Speaker 1 (00:10):
Drama man, welcome. There's drama everywhere. It's just drama city.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
It is something about August Man brings a drama that too.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
But Olympics it's like our first Olympics in a decade, really,
you know, so yeah, extra drama there. It's like the
first Olympics of mega social media era, right, like.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Twenty twenty Olympics. Didn't you feel like it even happened?

Speaker 1 (00:31):
No, I didn't.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
What didn't happen? It was in twenty one.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
Yeah, yeah, it's like but yeah, but nobody watched. It
was weird. Half the fucking countries didn't go. And then
the one before that was like social media growing, but
like the athletes didn't have the presence they have now,
you know what I mean, where like Lebron's like an
instagrammer now, so it's cooler influence. You get a real
behind the scenes action of what's going on.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
Yeah, one of the Olympic gymnasts has a million followers
on Instagram.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
Oh I'm sure, Like no, I'm sure Simon Biles there's
multi millions. Yeah, it's probably like fucking yeah, she's probably
got ten MILLI yeah, easily, easily. Yeah, you there are
some athletes you click on that. I was surprised that
had no following, which is kind of crazy. There'll be
a couple of track people or weightlifters. Sadly that kind
of world. Right, you got no following, but you go
even the swimmers chicks basketball three on three basketball, which

(01:19):
we fucking dudes got eliminated from the group round. What
the fuck's going on there?

Speaker 2 (01:23):
I dude, I didn't even realize that there was the
three on three thing.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
That's the only thing to watch.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
Any of it because I don't even know it was
even happening, Like, oh, this is the thing.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
It's kind of fun, and that's the only thing I
watched in the twenty twenty one Olympics. Oh really, isn't
just because of collapse one? It was I was at
the first debut. Maybe maybe it was kind of exciting, bro,
it's kind of fun. Our dude's team a jymmer for
dead is it half court? Half court?

Speaker 3 (01:45):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Wow, there's no dead ball. So if we're playing against
each other and I make a bucket, you grab it
from a make and then you just have to back
it and you get to play, got it? You just
got to clear it? So as super fast paced, so
it kind of feels like a sevens rugby or of
seven's football or you know, like it's fast three point line.
I think it's college. Yeah, it's like speed chess. Yeah.

(02:07):
I think it's a college three point because a lot
of our chicks team was college girls. Our guys team
was yeah, jim or for debt, and then a bunch
of people I don't know and Gimmer bawled out, but
we still didn't even make it past the group round. Wow.
So then the latest on that is ice Cube ice
Cube Big three League is he's saying the championship of

(02:28):
his league should play the champs of that.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
I thought I was just gonna wait until you're I
was gonna say, is he involved in like that?

Speaker 3 (02:36):
No?

Speaker 1 (02:36):
So these like kind of stole his idea. Maybe, I
don't know. If he invented it, it might have been
a world thing and then he adapted it. I think
he's genius. But and I am an ice Cube fan,
and multiple layers of it, I think still going. People
are wrong. I watch it. It's on NBC at like
noon on Saturdays. It's fucking sick. You get all the
old players you love. Then like, not only that, but

(02:59):
they get to like sign brothers and ship. You know.
So it's kind of like that. But weren't good d one,
but they weren't pro or they played pro overseas. Yeah,
but then what he said in an interview, which is
I have heard multiple ice cube interviews where the NBA
is fucking with him in his league, trying to not
trying to push him back. That's obvious. Yeah, so he

(03:22):
throws like non money nothing talk. He throws the challenge
to play the gold medal team who won the three
on three and now Foeba's trying to block them and
fuck with them like this dude's just trying to create
like content, like fun ship. That's a fun thing to do.

Speaker 3 (03:37):
That sounds a little bit like the IP.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
No, it's exactly. I mean it is all the same. Yeah,
it looks like, yeah, the IOC and the fucking all
that's the same. Corrupt ass dude, I don't even know
it is twiddling his fingers in his office.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Yes, this is This is exactly why like a sport
like UFC, even though it should be an Olympic sport,
be an Olympic sport because you can have like a
guy like John Jones, Nigan who in the Olympics, but
like they'll never get that in the UFC.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
Yeah, and I.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
Think that's a really good reference. Like ice like Dana White,
love him or hate him, Like he does ship how
he wants to do it, keeps it money in his pands,
that's true, but he does it for the fans, like
he knows what a good fight is. He knows how
to promo, he knows how to build a league. And
that's how I feel ice Cube is Like ice Cube
is doing this because he knows people love basketball and
how much cooler is it to see? Yeah, like Jason Richardson,

(04:27):
go play the gold medal team on some ships and
gigs and they're trying to ruin the fun.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
Yeah no, yeah, yeah, that is sad. That's good to
be a great YouTube live stream.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Yeah, I already challenged the Aussie breakdancer to a dance hall.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
I was gonna say, I think that speaking of things
that probably shouldn't be Apparently that was in the last
one too, twenty twenty.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
One, maybe, but they're already out this one in la yep,
not all that, but yeah, but baseball, baseball's in softballs
in flag football.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
I thought baseball was already in and out.

Speaker 4 (05:03):
It wasn't in Paris because there was no place for
them to play it because in Paris they only built
the Olympic village and yeah the swimming venue.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
Which is smart if you think about it. Well, usually countries,
you like, literally go into a massive death after the Olympics.
Yeah they die.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
Yeah. And then La they're not building anything.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
No, just transports, yeah, which I think could be there
because we got the World Cup too.

Speaker 4 (05:27):
Yeah they are actually though, I know they're building a
hospital capacity in LA because of the Olympics.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
That's good just because there's gonna be so many people there.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
Yeah, more people, more, more possible visits.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
Yeah, more hardest numbers thing. Yeah, just yeah, that's all great,
but yeah numbers. Every other country goes fucking bankrupt. There
was a lot of crime going on in Paris, I'm sure.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
I think a lot of it's also getting kind of
pushed down all of it because they don't want it
to be obviously the focus of it. But like there's
a lot of shit going down over.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
There, basic pickpockety things. I think in the first week
they there's like a grid shut down, there's a train
shut down.

Speaker 3 (06:02):
Yeah, that was terroristic kind of activities.

Speaker 4 (06:04):
Yeah, something you know when you go when you go
to Paris, they say, oh yeah, look out for pick
pockets or pickpockets or whatever.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
I didn't see anything like that that I was there for.

Speaker 4 (06:12):
Not I was there last year, but I was there
for like five days and see anything like that. Never
felt like I was, you know, in a situation where
somebody might like times square, you feel like you need
to put your wallet in front of pocket just in case,
because there's just so many people, just the crush of people,
And I never experienced that at all in Paris.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
I don't know. I mean maybe there's worst parts of Paris, yeah,
that aren't really well. And during the Olympics, right, you're
literally people from all over the world likely you know,
not to point out the French, but that the locals
would be the pickpocketers. Right, some dude from Canada isn't
flying halfway across the world to commit petty craft theft, right,

(06:51):
he can pickpocket in Toronto. You know, like it just
doesn't make sense. Yeah, sure, so there's yeah, there's just
too many people. And then I'm sure security just because
of where the world's at right now, was through the
fucking roof as best they could. You know, you'd imagine,
but it wasn't for the Olympics. It has to be
like the best, right, Like, no matter what else is bigger,
let alone. There's two wars fucking for how we don't
have to dig it that. But yeah, but the fucking

(07:13):
stones throw away in every direction of Paris. So yeah,
shit was going crazy. I watched a good amount. I
watched the basketball, of course, which feels like it got
some fuel, which is cool.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
I feel like I've watched I watched more this year
than I probably have in the last three or four.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
Yeah, that's what everyone talks about. I always watched it
because I love it, but socially you could just feel
the energy was there different. It's just easier to do.
It was so easy to watch this year with the
peacock situation and the time change, it was streamless. The
time change seems good enough, like it was big, but
it wasn't ruining your day where yeah it was Japan
last time, like that's twelve hours. Yeah, and there's something

(07:46):
about it, and I still won't do it. I turned
it off even this time. I can't watch recorded sports
unless it's like a thirty year old vintage game, you know,
like if I knew the score. The only one I
did watch was our buddies at the Sudan because they
played at two am and then I woke up at
six for a replay. So I watched that because it
felt close enough. But a replay, for some reason just

(08:06):
fucking depends on what it is. Like I I did.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
Some of the golf I watched on replay because like
it was on it midnight till our two am, so
they started like you know there, they started at like
six am, right, so like you know, the six hour
difference is really early. But so some of it I
did stay up for, which I don't normally do, but
it'd stay ups for some of the golf. That first
you know golf thing was fun, the men's golf. But yeah,

(08:31):
I uh, besides that, I watched a lot of the
primetime coverage, that's what, because I wasn't really checking like
what was going on where, you know, I wasn't really
looking like some of the I tried to much watch
as much live as I could, but.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
Yeah, I checked basketball schedule. Otherwise you just turn it
on and whatever. Its kind of the fun. Yeah, that's
kind of fun because then it forces you to watch gymnastics,
where I would never go hunt down to watch gymnastics.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
How about Snoop Dog getting paid five hundred k at
that day to be there.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
And looking like he's having fun.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
Yeah, that's great, but it was I did. I was done.
I was so done with him by the time.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
I've been done was I mean, I'm a Snoop fan.
I've been done with the Snoop stick for a long time.
I watched He's on every damn show, Like, why is
he on the voice?

Speaker 1 (09:15):
He's got the best manager ever? Probably, Oh my god.
There was clips because it was late night. I think
in the Tokyo Ones where him and Kevin Hart did
the postgame shows. Yeah, I remember that. If you go
rewatch those, you will laugh because Kevin Hart brings it
the best. Yeah, they too. They they were a good combo,
so I understand. I think that was his try out
to earn the five hundred a day. Like what that brought.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
I don't think he brought any value to anything, but
I know some people that that's my personal but I
know some people are like, I'll do the Snoop stuff
was so good. I only watched the Golden Thing with
snoop and I'm like, what.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
Yeah, I didn't see any of it, to be honest,
besides social.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
Some people only took in the Olympics three for snoop content.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
I had like an old section for it on Peacocker,
like the snoop really stop.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
Yeah. Yeah, I saw the.

Speaker 4 (09:59):
Stuff with Martha Stewart undressage that was like, oh my god,
why why am I watching this? And then after the
closing ceremonies. I don't know if you guys saw the closing.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
Well, Tom Cruise jumped.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
Off the social media.

Speaker 4 (10:18):
And then he grabbed the the Olympic flag and put
it on the back of a motorcycle.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
And skirted off to LA and went to went to it.

