(00:00):
You're moving me away from the
(00:03):
confidence.
I'm titans they don't have culture.
He is a great guy.
(00:25):
Oh, yes, here we go.
Back once again for another exciting,
stupendous episode of Chirping from the Pine.
I'm Josh, here today with good buddy Frank.
I actually get to be one of these.
Hooray!
(00:45):
Oh, he finally gets to be on one
because I finally allowed it
because I don't let him be on things.
I just think it was my first time.
Oh, I bet you were gonna say something like that.
So I was just cutting you off.
I was, but afterwards.
Oh, okay.
Yes, so let's welcome Frank, everybody.
Wee!
(01:07):
Anyways, if you wanna hear,
well, today we're gonna talk about the Olympics.
We're talking about the 2024 Olympics.
Well, briefly about it.
Something about it, and then yes, we're talking about it.
What else we can talk about?
Well, no, I just, I didn't think we'd do a whole,
like, hour on this.
Although we're gonna do, like, yeah,
like the typical normal 30 minutes or whatever-ish.
But yeah, we're gonna talk about the Olympics a little bit.

The weather, 85 degrees.
Other than that, current air quality is unhealthy.
Wow, it's currently unhealthy in where we are at.
(02:12):
In Southern California, it is unhealthy.
This makes sense, because everything's on fire.
But anyways, go listen to the Anime Syndicate podcast
if you want.
So, the Olympics, Paris, 2024 Summer Olympics.
So before we get to the actual-
Meat and potatoes.
Sports of it.
Oh, you wanna talk about the opening-
(02:36):
Well, all the other shit has been going on.
Yeah, the opening ceremonies.
Yeah.
First of all, the Gojira shit was tight.
I haven't been able to see it because they-
You know why?
Yeah, I know exactly why.
Because of the guy's balls?
No, it wasn't even that.
It was because ever since this outrage
of the people being all pissed off
(02:56):
about trainees being involved,
they fucking, what's their names?
NBC or the, oh no, not NBC, the Olympic Committee.
Whoever runs the Olympics, it's like the IOC
or something, the International Olympic Committee,
they have been DCMA striking anyone who reposts anything
from that opening ceremony.
Not because of copyright, but because of the outrage
(03:20):
that it caused in people,
mostly people of Christian faith or Christ-centered faith
being upset that this was a depiction of, quote unquote,
the Last Supper with trannies.
So-
And then also the whole 666 thing with the lights.
Yeah, sure.
But I will say this.
(03:40):
The, what was, what they said they were actually depicting
was basically the last dinner at Dionysus is a Greek,
it's a Greek legend or a Greek mythology term, right?
Which obviously the Olympics are a Greek thing.
So I don't understand why people of Christian faith
(04:02):
are all pissy about this
because it wasn't even depicting the Last Supper.
It was a complete other thing that happened before,
quote unquote, the Last Supper canonically in history.
So if anything, all it does is just,
maybe this is why they're getting pissed off
because it just proves that the Christianity
stole elements of storytelling from Greek mythology.
Because these types of things
(04:24):
are not exclusive to Christianity.
And that's what is kind of upsetting in my book at least.
Cause it's like, dude, it's just the Olympics, man.
Like, it's not like, I don't think they were trying
to make like a religious or a political statement.
I think they were just trying to fucking do something
and quote unquote, be inclusive, I guess.
I don't know.
Now, the people that are upset about the guy's balls,
(04:44):
I do think that's funny
that the guy's balls were hanging out.
I mean, Janet Jackson was fined millions of dollars
for having a nipple come out on the Super Bowl.
I think this dude should suffer the same fate.
I don't think that,
cause not only is the Super Bowl, let's be honest,
Super Bowl is kind of like insular to America, right?
It's not really necessarily a huge international event.
(05:06):
The Olympics is a giant international worldwide event.
So I feel like this guy should maybe be tart and feathered
for having his balls hang out.
And I was arguing with somebody on Twitter
because they were so upset about the balls.
And I said, hey, did you ever see that movie, The Watchmen?
And they were like, yeah.
And I was like, so that was cool.
(05:26):
Like the guy with this big blue dick,
half the movie fucking hanging out and just walking around.
Oh, well, that's different.
Well, I mean, you're saying the balls hanging out.
I mean, sure.
I don't know if it was intentional
and I don't think anyone can say
whether or not it was intentional.
I will say that based on the way that thing was cut,
it's not like there was a hole for his balls to hang out.
It looked like they just squirted out the side
(05:48):
of his fucking tights or whatever.
Like is like...
Where the fuck he was wearing?
Yeah, cause it's like in wrestling.
It's the same thing in wrestling.
If you have your single tights,
like just your underwear type tights,
your balls can fly out of that
if you don't have it hooked up properly.
So, which is why people usually wear
like something underneath it.
(06:08):
This guy clearly was not doing that.
Maybe he just didn't know.
I don't know.
But I think...
How do you not feel one of your balls slip out?
That's true.
Well, okay, think about this though.
When you are in an adrenaline fueled situation like that,
because you're performing in front of basically the world,
right?
Maybe you don't even, maybe you just don't feel it.
You can be high on PCP.
You can be high on any kinds of drugs.
(06:29):
You can be full of adrenaline.
Anything happens to your nuts,
your full attention happens to it.
Yeah, that's true.
But what if it's just like,
because it was so loose that they just flipped out
and like, oh shit.
Every man knows the feeling of...
I mean, I will say,
I know the feeling you're right, of the wind.
Yes.
The wind on the balls, but...
Either way, I do think I should be tarred and feathered
(06:50):
for this.
Like, I don't think he did that on purpose.
Yeah.
But again, at the same time,
I think he was the whole,
I can't fix this because I would draw attention to it.
Yeah, so fuck it.
I'm just going to leave it and they're blue.
Hopefully they blend in with everything else
and we'll just pretend that this hopefully never happened.
How wrong that dude was.
How wrong he was.
And now he's going to be a meme.
(07:10):
He took a calculated risk,
but damn, was he bad at math.
Oh yeah.
He took a calculated risk not knowing how to do math.
That's what it was.
But at any rate...
But then going back to the whole thing,
like, it is kind of funny that it did kind of feel
like a biblical punishment in the sense,
in the sense that literally the day after all of Paris,
(07:35):
loses power.
Yeah, loses power and then...
The guy who's in charge of it gets hit by lightning.
Yeah, and then it's raining.
And then the river Seine is full of shit
and they can't fucking like,
they couldn't do some of the events in there.
I mean, that was very funny.
Yeah, I mean, it did seem like that.
It did seem biblical, didn't it?
Right, it did, which is funny.
(07:55):
I was hoping frogs would rain from the sky,
which would be ironic because frogs in France...
Yeah, I know what you're going for.
It wasn't funny, but I get you.
Oh, okay.
So I won't say it wasn't funny, it just wasn't clever.
Okay.
Anyways.
I don't think, you've been on one lately
for just taking the cheap jokes.
Yeah, it's fun for me.
(08:18):
Anyway, what else?
The Olympics, what else about the opening?
Gojira, yeah, tell me more about Gojira
since I didn't fucking actually get to see it.
Oh yeah, the fucking,
I was at the French consulate building or whatever it was.
That has those like little, those little fucking like,
for lack of a better term, patios.
Oh, like the balconies?
Yeah.
And literally they were just like all over,
(08:38):
it was just randomly on those things.
That's cool.
Each member which is in their plane.
It's fucking tight.
Yeah, that's pretty sweet.
Have you watched any of the events?
Couple.
I've been mostly watching the highlights
because I work during the day, so.
Yeah, and then sometimes they're in the middle of the night
because of the time difference or whatever.
(09:00):
But anyway, what have you been keeping track of anything?
Yeah, which is kind of weird.
So the United States is fourth right now with the medals.
Yeah.
Because we have nine gold medals.
Australia has 11 and France has 11.
And then the People's Republic of China has 13.
(09:22):
Grand total, we have 43 medals.
Yeah, we have the most medals, right?
Yeah, we have the, by,
China's, France is in explosives at 36.
I mean, the only thing that's pissing me off about this
(09:43):
is that we didn't even rank for the shooting galleries.
Dude, man, I did want to talk about that because I don't.
Every year we dominate in that one.
Yeah, but I don't, like, I didn't realize.
But yeah, sure, my earmuffs are on over there.
Because all our great shooters
have been shot from school shootings.
(10:03):
That's true, yeah, before they could even get out there.
Same reason how we never win in skateboarding
because our fucking, all our best, like,
pro skaters can't pass a drug test.
Yeah, and they refuse to stop doing drugs long enough
to fucking be able to pass one.
But I don't, I don't like,
I don't like the Olympic shooting competition now.
(10:26):
Well, the pellet and the 22.
I don't like either of them.
Neither do I.
Because it's almost like you are not even doing anything.
Mm-hmm.
What, like, I didn't even realize
they have this fucking lens on one eye
and they have this shade on the other.
And then you have this, like, super tricked out
(10:47):
22 long rifle or air pellet gun.
And it's got all this crazy shit on it.
And I'm like, I literally was like,
dude, when did Call of Duty become the fucking Olympics?
Like, I have the opposite feel.
I feel like it's,
you're making shooting,
because they have to have this special type of weapons,
guns, whatever.
(11:08):
Yeah, everyone has like the same rifle.
Yeah, you have to have that special stylized gun.
Yeah.
Which I think you're required for the Olympics.
Maybe, yeah, probably.
But I think that's stupid.
They're the same.
