Speaker 3 (00:35):
The Olympics. Olympics music. That's the best I could do.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Something like that, yea.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
So they start on July twenty six in Paris.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Tiff and I did it bandswerk with the girls earlier
this year or actually that was last year. Now it
looks good, oh sure was. Hopefully there's no bad bugs.
We didn't have any bad bugs, but we heard things
about bag bugs.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
But hopefully y'all.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Can run clear from those like Shakiri. I'll get to
that later, but July twenty sixth to August eleventh, and
I wanted to talk about some Olympics flashback moments because
we were seeing some of these things.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
How many Olympics have we seen, y'all? I don't.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
The one I remember most was when I met Dominique
Dawes in nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Where'd you meet her?
Speaker 4 (01:16):
I didn't meet her. I met her on TV in Atlanta.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
I thought, yeah, never mind, I thought you actually met her.
Of course we do, but I thought you actually met her?
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Okay, but you didn't go to the Olympics. So nineteen
ninety six, Atlanta, tip, what about you?
Speaker 2 (01:31):
The first Olympics? I remember Flow Joe in what was that,
eighty eight eighty, the late eighty eighty it was eighty okay.
She I just remember her being so pretty, She had
these nails, she was running, you know, and it was
any Even in the eighties, seeing people who look like
us do anything was still a big deal. This wasn't
(01:53):
social media. This was before every household had cable, you know.
And I just remember watching her, literally Flow. I watched
Flow Joel Flow.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
I would like to know, as our resident sports experts,
please Trivia, I'm here to serve.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
What answer for you?
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Do you remember what races Flow ran in the Olympics?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Absolutely, she ran the track, uh in field race?
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Which race? In the track and field race?
Speaker 2 (02:23):
She ran the one hundred meter dash? You sure, no,
but that's race. I know.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
She ran und two hundred Oh boom.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I'm because I'm so good. You are knowing when I
don't even really be knowing.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
She was the four by four team.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Okay, I don't remember the four by four, but I
believe it.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Yeah, she was four by four Angela. Let me tell
you what she was running though. She was running circles
around these holes on fashion, Yes she was.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
She would come.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Through like the hood, the bodysuit, the one, the one.
I'm definitely the nails, but I'm talking about the looks.
Like all I wanted to do was be like flow Joe.
So I respect that moment. We haven't. Well, we have
a new flow Joe. I'm gonna get to my flash back.
We have a new flow jo now. And she Carrie Richardson,
and I just want to shout out this young sister
(03:17):
because she has gone through so much. She had a
great loss. I believe it was her grandmother who passed
when during Olympic trials last time, and not the Olympic
trials either.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
What was that was her mom. Yeah, I'm pretty sure
it was her.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Mom had okay, give me together, sports expert, give me together.
But the point is now to see her making the
kind of comeback that she's having.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
It's like more polished.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
They can't come at her about no wei, they can't
come at her about anything but being her very best.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
She won a rasee.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
I think it was one hundred that she won and
ran and then she just had like this fall from
grace that you you know, and you saw her getting
dragged in the media and on social media andrew to
the point of a recent podcast episode in ways that
just are unimaginable for any young woman to face. And
now she's made this comeback. She is bold, she's dope.
(04:12):
She is winning left and right, and she's humble about
it and incredible still in her on her platform.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
So I just want to shout her out.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Yes, such less at home in her person.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
How about that? Come on?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
So it was her mom. It was a week before
her Olympic tryouts.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Her grandmother is always at her race as you're right.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
She was raised by her grandmother and her But a
week before Olympic trials her she spoke out and said
that her mom had passed away.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Yeah, well she is now.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
She is back with the vengeance and we expect to
see great things from she.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Carrie.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
So my flashback moment is the Dream Team. So I
think you all will probably remember. But before nineteen ninety two,
the Olympics had the United States Olympic team would always
have basketball players from college, right They never and so
they would win some, they would lose some, and somebody
(05:06):
was like, well, why can't we play our pros. They
decided that year that NBA players should make the team.
