Starting point is 00:00:00 And we thank them for sponsoring the show. Well, no, I'll just go ahead. I mean, look, I'm money dumb. Y'all know that. I've been money dumb ever, since ever, my whole life. And the modern world makes it even harder to not be money dumb, in my opinion. Because used to, you, like, had to write down everything you spent or you wouldn't know nothing. But now you got apps and stuff on your phone.
Starting point is 00:00:19 It's just like you can just, it makes it easier to lose count of, well, your count, the count every month, how much you're spending. A lot of people don't even know how much they spend on a per month basis. I'm not going to lie. I can be one of those people. Like, let me ask you right now. Skewers out, whatnot, sorry, well-read people. People across the ske universe, I should say. Do you even know how many subscriptions that you actively pay for every month or every year?
Starting point is 00:00:41 Do you even know? Do you know how much you spend on takeout or delivery? Getting a paid chauffeur for your chicken low main? Because that's the thing that we do in this society. Do you know how much you spend on that? It's probably more than you think. But now there's an app designed to help you manage your money better. and it's called Rocket Money.
Starting point is 00:01:00 Rocket Money is a personal finance app that helps find and cancel your unwanted subscriptions, monitors your spending, and helps lower your bills so you can grow your savings. Rocket Money shows all your expenses in one place, including subscriptions you already forgot about. If you see a subscription, you don't want anymore, Rocket Money will help you cancel it.
Starting point is 00:01:18 Their dashboard lays out your whole financial picture, including the due dates for all your bills and the pay days. In a way that's easier for you to digest, you can even automatically create, custom budgets based on your past spending. Rocket Money's 5 million members have saved a total of $500 million in canceled subscription with members saving up to $740 a year when they use all of the apps. Premium features.
Starting point is 00:01:44 I used Rocket Money and realized that I had apparently been paying for two different language learning services that I just wasn't using. So I was probably like, I should know Spanish. I'll learn Spanish. and I've just been paying to learn Spanish without practicing any Spanish for, you know, pertinent two years now or something like that. Also, a fun one, I'd said it before,
Starting point is 00:02:06 but I got an app, lovely little app where you could, you know, put your friend's faces onto funny reaction gifts and stuff like that. So obviously I got it so I could put Corey's face on those two, those two like twins from the Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland movies. You know, those weren't a little like the Q-ball-looking twin fellas. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:27 So that was money. What was that a reply gift for? Just when I did something stupid. Something fat, I think, and stupid. Something both fat and stupid. But anyway, that was money well spent at first. But then I quit using it and was still paying for it and forgotten. If it wasn't for Rocket Money, I never would have even figured it out.
Starting point is 00:02:43 So shout out to them. They help. If you're money dumb like me, Rocket Money can help.

Starting point is 00:04:07 Maybe yeah Disappointed Yeah I say you leave all that in And just fix whatever you've messed Or you know Clarify what I am
Starting point is 00:04:16 Also I don't know why there's a QR code Up here that says donate But don't do that because I don't know what the fuck that is. I mean, you're the one that had to have done that. Well, I hear you, but I didn't mean to. So, anyways, here we are.
Starting point is 00:04:33 What are you going to do? You're going to redo it? No. No. All he was trying to say was that Hello Fresh is America's number one meal kit. And that is true, by the way. I've been with Hello Fresh for a long time, and I'm excited
Starting point is 00:04:50 about this promotion. I'm going to try get it hooked up on my own subscription. Same. My own subscription that's been going for like seven years straight now or something like that. That's how hard Hello Fresh hits for me. Well, let me add to it. I've moved to bumfuck land even further out than where Corey's living. And buddy, they get it to me and it's still Hello Fresh.
Starting point is 00:05:11 This is funny too because this is how my brain works. I didn't realize that they were doing a new initiative with like kids meals or whatever. And when we got our package, Amber's like, there's a kids mill in here. She's like, why? And I was like, oh, it's just they know I've got a kid now. And I hit for them. So they sent that to me. But it's a part of a whole thing.
Starting point is 00:05:29 So I don't hit. I mean, I do hit, but not any different. It was good, too. It was a cheese and corn cassidia. That is like, do you guys remember Lassau? Ted Lassow? Yeah. There's that part where you guys watch it.
Starting point is 00:05:46 Did you guys both watch? Ted Lasson? Yeah, hell yeah. I've never heard anybody say, hey, you remember Lassow? I know. I remember when he was like a Cowboy show or something, but do you remember when he was talking to Jamie?
Starting point is 00:05:59 Yeah. And Jamie says something like what you just said. It sounds completely insane. He was up. People just keep me fins. Yeah. And I don't know. And he goes,
Starting point is 00:06:08 and I just assume it's, you know, because they like me and I make him feel good. And last they goes, that is shockingly healthy. Yeah. Like every time you start down that path of something like that, my brain's like,
Starting point is 00:06:20 what the fuck is wrong? with him and then I go, no, it's me. It's me that has something wrong with him. Cori's just going through life going, well, something good happens. I assume it's because I'm good. And I'm going, why is he like that? Well, he's like that. They just never, I'd never seen a kid's thing before. And then I thought they were just like, oh, he got baby now. I would have figured it out because I would have been like, well, there's no way it's because I hit. Yeah. So there's some other reason. No, I'm the opposite. I'm like, because this corporation wants me to pedal this product. Right. Hold on now.
Starting point is 00:06:52 I just because I hit. Do you, do you, well, is this a, you get a, you get a box every week anyway and then all a sudden your normal box had a kids thing in it? Not a separate box. No, it was a separate box. It was a separate box from them, yeah. But I do be getting it every week. I didn't even get this separate promotional box.
Starting point is 00:07:10 I didn't either. That's also very right. I assume that's just automatically send it to him and we don't even get asked. Like, nor does he get asked. It just shows up at his house. Yeah, but I bet this because he was on a call we weren't on or he filled out of thing. Because there's been plenty of times where I haven't checked my email for a few days. And Corey's had a back and forth with one of our people from like seven emails.
Starting point is 00:07:32 And I just don't read it. I'm like clearly the last email says, thank you. We did it, whatever we were. Yeah, right. And so he deserves the box. You know what I mean for doing that? Okay. So it is because I hit.
Starting point is 00:07:44 No, he doesn't do that. I know the only call he was on that we wasn't on in a have nothing to do with this. And I always fill out the forms. So no, you're wrong. It's just, this is the universe shining on him the way that I always does. Or it's shitting on you. I'm out because I didn't fill it out. And then you're out because I didn't get in.