Hey, if you let us shoot glocks,
I'm sure we'll fucking be taking the locks.
(11:29):
If you let us shoot glocks and fucking ARs,
I'm sure we'd be killing everybody.
Mm-hmm, literally.
And what happened to pistols?
Isn't there used to be pistol competition?
Mm-hmm.
Is that gone?
Because now it's just like air rifle or 22.
Mm-hmm.
(11:50):
And I'm like, I think we need to go back
to 22 long rifle.
If that's what you're gonna use, that's fine.
But we need to go back to like iron sights
or like just basic scopes.
None of this extra superfluous shit.
And honestly-
(12:10):
Right, that guy from Turkey?
Yeah.
I'm not gonna show up in the uniform,
just show up in a shirt that's a turkey.
Yeah, it had a picture of an actual turkey on it
and it fucking shows up.
None of that fucking glasses.
Nope.
None of that fucking weird ass angle shit
that they do to pose.
I hate that, man.
That's terrible.
I remember when the US Army adopted the whole,
(12:33):
when they were trying to go away from foregrips
and they adopted the whole like-
Oh, that whole.
Yeah.
And you were all pissed about that.
I hate that, man.
Cool, now in comparison, is that better?
Oh, that's much better than this bullshit.
I mean- Is it more acceptable?
Yeah, 100% more acceptable.
I just don't think that's a comfortable shooting position.
Just personally, it's just, I don't know,
being down.
Well, it isn't meant for when you're cleaning rooms.
(12:55):
It's when you're behind cover
and you're holding the gun down to fight a rinse recoil.
Right, but then everybody adopted that
even when you're trying to clear rooms and do shit.
And I'm like, dude, I hate that.
I feel like your elbow is in there,
you're just gonna hit shit.
I don't know, but anyway.
And then there's the AK version of that where you go like this.
Yeah, you hold your thing,
you go underneath and you rack it from the other side.
(13:17):
No, I'm just saying that's,
because that's how they do the cocking.
So that's how they have to hold it like that.
They have to hold it like that.
But yeah, I don't get that, man.
It's very strange
and I wish we would just go back to no crazy nonsense.
I think just woodstock rifles,
just basic woodstock, no polymer.
There shouldn't be any.
I mean, that gun is entirely made of aluminum
(13:38):
or whatever, right?
Like aluminum.
Aluminum.
Aluminum.
I'm gonna look it up and see what that's actually made out of.
I'm curious now, but anyways, yeah, continue.
I'm just saying it should be fucking,
yeah, it should be like the woodstock guns.
The whole shooting competition should be a whole thing
about like doing it with iron sights.
Yeah.
Like it should be doing it with no anything.
(14:03):
What rifles are they using in Olympic level shooting?
Shooting 101, Olympic equipment.
Here we go.
God, man, like look at this thing.
It looks like a paintball gun.
It does.
Man, I,
it's a three position and okay, it's a small bore.
It can only weigh, it has to weigh no larger
(14:29):
than 17.6 pounds.
The air rifle is no bigger than 12.125 pounds.
For pistol, it's 22 caliber, air pistol, shotgun.
Oh yeah, they have shotgun.
Like a legit shotgun or?
It says shotgun trap, double trap and skeet.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, skeet shooting,
(14:51):
everything about that.
We didn't do that one yet.
They didn't do that one yet, did they?
I don't know.
Olympic skeet 2024.
Ah, skeet, skeet, skeet.
Oh, it's tomorrow.
Tomorrow's day two.
The US guy, we're in first place.
We're in first and second place.
First shooting?
Yeah, first shooting skeet, 17.6.
First shooting skeet, 75 and 74 points respectively.
(15:14):
Okay.
So we're probably, hopefully gonna take that.
We're hopefully gonna take skeet shooting.
As rightfully so, considering that we invented
the war crime stick known as the shotgun,
as you like to call it.
The trench gun, you mean?
Yeah, the trench gun.
Shotgun existed before the trench gun.
Yeah.
That one was the war crime stick.
Right.
So very fitting that we should hopefully win that.
(15:37):
So what do you think about fucking the US taking wins
in odd sports and shit?
Like what, give me an example.
Like sports that we shouldn't be good at.
Like, was it the last Olympics we won gold
in fucking curling?
Oh yeah, that's true, because that's a Canadian thing.
And this year we won fucking bronze in fucking rugby?
(16:01):
Yeah, rugby, huh?
The women's version, but still.
Still, we don't, like rugby's not a mainstream thing here.
Dude, we even took two gold medals in fencing.
In, oh, fencing?
Fencing's, that's cool.
Yeah, but our nation wasn't created by the sword,
it was created by the gun.
Yeah, that's true.
That's a European thing.
That's true.
(16:23):
But we still decided to just get better
and whoop everybody's ass at it.
Got a silver in fucking women's BMX freestyle.
BMX freestyle?
Yeah.
That's pretty good.
Yeah.
So far the only medal we have for sure
is the silver in shooting.
The 50 millimeter, or 50 meter rifle three position women.
(16:46):
Damn, a lot of our big medals are from our women's sports.
Yeah, the US women's teams have been kicking ass.
Yeah.
What else?
Wow, Mexico's 35th.
Huh?
Mexico's 35th.
35th?
Yeah.
Who's in last place?
(17:07):
Who has the least amount of medals?
This only goes up to the,
this only lists the top 50.
Okay.
And the bottom of that is, there is a four way tie.
For what?
Austria, Egypt, Portugal, and Slovakia.
They all have one bronze medal.
(17:29):
Austria has it in judo.
Egypt has it in fencing.
Portugal has it in judo as well.
And Slovakia has it in canoe saloon.
Come on, thing.
2024 Olympics.
(17:50):
Wow.
That's funny.
Ukraine has two medals.
A bronze in fencing and a silver in shooting.
Ha!
And they're in the middle of a war right now.
That is pretty funny.
Did Russia was allowed to participate under that?
No, so under some other thing.
Whatever it was called.
(18:11):
Yeah, it's like.
What was it called?
It's like the Russian, it's like RO.
Russian Federation thing.
It's like the Russian Olympic.
Committee.
Something maybe.
I don't know, let's see.
But I don't know if they're allowed to win medals.
Look at that, North Korea even has a medal.
Look at that, North Korea even has two fucking medals.
Yeah, I saw that.
(18:31):
One, a silver and a fucking,
another silver in diving and table tennis.
That makes sense.
Fucking ping pong.
That does make a lot of sense.
And our good buddies in Belgium have two medals.
Oh, three.
Three medals actually.
Three medals, huh?
Yeah, it took the gold in cycling road.
Oh, nice.
(18:51):
They took the bronze in judo.
Wow.
Sorry, no, they took the silver in judo.
Wow, that's pretty good.
Man, is Poland even on here?
Yeah, they have four medals.
(19:12):
Silver in canoe saloon, whatever it is.
Bronze in fencing, bronze in rowing, and bronze in tennis.
That's pretty good.
That's pretty legit.
Oh, look, the Josh of Europe also,
of NATO also has two medals.
Who is that?
Turkey.
Oh, Turkey.
What do they got them in?
(19:33):
They have a bronze in archery and a silver in shooting.
That's not bad.
Yeah.
France, home country.
Number two.
Yeah, that's not a bias, is it, Dean?
Yeah, exactly.
Man, we can't let China, we cannot let China win, man.
(19:54):
We can't let China get the most gold.
I mean, granted, we will likely take the most medals,
but we can't let these other gutter snipes
get more gold medals than us.
Who's hosting the next one?
It'll be the 2026 Winter Olympics, I believe.
Let's do 2026 Winter Olympics.
That's gonna be in Milano Cortina in...
(20:19):
I guess that's...
Wait, is an upcoming international multi-sport...
What the fuck, what country?
San Siro, Verona, is that Italy, maybe?
Location, yeah, opened by the president of Italy,
so it'll be in Italy, I guess, and then...
(20:40):
Does Italy even have snow?
Yeah, it snows in Italy.
I'm genuinely asking, I don't know.
Yeah.
Oh, guess where they're gonna be in 2028
for the Summer Olympics?
North Korea?
No, Los Angeles.
Oh yeah, they're rebuilding a...
They're building a whole new stadium for it.
We should try to go, just to see.
(21:02):
Hey, Katie.
Katie!
Hey, are you down to go to the Olympics in 2028
because they're gonna be in LA?
Okay!
All right, cool.
All right, we're going.
We're just talking about how the women's team
is just fucking killing it right now.
Women's team is...
Everything.
The majority of our medals are women's team.
Yeah, yeah, all right, sweet.
Well, stay tuned for four years from now
(21:25):
when we go to LA Olympics and give you live coverage.
That'd be pretty sweet.
Yeah.
Maybe I can get us press passes by then.
Hey, you never know.
I'm gonna start looking into that now.
And then after that, they're gonna be in the French Alps
in 2030 for the Winter Olympics.
(21:46):
That's actually a good spot for it.
I think so too.
No.
Shit, and then they're gonna be in Australia
for the Summer Olympics in 2032 again.
Curious.
Curious.
(22:09):
Anyways, what else was I gonna say about the Olympics?
That boxer.
Oh yeah, there was this controversy,
which I don't quite understand what the problem is.
I've been reading up about it
because she is from...
(22:30):
Boxer Olympics.
I think she's from, not Armenia.
The lady she fought was from, oh, she's Algerian.
Yeah, she's from a country where you get executed
for being LGBTQ.
Right.
And okay, here's the other thing.