Speaker 4 (10:28):
Now this is obviously pre recorded. I went to the
airport into the back of a C one thirty and
they flew him to Los Angeles where he jumped out
of the plane and then he put Olympic rings up
on the Hollywood sign and they handed off the flag
to somebody else who was on a bike, like a

(10:49):
like a mountain bike, and it made its way to
the beach at Santa Monica, and then they had this
whole venue there they had Red.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
Hot Chili Peppers.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
That's not cool. I didn't want you at all. And
then they revealed the logo for the five right, isn't
that the big deal?

Speaker 2 (11:08):
I don't like Bobby Hundreds had his hand.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
In, and Kobe Bryant's wife has one. I think they
chose five groups to make logos for it, which is
kind of cool, and I don't think it was a contest.
It was just like we hand chows these and Bobby
Hundreds is one. Shout out to the Hundreds because yeah,
they they released them like this week. I don't know
who the other three artists were, but I read an
article on that. That's cool concept too, la Is. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (11:32):
The only thing I saw was the what they had
made out of us, like a sand sculpture on the beach.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
Maybe that was the logo right next to the I'm
sure there has to be a humans on Santa monicappear.

Speaker 3 (11:43):
Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
Yeah, they had to photoshopped all that out. The bathrooms
with no doors.

Speaker 4 (11:48):
Yeah, well, every single member of the Redite Chili Peppers
who still has hair has a.

Speaker 3 (11:53):
Die job, like extensively. I'm not convincing at all.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
Die job. Yeah, poor Anthony's not looking so good. No,
but he's a big sports fan. I mean that Dud's
every Lakers game, all the UFC fights. Yeah, shout out
to him. I am a red hot Chili Pepperson. Yeah, yeah,
the classics. Many memories listening to the Chili Peppers for sure,
very California of us growing up.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
I'll never forget, like the g T a style like
music video for California Kid.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
So I was like, what like a video game music
video what they had? Yeah, it was like a mind blow.
It was really good.

Speaker 3 (12:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (12:27):
And then Snoop was actually there at that too and perform.
Of course I went to that's the point I'm going
to be.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
That was an extra millt hallucinating him around.

Speaker 3 (12:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
Yeah, that is a lot high enough to watch, dude.

Speaker 3 (12:40):
Man.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
Yeah, there's drama everywhere. The one that sticks me weird
is it started I think in the beginning, but I
heard it's been going on where I don't know if
it's the who who is even playing the Devil's advocate here,
but it's the argument of title of World champ right
where NFL MLB and so that's what the follow up was.

(13:02):
But I think all the drama center around his just
like crazy, he sucks right, I do not get a
good vibe. Bro, No, I think I beat him in
a race too.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
He's he's uh, yeah, man, I don't get I don't
get his like his I don't understand his position. It
just sounds like, yeah, it's just obviously so wrong.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
No, he's jealous that he can't fucking he has no
hand eye coordination. Otherwise he'd be in the NBA. That's
what it sounds like. It sounds like you were a
ship athlete that was kind of fast and you got
kicked off everything.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
But a lot of the other like that's what Yeah,
for sure, a lot of these guys are saying like, oh,
this is just a failed just because you're a failed
NBA guy. Yeah, Tyreek Hill just called to me that
it sounds a little like a wild Yeah, of course,
but like, of course we're behind. Colleagues are fucking shit.
That's what his colleagues are saying. That's not my Tyreek.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
Hill said he's gonna go race him and he'd smoke him.
Yeah probably maybe fu Yeah fuck yeah. I put my
money on the cheetah. So no, So I think the
argument was going on before that and I don't really
understand why.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
He was saying shit that like the uh, the NBA,
how are you gonna call it the NBA championships?

Speaker 1 (14:05):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (14:05):
That they're the world champs when they only play in America.
I'm like, do you are you do not watch basketball right?

Speaker 1 (14:09):
Right? Because because you look at any.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
All these other countries are on the.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
Right, which has been the thing, and it's gonna be
the thing forever. Like there's just no way that's gonna
change it. It doesn't make.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
Sense logistically to travel, so they've moved to the United States.
They're in their country.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
There's very good talent around the world and in other leagues, right,
even Dwight Howard is still a prime NBA player and
he's playing in China and Taiwan like that. That's an argument. Yeah,
but when you go top to bottom, clearly we have
the best league. But then he made a comment like
congratulating him on an Olympic championship, and I'm like, well,
how do you become a world champion? Then if it's
not a gold medal and it's not an NBA championship,

(14:45):
how do I win?

Speaker 2 (14:47):
He's thinking shots at like ant it's all.

Speaker 1 (14:49):
An ant because they're both signed by Adidas and Anthony Edwards.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
He said, He's like, go, come, I don't have a shoe,
but this guy doesn't even want to NBA title and
he has a shoe. I'm like, do you understand? Are
you trying to tell us that you're more marketable than one?

Speaker 1 (15:01):
Anthony edwards basketball shoe is like making waves like it's
the shoe of the year. Yeah, he's absolutely another fucking
chop at the knees to Nike, like Adidas is like
absolutely killing the game in the NBA. Yeah, Anthony Edwards
is going crazy. He's insanely likable. He kind of plays
like a cocky route, but then he goes on the
US team and he still says like he calls he

(15:22):
named the Steph Curry, Katie and Lebron the big dogs,
like he's still oh yeah. He's a perfect balance of
like I know I'm the man and I'm still paying
homage to what's.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
He's not super soft like Curry, right, but he is
just as like likable Andy, but he also has that
edge to him.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
Well, he's insanely like him.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
Or when Curry gets tougher, you're kind of like, okay,
let's let's his.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
Whole story through the Olympics is that he's so excited
to play with Kevin Durant because that's his favorite player. Yeah,
like that's his story. Like how are you gonna hate
on that? You know? And he's smiling and he's passing
the ball, he played great, whatever, whatever, and then this
little fucking runner, bronze metal runner comes to shit. Dude, Yeah,
it's just want the goal. He won the gold right
in the one hundred, right, and then bronze two hundred.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
Oh yeah yeah, well he's his specialty was the two hundred,
which he got bronze. But then they came out and
said that he had COVID.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
Yeah. But then but then same thing the next night
he's in the club. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
Well I made a comment on some like random Instagram
account that off that went on, that just went off on,
like fucking likes or whatever on like comments, you know
or whatever. But I was like, remember when they closed
the entire Olympics over COVID. Yeah, and now this guy
like is competing with COVID.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
Well they won either, No, I'm sure of them more. Yeah,
a bunch of them more.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
But it shows you how wild that whole thing was.

Speaker 3 (16:35):
This time they let the the athletes decide whether they
were going to compete if they were just a positive
So funny.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
Yeah, it's like what, Yeah, we shut down this multi
billion dollar operation because of this thing that now everybody's
just competing with.

Speaker 4 (16:46):
Well, I mean, for one thing, COVID is different now
than it was at the beginning, Like in twenty twenty
then we probably could have killed a bunch of people.
By twenty twenty one, they were I mean, although they
still used protocols, they were not likely to kill people
because we had some idea how to treat it.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
It. Sure, I mean, that's all just beside the point. Yeah, irony, Yeah,
the irony of it. Yeah, yeah, the irony is insane
that he gets to go to the club and that
it's like an article, because otherwise, if it wasn't, then
they if it wasn't an article, they would have just
said he was sick. Yeah, right, But the point is
they had to say he had COVID and that's why
he didn't win, right, And then that's what he's doing

(17:20):
when you're right. I think the two hundred meters was
supposed to be a ship. I don't even know if
it's a specialty. But I think he was jabbing at
Husain in them. Yeah, he was saying that this is better. Yeah.
I think he's saying, who's gonna be the Husain' right thought.

Speaker 2 (17:30):
Yeah, I could be wrong, but I thought he said
that was his best.

Speaker 5 (17:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
I think, yeah, he won by like the smallest. Yeah.
I didn't see the two under run. I saw the
hundred yeah, and the hundred barely one. Yeah, it was
like it was like they both ran. It was just
a sternum like it was like like thousands of a second. Yeah,
it was like literally like the because it doesn't go
by the foot, it goes by the sternum.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
So the guy's foot was way ahead. He just wasn't
That all comes down to just how your body's built.

Speaker 1 (17:56):
Right, Yeah, And he did lean, he like dove for it.
Yeah I didn't. He barely got it. I know, uh,
I know our shot put cat went crazy. I think
it's third gold medal, which is crazy in such an
explosive sport, like because there's certain things, right, like that's
why you say bolts of a deal and everyone will
argue for the sports that they like, like, oh, it's
really hard to be good that long and it is,

(18:17):
but there's certain attributes to certain sports. I mean that
Turkish shooters gotta be fucking you know that, dude. That
was the funniest part of the The memes were amazing.
There was a lot of like positive energy around it too,
like the memes of him and was it a Korean
South Korean shooter the chick all the crazy ship. Yeah,
the chick who's unloading it like she literally just want
to call a duty match, Like she's literally emoting on him,

(18:38):
Like it was fucking crazy. Like there's a lot of
positive energy. The picture that went viral. Was it the
two American chicks and maybe a Chinese gymnast don't quite? Yeah,
like that is just like I'm a thirty six year
old man and I in my head, I'm like, damn,
that's cute, you know, like it is. Yeah, Like it's
just so like precious, wholesome, Like there's wholesome moments going

(19:00):
on everywhere.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
Yeah, it felt good. It felt good to see it
felt good, right, It felt like okay for like you know,
for a week or two weeks, like we all just
kind of forget about the full shigar enough, the big distraction.

Speaker 1 (19:11):
There's some other distractions going on meanwhile, But yeah, there's
like even from the boat stuff. You know, it's like
the pictures of Lebron on that boat and the whole
boat's Americans, because obviously we bring the most amount of athletes,
Like yeah, it looks like fucking George Washington going to Wars,
fucking sick, Like those are like the person I used
for his photo's almost iconic photo. Possibly it really was,
It really was, for real, like everyone became like Lebron's

(19:34):
on the arc of like everyone kind of likes him again,
you know, like it's hard to eat them. He really is,
like he really is like the core of what.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
And then how mean he was to that kid trying
to get a picture.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
I got a weird take, though I think I'm on
the team Lebron.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
The kid kind of like gave him the arm, like
stop Lebron kind of arm. I get that, Like we
were like try to like kind of almost post him
out to get the picture.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
I'm not I'm not team Lebron in the sense like yeah,
kids deserve to get fucking yeah stiff arm. But I
had him like it was his son. No, he literally
hated that. No, he probably, but but but like I'm
also on the line of like, who are those kids parents?
And why is he so entitled to break through security
to run up on a blackout escalade? This is a

(20:17):
language barrier, I don't know. I think it's an entitlement barrier.
And then I am, yeah, slowly empathized with Lebron. I
think just because like I've been watching streams, so like
Kysinatt was streaming in Paris and he's what ten percent
as famous as Lebron whatever I make it up here,
he's very famous, but you know what I mean, And
he's getting mobbed and he's miked up live streaming, so

(20:39):
you hear all the interactions and he's handling it pretty well,
although you could tell he's getting a little perturbed because
some of these motherfuckers language barrier not some of them
are Canadian American are fucking rude up, Yeah, you know
what I mean. So if you're Lebron James and you've
had to deal with this for twenty five years of rudeness,
you want one second to go inside and have a

(21:01):
champagne with your boys and your wife and then some
fucking French kid runs him on you, I might pun
him too runs up, I might give him a fucking
no to.