And this particular Olympics was incredible for me. Nineteen ninety two.
They had Magic, they had Jordan, they had John Stockton,
they had Karl Malone, they had Patrick Ewing, they had
Larry Bird.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
I mean McDonald did.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Not have Isaiah.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Yes, good, they did not. Okay, do we know why
do you want to tell us sports expert?
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Well, this is only for my super insiders when it
comes to sports. Purportedly because of the beef between Jordan
and Isaiah Thomas or was it Magic and Isaiah Thomas,
because both they both had beef, and they both had
(05:55):
beef because the Pistons, who Isaiah Thomas played for, walked
off the court without shaking hands with the Chicago Bulls.
M HM, and Magic and Isaiah were cool. But then
when they played each other in the game, they got
into a little tussle, and so I guess they figure
Magic and Jordan, we don't want Isaiah Thomas. You're welcome
(06:18):
for that inside note that is so good.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
There was one college player selected on this team too.
It was Christian Latner, who to this day, I'm sorry, Christian,
I still don't like you because you stepped on that
black man's chest from Kentucky back in the day.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
I still don't fool with you like that.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
What is that story.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
I'll tell you about it on another time because I
just want to get to my dream his story, but
I want you all to know that he was chosen.
Just like Clyde Drexer was chosen over Isaiah Thomas, Christian
Latner was chosen over Shack. I know they regret that
because Christian Layner did not show up in the NBA
like he did at Duke. So I digress. Now, the
dream Team, this particular dream team, meant everything to me,
(06:54):
and I think to so many kids adults alike all
over the country. McDonald's. He even had the promos like
they were going in hard. But this particular team, I
don't know if y'all remember, but Magic Johnson announced he
was retiring from the NBA in the fall of nineteen
ninety one. This team was announced before his retirement announcement
(07:16):
related to HIV AIDS and they still had Magic play.
So it was our opportunity to see Magic play even
after he retired from the league, and it was in.
It was an incredible showing. And I'll tell y'all, I
don't know if y'all noticed. Magic Johnson is my favorite
basketball player of all times. I traded my cousin Leanne
(07:37):
her my Michael Jordan card for her Magic Johnson basketball card.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
That's how much of a Magic Johnson I was.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Because he was my favorite player. I wanted the Magic
Johnson basketball card. Noven I made him your favorite player.
Oh oh, I thought you were saying, why did I
do the trade?
Speaker 3 (07:50):
No, he was my.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Favorite player because he played with such like flawless grace,
the way he did the no look passes, and he
always I think I feel like he always preferred his
teammates above himself. He was always happy. I loved his energy.
He was dope handles.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Like he just he was. He was smooth.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
He was smooth, and he knew he knew how to
do the skyhook, which, according to HBO scripted series Winning Time,
he was taught by Kareem Abd.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
You got it.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
According to the Winning Time series, did y'all watch Winning Time?
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Yes? I actually did watch it. I understand maginicing them
don't like it that much.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Hey what, I don't understand why that's so good?
Speaker 3 (08:37):
I mean, they make magic look a little out here,
look at but you better watch it. That's still magic.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
I just.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
I just got to tell you all feel about magic.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Has a six summertime vacation with friends that I would love.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
They knew that vacation looks so fun. Our girl Hollie
Robinson is on there.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
It's like fifty couples on a yacht.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Miss Tina be there.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Yes, yeah, you all right, y'all.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
We're gonna take a quick break and we'll be right back.
So any well, here's the thing. Before we get too
far down the road on the yachts, I wanted to
get back to the Olympics and just ask y'all, what
are you looking for with this particular Olympics season. I'm
(09:30):
gonna set election season, see how we condition see how
we conditioned with this Olympics. What are y'all looking forward to?
What competition? Which player, which star? Which who are you
looking forward to seeing? What you're looking forward to seeing?
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Well, I know the answer to this, but I'll ask
you guys, for the benefit of our viewers. Do they
still do the Dream Team?