(22:52):
If you look at her, yeah, sure, man,
she kind of has face, she kind of looks like a guy, right?
She has male features.
But if you look at an example of like,
if you look at Brock Lesnar's daughter,
Yeah, exactly what I was gonna say.
Dead fucking like him.
And you can't tell that she is a biological woman.
And just because you maybe look like a man
or have some features that maybe you got a square jaw
(23:14):
or whatever as a female,
if you were born female,
that's all that the Olympics requires
is your biological sex at birth,
like what you were assigned at birth.
So if you're like, let's just say,
this is obviously a weird extreme example,
but if you're like a hermaphrodite and you have both,
whatever sex you are given at birth is what,
(23:36):
so if you have both and you're assigned female,
then you're female, right?
Now granted, there's like very few people
I think there's been like two in the history of humanity.
Right, I mean, it's not something that's common, but-
Which is on a side tangent.
Again, I don't, it's another example
of things being biblical.
Yeah.
(23:57):
That we have examples of hermaphrodites like that.
And that's the trope that most angels will have
in the Bible.
That they're hermaphrodites?
That they have both parts.
Yeah.
Well, I think it's the Luminions that have that.
Oh, right, right, right.
Okay, I know it's just a side tangent,
(24:17):
like goddamn, like.
That is strange, right, if you think about it.
Cause what ended up happening was,
she was, she won the International Boxing Association
(24:39):
Women's World Championship in 2023.
She won it.
And then they disqualified her later by saying
that she didn't meet the eligibility rules
because she had too high level of a testosterone
in her system supposedly.
Which again, that's not something that is common.
Now granted, there could be logical explanation reasons
(25:02):
for that.
She could have been juicing.
I mean, women that take steroids do take testosterone.
They do take all the same-
What?
They're pretty good.
Yeah, goobers are fucking great, man.
Excellent candy.
That's the first time I've had them.
They were like, they were a dollar on the door
that I was supposed to fuck it.
Yeah, fuck it.
There was this and snow caps.
Yeah, snow caps are good too.
I killed those right away.
(25:28):
The possibility that she was maybe juicing
is probably the explanation for that.
Even, okay.
For the sake of the people who are making these arguments.
Yeah.
Let's take out the equation though, that she was juicing.
Is it an unfair advantage if she was a woman
(25:49):
that was able to produce testosterone?
I don't think so.
It's you naturally produce it.
But it's not a common trait that women have though.
It's not.
Now granted, yes, sure.
It is an advantage 100% that you have.
What I was saying, it is an advantage, right?
But I don't think that it's advantage enough
that you should be disqualified
from fucking competing in sport
just because you have that.
(26:09):
You're one of the few people
that may have that genetic defect,
if you wanna call it that.
My counter to that is what's his name?
That giant ass, the Asian player.
Oh, Yao Ming?
Yao Ming.
China literally bred him.
Yeah.
They told the tallest man,
hey, you need to have a baby with this tallest woman.
Tallest woman, yeah.
(26:32):
In my eyes, I'm like, okay, how's that okay?
But if this woman is able to self-make testosterone,
she has that rare trait,
wouldn't her country want her to start producing athletes
of that line?
Yeah, of course.
Not just in boxing.
Hey, we need to make a version of her that plays baseball.
(26:52):
A version of her that plays.
And there's that argument too about Yao Ming.
It's like, okay, in the NBA,
oh, because Shaq's too tall or Yao Ming's too tall,
should they not be allowed to play?
They didn't do anything to be that tall.
That's just how they are.
That's how they are.
So I don't think that she should be banned because of this.
And it's not like she's fighting
out of her weight class either, right?
(27:13):
Right, she's in the same weight class
as whoever she's fighting.
Don't get me wrong, I felt bad for that girl that quit
because who was fighting for her in her dad's memory.
Yeah.
But it sucks people just sometimes
have a genetic advantage.
Yeah, and also, I don't understand
why the chick she was fighting just took one punch
and then just said, I quit.
(27:34):
That's fucked.
That's fucked.
It's, well, you ever seen Kimbo Slice fight?
Yeah, but I mean like-
Literally, his first fight ever
that Showtime version of MMA.
Yeah.
He hit the guy once,
went down on the ground and just tapped out.
Yeah, weak.
I don't understand why you would do that.
Like-
It was, that's how-
(27:54):
Now granted, that's for money.
Yeah.
If you're gonna say this is for something more than money,
this is for you.
Symbolism.
This is for you doing this for your dad or for your country.
Like, you can't just give up.
You gotta knock me out.
Like that's, you know what I'm saying?
Like if I was in there in the men's boxing for America,
you gotta knock me the fuck out to get me out of there.
I might lose on points in the end or whatever,
(28:16):
but I'm not gonna throw in the towel and quit.
I'm representing my country here.
Like I'm representing everybody.
I'm supposed to be the best of everyone.
And now, oh, you just threw in the towel.
You just quit.
You just said all the, I think she's Italian,
all the Italy's acquitters.
The best boxer in Italy is acquitter.
Fucking quitter.
And then just was like, pissed.
(28:36):
And that's where I think what started this whole rumor
going around that this lady was a transgender person
or whatever.
Just to insult her?
Yeah.
I feel bad for her because people are calling her,
oh, she's a man.
I should have like, that's gotta hit her.
Yeah, of course it does.
Like that's gotta fuck her up, you know?
(28:56):
But the International Boxing Association was recognized
by the International Olympic Committee
as the governing body for the sport of boxing
up until 2019.
And the IOC suspended its recognition of them.
And it was the first, wow,
it was the first international federation to be expelled
from the Olympic movement.
I like how nobody's even mentioning the Americans
(29:21):
female boxer for the heavyweight division.
Yeah.
And no one's batting an eye on her.
What'd she look like?
Brock Lesnar's daughter?
That's not real.
That's Mike Tyson from Scaly 4.
That's not real.
That would be funny though.
The rumor mill, because I haven't found anything
(29:43):
that confirms it about Mike Tyson saying
that he would fight her.
That lady?
Yeah.
I mean.
He says that he would fight,
because there's the whole thing in saying
that she's a man.
Yeah.
Saying that he would fight him
and the proceeds will go to a battered women's charity.
But like he would just be beating a woman
because she's a woman.
Okay.
There's no evidence backing this up.
(30:03):
And yeah.
I, like I said, I think that just goes to discredit.
Like, you know what I'm saying?
Which is fucked.
Yeah.
If anything now, I'm actually kind of rooting for her now.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, she won.
So she won the whole thing.
That was a fight.
If anything, it made me want to vote for her.
Yeah.
Cause now she's getting fucked over by the fucking man
who people think that they're like,
(30:25):
oh yeah, we'll just say she's a tranny
and then it'll be good.
The boxing federation
paid that lady who quit,
they paid her the $50,000 prize.
They didn't give it to her?
Well, no, because they're banned from the Olympics now.
So they said, we're going to pay out of our pockets,
the 50 grand that the Olympics should have paid her
because this lady should have been disqualified
(30:46):
for being a man, basically is what they said.
So they paid the lady who won number two,
the $50,000 prize.
Wow.
Which is like, I mean, obviously they're just giving
the finger to the Olympics because they're pissed
because the Olympics, you know, cut them off and said,
nah, no more, you're done.
I don't know why.
Is there any reason as to why they chose to cut them off?
The same reason they, they make it harder.
(31:06):
They made that boxing, baseball, skateboarding,
basically everything that we dominated,
they add rules to prevent our professional athletes
from playing.
I got you.
Because basketball, we never lost
until they banned professional players.
Yeah.
But now they're back in, so.
Yeah, after all of them died and retired.
(31:28):
Yeah, and because they were like,
oh, you know what, this sucks now.
Nobody watches the basketball Olympics.
We need to fucking get them back in.
I mean, did LeBron even play?
Yeah, he's in it this year.
Yeah, I was gonna say, I'm asking,
does he play in this here?
Men's basketball Olympics.
Let me just look real quick because I'm curious.
Let's see.
USA, let's see.
(31:48):
Who, who do you love?
So they're still playing right now.
Oh shit, they do three on three too?
Yeah.
Damn, are we in three on three?
Yeah, we're in everything, dude.
We're in everything.
I think that's why we normally win so many medals
is because we dominate in those kinds of sports.
Yeah, so next week on Tuesday, the sixth,
(32:09):
that's when the quarterfinals for the men's
and then the, whatchamacallit,
the semis will be on the eighth
and then the gold medal game will be on Saturday the 10th.
Cool.
So that's kind of cool.
I wanna know who is the men's Olympic qualifying tournaments?
Where, who's on the team?
(32:34):
Let's see, does it tell me the roster?
Let me do 2024.
Let me just look this up.
Okay, Google.
2024 men's.
Who's playing on the US Olympic basketball team,
men's division?
Oh man, we're gonna destroy everybody, dude.
We have Steph Curry, fucking.
USA men's Olympic basketball team.
(32:56):
The 2024 USA men's Olympic basketball team
is stacked with NBA superstars.
Yeah, stacked.
Yeah, dude, Steph Curry, Anthony Edwards,
LeBron James, Jason Tatum, Kevin Durant,
Derek White, Tyrese Halliburton, Joe Embiid,
and then the backups, Drew Holliday, Bama Adobeo,
(33:17):
Anthony Davis, Devin Booker.
Coaching staff is Steve Kerr from the Golden State Warriors,
Mark Few from the Gonzaga Bulldogs college team,
Tyrone Lu from the LA Clippers,
and Eric Spolstra from the Miami Heat.
