9
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 2: in the opening ceremonies. They were floating down the Seine

10
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 2: instead of walking into a stadium.

11
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, but before we saw all that history, we had chaos,

12
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: a coordinated transit attack just before the ceremony caused fits

13
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: at the time, travel fits, but it's going to cause

14
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: travel fits for some days.

15
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 2: To come, that's right. And also in this very special episode,

16
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 2: sex is back at the Olympics. It was gone for

17
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 2: a while in case you didn't know. And COVID unfortunately

18
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 2: is also back at the Olympics. A gold medal coach

19
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 2: has already been kicked out of the Olympics.

20
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: Also, the trend spin makes its debut at the Olympics.

21
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: We will be break dancing at the Olympics and what's

22
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: with the commercials for the Olympics.

23
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 2: That's right, Well, yeah, we're going to talk about all

24
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 2: of that and more. Welcome to our first Olympics edition

25
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 2: of Amy and TJ. You can check in here. We're

26
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 2: going to be on every single day during the Olympics

27
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 2: on iHeart for all the Tea from Perry. That's what

28
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 2: we're calling in and it's everything you want to know

29
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 2: about the game.

30
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: I'm still not married to that title, you know, as

31
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: long as I don't have to say it while am

32
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: I complaining? But first impression, I don't know if it's

33
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: just I don't think there's much of a debate about

34
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: it being the best opening ceremony we have ever seen,

35
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: but this was actually one of the best television productions

36
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: I've ever seen.

37
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 2: I was blown away the entire time, from start to finish.

38
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 2: I know that you and I have covered these we've

39
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 2: actually been in the stadiums, and as exciting and as

40
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 2: amazing as that is, they get a little boring sometimes.

41
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 2: I mean that's just it just goes on and on

42
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:22,399
Speaker 2: and on. To put on a three plus hour sensation

43
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 2: is tough to do. It drags a little such it

44
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 2: was for though four right, and it was. I mean

45
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 2: I was riveted from start to finish. I thought it

46
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 2: was jaw dropping Lincoln.

47
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: We slowed down a little bit now, as as great

48
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: as it was, Yes, you are right, I get what

49
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: you're saying, but there was a little point. We'll get

50
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: into a little bit here for a second.

51
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 3: But you can't help.

52
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: But in a four hour broadcast somewhere it has to

53
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: slow down. But from start, when they started rolling down

54
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: the river, if you will, the sin the river sin,

55
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: I should say, it goes right through Paris. That's when

56
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: the show really really began. We heard about this being

57
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: something ropes that they had never tried before. We're always

58
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:06,399
Speaker 1: used to seeing athletes walk into a stadium Olympic stadium.

59
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: This year they literally put these folks on a river.

60
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: I can't commend whoever came up with that idea, and

61
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: then to pull it off, to.

62
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 2: Pull it off in blinding rain too, I mean, to

63
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 2: see the weather, it did not cooperate. And yet we

64
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 2: saw not just the unbelievable pomp and circumstance, but we

65
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 2: saw acrobatic acts that you'd think would be very dangerous

66
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 2: in blinding rain. And yet they pulled it off. I mean,

67
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 2: the unbelievable shows that were going on over the bridges

68
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 2: along the banks of the Sein. It was all coordinated,

69
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 2: perfectly timed, just the production value from the cameras. And

70
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 2: to think that they hadn't had rehearsals. They couldn't have rehearsals.

71
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 2: This wasn't in a stadium where they could do things

72
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 2: and nobody was watching. This was along the sind and

73
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 2: along bridges that couldn't be shut down for practice.

74
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: I guess a couple of seasts were did I guess

75
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: the rumors were true?

76
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 3: Right? Lady Gaga showed up.

77
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: She was very kind of kicked off the show in

78
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: a lot of ways, and I love it, even when

79
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: I guess she'd been rumored for so long, and even

80
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: when we saw the production start is raining and she's

81
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: coming down these steps, they kept those whatever.

82
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 2: You call them, the feather fans, the feather.