Speaker 3 (21:10):
I got it. I got a better story.

Speaker 4 (21:12):
I got a better story in the closing ceremonies when
when Tom Cruise came down and he was running through
the crowd of athletes, this one older white chick grabs
his fucking head and eats his face, just like kissed
the ship.

Speaker 3 (21:29):
Out of him. It was hysterical. I've never seen anything
like that.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
Gotta be a euro was in La back in La.

Speaker 3 (21:36):
No, No, this was in.

Speaker 2 (21:37):
Comparis, because that wouldn't have happened in l A. I
was like, how they let that happen?

Speaker 1 (21:41):
It's got to be a European dude.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
Oh man, I'm surprised he kept his cool. But Tom Cruise,
he's a pro.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
He is a pro.

Speaker 4 (21:47):
Yeah, he just like as soon as you finally let
go of his head, he continued his run.

Speaker 2 (21:52):
But that guy's always armed. He's not gonna let him
character break.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
It's so weird. And his hair was a mess. Maybe
is from that. Maybe he was slow back. Yeah, just like,
I don't know how much of.

Speaker 3 (22:06):
It is his hair anymore.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
No, it for sure looks fake.

Speaker 2 (22:09):
This is Oh they're close to Turkey, right, Probably got
it done.

Speaker 1 (22:11):
Yeah before just touch up job. It's like fun. It's
like what the tenth of the price. Speaking of Turkey,
Roadblocks is outlawed in Turkey. Why. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (22:23):
I didn't fully read the game, but Roadblocks is the
game farming.

Speaker 1 (22:26):
Well, you could do anything, but yeah, that's still big game, huge,
biggest game in the history of video games. Still still
because you sh wore off. No, because you can, like
it's got like basically like a creator system, so you
can like create a game in it. So like you
and I can go in there, like play Halo inside
of Roadblocks Halo.

Speaker 3 (22:43):
Yeah all that.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
There's like a metaverse kind of situation.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
Yeah kind of Yeah, it's kind of like the first
version of that. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (22:50):
Interesting, but yeah, I heard it got outlawed in Turkey.

Speaker 1 (22:52):
I'm like, what the fuck is going on? This game
is for six year olds on iPads? Weird, weird.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
So there's like like billion and stuff in Roadblocks that
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (23:02):
I saw a tweet about that the other day, like
what happened to everyone who spent one hundred grand on
metaverse property?

Speaker 3 (23:08):
I know that's that's true.

Speaker 2 (23:09):
I did have some money in the Central Land.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
No I got some I got some coins.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
The Central Land was a coin that was I got
rid of it a while ago and put it on
into like more better coins, but it was a coin
that was made to purchase virtual land, like it was
like the first one.

Speaker 1 (23:24):
Speak of the Devil. You know who was one of
the biggest property owners. I think Snoop Dog, of course,
I think he was one of the biggest meta probably
goes to Japan, does like three or four it's one
hundred million dollars, it comes back. Yeah. No, he owns
fucking half a California in the metaverse. Dude, have you
seen the There was like a documentary about Snoop like
not that long ago that came out maybe five six
years ago, but it was all about how he just

(23:45):
doesn't stop working. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (23:46):
No, that's like his like things like I'll go do
the prices, right.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
I'll go literally go do anything. There's no ways thirsty
for money. He was literally go to you'd literally go
to like Japan for like a soda commercial for five
million dollars and fly back the same thing. What's like,
I don't care where it is the price, what's it?
What's the Olympics, Like eighteen days. He made nine mil
on that seventeen days. Yeah, he made nine mil on
the trip plus because he's got side gigs, he's got

(24:11):
side quest. There's aeially no expenses there.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
The best house there is every meal, every every single.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
That's what I'm saying. And then and then to show
up at the basketball parties another two hundred k. And
then to show up at that party is another and
then go hang out with the water polo team from
switzerland' another two hundred ky. The photo ops yeah, oh yeah, no,
he he pulled in yeah, ten mili plus. That's what
with all this money? I don't know. Is he put
it back into the metaburdeny. Yeah, LBC many's Nick Cannon though, no.

Speaker 3 (24:35):
Nobody has as many kids as Nick can. He's got
like a biblical amount of care.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
I think it's like, I think it's yeah, over fifteen.
Is he building schools for all the LBC kids, crips kids, Yeah,
crib schools, the crib schools. It's possible. I don't know
what he's doing, but he's crushing.

Speaker 2 (24:49):
I'm sure he's just tons of philanthropy work.

Speaker 1 (24:52):
No, I think he does. I think Snoop's got a
heart man, he's doing right, I'm saying, there's like a
ton of stuff that Yeah, although we're talking about yeah,
we're annoyed by him. There's way worse humans that could
be in his spot. Oh like Tom Cruise, Like we
all see this Tom Cruise ship and then you know
he's going home to fucking dude's scientology. Yeah, you know
it's like you know that motherfucker's he's just taking that
money to go fuck up other people's lives.

Speaker 3 (25:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (25:14):
That posts about his uh, his appearance in the in
the closing ceremonies.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
He looked bizarre. He did like a clone, looked like
clone Clone Cruise. He probably was, Yeah, he probably wasn't him.
People say he probably got an army of himself.

Speaker 3 (25:27):
Tom Where's Shelley?

Speaker 1 (25:28):
Yeah, no, he's fucked. He looked like a robot, like
a robot. Yeah, remember when he went like nuts and
all those like the shows. What was it like that
mid two thousand? Yeah was Oprah? Yeah, joking on the
that was a joke.

Speaker 3 (25:40):
Forever, maybe nine.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
Maybe that was like one of the first viral Like me, Yeah,
I feel like that just stomping on couches for some reason.
He was just going happy though.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
He was so unhinged in all these videos.

Speaker 1 (25:50):
I think it was a happy he was supposed to
be a happy thing, but it was like and I'm like, dude,
you're the best best actor in the world. They are
quotes happening. That's the performance we get of happiness.

Speaker 2 (25:59):
It was clearly like some kind of program malfunction.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
He might be a bot. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (26:04):
He did run though in the in the the Olympic closing.

Speaker 3 (26:09):
When when he got to when he got to America,
I think he ran at that point, but like famous
Tom Cruise run, the Tom Cruise run.

Speaker 2 (26:16):
Yeah, I mean it's not really high hands, it would
be really going anywhere, but it's looking like you're going.

Speaker 1 (26:20):
It'd be such a gip.

Speaker 3 (26:21):
If he didn't run. Yeah, I mean that's true.

Speaker 1 (26:23):
I mean they're talking about new mission impossible. As we
were talking about a day after tomorrow, yesterday and tomorrow,
he's going to redo that one.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
So doing another day after tomorrow.

Speaker 4 (26:31):
Maybe uh Tuesday after next week, Yeah, not to what
is called die, rewind and live again?

Speaker 3 (26:39):
Yeah zero dat.

Speaker 1 (26:41):
You know what is the called tomorrow never dies? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (26:44):
Lived I repeat is the one name of it?

Speaker 1 (26:46):
Uh, Edge of Tomorrow, Edge of Tomorrow Okay, wasn't the
rock in that No tomorrow is where he dies and
gets like respawn that's right, and they're like a big like.

Speaker 3 (26:58):
That's a good movie.

Speaker 1 (26:59):
No, I liked it. It was a kind of underrated.
We talked about in the last podcast. It's a chick
that looked like her another hot mom.

Speaker 3 (27:07):
Yeah, John Krasinski's wife.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
Got sorry John, respectfully, she's hot though. Yeah, she kind
of looks like a Bullock type, a little more athletic build.

Speaker 3 (27:17):
Yeah, she had to bulk up for that one.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
Yeah, it was a solid movie. You know, we talked
about it in the last show where it did get
I swear I remember it getting hate when it came out. Yeah,
where I saw it and I'm like, fuck, I love
this and everyone's like yeah, I don't know, and then
in hindsight, like fast forward five years now everyone loves it.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
It's probably just too soon for that kind of concept.
We haven't had enough weird uh. Yeah, it was a
weird Christopher Nolan movies yet to do, just like, yeah,
become that a normal thing.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
It was probably around the same time where Inception is
really good, so it probably got outshadowed by some of
that one.

Speaker 4 (27:49):
Yeah, and it was the third of a similar number
of movies because like, uh after Earth, yeah with Will Smith,
maybe the worst ever. Yeah, and then he did Oblivion,
which is a very similar movie.

Speaker 1 (28:05):
Yeah, yeah, which is and then uh, it's not that great.
What's the Matt Damon one. He's got robots in his head.
They live on a like a halo. It's like Halo.

Speaker 4 (28:14):
Yeah, Elysium, Elysium, Yeah, yeah, all those came out like
two weeks.

Speaker 3 (28:19):
Elysium was not a bad movie, but it had bad
moments for sure.

Speaker 1 (28:23):
Yeah, it wasn't bad, but but it legitimorrow is probably
the best. Like it's a legitimately solid movie.

Speaker 3 (28:28):
Well, because it's it's funny.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
It's essentially came out around that time. Interstellar was for
sure within the like at least four years.

Speaker 2 (28:36):
We're talking about like top three sci fi movies ever made.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
No, actually, we're on the tenth year anniversary in Ortell. Yeah,
we're gonna put in the theater.

Speaker 2 (28:43):
Yeah, imagine an IMAX forty.

Speaker 1 (28:46):
There's a couple of those that really bang, Like Martian
was similar era and that was pretty good. Yeah, that
was Matt da Mars. Yeah, that one's pretty good. Interstellar
is obviously one of my favorite movies all time, all time,
but there's a lot of like core and I like
sci fi, so that was like the sci fi chapter
in Hollywood.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
Yeah, what was the Apocalypse movie with the Rock? He's
like the helicopter by hand.

Speaker 1 (29:07):
And yeah yeah, yeah, yeah about the faults. Yeah yeah,
he like crashes a helicopter in fucking Fresno or something. Yeah, yeah,
I saw that. Fuck. I think that was the little
TNT weekend movie. Has The Rock been kind of canceled?
Like hello, key?

