02:10August 6th.
02:11I'd be remiss not to wish a happy birthday to Minaj Shyamalan.
02:13Oh, really?
02:14Mm hmm.
02:15Wow.
02:16Yeah.
02:17Minaj.
02:18That's I believe that's what the M is for.
02:19Oh, OK.
02:20All right.
02:21That makes a lot of sense.
02:22Yeah.
02:23You seen his new movie?
02:24No.
02:25I've never seen it.
02:26I've never seen a movie universally loved and panned at the same time.
02:29Everyone says the same thing.
02:30They're like, yeah, I had a good time with it.
02:31Horrible movie, though.
02:32Dude, he should have retired like old is one of the most dog shit movies ever.
02:38Awful.
02:39Awful.
02:40Yeah.
02:41That makes you old.
02:42I'm pretty sure he's had a worse movie than old, though.
02:46Avatar, the last.
02:47Oh, yeah.
02:48Yes.
02:49Yeah.
02:50Yeah.
02:51That's it.
02:52It is.
02:53It's it could be the worst movie ever made.
02:55It's insane how bad that that infuriated people.
02:59I've never seen anybody more angry about a movie before ever.
03:03It was that peak of where they thought they could just take a beloved thing, take the
03:07name and do whatever they want with it, and everybody would love it.
03:09They are still doing that constantly.
03:11Sure.
03:12They did come out the brand new Avatar series.
03:13One, it was also not very good shit, but you see what he's doing, though, is his daughters
03:19have gotten run lately like his one of his daughters was this was the pop star in the
03:24movie Trap and the other one directed a movie, which is horrible of the Watchers came out
03:29this year.
03:30Was it?
03:31Is she like a twist girl?
03:32I know.
03:33Yeah, it's if you would have if you would have just seen the show on part, you would
03:36have you would have assumed it was him.
03:38Yeah, that's you don't have to.
03:40You don't have to be a twist in every movie.
03:41Not every movie has to have a great, right?
03:43You really don't go into his waiting for it.
03:46He kind of fucked himself.
03:47He did.
03:48Yeah.
03:49When you would that that is a tough thing to establish.
03:50I'm the twist guy.
03:52What's like Knives Out?
03:53Very good movie.
03:54But the second one, I liked it, but people don't like it as much.
03:56But because now you have this expectation that Soderbergh with Ocean's Eleven to everything
04:00is like, you can't have a fucking twist.
04:02Yeah.
04:03They visit the visit by M. Night Shyamalan, though.
04:06That was actually great.
04:07It kind of like hits on everyone's fear of old people.
04:11And oh, Graham, have you ever seen it?
04:14No.
04:15It's a good movie.
04:16I do.
04:17Yeah.
04:18The best twist in any movie ever is fucking Final Destination.
04:20You realize it's the prequel.
04:23Did you?
04:24Oh, you're saying Twisted Final Destination?
04:25No, no.
04:26Yeah.
04:27Yeah.
04:28The twist in Final Destination, when you find out that movie you're watching is the
04:29prequel to the first one ever.
04:30That was sick.
04:31I like the Final Destination.
04:32I do, too.
04:33And like in like a I know they're not good way, but they're just like, I'm never going
04:36to give it a standing ovation.
04:37Have you ever?
04:38Did you ever play the DVD that you could do the choose your own adventure version?
04:41No.
04:42Yeah.
04:43Because I think I think one of the Final Destinations that depending on what showing
04:46you went to, there were different endings.
04:47Oh, OK.
04:48So when the DVD came out, you could like choose your own adventure.
04:50I had no idea there were different endings.
04:52It's cool, too.
04:53Yeah.
04:54So I just remember the Rugrats movie was scratch and sniff at one point in time.
04:57That was sick.
04:58The first Rugrats in Paris.
04:59I don't know.
05:00You don't want to smell Paris, do you, Donnie?
05:03Actually hasn't smelled as bad as I thought.
05:05But my God, it was hot a few days ago and sweltering, sweltering.
05:12I had no AC.
05:13I was losing my mind for a while.
05:15I was just like angry all the time.
05:17Like I couldn't think.
05:18That's why we changed Airbnbs.
05:19Now we're in a nice one.
05:21But the moment we changed Airbnbs and got AC, it cooled down.