83
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: Fans in front of her, and it kept the mystery

84
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 1: still going, even though we had a good idea of

85
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 1: who was going to be. I thought that was a

86
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: great reveal in a great moment, and she's always a

87
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 1: great performer.

88
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 2: I couldn't believe what it would be like to be her.

89
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 2: You know, you're walking down the steps into this sine.

90
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 2: All of Paris in the world is watching you. By

91
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 2: the way, I think they were estimating over one billion

92
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 2: people watched opening ceremonies, So to perform on that kind

93
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 2: of a stage in the middle of Paris, I just thought, Wow,

94
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 2: this has to be one of like the pinch me moments,

95
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 2: even for someone like Lady Gaga.

96
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: And as they're rolling down you you comment, I wish

97
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: we would have had a separate camera on that would

98
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 1: have just been like a fashion can on you. Because

99
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: listening to your commentary as the athletes were rolling down

100
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: the river, that's gonna be my thing now down the river,

101
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: your commentary about each of the delegations and how they

102
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: were dressed was just fantastic.

103
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 3: I said that leading up to see the.

104
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: Excitement and how cool it was to see the athletes

105
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: on all of those boats having I mean parties as

106
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: they were coming by. Of course, the US delegation the

107
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: largest one there five hundred and ninety plus athletes. That

108
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: boat was packed and it was a party the whole time.

109
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: But then some of the smung with that delegations that

110
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 1: have three athletes or seven athletes having.

111
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 3: To share a boat with other delegations. It was cool.

112
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 3: It was cute. That was the biggest moment they're probably

113
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 3: going to have.

114
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 2: It was awesome, What a great idea it was. Watching

115
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 2: it was like watching a parade, but in the coolest

116
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 2: of ways. And I loved it. And some boats were

117
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 2: more fun than others. Let's just be honest, but it

118
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 2: and even in the raid, I mean they soaking wet.

119
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 2: If you all watched and saw these athletes had big

120
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 2: smiles on the face, but they were soaked to the bone.

121
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 1: The broadcast, I don't understand how the timing of it

122
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: went the way it did. As far as watching it

123
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: at home, everything seemed perfect. This went off without There

124
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 1: wasn't a single hitch, and I was watching very closely,

125
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 1: even the simplest of things when you think about the

126
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: rain being added into it. Nobody even slipped down a

127
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: flight of steps, which you would assume was a possibility.

128
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: But to see how they were able to weave in

129
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: so much of French history, so much of French sometimes

130
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: even what is stereotypical French, they seemed to have even

131
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: fun with.

132
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 2: At times they depicted a menagatoire and that I started laughing.

133
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 2: It was all of the different things that France has

134
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 2: produced and that stick with us, that we forget we

135
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 2: could attribute to France. I wasn't thinking Manajatoa, but they

136
00:06:58,160 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 2: went there.

137
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 3: They it was kind of like they they were winking

138
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 3: at us when they did it. They just got it. Yeah,

139
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:03,799
Speaker 3: well we know what you're thinking.

140
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 2: I appreciated it. I thought that was very clever. And

141
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 2: of course one of my favorite moments was when they

142
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 2: brought in Lema's rob I just thought it was so

143
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 2: well done and beautiful, and then it turned into this

144
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 2: heavy metal band and Marie Antoine. I mean, it was

145
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 2: like watching an unbelievable Broadway musical. Paris is your stage,

146
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 2: and they just pulled it off unbelievably well.

147
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: And obviously we were waiting. We got the Lady gagat surprise,

148
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: and then the Celine Dion. It was I don't know

149
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: how you would do this ceremony without her, but I mean,

150
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: given what we know she's been going through health wives

151
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: for the past several years, to see her step out

152
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: on this stage like this felt like a comeback of

153
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: sorts in the biggest of ways, in the most iconic

154
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: of places. It was the most perfect way to wrap

155
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: up the ceremony.

