WEBVTT - Tea from Paris: Day One

0:00:03.640 --> 0:00:11.040
<v Speaker 1>The coolest opening ceremony ever period in this special edition

0:00:11.160 --> 0:00:11.959
<v Speaker 1>of Amy and t J.

0:00:12.320 --> 0:00:16.120
<v Speaker 2>That's right. French style and flare and history and of

0:00:16.120 --> 0:00:20.560
<v Speaker 2>course the unbelievable production prowess. We just saw. Wow, it

0:00:20.600 --> 0:00:24.160
<v Speaker 2>was on full display, all happening at the opening ceremonies

0:00:24.920 --> 0:00:28.880
<v Speaker 2>of the twoenty twenty four Paris Olympics. They are underway

0:00:29.080 --> 0:00:31.120
<v Speaker 2>and it was a ceremony where for the first time

0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:36.040
<v Speaker 2>we saw just the athletes entering away. They never have

0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:39.440
<v Speaker 2>in the opening ceremonies. They were floating down the Seine

0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:41.080
<v Speaker 2>instead of walking into a stadium.

0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:45.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but before we saw all that history, we had chaos,

0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:51.800
<v Speaker 1>a coordinated transit attack just before the ceremony caused fits

0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:55.120
<v Speaker 1>at the time, travel fits, but it's going to cause

0:00:55.280 --> 0:00:58.800
<v Speaker 1>travel fits for some days.

0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:02.680
<v Speaker 2>To come, that's right. And also in this very special episode,

0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:06.600
<v Speaker 2>sex is back at the Olympics. It was gone for

0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:09.280
<v Speaker 2>a while in case you didn't know. And COVID unfortunately

0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:12.000
<v Speaker 2>is also back at the Olympics. A gold medal coach

0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:15.720
<v Speaker 2>has already been kicked out of the Olympics.

0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Also, the trend spin makes its debut at the Olympics.

0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:22.160
<v Speaker 1>We will be break dancing at the Olympics and what's

0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:24.640
<v Speaker 1>with the commercials for the Olympics.

0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:26.520
<v Speaker 2>That's right, Well, yeah, we're going to talk about all

0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:30.000
<v Speaker 2>of that and more. Welcome to our first Olympics edition

0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:32.560
<v Speaker 2>of Amy and TJ. You can check in here. We're

0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:35.520
<v Speaker 2>going to be on every single day during the Olympics

0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:38.960
<v Speaker 2>on iHeart for all the Tea from Perry. That's what

0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:42.479
<v Speaker 2>we're calling in and it's everything you want to know

0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:43.240
<v Speaker 2>about the game.

0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:45.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm still not married to that title, you know, as

0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:47.160
<v Speaker 1>long as I don't have to say it while am

0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:51.720
<v Speaker 1>I complaining? But first impression, I don't know if it's

0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:55.080
<v Speaker 1>just I don't think there's much of a debate about

0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:58.520
<v Speaker 1>it being the best opening ceremony we have ever seen,

0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:02.240
<v Speaker 1>but this was actually one of the best television productions

0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:02.800
<v Speaker 1>I've ever seen.

0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:06.000
<v Speaker 2>I was blown away the entire time, from start to finish.

0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:08.440
<v Speaker 2>I know that you and I have covered these we've

0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:12.600
<v Speaker 2>actually been in the stadiums, and as exciting and as

0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:15.760
<v Speaker 2>amazing as that is, they get a little boring sometimes.

0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:18.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean that's just it just goes on and on

0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:22.399
<v Speaker 2>and on. To put on a three plus hour sensation

0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:25.120
<v Speaker 2>is tough to do. It drags a little such it

0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:28.440
<v Speaker 2>was for though four right, and it was. I mean

0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:30.920
<v Speaker 2>I was riveted from start to finish. I thought it

0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:32.919
<v Speaker 2>was jaw dropping Lincoln.

0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:34.960
<v Speaker 1>We slowed down a little bit now, as as great

0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:37.480
<v Speaker 1>as it was, Yes, you are right, I get what

0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:39.600
<v Speaker 1>you're saying, but there was a little point. We'll get

0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:41.280
<v Speaker 1>into a little bit here for a second.

0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:42.040
<v Speaker 3>But you can't help.

0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:44.040
<v Speaker 1>But in a four hour broadcast somewhere it has to

0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:48.280
<v Speaker 1>slow down. But from start, when they started rolling down

0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:51.680
<v Speaker 1>the river, if you will, the sin the river sin,

0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:55.560
<v Speaker 1>I should say, it goes right through Paris. That's when

0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:59.000
<v Speaker 1>the show really really began. We heard about this being

0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:01.720
<v Speaker 1>something ropes that they had never tried before. We're always

0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:06.399
<v Speaker 1>used to seeing athletes walk into a stadium Olympic stadium.

0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:09.960
<v Speaker 1>This year they literally put these folks on a river.

0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:13.760
<v Speaker 1>I can't commend whoever came up with that idea, and

0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:15.680
<v Speaker 1>then to pull it off, to.

0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:18.120
<v Speaker 2>Pull it off in blinding rain too, I mean, to

0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:21.560
<v Speaker 2>see the weather, it did not cooperate. And yet we

0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:25.760
<v Speaker 2>saw not just the unbelievable pomp and circumstance, but we

0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:31.480
<v Speaker 2>saw acrobatic acts that you'd think would be very dangerous

0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:33.960
<v Speaker 2>in blinding rain. And yet they pulled it off. I mean,

0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:37.040
<v Speaker 2>the unbelievable shows that were going on over the bridges

0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:40.680
<v Speaker 2>along the banks of the Sein. It was all coordinated,

0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:44.440
<v Speaker 2>perfectly timed, just the production value from the cameras. And

0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:48.080
<v Speaker 2>to think that they hadn't had rehearsals. They couldn't have rehearsals.

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:50.200
<v Speaker 2>This wasn't in a stadium where they could do things

0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:54.040
<v Speaker 2>and nobody was watching. This was along the sind and

0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:58.720
<v Speaker 2>along bridges that couldn't be shut down for practice.

0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:02.840
<v Speaker 1>I guess a couple of seasts were did I guess

0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:03.800
<v Speaker 1>the rumors were true?

0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:07.040
<v Speaker 3>Right? Lady Gaga showed up.

0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:09.080
<v Speaker 1>She was very kind of kicked off the show in

0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:11.520
<v Speaker 1>a lot of ways, and I love it, even when

0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:13.680
<v Speaker 1>I guess she'd been rumored for so long, and even

0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:17.320
<v Speaker 1>when we saw the production start is raining and she's

0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:19.960
<v Speaker 1>coming down these steps, they kept those whatever.

0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:22.400
<v Speaker 2>You call them, the feather fans, the feather.

0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:24.760
<v Speaker 1>Fans in front of her, and it kept the mystery

0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:26.719
<v Speaker 1>still going, even though we had a good idea of

0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:28.039
<v Speaker 1>who was going to be. I thought that was a

0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:29.880
<v Speaker 1>great reveal in a great moment, and she's always a

0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:30.479
<v Speaker 1>great performer.