Those are the coaches of the fucking team.
And we're gonna, we better fucking win gold in this.
I mean, that's all I have to say.
(33:38):
But it sucks too, cause like with baseball,
I mean like the world baseball classic is cool
because it lets all of the countries have their pro players,
their best players, whether pro or amateur,
whoever's the best of the best gets on this team
and they go fight it out.
And then yes, Japan kicks our ass every year,
but like, or has been kicking our ass.
But I just think that there's, we don't have,
(34:01):
it's not the same as like being on the Olympic team.
So like guys don't generally wanna go do it.
It's like, yeah, Trout goes and does it
cause he's the ambassador of the MLB basically
on the West Coast.
He's like the American league ambassador.
He's the good guy.
He's like the John Cena.
He goes and does all the fucking kiss events
and you know, fucking make a wish and all that stuff.
So he's gonna go do that cause that's like a PR event.
(34:24):
But the guys like Shohei was on the Japanese team,
obviously, so like that's where he's gonna keep playing.
But that's also the thing with the MLB.
They don't let you play on the Olympic.
Yeah, which sucks.
Well, I mean, it happens during the fucking season, but.
Like if your team's already eliminated, like the angels.
Just let them go, man.
Like who cares?
So I don't know.
(34:47):
If I was there, I would let the,
at the very least let the triple A players play.
Yeah. I mean, fuck that.
That'd get them some cool exposure.
And let them earn money.
Yeah, yeah.
Cause they get paid to be on the Olympic team.
So it's not much, but.
Was it like, you said it was $50,000 for the singles.
That was for the singles for like boxing.
For singles, I know.
I think they pay.
(35:08):
How much do Olympic baseball players get paid?
Oh yeah.
How do the medals look this year?
They don't look bad, but they are just gold plated.
Oh, they're just plated?
Yeah. They're not even solid gold anymore.
Wow.
Which fucking sucks, man.
Cause.
I hate to say, but you know who had the best medals?
(35:30):
Fucking Russia.
Oh yeah.
The one that had the piece of that meteorite
that fucking.
Yeah.
Like destroyed half of Russia.
Yeah.
Olympic medal.
How do you say this?
Olympic medal look.
Yeah.
Design. There we go.
That's what it is.
The medals of Paris 2024.
Yeah. This is what they look like.
(35:51):
They look pretty cool.
Yeah. They don't look bad, but.
I'm not going to lie.
Like it does look like it's made of tin foil.
Yeah. Cause it is.
It's gold plate.
It's just gold plated.
They're not solid gold.
And I like how it's funny how everybody's like doing
the bite thing, you know, which is the test to see
if it's, if it's real or not.
When it's like, it's kind of not.
You can tell that's doing it soft.
Yeah. They're like, ah, we don't want to, you know.
Well, they don't own it yet either.
(36:11):
Oh yeah.
Those aren't the medals.
Like you have to, your, what normally happens is that
when you win the Olympics,
your country has to pay for the medal.
Oh, okay.
So it sucks for like countries like Ethiopia
and shit like that.
That does suck.
Cause they can't afford it.
Man, the Olympics should just give it to them, man.
(36:32):
Tom only did.
I know, but still.
Like your wife said it's all corrupt.
Yep. True story.
Can you?
Oh man. 1896 Athens, Greece.
Did you pull up the Russian one?
Yeah. Hold on.
I was going to see if it was this one here.
Oh dude, this one's fucking cool from 1928
in the Netherlands.
That one's pretty dope.
Tokyo. Oh, the Tokyo Japan one's kind of cool.
(36:53):
Didn't that one have this one in the reactor?
Yeah, probably.
That's the China in 2008.
Winner. Let's see.
That's in Japan.
That's in France.
Beijing, China.
Those are actually pretty cool.
Yeah. Those are not bad.
Oh, this one.
Yeah. Sochi, Russia.
These ones were the coolest, man.
Yeah. That silver thing is the actual meteorite.
Yeah. That's pretty dope.
It was the number one.
(37:14):
They look like, they look like fucking like.
That's cool. Cause it's like two different,
the Japan, 1998 Nagano Japan.
Yeah. I get what they're going for,
but that looks like something you get
out of a McDonald's Happy Meal.
Yeah. As I was saying, this one's the coolest.
Yeah. I would have to give it to the Russians.
The Russians, the Sochi Winter Olympics.
That's the coolest fucking medal of all time.
So far.
I kind of want to buy a fucking replica of that.
That's pretty sweet.
(37:34):
Yeah.
Anyways, can you pause it real quick?
Well, yeah. You got anything else?
Cause we're.
Yeah. There is something else I want to talk about.
All right. Here, I'll pause it.
I'll be real quick.
All right. What else do you want to talk about?
What do you think about that?
I mean, the fucking Flavor Flav,
you find out that one of the women's teams had to be,
they were part timers.
Because you know, you don't get paid until you perform.
(37:56):
Right. Yeah.
He actually just straight up sponsored them
so they can quit there,
so they can focus on the team full time.
That's pretty cool.
Yeah. I can't remember what team it was,
but yeah, I was like, oh shit, that's cool.
That's pretty sweet.
Wait, Flavor Flav is alive?
Literally my fucking thought process when I read that.
That is true. I thought he was dead.
Yeah.
Interesting.
(38:17):
I mean, do you remember the roast that he had?
Yeah, that was fucking like 20 years ago.
You looked ancient in that.
Yeah, that's true.
True story.
So, your opinion on this.
All right.
I somewhat get it, but at the same time, I'm like,
(38:37):
it shouldn't affect the quality of life.
Yeah.
What's the Olympics problem with people fucking?
Oh dude, that's true,
because they made those new beds where you can't fuck on them.
They made out of cardboard.
Ever since the Japan one.
I don't know, man.
Who cares?
This is literally the cream of the crop.
The most athletic people in the fucking world
(38:58):
are coming together.
I don't fuck.
Yeah. I don't get it.
And if, oh, we don't want people getting pregnant,
that's how we get better athletes.
That's true.
And honestly, the Olympics back in the day,
I mean, it was just a giant orgy anyways.
That's kind of a perk of going to the Olympics.
Yeah. It's always been like that.
(39:19):
I don't remember an Olympics.
I swear to God, they better not do that here.
That'd be terrible.
Yeah.
Like, have you seen the photos of their rooms?
No.
Look it up, dude.
Look up those fucking beds.
Literally look like they're made out of cardboard.
I've seen the beds.
They are actually indeed made out of cardboard.
Yeah.
And they are like, they're set up.
(39:39):
It's cardboard, but it's like these diamonds
or like these squares.
It's like this pattern.
It's just straight up cardboard, like up and down.
And then that's the base.
And then the bed mattress is like,
it's like this paper thin fucking thing.
And then they get this little tiny tissue as like a blanket.
And that's it.
And I'm like, man, you want these guys to go compete
at the top level and give them like the worst conditions
(40:01):
to sleep in?
Like, sleeping athlete.
I would just be like, now, listen, I'm gonna say this.
I think some guys said it best.
Like if it was me, I'm fucking, I'm going to the hotel room.
Yeah.
You know, LeBron's not sleeping on that.
Yeah, he for sure.
He's like, oh, I'm just gonna stay in a five star hotel.
I don't give a shit.
Like, fuck that noise.
(40:23):
Yeah.
Look at that shit.
Look at that.
It's terrible.
And then what about that bullshit
about them fucking forcing a vegan diet on them?
Yeah, I heard about, yeah, look, it's literally cardboard.
Yeah.
Over here, yeah.
Yeah, forcing some kind of...
They finally, they relented and they're...
My whole, my issue with that is one,
(40:43):
don't force your beliefs on others.
True.
And two, these athletes have spent the last four years
developing themselves on a specific diet,
on a specific program.
You're fucking that shit up
by forcing them to eat what you tell them to eat.
Yeah.
True.
Cause you're changing their habits or their diet or whatever.
(41:04):
Like, okay, let's just say a person was on a vegan diet
and then you try to force them to eat meat.
Sure, they're not opposed to eating meat,
but their diet required for their specific sport
required them to be on this specific diet.
Sure, they had no moral issue with it,
but their body had been surviving on nothing
but vegetables and shit for the last four years.
Suddenly introducing meat like that
(41:25):
is gonna fucking cause problems.
Problems, yeah.
Forcing someone who has been carboloading
and fucking protein binging, whatever,
let's say for the weight lifters,
let's say for the weight lifters,
Yeah.
You're forcing them to eat something,
probably vegetables six times as much food
as they're normally eating
just to get the same amount of protein
(41:46):
their body's been working off of.
Yeah, true.
So my whole thing is at this point,
these Olympics are kind of,
kind of nulled in my opinion.
Yeah.
There's too much interference.
That's true.
It's like they're trying to artificially level
the playing field. Yeah.
Which is stupid because you just let them be them
(42:06):
and do what they want.
And yeah, sure.
As long as nobody's doing steroids,
okay, cool, I get testing for that stuff.
But.
Like I remember was a while back when it was in China,
Usain Bolt refused to eat the Olympic food
and would only eat chicken nuggets from McDonald's
because it was the only way he could be sure
that he wasn't eating dog.
That's hilarious. Yeah.
Oh man.
(42:30):
I don't know, dude, I wouldn't eat anything in China.
Yeah, nah, fuck that.
Like no offense to Chinese.
It's just that I've,
the fact that they're getting their oil
from the sewage lines.
Yeah, that's pretty bad.