156
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 2: I mean I have honestly, so you look, I have

157
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 2: chills right now reliving the moment when she sang under

158
00:07:59,960 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 2: the Eiffel Tower, or right there on the Eiffel Tower,

159
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 2: and that white beaded gown and her voice, as always,

160
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 2: despite everything she's been through, was flawless, pitch perfect, and

161
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 2: just what a what a comeback? What a comeback?

162
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 3: A lot of people are.

163
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: Going to say that, how can you not say that

164
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: was their favorite moment of the ceremony. I couldn't believe

165
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: that one of the most beautiful moments I saw. I

166
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: don't know the young lady's name, I'm sorry I don't remember,

167
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: but it was the black woman who was standing on

168
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: top of the building singing. It wasn't the national anthem,

169
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: but she was singing in French. But the way she

170
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: was dressed and the color scheme of her dress, and

171
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: she was holding a French flag, it looked like she

172
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: was li like organically a part of the flag, and

173
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: just with the rain and what she was singing, and

174
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,439
Speaker 1: how that imagery was beautiful, beautiful, and it was the

175
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: I think maybe my favorite moment of the night.

176
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 2: I mean, I just I have never seen a country,

177
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 2: a host nation pull off an event like we saw

178
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,599
Speaker 2: and I can't wait to watch more. I mean it.

179
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 2: And this is a long time coming. You know, the

180
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 2: last two Olympics there haven't been fans, there hasn't been fanfair.

181
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 2: It's it's been a little sad. And so what a

182
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 2: way to come back from COVID and from these Olympics

183
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 2: where it just didn't really feel like the Olympics. It

184
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 2: the Olympics is on, I mean in a big way.

185
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 3: All right, Los Angeles. I bet they're ripping up their plans.

186
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 2: Cannot imagine how you you better start over because you

187
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 2: all got to do something.

188
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: France has now set the absolute bar. Yep, that was

189
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: incredible what they were able.

190
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 3: To pull off. Now they pull this off.

191
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: But just would you believe you wouldn't know this from

192
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: watching the ceremony. But just hours before the game started

193
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: there was a scare was a reminder of the intense

194
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: security situation around France as they coordinated attack on French

195
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: rail lines. French officials saying arson attack targeted high speed

196
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: rail lines caused all kinds of chaos across France. There

197
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: were fires that were set to destroy cables that control

198
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,839
Speaker 1: the train signals. Of course, if you don't have a

199
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: train signal, you got a problem. You gotta get that fixed.

200
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 1: They say, this is now quote meticulous work to try

201
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: to repair it. So this has had and will continue

202
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: to have an impact on hundreds of thousands of fans

203
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 1: and travelers because these train lines were ones that were

204
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 1: coming to and from France.

205
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 3: Excuse me, Paris, Paris.

206
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there were even two German athletes who were

207
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 2: on one of the trains to Paris wanted to take

208
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 2: part in the opening ceremonies and they had to turn

209
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 2: back in Belgium because of the closures, So they actually

210
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 2: missed the opening ceremonies because of this. So yeah, that's

211
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 2: such a like, this is your opportunity, this is your moment,

212
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 2: and because of that they had to turn around, which

213
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 2: was incredibly sad, but thank god it wasn't worse than

214
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 2: it was. Yes, the opening ceremony was the best opening

215
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 2: ceremony I have ever seen in my life. And so

216
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 2: the games are officially on. Yes, we mentioned the stands

217
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 2: are full of fans, so that's cool. But guess what's

218
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 2: also back not just the fans in the stands. We've

219
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 2: got intimacy back in the village.

220
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: This is and you know this, and I know this

221
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: from covering Olympics in the past, but it's the Olympic

222
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: Village can be notorious if you will. For you no,

223
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you've got some of the most beautiful people

224
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: in the world physically speaking, and youth and young and yeah,

225
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: you got a lot of downtown sometimes Olympic village. So

226
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: this has been talked about a lot. But in the

227
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: previous game, Summer Games COVID, we were in the midst

228
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: of a pandemic, so social distancing rules were in place

229
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: then and they no longer applay at the Olympic Village

230
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: the way they did in Tokyo. So yes, the intimacy

231
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: ban has been lifted at Olympic Village and athletes are

232
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 1: free to get as close to each other as they like.