Starting point is 00:08:03 I never miss filling out a form. I don't remember having an opportunity to fill this one out. I'm saying I'm out because I didn't do it. And you're out because the universe is shitting on you. Yes. I'm in, baby. Coming up, Joe. And he's in.
Starting point is 00:08:18 Right. He's neutral. Switzerland, baby. Speaking of which, USA, USA, USA. We did it. I think I told you guys this. I watched that basketball gold medal game at a bar. Everyone was watching it.
Starting point is 00:08:32 Everyone was engaged. We were like 120 people there. People were cheering. People had on USA stuff. It wasn't like the middle of Oakland. This was in Nashville. And once we won or it was clear we were winning, someone tried to start that chant.
Starting point is 00:08:44 And like seven out of 120 people joined, and it faded immediately. and a guy goes, eh, fuck that. That's funny. My dad had a very self-aware moment when we were talking about it. And dad was like super into it. Like dad's super into like, you know, dude, my dad was fucking 28 or 29 when the dream team was a thing. Like he's men's Olympic basketball has always been his shit.
Starting point is 00:09:10 And he was super pumped about it. And like, he was talking about like, you know, LeBron this and Steph Curry this and blah, blah, blah, blah. and dad was dad goes you know what's funny though is like people like me next week we're going to go right back to haiton it's like we're going to go right back to hating but right now i swear to god he's like we're going to go right back to hate and lebron and i was like yeah and he goes but not right now dude not right now i think it's reverse for some progressives with america yeah it acts absolutely is i mean not me i've all america always hits for me just and and lebron but it's for me but it's for me but I'm here for me.
Starting point is 00:09:47 But yeah, but yeah, no, you're right about that. It's like, I saw a bunch of TikToks and videos and stuff for people pointing that out. But it's like me,
Starting point is 00:09:55 you know, every other year or whatever, and then they're sitting there like, this country fucking sucks. We can't even get a health care of reality without just bitching about all the things that don't hit about America. And it's like me every four years.
Starting point is 00:10:08 And then they're like dressed up like Uncle Sam fucking shooting off fireworks, getting fired up. So I mean, yeah, that is a thing. But I'm, see where our athletes were staying over in an attempt to get health care for free because you get it for free.
Starting point is 00:10:21 I saw them. Yeah, they were taking advantage of that. But I don't at all hate Steph Curry, but like, I've never, I've never rooted for Steph Curry before because. Lightskin. Because I'm a Grizzlies fan. And, you know, the last real shot we had. was right as they were ascending and we ran into got you know ran into that freight train and that was the last time we had any kind of real shot and they but i hate it court warner because of that
Starting point is 00:10:56 but they've beaten the grizzlies plenty yeah well i'm saying like i'm a fan of a western conference team they've dominated the western conference i've been over the and i know the warriors that's over their dynasty is over now which hits but i've been over that shit for a long time uh and they never hit for me because again i like the grizzlies so i never like the grizzlies so i never liked that they hit so hard. But I always, like, respected and acknowledged how great Steph Curry was, though. Like, so it wasn't like, that's what I mean.
Starting point is 00:11:28 I never hated Steph Curry. I was just always like, God damn, this motherfucker again. And it was, but it was, like, nice to, you know, be on the other side of that. It was nice to, like, just to be able to, like, be fully into him doing what he always does, because I've never really gotten to experience that before. So. Well, he's had some down years with the,
Starting point is 00:11:45 Warriors and I'm a big NBA fan so I've gotten to see that and I experienced exactly what you're talking about but but not this isn't the first time but like in the last two or three years just watching him in the playoffs like in the play in games or in a series I know he's going to lose do the same exact thing it's incredible and dude I got emotional genuinely just because I love basketball so much during that gold medal game and he went off it was unbelievable it was don't believe what they were all doing. Durant, LeBron, it was unreal. It's cool that the KD clips were fucking
Starting point is 00:12:22 phenomenal. He popped off as well. It was really cool because it's like, it's this like last, you know, the guys that have personified the last 20 years of NBA basketball, this is like they're all together for one last ride type of thing, which is
Starting point is 00:12:38 super rad, but then also it's like, it's also like they're not just, they you know and have that going on but like they were the ones carrying the team the whole time you know it was really like some avengers shit and we lost before that people forget that because like our best players didn't want to play and the program had fallen apart and there was a changing of the garb with Olympic basketball and eventually Shashefsky and then Kerr like took it over and then LeBron and Katie also like we're like all right and D. Wade so like
Starting point is 00:13:14 it's what you just explained, but also for people who don't have the long memory or don't care, we haven't always won. There was a time where we got beat five. Five Olympics ago. Yeah, I think 2004 is the only time that we... But we lost a lot of world championship games. Yes, that's true.
Starting point is 00:13:33 Also, wasn't Kauai supposed to play and the Clippers didn't want him to? Well, he's not fully healthy, so there's a lot of debate about, like the Clippers point was like you didn't even finish the year. Are you sure you're ready now? And then Kerr said it was for health reasons, but I think Kerr was like, I'm not going to get into this. With the Clippers, with Kauai, it's just not worth it. I'll just put Derek White on the team.
Starting point is 00:13:59 He can guard anybody. Now they didn't put Brown on the team, and that was a big deal. They put White on the team instead of Jalen Brown. Jeline Brown was the MVP of the finals. Derek White's one of his teammates, and they chose Derek White. well you know you need a glue guy you know you're a role player you didn't even play yeah i know but well then jalen brown might not have ever really gotten to play either but that might have been a bigger deal for him you know what i mean it was a big deal for tatum that didn't dare play a lot
Starting point is 00:14:26 yeah right i think it's because he runs his life he ain't gonna say shit i think it's because he runs his mouth i think it's because jaylon brown is a very opinionated intelligent man and you know have that no but i want to dissect that story you told a little bit bit more, though, and do some hypothesizing about the fucking sports bar in Nashville, because, like, I feel like there's a couple different ways. You know, I've been to sports
Starting point is 00:14:50 bars during the World Cup, and this country don't give a fuck about soccer. And I've been to sports bars during the World Cup in Knoxville, in Los Angeles, probably a couple other places. New York that gave a fuck. And, like, well, no, no, no. I'm saying, America don't give a fuck about soccer.