They're fucking refining sewage into oil.
Yeah, that's bad.
Disgusting.
Yeah.
(42:51):
Well, that's all I had to say on the matter.
Sweet. All right, cool.
We got 40, almost 43 minutes out of that.
So that's pretty good.
Cool.
All right, well, thank you guys for listening.

I actually get to be one of these.
Hooray!
(00:45):

So I was just cutting you off.
I was, but afterwards.
Oh, okay.
Yes, so let's welcome Frank, everybody.
Wee!
(01:07):
Anyways, if you wanna hear,
well, today we're gonna talk about the Olympics.
We're talking about the 2024 Olympics.
Well, briefly about it.
Something about it, and then yes, we're talking about it.
What else we can talk about?
Well, no, I just, I didn't think we'd do a whole,
like, hour on this.
Although we're gonna do, like, yeah,

The weather, 85 degrees.
Other than that, current air quality is unhealthy.
Wow, it's currently unhealthy in where we are at.
(02:12):
In Southern California, it is unhealthy.
This makes sense, because everything's on fire.
But anyways, go listen to the Anime Syndicate podcast
if you want.
So, the Olympics, Paris, 2024 Summer Olympics.
So before we get to the actual-
Meat and potatoes.
Sports of it.
Oh, you wanna talk about the opening-
(02:36):
Well, all the other shit has been going on.
Yeah, the opening ceremonies.
Yeah.
First of all, the Gojira shit was tight.
I haven't been able to see it because they-
You know why?
Yeah, I know exactly why.
Because of the guy's balls?
No, it wasn't even that.
It was because ever since this outrage
of the people being all pissed off
(02:56):
about trainees being involved,
they fucking, what's their names?
NBC or the, oh no, not NBC, the Olympic Committee.
Whoever runs the Olympics, it's like the IOC
or something, the International Olympic Committee,
they have been DCMA striking anyone who reposts anything
from that opening ceremony.
Not because of copyright, but because of the outrage
(03:20):
that it caused in people,
mostly people of Christian faith or Christ-centered faith
being upset that this was a depiction of, quote unquote,
the Last Supper with trannies.
So-
And then also the whole 666 thing with the lights.
Yeah, sure.
But I will say this.
(03:40):
The, what was, what they said they were actually depicting
was basically the last dinner at Dionysus is a Greek,
it's a Greek legend or a Greek mythology term, right?
Which obviously the Olympics are a Greek thing.
So I don't understand why people of Christian faith
(04:02):
are all pissy about this
because it wasn't even depicting the Last Supper.
It was a complete other thing that happened before,
quote unquote, the Last Supper canonically in history.
So if anything, all it does is just,
maybe this is why they're getting pissed off
because it just proves that the Christianity
stole elements of storytelling from Greek mythology.
Because these types of things
(04:24):
are not exclusive to Christianity.
And that's what is kind of upsetting in my book at least.
Cause it's like, dude, it's just the Olympics, man.
Like, it's not like, I don't think they were trying
to make like a religious or a political statement.
I think they were just trying to fucking do something
and quote unquote, be inclusive, I guess.
I don't know.
Now, the people that are upset about the guy's balls,
(04:44):
I do think that's funny
that the guy's balls were hanging out.
I mean, Janet Jackson was fined millions of dollars
for having a nipple come out on the Super Bowl.
I think this dude should suffer the same fate.
I don't think that,
cause not only is the Super Bowl, let's be honest,
Super Bowl is kind of like insular to America, right?
It's not really necessarily a huge international event.
(05:06):
The Olympics is a giant international worldwide event.
So I feel like this guy should maybe be tart and feathered
for having his balls hang out.
And I was arguing with somebody on Twitter
because they were so upset about the balls.
And I said, hey, did you ever see that movie, The Watchmen?
And they were like, yeah.
And I was like, so that was cool.
(05:26):
Like the guy with this big blue dick,
half the movie fucking hanging out and just walking around.
Oh, well, that's different.
Well, I mean, you're saying the balls hanging out.
I mean, sure.
I don't know if it was intentional
and I don't think anyone can say
whether or not it was intentional.
I will say that based on the way that thing was cut,
it's not like there was a hole for his balls to hang out.
It looked like they just squirted out the side
(05:48):
of his fucking tights or whatever.
Like is like...
Where the fuck he was wearing?
Yeah, cause it's like in wrestling.
It's the same thing in wrestling.
If you have your single tights,
like just your underwear type tights,
your balls can fly out of that
if you don't have it hooked up properly.
So, which is why people usually wear
like something underneath it.
(06:08):
This guy clearly was not doing that.
Maybe he just didn't know.
I don't know.
But I think...
How do you not feel one of your balls slip out?
That's true.
Well, okay, think about this though.
When you are in an adrenaline fueled situation like that,
because you're performing in front of basically the world,
right?
Maybe you don't even, maybe you just don't feel it.
You can be high on PCP.
You can be high on any kinds of drugs.
(06:29):
You can be full of adrenaline.
Anything happens to your nuts,
your full attention happens to it.
Yeah, that's true.
But what if it's just like,
because it was so loose that they just flipped out
and like, oh shit.
Every man knows the feeling of...
I mean, I will say,
I know the feeling you're right, of the wind.
Yes.
The wind on the balls, but...
Either way, I do think I should be tarred and feathered
(06:50):
for this.
Like, I don't think he did that on purpose.
Yeah.
But again, at the same time,
I think he was the whole,
I can't fix this because I would draw attention to it.
Yeah, so fuck it.
I'm just going to leave it and they're blue.
Hopefully they blend in with everything else
and we'll just pretend that this hopefully never happened.
How wrong that dude was.
How wrong he was.
And now he's going to be a meme.
(07:10):
He took a calculated risk,
but damn, was he bad at math.
Oh yeah.
He took a calculated risk not knowing how to do math.
That's what it was.
But at any rate...
But then going back to the whole thing,
like, it is kind of funny that it did kind of feel
like a biblical punishment in the sense,
in the sense that literally the day after all of Paris,
(07:35):
loses power.
Yeah, loses power and then...
The guy who's in charge of it gets hit by lightning.
Yeah, and then it's raining.
And then the river Seine is full of shit
and they can't fucking like,
they couldn't do some of the events in there.
I mean, that was very funny.
Yeah, I mean, it did seem like that.
It did seem biblical, didn't it?
Right, it did, which is funny.
(07:55):
I was hoping frogs would rain from the sky,
which would be ironic because frogs in France...
Yeah, I know what you're going for.
It wasn't funny, but I get you.
Oh, okay.
So I won't say it wasn't funny, it just wasn't clever.
Okay.
Anyways.
I don't think, you've been on one lately
for just taking the cheap jokes.
Yeah, it's fun for me.
(08:18):
Anyway, what else?
The Olympics, what else about the opening?
Gojira, yeah, tell me more about Gojira
since I didn't fucking actually get to see it.
Oh yeah, the fucking,
I was at the French consulate building or whatever it was.
That has those like little, those little fucking like,
for lack of a better term, patios.
Oh, like the balconies?
Yeah.
And literally they were just like all over,
(08:38):
it was just randomly on those things.
That's cool.
Each member which is in their plane.
It's fucking tight.
Yeah, that's pretty sweet.
Have you watched any of the events?
Couple.
I've been mostly watching the highlights
because I work during the day, so.
Yeah, and then sometimes they're in the middle of the night
because of the time difference or whatever.
(09:00):
But anyway, what have you been keeping track of anything?
Yeah, which is kind of weird.
So the United States is fourth right now with the medals.
Yeah.
Because we have nine gold medals.
Australia has 11 and France has 11.
And then the People's Republic of China has 13.
(09:22):
Grand total, we have 43 medals.
Yeah, we have the most medals, right?
Yeah, we have the, by,
China's, France is in explosives at 36.
I mean, the only thing that's pissing me off about this
(09:43):
is that we didn't even rank for the shooting galleries.
Dude, man, I did want to talk about that because I don't.
Every year we dominate in that one.
Yeah, but I don't, like, I didn't realize.
But yeah, sure, my earmuffs are on over there.
Because all our great shooters
have been shot from school shootings.
(10:03):
That's true, yeah, before they could even get out there.
Same reason how we never win in skateboarding
because our fucking, all our best, like,
pro skaters can't pass a drug test.
Yeah, and they refuse to stop doing drugs long enough
to fucking be able to pass one.
But I don't, I don't like,
I don't like the Olympic shooting competition now.
(10:26):
Well, the pellet and the 22.
I don't like either of them.
Neither do I.
Because it's almost like you are not even doing anything.
Mm-hmm.
What, like, I didn't even realize
they have this fucking lens on one eye
and they have this shade on the other.
And then you have this, like, super tricked out
(10:47):
22 long rifle or air pellet gun.
And it's got all this crazy shit on it.
And I'm like, I literally was like,
dude, when did Call of Duty become the fucking Olympics?
Like, I have the opposite feel.
I feel like it's,
you're making shooting,
because they have to have this special type of weapons,
guns, whatever.
(11:08):
Yeah, everyone has like the same rifle.
Yeah, you have to have that special stylized gun.
Yeah.
Which I think you're required for the Olympics.
Maybe, yeah, probably.
But I think that's stupid.
They're the same.
Hey, if you let us shoot glocks,
I'm sure we'll fucking be taking the locks.
(11:29):
If you let us shoot glocks and fucking ARs,
I'm sure we'd be killing everybody.
Mm-hmm, literally.
And what happened to pistols?