233
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 2: They even passed out condoms.

234
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: And I think hundreds of thousands, there's an exact numbers.

235
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 2: I saw that. It was.

236
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so we've gotten passed of course, the worst

237
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: of COVID. But there have been at least now five

238
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 1: cases of COVID reported among members specifically Worlds of the

239
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 1: Australian Olympic team.

240
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 2: All right, I'm sure we'll keep our tabs on that

241
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 2: as well. And wow, this was stunning. Even before the

242
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 2: opening ceremony, already we've got an Olympic controversy. The head

243
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 2: coach of the Canadian women's soccer team has been suspended,

244
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 2: kicked out of the Olympics over a cheating scandal. Bev

245
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 2: Priestman is her name. She was sent home. She stepped

246
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 2: away first and they said, yeah, no, we're sending you

247
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 2: home after a member of her staff was caught using

248
00:12:55,320 --> 00:13:00,559
Speaker 2: a drone they were spying on Canada's opening round opponent. Priestman,

249
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 2: we should mention deny that she knew about it, but

250
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 2: they sent her home anyway.

251
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: Of course, we know never fails. It's always a controversy

252
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: of comment at the Olympics. Came a little early this year.

253
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 3: Perhaps he won't be the last, maybe it will. Maybe

254
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 3: this will be the big one. Wouldn't that be great?

255
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 3: That would be We don't look confident.

256
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: Yes, we just saw the opening ceremony that marks the

257
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: official start of the games, but the games have actually

258
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: been going on for several days now. We got sports

259
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: like rugby soccer, they've started the early stages of their tournaments,

260
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 1: and the US men and women, two soccer teams have

261
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 1: already been in action this week.

262
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 3: It went really well for one of them.

263
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 1: That one is the US women. Well no surprise probably

264
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: to you there, but they won three nil over a

265
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: Zambia in their first match they played on Thursday. The

266
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: first goal for the US women in the Olympics was scored.

267
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 3: By Trinity Rodman.

268
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: Now Trinity Rodman, A lot of people will know now

269
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: that her dad is Dennis Rodman, the NBA Hall of Famer.

270
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: But Trinity Rodman scored on If you haven't seen it,

271
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: I mean google it'll look it up on social media.

272
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 1: A fantastic but ridiculous spin move. And of course Robes,

273
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: you and I were watching this live when it's happened.

274
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: We watched every second of this game. But she proudly

275
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: calls this.

276
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 2: The trend spin and it was effective.

277
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: You will be hearing a lot more about Trinity Rodman

278
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: and the trin spin. And the women are going to

279
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: continue their group play on Sunday again. This is a

280
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: must see game against Germany.

281
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 3: That's gonna be find one.

282
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 2: I'm so excited. It was amazing. I don't know why,

283
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 2: I don't remember anything, you know that once I see it,

284
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 2: it's like out of my head. But I remember Trinity

285
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 2: Rodman scored at minute seventeen, and then it is it

286
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 2: Malory Swanson she scored two in a row a minute

287
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 2: twenty four and minute twenty five, and I just it was,

288
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 2: it was unreal. By twenty five minutes into the game,

289
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 2: USA already up three to Oho and that ended up

290
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 2: being the score. So it was I thoroughly enjoyed watching that.

291
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 2: Now on the flip side, you and I also we

292
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 2: went out. We went to a sports for us. So

293
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 2: let's watch the men's play. The men's play. I can't talk.

294
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 2: Let's watch the men play. Men is already plural amy.

295
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 2: Let's watch the men's play. They did so good. They

296
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 2: did not so the score was also three nil. Except

297
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 2: for that we were the ones with the goose egg. Yeah,

298
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 2: they lost to France. They gave up the three goals.