Speaker 5 (29:20):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (29:20):
I think people he's been hiding out right.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
Look, I don't want to say that I led this,
but I've been hating on The Rock probably since like
with ninety nine, since he left the WWF, And uh,
right now, I think the hate. I don't think there's
like a real cancelation, but the hate is we can
tell you're not authentic. But that's literally been my argument
for fifteen years. Like when I twitch streamed that was

(29:44):
like one of our inside jokes about how much I
hated The Rock and everyone else loved him, and I'm like, bro, like,
he's clearly the most fake motherfucker.

Speaker 2 (29:52):
Oh dude, he'll sell you fucking he'll sell you a cannon.

Speaker 3 (29:54):
Bro.

Speaker 1 (29:55):
He's handing out trucks to everyone randomly and like randomly's
pulling up the home depot in middle of LA waving
the fans. I'm like, you're not You're not like you'll
you'll die, someone will kill you, you know, like you're not
living that life. You're the most famous dude on the planet.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
Remember, I couldn't turn on my phone without seeing a
Teamanna podcast about his tequila.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
Right, yeah, he just sells you trash energy drinks, terrible tequila,
his energy drinks to what how could it be good
if he's involved the energy that was good? The energy
drinks like bubbly water, fucking herbal like the grossest thing
I've ever tasted in my life. Oh the zoa Yeah,
those are dog shit, the worst thing, Bro. It's like
potpourri mixed into a funk.

Speaker 2 (30:33):
Those are about obviously because they were like, you know,
three for four dollars, you know, cvs or whatever with
the reason I'm like, oh, do you have a shot,
And I'm like, oh, there we go.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
His one chance, I think is the Mowana too, which
is coming. Yeah, but you know that's his chance.

Speaker 2 (30:47):
You know the problem with him is like for business people.
I guess, like you you know that he made Zoa
just to build it, to sell it to Coker PEPSI right,
not because he has a passion for like natural energy
drinks or he's like behind this as a brand. He's like, Okay,
we do this with my audience.

Speaker 1 (31:04):
They sit in a room. We do this with my audience.

Speaker 2 (31:05):
We grow it to this and and these people are
gonna buy it and then we're gonna be good.

Speaker 1 (31:09):
It was purely because his manager came to him and said, hey, man,
you've been working out and people like those posts. Look
they're ten percent more likes than these other posts. What
can we sell do a fitness crowd? Ye? Just so
curated business.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
I feel like he hasn't fully recovered yet from the
piss jug in the in the in the in the
live video.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
I don't know what you're talking about. Oh really no, So,
like I haven't blocked. I followed him out of respect,
you know, for the game. But I think I probably
have a muted out so she was.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
I haven't either, That's what I'm saying. Like, did he
get canceled, because I still I think I might have
unfollowed him. Actually that's probably why he uh was doing
like a video about his jam like in his gym.
And then there was like this please giant.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
Name it by name respectfully, Iron Paradise.

Speaker 2 (31:49):
Iron Paradise. He's in Iron Paradise. He's doing a video
and then he like pants for the thing. There's this
big fight to like a milk cart and full of
piss and he goes, well, well, yeah that you got
I saw that. That was my pissed jug no.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
Way, and that's all yeah, you can look it up,
pull it up. And he's not joking. He's not joking.
He's not like Electrolytes.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
He's like, hey, you know what you know sometimes you know,
you just I work out so hard I just can't.

Speaker 1 (32:12):
It's like, dude, you could have pivoted any direction. I
would have even thought that was pissed. I'm quickly saying,
that's electrolytes. You. He just said, oh, there's my So
then after that, all this ship starts coming out that
he's a nightmare on set and it makes his people,
uh throw away his piss jars. Apparently it's a thing
for him where he doesn't leave the set to pee.
He pisses on set and has his assistant. Well, when

(32:34):
he throwed away, when you grind as hard as him
and I, you don't have time to go to the bathroom.
So apparently this is the thing.

Speaker 2 (32:38):
And it all started from that video of on the
live stream where he admits that there's this giant piss
jug on his bench.

Speaker 1 (32:43):
I don't know how I missed that's he doesn't leave
the gym to pee. He just peas in the jugs.

Speaker 4 (32:47):
He's not a doing it twenty four hour careat and test.
He's literally just a freak. And it was like fucking
looked like that bear mug. It was so damn orange
that fren will definitely do that.

Speaker 1 (32:59):
Yeah, man, r Kelly or just pissed buddies.

Speaker 2 (33:01):
Dude, Well there's my pissed jug.

Speaker 1 (33:04):
That's weird. It was funny, dude. I was like, yeah,
he like, you could have said anything if I don't
know if anybody even said anything in the chat. I
think he was just like, no, they're all fat, Yeah
they're yeah, they're all fanboys.

Speaker 2 (33:15):
This is my pre workout in a bottle. What are
you talking about?

Speaker 1 (33:17):
So easy? Right?

Speaker 3 (33:18):
And he's not selling piss jugs because I.

Speaker 1 (33:20):
Know he'll sell bladders yeah. Yeah, fucking sports catheters soon
that was just an early seed. Yeah. Yeah, he's actually
playing five D chests.

Speaker 2 (33:29):
The Absolute Grinder set where you can just pee your pants.

Speaker 1 (33:31):
What a weirdo. There's just like nothing in me that
wants to like meet people like that or be friends
with them, because I just know they're gonna sell.

Speaker 2 (33:38):
He just looks right through you, like you don't even exist. Yeah,
like there's anybody ever met him recently that like that
he cared about.

Speaker 1 (33:44):
Right, Yeah, he doesn't know how to care.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
Remember the whole fire. I mean that's also the fire
things to him now where they're like, yeah, he's got
these two billionaires begging people to donate money to this
island that like somehow didn't burn their fucking house down.

Speaker 1 (33:56):
Yeah, like you got money, Rock, go fucking fix it,
make it fucking happen. Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (34:01):
Yes, all right, Well, speaking of things that are ill considered,
the CrossFit games.

Speaker 1 (34:13):
Yeah, more drama, more drama. It was the first time
I didn't watch him at all.

Speaker 2 (34:18):
I watched every single event, every heat this year.

Speaker 3 (34:22):
Were you watching when they were watching this shit?

Speaker 1 (34:25):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (34:26):
Did you get a sense.

Speaker 1 (34:27):
I didn't catch it? Like in the live, right, because
I was like, also, like it was the swim events,
so it wasn't one of those events where you're like
really honed in right long distance events. You're just kind
of like checking background noise. You're checking in.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
On the on the event it gets on in the background.
I'm working on my computer or whatever. It's on a Thursday, right,
so Thursday.

Speaker 1 (34:44):
Morning you'll watch the last sprint. I'm probably on my.

Speaker 2 (34:46):
Phone, you know, and then you start hearing like this
buzz kind of happening, you know, and yeah, dude, it's
just it's look at these people, yeah, where.

Speaker 3 (34:56):
They are here there, and he's over here.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
Yep, right by the booie and and a lifeguard of
some nature's what twenty yards max? Yeah, if that I guess. Yeah,
I mean everything looks bigger on TV, right, probably closer
than we think. Yeah, yeah, probably know what I mean.
Like that's the fucked up part even right, Like.

Speaker 4 (35:14):
It's but if anybody had been paying attention, Like, we
still don't know what happened.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
We don't know it's cardiac, We don't know their brain.
So he does have a history of heart conditions, oh really,
he does have a history with some kind of heart stuff.

Speaker 1 (35:26):
So what's the protocols to get there with in regards
to stuff like that?

Speaker 2 (35:31):
Because Jim and I were talking to some kind of help,
because him and I were.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
Talking off air, like, Bro, you go into the NBA, NFL,
n C two A, you're getting prodded like a fucking
cow to make sure you're healthy. So even high school
you know, like high school sports, it's a basic physical
but you're getting won every season of every sport.

Speaker 2 (35:48):
Yeah, there's a Okay, there's so many directions for this
to go right, but like this all happened at the
probably the worst possible time. I think in CrossFit, they're
already hurt because they're you know, they're kind of they're
they're going through a lot of stuff. They're you know,
they're owned by this giant you know kind of you know,
trust fund now, you know what I mean. It's not

(36:09):
like it's not homegrown and homeowner anymore. It's all just
you know, it's very corporate.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
Saw his response, whoever, the numbers are.

Speaker 2 (36:17):
The numbers are more like numbers are what matters, right,
And the games this year had a significantly less budget.

Speaker 1 (36:24):
Than the prior years.

Speaker 3 (36:26):
It's got to be an issue.

Speaker 1 (36:27):
And they first year in Dallas, first year in Dallas.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
But I'll go into that too about what I've heard
from everybody that was there about the entire experience.

Speaker 1 (36:36):
But so.

Speaker 2 (36:39):
This seems like a direct result of massive cuts.

Speaker 3 (36:45):
That's what I was thinking.

Speaker 2 (36:46):
You've got two potential volunteers looking over one hundred people
in the water that has zero visibility.

Speaker 1 (36:53):
And that's the first thing Jimini said is like, volunteers
are fine if they're top of what they do. Volunteers
are probably not good if they're fans.

Speaker 2 (37:03):
That's yeah, And here you got you got, you got.

Speaker 1 (37:06):
N lifeguard so I can maybe meet Rich Froning this weekend.
Oh that's cool, Like, well, and this is dude. These
are the first five people coming right, Yeah, there's no way.
It's not like there's one hundred people in the water
on one spot. Yeah, how do you miss this? There's
five people.

Speaker 3 (37:20):
Everybody's everybody's watching to me.

Speaker 2 (37:22):
Yes, right, and Roumy Klinikov or whatever whoever else was
up there front.

Speaker 4 (37:25):
Yeah, that's that's what That's what happened. They're fans and
they're watching and probably cheering on their fucking you know
battle boards. Meanwhile, meanwhile, you got a guy going down
for the third time.

Speaker 1 (37:36):
They're going from a full swim to a.

Speaker 3 (37:39):
Dead stop to a dead stop and then bobbing and
then just being gone. It's it was so disturbing.

Speaker 2 (37:45):
I kind of almost like this person here on like
what stage right is that called or is that stage life? Yeah,
the person right of the buoy, like they might be
blocked maybe with the boy there. Where is he had
on this part? I don't know where this is freeze framed.
I think he's right there, yes, Okay, oh my god.