05:25And yeah, I feel like a human being again.
05:28All the all the horny men were very upset the first couple of days in Paris.
05:34It was raining.
05:35And so the beach volleyball matches.
05:37A lot of the women were wearing pants.
05:39It's fucking bullshitting.
05:40Yeah.
05:41And people are mad.
05:42I'm I won't.
05:43And you get fined if you don't wear a uniform uniform, right?
05:45So I won't name names.
05:47Someone here at the company might have a nickname of the Don, not the one on the screen.
05:53He tweeted.
05:54He's like, and it's not the one in Paris.
05:55He tweeted.
05:56He's like, he's like, we don't have anything nice anymore.
05:58And I did.
05:59I tweeted.
06:00I'm like, I'm like, it's it's like rainy and like 40.
06:02Yeah.
06:03Now it's hot.
06:04And they are very much in there.
06:05And because now they're getting it's back to the thing where everyone's like Dante can
06:07finally rest.
06:08We're like, like the family values.
06:10People are like, this is un-fucking-believable.
06:11Put some clothes on.
06:13Well, I will say everyone's back to wearing bathing suits except for Team Egypt.
06:17Right.
06:18Yeah.
06:19They're still.
06:20I got to see them live.
06:21It was Egypt versus Italy shirts for skins, but I didn't make that joke.
06:28How is it?
06:29Like, what's give us an update?
06:30What have you seen?
06:31Anything?
06:32Anything surprising?
06:33You have some great stories.
06:35Yeah.
06:36No, it's been a lot of fun.
06:37It was a shame that like the opening ceremony was just pouring for about like five hours.
06:44Like it started pouring right when it started and it stopped pouring right when it ended.
06:49That was unfortunate.
06:51But Paris has been nice.
06:52The heat really got to me, but I've been able to meet some athletes.
06:57I actually got to meet the USA Women's Volleyball team.
07:00Oh, yeah.
07:01Very good.
07:02They, I believe, have either won while we record this or up two sets.
07:04Nothing on Poland.
07:05Oh, I thought I saw that they lost to Canada and are now out.
07:11Oh, there's.
07:12Beach volleyball.
07:13Oh, yeah.
07:14Yeah.
07:15Yeah.
07:16They did.
07:17Unfortunately, the other team is still in it.
07:18Those two did lose.
07:19Yeah.
07:20OK.
07:21That's that's good.
07:22The Parisian people have been friendly.
07:24I've obviously heard people talk a lot of shit.
07:26The only bad experience with them is was when I put like my toes on the seat in front of
07:31me on a train and just a lady walked over.
07:34She goes, that's forbidden.
07:36And then immediately takes out the credit card machine.
07:39And she's like, 60 euro fine.
07:41Had to pay it right there on the spot.
07:43Oh, no way.
07:44Yeah.
07:45Just like I didn't even get a warning.
07:48Oh, my God.
07:49Now they take it seriously.
07:52I'm not a foot guy.
07:53Feet are gross.
07:54Yeah, good.
07:55There should have been more money.
07:56I did almost ask if it was like somebody on the magic, just like civilians have them.
07:59They can just find whoever they want.
08:00Yeah.
08:01I'd love that.
08:02A civilian.
08:03Yeah.
08:04Crazy.
08:05And here's the thing.
08:06If you put your toes on the seat on the train, it's also a 60 dollar fine.
08:09So it's the same penalty for putting your toes on the seat or just smoking a cigarette
08:14on the top.
08:15You should have smoked.
08:16Yeah, I know.
08:17It would have been that 60 euros would have been worth it.
08:21What what about food wise, have you have you stuffed your face?
08:25One of our one of our car.
08:26I know Max.
08:27Do you think is even stuff in his face?
08:30Max was there.
08:31I tell you what, I haven't.
08:34I haven't like sought out like really highly recommended restaurants.
08:37So the French food I've had has just been so-so.
08:40But the smash burgers I've had in Paris have been the best smash burgers out of my life.
08:47You posted you said the smash burgers are unbelievable.
08:48I would never expect that.
08:50That's what you find in Paris.
08:51That's a huge loss for the United States.
08:52That is.
08:54And they're super trendy.
08:56Like there was about four different smash burger spots within a 10 minute walk of my
09:00Airbnb.
09:02Have you done any Americanized fast food chains there?