299
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 2: But they get a chance to redeem themselves on Saturday,

300
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 2: that's today against New Zealand and they need to get

301
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 2: a result. So this is kind of a sink or

302
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 2: swim moment for them, and we will be watching and

303
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 2: we will let you know what happens. But we've got

304
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,119
Speaker 2: thirty two sports total in the Olympics, which is pretty remarkable,

305
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 2: but it used to be thirty one. See there is

306
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 2: one that is making its Olympic debut and it's called

307
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 2: breaking uh aka breakdancing. So they have thirty two competitors,

308
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 2: sixteen bee boys, sixteen be girls. They're gonna go head

309
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 2: to head one on one, and I for one, am

310
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 2: very much looking forward to this. This is this is

311
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 2: this comes from the streets of the Bronx. Got a

312
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 2: lot of history that's remarkable in the nineteen seventies, the Olympics.

313
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 3: I think that just to think about pop culture, hip

314
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 3: hop culture, I should say specifically here that something that

315
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 3: kids were doing in New York City all those years

316
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 3: ago is now an Olympic sport. Is really really really cool.

317
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: To see that doesn't get going. I think we got

318
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: a week to wait until they do start breakdancing, so

319
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: we have to wait on that for a little while.

320
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: But if you haven't seen it before, this is gonna be.

321
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: This is gonna be like the thing like curling. You

322
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: remember that when curling became a thing in the Winter Games,

323
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: and it became a fad and we all had to

324
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: watch it because we were curious about it.

325
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 3: This might be the new star.

326
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 2: I'm still curious about curling. It's fascinating. It's like I'm

327
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 2: watching people sweep really fast. I don't understand, but.

328
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 3: It became kind of all all the rage. But I'm

329
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 3: looking forward to break down.

330
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 2: I can't wait. I wish there were more than sixteen competitors.

331
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 2: But they go head to head, right, and.

332
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 3: They've got these one on one yeah yah, and.

333
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 2: They've got these set rules and judges. And some people

334
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 2: argue this is such a subjective art form and athletic

335
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 2: form of art basically that it's tough to judge.

336
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 3: But will figure skating that's yeah, you know what, that's

337
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 3: a good point.

338
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 2: That's a really good point. Anyway, that's exciting, and there

339
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 2: are like, do you have any anything you're really looking

340
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 2: forward to?

341
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: Oh, my good gracious, of course I am. I think

342
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: the big ones are always everybody agrees, swimming, track and field.

343
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: We look look forward to basketball, of course, Gymnastics gymnax

344
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: is probably number one. Gymnastics and swimming when you're gree

345
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: the two biggest sports.

346
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,199
Speaker 2: Yes, and oh diving. Diving is so fun to watch too.

347
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 2: I say that, and you know what, was unexpectedly really

348
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 2: fun to watch. And so I encourage people because a

349
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 2: lot of times when the commercials come up, you get up,

350
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 2: you leave, you say, I'm going to go get some

351
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,439
Speaker 2: food or a snack. Watch the commercials during the opening ceremonies.

352
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 2: We actually found ourselves weeping. I was weeping. I don't

353
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 2: do that Uber commercial. And you had a tear. You

354
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 2: had a tear. I saw the tear. I tried to

355
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 2: take a picture and you wiped it away.

356
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 3: I didn't have a tear, mind you over a commercial.

357
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 2: You had a tear over a commercial. What commercial was that?

358
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 3: It was sporting bog?

359
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,120
Speaker 2: It was a Dick's Sporting goods and you know what

360
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 2: it was powerful?

361
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 3: Okay, no, no, let's not. I mean were joking about crying?

362
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 2: What?

363
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,400
Speaker 1: No, No, everybody needs to understand what we're saying here.

364
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: The commercials were impressive, right, we're laughing at but what

365
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: we're saying we're actually giving compliments. Yes to Uber, to

366
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: Nike and to dick Sporting Goods. I know, the Super

367
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: Bowl is the super Bowl of commercials. These were such

368
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 1: good quality, moving inspiration. They nailed it on the head.

369
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 3: Powerful commercials and they're from full. I couldn't even wait.