Isn't there used to be pistol competition?
Mm-hmm.
Is that gone?
Because now it's just like air rifle or 22.
Mm-hmm.
(11:50):
And I'm like, I think we need to go back
to 22 long rifle.
If that's what you're gonna use, that's fine.
But we need to go back to like iron sights
or like just basic scopes.
None of this extra superfluous shit.
And honestly-
(12:10):
Right, that guy from Turkey?
Yeah.
I'm not gonna show up in the uniform,
just show up in a shirt that's a turkey.
Yeah, it had a picture of an actual turkey on it
and it fucking shows up.
None of that fucking glasses.
Nope.
None of that fucking weird ass angle shit
that they do to pose.
I hate that, man.
That's terrible.
I remember when the US Army adopted the whole,
(12:33):
when they were trying to go away from foregrips
and they adopted the whole like-
Oh, that whole.
Yeah.
And you were all pissed about that.
I hate that, man.
Cool, now in comparison, is that better?
Oh, that's much better than this bullshit.
I mean- Is it more acceptable?
Yeah, 100% more acceptable.
I just don't think that's a comfortable shooting position.
Just personally, it's just, I don't know,
being down.
Well, it isn't meant for when you're cleaning rooms.
(12:55):
It's when you're behind cover
and you're holding the gun down to fight a rinse recoil.
Right, but then everybody adopted that
even when you're trying to clear rooms and do shit.
And I'm like, dude, I hate that.
I feel like your elbow is in there,
you're just gonna hit shit.
I don't know, but anyway.
And then there's the AK version of that where you go like this.
Yeah, you hold your thing,
you go underneath and you rack it from the other side.
(13:17):
No, I'm just saying that's,
because that's how they do the cocking.
So that's how they have to hold it like that.
They have to hold it like that.
But yeah, I don't get that, man.
It's very strange
and I wish we would just go back to no crazy nonsense.
I think just woodstock rifles,
just basic woodstock, no polymer.
There shouldn't be any.
I mean, that gun is entirely made of aluminum
(13:38):
or whatever, right?
Like aluminum.
Aluminum.
Aluminum.
I'm gonna look it up and see what that's actually made out of.
I'm curious now, but anyways, yeah, continue.
I'm just saying it should be fucking,
yeah, it should be like the woodstock guns.
The whole shooting competition should be a whole thing
about like doing it with iron sights.
Yeah.
Like it should be doing it with no anything.
(14:03):
What rifles are they using in Olympic level shooting?
Shooting 101, Olympic equipment.
Here we go.
God, man, like look at this thing.
It looks like a paintball gun.
It does.
Man, I,
it's a three position and okay, it's a small bore.
It can only weigh, it has to weigh no larger
(14:29):
than 17.6 pounds.
The air rifle is no bigger than 12.125 pounds.
For pistol, it's 22 caliber, air pistol, shotgun.
Oh yeah, they have shotgun.
Like a legit shotgun or?
It says shotgun trap, double trap and skeet.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, skeet shooting,
(14:51):
everything about that.
We didn't do that one yet.
They didn't do that one yet, did they?
I don't know.
Olympic skeet 2024.
Ah, skeet, skeet, skeet.
Oh, it's tomorrow.
Tomorrow's day two.
The US guy, we're in first place.
We're in first and second place.
First shooting?
Yeah, first shooting skeet, 17.6.
First shooting skeet, 75 and 74 points respectively.
(15:14):
Okay.
So we're probably, hopefully gonna take that.
We're hopefully gonna take skeet shooting.
As rightfully so, considering that we invented
the war crime stick known as the shotgun,
as you like to call it.
The trench gun, you mean?
Yeah, the trench gun.
Shotgun existed before the trench gun.
Yeah.
That one was the war crime stick.
Right.
So very fitting that we should hopefully win that.
(15:37):
So what do you think about fucking the US taking wins
in odd sports and shit?
Like what, give me an example.
Like sports that we shouldn't be good at.
Like, was it the last Olympics we won gold
in fucking curling?
Oh yeah, that's true, because that's a Canadian thing.
And this year we won fucking bronze in fucking rugby?
(16:01):
Yeah, rugby, huh?
The women's version, but still.
Still, we don't, like rugby's not a mainstream thing here.
Dude, we even took two gold medals in fencing.
In, oh, fencing?
Fencing's, that's cool.
Yeah, but our nation wasn't created by the sword,
it was created by the gun.
Yeah, that's true.
That's a European thing.
That's true.
(16:23):
But we still decided to just get better
and whoop everybody's ass at it.
Got a silver in fucking women's BMX freestyle.
BMX freestyle?
Yeah.
That's pretty good.
Yeah.
So far the only medal we have for sure
is the silver in shooting.
The 50 millimeter, or 50 meter rifle three position women.
(16:46):
Damn, a lot of our big medals are from our women's sports.
Yeah, the US women's teams have been kicking ass.
Yeah.
What else?
Wow, Mexico's 35th.
Huh?
Mexico's 35th.
35th?
Yeah.
Who's in last place?
(17:07):
Who has the least amount of medals?
This only goes up to the,
this only lists the top 50.
Okay.
And the bottom of that is, there is a four way tie.
For what?
Austria, Egypt, Portugal, and Slovakia.
They all have one bronze medal.
(17:29):
Austria has it in judo.
Egypt has it in fencing.
Portugal has it in judo as well.
And Slovakia has it in canoe saloon.
Come on, thing.
2024 Olympics.
(17:50):
Wow.
That's funny.
Ukraine has two medals.
A bronze in fencing and a silver in shooting.
Ha!
And they're in the middle of a war right now.
That is pretty funny.
Did Russia was allowed to participate under that?
No, so under some other thing.
Whatever it was called.
(18:11):
Yeah, it's like.
What was it called?
It's like the Russian, it's like RO.
Russian Federation thing.
It's like the Russian Olympic.
Committee.
Something maybe.
I don't know, let's see.
But I don't know if they're allowed to win medals.
Look at that, North Korea even has a medal.
Look at that, North Korea even has two fucking medals.
Yeah, I saw that.
(18:31):
One, a silver and a fucking,
another silver in diving and table tennis.
That makes sense.
Fucking ping pong.
That does make a lot of sense.
And our good buddies in Belgium have two medals.
Oh, three.
Three medals actually.
Three medals, huh?
Yeah, it took the gold in cycling road.
Oh, nice.
(18:51):
They took the bronze in judo.
Wow.
Sorry, no, they took the silver in judo.
Wow, that's pretty good.
Man, is Poland even on here?
Yeah, they have four medals.
(19:12):
Silver in canoe saloon, whatever it is.
Bronze in fencing, bronze in rowing, and bronze in tennis.
That's pretty good.
That's pretty legit.
Oh, look, the Josh of Europe also,
of NATO also has two medals.
Who is that?
Turkey.
Oh, Turkey.
What do they got them in?
(19:33):
They have a bronze in archery and a silver in shooting.
That's not bad.
Yeah.
France, home country.
Number two.
Yeah, that's not a bias, is it, Dean?
Yeah, exactly.
Man, we can't let China, we cannot let China win, man.
(19:54):
We can't let China get the most gold.
I mean, granted, we will likely take the most medals,
but we can't let these other gutter snipes
get more gold medals than us.
Who's hosting the next one?
It'll be the 2026 Winter Olympics, I believe.
Let's do 2026 Winter Olympics.
That's gonna be in Milano Cortina in...
(20:19):
I guess that's...
Wait, is an upcoming international multi-sport...
What the fuck, what country?
San Siro, Verona, is that Italy, maybe?
Location, yeah, opened by the president of Italy,
so it'll be in Italy, I guess, and then...
(20:40):
Does Italy even have snow?
Yeah, it snows in Italy.
I'm genuinely asking, I don't know.
Yeah.
Oh, guess where they're gonna be in 2028
for the Summer Olympics?
North Korea?
No, Los Angeles.
Oh yeah, they're rebuilding a...
They're building a whole new stadium for it.
We should try to go, just to see.
(21:02):
Hey, Katie.
Katie!
Hey, are you down to go to the Olympics in 2028
because they're gonna be in LA?
Okay!
All right, cool.
All right, we're going.
We're just talking about how the women's team
is just fucking killing it right now.
Women's team is...
Everything.
The majority of our medals are women's team.
Yeah, yeah, all right, sweet.
Well, stay tuned for four years from now
(21:25):
when we go to LA Olympics and give you live coverage.
That'd be pretty sweet.
Yeah.
Maybe I can get us press passes by then.
Hey, you never know.
I'm gonna start looking into that now.
And then after that, they're gonna be in the French Alps
in 2030 for the Winter Olympics.
(21:46):
That's actually a good spot for it.
I think so too.
No.
Shit, and then they're gonna be in Australia
for the Summer Olympics in 2032 again.
Curious.
Curious.
(22:09):
Anyways, what else was I gonna say about the Olympics?
That boxer.
Oh yeah, there was this controversy,
which I don't quite understand what the problem is.
I've been reading up about it
because she is from...
(22:30):
Boxer Olympics.
I think she's from, not Armenia.
The lady she fought was from, oh, she's Algerian.
Yeah, she's from a country where you get executed
for being LGBTQ.
Right.
And okay, here's the other thing.
(22:52):
If you look at her, yeah, sure, man,
she kind of has face, she kind of looks like a guy, right?
She has male features.
But if you look at an example of like,
if you look at Brock Lesnar's daughter,
Yeah, exactly what I was gonna say.
Dead fucking like him.