Starting point is 00:15:07 I've been at sports bars during the World Cup, and it's insane. Everyone's wearing red, white, and blue, chanting, singing, screaming, loving it the whole time. And they did that in Knoxville. They did that in L.A. Despite the fact that this country don't even. I mean, L.A. fucks with soccer. But like.
Starting point is 00:15:24 Alexie, baby. So I find that odd what you said. But do you think it's because it's like, you think part of it is like a, well, you know, guys, I mean, we're supposed to wreck everybody's shit in this one. So, like, getting, get. too fired up about it seems kind of satin, you're amateurish or something, because it's like, you know, well, yeah, it would have been a shame if we didn't
Starting point is 00:15:51 beat the French, you know, but, but beating the French, that's no reason to lose your minds is what they did what they're supposed to do. It was fun, but we don't, it's like, is it that or is it America don't hit anymore? No, I don't think it's, I don't think it's the latter. I think it's what you said and then, and then also just like, it just felt lame. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:16:08 Maybe it was like, maybe it was a subconscious thing. whoever started the chant looked lame. Like the guy who said, fuck that. That would be so funny. How'd that's what it was. It just came down to the guy who did. Like the whole crowd was like,
Starting point is 00:16:23 looks at you or ever, it's like, no, we ain't doing this. It was a cool guy, maybe we'd do this. But the guy who said, fuck that hat on a USA hat.
Starting point is 00:16:32 So it wasn't like a, um, it was just like, it just, it was like we all, maybe for completely different reasons. you know, we're like, nah, we're not doing that. Maybe we were all too old.
Starting point is 00:16:45 It was a Titans preseason game at a Titans bar that was not on yet, but about to be on. A lot of people were, if we were close enough to the stadium, a lot of people were going to go to the game. I think people were just like, it's like you don't storm the court. For a few people, I think it was like, you don't storm the court when you're supposed to win. Yeah, I was thinking, though, about, you know, when they said, This is the, you know, for the fifth time in a row, the U.S. men's have won the Olympic basketball. And I was like, fifth time in a row.
Starting point is 00:17:17 And I started doing the math. I was like, when the fuck did we get beat? And then I was starting to think about how like, in my brain, like you said, it is just like, to me it's like, all right, men's Olympic basketball is a foregone conclusion. We just got to kind of go through this rigum roll to ultimately hand the championship to the United States. However, with the European invasion as it were, and like, I was. Remember, I heard meta, I think it was meta world peace. I mean, if. Gilbert Arenas, I know what you're going to say.
Starting point is 00:17:45 Oh, Gilbert Aranus. Yeah, Gilbert Aranis, they were interviewing him and they were talking about how to make basketball better and he was like, get these fucking Europeans out here, basically was what he was saying. Well, he pointed out as they don't know how to play defense for them. Yeah, they changed the rules for them because over there, they don't play defense as much or whatever. But I was thinking about that.
Starting point is 00:18:04 But there are so many of them that hit so hard, like so many of, because I'm not a fan of any one team. I enjoy just watching players, especially the ones that y'all be putting in the thread or whatever. And like, so many of my favorite players from this year are not American. Like, we're talking about Luca. We're talking, you know, no, it don't hit
Starting point is 00:18:22 when it comes to Olympic time, because I'm thinking like 2008, like, yeah, it's not in any way going to be a foregone conclusion. Well, yeah, I mean, Mark, who's probably, you know, Mark, about to say, Mark, you know, he's smart Mark and he's like a, he's like a
Starting point is 00:18:36 basketball fanatic. And, you know, he said the other day in 28, it's, you know, very possible that France will be like the odds on Vegas favorite to win because, you know, because Wimby is a freak of nature and all that. And they got all the, but also as far as the whole like, oh, he is France. Yeah. But all these like, oh, their rules, whatever arena said, but they don't hit. I'm basketball dumb.
Starting point is 00:18:58 I just, I just, I know that ball going hoop that mean points and it hits for me. It hits me the stuff they can do. I don't understand the ends and outs of basketball. basketball, but for my ignorant, dumb perspective, they were playing by FBA rules right in this tournament. It seemed way better to me. So that's actually why the NBA changed. It's not like, I'm not saying the powers that be weren't like, damn, we're going to make millions upon millions and more dollars if we get more international superstars. I'm sure that was, these are very smart people.
Starting point is 00:19:34 I'm sure that was part of the meeting. but the real reason that it changed that Gilbert left out is it's a prettier game. Remember how many points the NBA games used to have back when we were growing up? 120, 130. No, that's now. Back then it was like 92 to 9. Oh, yeah, you're right, you're right. The international games in the 90s was like, you know.
Starting point is 00:19:54 And that was an international game plan. Fundamental and everybody to death, you know. Right, but then Spurs in the 2000s ushered in. Yeah, they had Tony Parker, Mono, Genoble, and all them. Yes, that's right. Yeah. And even Tim Duncan, who's an American, but he's from Portland. Like, they're from the Virgin Islands.
Starting point is 00:20:11 Yeah. An international game. So what was happening is as fans started to watch more international games, the NBA, how it was a Bauer. It's kind of just, just boring the whole time, though. Do you know what I mean? And I say that as I grew up a Spurs fan, I think, just because they were black and white, like the Raiders were.
Starting point is 00:20:27 And I was like, this would be my thing. So when I was a kid, I was a Spurs fan. So I loved the Spurs, but, like, they've always been both that 90s version of them with the Admiral David Robinson when they were like they made the playoffs every year but they never got nowhere and then the post Tim Duncan version when they got all these European guys and stuff and they became a dynasty every iteration of them like they didn't hit for people really not just because they were winning it was just like people just boring yeah they were just boring and people did maybe it's because they didn't have Americans
Starting point is 00:20:57 and it's because of Popovich and Duncan in my opinion yeah all of it's personal baby They used their brain on you to death. And the way Duncan played wasn't very exciting. Even as a part of like the driving kick-it movement that they ushered in, the way Duncan played wasn't very excited, but he was so good at it that he was. I mean, Tim Duncan is kind of underrated,
Starting point is 00:21:23 partially probably because he's boring. He's like maybe the greatest power forward of all time, right? Yeah, but I would argue that he belongs in the top five and definitely in the top ten conversations. and sometimes he ekes into a top 10 conversation. He never ekes into a top five conversation, but he was so utterly dominant on both ends. But it's like a Popovich thing.