0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:32.600
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't believe what it would be like to be her.

0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:34.760
<v Speaker 2>You know, you're walking down the steps into this sine.

0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:37.120
<v Speaker 2>All of Paris in the world is watching you. By

0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:40.320
<v Speaker 2>the way, I think they were estimating over one billion

0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:44.640
<v Speaker 2>people watched opening ceremonies, So to perform on that kind

0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:47.480
<v Speaker 2>of a stage in the middle of Paris, I just thought, Wow,

0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:49.839
<v Speaker 2>this has to be one of like the pinch me moments,

0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:51.360
<v Speaker 2>even for someone like Lady Gaga.

0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:55.480
<v Speaker 1>And as they're rolling down you you comment, I wish

0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:58.080
<v Speaker 1>we would have had a separate camera on that would

0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:02.720
<v Speaker 1>have just been like a fashion can on you. Because

0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:05.800
<v Speaker 1>listening to your commentary as the athletes were rolling down

0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:08.960
<v Speaker 1>the river, that's gonna be my thing now down the river,

0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:14.960
<v Speaker 1>your commentary about each of the delegations and how they

0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:17.280
<v Speaker 1>were dressed was just fantastic.

0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:21.040
<v Speaker 3>I said that leading up to see the.

0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:23.640
<v Speaker 1>Excitement and how cool it was to see the athletes

0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:27.680
<v Speaker 1>on all of those boats having I mean parties as

0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:29.680
<v Speaker 1>they were coming by. Of course, the US delegation the

0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:32.680
<v Speaker 1>largest one there five hundred and ninety plus athletes. That

0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:35.360
<v Speaker 1>boat was packed and it was a party the whole time.

0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:37.800
<v Speaker 1>But then some of the smung with that delegations that

0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:40.840
<v Speaker 1>have three athletes or seven athletes having.

0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:44.040
<v Speaker 3>To share a boat with other delegations. It was cool.

0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:45.920
<v Speaker 3>It was cute. That was the biggest moment they're probably

0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:46.320
<v Speaker 3>going to have.

0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:49.400
<v Speaker 2>It was awesome, What a great idea it was. Watching

0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:51.880
<v Speaker 2>it was like watching a parade, but in the coolest

0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:54.680
<v Speaker 2>of ways. And I loved it. And some boats were

0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:58.440
<v Speaker 2>more fun than others. Let's just be honest, but it

0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:01.200
<v Speaker 2>and even in the raid, I mean they soaking wet.

0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:04.279
<v Speaker 2>If you all watched and saw these athletes had big

0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:09.000
<v Speaker 2>smiles on the face, but they were soaked to the bone.

0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:13.280
<v Speaker 1>The broadcast, I don't understand how the timing of it

0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:15.520
<v Speaker 1>went the way it did. As far as watching it

0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:20.880
<v Speaker 1>at home, everything seemed perfect. This went off without There

0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:23.159
<v Speaker 1>wasn't a single hitch, and I was watching very closely,

0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:25.479
<v Speaker 1>even the simplest of things when you think about the

0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:28.279
<v Speaker 1>rain being added into it. Nobody even slipped down a

0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:31.760
<v Speaker 1>flight of steps, which you would assume was a possibility.

0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:34.800
<v Speaker 1>But to see how they were able to weave in

0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:38.840
<v Speaker 1>so much of French history, so much of French sometimes

0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:42.880
<v Speaker 1>even what is stereotypical French, they seemed to have even

0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:43.800
<v Speaker 1>fun with.

0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:49.080
<v Speaker 2>At times they depicted a menagatoire and that I started laughing.

0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:52.920
<v Speaker 2>It was all of the different things that France has

0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:55.160
<v Speaker 2>produced and that stick with us, that we forget we

0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:58.120
<v Speaker 2>could attribute to France. I wasn't thinking Manajatoa, but they

0:06:58.160 --> 0:06:58.480
<v Speaker 2>went there.

0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:00.560
<v Speaker 3>They it was kind of like they they were winking

0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:02.720
<v Speaker 3>at us when they did it. They just got it. Yeah,

0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:03.799
<v Speaker 3>well we know what you're thinking.

0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:06.440
<v Speaker 2>I appreciated it. I thought that was very clever. And

0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:09.120
<v Speaker 2>of course one of my favorite moments was when they

0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:12.040
<v Speaker 2>brought in Lema's rob I just thought it was so

0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:14.040
<v Speaker 2>well done and beautiful, and then it turned into this

0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:17.080
<v Speaker 2>heavy metal band and Marie Antoine. I mean, it was

0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:22.800
<v Speaker 2>like watching an unbelievable Broadway musical. Paris is your stage,

0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:26.840
<v Speaker 2>and they just pulled it off unbelievably well.

0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:30.440
<v Speaker 1>And obviously we were waiting. We got the Lady gagat surprise,

0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:33.000
<v Speaker 1>and then the Celine Dion. It was I don't know

0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:36.200
<v Speaker 1>how you would do this ceremony without her, but I mean,

0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:39.880
<v Speaker 1>given what we know she's been going through health wives

0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:44.680
<v Speaker 1>for the past several years, to see her step out

0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:47.680
<v Speaker 1>on this stage like this felt like a comeback of

0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:50.800
<v Speaker 1>sorts in the biggest of ways, in the most iconic

0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:53.600
<v Speaker 1>of places. It was the most perfect way to wrap

0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:54.360
<v Speaker 1>up the ceremony.

0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:56.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean I have honestly, so you look, I have

0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:59.920
<v Speaker 2>chills right now reliving the moment when she sang under

0:07:59.960 --> 0:08:02.000
<v Speaker 2>the Eiffel Tower, or right there on the Eiffel Tower,

0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:06.000
<v Speaker 2>and that white beaded gown and her voice, as always,

0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:10.560
<v Speaker 2>despite everything she's been through, was flawless, pitch perfect, and

0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:13.320
<v Speaker 2>just what a what a comeback? What a comeback?

0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:14.120
<v Speaker 3>A lot of people are.

0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:15.560
<v Speaker 1>Going to say that, how can you not say that

0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:18.040
<v Speaker 1>was their favorite moment of the ceremony. I couldn't believe

0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:20.240
<v Speaker 1>that one of the most beautiful moments I saw. I

0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:22.520
<v Speaker 1>don't know the young lady's name, I'm sorry I don't remember,

0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:25.040
<v Speaker 1>but it was the black woman who was standing on

0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:28.400
<v Speaker 1>top of the building singing. It wasn't the national anthem,

0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:31.920
<v Speaker 1>but she was singing in French. But the way she

0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:35.920
<v Speaker 1>was dressed and the color scheme of her dress, and

0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:38.800
<v Speaker 1>she was holding a French flag, it looked like she

0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:43.640
<v Speaker 1>was li like organically a part of the flag, and

0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:46.360
<v Speaker 1>just with the rain and what she was singing, and

0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:50.439
<v Speaker 1>how that imagery was beautiful, beautiful, and it was the

0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:53.440
<v Speaker 1>I think maybe my favorite moment of the night.