09:05You did that in China a bunch.
09:07I've been to McDonald's twice.
09:10They have the like McGreek, which is like looks like a burger, but it's in a pita patty.
09:17And then they have incredible chicken wraps.
09:19And they have this like maple double quarter pounder with cheese that I've not tried yet.
09:25But I would love to McDonald's not make an ad for McDonald's.
09:29No free ads.
09:30Kevin Arch is also an ad, I guess, saying that at the Olympics is the best McDonald's
09:34in the world.
09:35Really?
09:36That was my experience in London.
09:37It just like within like the games, too, and they're just it's unbelievable.
09:40The quality is so high.
09:42Very McDonald's.
09:43I would have also kind of isn't it kind of weird that like steak frites is one of the
09:48signature dishes of Paris, which is known for like, you know, very gourmet meals, but
09:53also steak and fries is like the first meal a dude learns to cook after college.
09:58Yeah.
10:00I don't look at that as like a fancy dish at all.
10:03Yeah, but it's like I think it's probably one of their national dishes.
10:08When you think of French food, you think of steak frites, maybe duck confit, escargot.
10:12Yeah.
10:13Do you like escargot?
10:14Have we had escargot together?
10:18I've never had escargot.
10:19Okay.
10:20Yeah.
10:21Dude, I was with Nick the first time he had a shrimp and it was not that long ago.
10:24Yeah, that's right.
10:25That's right.
10:26Yeah.
10:27Okay.
10:28It definitely was KB.
10:30He's more adventurous of an eater than I am.
10:31He also likes tartar.
10:32He loves.
10:33Yeah.
10:34Yeah.
10:35There is a, there's a, we were in LA for the Superbowl and we went to a Musso and Frank,
10:39very famous restaurant in Hollywood Boulevard.
10:42They they eat there and like once upon a time in Hollywood.
10:45Yeah.
10:46So we went there with large and Devlin in large, like order whatever you want.
10:49And KB or three orders of tartar.
10:51Right.
10:52Oh yeah.
10:53He'll yeah.
10:54He'll do that.
10:55He'll do that everywhere.
10:56He's a tartar guy.
10:57That's what, that's what he loves.
10:59Yeah.
11:00So where are you going to leave?
11:01Are you going to be able to attend?
11:02A lot more tickets have come on sale so far.
11:03I've seen a woman's rugby.
11:06I've seen water polo, three V three basketball.
11:10We suck at that.
11:11Yeah.
11:12The women's, the women's team started Owen too.
11:14So you know, the, the very tall, attractive and good basketball player.
11:18See there you go.
11:19It was fair.
11:20Cameron Brink.
11:21Uh, she's, she's very popular on online.
11:24Yes.
11:25She blew out her knee or something before the game.
11:27So the women had a disadvantage.
11:29They came back.
11:30They should have made the gold medal game yesterday.
11:31The men stunk.
11:32The men, well, no offense, no offense.
11:34That's done.
11:35That was hurt.
11:36And the first, yes, he did get a big rub down of the second game.
11:40And the thing is with three V three basketball, you're only allowed a four person roster.
11:45And whatever that roster is during the opening ceremony, you're set.
11:48So the moment he got hurt, USA had just zero subs.
11:52They did almost come back.
11:53They won a couple of games.
11:54They actually, they were in a winning end for the knockout, but they were the number
11:58one ranked team in the world.
11:59Why are we not using NBA players for this?
12:00They can't.
12:01You, you have to, you have to commit a certain amount of time.
12:03You have to play in FIBA three V three.
12:05So like anyone in the NBA would never be able to do that.
12:08Maybe college guys that could find her like old, like people said, take the older guys,
12:11like in the ice cube league.
12:12Oh yeah.
12:13Yeah.
12:14But that was the number one player in the world.
12:16And team USA was the number one team in the world coming in.
12:19So they were supposed to be as top and embarrassed.
12:21How was it in person to watch that though?
12:23It was actually a lot of fun just because the venue is beautiful.
12:26It's in Concord.
12:27So it's right next to this obelisk that the French stole from Egypt.
12:32It's like giant thing.
12:35And then you, you also have like views of the Eiffel tower and then the skateboarding
12:40park and the break dancing part are like right across the way.
