Speaker 1 (00:03):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast?

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Fine Elvis fifteen minute morning show, the fifteen minute morning
show podcast still observing our summer hours, so it may
be a seven minute podcasts.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
I can't wait to wait. I can't wait the next season.
And we're going to come up with some other.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Excused through the autumn as well. Yeah, Danielle is here,
there's Gandhi, there's Scarry up, and there's a straight night.
I see Garrett, and I think that's it. Is it
just us? Scotti Bee is in his closet at home,
so you can't hear him.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
Look at the one hanger.

Speaker 4 (00:43):
Do you see the one hanger hanging in his clothes,
the lonely hanger.

Speaker 5 (00:47):
He's got all his badges from like all of our
events hanging there.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
Look at Scotti with his lonely hanger. All right, let's
talk about Olympics. We're all we're all excited. We're just
talking a few moments ago about how it's just it's
thrilling to see these backstories about these athletes and how
they got to the Olympics, you know, and you just
you know the story. It makes you just want to
root for them, You want them to win. You know,
I'm loving it. How about you?

Speaker 5 (01:13):
Oh my god, I'm loving their stories. Between Sunny Lee
and Simone Biles, I just want them to take home
all of the medals because both of them have had
incredible comeback stories and rebuilding periods over the past few years.
For Sunny Lee even less than that, and I just
I'm like, wow, they went through all of this and
they come back and they are elite athletes just dominating

(01:33):
the world. And of course some people just got some
shit to talk about whatever, and it drives me nuts,
but those women are incredible.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
But look at Sudney Lee. Her story is just one
of many of these athletes that were going through this personal, physical,
or whatever tragedy sometimes emotional tragedy and they were told
that they should not or they will never ever compete
ever again, and she screw you. Look at her now,
look at her. She's in there, she's doing it.

Speaker 5 (02:00):
Or and even bars were amazing. And I just think too,
when it comes to the gymnastics side of things, how
terrifying each one of those events are. And they just
run them over and over and over every single day,
like their level of mental.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
Fortitude is through the roof.

Speaker 5 (02:15):
Oh I can't imagine.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
And when something goes.

Speaker 4 (02:17):
Wrong, I feel awful because I'm like, oh my gosh,
they have, this is their whole life they have and
they just made a mistake and it's going to cost
And like, I cry because I feel so I.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
Feel for them. I can't even imagine what that must
feel like for them.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
It looks devastating, but it's a part of it.

Speaker 6 (02:33):
What's that Garrett I was thinking about it last night
during gymnastics too, as like they're they're on the floor,
they're watching they look up and they see Snoop Dogg,
they see Lady Gaga, they see Nick Jonas, they see
Tom Cruise all watching them versus the other way around.
That has to be like a crazy moment on top
of nerves alone, I feel like.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
They don't look up. They're just so like in their
yea they have to their matches.

Speaker 7 (03:00):
Wereing gymnastics where Snoop was actually in the stands and
he was like doing a dance and the girls were
actually watching him, and I'm like, oh my god, does
this distract them and throw them off their game? Because
now that they have it in their head when they're
doing their uneven bars or bounce beam.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
Snoop's right there, Snoop's right there. Have you seen the
swimmers in the pool. The pool has like eight lanes, right, yep.
One lane, I think lane six or seven. It has
a camera on the floor of the pool. As soon
as they dive in and start going, the camera stays
with that particular swimmer in that aisle. And I don't

(03:38):
know if it's always aimed at them. I'm sure it's
aimed all the way across the pool. But if I
got lane seven with the stupid camera beneath me, I
mean no, no, no, I don't want that lane. Dude.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
Maybe they don't tell you. They don't tell you which
lane has the camera.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
Well, you see it, it's right there. Wouldn't they be
distracting having a camera of a piece of equipment floating
under on the track beneath.

Speaker 8 (04:01):
You, Yes, Elvis. But here's the thing.

Speaker 6 (04:04):
Lane the outside lanes, given anything could happen in a race,
obviously as we know, but the outside lanes are the
ones that just qualified in. So everybody that is probably
going for a gold are in those middle lanes in
lanes three, four, five, so be next to each other
like that. Yeah, pretty much it's it's it's the less
the less wave pull, the less waves you have coming

(04:25):
into the middle. So the outside lanes, not to say
that they don't care, they're more likely to win a medal. Now,
can it happen? Of course it can, but that's why
they put the the cameras on the outside lanes.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Well like last night for instance, Uh, the guy the
I think breaststroke from Italy, he was in the eye.
He was lane eight on the very end and he
just pounded a crap out of everyone he was.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
Is that the guy that lost his wedding ring? Was
that him?

Speaker 8 (04:46):
I don't know.

Speaker 7 (04:47):
There was also the French dude swimmer and he's like
he just mowed past everybody.

Speaker 8 (04:53):
Oh yeah, this guy's like.

Speaker 6 (04:54):
He was a fan of MI he's the superstar. Yeah,
he was a fan of Michael Phelps. So about four
four years ago he found out where Michael Phelps went
to school in Arizona, wrote the coach of Arizona and said,
I would love to come swim for you, And sure
enough he did and turned into us a better swimmer
than Michael Phelps ever was. And he's probably going to
crush it. He already crushed every single record Michael Phelps

(05:15):
even held. But the one story I love though from
swimming is the thirty one year old he never won
a medal until last night. He won every single you know,
world championship, but never a medal, and last night I
think he got silver.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
Yeah, and he was like with an eight one of
a second, RIGHTO. He's the guy from a Morristown yea,
his mendum up the street. And he's also he works.