0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:57.760
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I just I have never seen a country,

0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:01.920
<v Speaker 2>a host nation pull off an event like we saw

0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:04.599
<v Speaker 2>and I can't wait to watch more. I mean it.

0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:07.040
<v Speaker 2>And this is a long time coming. You know, the

0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:10.800
<v Speaker 2>last two Olympics there haven't been fans, there hasn't been fanfair.

0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:14.280
<v Speaker 2>It's it's been a little sad. And so what a

0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:18.160
<v Speaker 2>way to come back from COVID and from these Olympics

0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:20.920
<v Speaker 2>where it just didn't really feel like the Olympics. It

0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:25.080
<v Speaker 2>the Olympics is on, I mean in a big way.

0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:28.800
<v Speaker 3>All right, Los Angeles. I bet they're ripping up their plans.

0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:32.559
<v Speaker 2>Cannot imagine how you you better start over because you

0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:33.680
<v Speaker 2>all got to do something.

0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:38.160
<v Speaker 1>France has now set the absolute bar. Yep, that was

0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:40.800
<v Speaker 1>incredible what they were able.

0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:51.240
<v Speaker 3>To pull off. Now they pull this off.

0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:54.160
<v Speaker 1>But just would you believe you wouldn't know this from

0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:57.600
<v Speaker 1>watching the ceremony. But just hours before the game started

0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:01.600
<v Speaker 1>there was a scare was a reminder of the intense

0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:06.760
<v Speaker 1>security situation around France as they coordinated attack on French

0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:10.720
<v Speaker 1>rail lines. French officials saying arson attack targeted high speed

0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:15.200
<v Speaker 1>rail lines caused all kinds of chaos across France. There

0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:17.920
<v Speaker 1>were fires that were set to destroy cables that control

0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:19.839
<v Speaker 1>the train signals. Of course, if you don't have a

0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:21.880
<v Speaker 1>train signal, you got a problem. You gotta get that fixed.

0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:24.960
<v Speaker 1>They say, this is now quote meticulous work to try

0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:27.760
<v Speaker 1>to repair it. So this has had and will continue

0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:31.600
<v Speaker 1>to have an impact on hundreds of thousands of fans

0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:34.439
<v Speaker 1>and travelers because these train lines were ones that were

0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:37.440
<v Speaker 1>coming to and from France.

0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:39.600
<v Speaker 3>Excuse me, Paris, Paris.

0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:42.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and there were even two German athletes who were

0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:45.120
<v Speaker 2>on one of the trains to Paris wanted to take

0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:47.200
<v Speaker 2>part in the opening ceremonies and they had to turn

0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:50.319
<v Speaker 2>back in Belgium because of the closures, So they actually

0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:53.680
<v Speaker 2>missed the opening ceremonies because of this. So yeah, that's

0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:56.160
<v Speaker 2>such a like, this is your opportunity, this is your moment,

0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:58.680
<v Speaker 2>and because of that they had to turn around, which

0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:01.040
<v Speaker 2>was incredibly sad, but thank god it wasn't worse than

0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:05.640
<v Speaker 2>it was. Yes, the opening ceremony was the best opening

0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:08.560
<v Speaker 2>ceremony I have ever seen in my life. And so

0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:12.120
<v Speaker 2>the games are officially on. Yes, we mentioned the stands

0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:15.400
<v Speaker 2>are full of fans, so that's cool. But guess what's

0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:18.600
<v Speaker 2>also back not just the fans in the stands. We've

0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:21.760
<v Speaker 2>got intimacy back in the village.

0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:24.120
<v Speaker 1>This is and you know this, and I know this

0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:27.800
<v Speaker 1>from covering Olympics in the past, but it's the Olympic

0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:31.040
<v Speaker 1>Village can be notorious if you will. For you no,

0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:33.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you've got some of the most beautiful people

0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:39.880
<v Speaker 1>in the world physically speaking, and youth and young and yeah,

0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:42.040
<v Speaker 1>you got a lot of downtown sometimes Olympic village. So

0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:46.040
<v Speaker 1>this has been talked about a lot. But in the

0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:49.840
<v Speaker 1>previous game, Summer Games COVID, we were in the midst

0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:54.760
<v Speaker 1>of a pandemic, so social distancing rules were in place

0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:59.160
<v Speaker 1>then and they no longer applay at the Olympic Village

0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:02.640
<v Speaker 1>the way they did in Tokyo. So yes, the intimacy

0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:06.600
<v Speaker 1>ban has been lifted at Olympic Village and athletes are

0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:09.560
<v Speaker 1>free to get as close to each other as they like.

0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:12.400
<v Speaker 2>They even passed out condoms.

0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:15.280
<v Speaker 1>And I think hundreds of thousands, there's an exact numbers.

0:12:15.480 --> 0:12:16.360
<v Speaker 2>I saw that. It was.

0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:19.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay, so we've gotten passed of course, the worst

0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:21.480
<v Speaker 1>of COVID. But there have been at least now five

0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:25.560
<v Speaker 1>cases of COVID reported among members specifically Worlds of the

0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:26.840
<v Speaker 1>Australian Olympic team.

0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:29.000
<v Speaker 2>All right, I'm sure we'll keep our tabs on that

0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:33.000
<v Speaker 2>as well. And wow, this was stunning. Even before the

0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:36.680
<v Speaker 2>opening ceremony, already we've got an Olympic controversy. The head

0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:40.920
<v Speaker 2>coach of the Canadian women's soccer team has been suspended,

0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:45.720
<v Speaker 2>kicked out of the Olympics over a cheating scandal. Bev

0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:48.600
<v Speaker 2>Priestman is her name. She was sent home. She stepped

0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:50.960
<v Speaker 2>away first and they said, yeah, no, we're sending you

0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:55.280
<v Speaker 2>home after a member of her staff was caught using

0:12:55.320 --> 0:13:00.559
<v Speaker 2>a drone they were spying on Canada's opening round opponent. Priestman,

0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:03.280
<v Speaker 2>we should mention deny that she knew about it, but

0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:05.000
<v Speaker 2>they sent her home anyway.

0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:07.520
<v Speaker 1>Of course, we know never fails. It's always a controversy

0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:10.600
<v Speaker 1>of comment at the Olympics. Came a little early this year.

0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:13.320
<v Speaker 3>Perhaps he won't be the last, maybe it will. Maybe

0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:14.880
<v Speaker 3>this will be the big one. Wouldn't that be great?

0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:17.360
<v Speaker 3>That would be We don't look confident.