And you can't tell that she is a biological woman.
And just because you maybe look like a man
or have some features that maybe you got a square jaw
(23:14):
or whatever as a female,
if you were born female,
that's all that the Olympics requires
is your biological sex at birth,
like what you were assigned at birth.
So if you're like, let's just say,
this is obviously a weird extreme example,
but if you're like a hermaphrodite and you have both,
whatever sex you are given at birth is what,
(23:36):
so if you have both and you're assigned female,
then you're female, right?
Now granted, there's like very few people
I think there's been like two in the history of humanity.
Right, I mean, it's not something that's common, but-
Which is on a side tangent.
Again, I don't, it's another example
of things being biblical.
Yeah.
(23:57):
That we have examples of hermaphrodites like that.
And that's the trope that most angels will have
in the Bible.
That they're hermaphrodites?
That they have both parts.
Yeah.
Well, I think it's the Luminions that have that.
Oh, right, right, right.
Okay, I know it's just a side tangent,
(24:17):
like goddamn, like.
That is strange, right, if you think about it.
Cause what ended up happening was,
she was, she won the International Boxing Association
(24:39):
Women's World Championship in 2023.
She won it.
And then they disqualified her later by saying
that she didn't meet the eligibility rules
because she had too high level of a testosterone
in her system supposedly.
Which again, that's not something that is common.
Now granted, there could be logical explanation reasons
(25:02):
for that.
She could have been juicing.
I mean, women that take steroids do take testosterone.
They do take all the same-
What?
They're pretty good.
Yeah, goobers are fucking great, man.
Excellent candy.
That's the first time I've had them.
They were like, they were a dollar on the door
that I was supposed to fuck it.
Yeah, fuck it.
There was this and snow caps.
Yeah, snow caps are good too.
I killed those right away.
(25:28):
The possibility that she was maybe juicing
is probably the explanation for that.
Even, okay.
For the sake of the people who are making these arguments.
Yeah.
Let's take out the equation though, that she was juicing.
Is it an unfair advantage if she was a woman
(25:49):
that was able to produce testosterone?
I don't think so.
It's you naturally produce it.
But it's not a common trait that women have though.
It's not.
Now granted, yes, sure.
It is an advantage 100% that you have.
What I was saying, it is an advantage, right?
But I don't think that it's advantage enough
that you should be disqualified
from fucking competing in sport
just because you have that.
(26:09):
You're one of the few people
that may have that genetic defect,
if you wanna call it that.
My counter to that is what's his name?
That giant ass, the Asian player.
Oh, Yao Ming?
Yao Ming.
China literally bred him.
Yeah.
They told the tallest man,
hey, you need to have a baby with this tallest woman.
Tallest woman, yeah.
(26:32):
In my eyes, I'm like, okay, how's that okay?
But if this woman is able to self-make testosterone,
she has that rare trait,
wouldn't her country want her to start producing athletes
of that line?
Yeah, of course.
Not just in boxing.
Hey, we need to make a version of her that plays baseball.
(26:52):
A version of her that plays.
And there's that argument too about Yao Ming.
It's like, okay, in the NBA,
oh, because Shaq's too tall or Yao Ming's too tall,
should they not be allowed to play?
They didn't do anything to be that tall.
That's just how they are.
That's how they are.
So I don't think that she should be banned because of this.
And it's not like she's fighting
out of her weight class either, right?
(27:13):
Right, she's in the same weight class
as whoever she's fighting.
Don't get me wrong, I felt bad for that girl that quit
because who was fighting for her in her dad's memory.
Yeah.
But it sucks people just sometimes
have a genetic advantage.
Yeah, and also, I don't understand
why the chick she was fighting just took one punch
and then just said, I quit.
(27:34):
That's fucked.
That's fucked.
It's, well, you ever seen Kimbo Slice fight?
Yeah, but I mean like-
Literally, his first fight ever
that Showtime version of MMA.
Yeah.
He hit the guy once,
went down on the ground and just tapped out.
Yeah, weak.
I don't understand why you would do that.
Like-
It was, that's how-
(27:54):
Now granted, that's for money.
Yeah.
If you're gonna say this is for something more than money,
this is for you.
Symbolism.
This is for you doing this for your dad or for your country.
Like, you can't just give up.
You gotta knock me out.
Like that's, you know what I'm saying?
Like if I was in there in the men's boxing for America,
you gotta knock me the fuck out to get me out of there.
I might lose on points in the end or whatever,
(28:16):
but I'm not gonna throw in the towel and quit.
I'm representing my country here.
Like I'm representing everybody.
I'm supposed to be the best of everyone.
And now, oh, you just threw in the towel.
You just quit.
You just said all the, I think she's Italian,
all the Italy's acquitters.
The best boxer in Italy is acquitter.
Fucking quitter.
And then just was like, pissed.
(28:36):
And that's where I think what started this whole rumor
going around that this lady was a transgender person
or whatever.
Just to insult her?
Yeah.
I feel bad for her because people are calling her,
oh, she's a man.
I should have like, that's gotta hit her.
Yeah, of course it does.
Like that's gotta fuck her up, you know?
(28:56):
But the International Boxing Association was recognized
by the International Olympic Committee
as the governing body for the sport of boxing
up until 2019.
And the IOC suspended its recognition of them.
And it was the first, wow,
it was the first international federation to be expelled
from the Olympic movement.
I like how nobody's even mentioning the Americans
(29:21):
female boxer for the heavyweight division.
Yeah.
And no one's batting an eye on her.
What'd she look like?
Brock Lesnar's daughter?
That's not real.
That's Mike Tyson from Scaly 4.
That's not real.
That would be funny though.
The rumor mill, because I haven't found anything
(29:43):
that confirms it about Mike Tyson saying
that he would fight her.
That lady?
Yeah.
I mean.
He says that he would fight,
because there's the whole thing in saying
that she's a man.
Yeah.
Saying that he would fight him
and the proceeds will go to a battered women's charity.
But like he would just be beating a woman
because she's a woman.
Okay.
There's no evidence backing this up.
(30:03):
And yeah.
I, like I said, I think that just goes to discredit.
Like, you know what I'm saying?
Which is fucked.
Yeah.
If anything now, I'm actually kind of rooting for her now.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, she won.
So she won the whole thing.
That was a fight.
If anything, it made me want to vote for her.
Yeah.
Cause now she's getting fucked over by the fucking man
who people think that they're like,
(30:25):
oh yeah, we'll just say she's a tranny
and then it'll be good.
The boxing federation
paid that lady who quit,
they paid her the $50,000 prize.
They didn't give it to her?
Well, no, because they're banned from the Olympics now.
So they said, we're going to pay out of our pockets,
the 50 grand that the Olympics should have paid her
because this lady should have been disqualified
(30:46):
for being a man, basically is what they said.
So they paid the lady who won number two,
the $50,000 prize.
Wow.
Which is like, I mean, obviously they're just giving
the finger to the Olympics because they're pissed
because the Olympics, you know, cut them off and said,
nah, no more, you're done.
I don't know why.
Is there any reason as to why they chose to cut them off?
The same reason they, they make it harder.
(31:06):
They made that boxing, baseball, skateboarding,
basically everything that we dominated,
they add rules to prevent our professional athletes
from playing.
I got you.
Because basketball, we never lost
until they banned professional players.
Yeah.
But now they're back in, so.
Yeah, after all of them died and retired.
(31:28):
Yeah, and because they were like,
oh, you know what, this sucks now.
Nobody watches the basketball Olympics.
We need to fucking get them back in.
I mean, did LeBron even play?
Yeah, he's in it this year.
Yeah, I was gonna say, I'm asking,
does he play in this here?
Men's basketball Olympics.
Let me just look real quick because I'm curious.
Let's see.
USA, let's see.
(31:48):
Who, who do you love?
So they're still playing right now.
Oh shit, they do three on three too?
Yeah.
Damn, are we in three on three?
Yeah, we're in everything, dude.
We're in everything.
I think that's why we normally win so many medals
is because we dominate in those kinds of sports.
Yeah, so next week on Tuesday, the sixth,
(32:09):
that's when the quarterfinals for the men's
and then the, whatchamacallit,
the semis will be on the eighth
and then the gold medal game will be on Saturday the 10th.
Cool.
So that's kind of cool.
I wanna know who is the men's Olympic qualifying tournaments?
Where, who's on the team?
(32:34):
Let's see, does it tell me the roster?
Let me do 2024.
Let me just look this up.
Okay, Google.
2024 men's.
Who's playing on the US Olympic basketball team,
men's division?
Oh man, we're gonna destroy everybody, dude.
We have Steph Curry, fucking.
USA men's Olympic basketball team.
(32:56):
The 2024 USA men's Olympic basketball team
is stacked with NBA superstars.
Yeah, stacked.
Yeah, dude, Steph Curry, Anthony Edwards,
LeBron James, Jason Tatum, Kevin Durant,
Derek White, Tyrese Halliburton, Joe Embiid,
and then the backups, Drew Holliday, Bama Adobeo,
(33:17):
Anthony Davis, Devin Booker.
Coaching staff is Steve Kerr from the Golden State Warriors,
Mark Few from the Gonzaga Bulldogs college team,
Tyrone Lu from the LA Clippers,
and Eric Spolstra from the Miami Heat.
Those are the coaches of the fucking team.
And we're gonna, we better fucking win gold in this.
I mean, that's all I have to say.