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Then I'm looking forward to that.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Okay, all right, I feel like it's.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
A little on a dif. What's his name from the Knicks,
Jaylen Brunson. I want to see him on the Dream Team?
Have they announced the Dream Team? They have annound the
Dream Team. Let's look at who's on this year's basketball team.
You want to know the women are the are the men?
Because there's a women? Well, I know who's not on
the women's team. Kaitlyn Clark didn't make it. But Angel
Reese didn't make it either. And though like I care
(10:16):
about Angel Reese the most, just because I've heard the
most about her, I don't know a lot of the
other w NBA players for the NBA.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Hold on, I'm trying to pull this up.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Uh, Okay, So the NBA who is Bam bam out
of bio from the Heat, Devin Booker from the Suns,
Steph Curry, Anthony Davis, Kevin Durant, Anthony Edward Jewel, and
b Tyrese Halliburton.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Okay, I know Tyrese Haliburton because he plays for the Pacers.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Oh, I didn't finish Drew Holliday, Lebron Kawhi Leonard, and
Jason Tatum.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
So you're beloved. Jalen Brunson will not be on this No.
I didn't think he was, but I went to double check.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
He needs to rest up for next season. Ok So,
now the NBA Draft is this week. There's no chance
that any of those people will make it, too, because
the team is already selected.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
The team is selected.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Okay, all right, we want to talk about the women's players.
Yes please, all right, let's see women's olympe manskin. All right, girl,
let's see who's on this team? Because I don't remember either.
Say that's funny. There's literally a Google resort. Why is
Caitlin Clark not going to the Olympics. Here we go,

to know why Don ain't coaching?
Speaker 2 (12:05):
How do they pick the coaches for these things?
Speaker 1 (12:08):
You know, that's a great question. I don't know they
answer that.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
It's a great we if y'all know, drop a comment
and tell us if y'all know how coaches are.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
No, it ain't a popularity contest, no changes, But yeah,
I would definitely like to love to see Don and
Asia Wilson is the best in the league.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Got a shoe dropping? I mean, come on, question.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Do we want.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
To go to the congratulations to miss Chell and Brittany.

Do we want to go to the Olympics?
Speaker 3 (12:38):

your fifty three dollars?

distribution to Bed and Fox. We wait here, y'all get
a little gofund me crowd fund amongst your sales and
get back to us so we can get y'all some
good content on these I think I.
Speaker 3 (12:55):

Speaker 2 (12:58):
Oh, that would be so.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Good to be.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
So like, Okay, there's like on the soccer field. They're like,

Speaker 2 (13:11):
Okay, guys, we see him coming down the field and

that happens among some of these soccer players on the field.
We talked about it on Native lampod You can catch
it anywhere you get your podcast. But wait here he
comes goa know they know who it is because they're
(13:34):

Speaker 1 (13:37):
Number. Give me a number. Number. Okay, now, tip take
me to the softball field. What's happening to softball?
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Is the softball? Okay?
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I actually don't know been in the basis com and
around im question that fire.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
In my Hearts podcast cover.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
We just got kicked off doing Olympic coverage because they
seriously should send us.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Oh, softball is in the Olympics. I don't know why.
I doubt it myself.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
I noticed, I'll notice in the Olympics. But they ain't
got me on basketball anyway.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Okay, but Tip, I want you to do softball game
because you said she's spinning the basis.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
It's spinning the bases. She's rounding first, she's coming in
the second.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Spitting the bases.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
No, not not first, sin it is. I was gonna
make it. You're right, and then third, you're right, and
then what happen? What happened?
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Base is anything over the close second base is under
the close. Fourth, there is no fourth base. It's one, two, three.
And then it's a home run, not.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
A home run home base because everybody doesn't always get
a home run. You can hit a single, a double.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
I'll be I'll be fact checking that. I don't know,
no problem.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
I would like for you to do it. Okay, Tip,
last thing.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
But when you said a home run, what was the
what would you say?