Speaker 1 (38:03):
He's making a triangle with photographers and two lifeguard and
he's yelling for help. Well, yeah, I've never been a lifeguard,
never claimed to be. I don't know any guard. Yeah,
but you just see it, and me and Jim talked
about it before I saw the video, and then I
saw the video and you clearly see he's not swimming
like crossfits evolved so far that everyone is pretty fucking

(38:25):
good at what they do. And so you see the
other swimmers and they all look like pro swimmers. They're
all hitting the freestyle perfect and smooth, and and then
you see him not doing that. They got a camera
crew right here on this on this dog six six
plus right at him because they can't shoot the camera
to the right because of that blockade, so the camera's
literally right on him. Yeah, and you have fans diving

(38:45):
in the water exactly. Yeah, that's crazy. They're getting turned
back from the the getting turned away from the paddle
board people. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (38:52):
Yeah, but it's like what fuck that dude? Just keep going.
But also like, who it's so deep right there? Allegedly
a reservoir.

Speaker 3 (39:01):
I don't know anything about it, and.

Speaker 2 (39:03):
I mean how, I mean, like in though, like how
you could it be because the doc is right there,
but if it's man made, but I don't know. Yeah,
it could have been man made, so.

Speaker 1 (39:09):
It could be fifty feet all the way, yeah, drastic.

Speaker 3 (39:12):
Yeah, reservoir.

Speaker 4 (39:13):
Yeah, it could be anything. But I think that the
budget thing is is a big deal. But like Matt
Fraser almost died drowning in twenty seventeen.

Speaker 2 (39:25):
Yeah, and then the what was the Ocean one where
Miko Sola is that la still? I think so gain
his ear drum blown out from the waves. A lot
of people were like when they did the Ocean Ocean
swim like that, almost a lot of people almost got
really messed. A lot of almost happened there.

Speaker 1 (39:45):
Every year seems like an almost I think it was
one of the years in Madison where it was like
a heat wave and they're running like a half marathon. Yeah,
remurf on the Yeah, everyone's just fucking dying on the
side of the thing. Like well, like I understand that
it's supposed to be hard because at the epitome of
this sport, But if the fittest people in the world
are having heat stroke on the side, maybe we're not

(40:07):
testing anything.

Speaker 3 (40:07):
Anya, that's the that's the elements, that's you know, yeah.

Speaker 1 (40:10):
Which is which let's play a factor. But yeah, why
are we why are we dying? Right?

Speaker 3 (40:14):
No, there's no point in it because or a hypothetical.

Speaker 4 (40:17):
Though you can win money at CrossFit if you're really good,
it's not a professional sport.

Speaker 1 (40:23):
Yeah it's hard.

Speaker 2 (40:23):
Yeah, yeah, I guess so they do have agents now,
so it's weird.

Speaker 1 (40:26):
I don't know, Yeah, it.

Speaker 4 (40:27):
Is a weird the people, the people who are running
who like that's actually another issue is the sequencing the
run before the swim.

Speaker 3 (40:34):
Triathlons do not do that. You swim first in triath.

Speaker 2 (40:37):
The problem you're you're that's and I I I agree
with you personally, But I mean, this isn't something new
that these guys have done with the running before and
then after like Watapalooza, there's plenty of workouts where they're
they're doing going back and forth from the water to
running to the gymnastics, and.

Speaker 3 (40:54):
That's just torture porn.

Speaker 1 (40:56):
Yeah, but they are signing up for they are they are.
That's where that was my Devil's out. The kid too is.
I looked up a lot of the data on triathlons
and stuff, and the death rate is insane. There's a lot.
It's one to one hundred thousand.

Speaker 3 (41:08):
Freddy Camacho's one point seven to one hundred thousand.

Speaker 1 (41:12):
Yeah, that's insane.

Speaker 3 (41:12):
Between eighty five.

Speaker 4 (41:14):
And twenty sixteen, one hundred and thirty five race related
deaths in triathlons, sixty percent were whim.

Speaker 1 (41:20):
Yeah and and uh again. I told Jim offcam like,
triathlons are a pretty good like comparison here on the
professional conversation because I don't know the data, but I
assume ninety percent of people that do triathlons are not
professional either.

Speaker 2 (41:36):
Maybe more there's a lot of less in shape people
doing to do it.

Speaker 1 (41:39):
Every weekend. It's a thing you just do with your buddies.
We're CrossFit at this levels, not something us the best
the best, right.

Speaker 2 (41:45):
Also, like he was a water polo player.

Speaker 1 (41:48):
Yeah, yeah, that was all you know, Like, no, I
didn't know that that's.

Speaker 2 (41:50):
Water polo player. He's like, obviously he's in the top.
That was the end of the race. The race is
thirty meters from there, the end because he's got the
finish line.

Speaker 1 (41:58):
Yeah. I mean, if you're a water polo player, you're
an I hung out with a ton. They're not cramped.
They're freaks. Yeah, there's some of the freakis. My all
my buddes from high school are water polo guys, all
end up D one, all American water pool guys. And
I'm pretty strong and I was a pretty good athlete,
but we'd even go in the gym. Now we're on land,
we're in my vicinity, and they're whooping my ass like
they are freaks water polo players.

Speaker 2 (42:19):
So I don't think it was anything physical with his body.
I don't Yeah.

Speaker 1 (42:23):
Yeah, so it might have been his heart related.

Speaker 2 (42:25):
It could have been that aneurysm.

Speaker 1 (42:26):
Yeah, like.

Speaker 2 (42:30):
Do people say with the drowning shit man? No, matter
how good you are at swimming, like if you give
that one good mouthful water, well, freak Really, it's so
hard to recover from that, especially when you're at like
one hundred and seventy fucking BPN, you know what I
mean saying with anything like freak shit happens.

Speaker 1 (42:44):
You know, like you could have been up all night
because your nerves and then you're not hydrating and eating
well and you do cramp up, you double hammy cramp
in the middle of a swim. You could be the
best swimming in the world, but you can't outfight a cramp. No,
But you know, like freak shit just happens for sure,
and you would think, think the real the real responsibility
is on five lifeguards around them.

Speaker 2 (43:05):
That's that's the easy part, because I have to point
a blame at somebody. You got a pointer at them.

Speaker 1 (43:10):
To me, you just can't blame the sport because that's
every sport. Ever, I don't think you can. That's every
that's and and this is like obviously trivial and a
bit straw man, But when everyone talks about dead lifts
is bad for your back, I'm like bro walking across
the streets just as dangerous from more like you can
die everywhere, you can get fucked up everywhere, you can
get hurt doing anything sky diving, right, Like, we can't

(43:32):
regulate all of that, but what we can do is
be as precautionary as possible. And seems we did not.

Speaker 3 (43:38):
Yeah, they could. They could have used flotation devices that
only inflate you're in you're in trouble, that do not.

Speaker 2 (43:45):
Actually, I think going forward, we're gonna see some major
if there's.

Speaker 4 (43:50):
Anything major, If there's anything that's happening going forward, there's
gonna be some major things.

Speaker 3 (43:54):
This could be the end of it.

Speaker 1 (43:55):
I saw the I don't, I don't. I yeah, there's
too I saw the CEO's and it does.

Speaker 2 (44:00):
I didn't know that was going to be in Enough
Texas again, Sorry yeah sorry.

Speaker 1 (44:04):
I mean probably it's probably only place that will take.

Speaker 2 (44:05):
Them well that it has a one year contract and like, yeah,
I mean this what the town wants to be known
for now, like the place of the cross the athlete died.

Speaker 1 (44:12):
I saw the Yeah, the CEO's response on like Twitter
or something. It's just so like corporate, it's super cool.
It's just like joke, don't even put anything out I'm like,
is this dude run in for you know, with the
president race? Like you just read off that prompter. He's
probably never done CrossFit, although he's a fit ish guy,
you know, like he don't give a fuck. He doesn't understand.

Speaker 4 (44:28):
But if you saw the statement that Castro made the
next morning when they was talking about them going forward.

Speaker 2 (44:35):
The athletes just yeah, I got them all together.

Speaker 3 (44:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (44:38):
The last thing he said was I'm sorry, And that
sounds like an admission of responsibility to me.

Speaker 1 (44:43):
I think I just don't think he just knows what
else to say, Like, what else do you say? Yeah,
there's nothing to say.

Speaker 2 (44:48):
There was a lot, so there was a lot of
stuff happening with athletes behind closed doors that were very
vocal at those meetings. And then yeah, obviously uh chose
to make a scene about it and leave.

Speaker 3 (45:00):
Yeah, five or six at the at the beginning.

Speaker 4 (45:02):
And then and then a number uh just about out
of the games altogether, including his brother, including the last
year's winners male and female.

Speaker 2 (45:11):
Yeah, hove Art and Lazar decided not to compete. Yep,
the two champs. Yeah, I don't know the lo Art,
I don't know, like she you know, I don't know
how close she was with him.

Speaker 1 (45:22):
I don't know. I don't know how I feel about
it all that stuff.

Speaker 2 (45:24):
Just like it's also like this was like a probably
a lot of stress on her already because this was
like the first year she had to like really face
like a real tea two.

Speaker 1 (45:32):
Yeah, and she's supposed to win, and she's supposed to win,
Like just like did the pressure get to her? Plus
that was like an easy way for her to get out.
That's why I just don't look too deep in what
the athlete's choice was, because they're just humans and they're
just athletes, like they're supposed.

Speaker 2 (45:44):
Have got a lot on the line that they've sacrificed
together here in that and that can also exist alongside
of also feeling sad that but something tragic happen.

Speaker 1 (45:51):
You can do it all, you can, like we all
have our own shit going on. Like I'm not trying
to like sound insensitive. No, no, no, The Cole thing was
very very hard to decide. You survey one hundred random
about this situation. Fifty will say, yeah, I would continue
to compete for him, Well, dad, exactly, okay, but yes,
of athletes, yes, I said one hundred randoh sorry, So
I'm just talking about humans. If you talk to humans

(46:13):
when you talk about death, there's just too many factors, right,
So half of them are going to say, yeah, I'm
going to compete because that's what he'd want me to do,
and then fifty would say I'm not going to compete
and I'm going to honor him, like both can be respectful.
There's no black and white on a human handles death.
There's no script, there's no protocol. So again, like to me,

(46:34):
it's like, yeah, how does the management handle this, which
seems kind of poor? How does beyond the safety, beyond
the I'm talking about aftermath? Yeah, aftermath, it's how does
the company and the management handle it? Which seems to
be very up in the air because the athletes, I
put no weight on anything any of them, do you
know what I mean? Unless you're disrespectful, which nothing is
coming to me. None of that's disrespect.

Speaker 3 (46:55):
I think that they're on their own side how they feel.

Speaker 1 (46:58):
Yeah, there's just too many factors.

Speaker 4 (47:00):
But the thing that got me in the ceremony before
the next day, they're having the moment of silence, and
there are clearly some athletes who are very distraught, super upset,
and is any one of them comforting any other one
of them?

Speaker 3 (47:17):
Not?