Starting point is 00:21:41 He's so brilliant, it takes away. But real quick, just to finish up, I just wanted to say that, like, fans were watching these international games because of the Olympics, because of recruiting, because they wanted to go see about this kid, Ricky Rubio in Spain, and they were going, this is way more fun.
Starting point is 00:21:56 Yeah. Why are we not playing like that over here? And what they learned was a few different things. One is a lot of our players did. know how because the way U.S. basketball had been for so long teaching one-on-one isolationism, Kobe was the height of trying to copy Jordan, but everybody who failed to reach Kobe's level sucked. They could put up 40, but they'd lose the game. But then, too, the way you were allowed to play defense in the NBA, if those international
Starting point is 00:22:21 teams came over and played us, we'd hound them. All that movement and bullshit. I mean, Steve Curry's career, he's gotten stronger because he had to. but like Steph Curry would not have had the same career that he has now playing in Jordan's era because they would have beat him to death. Right. Bron on the other hand would have been even more dominant because he's also stronger than everyone. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:43 Probably being great. Right. They would have been trying to beat him to death, but he would have just. Well, and Mark said that Kevin Durant was the best international player probably of all time. And I think that's a fair statement. It's definitely him or Carmelo. Both of those guys aren't as good in the league as they are in Fibber Rules because you can body them up because it's still a little bit the old NBA.
Starting point is 00:23:05 It's still not Feeba rules in the NBA. It's just that we're going more of that to allow players to be like these honestly it's like all these six foot 10 shooters. They can't bang. So let's make it to where they don't have to. Right. Yeah, no. What I'm hearing is the league's gotten pussy-fied just like football.
Starting point is 00:23:28 It is wild. But it's led the way more pull. points in both that. That's true in football too, though. They, you know what I mean? They've done that in favoring the offense or whatever, but, you know, let them play. God damn. But, like, it is wild to see in basketball, like, as someone who casually, casually watches,
Starting point is 00:23:45 like I watch the playoffs, and especially when y'all are getting heated about it. And I say I don't have a team. I told Mark that I would be a Mabbs fan just to latch on to something. When they started hitting, yeah. Well, just because I wanted to hate when Mark had. hated. No one hates like Mark, you know what I mean, on his team? And I was like, I'm interested in that type of hate. But really, I don't have a fan of a team. I'm just a fan of players. But the thing that's been crazy to me to watch in the difference in when I was a kid versus now is like, every now and then you just see a dude who's seven foot pull up for a 40 foot three pointer. And it's like makes sense. And you're like, what the fuck is like I remember the first time I saw it. I had not watched basketball for a while. And I was like, well, there's no what, holy shit, look at that. Like, you would have never seen that shit.
Starting point is 00:24:36 Yeah. Yeah, man, it's math is what led to that. That don't hit. No, mice don't hit everybody. They're like, if you can make a certain percentage of those, that's a better shot. Right. So a couple of other things about the Olympics more broadly, right? First of all, kind of we were talking about earlier, you know, I was like, no, I like America all the time.
Starting point is 00:24:56 One thing I was thinking of watching the Olympics, like, you know, it's like a, a cliche at this point over the past X number of years or whatever people like some people say America you know greatest country on earth and other people go like right yes that's that's implied
Starting point is 00:25:14 and other people go what are you out of your fucking mind in what way here's all the ways in which we do not hit right and you know that even fucking you know Aaron Sorkin got in the newsroom the newsroom which most people hated that show I didn't it was very sorkingy but it but what
Starting point is 00:25:30 but most people hated that show, but that one clip of Jeff Daniels' character, who's a conservative nominally in that show. He's an Aaron Sorkin conservative. Right, yeah, exactly. So he's like, you know, exceedingly reasonable. Right, yeah, exactly. Yeah, he's fully fictional.
Starting point is 00:25:46 But anyway, he's a conservative in that show, and he's the one that goes in this whole thing. He'd like, name it's like, we're 27th in this, or 32nd in this, or whatever else. And I just know all these numbers right off the top of the head. Don't worry about it. I don't worry about it. I don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
Starting point is 00:26:00 right and again it went viral everybody loved it hit for me too but i'm watching the olympics and i'm thinking like okay look what do we mean when we say great right maybe if you say is america the best country on earth or the best country to live in right no norway probably sweden i guess one of them other one of them hurt to dirt two places but when you say when you say germany when you say great though my greatest country on earth yeah I kind of think that America is the greatest country on Earth. When you combine like military greatness and dominance with athletic greatness and dominance and the wealth and power in the woods. Right.
Starting point is 00:26:42 Wealth and power and all that. And it's like I don't know exactly how you want to define greatness, but I feel like I think we do be the greatest country. Because great and good aren't the same thing. But we're not the best. We're not the best or the happiest or the hitness or whatever. But greatest, like when you say this man is a great. man, this country's a great country. I think we are the greatest country
Starting point is 00:27:04 on Earth. Without question. I think that's a fair argument, but I don't think that's what people think you mean when you say it. Do you feel like when people say, we're the goddamn greatest country on Earth, what they mean is like this nuanced, well-laid-out thing that you're saying? Or do you think that those people think... I don't even think it's really...
Starting point is 00:27:20 I'm just saying we just kick everybody's ass. Most of those people... Most of those people, because they live on my block and they've got to make America great again signs. Most of those people when they say America is the greatest country on earth. What they literally mean is in their brain, every other country,
Starting point is 00:27:36 we're the only ones that have freedom. They really do believe that we're the only ones that have freedom. Which that's insane. I know, but I know it's insane. They really do believe that. They'll be like, England don't have freedom. We got freedom. I want to raise a question related to that with England.
Starting point is 00:27:54 Greatest current or all time, your opinion? Oh, all time. It's got to be great. Probably. That's got me the Romans, right? Either the Romans or the British Empire, I think, would have to. I don't know, maybe Gankis Khan and them. But you've got to give it, but if you're going between Romans and British Empire,
Starting point is 00:28:10 British Empire, British Empire still out here doing it. You know what I mean? China's been around throughout everything we just do. China gets ignored. They do. And that's how good they are. Yeah, right. Yeah, they've also, I mean, you know, they don't talk to it.