0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:20.200
<v Speaker 1>Yes, we just saw the opening ceremony that marks the

0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:22.480
<v Speaker 1>official start of the games, but the games have actually

0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:24.880
<v Speaker 1>been going on for several days now. We got sports

0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:28.920
<v Speaker 1>like rugby soccer, they've started the early stages of their tournaments,

0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:32.560
<v Speaker 1>and the US men and women, two soccer teams have

0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:34.679
<v Speaker 1>already been in action this week.

0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:38.240
<v Speaker 3>It went really well for one of them.

0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:42.440
<v Speaker 1>That one is the US women. Well no surprise probably

0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:44.520
<v Speaker 1>to you there, but they won three nil over a

0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:48.240
<v Speaker 1>Zambia in their first match they played on Thursday. The

0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:52.880
<v Speaker 1>first goal for the US women in the Olympics was scored.

0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:55.480
<v Speaker 3>By Trinity Rodman.

0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:58.400
<v Speaker 1>Now Trinity Rodman, A lot of people will know now

0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:02.880
<v Speaker 1>that her dad is Dennis Rodman, the NBA Hall of Famer.

0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:07.320
<v Speaker 1>But Trinity Rodman scored on If you haven't seen it,

0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:09.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean google it'll look it up on social media.

0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:14.679
<v Speaker 1>A fantastic but ridiculous spin move. And of course Robes,

0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:17.520
<v Speaker 1>you and I were watching this live when it's happened.

0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:21.600
<v Speaker 1>We watched every second of this game. But she proudly

0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:22.360
<v Speaker 1>calls this.

0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:25.120
<v Speaker 2>The trend spin and it was effective.

0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:28.160
<v Speaker 1>You will be hearing a lot more about Trinity Rodman

0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:30.000
<v Speaker 1>and the trin spin. And the women are going to

0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:34.360
<v Speaker 1>continue their group play on Sunday again. This is a

0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:36.520
<v Speaker 1>must see game against Germany.

0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:37.360
<v Speaker 3>That's gonna be find one.

0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:39.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm so excited. It was amazing. I don't know why,

0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:42.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't remember anything, you know that once I see it,

0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:44.680
<v Speaker 2>it's like out of my head. But I remember Trinity

0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:49.080
<v Speaker 2>Rodman scored at minute seventeen, and then it is it

0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:52.960
<v Speaker 2>Malory Swanson she scored two in a row a minute

0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:56.000
<v Speaker 2>twenty four and minute twenty five, and I just it was,

0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:59.360
<v Speaker 2>it was unreal. By twenty five minutes into the game,

0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:01.600
<v Speaker 2>USA already up three to Oho and that ended up

0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:05.600
<v Speaker 2>being the score. So it was I thoroughly enjoyed watching that.

0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:08.400
<v Speaker 2>Now on the flip side, you and I also we

0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:11.320
<v Speaker 2>went out. We went to a sports for us. So

0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:14.280
<v Speaker 2>let's watch the men's play. The men's play. I can't talk.

0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:18.280
<v Speaker 2>Let's watch the men play. Men is already plural amy.

0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:22.840
<v Speaker 2>Let's watch the men's play. They did so good. They

0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:26.120
<v Speaker 2>did not so the score was also three nil. Except

0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:28.800
<v Speaker 2>for that we were the ones with the goose egg. Yeah,

0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:31.720
<v Speaker 2>they lost to France. They gave up the three goals.

0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:35.120
<v Speaker 2>But they get a chance to redeem themselves on Saturday,

0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:40.400
<v Speaker 2>that's today against New Zealand and they need to get

0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:43.200
<v Speaker 2>a result. So this is kind of a sink or

0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:46.360
<v Speaker 2>swim moment for them, and we will be watching and

0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:49.800
<v Speaker 2>we will let you know what happens. But we've got

0:15:49.840 --> 0:15:53.119
<v Speaker 2>thirty two sports total in the Olympics, which is pretty remarkable,

0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:55.720
<v Speaker 2>but it used to be thirty one. See there is

0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:58.200
<v Speaker 2>one that is making its Olympic debut and it's called

0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:04.960
<v Speaker 2>breaking uh aka breakdancing. So they have thirty two competitors,

0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:08.000
<v Speaker 2>sixteen bee boys, sixteen be girls. They're gonna go head

0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:11.440
<v Speaker 2>to head one on one, and I for one, am

0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:13.720
<v Speaker 2>very much looking forward to this. This is this is

0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:16.760
<v Speaker 2>this comes from the streets of the Bronx. Got a

0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:21.200
<v Speaker 2>lot of history that's remarkable in the nineteen seventies, the Olympics.

0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:24.920
<v Speaker 3>I think that just to think about pop culture, hip

0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:28.560
<v Speaker 3>hop culture, I should say specifically here that something that

0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:33.200
<v Speaker 3>kids were doing in New York City all those years

0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:35.960
<v Speaker 3>ago is now an Olympic sport. Is really really really cool.

0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:39.440
<v Speaker 1>To see that doesn't get going. I think we got

0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:42.760
<v Speaker 1>a week to wait until they do start breakdancing, so

0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:44.960
<v Speaker 1>we have to wait on that for a little while.

0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:50.360
<v Speaker 1>But if you haven't seen it before, this is gonna be.

0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:52.520
<v Speaker 1>This is gonna be like the thing like curling. You

0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:55.520
<v Speaker 1>remember that when curling became a thing in the Winter Games,

0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:57.120
<v Speaker 1>and it became a fad and we all had to

0:16:57.120 --> 0:16:58.640
<v Speaker 1>watch it because we were curious about it.

0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:00.320
<v Speaker 3>This might be the new star.

0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:04.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm still curious about curling. It's fascinating. It's like I'm

0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:08.320
<v Speaker 2>watching people sweep really fast. I don't understand, but.

0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:11.760
<v Speaker 3>It became kind of all all the rage. But I'm

0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:12.920
<v Speaker 3>looking forward to break down.

0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:15.200
<v Speaker 2>I can't wait. I wish there were more than sixteen competitors.

0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:16.520
<v Speaker 2>But they go head to head, right, and.

0:17:16.440 --> 0:17:18.080
<v Speaker 3>They've got these one on one yeah yah, and.

0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:21.440
<v Speaker 2>They've got these set rules and judges. And some people

0:17:21.520 --> 0:17:24.920
<v Speaker 2>argue this is such a subjective art form and athletic

0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:27.359
<v Speaker 2>form of art basically that it's tough to judge.

0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:30.040
<v Speaker 3>But will figure skating that's yeah, you know what, that's

0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:30.600
<v Speaker 3>a good point.

0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:37.320
<v Speaker 2>That's a really good point. Anyway, that's exciting, and there

0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:40.800
<v Speaker 2>are like, do you have any anything you're really looking

0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:41.240
<v Speaker 2>forward to?

0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:46.720
<v Speaker 1>Oh, my good gracious, of course I am. I think

0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:51.200
<v Speaker 1>the big ones are always everybody agrees, swimming, track and field.