12:44So after the game, you break dancing park, what do they have to construct for the break
12:47dancing?
12:48Yeah, it's just a floor.
12:51Okay.
12:53It's just the floor.
12:54But it was funny.
12:56I was there right before like their third game and I was so pumped to see Jimmer and
13:00they also have warmup courts that you can like, you can watch them warm up and Jimmer's
13:04just on the bench wearing dark sunglasses and like everyone around was like, Hey Jimmer,
13:10Hey Jimmer.
13:11And he's just staring directly in front and like not turning around, interacting with
13:16anyone.
13:17And I was like, Oh no.
13:18Did he get like, is he just not playing?
13:20Then I talked to his trainer and they're like, yeah, man, he, I think he's out for the tournament.
13:26Oh fuck.
13:27That did suck.
13:28Yeah.
13:29That's a tough one.
13:30Cause it's like any, any type of basketball, all eyes are going to be on you.
13:32And now people, people get a hard on to be negative about the men's basketball team.
13:37They like every negative thing they can find and talk about like the team is a men's, but
13:40they love, I don't know why people love to do it.
13:42They can just enjoy the fact they're being a piss out of people, but they've been playing
13:44well enough where they kind of turn their eyes and you saw people just trashing the
13:48three on three team.
13:49Well, they should win.
13:50They should win.
13:51It is tough.
13:52Latvia is very good at that.
13:53They won gold.
13:54That's where Germany won gold.
13:56Not us though.
13:57We did not win gold.
13:58We did not defend our title.
13:59Yeah.
14:00That was tough.
14:01Get well soon.
14:02Gemma.
14:03We all love you.
14:04Yeah.
14:05Surfing.
14:06You know where surfing is?
14:07It's in Tahiti.
14:08French Polynesia.
14:09They sent a Colin Jost there.
14:10NBC.
14:11No kidding.
14:12Yeah.
14:13He's the host of Jeopardy pop culture.
14:14He is.
14:15Yeah.
14:16Pop culture.
14:17Jeopardy.
14:18Yeah.
14:19I went there on my honeymoon actually.
14:20Oh yeah.
14:21Yeah.
14:22How are the, how are the waves?
14:23Great waves.
14:24Not great food.
14:26So.
14:27French Polynesia.
14:28Yeah.
14:29French Polynesia.
14:30If you want it, if you want an Asian beach, I would go to Thailand because then you'll
14:33get incredible food too.
14:35I'm not going to any beaches if I'm in Thailand.
14:39I'll be elsewhere Donnie.
14:40Only brothels for Nikki.
14:44One thing that people never talk about in the U.S. is men's field hockey.
14:48Like I feel like people would jump at an opportunity to watch that because we never have a chance
14:53to watch men play field hockey, but, um, it's a big sport in like Australia, India
14:57and Europe.
14:58Netherlands.
14:59And, um, it's just hockey.
15:01No way.
15:02It's just hockey.
15:03Yeah.
15:04That's how they, yeah.
15:05It's a couple.
15:06There's a couple of those Olympics where like athletics is track and field break dancing
15:09is breaking.
15:10Yeah.
15:11Yeah.
15:12They, they don't like it, but they don't like when you say break dancing, right?
15:17Yes.
15:18Yeah.
15:19Yeah.
15:20Yeah.
15:21Yeah.
15:22Yeah.
15:23Yeah.
15:24It's the first year.
15:25Yeah.
15:26So there was this Australian male field hockey player and, uh, he broke his finger during
15:31the qualifiers.
15:32And so he, uh, the doctor was like, Hey, uh, you can't play unless you get part of the
15:38finger amputated.
15:39And he was like, I'm not going to miss this Olympics and got the top part of his ring
15:43finger amputated.
15:45That's the coolest choice imaginable.
15:47I don't think that's it.
15:48I don't think there's a downside to that.
15:50Yeah.
15:51I guess it's, it's cool.
15:52I guess a lot of people in the U S wouldn't think it it's called simply for the fact that
15:56he's playing field hockey, right?
15:59But like any excuse to get those Olympic rings tattooed on, on me, I might do it anyway.
16:06What's the, what event would you say you played?
16:07I would just say I'm a fan.
16:09I went, yeah, I've watched.
16:12Yeah.
16:13You guys have both went to the Olympics.