Starting point is 00:28:22 We're also catching us, though, by your metric for the record. They are. Absolutely, they are. There's no doubt about that. They're, like, definitely nipping on our heels for sure. But as you pointed out, it's like, you know, even when you talk about the metal count, that's another thing that's been annoying me,
Starting point is 00:28:33 but I'm whatever. I know this is just, it's semantics. No, run to tell that. But the whole, like, generally speaking,
Starting point is 00:28:39 for what I've seen, news outlets, they cover the metal count only one of two ways. It's either by gold medal count, meaning whoever's got the most gold is at the top, and that's how they, you know,
Starting point is 00:28:52 keep up with it. Or it's by total metal count, gold, silver, bronze is combined, right? One of those two, and people, argue about those two, but I think there's a very simple and obvious way to get around that.
Starting point is 00:29:06 So we finished tied, dead even with China in golds, 40 to 40, right? So if you're counting, if you're doing the gold medal count, it's like, well, we tied. Us and China tied for first. But we had 35 more silver and bronzes than they did. And I don't care how you look at it. That means we win. Not only do we win, it wasn't. particularly close, right? However, on the other hand, Great Britain had 65 total medals and France had 64. That would put Great Britain above them if you're going by totals. However, France had two or three more golds than Great Britain did. So they went. So in that case, I think France deserves to be above them. Couldn't agree more. So I'm saying all you got to do is just make it a point system where
Starting point is 00:29:56 just for an example, golds are worth five, silver's are worth two or three, however you want to do it, and bronzes are worth one. I can get the argument for silvers being two if you're like, no, gold should be worth that much more. Yeah, okay. But whatever, either way,
Starting point is 00:30:10 just give them a point value, tally up the points, and then that's how you keep the order of who's winning at the end of the Olympics is whoever's leading in points, and it just seems to me like that. What's the argument against that? Like, why don't they just do that? I don't understand it.
Starting point is 00:30:24 run the clip back of Trey saying math don't hit about 48 seconds. I know. I said he knew I was about to do this because I texted all this stuff y'all the other day. And I said, I tried not to do this. I did. Show that fucking clip.
Starting point is 00:30:39 Show that clip. Show that clip of me saying. Show that clip of me saying, you know what? No, that ain't going to hit for nobody. And then Corey goes, no,
Starting point is 00:30:47 do it, do it. Just so you know, I can't do any of it. Oh, I know. Okay. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:30:53 but still, anyway. wish I could so bad. You thought I thought that you could pull that up from... I know this is hitting for Joe, because again, he's one of told me to do this, and now, so he's just getting to just reveling this. I didn't, but I didn't see this part coming. I wasn't thinking about this.
Starting point is 00:31:07 Well, I just brought up math as the only counter argument that exists. Yeah, I just enjoy... Math is boring or whatever. I mean, I think they're both... I think the ways they do it are both valid. I also think Karen beyond while it's happening, and then maybe for like a few days because we're still talking about the Olympics. Like next month, I won't give a shit.
Starting point is 00:31:27 No, maybe. No, definitely. Yeah, I know you guys won't. So it's just like, it's just like a fun thing to do. The only thing I will say that was I think we tied in gold because they took one of ours. Well, when you get into that, there's a ton of, so I'll give you a couple other examples right now. We had a high jumper from Mississippi. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:45 With his dick. Who was tied? No, no, no. That's a pole. They took his silver? No, no, no. But he was tied with the guy from New Zealand. they could have both gotten a gold.
Starting point is 00:31:55 And they said run it. But they kept jumping, which I respect. You should give someone from Mississippi copper so he can actually do something with it when it gets home. But they kept jumping. They did. That is what they did. And the Kiwi won, so we got a silver there. But the Polvalter, not the big-dicked Polvalter, by the way.
Starting point is 00:32:15 The little-dicked Pol-Walter. Yeah. His name's Mondo something. He's the goat. apparently he's no he's the best pole vaulter that's ever lived and apparently it ain't close he owns 19 of the 20 best pole vaults of all time he breaks his own records all the time nobody else can even touch him i saw him all cheering for him which that's like that's how you know he's great people like his rivals were cheering for him he's swedish right he he he poll vaults for sweden and his name sounds sweet it's like mando du plantes or some shit like that right but that motherfucker born and raised in Louisiana. He's from the south. Yeah, lived his whole life. And it's like,
Starting point is 00:32:57 his mama is sweetish. She, you know, she meatballs, right? But he gumbo, right? But anyway. She meatballs. He gumbo. Yeah. Yeah, but anyway, I just get the argument of like,
Starting point is 00:33:13 let's say you are like a D1 college basketball player and you're pretty good, but and your mama is German, right? You can't sniff Team USA. Oh, got no, fuck anyone. You're a role player in the NBA, right? You never going to make Team USA, but maybe you could make Germany's roster and your mama's Germans, you have citizenship.
Starting point is 00:33:32 Like, I understand. The Wagner brothers do that literal thing. I totally get that, but Mondo here is the go. He's the best of all time. Like, no one's pushing him off of Team USA, so I don't get why he's Polvaulting for, I guess they just head harder than him for him. No, hit.
Starting point is 00:33:49 Maybe he wasn't that good. and any, like, improved? I don't know, but anyway. Can you come back? If he, if he Polvaulted for America, that's at least one. If not, I don't know how many, I don't know how many golds of Paul Volta.
Starting point is 00:34:00 Do you think it should count? At least one. For us, do you think we should get a half point? Yeah, no, hold on. Sure. Why not? Yeah. My only counter to that is,
Starting point is 00:34:08 how far back do we go? Because all our black people, we're giving away a lot of medals. Africa is the biggest goal. Yeah, right. Yeah. No, but that's, opposite of what I'm saying. I'm saying he
Starting point is 00:34:22 he's from here, like wherever his parents are from, where his people are meatballs, but he gumbo. He gumbo. I get that. Meatball gumbo. But even gumbo, we have because of France. The transatlantic slave
Starting point is 00:34:38 industry. I'm just saying like, yeah, but bro. You got to let people you got let people povolve off who they want to povote for it. No, not if they hit real hard. That's, then they're us. Yeah. The FBI should force him to Polvalp for us. No, I'm, I'm, I'm just saying that's another, that's another lost goal we could have had. But, but when you get in splitting these hairs, we had some big, like, we had a white,
Starting point is 00:35:00 boy. We must have kicked everybody's ass. We had a white boy. I don't know if we did. I mean, I think it was tight with China. Even though he had 17? Yeah, well, he didn't, I mean, he, how many Olympics he do? Three or four? Yeah. And he spread out. One year, he won like nine by himself. I think it was nine in one year. I'm pretty sure. team events, but yes. But also, that's the other thing, too, people bring up a lot. It's like there's a million different swimming events and there's one basketball. You know, well, there's two now.