370
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 3: I got to the end of a Dick Sporting Wait,

371
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 3: Dick's sporting goods.

372
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 2: You were kind of embarrassed that you were so moved.

373
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 3: You should really stop saying that.

374
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: I know I am complimenting the commercial for what it

375
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: was able to do with Nike William Dafoe.

376
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 3: I don't need to look up who that was voicing that.

377
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 3: We all know that was Williem Dafoe. Uber. I don't

378
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 3: even know why.

379
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 1: I couldn't even make the connection between what the message

380
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,239
Speaker 1: was and then Uber they brought it home some kind

381
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:50,439
Speaker 1: of way.

382
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 3: I can't remember how they did it.

383
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 2: Whoever were whoever was responsible for those commercials brilliant because

384
00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 2: what it was it captured your attention, it brought in

385
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:04,239
Speaker 2: your emotion, and then it brought it home back to

386
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 2: what the branding was. And I just I was blown away.

387
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 2: So I can't wait. If that's what we saw, I

388
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 2: actually will be excited about watching commercials more so than

389
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. Like you said, those were better than

390
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 2: anything I saw in the Super Bowl.

391
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: I am really trying to remember the Uber message. My

392
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 1: good I could probably try to google it.

393
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 2: It's something about it it was like.

394
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 3: You know, showing up. Showing up matters, yep.

395
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 2: So we're gonna, we're gonna come, we're gonna get, we're

396
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 2: gonna come to you so you can get where you

397
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 2: need to go. Something like that. But it was about

398
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 2: showing up. It really was uber.

399
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 3: Well done on that commercial.

400
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 1: Whoever put these together, Nike, you'all nail it all the

401
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: time with those commercials.

402
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 3: But that's off.

403
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: Another part you're going to be hearing a lot about

404
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: if you haven't already, and you might have an opinion

405
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: about it all already already.

406
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 3: We talked about the broadcast and we applaud.

407
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: Can't imagine the work that went into from the NBC

408
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,959
Speaker 1: folks to the NBC staffs and NBC all those technical

409
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 1: folks that put that together.

410
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 3: We know what that's like.

411
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: But of course the production, the French folks who actually

412
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: produced the show and put all the elements together, we applaud.

413
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: But so much of the broadcast is in the hands

414
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: of the broadcasters. The main anchors in this time, it

415
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: was Mike Turico, it was Kelly Clarkson, it was Peyton

416
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 1: Manning and one of the three of them, I suppose

417
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: robes At this point is being talked about more than another,

418
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: and no, this is part of it.

419
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 3: Sometimes.

420
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 2: Look, Kelly Clarkson, she was being herself. She was not

421
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 2: trying to be someone who was a sports fan or

422
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 2: someone who had sports vaccine figures. She just was reacting

423
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 2: like a human. And so she made a lot of

424
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 2: comments throughout the broadcast, and then there were a lot

425
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 2: of comments on social media about how she was reacting

426
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,919
Speaker 2: to the opening ceremony. And so there've already been some

427
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 2: articles written, and I'm sure by the time you're hearing

428
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 2: this you may have read some of them, but they

429
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 2: have said headlines like Kelly Clarkson is facing backlash that

430
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 2: she interfered with fans' ability to enjoy the show because

431
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 2: of her comments. You know, some people had said things

432
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 2: that she was basically being disruptive without a lot of substance.

433
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 2: And I will say there were some people who did

434
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 2: come to her defense and they said, look, she was

435
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 2: like the fun aunt and someone else said she was

436
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 2: like a golden retriever. And another one points out, Kelly

437
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,239
Speaker 2: Clarkson is an incredible entertainer, an incredible vocalist. She had

438
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 2: a lot of passion. Let her live. I will say

439
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 2: that we enjoyed. We know how hard it is to

440
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,479
Speaker 2: broadcast over and narrate live events, many which they didn't know.

441
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,479
Speaker 2: These were surprises to us watching, but surprises to some

442
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,640
Speaker 2: of them who were commenting. So they were giving genuine

443
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 2: reactions in real time, and that's not always easy to do.