0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:56.760
<v Speaker 1>We look look forward to basketball, of course, Gymnastics gymnax

0:17:56.880 --> 0:17:59.040
<v Speaker 1>is probably number one. Gymnastics and swimming when you're gree

0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:00.000
<v Speaker 1>the two biggest sports.

0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:03.199
<v Speaker 2>Yes, and oh diving. Diving is so fun to watch too.

0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:07.560
<v Speaker 2>I say that, and you know what, was unexpectedly really

0:18:07.600 --> 0:18:10.240
<v Speaker 2>fun to watch. And so I encourage people because a

0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:12.440
<v Speaker 2>lot of times when the commercials come up, you get up,

0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:15.880
<v Speaker 2>you leave, you say, I'm going to go get some

0:18:15.880 --> 0:18:19.439
<v Speaker 2>food or a snack. Watch the commercials during the opening ceremonies.

0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:26.160
<v Speaker 2>We actually found ourselves weeping. I was weeping. I don't

0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:28.960
<v Speaker 2>do that Uber commercial. And you had a tear. You

0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:31.960
<v Speaker 2>had a tear. I saw the tear. I tried to

0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:34.080
<v Speaker 2>take a picture and you wiped it away.

0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:36.480
<v Speaker 3>I didn't have a tear, mind you over a commercial.

0:18:36.600 --> 0:18:40.119
<v Speaker 2>You had a tear over a commercial. What commercial was that?

0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:42.720
<v Speaker 3>It was sporting bog?

0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:45.120
<v Speaker 2>It was a Dick's Sporting goods and you know what

0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:45.960
<v Speaker 2>it was powerful?

0:18:46.040 --> 0:18:48.520
<v Speaker 3>Okay, no, no, let's not. I mean were joking about crying?

0:18:48.600 --> 0:18:48.679
<v Speaker 2>What?

0:18:48.760 --> 0:18:51.400
<v Speaker 1>No, No, everybody needs to understand what we're saying here.

0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:55.040
<v Speaker 1>The commercials were impressive, right, we're laughing at but what

0:18:55.040 --> 0:18:59.000
<v Speaker 1>we're saying we're actually giving compliments. Yes to Uber, to

0:18:59.359 --> 0:19:04.520
<v Speaker 1>Nike and to dick Sporting Goods. I know, the Super

0:19:04.520 --> 0:19:10.200
<v Speaker 1>Bowl is the super Bowl of commercials. These were such

0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:15.440
<v Speaker 1>good quality, moving inspiration. They nailed it on the head.

0:19:15.560 --> 0:19:19.400
<v Speaker 3>Powerful commercials and they're from full. I couldn't even wait.

0:19:19.440 --> 0:19:21.280
<v Speaker 3>I got to the end of a Dick Sporting Wait,

0:19:21.359 --> 0:19:22.359
<v Speaker 3>Dick's sporting goods.

0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:24.879
<v Speaker 2>You were kind of embarrassed that you were so moved.

0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:27.359
<v Speaker 3>You should really stop saying that.

0:19:27.640 --> 0:19:33.080
<v Speaker 1>I know I am complimenting the commercial for what it

0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:35.560
<v Speaker 1>was able to do with Nike William Dafoe.

0:19:35.560 --> 0:19:37.960
<v Speaker 3>I don't need to look up who that was voicing that.

0:19:38.200 --> 0:19:42.480
<v Speaker 3>We all know that was Williem Dafoe. Uber. I don't

0:19:42.480 --> 0:19:44.359
<v Speaker 3>even know why.

0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:48.200
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't even make the connection between what the message

0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:50.239
<v Speaker 1>was and then Uber they brought it home some kind

0:19:50.240 --> 0:19:50.439
<v Speaker 1>of way.

0:19:50.440 --> 0:19:51.800
<v Speaker 3>I can't remember how they did it.

0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:56.359
<v Speaker 2>Whoever were whoever was responsible for those commercials brilliant because

0:19:56.400 --> 0:20:00.280
<v Speaker 2>what it was it captured your attention, it brought in

0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:04.239
<v Speaker 2>your emotion, and then it brought it home back to

0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:06.760
<v Speaker 2>what the branding was. And I just I was blown away.

0:20:06.760 --> 0:20:10.560
<v Speaker 2>So I can't wait. If that's what we saw, I

0:20:10.600 --> 0:20:14.000
<v Speaker 2>actually will be excited about watching commercials more so than

0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:15.800
<v Speaker 2>the Super Bowl. Like you said, those were better than

0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:17.560
<v Speaker 2>anything I saw in the Super Bowl.

0:20:17.800 --> 0:20:21.000
<v Speaker 1>I am really trying to remember the Uber message. My

0:20:21.040 --> 0:20:22.359
<v Speaker 1>good I could probably try to google it.

0:20:22.320 --> 0:20:24.160
<v Speaker 2>It's something about it it was like.

0:20:24.480 --> 0:20:27.800
<v Speaker 3>You know, showing up. Showing up matters, yep.

0:20:28.000 --> 0:20:30.520
<v Speaker 2>So we're gonna, we're gonna come, we're gonna get, we're

0:20:30.520 --> 0:20:33.200
<v Speaker 2>gonna come to you so you can get where you

0:20:33.280 --> 0:20:34.920
<v Speaker 2>need to go. Something like that. But it was about

0:20:34.960 --> 0:20:37.440
<v Speaker 2>showing up. It really was uber.

0:20:37.600 --> 0:20:39.120
<v Speaker 3>Well done on that commercial.

0:20:39.160 --> 0:20:42.439
<v Speaker 1>Whoever put these together, Nike, you'all nail it all the

0:20:42.520 --> 0:20:44.040
<v Speaker 1>time with those commercials.

0:20:44.800 --> 0:20:45.920
<v Speaker 3>But that's off.

0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Another part you're going to be hearing a lot about

0:20:57.320 --> 0:20:59.560
<v Speaker 1>if you haven't already, and you might have an opinion

0:20:59.560 --> 0:21:01.240
<v Speaker 1>about it all already already.

0:21:01.640 --> 0:21:03.840
<v Speaker 3>We talked about the broadcast and we applaud.

0:21:04.359 --> 0:21:06.720
<v Speaker 1>Can't imagine the work that went into from the NBC

0:21:06.840 --> 0:21:09.959
<v Speaker 1>folks to the NBC staffs and NBC all those technical

0:21:09.960 --> 0:21:10.920
<v Speaker 1>folks that put that together.

0:21:11.000 --> 0:21:12.040
<v Speaker 3>We know what that's like.

0:21:13.920 --> 0:21:16.960
<v Speaker 1>But of course the production, the French folks who actually

0:21:17.000 --> 0:21:20.480
<v Speaker 1>produced the show and put all the elements together, we applaud.