Speaker 4 (47:18):
Not a single fucking one except on the way out,
I saw two women who had their arms around each other,
but nobody is supporting anybody else. It's like they were
I don't know that they were told not to do that,
not to not to be you know, not to be
demonstrative on camera, Yeah, to make it any sadder than
it already was, but it kind of looked that way.

Speaker 1 (47:37):
They also might just not be friends.

Speaker 5 (47:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (47:39):
He was a European athlete. You know, a lot of
these people train. He was a Mayhem athlete, Yeah, which
is like a big, big group. Yeah to me again,
like just going through so much death myself, and how
I know I moved and acted through multiple deaths of
like varying degrees from my literal best friend, my dad,

(48:01):
to like kids I coached, to people I was close
ish with, to friends parents, you know, like I've been
through insane amount of death in my twenties and of
again varying degrees people I kind of knew to all
the way to my literal heart, and how I acted
through it all, Like I didn't hug nobody either, you know.
Again I just don't read too much into it. I'm
at the funeral differently, Yeah, we did like four funerals

(48:21):
for my dad. Long story, but like, yeah, I held
my mom's hand and that was it. But anyone else
trying to hug me up, I probably didn't even hug
him back, not even thinking do it. You know, I'm
just not I wasn't on this planet, you know. And
I know all of us collectively have been through a
lot of death, and so we know, like, yeah, we're
all the opposite again, Like it happens a lot where
my best friend died and the people that kind of

(48:42):
knew them are crying like they just died themselves, you know,
And I'm like, well, look, you do what you gotta do.
But yeah, I knew you guys weren't homies.

Speaker 4 (48:49):
You know, when you're really close to someone who dies, however,
you process it like every fucking day for a really
long time, yeah, forever, And so I like you almost
can't even forward yourself the opportunity to really break down
at the beginning part for sure. You know it's too
because you yeah, and you know that it's just not

(49:09):
going to go away. It's like, you know, well, netter.

Speaker 2 (49:12):
Ever, I feel like it's will never necessarily ever come
out of that shock.

Speaker 1 (49:14):
Now.

Speaker 2 (49:14):
I don't know, I feel like I was never the
same if you think about it.

Speaker 1 (49:17):
No, I think about all the time and you're like, damn,
is that real. It doesn't feel real. And so some
of them just because the proximity might feel that too
and not know what to do, you know, because like, wow,
I was in that water. Well you know, like that's insane.
But I mean without getting to like morbid, but like
pretty much everybody swam over him the body hundred percent percent.

(49:40):
They knew it didn't kind of compartmentalized or deal when
the first realized that happened. Something that did happen. The
first thing, when you just did this really hard event,
you're getting out of the water, someone's telling you what
just happened, right like you just worked your ass off
for an hour trying to win a million dollars and
the first thing you're taking off your golg and said,
you know, homeboys drowned. You know, like all that is
just too messy to like dissect.

Speaker 2 (50:01):
And I think it should have been handled the way
it was as far as letting the athletes decide.

Speaker 1 (50:06):
Yeah, if if half the athletes over the athletes said
we don't want to do this, yeah, then just stop her,
then cut it down because they are getting a little
flack for that, right, Yeah, but they were going to
get flack either way. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I
agree with you. I think who else to decide about
the athletes because like, and then why give flack again?
Maybe it's people. Everyone has different lives, but like you've

(50:27):
never been through situations like this.

Speaker 4 (50:29):
I think it's because they said the family told them
that they wanted to go forward.

Speaker 2 (50:33):
His brother did give him, give them the blessing, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (50:36):
But at the same time, their statements afterwards were not
supportive of him going forward.

Speaker 1 (50:40):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (50:42):
Interesting the whole thing he kind of said with you
might be talking about another thing, but the one thing
I'm remembering is the is the statement about loving the
support that didn't love you back.

Speaker 3 (50:54):
Yeah exactly.

Speaker 1 (50:55):
Yeah, but we I think a lot of us feel
that and know about our sports for real though, you know.

Speaker 2 (51:01):
And I don't know, it's like that part was interesting, Yeah,
Like what does that mean? Is it deeper than yeah?
Or is that interpreted in different ways?

Speaker 1 (51:11):
Right? I interpreted as the same thing we feel about
all our sports, you know, which was historically all of
us have been around cross with Dean in particular for
a very long time and me in and out. But
it seems like, yeah, it's always been kind of business
he driven since twenty thirteen. Right in the beginning, it
was very grassroots and cool.

Speaker 2 (51:29):
I would even say little even later though, dude, because
like even like thirteen.

Speaker 1 (51:32):
To like, yeah, sixteen was kind of left Carson.

Speaker 2 (51:35):
Once it left Carson, everything kind of just I feel
like has been a downward yeah, more more about it
than culturally downward.

Speaker 1 (51:42):
Right where it was so cool, it was so community driven.
It was all about the people.

Speaker 3 (51:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (51:46):
Yeah, I had a number of people reach out to
me just because I posted something about it. People that
I haven't people I haven't talked to very much, people
I don't know in person or whatever, who said that
that their experience with CrossFit was that it became very
toxic and about particularly if you were someone who got
injured and couldn't couldn't keep up whatever, and and and

(52:10):
people would just like basically shun you because you couldn't
because you did, you know, couldn't like compete with them.

Speaker 1 (52:16):
Yeah, gym, which is everyone. It's weird, but everyone's gonna
get beat. I've always been like the granola CrossFit guy.
I did compete, don't get me wrong, but like I
love the like the originalness of it, the roots of it.

Speaker 2 (52:32):
The hanging out, the training as a team. Training was fun.
I think it's fun. Not everybody thinks it's fun, but
it's like, I think it's a good time. I like
doing it with like, you know, people in my neighborhood
or friends. We all kind of do it a basically CrossFit, right,
and I think it's fun, And I think that's like.

Speaker 1 (52:48):
That at that level.

Speaker 2 (52:49):
I think it's good for most people if it's done
right with proper coaching, and like, honestly, you can even
do like CrossFit light without Barbelle work, and it's actually
probably the best kind of training.

Speaker 1 (52:58):
That's what I do, be grabbing three or four dudes
or me and bar doing them together. We're like, all right,
we'll grabbing a salt bike, a rower, and a jump
rope and we'll do ten of each.

Speaker 2 (53:06):
To exactly Like that's that's fun. I think that's fun.

Speaker 1 (53:09):
It's like team aspects, right, you played football, baseball, basketball
doesn't matter, but you're running sprints at the end as
a squad. Yeah, there's something to it for Yeah, And
I honestly I think this whole real sport of it
was an accident, right, Like, and they'll even Glassman, who's
obviously no longer the owner anymore. I'm sure he's happy
about that right now. But like you know, I don't.

(53:30):
I don't think it was supposed to be this. It
was supposed to be just this thing, not this sport.

Speaker 4 (53:34):
Yeah, I know, we've we talked about this a million times,
but there's you know, there's a CrossFit as it happens
in boxes across the world, and there's cross the cross
with games and they're not the same thing. No, they
some some parts of it look the same, some of
the activities and exercises are the same, but it's.

Speaker 3 (53:49):
Not the same thing.

Speaker 2 (53:50):
No, by no, no stretch Like the whole sug sub
brand of CrossFit, and the and the competitive side of
it is so separate from this the show up to
the gym and do the workout, go home side of it. Right,
It's like everybody's selling a program that doesn't even own
a gym. Right, There's all this money to be made
in that realm that brings in just negative some positive obviously,

(54:14):
but also just like a lot of bad crap that
shouldn't be out there.

Speaker 1 (54:18):
You know.

Speaker 2 (54:18):
There's just a lot of different ways for it to
get messed up.

Speaker 3 (54:21):
Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 4 (54:22):
I I really don't know, like what will go forward.
I think that it could. It could hurt the box
level just because it had the taint, uh, and it.

Speaker 3 (54:34):
Could make it very difficult to put one on again
next year. Who knows. I mean, my gut says that
they'll go forward.

Speaker 4 (54:39):
But I've ye, I've talked to plenty of people who
have a little more insight than I do, who think
maybe not not in the way that it's been.

Speaker 1 (54:48):
You know.

Speaker 2 (54:49):
I I would be shocked if it didn't happen, for sure,
But if it didn't happen, I'd also be like, oh, okay,
like I guess, yeah, you know what I mean? Does
that make sense?

Speaker 1 (55:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (55:00):
No, I totally get it.

Speaker 4 (55:01):
Yeah, Like like maybe you know, maybe there's one more yeah,
to prove that it didn't kill it, and then it's
over because they can't, you know, because they can't muster
the funds to put it on in a safe way
or they get, you know that who knows what this
investigation is.

Speaker 2 (55:17):
Sure go Ruck is trying to like scrub everything they
can of their name attached to this death right because
it's the go Ruck CrossFit games, right, Like so now
every time you reach read a headline, like what are
they doing to that? Are they trying to get rid
of that? Are they trying to hide from that? You know,
like there's a lot of things that behind the scenes
that are gonna happen like that that are gonna be
make a lot of strained relationships. They even want to

(55:39):
re sign on their contract. Are they going to sue
them for this contract right? Because maybe they're going to
claim that they came, maybe it hurt their numbers of
sales because their names attached to the same They're gonna
try and suit you for that because the family, Like
how much is the fam? Is the family gonna sue?

Speaker 3 (55:52):
Yeah, the family's definitely gonna suit for wrongful death.

Speaker 1 (55:54):
I would assume that the family suits, right, Yeah, there's
got to be negligence. I mean just based on that.

Speaker 4 (56:00):
Absolutely, it has to be negligence, Like regardless of how
heart attack doesn't matter. Yeah, yeah, it will make something
of a difference if if you if they find out
that you know, it's a heart attack or or an
aneurysm or something like that, but it won't. I mean,
it might be true that that he couldn't be saved,

(56:23):
but the fact is the system failed to try.

Speaker 1 (56:27):
Yeah there was zero attempt.

Speaker 2 (56:28):
Well they got him out of the water, like what
forty five minutes to an hour after.

Speaker 1 (56:31):
No, wait it exactly, Like yeah, that's insane.

Speaker 2 (56:36):
It wasn't like five minutes or no. It literally that
in that freeze frame there with all those twenty yards
max for the next safe.

Speaker 4 (56:45):
If if if they had been watching and that they
needed more people on jet skis to get to people
quickly if they're in distress, Like how can you how
fast can you move on a powder board?

Speaker 1 (56:58):
Pretty if you're good?

Speaker 2 (56:59):
That guy could have said, ah, so you're getting off
the paddle boards jumping in.