444
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:03,959
Speaker 1: It just isn't, especially if you have to do it

445
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 1: for four hours, four hours straight. And from what our understanding,

446
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 1: they carried a heavier load than anticipated because the weather

447
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: cost issues to it. They couldn't toss to a lot

448
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 1: of other talent that they thought might be able to

449
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: help them out. So, yep, I need to point that out,

450
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: but it's part of it. You're on this kind of

451
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: a stage and if people are going to say what

452
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: they want to.

453
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 3: Say, I give her credit for.

454
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 1: Not trying to be something else. We're used to broadcasters

455
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: and they broadcast there's almost sort of wordying we're and

456
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: maybe we're just accustomed to doing that. And if somebody

457
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,360
Speaker 1: sees that that, you know what, we're used to broadcasters

458
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 1: probably in a lot of ways, robes not even noticing them.

459
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,719
Speaker 1: Sometimes right right, you're supposed to be You're not supposed

460
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 1: to feel a certain way about the broadcaster.

461
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 3: They're just supposed to do a.

462
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: Thing, and maybe you reacted to her, and people don't

463
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 1: like reacting.

464
00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 2: You know, And look, she is not she's not necessary.

465
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 2: She's the host of her own show, but she's not

466
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 2: somebody who's been trained professionally as a journalist to do

467
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 2: any of this. And look, you know, anytime we went

468
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 2: out to go cover the Olympics over the last twenty years,

469
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 2: and we have that huge binder that you would take

470
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 2: with you on the plane, that would sleep next to

471
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 2: you in your bed each day because you had to

472
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 2: know so much about all of these athletes. We have

473
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 2: nearly six hundred US athletes and they would all be

474
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 2: in that binder, in addition to some of the big

475
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 2: athletes in other countries, and so there was so much

476
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 2: information to digest, to remember, to memorize, to try and

477
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,199
Speaker 2: have facts and figures when you're commenting or looking at

478
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 2: events and being able to explain them to the audience.

479
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,679
Speaker 2: Who isn't there, you know, that wasn't her role. And

480
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 2: so I think people have that expectation that she's got.

481
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 2: She had her bind her and she was studying and

482
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 2: she knew this and that you know, that's what Mike

483
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 2: Tarico was there for I'm sure, and she and Peyton

484
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 2: were there for color and that's what she did. So

485
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 2: I think there might have been an expectation that she

486
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 2: should act and react the way a lot of professional

487
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 2: broadcasters would have.

488
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: And you know what, to each their all. I respect

489
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,239
Speaker 1: anybody who has an opinion about it. Don't respect any

490
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 1: boy was being mean about it when it comes to her,

491
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 1: But not respect anybody who has an opinion. But I

492
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 1: enjoyed watching I always appreciate obviously Mike Turcos, that's fantastic,

493
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:23,439
Speaker 1: but he's amazing.

494
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 3: Appreciated a breath of fresh air. And Paton is a

495
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 3: wonderful broadcaster.

496
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was great. He was great. I thought he

497
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 2: had a nice just it was a warmth about it,

498
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,719
Speaker 2: and they were having fun. I think that's the thing.

499
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 2: Kelly Clarkson was enjoying the heck out of herself, as

500
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 2: were we sitting on the couch watching it. Oh yeah,

501
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 2: Snoop he speaking of enjoying his time. Yes, he seemed

502
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 2: to be having a blast.

503
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, unlike those other times.

504
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 2: He isn't right, he was. He was just classic Snoop dog.

505
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: That might be one of those dudes if you could

506
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,959
Speaker 1: switch to my add you could switch lives with anybody.

507
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: Just give me one weekend as Snoop DOGG a Tuesday

508
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: as Snoop dog It.

509
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 3: Just give me a day.

510
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,880
Speaker 1: But at this point, hats off to NBC, Hats off

511
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:17,880
Speaker 1: to that team that's off to a just a resounding start.

512
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: I cannot applaud them enough for the show they pulled

513
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 1: off today at the Olympics.