0:21:21.000 --> 0:21:24.720
<v Speaker 1>But so much of the broadcast is in the hands

0:21:24.760 --> 0:21:28.720
<v Speaker 1>of the broadcasters. The main anchors in this time, it

0:21:28.760 --> 0:21:31.560
<v Speaker 1>was Mike Turico, it was Kelly Clarkson, it was Peyton

0:21:31.560 --> 0:21:35.200
<v Speaker 1>Manning and one of the three of them, I suppose

0:21:35.320 --> 0:21:38.800
<v Speaker 1>robes At this point is being talked about more than another,

0:21:38.920 --> 0:21:40.560
<v Speaker 1>and no, this is part of it.

0:21:40.600 --> 0:21:41.000
<v Speaker 3>Sometimes.

0:21:41.040 --> 0:21:46.600
<v Speaker 2>Look, Kelly Clarkson, she was being herself. She was not

0:21:46.720 --> 0:21:50.159
<v Speaker 2>trying to be someone who was a sports fan or

0:21:50.200 --> 0:21:53.159
<v Speaker 2>someone who had sports vaccine figures. She just was reacting

0:21:53.880 --> 0:21:56.359
<v Speaker 2>like a human. And so she made a lot of

0:21:56.400 --> 0:21:59.200
<v Speaker 2>comments throughout the broadcast, and then there were a lot

0:21:59.200 --> 0:22:02.840
<v Speaker 2>of comments on social media about how she was reacting

0:22:02.880 --> 0:22:05.919
<v Speaker 2>to the opening ceremony. And so there've already been some

0:22:06.040 --> 0:22:08.320
<v Speaker 2>articles written, and I'm sure by the time you're hearing

0:22:08.400 --> 0:22:10.160
<v Speaker 2>this you may have read some of them, but they

0:22:10.760 --> 0:22:14.720
<v Speaker 2>have said headlines like Kelly Clarkson is facing backlash that

0:22:14.800 --> 0:22:18.879
<v Speaker 2>she interfered with fans' ability to enjoy the show because

0:22:18.920 --> 0:22:22.440
<v Speaker 2>of her comments. You know, some people had said things

0:22:22.480 --> 0:22:27.800
<v Speaker 2>that she was basically being disruptive without a lot of substance.

0:22:28.320 --> 0:22:29.800
<v Speaker 2>And I will say there were some people who did

0:22:29.840 --> 0:22:31.560
<v Speaker 2>come to her defense and they said, look, she was

0:22:31.560 --> 0:22:34.119
<v Speaker 2>like the fun aunt and someone else said she was

0:22:34.200 --> 0:22:37.840
<v Speaker 2>like a golden retriever. And another one points out, Kelly

0:22:37.840 --> 0:22:41.239
<v Speaker 2>Clarkson is an incredible entertainer, an incredible vocalist. She had

0:22:41.280 --> 0:22:45.000
<v Speaker 2>a lot of passion. Let her live. I will say

0:22:45.000 --> 0:22:47.960
<v Speaker 2>that we enjoyed. We know how hard it is to

0:22:49.240 --> 0:22:52.479
<v Speaker 2>broadcast over and narrate live events, many which they didn't know.

0:22:52.520 --> 0:22:55.479
<v Speaker 2>These were surprises to us watching, but surprises to some

0:22:55.520 --> 0:22:58.640
<v Speaker 2>of them who were commenting. So they were giving genuine

0:22:58.680 --> 0:23:01.760
<v Speaker 2>reactions in real time, and that's not always easy to do.

0:23:01.920 --> 0:23:03.959
<v Speaker 1>It just isn't, especially if you have to do it

0:23:03.960 --> 0:23:08.040
<v Speaker 1>for four hours, four hours straight. And from what our understanding,

0:23:09.080 --> 0:23:12.720
<v Speaker 1>they carried a heavier load than anticipated because the weather

0:23:12.840 --> 0:23:15.520
<v Speaker 1>cost issues to it. They couldn't toss to a lot

0:23:15.560 --> 0:23:17.560
<v Speaker 1>of other talent that they thought might be able to

0:23:17.560 --> 0:23:20.560
<v Speaker 1>help them out. So, yep, I need to point that out,

0:23:20.560 --> 0:23:22.000
<v Speaker 1>but it's part of it. You're on this kind of

0:23:22.000 --> 0:23:24.480
<v Speaker 1>a stage and if people are going to say what

0:23:24.640 --> 0:23:25.320
<v Speaker 1>they want to.

0:23:25.280 --> 0:23:29.320
<v Speaker 3>Say, I give her credit for.

0:23:29.200 --> 0:23:31.680
<v Speaker 1>Not trying to be something else. We're used to broadcasters

0:23:32.240 --> 0:23:34.840
<v Speaker 1>and they broadcast there's almost sort of wordying we're and

0:23:34.880 --> 0:23:37.000
<v Speaker 1>maybe we're just accustomed to doing that. And if somebody

0:23:37.040 --> 0:23:40.360
<v Speaker 1>sees that that, you know what, we're used to broadcasters

0:23:40.400 --> 0:23:44.400
<v Speaker 1>probably in a lot of ways, robes not even noticing them.

0:23:44.760 --> 0:23:47.719
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes right right, you're supposed to be You're not supposed

0:23:47.720 --> 0:23:50.160
<v Speaker 1>to feel a certain way about the broadcaster.

0:23:50.240 --> 0:23:51.760
<v Speaker 3>They're just supposed to do a.

0:23:51.760 --> 0:23:55.280
<v Speaker 1>Thing, and maybe you reacted to her, and people don't

0:23:55.320 --> 0:23:56.480
<v Speaker 1>like reacting.

0:23:56.280 --> 0:24:00.600
<v Speaker 2>You know, And look, she is not she's not necessary.

0:24:00.600 --> 0:24:02.240
<v Speaker 2>She's the host of her own show, but she's not

0:24:02.280 --> 0:24:04.639
<v Speaker 2>somebody who's been trained professionally as a journalist to do

0:24:04.680 --> 0:24:07.320
<v Speaker 2>any of this. And look, you know, anytime we went

0:24:07.359 --> 0:24:09.800
<v Speaker 2>out to go cover the Olympics over the last twenty years,

0:24:10.880 --> 0:24:15.320
<v Speaker 2>and we have that huge binder that you would take

0:24:15.359 --> 0:24:18.080
<v Speaker 2>with you on the plane, that would sleep next to

0:24:18.119 --> 0:24:20.359
<v Speaker 2>you in your bed each day because you had to

0:24:20.440 --> 0:24:23.840
<v Speaker 2>know so much about all of these athletes. We have

0:24:24.000 --> 0:24:27.399
<v Speaker 2>nearly six hundred US athletes and they would all be

0:24:27.440 --> 0:24:29.680
<v Speaker 2>in that binder, in addition to some of the big

0:24:29.960 --> 0:24:32.120
<v Speaker 2>athletes in other countries, and so there was so much

0:24:32.119 --> 0:24:36.320
<v Speaker 2>information to digest, to remember, to memorize, to try and

0:24:36.680 --> 0:24:40.199
<v Speaker 2>have facts and figures when you're commenting or looking at

0:24:41.160 --> 0:24:42.960
<v Speaker 2>events and being able to explain them to the audience.