16:14You should get the tattoos.
16:15What did you do?
16:16What did you do?
16:17Uh, you peacock.
16:18Yeah.
16:19Yeah.
16:20Yeah.
16:21I ran into a bam out of bio ledge, but I was just, he is on in the FIBA game.
16:27He's Michael Jordan.
16:28He's unbelievable.
16:29Really?
16:30He's so good in the FIBA game.
16:31Yeah.
16:32Sorry.
16:33Go ahead.
16:34Yeah.
16:35They're, they're calling him the third splash brother, or I guess just LeBron James is.
16:37Um, but yeah, no, I just like, I wanted to see if he would actually think I was some
16:41sort of Olympic athlete.
16:43And so I just was like, guess what sport I play.
16:46And then he looked at my shirt for clues and I was wearing a Saturdays or for America
16:51shirt that the merch team had sent me with.
16:54So no clues there.
16:56He actually guessed that I was a shooter, like a rifle guy first.
17:02That would make sense.
17:03Cause you don't really need to be in like tip top shape.
17:05Yeah.
17:06But I told him I was an Archer and he believed me.
17:09Okay.
17:10I can be an Archer.
17:11I mean, our archery guy has a, has a rat Brady Ellison.
17:14He's a legend.
17:15He's lost in the gold medal match.
17:16Either.
17:17He's never won gold.
17:18He's awesome.
17:19He has a pretty big like beer belly.
17:20No kidding.
17:21And he just, he kind of sticks it out and it, yeah, it's, it's gonna be like this.
17:25I was floored to see how far those targets were away.
17:28TV.
17:29Doesn't do it justice.
17:30How far those targets are and the trajectory of the dark.
17:33It's crazy.
17:34Yeah.
17:35That that's a crazy one.
17:36Shooting is crazy.
17:37I think ski shooting is insane.
17:38Our, our ski shooting male guy, Vincent Hancock's one for goal.
17:41He's unreal.
17:42It doesn't miss, uh, this might get, I don't give a shit about the Olympics.
17:46Yeah.
17:47You're not, you're not.
17:48I'm not an Olympic guy.
17:49I love it.
17:50It's my, it's my, it's my, I've been watching Donny streams.
17:52I like the Olympic village.
17:54I like the, the surrounding fanfare and I like, I like when the U S wins, but I just
17:58don't watch it.
17:59I don't, I don't understand a lot of the sports scoring or tough.
18:03Summer of summer.
18:04Very difficult to get into.
18:05Yeah.
18:06It's rugby sevens.
18:07If you didn't know it, like it is a little like there was a bit of a learning curve.
18:11Yeah.
18:12But rugby sevens, I think is a fun sport to watch as opposed to the 15 on 15 first rugby
18:18where there's just like huge piles of people.
18:20You don't know what's going on.
18:21Sevens.
18:22You can watch like four matches in the span of an hour.
18:24Oh really?
18:25Or 12 minutes long.
18:26Oh, that's incredible.
18:27Six minutes.
18:28It's unbelievable.
18:29Oh, I love that.
18:30It's it has to be.
18:31They beat the shit out of each other.
18:32They can't do it for more than that.
18:34It's so fast.
18:35Cause he, that's, that's where you and PFT went when, when you punch somebody.
18:38Right?
18:39Yep.
18:40That's a sevens tournament.
18:42Like the thing is when I went to Hong Kong sevens, I'd maybe watched one minute of rugby,
18:47the entire eight hours I was there.
18:51This was the first time when I went here that I actually watched the sport.
18:53It's fun to watch, but I, I'd love to go to more events, but the thing is you can't like
18:58film any content in the venues.
19:01Yeah.
19:02That's tough.
19:03Yeah.
19:04I saw that we're already starting marketing for the LA games and they're using like Jalen
19:09Hertz.
19:10They're going to, they're going to let, they're going to let, and is that, no, no, no, no.
19:14I'm going to, I'm going to change what you just said.
19:15They're going to make NFL players play.
19:19That is not going to be like, Hey, do you guys, they're going to be very hard nosed
19:23about who plays because they want NFL players in it.
19:25That, that will have to be a bloodbath if, if, if we win by less than 21 failure, the
19:33pressure in, in LA, in America, if you're an NFL player to not do anything, but win
19:41by six or seven touchdowns, it's my, that's the, the basketball, I do think people have
19:48finally accepted the world is very fun.