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Yeah, yeah, it's a home run home run, but you
also hit a single. You can hit a double.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Means the number of people you bring home with your bat.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
But you said it's a home run, and what's the
other word for it if it's not a home run?
Speaker 3 (15:13):
No, I didn't say that. I was telling you the
other types of hits you can have.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Oh single, double, home run, a triple. Okay, did you
all know that Sometimes they ask one of the players
on the baseball field to come off for no reason
other than like, yeah, you tried, but now we're done,
and the people applaud like good job. But I'd be
embarrassed if they came out and it was like all right, Tiffany,
(15:37):
like take a seat, we're putting in somebody else.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
You can't take somebody if they're like on the base,
if they're if they're on, if they're on the outfield,
if they're if they're not playing, what if they're at bat,
they can't. They can't take them off the bat while.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
They're I don't like baseball, honest.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
Okay, Well, let's movie person.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
I like it in person to a G I don't
like why person is so boring, but I would go
to the base.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Is fun, but it's it's boring. I think watching on
TV my dad records.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
I can't do it really.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Yeah, he's serious. Papa Raie is very serious about all
the sport.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
If if y'all can't school with two points, if two
is the high of the sport, I'm likely not watching well.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
One thing that we want people to know is that
in addition to the Olympics this summer, there is basically
the Olympics happening in November.
Speaker 3 (16:33):

Well, maybe it could also be who you think will win?
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Hmmm, I like it.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Let's do a bracket, but it will look different than
like a normal kind of a tournament bracket. It'll look
slightly different because it's all these sports. So we could
just say, like, who we think will win in each
of the sports?

and this week we're talking about.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
The Olympics. Olympics music. That's the best I could do.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Something like that, yea.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
So they start on July twenty six in Paris.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Tiff and I did it bandswerk with the girls earlier
this year or actually that was last year. Now it
looks good, oh sure was. Hopefully there's no bad bugs.
We didn't have any bad bugs, but we heard things
about bag bugs.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
But hopefully y'all.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Can run clear from those like Shakiri. I'll get to
that later, but July twenty sixth to August eleventh, and
I wanted to talk about some Olympics flashback moments because
we were seeing some of these things.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
How many Olympics have we seen, y'all? I don't.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
The one I remember most was when I met Dominique
Dawes in nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Where'd you meet her?
Speaker 4 (01:16):
I didn't meet her. I met her on TV in Atlanta.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
I thought, yeah, never mind, I thought you actually met her.
Of course we do, but I thought you actually met her?
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Okay, but you didn't go to the Olympics. So nineteen
ninety six, Atlanta, tip, what about you?
Speaker 2 (01:31):
The first Olympics? I remember Flow Joe in what was that,
eighty eight eighty, the late eighty eighty it was eighty okay.
She I just remember her being so pretty, She had
these nails, she was running, you know, and it was
any Even in the eighties, seeing people who look like
us do anything was still a big deal. This wasn't
(01:53):
social media. This was before every household had cable, you know.
And I just remember watching her, literally Flow. I watched
Flow Joel Flow.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
I would like to know, as our resident sports experts,
please Trivia, I'm here to serve.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
What answer for you?
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Do you remember what races Flow ran in the Olympics?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Absolutely, she ran the track, uh in field race?
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Which race? In the track and field race?
Speaker 2 (02:23):
She ran the one hundred meter dash? You sure, no,
but that's race. I know.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
She ran und two hundred Oh boom.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I'm because I'm so good. You are knowing when I
don't even really be knowing.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
She was the four by four team.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Okay, I don't remember the four by four, but I
believe it.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Yeah, she was four by four Angela. Let me tell
you what she was running though. She was running circles
around these holes on fashion, Yes she was.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
She would come.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Through like the hood, the bodysuit, the one, the one.
I'm definitely the nails, but I'm talking about the looks.
Like all I wanted to do was be like flow Joe.