Starting point is 00:35:28 There's three. But even then, the same players can't play both of the two basketball things. So it's like, we win the three on three? No. No, we got smoke, dude. Right, because we hit it real basketball. Not getting to spend our best, bro. If we could, if they got it set up to where those ones, you have to play in three-on-three
Starting point is 00:35:44 tournaments that qualify, like, for a while before you can be on the actual team. just let hitting basketball players who are not on team USA play on the three on three team like someone some of them and one motherfuckers we would have smoked not even that i just mean other guys they could have done yeah right what trace saying is NBA players are too busy to qualify for the three on three time that's why none of them are on right yeah because of the way the rules work but anyway we had that we had a white boy who won the 1500 that was not supposed to not even supposed to be in it so that's a goal you know what i mean it's like you start splitting hairs like how how how close it was.
Starting point is 00:36:20 There's some that would, if we did it again, we probably wouldn't have those. And then there's others if we did it again. We would have those. So, you know, we still had. But I fucking loved these Olympics
Starting point is 00:36:30 if people can't tell. I got very, very, very into them. I've always liked the Summer Olympics, but these really hit for me. Last Olympics thing, then we can move on. We'll get to it. Right after this,
Starting point is 00:36:41 this word from our sponsor, you guys, we already talked about them up top, how hard they hit for us. Hello, Fresh. Like I said, I've been a, I've been a loyal,
Starting point is 00:36:49 subscriber to Hello Fresh for, I mean, I mean, literally before I moved to Los Angeles, which was seven plus years ago. I started when I was still in Tennessee. Ain't missed a box. I don't believe. That's how hard they hit for me. If you don't know what Hello Fresh is, I'll explain it to you. They send you all the ingredients you need to make meals that hit for you and your family. So it takes all the stress out of cooking, right? From the planning, shopping and prepping to actually getting everyone to enjoy what you made.

Starting point is 00:37:35 formulate their own hits as they see fit which is again good when you got picky kids in the house you don't have to make multiple dinners to satisfy everybody anymore just one meal with many different ways to enjoy they've got a massive menu of over 50 recipes that you could choose from each week. Whatever you're into, I guarantee you they got it each and every week on Hello Fresh. You can customize these meals. You can get them with or without protein. You can swap out vegetables. You can pick the right combos for each of your week's deliveries. And like I said, I've been doing Hello Fresh for a long time and it hits for me incredibly hard of some of my favorite recipes. I like, they got this
Starting point is 00:38:11 like lasagna, but it's Mexican, Mexican lasagna, beef and where the noodles is tortillas and the the sauce is Mexican beef and bean stuff. That's been a recent favorite of mine, but I like to do the steak stuff, the fish mess. They got Barramundi. Bolley balls or fire. Yes, Baramundi, Chow, the hot new fish.
Starting point is 00:38:28 Hot new fish. The hot new fish, that's right. You can watch what you're eating better when you got Hello Fresh, because they've got all the information you need right in front of you. It makes cooking enjoyable. It might you can get something that you would never think, some kind of wild, again, Baramundi dish with a Thai curry sauce that I would never think to make a million years on my own,
Starting point is 00:38:47 but now I'm making it and I feel like I hit even harder, all right? Yeah, that's my favorite thing, too, about Hello Fresh that a lot of people don't talk about is like it teaches you things. Like, I would have never known how hard lemon zest hits on just about everything until Hello Fresh was like, hey, zest this lemon, you know? And also, I've been getting the same favorites for years. And sometimes I don't even look at the directions. I'm just like, thank you so much for sending me these wonderful ingredients that I will not have to
Starting point is 00:39:15 waste. and now I'm going there and just kind of make it hit on my own. You know what I'm saying? Yes. You'd be messing with Hello Fresh. What's your favorite? Man, I got too many for my favorite. Well, no, it's that, I don't know any of the names,
Starting point is 00:39:29 but it's that it's like a chicken pasta with the pink. It's got the red and the cream. Yeah, with the Rigatoni noodles or whatever. What I like about it is I don't let, I don't let Andy know that's what it is. So I'd just be throwing down Baramundi or whatever it is in front of Andy. And she's like, okay. Well, they are... How'd you learn this?

The thing I was going to say about, the other thing I was going to bring up about the Olympics because the whole world's talking about it. I just wanted to see what y'all thought about Raygun. Raygun, the breakdancing.
Starting point is 00:40:31 The professor of breaking from Australia University or wherever the hell it is. But yeah, she literally got a PhD in breakdancing, walked out there dressed like a, I don't know, a tennis coach or something. What was she, or like a fast food employee crossed with it. From the 90s, yeah. From the 90s, yeah. And did her own thing.
Starting point is 00:40:53 Did it almost like a stand-up routine, if you ask me. It did very much seem like a character in a sketch or something. Dude, it was so wide. Some of people were like, there was a lot of people being like, there's just no way that this, they're like, this has to be some kind of statement she's making, she's trolling or something. It's like, no one, you can't get to the Olympics. and be this way, right? I've seen videos of her dancing better,
Starting point is 00:41:19 so some people think she was either injured and then just went out anyway or on ketamine. Or was like, you know what? This will give me a bigger name for my... No one's going to give a shit who wins. Yeah, whatever. The other thing about qualifying, though, is apparently there were plenty of people ranked higher than her in Australia
Starting point is 00:41:36 who couldn't afford to go to the qualifying. Right. I've read a million different things about the qualifying, and then I've seen other people discrequent. credit some of those things. Like I've seen, I've seen, well, I don't know what is and isn't true.
Starting point is 00:41:51 Like, I've seen people say, like she, you know, duped them into paying for it herself. I've heard people say what you just said. I've heard people say that her husband was a judge on the board of breakdancing. And then I've seen people say like, that's not true. Here's the list of the judges of the board of breakd dancing.
Starting point is 00:42:07 And he's not in there. Yeah, whatever. I do think, I want to do clarify, I think she has a PhD in cultural something, So it's not, she studies hip-hop. She studies breakdance. That's true, but her PhD, like her dissertation, her, whatever,
Starting point is 00:42:23 her dissertation, or specialty, all that shit, was on breakdancing specifically. Really? Yeah, I saw her synopsis, and it was, it was wild, dude. It was about, like, the inherent dichotomy of the night and how breakdancing embodies that or something. You know, it's all a bunch of, like, academic, you know, my legalese, being academia is the same way. People just talk out their ass.