19:50Yes.
19:51And it's like the expectations are going by 30 every time is ridiculous, but the world
19:54cares about basketball NFL flag football.
19:57No, that needs to be a shit show.
19:59Yeah.
20:00People on softball are back, but softball being played in Omaha at the LA Olympics.
20:04Oh, okay.
20:05Interesting.
20:06I just hope we can see Billy football coaching the Ugandan team against America.
20:11Could he get an invite for that?
20:12Yeah, but I guess like Uganda still has to qualify because only how many countries qualify?
20:18I think it's only 36 or something.
20:21I think it's around that for flag football.
20:23I don't know how many it's going to be.
20:25Yeah.
20:26And this, this will be the Olympics where our very own Jake Malasek.
20:28Yes.
20:29The goalie.
20:30That's right.
20:31Check the check team.
20:33Is there a chance that he'll be playing for them?
20:35Yes.
20:36Four years.
20:37Well, he's on the, he's on the roster.
20:38They, he will be if they qualify.
20:40Okay.
20:41I will watch every Olympic qualifier.
20:43Donnie, you'll have to go with him.
20:44Yeah.
20:45Yeah.
20:46But I mean, I don't have to go far.
20:48I just have, I just have to go to Los Angeles.
20:50Did you hear what the closing ceremony is going to be?
20:52Who's going to be the, oh, Kesha Tom Cruise.
20:55What?
20:56Yeah.
20:58The rumor is he's going to be like jumping down from the Hollywood sign.
21:00It's going to cut to him in Paris, jumping down to get the Olympic flag because it's
21:04the handover because half of the closing ceremony is the handover and it's going to be all American
21:08theme.
21:09Yeah.
21:10That's the point.
21:11He does all his own stunts.
21:12That would be horrible if it went bad the first time.
21:15The first time.
21:16Yeah.
21:17Yeah.
21:18First time it goes bad.
21:19Anything else?
21:20Yeah.
21:21Men's basketball.
21:22By the time this airs, men's basketball play, they're playing Brazil.
21:23They should kill them.
21:25I have one more Olympic take.
21:27I don't like that.
21:29We do total metal count.
21:31Yeah, it's, it's got, it is, it is gold like around the world, everywhere, but here it's
21:35gold and they, we get, we get made for, has anyone said that to you, Donnie?
21:39That should be a thing.
21:40Maybe you say you should maybe go around with the total metal count because that offends
21:43Europeans so much that we say we're leading in total.
21:47The problem is by the end of the day, we were probably going to be ahead and gold medal
21:50as well.
21:51Yeah.
21:52Europeans hate that.
21:53Well, it's, it's, I get it.
21:55I do too.
21:57It is like, in a sense, the only thing that matters.
21:59So yeah, I just, I don't, I don't like that.
22:03The charts are funny when like the we're maybe tied or maybe behind one or two with gold,
22:09but we're still beating it.
22:10We're beating China by like 30 medals.
22:13The last time we lost gold was the Beijing Olympics.
22:15China won and we almost, we should have lost in Tokyo.
22:18We got lucky in the last day, won a couple of gold and we're in a shape right now.
22:22Right now are we losing to China and gold?
22:24We are one back.
22:26We are actually one off the pace from Tokyo, but we're expected to pick up a ton in track
22:29that we did not win in, in Tokyo.
22:31Okay.
22:32There's a big race today.
22:33The women's 200 meters today.
22:34Um, and the U S a woman named Gabby Thomas may break out.
22:37You know, the women's 200 and a hundred has not been broken world record in 36 years.
22:41No flow.
22:42Joe, she, uh, she said it, the hundred was apparently a scam because the wind reader
22:47was off.
22:48Oh, it shouldn't have counted.
22:49The 200 was for real, but it hasn't been.
22:50I think it's gonna get broken today.
22:53One thing I learned is that China is nasty at weightlifting though.
22:57No way.
22:58Yeah.
22:59They're favored to win gold in that had no idea.
23:03Does China, do they have their athletes compete in more obscure sports to get more gold?
23:08Do they like push their athletes to do less worldwide popular sports?
23:14I feel like the Olympics is pretty much the only sports that China really cares about.