So I respect that moment. We haven't. Well, we have
a new flow Joe. I'm gonna get to my flash back.
We have a new flow jo now. And she Carrie Richardson,
and I just want to shout out this young sister
(03:17):
because she has gone through so much. She had a
great loss. I believe it was her grandmother who passed
when during Olympic trials last time, and not the Olympic
trials either.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
What was that was her mom. Yeah, I'm pretty sure
it was her.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Mom had okay, give me together, sports expert, give me together.
But the point is now to see her making the
kind of comeback that she's having.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
It's like more polished.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
They can't come at her about no wei, they can't
come at her about anything but being her very best.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
She won a rasee.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
I think it was one hundred that she won and
ran and then she just had like this fall from
grace that you you know, and you saw her getting
dragged in the media and on social media andrew to
the point of a recent podcast episode in ways that
just are unimaginable for any young woman to face. And
now she's made this comeback. She is bold, she's dope.
(04:12):
She is winning left and right, and she's humble about
it and incredible still in her on her platform.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
So I just want to shout her out.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Yes, such less at home in her person.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
How about that? Come on?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
So it was her mom. It was a week before
her Olympic tryouts.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Her grandmother is always at her race as you're right.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
She was raised by her grandmother and her But a
week before Olympic trials her she spoke out and said
that her mom had passed away.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Yeah, well she is now.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
She is back with the vengeance and we expect to
see great things from she.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Carrie.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
So my flashback moment is the Dream Team. So I
think you all will probably remember. But before nineteen ninety two,
the Olympics had the United States Olympic team would always
have basketball players from college, right They never and so
they would win some, they would lose some, and somebody
(05:06):
was like, well, why can't we play our pros. They
decided that year that NBA players should make the team.
And this particular Olympics was incredible for me. Nineteen ninety two.
They had Magic, they had Jordan, they had John Stockton,
they had Karl Malone, they had Patrick Ewing, they had
Larry Bird.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
I mean McDonald did.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Not have Isaiah.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Yes, good, they did not. Okay, do we know why
do you want to tell us sports expert?
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Well, this is only for my super insiders when it
comes to sports. Purportedly because of the beef between Jordan
and Isaiah Thomas or was it Magic and Isaiah Thomas,
because both they both had beef, and they both had
(05:55):
beef because the Pistons, who Isaiah Thomas played for, walked
off the court without shaking hands with the Chicago Bulls.
M HM, and Magic and Isaiah were cool. But then
when they played each other in the game, they got
into a little tussle, and so I guess they figure
Magic and Jordan, we don't want Isaiah Thomas. You're welcome
(06:18):
for that inside note that is so good.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
There was one college player selected on this team too.
It was Christian Latner, who to this day, I'm sorry, Christian,
I still don't like you because you stepped on that
black man's chest from Kentucky back in the day.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
I still don't fool with you like that.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
What is that story.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
I'll tell you about it on another time because I
just want to get to my dream his story, but
I want you all to know that he was chosen.
Just like Clyde Drexer was chosen over Isaiah Thomas, Christian
Latner was chosen over Shack. I know they regret that
because Christian Layner did not show up in the NBA
like he did at Duke. So I digress. Now, the
dream Team, this particular dream team, meant everything to me,
(06:54):
and I think to so many kids adults alike all
over the country. McDonald's. He even had the promos like
they were going in hard. But this particular team, I
don't know if y'all remember, but Magic Johnson announced he
was retiring from the NBA in the fall of nineteen
ninety one. This team was announced before his retirement announcement
(07:16):
related to HIV AIDS and they still had Magic play.
So it was our opportunity to see Magic play even
after he retired from the league, and it was in.
It was an incredible showing. And I'll tell y'all, I
don't know if y'all noticed. Magic Johnson is my favorite
basketball player of all times. I traded my cousin Leanne
(07:37):
her my Michael Jordan card for her Magic Johnson basketball card.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
That's how much of a Magic Johnson I was.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Because he was my favorite player. I wanted the Magic
Johnson basketball card. Noven I made him your favorite player.