Speaker 1 (57:02):
Yeah, yeah, I'm not a great swimmer, and I have
confidence jumping off that paddle board and holding someone up,
especially with your job. That's why you're there. No, that's
literally you're also like did they have any floatation devices
on their back? I couldn't remember. I couldn't. I could
see it. Probably do free hold them out of the water.
That's on how it works. I mean there's those booies.
I mean again, to me, it's all literally just a
lack of pain intention.

Speaker 2 (57:23):
It almost looked like optics for safety.

Speaker 3 (57:25):
Yeah not actually yeah yeah, I like the TSA.

Speaker 1 (57:28):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know. It ain't good.

Speaker 2 (57:34):
The whole thing for sure is that it's fairly tragic,
super sad it is. I obviously did not know this
young guy. I didn't really have any relationship with him
like I do with some of the athletes. But it's
it's messed up and it's sad. I think everybody kind
of handles it is handling it in their own way.
And people now since it's happened, since the games were
actually over, I mean, are kind of fart finally starting

(57:55):
to say their piece about the whole thing. Some of
the bigger names they're trying to there's to post about,
you know how they've been able to kind of I
think digest it and now say like, you know, things
need to change, like this is not you know, this
is just should never have happened.

Speaker 4 (58:10):
I don't think that there has been a focus on
athlete safety kind of at any point.

Speaker 2 (58:15):
Yeah, and they've allegedly that they've all been voicing this internally. Yeah,
and no one's really been answering them. But it's like,
maybe they should have advocated it for hard or more publicly,
and maybe things actually would have happened.

Speaker 3 (58:28):
Or they would have said I'm not showing up, but
the would have to be enough of them.

Speaker 1 (58:32):
Yeah, it's just hard when it's your whole dream life and.

Speaker 3 (58:35):
When it's your whole identity.

Speaker 1 (58:37):
It's such a like a tight community too, Like you
don't want to get like you don't want to be
like shunned in this little tight community. You will never
do anything. It's really hard, very fragile. Yeah, it's hard
to paint the blame on anyone. Besides literally, who's the
director of safety acrossfit if they have that position, I
probably not, Yeah, you know what I mean. But there's
got to.

Speaker 3 (58:57):
Be there's there's got to be risk management, there's got
to like right, I mean.

Speaker 1 (59:01):
Yeah, whoever makes the rules of you have to get
your uh physical before you show up and shit, and
you're now the director and you should have paid attention. Yeah,
for some reason, if I if I had a guess,
I feel like they probably don't do that. That's what
I'm saying. That's insane people, Yeah, they're insane. But the
same thing with like like the most cardiac arrest that
happens with males in particular, but any human under the

(59:22):
age of thirty is elite athletes. Like that's just that's
mood point, you know, Like it's because so like just
because you're fit doesn't mean doesn't mean every NFL game
doesn't have a complete doctor staff on the sideline, right,
actually paying attention to see a lot of it in basketball, know,
every single sport. Yeah, and the I mean I think

(59:43):
we mentioned on the podcast maybe off, but like that's
why Shaquille O'Neil's youngest son couldn't play basketball for a
whole year because they found a heart abnormal somehow. Lebronze
kid too, he had cardiac arrest. Yeah, yeah, but the
but Shak's kid had they found in his physical abnormality
in his harder something and they had to fix it
before he was allowed to play again. I hope for
their sake, like at least they caught it, is my point.

(01:00:05):
You know, it still happens. You could come back find
into physical and a lot of soccer players in college
and stuff have cardiac arrest or kiss a hard issue.

Speaker 3 (01:00:13):
Because they're pushing to add to the absolute edge of.

Speaker 1 (01:00:19):
But yeah, it does make you start to wonder about
some of these other sports like powerlifting and weightlifting just
aren't that dynamic. But like what's going on at these
strongman events local or big, you know, like those are
just as sketchy as CrossFit. And again, Jim and I
talked about off air, like a lot of the sketchiness
comes from the core of the sport, which is quote
unquote like well in randomness, being ready for everything, Like

(01:00:39):
strong Man's a similar version of CrossFit, And we're like, well, like, okay,
that's fine, but as soon as you add variables, now
we're adding bad. As many good variables as you add,
you add just as many bad variables, Like you don't
just get to add sprinkle fun in and nothing bad happens.

Speaker 2 (01:00:53):
What's interesting too, is like I mean there's kind of
the this is kind of the kickstar for the rest
of the year, like a lot of competitions coming up.

Speaker 1 (01:01:00):
Yeah yeah, watas you get the rogue coming up? You
got is rogue in Texas? Still are they still doing
that in Texas. Oh no, which ones, What the hell
moved to Ireland?

Speaker 2 (01:01:09):
Oh no, you're right in Ireland right right. This year
it is for the strong man because of the strong man.

Speaker 1 (01:01:12):
They're right. They did go overseas this year, which is
weird because it seemed to be awesome in Texas.

Speaker 2 (01:01:18):
Yeah, I mean you always got to. I guess I
think they're really true.

Speaker 1 (01:01:22):
They did a hurricane season.

Speaker 3 (01:01:23):
Yeah, yeah, it's cooler.

Speaker 1 (01:01:24):
And I think they're really really trying to go all
in on this strong man thing because they know that
right now, it's like it is cool.

Speaker 2 (01:01:32):
They've sold to every CrossFit gym there is, like okay,
now when you start selling to these strong man gyms.

Speaker 1 (01:01:36):
Yeah, no, I mean it was cool. I watched what's
the Roague been around now three four or five years
maybe there I was at University of Texas. I've watched
it every year. It's very cool. That's great.

Speaker 3 (01:01:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:01:46):
I think it's like the combo makes sense of strongmen
and CrossFit. I wish they would add weightlfting and powerlifting,
like it could be cool. Yeah, it could be very cool.

Speaker 2 (01:01:53):
We know if there's any interest in the whalifting man
that I think wale thing as a whole is right
now is pretty low.

Speaker 1 (01:01:59):
Same with powerlifting, it's just niched out. Everything's it's popular,
but everything's just niched out, where even when we were
doing it, they all kind of hated each other, like
the ones who are fringe. Obviously all of us have
been ambassadors of fitness, but you know, crossfitters, we're talking
shit on strong Man and strong man, we're talking shit
on bodybuilders. I think we're almost more isolated like that. Again,

(01:02:20):
it's weird, right, like no one knows each other. And
the Internet should have brought us tighter and tighter and
tighter and then bigger and tighter, but it's actually just
spread us apart like that. And then the COVID situation, Yeah,
that didn't help any sport ever.

Speaker 3 (01:02:32):
On top of it, well, what's the worst injury that
you guys have seen in competition?

Speaker 2 (01:02:43):
In competition, I have broken elbow with.

Speaker 1 (01:02:46):
My eyes maybe your eyes, maybe that lost finger, Yeah,
I mean ripped pecks and stuff, ripped pecks, ripped hammies.
I was in the same room shout out the bird
dog Brandon Lilly's fall, but I didn't see it live live.
I was just I was forty yards away. But I
remember hearing about Brandon Lillly was squatting over eight hundred
and uh it started to slide off his back, but

(01:03:09):
it couldn't because it was so tight and ended up
like reverse scissoring him with eight hundred flew out both knees,
both squads. First powerlifting meat I've ever been to was
here when Rhino went for that record.

Speaker 2 (01:03:21):
Yeah, Lily was here. He was massive.

Speaker 1 (01:03:24):
Uh yeah that so Brandon Brandon competed that that one
did well, went and busted his knees. Yeah, and then
and then came back here. So you might have saw
his comeback. Yeah, I saw happened all right, So you
probably saw Hi smashing away the first one. Yeah, I saw.

Speaker 2 (01:03:40):
Yeah, he went and he hadn't already because he came
back off the injury.

Speaker 1 (01:03:43):
Uh, and he squatted maybe four five, benched good and
then told one because he's so like this was like
twenty eleven. Yeah, he's well. Yeah, Brandon Brandon was crazy
strong I think here, but yeah, probably the lost finger.
I mean it depends what do you think bad, right,
because I seemed torn like detached packs. Yeah, I mean
I've seen a lot of the same things you see

(01:04:05):
a spotter Yeah, did the auld fall on the ground
he caught. I wasn't close enough to see finger drop,
but I saw the chaos he he caught, uh probably
over seven eight hundred pound squat and as he's catching it,
it also went into the safety strap, so it was
in between the plates and a safety strap. And then
I don't know if he ripped it out or just

(01:04:25):
chopped it. There was issues in it basically ripped off
the whole finger. Did they save it put it back on?
I don't think they tried, but I don't think it
was I think it ripped in and crazy. Where was
that the Bay Area? We won't mention names. Yeah, that,
but that's happened also to one of the best basketball
players I played against. He was a D one scholarship

(01:04:46):
baseball pitcher at UOP and basketball player goes for a
dunk and his finger got caught in the net growing hand.
Uh he don't know, I assume because he was dunking.
But yeah, basketball players dunk both hands. I didn't see
it in per and yeah, ripped is basically the entire
finger beside bone off. Yeah. Yeah, he was throwing nineties.

(01:05:09):
He was probably wouldn't gone pro A ring yeah, that's
what's in my head. I see.

Speaker 4 (01:05:16):
That's why my dad never wore a ring because it
was a mechanic and you yeah, you get, you get.

Speaker 3 (01:05:19):
Yeah, he would just tear your finger out. He needs
to rub Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:05:23):
I so I just don't talk to girls. You don't
want to wear keeping my fingers. I don't want to
wear rubbers anywhere.

Speaker 3 (01:05:33):
I saw a guy rip both uh uh.

Speaker 4 (01:05:37):
Quads deadlifting quads are nasty, like a like at this
the blue at the same time, like could this is
this kind of like jolt shake you could like you
could see them retract.

Speaker 1 (01:05:49):
It was bad basketball. My best friend burst another man's testicle. No, wow,
that was pretty bad doing the same thing. You couldn't
see aim much. They call that popcorning, bro, I think
you can die from its kidding. Yeah, I don't think
it's called whatever he said earlier. What was popcorn for death? Yeah?

(01:06:15):
So that that paused the gain like an hour. We
went back to the locker room type ship. Oh my god.
We didn't even know what happened till a kid, a
friend of mine now transferred into our school from that
school the following year and said, yeah, you burst it. Yeah,
I saw that's why you got too.

Speaker 3 (01:06:32):
That is why that is why you have to It's
a redundancy, thanks evolution. I saw Mark.

Speaker 4 (01:06:37):
Bartley fall in Cincinnati and the early two thousands, like
taurist hamstring so bad that he like he literally like
fell forward out of the monolift.

Speaker 1 (01:06:51):
Oh yeah, I mean it's just like Brandon.

Speaker 4 (01:06:54):
Yeah, and then I'm not remembering him his name, but
it's probably okay. It was a meeting modesto. But everybody's
seen this clip where the.