23:18Okay.
23:19They, they put their kids in like sport academies from the age of like five and they're like,
23:24okay, this is your sport.
23:25You're going to train until you win us a medal at the Olympics.
23:27There was a, there was a table tennis match the other day.
23:31And somebody said about the Chinese male or female, they said, he said, and the crazy
23:35thing is he didn't pick up a paddle until he was six years old.
23:39A lot of the like Olympic, uh, USA rugby players, they didn't pick up the sport until college.
23:47Yeah.
23:48They're both.
23:49Well, so is it not Perry Ellis?
23:50That's a clothing brand.
23:51Perry Baker, excuse me.
23:52Yeah.
23:53Uh, but he's very good.
23:54But the guy they had a couple of years ago for the last two Olympics, uh, Carlin Isles,
23:57he picked it up out of nowhere and he's one of the greatest rugby seven players ever.
24:01He's just an unbelievably fast player.
24:03Okay.
24:04Um, yeah.
24:05So it's a lot of guys who like maybe did NFL and yeah.
24:06So like how are we like skateboarding?
24:09The women's one is on right now.
24:11We won silver and bronze, Nigel Houston.
24:13Yeah, really.
24:14We, uh, he won bronze and I forget the other, uh, uh, Jagger eaten one silver, I believe.
24:19Um, and then the women's park is on right now.
24:22Cool.
24:23Yeah.
24:24Skateboard.
24:25I always forget.
24:26That's actually also in the game.
24:27There's so many.
24:28Right.
24:29BMX racing is my favorite.
24:30Yeah.
24:31BMX.
24:32There's a cross kayak, which is like, that's a crazy one where you have to like flip upside
24:34down in the water.
24:35No, that's.
24:36Yeah.
24:37Now do you get into that?
24:38How do you train for that?
24:39So you watch kayaking?
24:40Yeah.
24:41It's crazy.
24:42Then now they do a race with three people and at the same time and they drop them from
24:44like 12 feet.
24:45It's insane.
24:46Yeah.
24:47That's awesome.
24:48They, they drop them from 12 feet.
24:49They, it's like, it's combat.
24:50You're allowed to kind of like knock the other person out of the way.
24:53You go through an obstacle course, you got to do a barrel roll obstacle course, and then
24:57you finish.
24:58I just talked to the USA bronze medalist, um, who competed in that.
25:03Uh, and I was like, how did you get into this?
25:06And she was like, well, my dad was like really into it.
25:09And I was like, well then how did your dad get into it?
25:11And she was like, well, his dad was really into it.
25:14Exactly.
25:15Yeah.
25:16I think it just goes back to the people who invented the sport.
25:19I don't know how you go up to your parents, big mom, dad, I want to do, do this.
25:23Like where do you even start to train for that?
25:24It has to be a parent.
25:26Yeah.
25:27I mean, if you grow up near a river with a lot of Rapids, you can, you can do some training
25:31in your backyard, but I think most of their practice they do on these man-made kayak courses.
25:38Watching that, I thought it was like a joke.
25:40I thought that was like one of those like Red Bull events.
25:46It was a Red Bull event.
25:49Yeah.
25:50I had to go to the Red Bull house to talk to her, but yeah, so I guess it just made
25:55the jump from Red Bull event to Olympic stage.
26:01The other thing that I saw that was a weird one.
26:04Fuck.
26:05What was it?
26:06Shit.
26:07I don't want to remember it.
26:08Anyway, that's another weird sport that, that they added that I was like, I didn't know
26:12we had this.
26:13We kayak girls caught me by surprise.
26:14I didn't realize that.
26:15And I flew under the radar.
26:16I love that.
26:17They're doing fights every year to remain in the Olympics.
26:19Like that's the third sport, sport, and they're just adding everything else.
26:25It's breaking has already been removed from the Los Angeles.
26:28No way.
26:29Yes.
26:30Yes.
26:31A couple will not be in the Brisbane games after the U.S.
26:34Oh, what we're trying to do is we're trying to add sports that are more regionally based
26:38for that country.
26:39Oh, cool.
26:40Add like, yeah.
26:41So that's why baseball and softball are back after.
26:42So today we're in Tokyo.
26:43They're not in France.
26:44We'll be back in the United States.
26:45Okay.
26:46The other one.