Oh oh, I thought you were saying, why did I
do the trade?
Speaker 3 (07:50):
No, he was my.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Favorite player because he played with such like flawless grace,
the way he did the no look passes, and he
always I think I feel like he always preferred his
teammates above himself. He was always happy. I loved his energy.
He was dope handles.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Like he just he was. He was smooth.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
He was smooth, and he knew he knew how to
do the skyhook, which, according to HBO scripted series Winning Time,
he was taught by Kareem Abd.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
You got it.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
According to the Winning Time series, did y'all watch Winning Time?
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Yes? I actually did watch it. I understand maginicing them
don't like it that much.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Hey what, I don't understand why that's so good?
Speaker 3 (08:37):
I mean, they make magic look a little out here,
look at but you better watch it. That's still magic.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
I just.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
I just got to tell you all feel about magic.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Has a six summertime vacation with friends that I would love.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
They knew that vacation looks so fun. Our girl Hollie
Robinson is on there.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
It's like fifty couples on a yacht.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Miss Tina be there.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Yes, yeah, you all right, y'all.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
We're gonna take a quick break and we'll be right back.
So any well, here's the thing. Before we get too
far down the road on the yachts, I wanted to
get back to the Olympics and just ask y'all, what
are you looking for with this particular Olympics season. I'm
(09:30):
gonna set election season, see how we condition see how
we conditioned with this Olympics. What are y'all looking forward to?
What competition? Which player, which star? Which who are you
looking forward to seeing? What you're looking forward to seeing?
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Well, I know the answer to this, but I'll ask
you guys, for the benefit of our viewers. Do they
still do the Dream Team?
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Then I'm looking forward to that.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Okay, all right, I feel like it's.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
A little on a dif. What's his name from the Knicks,
Jaylen Brunson. I want to see him on the Dream Team?
Have they announced the Dream Team? They have annound the
Dream Team. Let's look at who's on this year's basketball team.
You want to know the women are the are the men?
Because there's a women? Well, I know who's not on
the women's team. Kaitlyn Clark didn't make it. But Angel
Reese didn't make it either. And though like I care
(10:16):
about Angel Reese the most, just because I've heard the
most about her, I don't know a lot of the
other w NBA players for the NBA.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Hold on, I'm trying to pull this up.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Uh, Okay, So the NBA who is Bam bam out
of bio from the Heat, Devin Booker from the Suns,
Steph Curry, Anthony Davis, Kevin Durant, Anthony Edward Jewel, and
b Tyrese Halliburton.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Okay, I know Tyrese Haliburton because he plays for the Pacers.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Oh, I didn't finish Drew Holliday, Lebron Kawhi Leonard, and
Jason Tatum.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
So you're beloved. Jalen Brunson will not be on this No.
I didn't think he was, but I went to double check.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
He needs to rest up for next season. Ok So,
now the NBA Draft is this week. There's no chance
that any of those people will make it, too, because
the team is already selected.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
The team is selected.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Okay, all right, we want to talk about the women's players.
Yes please, all right, let's see women's olympe manskin. All right, girl,
let's see who's on this team? Because I don't remember either.
Say that's funny. There's literally a Google resort. Why is
Caitlin Clark not going to the Olympics. Here we go,
uh Nefisa Collier, Kalia Copper, Chelsea Gray, Britney Griner, Sabrina
(11:34):
I can never say her last name, and I Scuscu
the one who beat Steph Curry or yeah in the Ayahuasca.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Is she gonna fight you?
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Juel Lloyd, Kelsey Plumb who got handles, Breonna Stewart Stewie
who was just on.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
The Seattle Storm and traded.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I'm said, Diana Tarassi, Alissa Thomas, Asia Wilson, who we
love Jackie Wilson, Yes, indeed, I don't know. I want
to know why Don ain't coaching?
Speaker 2 (12:05):
How do they pick the coaches for these things?