0:24:42.960 --> 0:24:45.679
<v Speaker 2>Who isn't there, you know, that wasn't her role. And

0:24:45.720 --> 0:24:47.840
<v Speaker 2>so I think people have that expectation that she's got.

0:24:47.880 --> 0:24:49.760
<v Speaker 2>She had her bind her and she was studying and

0:24:49.800 --> 0:24:52.000
<v Speaker 2>she knew this and that you know, that's what Mike

0:24:52.040 --> 0:24:54.280
<v Speaker 2>Tarico was there for I'm sure, and she and Peyton

0:24:54.280 --> 0:24:56.000
<v Speaker 2>were there for color and that's what she did. So

0:24:56.359 --> 0:24:58.639
<v Speaker 2>I think there might have been an expectation that she

0:24:59.640 --> 0:25:02.720
<v Speaker 2>should act and react the way a lot of professional

0:25:02.760 --> 0:25:03.920
<v Speaker 2>broadcasters would have.

0:25:05.280 --> 0:25:08.840
<v Speaker 1>And you know what, to each their all. I respect

0:25:08.840 --> 0:25:12.239
<v Speaker 1>anybody who has an opinion about it. Don't respect any

0:25:12.240 --> 0:25:14.640
<v Speaker 1>boy was being mean about it when it comes to her,

0:25:14.720 --> 0:25:16.879
<v Speaker 1>But not respect anybody who has an opinion. But I

0:25:17.240 --> 0:25:22.359
<v Speaker 1>enjoyed watching I always appreciate obviously Mike Turcos, that's fantastic,

0:25:22.680 --> 0:25:23.439
<v Speaker 1>but he's amazing.

0:25:23.560 --> 0:25:25.879
<v Speaker 3>Appreciated a breath of fresh air. And Paton is a

0:25:26.359 --> 0:25:27.280
<v Speaker 3>wonderful broadcaster.

0:25:27.480 --> 0:25:29.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he was great. He was great. I thought he

0:25:29.640 --> 0:25:33.000
<v Speaker 2>had a nice just it was a warmth about it,

0:25:33.240 --> 0:25:35.719
<v Speaker 2>and they were having fun. I think that's the thing.

0:25:35.960 --> 0:25:38.920
<v Speaker 2>Kelly Clarkson was enjoying the heck out of herself, as

0:25:39.080 --> 0:25:43.520
<v Speaker 2>were we sitting on the couch watching it. Oh yeah,

0:25:43.640 --> 0:25:47.399
<v Speaker 2>Snoop he speaking of enjoying his time. Yes, he seemed

0:25:47.440 --> 0:25:48.280
<v Speaker 2>to be having a blast.

0:25:50.320 --> 0:25:52.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, unlike those other times.

0:25:52.480 --> 0:25:55.639
<v Speaker 2>He isn't right, he was. He was just classic Snoop dog.

0:25:55.800 --> 0:25:57.280
<v Speaker 1>That might be one of those dudes if you could

0:25:57.280 --> 0:25:59.959
<v Speaker 1>switch to my add you could switch lives with anybody.

0:26:00.320 --> 0:26:05.600
<v Speaker 1>Just give me one weekend as Snoop DOGG a Tuesday

0:26:05.760 --> 0:26:06.720
<v Speaker 1>as Snoop dog It.

0:26:06.920 --> 0:26:07.960
<v Speaker 3>Just give me a day.

0:26:09.000 --> 0:26:12.880
<v Speaker 1>But at this point, hats off to NBC, Hats off

0:26:13.000 --> 0:26:17.880
<v Speaker 1>to that team that's off to a just a resounding start.

0:26:17.920 --> 0:26:22.800
<v Speaker 1>I cannot applaud them enough for the show they pulled

0:26:22.840 --> 0:26:24.680
<v Speaker 1>off today at the Olympics.

0:26:24.760 --> 0:26:25.959
<v Speaker 3>It was so thrilling.

0:26:27.040 --> 0:26:28.600
<v Speaker 1>It did slow down, That's what I'm okay. That was

0:26:28.640 --> 0:26:31.480
<v Speaker 1>the point where once you get through, once the it

0:26:31.560 --> 0:26:35.119
<v Speaker 1>was a very very very cool shot. The mechanic horse,

0:26:35.640 --> 0:26:37.000
<v Speaker 1>mechanical horse that was going.

0:26:37.119 --> 0:26:40.359
<v Speaker 2>Said the horse wasn't going quickly enough when it first started.

0:26:40.400 --> 0:26:42.520
<v Speaker 3>You remember, I was like, wow, that is awesome.

0:26:42.600 --> 0:26:43.919
<v Speaker 2>Okay, the horse needs to speed up.

0:26:43.920 --> 0:26:46.919
<v Speaker 3>Now, wow, that horse is still running.

0:26:47.280 --> 0:26:49.000
<v Speaker 1>And it seemed like it took forever because it took

0:26:49.040 --> 0:26:51.800
<v Speaker 1>the same three point seven mile trek. As the athletes

0:26:51.840 --> 0:26:55.679
<v Speaker 1>in their boats comes off it, it stops and then

0:26:55.720 --> 0:26:59.600
<v Speaker 1>we see a real horse right with the same person riding,

0:26:59.720 --> 0:27:02.200
<v Speaker 1>if you will, like kind of a seamless transition.

0:27:02.520 --> 0:27:04.200
<v Speaker 3>But then the horse was walking really slowly.

0:27:04.400 --> 0:27:06.440
<v Speaker 2>I think that's when I went and got the French

0:27:06.560 --> 0:27:10.200
<v Speaker 2>bread and the bree cheese out beat that our iHeart

0:27:10.280 --> 0:27:10.919
<v Speaker 2>team sent us.

0:27:11.080 --> 0:27:13.480
<v Speaker 1>Okay, well, while you were gone, I kept my eyes

0:27:13.520 --> 0:27:16.560
<v Speaker 1>on this horse. Then the person got off the horse

0:27:16.880 --> 0:27:19.080
<v Speaker 1>and walked very slowly, very well.

0:27:19.280 --> 0:27:21.159
<v Speaker 2>It was wet and rainy, so that was to make

0:27:21.200 --> 0:27:21.880
<v Speaker 2>it pretty smart.

0:27:22.200 --> 0:27:24.320
<v Speaker 1>I applaud them with the boots walking up the steps.

0:27:24.440 --> 0:27:27.160
<v Speaker 1>But it was just, yes, it just I got dragged out.

0:27:27.200 --> 0:27:29.639
<v Speaker 1>And then there were speeches that made it feel like, oh, that.

0:27:29.800 --> 0:27:32.800
<v Speaker 2>Was that was the low point. I'm sorry that sounds bad,

0:27:32.880 --> 0:27:35.240
<v Speaker 2>but that was a low point for me. Listening to

0:27:36.080 --> 0:27:39.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, McCrone speak and uh and Peter Box.