26:47There's one guy.
26:48Last thing that we got to go is Mondo Deplantis.
26:50He's the.
26:51Oh, my God.
26:52Yeah.
26:53Unbelievable for Sweden.
26:54Fucking Lafayette, Louisiana, though.
26:55And that's how I was.
26:56Could you imagine being just some random, like old person who doesn't have social media,
27:00doesn't really know the context.
27:01Watching NBC last night.
27:02They see this Swedish guy, the greatest pole vaulter of all time, a Mondo Deplantis.
27:05And then he comes on and he has like a small Cajun accent.
27:08Yeah.
27:09I'd be like, what the fuck?
27:11But he got overshadowed just by he had literally overshadowed by a pole vaulter with a big dick.
27:17Yeah, it's true.
27:18You think Minty's been to a widespread panic concert with Mondo Deplantis?
27:21Yes.
27:22Probably.
27:23Yeah.
27:24Check out Rita's cover in Chicago.
27:25Yeah.
27:26Yep.
27:27Donnie's still got stuff going on in Paris.
27:28Your live streams have been incredible.
27:30And they're.
27:31Tomorrow, I'm trying a live stream where I will swim in the Seine because.
27:36Oh, my God.
27:37Yeah.
27:38So I don't know how that is going to end, but it will be 9 a.m.
27:42Eastern time.
27:43It will start.
27:45For context, one of the triathlon competitors said they saw things in there they didn't
27:49want to speak about.
27:50That just meant condoms.
27:51I think that's a little.
27:52Yeah.
27:53Exaggeration.
27:54Yeah.
27:55I'm not worried about that as much as getting a serious fine from the Paris police.
28:00I mean.
28:01So what?
28:02Yeah.
28:03Rough and rowdy.
28:06Loser goes home match.
28:07Loser goes home, which I didn't know until a few days ago.
28:09That means I just didn't dawn on me that Mikey doesn't work here anymore if he loses.
28:13Yeah.
28:14I thought it was loser goes home.
28:15I thought it was like a tongue in cheek.
28:16Yeah.
28:17But you got it.
28:18You got to leave Wheeling, West Virginia.
28:19If you lose, you can't stay here.
28:20I don't know.
28:21He's going to lose his job.
28:22And then the Abel brothers can never fight again.
28:25Which just seems significantly less.
28:28What a raw end of the deal.
28:29Betts got.
28:30But I trust.
28:31I think that's going to.
28:32That's been training his ass off here in this office.
28:33I don't think you make that.
28:35I don't think you make that.
28:36You don't make that unless you're very.
28:37Yeah.
28:38Yeah.
28:39And I.
28:40But Abel brothers, they change their nicknames every time, every fight.
28:43But now he's.
28:44Is he fighting the light bringer right now?
28:45I forget.
28:46The light bearer.
28:47You're going to be there.
28:48I'll be there.
28:49Yeah.
28:50I.
28:51Someone might have said it to me, and I think I just might have laughed it off as like,
28:52oh, like he's like.
28:53Loser goes home.
28:54That's funny.
28:55So.
28:56But when I heard it like specific, I was like, oh, shit.
28:57Like he's going to lose.
28:58Like really would lose his job.
28:59Then Barstow Summer Games every day after the act here, two thirty to about five, three
29:03events per day.
29:04Titus, Jerry, Brandon are captains.
29:06Six people on a team.
29:07Nick and I will be hosting.
29:08Yeah.
29:09I need to be fun to be dumb.
29:10It's going to be fun.
29:11That's it.
29:12Yeah.
29:13Donnie.
29:14Good luck.
29:15Good luck.
29:16Watch Donnie's live stream.
29:17You have a second monitor.
29:18Just he has.
29:19It's third.
29:20They're long.
29:21And just you kind of get to be Donnie.
29:22That's I've been.
29:23If you're scared of flying.
29:24If you're scared of flying.
29:25You can go to Paris.
29:26And when I get back to Chicago, Nick's going to be doing a Pokemon go live stream on going
29:30together.
29:31Yeah.
29:32Love it.
29:33Yeah.
29:34We're going to go shiny hunting.
29:35I love it.
29:36Yeah.
29:37Thanks, everyone.
29:38We'll talk to you later.
29:39God bless.
29:41God bless.