Speaker 8 (05:36):
Full finance and finance yeah yeah, I mean he's he's.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
The stories are great, That's all I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (05:42):
I love it. It's amazing. The Olympics are the best.

Speaker 7 (05:44):
I got a question, though, I listen a lot of sports.
It's a clear cut and dry thing. You know, it's
it's it's timed, it's clear gold, silver, and bronze. But
there are some like gymnastics, which are a bit subjective,
and there are a lot of sports like that. Do
you think the hometown country has a bias toward them?
Because if you look at the metal count right now,

(06:06):
France is right behind the United States with total metals,
and I'm.

Speaker 9 (06:09):
Wondering, like that the home country usually ends up.

Speaker 8 (06:14):
Whatever reason.

Speaker 9 (06:15):
I don't in the.

Speaker 7 (06:16):
Sport's subjectivity and there could be a bias.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
I thought the judges are from all around the world.

Speaker 5 (06:23):
I don't think gymnastics is subjective at all. They have
very technical judging based on moves. They just have different
It used to just be out of ten. Now there
are different levels of difficulty. But I don't think it's subjective.
I think it's very much objective technical.

Speaker 6 (06:38):
I love the arrows that they're using in gymnastics too
to judge, because outside of the points, I didn't know
like how you lose a point.

Speaker 8 (06:44):
So when you see green, it's like, oh they did good.

Speaker 6 (06:46):
You see yellow, they're like okay, and then red is
like below average. So it's like I finally understand scoring
in gymnastics.

Speaker 5 (06:52):
I still don't understand that part of it, but it
is amazing to watch that.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
Another great thing about the Olympics is you get to
see a sports play that you don't really see a lot.
Here in the stage. The rugby is interesting to me,
I'm like, what the hell are they doing out there?
But you see all these and now we have break
dancing coming up right.

Speaker 5 (07:11):
It was so cool.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
I'm so excited to see how that rolls through and
how they judge that.

Speaker 5 (07:16):
I want to watch the surfing because they had to
do the surf competition and I think French Polynesia, Tahiti.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
They're in Tahiti somewhere.

Speaker 5 (07:25):
Way out there because there's obviously no waves on the sand.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
Now you don't want the Colin Jose is out there.
He's doing a great job.

Speaker 5 (07:32):
Cool.

Speaker 4 (07:33):
I love that they have all these celebrities getting involved
because I feel like it makes it a little bit
more interesting. Like Kelly Clarkson was doing commentating during the
opening ceremonies.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
That was so cool to see. I'm like, this is awesome.

Speaker 9 (07:43):
So it's a scary's question. Why does the host country,
you know, usually do better. There's a couple of reasons. Uh,
qualification standards are easier for the host nation. Don't know
about that, so for most sports they are guaranteed at
least one spot. The second is it's much cheaper for
the host nation to send athletes because they don't need
to travel, so they can afford to send more athletes

(08:05):
than they normally do and therefore get more metals. As
a result, they end up doing better because they're on
the same time zone. There's so there's no jet lag,
so they've been like acclimated to the area.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
The energy in the stadium as well. I mean you
have your homies.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
Well we have to look at how many people are competing.

Speaker 4 (08:25):
Like you look at them when they were all floating
down the river, you know, like there's these small, little
flit three athletes that's all they have. And then you
have like a big, bigger place like France, which has
how many people competing hundreds?

Speaker 3 (08:38):
Right, so it's different.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
They had the bigger batu floating down the sand. And
but you were talking about the French swimmer who's killing it.

Speaker 8 (08:47):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
He was doing the breastrokes, so they would go under
he come underwater, come up above the water, and down.
So every time he came above the water, the entire
stadium would go whoa, he'd underwater, they'd be quiet, and
they'd come back up. He heard that. He talked later
about how he was hearing that, and it just kind
of made it go faster. I don't know, so cool. Well,

(09:08):
we'll be watching again today if.

Speaker 6 (09:10):
Only what about Tom delay Oh, when he was knitting
Tom Daily.

Speaker 8 (09:17):
Yeah, Tom Daly, him and his husband too.

Speaker 6 (09:19):
I mean, talk about like a hot couple that arm
or Olympic medalists right there and they're they're just sitting
there knitting.

Speaker 9 (09:26):
It's relaxing though, right, Like I can only imagine how
nervous I would be before doing something right, And it's like,
all right, but.

Speaker 8 (09:33):
The dangerous sport water polo?

Speaker 1 (09:36):
How's that you?

Speaker 6 (09:38):
By the way, NBC was showing so much crotch grabbing
yesterday morning, and like they stood on it longer than
I would expected. But I mean, you're drowning your opponent,
You're grabbing your opponent under the water, and you have
to stay afloat, like, oh wow.

Speaker 5 (09:54):
I think the craziest thing is that there are not
more wardrobe malfunctions than there are, especially with like gymnastics,
and I know that they wear things to like keep
body parts in, but for the love of God.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
Well swimmers would lose those trunks exactly.

Speaker 3 (10:08):
Eats volleyball, Why are we wearing clothes?

Speaker 1 (10:11):
You know what if we have all those swimming pools,
why don't we have Olympic marco polo?

Speaker 4 (10:15):
That would be funny different.

Speaker 6 (10:18):
Yeah, come on, we should all wear speedos to your
pool party all this?

Speaker 1 (10:21):
Why not? I'm suggesting? Are we done? Are we good?

Speaker 7 (10:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (10:25):
Yep?

Speaker 1 (10:25):
How long do we go?

Speaker 8 (10:27):
Do you know? Hold on up?

Speaker 1 (10:30):
What does Fox Pro say, Now, we'll see you tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
Bye.

Speaker 8 (10:38):
Look at the Olympic studio.
