Speaker 1 (00:03):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast
Fine Elvin Show.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
So we kind of got into the Raygun conversation breaking.
Do we want to talk about Rachel Raygun from Australia anymore?

Speaker 3 (00:25):
I mean it was pretty interesting. I think it will
live in infamy.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
She kind of owned the internet this weekend.

Speaker 4 (00:31):
Yeah, she scored a zero? Right, yeah, a point?

Speaker 3 (00:34):
How do you score it zero?

Speaker 4 (00:36):
You're terrible?

Speaker 3 (00:37):
I didn't see it.

Speaker 4 (00:38):
Was terrible, Danielle. Pull it up on your phone.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
Remember when I tried to do the worm a.

Speaker 5 (00:43):
Couple of weeks ago, Scary would have scored higher than this.

Speaker 4 (00:49):
Just type in Reygun breaking and it will.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
But it also then opens up a lot of other
questions like how does how does this happen? How does
this person actually make it to the Olympics? Who qualified her?
What are the what's the criteria? Is there no live
reaction video?

Speaker 2 (01:09):
Okay, as we're okay, So you need to like do
a little watch and do play by playing hold on.

Speaker 4 (01:17):
Watch an ad.

Speaker 6 (01:18):
I got to watch an ad for ten pounds of
body bats.

Speaker 4 (01:22):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
That's kind of dr fatluss dot com. That's d R
fat loss dot com paid for who's uh, up to
forty pounds, who's twenty five days?

Speaker 6 (01:33):
Okay, well what is the bosses rallying behind her?

Speaker 3 (01:36):
After year?

Speaker 4 (01:37):
So I did a little deep dive on it.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
Apparently she was part of the I don't know, ballroom
dancing committee in Australia or something, but there was really
no adjudication process to get these people into the Olympics.
So I think she kind of snuck through on a technicality.

Speaker 4 (01:54):
The fact that she has a PhD in breakdancing is
are you watching it?

Speaker 1 (02:00):
She slipped through the cracks?

Speaker 4 (02:02):
Yeah? What do you think of Danielle?

Speaker 3 (02:04):
What the hell is she doing? Looks like a lot
of like feveral convulsions. Any of us could do this.
It doesn't get better.

Speaker 5 (02:13):
She's watching sped up version.

Speaker 4 (02:17):
Okay, any more commentary, Danielle?

Speaker 3 (02:22):
What oh this is sad?

Speaker 6 (02:28):
This is very sad.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
I felt such secondhand embarrassment watching her.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
I'm like, really, is the continent of Australia scratching their heads.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
They're mad, They're very mad, They're like, this is who
we send this embarrassing?

Speaker 6 (02:42):
I have a question, like, you know, when we watch
American Idol and we or we watch the auditions for
like those shows, and you know the person is bad,
but their friends never tell them they're bad.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
I feel like that's the situation.

Speaker 6 (02:54):
Did anybody ever say, listen, break dancing not your thing?

Speaker 3 (02:57):
Clearly not. She showed up dressed like a golfer. She did,
saying I'm like, what is I thought it was a joke.
You know those videos you see from like the early
nineties of some like old White Lady being h this
is how you hip hop kiddies, First, you bend your knees.
I think she took all of those classes and was like,
I got this.

Speaker 4 (03:14):
It was so bad, but.

Speaker 5 (03:16):
It's not going to be back for La Breaking.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
I mean, based on the reception of God now, I
don't think it'll ever come back.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
Well, I see, but she was really the only terrible one.
She just took it by storm. There was so much
amazing stuff, Like some guy spun on his head for
like nine seconds. That was insane. It was really good.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
This.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
She really out out Shawe Sean outshined everybody. Yeah, did
they give you a medal for like last place?

Speaker 4 (03:41):
No, like a little toilet bowl?

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Well, talk about foolish bravado. What is going on in
her head? And then at one point during this, didn't
you wouldn't you stop and say, I am so not qualified.
I'm going to embarrass myself. I can't go through it because.

Speaker 6 (03:56):
He just wanted to be on TV for the Olympics.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
And I bet she knew. But you know Rachel raygun before.
Now we all know who. She's probably getting endorsement deals.
She's gonna you know.

Speaker 6 (04:07):
But I think it's sad that the Olympic committee let
it get to the because the Olympics are such right,
the Olympics is such a prestigious thing, Like how does
it get to that point where you let nothing against
her as a person, but how do you let that throat?

Speaker 4 (04:20):
Can you imagine being some kid in Australia that that's your.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
Thing, right, really good at it and this is who
your country?

Speaker 3 (04:28):
Can you imagine what the other Olympians in the Olympic
village we're thinking. You got like Sha Carrie Richardson out there,
who's incredible. You have some mo Biles, He's like the
greatest of all time. This gets up on stage and
has a convulsion.

Speaker 5 (04:40):
Like so she has a PhD in cultural studies. I
have a feeling this we all are falling into one
big like thesis paper just about the reaction of the
world based off of.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
Does it get into the Olympic It makes the Olympics.

Speaker 6 (05:01):
Yeah, it makes you question like their decision making process, like, hello,
this is the Olympics, guys, this is not like you know,
come on.

Speaker 3 (05:08):
And then they're out here trying to take away Jordan
Childs bronze medal, but this this comes through. I don't
even know.

Speaker 6 (05:13):
I think they're giving her her bronze. That's what I heard.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
What's like the worst material on earth. Wait, they all
walk around like that, take it home with you.

Speaker 5 (05:31):
US one bronze though, in breaking though.

Speaker 4 (05:33):
Yeah, good for us.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
I think the woman who took gold was from Lithuania.
Was she? I'm pretty sure. I have to go double check,
but I'm pretty sure she.

Speaker 4 (05:41):
Maybe Japan? Was it Japan? The woman? I don't know.

Speaker 6 (05:45):
Do you think they left this competition for the end
because they wanted to give us comic relief?

Speaker 4 (05:49):
I think they had. I mean it was a new event.
I think there was a lot of excitement built up
around it.

Speaker 3 (05:55):
Nay, you're right. Japan took gold, Lithuania took silver, Okay,
took bronze.

Speaker 4 (06:01):
That was the women. Yeah, well, you'll never see it again.
Enjoy that one and done.

Speaker 5 (06:07):
But that's kind of cool though if you have a medal,
though of the only time it was in the Olympics.
But so with the medals though you heard that they
were part of the Like they got a piece of
the eyeful tower.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
What how just like scraps from when they're drilling and reconstructing,
and like little pieces of it fall off. I hope,
so take them. We should take the left legs.

Speaker 7 (06:33):