0:27:39.119 --> 0:27:41.000
<v Speaker 1>I think they would admit that it was the low

0:27:41.080 --> 0:27:43.000
<v Speaker 1>point of the show too long. They weren't trying to

0:27:43.040 --> 0:27:46.400
<v Speaker 1>top that stuff. But you then you have I didn't

0:27:46.400 --> 0:27:48.879
<v Speaker 1>even know Serena Williams into up playing a role and

0:27:49.000 --> 0:27:52.920
<v Speaker 1>carrying the torch, and they finally light the cauldron, which

0:27:52.960 --> 0:27:55.440
<v Speaker 1>they didn't even we didn't even know where the cauldron.

0:27:55.280 --> 0:27:57.800
<v Speaker 3>Was, right, and the thing floats up in the air

0:27:57.920 --> 0:27:58.440
<v Speaker 3>with the hot air.

0:27:58.480 --> 0:28:02.240
<v Speaker 2>But this was so it was so cool and I

0:28:02.320 --> 0:28:03.639
<v Speaker 2>looked it up because I had to know. I was like,

0:28:03.760 --> 0:28:06.320
<v Speaker 2>is this going to be like this, like floating suspended.

0:28:06.359 --> 0:28:08.320
<v Speaker 2>I think they said it was sixty meters up in

0:28:08.359 --> 0:28:11.320
<v Speaker 2>the air, but it's pretty cool. Basically after sunset until

0:28:11.359 --> 0:28:14.359
<v Speaker 2>two am every night that is going to float up

0:28:14.720 --> 0:28:17.600
<v Speaker 2>and when it's on the ground. I think they set

0:28:17.680 --> 0:28:19.560
<v Speaker 2>up to ten thousand people a day can come visit

0:28:19.640 --> 0:28:21.400
<v Speaker 2>it and take a look at it. And it's cool

0:28:21.480 --> 0:28:25.520
<v Speaker 2>because it's all green, it's not using any fuel. There's

0:28:25.560 --> 0:28:28.480
<v Speaker 2>some technology that I didn't quite understand that involved water

0:28:28.760 --> 0:28:31.840
<v Speaker 2>and air and I don't know, but it's an electric light,

0:28:32.080 --> 0:28:35.040
<v Speaker 2>so it's really really cool. I loved what they did

0:28:35.080 --> 0:28:35.240
<v Speaker 2>with that.

0:28:35.720 --> 0:28:35.920
<v Speaker 3>Well.

0:28:36.000 --> 0:28:38.280
<v Speaker 1>They are also a good start things to look forward

0:28:38.320 --> 0:28:41.960
<v Speaker 1>to on this day as you're hearing this Saturday now

0:28:43.400 --> 0:28:47.440
<v Speaker 1>in Paris and around France. Yes, the US men will

0:28:47.560 --> 0:28:50.360
<v Speaker 1>start up again as they are in group stage right

0:28:50.400 --> 0:28:52.400
<v Speaker 1>now of in soccer.

0:28:52.880 --> 0:28:55.640
<v Speaker 3>They really really need a result or they could be

0:28:56.320 --> 0:28:57.080
<v Speaker 3>at risk.

0:28:56.920 --> 0:29:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Of going home really early from these olymp But this

0:29:01.240 --> 0:29:02.560
<v Speaker 1>is going to be the most helpful tip and the

0:29:02.600 --> 0:29:06.480
<v Speaker 1>most useful tool we give you in this episode. Hear

0:29:06.600 --> 0:29:11.920

<v Speaker 1>website Nbcolympics dot com.

0:29:16.200 --> 0:29:18.600
<v Speaker 3>This is so weird. I mean, I couldn't imagine, right,

0:29:18.880 --> 0:29:20.840
<v Speaker 3>not too long ago promoting another.

0:29:20.720 --> 0:29:25.480
<v Speaker 1>Nav'm promoting NBC. But I'm telling you this because when

0:29:25.520 --> 0:29:28.240
<v Speaker 1>you go to that website at the top left corner,

0:29:28.680 --> 0:29:31.680
<v Speaker 1>plain as Day, you will see a tab that says schedule.

0:29:32.240 --> 0:29:32.880
<v Speaker 3>Click on that.

0:29:33.480 --> 0:29:36.960
<v Speaker 1>They have the entire schedule of events laid out in

0:29:37.040 --> 0:29:40.000

<v Speaker 1>ones are on digital and TV, which is very helpful

0:29:54.400 --> 0:29:58.080
<v Speaker 1>right now because you need to have Peacock the app

0:29:58.200 --> 0:30:00.080
<v Speaker 1>if you want to watch a lot of stuff. The

0:30:00.120 --> 0:30:02.080

0:30:12.280 --> 0:30:14.360
<v Speaker 2>that we're looking forward to. But you know, when you

0:30:14.440 --> 0:30:18.200
<v Speaker 2>start really diving in to see all the different thirty

0:30:18.200 --> 0:30:20.880
<v Speaker 2>two different sports, is there a little known one or

0:30:20.880 --> 0:30:23.760
<v Speaker 2>a smaller one that you're curious about that you want

0:30:23.800 --> 0:30:24.240
<v Speaker 2>to check.

0:30:24.120 --> 0:30:25.800
<v Speaker 3>Out table tennis.

0:30:26.120 --> 0:30:29.760
<v Speaker 2>That's what I was gonna say. Ping pong aka ping pong, Yes,

0:30:30.480 --> 0:30:30.760
<v Speaker 2>love it.

0:30:31.320 --> 0:30:34.560
<v Speaker 1>Love table tennis because it's unreal what they do, so

0:30:34.720 --> 0:30:36.880
<v Speaker 1>it's just you don't get a chance to watch it

0:30:37.000 --> 0:30:38.080
<v Speaker 1>like this often.

0:30:38.960 --> 0:30:40.440
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely I want to watch that.

0:30:40.560 --> 0:30:42.080
<v Speaker 2>And the other thing I'd like to see is the

0:30:42.160 --> 0:30:44.400
<v Speaker 2>surfing because they're doing it in Tahiti, and I think

0:30:44.440 --> 0:30:46.840
<v Speaker 2>I just want to watch just for like, I don't know,

0:30:47.880 --> 0:30:51.000

<v Speaker 2>table tennis right on my list.

0:30:57.240 --> 0:30:59.680
<v Speaker 1>The other one is fencing because that's something you don't

0:30:59.680 --> 0:31:01.880
<v Speaker 1>get to watch a lot, so you take the opportunity.

0:31:01.920 --> 0:31:04.720
<v Speaker 1>But just it takes so much discipline to do that,

0:31:04.800 --> 0:31:05.920
<v Speaker 1>it's all I'm always impressed.

0:31:06.040 --> 0:31:07.600
<v Speaker 2>And beach volleyball is fun to check out.

0:31:08.840 --> 0:31:10.480
<v Speaker 3>What are they saying they're doing that in the backdrop

0:31:10.560 --> 0:31:13.880
<v Speaker 3>of the tower. That's unreal, so cool, it's unreal.