514
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:25,959
Speaker 3: It was so thrilling.

515
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: It did slow down, That's what I'm okay. That was

516
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 1: the point where once you get through, once the it

517
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 1: was a very very very cool shot. The mechanic horse,

518
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: mechanical horse that was going.

519
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 2: Said the horse wasn't going quickly enough when it first started.

520
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 3: You remember, I was like, wow, that is awesome.

521
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 2: Okay, the horse needs to speed up.

522
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,919
Speaker 3: Now, wow, that horse is still running.

523
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: And it seemed like it took forever because it took

524
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: the same three point seven mile trek. As the athletes

525
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,679
Speaker 1: in their boats comes off it, it stops and then

526
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: we see a real horse right with the same person riding,

527
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 1: if you will, like kind of a seamless transition.

528
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 3: But then the horse was walking really slowly.

529
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 2: I think that's when I went and got the French

530
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 2: bread and the bree cheese out beat that our iHeart

531
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:10,919
Speaker 2: team sent us.

532
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 1: Okay, well, while you were gone, I kept my eyes

533
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: on this horse. Then the person got off the horse

534
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: and walked very slowly, very well.

535
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 2: It was wet and rainy, so that was to make

536
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 2: it pretty smart.

537
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: I applaud them with the boots walking up the steps.

538
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 1: But it was just, yes, it just I got dragged out.

539
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 1: And then there were speeches that made it feel like, oh, that.

540
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 2: Was that was the low point. I'm sorry that sounds bad,

541
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 2: but that was a low point for me. Listening to

542
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 2: you know, McCrone speak and uh and Peter Box.

543
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: I think they would admit that it was the low

544
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: point of the show too long. They weren't trying to

545
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,400
Speaker 1: top that stuff. But you then you have I didn't

546
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 1: even know Serena Williams into up playing a role and

547
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 1: carrying the torch, and they finally light the cauldron, which

548
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 1: they didn't even we didn't even know where the cauldron.

549
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 3: Was, right, and the thing floats up in the air

550
00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 3: with the hot air.

551
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 2: But this was so it was so cool and I

552
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:03,639
Speaker 2: looked it up because I had to know. I was like,

553
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 2: is this going to be like this, like floating suspended.

554
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 2: I think they said it was sixty meters up in

555
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 2: the air, but it's pretty cool. Basically after sunset until

556
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 2: two am every night that is going to float up

557
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 2: and when it's on the ground. I think they set

558
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 2: up to ten thousand people a day can come visit

559
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 2: it and take a look at it. And it's cool

560
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 2: because it's all green, it's not using any fuel. There's

561
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 2: some technology that I didn't quite understand that involved water

562
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 2: and air and I don't know, but it's an electric light,

563
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 2: so it's really really cool. I loved what they did

564
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 2: with that.

565
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 3: Well.

566
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: They are also a good start things to look forward

567
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 1: to on this day as you're hearing this Saturday now

Speaker 1: in Paris and around France. Yes, the US men will

569
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: start up again as they are in group stage right

570
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: now of in soccer.

571
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 3: They really really need a result or they could be

572
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 3: at risk.

573
00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: Of going home really early from these olymp But this

574
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: is going to be the most helpful tip and the

575

579
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 3: not too long ago promoting another.

580
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:25,480

599
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 2: two different sports, is there a little known one or

600
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 2: a smaller one that you're curious about that you want

601
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 2: to check.

602
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 3: Out table tennis.

Speaker 1: Love table tennis because it's unreal what they do, so

606
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:36,880

607
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: like this often.

608
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 3: Absolutely I want to watch that.

609
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,080

610
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 2: surfing because they're doing it in Tahiti, and I think

Speaker 2: table tennis right on my list.

616
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 1: The other one is fencing because that's something you don't

617
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 1: get to watch a lot, so you take the opportunity.

618
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: But just it takes so much discipline to do that,

619
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: it's all I'm always impressed.

620
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 2: And beach volleyball is fun to check out.

621
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:10,480