(33:38):
But it sucks too, cause like with baseball,
I mean like the world baseball classic is cool
because it lets all of the countries have their pro players,
their best players, whether pro or amateur,
whoever's the best of the best gets on this team
and they go fight it out.
And then yes, Japan kicks our ass every year,
but like, or has been kicking our ass.
But I just think that there's, we don't have,
(34:01):
it's not the same as like being on the Olympic team.
So like guys don't generally wanna go do it.
It's like, yeah, Trout goes and does it
cause he's the ambassador of the MLB basically
on the West Coast.
He's like the American league ambassador.
He's the good guy.
He's like the John Cena.
He goes and does all the fucking kiss events
and you know, fucking make a wish and all that stuff.
So he's gonna go do that cause that's like a PR event.
(34:24):
But the guys like Shohei was on the Japanese team,
obviously, so like that's where he's gonna keep playing.
But that's also the thing with the MLB.
They don't let you play on the Olympic.
Yeah, which sucks.
Well, I mean, it happens during the fucking season, but.
Like if your team's already eliminated, like the angels.
Just let them go, man.
Like who cares?
So I don't know.
(34:47):
If I was there, I would let the,
at the very least let the triple A players play.
Yeah. I mean, fuck that.
That'd get them some cool exposure.
And let them earn money.
Yeah, yeah.
Cause they get paid to be on the Olympic team.
So it's not much, but.
Was it like, you said it was $50,000 for the singles.
That was for the singles for like boxing.
For singles, I know.
I think they pay.
(35:08):
How much do Olympic baseball players get paid?
Oh yeah.
How do the medals look this year?
They don't look bad, but they are just gold plated.
Oh, they're just plated?
Yeah. They're not even solid gold anymore.
Wow.
Which fucking sucks, man.
Cause.
I hate to say, but you know who had the best medals?
(35:30):
Fucking Russia.
Oh yeah.
The one that had the piece of that meteorite
that fucking.
Yeah.
Like destroyed half of Russia.
Yeah.
Olympic medal.
How do you say this?
Olympic medal look.
Yeah.
Design. There we go.
That's what it is.
The medals of Paris 2024.
Yeah. This is what they look like.
(35:51):
They look pretty cool.
Yeah. They don't look bad, but.
I'm not going to lie.
Like it does look like it's made of tin foil.
Yeah. Cause it is.
It's gold plate.
It's just gold plated.
They're not solid gold.
And I like how it's funny how everybody's like doing
the bite thing, you know, which is the test to see
if it's, if it's real or not.
When it's like, it's kind of not.
You can tell that's doing it soft.
Yeah. They're like, ah, we don't want to, you know.
Well, they don't own it yet either.
(36:11):
Oh yeah.
Those aren't the medals.
Like you have to, your, what normally happens is that
when you win the Olympics,
your country has to pay for the medal.
Oh, okay.
So it sucks for like countries like Ethiopia
and shit like that.
That does suck.
Cause they can't afford it.
Man, the Olympics should just give it to them, man.
(36:32):
Tom only did.
I know, but still.
Like your wife said it's all corrupt.
Yep. True story.
Can you?
Oh man. 1896 Athens, Greece.
Did you pull up the Russian one?
Yeah. Hold on.
I was going to see if it was this one here.
Oh dude, this one's fucking cool from 1928
in the Netherlands.
That one's pretty dope.
Tokyo. Oh, the Tokyo Japan one's kind of cool.
(36:53):
Didn't that one have this one in the reactor?
Yeah, probably.
That's the China in 2008.
Winner. Let's see.
That's in Japan.
That's in France.
Beijing, China.
Those are actually pretty cool.
Yeah. Those are not bad.
Oh, this one.
Yeah. Sochi, Russia.
These ones were the coolest, man.
Yeah. That silver thing is the actual meteorite.
Yeah. That's pretty dope.
It was the number one.
(37:14):
They look like, they look like fucking like.
That's cool. Cause it's like two different,
the Japan, 1998 Nagano Japan.
Yeah. I get what they're going for,
but that looks like something you get
out of a McDonald's Happy Meal.
Yeah. As I was saying, this one's the coolest.
Yeah. I would have to give it to the Russians.
The Russians, the Sochi Winter Olympics.
That's the coolest fucking medal of all time.
So far.
I kind of want to buy a fucking replica of that.
That's pretty sweet.
(37:34):
Yeah.
Anyways, can you pause it real quick?
Well, yeah. You got anything else?
Cause we're.
Yeah. There is something else I want to talk about.
All right. Here, I'll pause it.
I'll be real quick.
All right. What else do you want to talk about?
What do you think about that?
I mean, the fucking Flavor Flav,
you find out that one of the women's teams had to be,
they were part timers.
Because you know, you don't get paid until you perform.
(37:56):
Right. Yeah.
He actually just straight up sponsored them
so they can quit there,
so they can focus on the team full time.
That's pretty cool.
Yeah. I can't remember what team it was,
but yeah, I was like, oh shit, that's cool.
That's pretty sweet.
Wait, Flavor Flav is alive?
Literally my fucking thought process when I read that.
That is true. I thought he was dead.
Yeah.
Interesting.
(38:17):
I mean, do you remember the roast that he had?
Yeah, that was fucking like 20 years ago.
You looked ancient in that.
Yeah, that's true.
True story.
So, your opinion on this.
All right.
I somewhat get it, but at the same time, I'm like,
(38:37):
it shouldn't affect the quality of life.
Yeah.
What's the Olympics problem with people fucking?
Oh dude, that's true,
because they made those new beds where you can't fuck on them.
They made out of cardboard.
Ever since the Japan one.
I don't know, man.
Who cares?
This is literally the cream of the crop.
The most athletic people in the fucking world
(38:58):
are coming together.
I don't fuck.
Yeah. I don't get it.
And if, oh, we don't want people getting pregnant,
that's how we get better athletes.
That's true.
And honestly, the Olympics back in the day,
I mean, it was just a giant orgy anyways.
That's kind of a perk of going to the Olympics.
Yeah. It's always been like that.
(39:19):
I don't remember an Olympics.
I swear to God, they better not do that here.
That'd be terrible.
Yeah.
Like, have you seen the photos of their rooms?
No.
Look it up, dude.
Look up those fucking beds.
Literally look like they're made out of cardboard.
I've seen the beds.
They are actually indeed made out of cardboard.
Yeah.
And they are like, they're set up.
(39:39):
It's cardboard, but it's like these diamonds
or like these squares.
It's like this pattern.
It's just straight up cardboard, like up and down.
And then that's the base.
And then the bed mattress is like,
it's like this paper thin fucking thing.
And then they get this little tiny tissue as like a blanket.
And that's it.
And I'm like, man, you want these guys to go compete
at the top level and give them like the worst conditions
(40:01):
to sleep in?
Like, sleeping athlete.
I would just be like, now, listen, I'm gonna say this.
I think some guys said it best.
Like if it was me, I'm fucking, I'm going to the hotel room.
Yeah.
You know, LeBron's not sleeping on that.
Yeah, he for sure.
He's like, oh, I'm just gonna stay in a five star hotel.
I don't give a shit.
Like, fuck that noise.
(40:23):
Yeah.
Look at that shit.
Look at that.
It's terrible.
And then what about that bullshit
about them fucking forcing a vegan diet on them?
Yeah, I heard about, yeah, look, it's literally cardboard.
Yeah.
Over here, yeah.
Yeah, forcing some kind of...
They finally, they relented and they're...
My whole, my issue with that is one,
(40:43):
don't force your beliefs on others.
True.
And two, these athletes have spent the last four years
developing themselves on a specific diet,
on a specific program.
You're fucking that shit up
by forcing them to eat what you tell them to eat.
Yeah.
True.
Cause you're changing their habits or their diet or whatever.
(41:04):
Like, okay, let's just say a person was on a vegan diet
and then you try to force them to eat meat.
Sure, they're not opposed to eating meat,
but their diet required for their specific sport
required them to be on this specific diet.
Sure, they had no moral issue with it,
but their body had been surviving on nothing
but vegetables and shit for the last four years.
Suddenly introducing meat like that
(41:25):
is gonna fucking cause problems.
Problems, yeah.
Forcing someone who has been carboloading
and fucking protein binging, whatever,
let's say for the weight lifters,
let's say for the weight lifters,
Yeah.
You're forcing them to eat something,
probably vegetables six times as much food
as they're normally eating
just to get the same amount of protein
(41:46):
their body's been working off of.
Yeah, true.
So my whole thing is at this point,
these Olympics are kind of,
kind of nulled in my opinion.
Yeah.
There's too much interference.
That's true.
It's like they're trying to artificially level
the playing field. Yeah.
Which is stupid because you just let them be them
(42:06):
and do what they want.
And yeah, sure.
As long as nobody's doing steroids,
okay, cool, I get testing for that stuff.
But.
Like I remember was a while back when it was in China,
Usain Bolt refused to eat the Olympic food
and would only eat chicken nuggets from McDonald's
because it was the only way he could be sure
that he wasn't eating dog.
That's hilarious. Yeah.
Oh man.
(42:30):
I don't know, dude, I wouldn't eat anything in China.
Yeah, nah, fuck that.
Like no offense to Chinese.
It's just that I've,
the fact that they're getting their oil
from the sewage lines.
Yeah, that's pretty bad.
They're fucking refining sewage into oil.
Yeah, that's bad.
Disgusting.
Yeah.
(42:51):
Well, that's all I had to say on the matter.
Sweet. All right, cool.
We got 40, almost 43 minutes out of that.
So that's pretty good.
Cool.