Starting point is 00:42:47 I used to excel at that, by the way. You still do. Oh, yeah. You're no slouch. I'll sell yourself short. That used to be, you know, I used to always said, like I got hit at school. That was one of the ways I hit at school was that shit. That saying, using a million words to say nothing.
Starting point is 00:43:03 What am I doing? I'm doing it right now. You're doing it right now. Like you said, it's like I don't, I'm acting like I haven't built a career. I'm still doing that. How do you feel about this? They say that L.A.'s cancel breakdance. And some people say,
Starting point is 00:43:13 Well, I guess they did, but I guess technically they did cancel it, but that decision was made before these Olympics even started. So it's not a result of her. Some people are saying it's her fault. So it was one and done, like breakdancing was one and done at the Olympics. So I think the way it works is that there's like, these numbers are wrong. But let's say these are the numbers. LA gets the Olympics, they have to put on 100 events.
Starting point is 00:43:39 And then there's, well, they had to put on 120. And the 100 of them are the same every time. These aren't the right numbers again. But then of the 20 left over, L.A. picks among these 50. I think they pick. I'm pretty sure each host city country picks five things. Why did France got breakdancing, but we didn't? Correct.
Starting point is 00:44:00 A lot of people have pointed that out. But the way, so like- French love hip-hop. They apparently the rosters of sports, whatever. The rosters have signed to do this? Did you make it? Got decided for these two Olympics at the same time. One, one popping lock.
Starting point is 00:44:13 I can see them dominating. It is wild. Were they even in it? You know, you'd think they would have been. They do that different kind of dancing. It ain't breakdancing. It's called warehouse. Warehouse?
Starting point is 00:44:26 No, that ain't it. Werewolf? Well, here's the thing with breakdancing. I saw a lot of people having a myriad of opinions on it, like how can this be an Olympic sport or whatever? And I actually did a slight deep dive on it on this week's three clicks and a heck, which you can find over at we lovecori.com. but my thing was like, okay, how though is, you know, we've talked about this a bunch.
Starting point is 00:44:49 Any of the events where it's not objective, it's like subjective, where judges are involved? I sort of, I sort of have always kind of had a problem with it. But like, if you're talking about like, oh, breakdancing shouldn't be in the Olympics, then I kind of think you have to have the same issue with like floor gymnastics. Absolutely. It's all performative art. Like, what's the difference? There isn't much of one.
Starting point is 00:45:10 They both take a lot of athleticism. It's not, I mean. There is a history of standards of competition that might be longer, but I could buy an argument that that's, that if you start to make that, you're going to come across as classist or racist. Right. That's what I was thinking.
Starting point is 00:45:25 But then the most popular one was an Australian bitch with a doctorate. So they, well, a bunch of things. I want to go back to what Corey said to me because it's a good point, I think. And other people pointed out too about how like, she kind of in a way hit harder than anybody, didn't she?
Starting point is 00:45:39 But anyway, like, Just like the Turkish guy. But to answer the question, they decide years and years in advance what those five sports are going to be. And Paris had already picked breaking and L.A. had already not picked breaking before these events ever started.
Starting point is 00:45:54 So for L.A., I think it's, L.A., it's flag football, which is going to be insane. That's just us, like, giving ourselves another gold medal. Hell yeah, it is. But flag football. We're going to win silver with, like, Puerto Rico,
Starting point is 00:46:09 or, no, that's a bad example, but some country that a lot of bros can claim to be from. I think it almost had to be Canada, I think. Because, I mean, they're the only other country that's even. Germany's getting into it and Australia's getting into it. They are. That's true. But I still think Canada is probably better than both of those two.
Starting point is 00:46:23 But anyway, flag football, baseball slash softball. Baseball is going to be tough. Cricket, which I was surprised cricket ain't always because it's huge in other parts of the world. I'm always surprised cricket and baseball ain't part of it. Cricket's fun. Baseball has been on and off for some reason, some years they have it, some years they don't for a long, like they had baseball in Tokyo,
Starting point is 00:46:43 but they did in this year. That's why. Baseball might be the toughest one. But it didn't squash, which you know, it's like, that's like racquetball, you know what Scorch is? Rich people shit, and then I can't remember what the fifth
Starting point is 00:46:59 one was right now. So like Iceland is going to win at Squash probably, but like I don't know. I feel like the Brits probably got a good check. I think of I think of like dudes and ascots and fucking named Preston and shit. Yeah. That's us.
Starting point is 00:47:12 La Crosse. La Crosse is the other one. La Crosse is for me. We're going to dominate lacrosse. There's already a controversy right now because one of the best, they have world lacrosse championships and one of the best teams is the Iroquois Nation who
Starting point is 00:47:25 they play as themselves. You know, they play as the Iroquois nation. They don't represent the U.S. or Canada where both all their members are from. Or, you know, whatever. You know what I'm saying. We're counting that, right? Whatever. But that will see, the IOC, they don't want to they don't want to allow that, right?
Starting point is 00:47:41 So they don't want to let them, they don't want to let the Iroquois Nation be in lacrosse at the L.A. Olympics. That's bold. That's bold and bullshit. And they're fighting that already. Because if they are in it, I mean, they'll be like competing for gold with us in Canada.
Starting point is 00:47:58 It'd probably be the top three. And, uh, yeah, no, squash. Yeah, I mean, I'm sure we hit it squash.
Starting point is 00:48:03 So like if they didn't hit at lacrosse, do you think they would be having this fight? Yeah, they invented it. Yeah, Do you know that show? Indians invented lacrosse? Yes, but okay, didn't Mayans used to do it, but it was with skulls? No, there's a game.
Starting point is 00:48:23 I think you're talking about the game where there's like a hole that juts out from a wall and you throw a skull through the hole. Okay. I was thinking they had skulls in the basket and they was. That was like a gladiator-type event situation. No, I didn't know they invented it, but like, that checks out and, you know, hits. I just don't know how you justify that.
Starting point is 00:48:46 There's like, I mean, hell, let them play for the refugee. There's a refugee team. Right. Some people said that individuals, right? They may end up doing that, I guess, maybe, because that's what other people have said. They're like, well, just let them be. Because I guess also there was one or two athletes this year that were from Eastern block countries that were like.