Speaker 1 (12:08):
You know, that's a great question. I don't know they
answer that.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
It's a great we if y'all know, drop a comment
and tell us if y'all know how coaches are.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
No, it ain't a popularity contest, no changes, But yeah,
I would definitely like to love to see Don and
Asia Wilson is the best in the league.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Got a shoe dropping? I mean, come on, question.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Do we want.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
To go to the congratulations to miss Chell and Brittany.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Yes, baby, love them.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Do we want to go to the Olympics?
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Yeah? Who are you paying for us to go? With
your fifty three dollars?
Speaker 2 (12:41):
I was gonna say, let's see who we sell his
distribution to Bed and Fox. We wait here, y'all get
a little gofund me crowd fund amongst your sales and
get back to us so we can get y'all some
good content on these I think I.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Would pay to see you be the correspondent for sports.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Oh, that would be so.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Good to be.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
So like, Okay, there's like on the soccer field. They're like,
what's like this the US versus Brazil and there's a
goal about to happen.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Run me through that play by play? What's going on?
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Okay, guys, we see him coming down the field and
we see I just want to take this quick moment
and remind you guys that there's a lot of racism
that happens among some of these soccer players on the field.
We talked about it on Native lampod You can catch
it anywhere you get your podcast. But wait here he
comes goa know they know who it is because they're
(13:34):
watching it.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Number. Give me a number. Number. Okay, now, tip take
me to the softball field. What's happening to softball?
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Is the softball? Okay?
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I actually don't know been in the basis com and
around im question that fire.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
In my Hearts podcast cover.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
We just got kicked off doing Olympic coverage because they
seriously should send us.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
Oh, softball is in the Olympics. I don't know why.
I doubt it myself.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
I noticed, I'll notice in the Olympics. But they ain't
got me on basketball anyway.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Okay, but Tip, I want you to do softball game
because you said she's spinning the basis.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
It's spinning the bases. She's rounding first, she's coming in
the second.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Spitting the bases.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
No, not not first, sin it is. I was gonna
make it. You're right, and then third, you're right, and
then what happen? What happened?
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Base is anything over the close second base is under
the close. Fourth, there is no fourth base. It's one, two, three.
And then it's a home run, not.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
A home run home base because everybody doesn't always get
a home run. You can hit a single, a double.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
I'll be I'll be fact checking that. I don't know,
no problem.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
I would like for you to do it. Okay, Tip,
last thing.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
But when you said a home run, what was the
what would you say?
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Yeah, yeah, it's a home run home run, but you
also hit a single. You can hit a double.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Means the number of people you bring home with your bat.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
But you said it's a home run, and what's the
other word for it if it's not a home run?
Speaker 3 (15:13):
No, I didn't say that. I was telling you the
other types of hits you can have.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Oh single, double, home run, a triple. Okay, did you
all know that Sometimes they ask one of the players
on the baseball field to come off for no reason
other than like, yeah, you tried, but now we're done,
and the people applaud like good job. But I'd be
embarrassed if they came out and it was like all right, Tiffany,
(15:37):
like take a seat, we're putting in somebody else.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
You can't take somebody if they're like on the base,
if they're if they're on, if they're on the outfield,
if they're if they're not playing, what if they're at bat,
they can't. They can't take them off the bat while.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
They're I don't like baseball, honest.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
Okay, Well, let's movie person.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
I like it in person to a G I don't
like why person is so boring, but I would go
to the base.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Is fun, but it's it's boring. I think watching on
TV my dad records.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
I can't do it really.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Yeah, he's serious. Papa Raie is very serious about all
the sport.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
If if y'all can't school with two points, if two
is the high of the sport, I'm likely not watching well.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
One thing that we want people to know is that
in addition to the Olympics this summer, there is basically
the Olympics happening in November.

Let's do a bracket, but it will look different than
like a normal kind of a tournament bracket. It'll look
slightly different because it's all these sports. So we could

of the sports?