Starting point is 00:49:03 Their country didn't go, but they went. Yeah. Yeah. So I guess maybe they could. can do something like that. But why if they can do that, can't they just be their fucking thing? I don't know. IOC got all these rules, everything.
Starting point is 00:49:16 Like the IOC and shit. Let me ask you this, Corey. And I mean, this is genuinely food for thought. Like, this is an unfair hypothetical, but I am curious. What if black American basketball players, good ones, we're like, no, we want to represent what's called the diaspora of black America next to Olympics. I mean, I can't have that. No, I mean, I mean, the thing, like, obviously that was.
Starting point is 00:49:38 wouldn't hit because then we would lose. But like at the same time, though, I'm like, ain't no skin off my back. Let them do whatever they want to do. You know what I mean? Like, did that phrase come from? I hope not. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:49:50 Oh, God. I had the same thought, Drew, I think. I'd never thought twice about that phrase until he said it in that context. And I was like, wait a minute. I'm looking it up. Don't sound good. No, it don't sound good. But I got accused of racism for a phrase that's not racist.
Starting point is 00:50:07 Go ahead. Yeah, it is. Fuck. I think from that. Well, someone said that makes an argument is that like it doesn't matter to me. I'm not going to be the one getting whipped for it. Yeah, right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:21 It's always something like that. Put it on the list. Yeah. I said to a black attorney that the judge was like dance, monkey dance. And he was like, that's racist. And I looked it up that night and he's wrong. It comes from the circus. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:50:37 I didn't tell him that. I don't know how to bring it up. I was about to say, I hear that more with, like, comedians, like not a black thing. I'm not a dancing monkey or whatever.
Starting point is 00:50:45 Yeah, it's a vaudeville circus joke. What do you think about what show said earlier about, you know, going back to Ray Gunn, like,
Starting point is 00:50:54 I mean, objectively speaking, objective, yeah, her name is Dr. Rachel Gunn. That's a Marvel character.
Starting point is 00:51:01 Yeah, right. It does literally sound like a comic book character. But her, objectively speaking, she's like, way bigger than any of the other ones,
Starting point is 00:51:10 which has to super not hit for the other ones, I have to imagine. But I mean, like, you know, how do you measure, I don't know, how do you think that's the internet now, buddy? The Hock Tua girl has more followers than me. I don't know if she's got you beat. You guys beat.
Starting point is 00:51:23 Oh, I'm sure. Definitely. Definitely. But, like, yeah, I mean, that's a direct component. How do I feel about it? Dude, here's the other thing for me. It sucked, not just like because it was bad. It wasn't that funny.
Starting point is 00:51:34 Like, I, I was pretty funny. I thought it was like, okay, she sucks at it. She didn't do anything hilarious. She didn't like her to chicken dance. She was so, she kangaroo hopped. She did have the kangaroo hopping. I just, she liked her a zero as a break dancer, and I give her four as a comedian. I didn't like it.
Starting point is 00:51:55 Joe, did you think it was funny? Yeah, I did think it was funny the first time I saw, and I'm sure, you know, like anything, it'll end up getting, you know, old or whatever. Like, I also loved the Hawk, too, the first time I saw it. I love Hock Tua girl still, and I hate Reagan. I do too. I'm just saying like, I don't know. Did you see her call that guy, Tiny the other day?
Starting point is 00:52:13 Raygun? No. Hock Tuah. She was on one of them like Barsville podcast. She goes, you're just so cute. She wasn't being mean on purpose. That's funny. She humiliating one of those guys.
Starting point is 00:52:22 But I think with this girl, I don't know, man, whether that was on purpose or not, whether she was just like, look, man, I will get more endorsements if I go out there and do something wild than if I just try to hit at this thing, which the Turkish guy, that was completely unintentional. but like it complete we don't live in a world anymore i think it was like roger ferris or whoever the dude that ran the three minute mile or whatever was like nobody nobody remembers who came in in second or whatever and it's like no we all remember the turkish
Starting point is 00:52:51 guy way more than we remember but if he had come in last i don't think that would have been anything agreed he had been really good yeah and being so weird was like a big part of it yeah right Corey is right though. I think that that's true. I mean, I don't know. Maybe it's one of those things. It's like maybe they had like newspaper memes about people that were funny but didn't hit it past Olympics. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:53:13 But he's right. The idea of like, yeah, all that matters in sports is winning or performance or whatever. But in the post-internet era, that just ain't true. You can become a meme and it don't really matter. But do you guys not hate that? Yeah. Oh, it's not whether I like it or not. I mean, I thought that Turkish dude was cool.
Starting point is 00:53:32 It's like you said. But he got silver. Yeah, that's just how he shoots. He might win next time. Yeah, he had taken it very serious. Like, I don't, yeah, I don't, in his mind, I don't think he was like, I'm going to do it like this. That way I'll be more popular.
Starting point is 00:53:46 That's just how that motherfucker shoots. You know what I mean? I hate the quest for clout. I like when someone gets clout because they're really good at shooting and they shoot like a pap ball. That hits me. That girl was being fun and funny randomly on the streets of Nashville. That hits for me.
Starting point is 00:54:02 If Raygun did that for Cloud, I hate that shit. Yeah, I don't know if I'm saying I think that she chose to get it for Cloud. Yeah, in her mind, that might have been what she thought would get gold. Well, then I just, which is insane. Yeah. You know what? I think it's a consensus. Either way, don't hit.
Starting point is 00:54:25 Whatever. It's like you said, I've seen other videos over too where it's like, I mean, she's still, she ain't, she's not an Olympian, But she's like, better. She's like, you wouldn't, if you were just out in about some random place and break dancing was happening and you saw her break dancing like she does in these other videos,
Starting point is 00:54:43 you wouldn't be like, what the fuck is it? Is she doing a bit? Is she just making fun? Maybe it wasn't on purpose or she was hurt. That's my opinion. Right. If she was hurt and just was like,
Starting point is 00:54:55 I'm just going to do a thing, then she rules. I don't know. Yeah, or just like tell them you're hurt, but you're already. there. Don't wait until you get there to tell them you're hurt and then you're hanging out in the Olympic Village.
Starting point is 00:55:07 Nah, do your thing. Be clowny. What kind of injury could she have had that would have still allowed her to like breakdance but only in hilarious. All my serious bones are broken. Right, yeah. Only my funny bones left. I've only got my funny bones. All right, I'm going to let it