Speaker 1 (01:07:03):
Choked him out.

Speaker 3 (01:07:04):
No, no, his head head head head.

Speaker 1 (01:07:07):
Yeah, that's in whatever that movie Iron.

Speaker 3 (01:07:10):
It's in Power Limited.

Speaker 1 (01:07:11):
Yeah, Power.

Speaker 4 (01:07:12):
I watched that happen live. That was I was certain
that what did it do?

Speaker 1 (01:07:19):
Just go open? It was a bench shirt, so it
just falls. It's different than like raw he had.

Speaker 3 (01:07:24):
This was similar to this situation where he he had his.

Speaker 4 (01:07:28):
Own spotter on the right side and the guy was
a I don't know, somebody that he trained with who
was a bodybuilder, not a not a powerlifter. And when
you know, when you hand off a bench, the middle
person has to step away so that the middle judge
can see what's going on. Right, well, when the when

(01:07:49):
the middle handoff guy stepped away. The guy on the
other side his friend also stepped away, and so when
he lost it, there was no one there to catch
it except his head. And I thought he I thought
he's got a skull fracture, and I thought this guy's dead.

(01:08:09):
The ambulance came and took him away, and the whole
thing and then crazy thing. Before the meat was over,
he actually was like released from the hospital and came back.

Speaker 3 (01:08:18):
He's like a big bandage on his head.

Speaker 2 (01:08:20):
Maybe it was just like out in the ambulance.

Speaker 3 (01:08:22):
They took them.

Speaker 1 (01:08:23):
Yeah, crazy.

Speaker 3 (01:08:26):
Yeah, Well, meats are long.

Speaker 1 (01:08:27):
Yeah, that's true that it's like six hour day, yeah,
eight hour day. Yeah. Like visually, like dislocations and tears
look the worst, but they're probably not the worst. Like
a dislocated shoulder, dislocated knee just looks like, yeah, it
just looks crazy. Your brain can't compute it. And that

(01:08:47):
happens a ship ton of basketball and ship but fourum
breaks and yeah that's that's oh yeah, like UFC type ship. Yeah,
like those busted ankles that ship McGregor. Yeah, that's it
focks me. Yeah, I've seen a lot. I used to
be tougher. I don't like Oh yeah, I gotta do
the scary movie squint. I want to see it, but

(01:09:09):
I don't want to see it.

Speaker 4 (01:09:11):
It's like Alien Romulus. I want to go see it
when it comes out, But at the same time, I know.

Speaker 2 (01:09:14):
What time frame is that movie based in Queen, the.

Speaker 4 (01:09:17):
First one, in the second one. Well, between alien and aliens,
every alien movies.

Speaker 2 (01:09:22):
Is in a different time frame. You don't know where
is it all taking place? Well, what it is?

Speaker 1 (01:09:28):
I haven't seen any of them. I'm just saying, Oh,
it's an't true. I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:09:31):
It's a it's a crew of essentially thieves and they
break into a what's supposed to be an abandoned space station.
So they're kind of going like the Star Wars methodists
kind they're filling holes. Yeah, but it was supposed to
be really good. But it looks it looks it's a
blend of the of the first two.

Speaker 2 (01:09:50):
I saw some kind of like callback shots and the
and the commercials.

Speaker 1 (01:09:53):
She got some rebox on More Horror.

Speaker 2 (01:09:57):
They use a lot of practical. Yeah, Peple are excited
about less CGI more practical. Like they said that they
made every alien like, uh, prop Oh that's cool.

Speaker 3 (01:10:07):
So yeah, budget that's like the first and second one.
I think, yeah, there's no like stop motion.

Speaker 2 (01:10:13):
I'm sure like they're like, like what two or three
before this one probably had heavy CGI.

Speaker 1 (01:10:17):
Yeah yeah, yeah, even Prometheus or whatever. Thelst like that's
going on a tangent like CGI had peaked for like
the last fifteen years, has not gotten back skin. Okay,
but yeah, I saw a preview for Lelo and Stitch,
which was supposed to be uh live action, you know,
so Lelo's obviously some kind of CGI, and it looks
all right.

Speaker 3 (01:10:36):
Southern with foster trailer.

Speaker 1 (01:10:38):
Do you hear the story? That's where I riot. No,
that's where I riot. They're saying that they're pulling a
Game of Thrones to my beloved lion King. Lion King's
probably you know, like story wise, you get the dad,
you got all plus the songs, plus it was it's
the first movie in theaters that I remember seeing as

(01:10:58):
a kid. You know, I'm fucking sick and I call back.
They're saying that Scar is the rightful king by blood
and move Foss has adopted what and their parents said,
like NASCAR, and that's.

Speaker 3 (01:11:15):
What oh spiral see he's kill monger.

Speaker 1 (01:11:18):
That's fucked right.

Speaker 3 (01:11:20):
He's kill monger.

Speaker 1 (01:11:21):
Yeah, he's a good kill monger. But I'm afraid this
movie is gonna try to turn move faster, but you
can't turn move foss a bad. Like that's crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:11:29):
Yeah, that is very Game of Thrones. You watch House
of Dragons.

Speaker 1 (01:11:32):
I did. I haven't watched it.

Speaker 3 (01:11:35):
I watched the whole fucking thing.

Speaker 1 (01:11:36):
I mean you might as well wait till the next
season's done to watch it. You're gonna be very sad.
I'm a acho's an ender. Oh yeah, I heard the
last one.

Speaker 2 (01:11:43):
It's just it's such a long rain that they're going through,
the very very detailed rain. Yeah, so it's like but yeah,
I don't I guess I don't really know. I'll say
else it could have done, because I did read.

Speaker 1 (01:11:55):
The book and it's similar. They're doing enough, they're.

Speaker 2 (01:11:57):
Doing enough, but it's just it's just they ended it
with like basically like we're just like that's all. It
was basically a big build up to like the next season,
they go nothing really big happens.

Speaker 1 (01:12:06):
Yeah, that's what I heard on Twitter.

Speaker 4 (01:12:08):
Apparently there were originally two more episodes in this season.

Speaker 3 (01:12:11):
There were supposed to be.

Speaker 4 (01:12:12):
Ten, and it was only eight and yeah, and they
pushed that battle that's coming into the next season and
they're only going to be four seasons and there so
there are sixteen more episodes to go.

Speaker 2 (01:12:24):
Okay, yeah, and then well next year we're going to
get that other Game of Throne show before the next.

Speaker 3 (01:12:31):
Season, a Night of the twelve.

Speaker 1 (01:12:34):
Yeah about egg is seven. Yeah, Night of the seven,
I think, yeah, yeah, Night of the Seven Kingdoms. Yeah,
another target, kid, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:12:46):
I think that. Like, here's the problem. I was gonna
say this a couple of weeks ago when Mike and
I have talked about it.

Speaker 4 (01:12:51):
The issue with it is in Game of Thrones, there
were a lot of characters and they bounced around among
these stories and they're each one of these arcs is
in a different place.

Speaker 2 (01:13:01):
Yeah, you know, so you get the like you get
the peaks and valleys of all those it's like the
Lord of the Rings deal, right.

Speaker 3 (01:13:06):
And this is if you took you know, if you
just just the Targerian.

Speaker 4 (01:13:09):
Part of of of Game of Thrones and just made.

Speaker 3 (01:13:13):
That a show.

Speaker 1 (01:13:14):
Yeah, it almost feels like simple.

Speaker 3 (01:13:15):
It's not as interesting.

Speaker 1 (01:13:17):
Yeah, for sure. No, there's not. You to see them
intertwining Game of Thrones is like the amazing part. It's
like a crossover as a kid, like, oh my god,
Spider Man's hanging out with Wolverine. That's how it felt
when like Snow finally meets whatever. You know, he was
built awesome. It was very like sci fi. It was
very fantasy. They edged you good in Game of Thrones.

Speaker 2 (01:13:35):
This when they definitely edge you hard, but they it
it just feels unfinished. It doesn't feel like a rap
on a season. It just felt edging is buddy.

Speaker 3 (01:13:46):
Yeah, there's it's hard to edge without there being hardness.
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:13:49):
Just give you a softy edge, soft edge where you
just stay flasted.

Speaker 1 (01:13:53):
I want to something. Well.

Speaker 3 (01:13:55):
The thing is though, that like if you didn't like.

Speaker 4 (01:13:59):
A particular care characters in Game of Thrones, then you
then like the next character, you might whatever whatever. If
you don't like these people, then you're not gonna like
the show.

Speaker 1 (01:14:08):
And are and the variant that for me, the variance
in Game of Thrones is insane, Like how different the
characters are, like the sum are funny, some are not.
This and that where this. I watched the first five episodes.
That's what I was. So I've watched the first five
I've watched it with my mom, so I don't want to.

Speaker 2 (01:14:24):
You know, yeah, Dragons, you're not usually have watched it.

Speaker 1 (01:14:29):
Yeah, the first five of season one, got it but one,
but I don't want to continue without my mom, you know,
like we'll watch we're on this, we're on the Game
of Thrones journey together too, you know, So you don't
want to.

Speaker 2 (01:14:39):
I did running season one through season two would be great.

Speaker 1 (01:14:43):
Okay, then I'll do that. I'm cool with that. Yeah,
Because so I watched the I think I told this
on the last show, but I watched How Dragons when
it first came out, and it lost me in the
third episode kind of for the same reasons. Jim like,
I'm like, there's no character variation. I don't know who's
who because we're two hundred years past.

Speaker 3 (01:15:00):
Everybody has the same fucking name.

Speaker 1 (01:15:01):
Yeah, they all look the same. It was all just
like you know, and then and then imbreads and everyone
said it was okay. Everyone says season one was okay,
but then season two comes out Everyone's like, okay, this
is something, it's better. Yeah. So then I went back
and gave it a look. It was fine.

Speaker 2 (01:15:16):
I would I would get more satisfaction out of watching
season one and two like right through each other, than
like waiting all this time for season two just to
get edge that hard.

Speaker 1 (01:15:25):
The other issue too, is I was on the Game
of Thrones tip before it was cool. I watched opening
night of opening night of season one, episode one a
Game of Thrones, And the only reason why I did
is because my dad watched it.

Speaker 2 (01:15:36):
So I watched all the HBO shit with him, so
like whenever the new HBO show came out.

Speaker 1 (01:15:40):
Together and then yeah we got hooked. Yeah it was
really good, and so I remember diving deep into that.
I was all about it. And so you spent a
decade with these characters in the story, and now they're
whipping out some two kids you know from two hundred
years past.

Speaker 3 (01:15:55):
John Snow is in the new season of industry Speaking
of HBO show.

Speaker 1 (01:16:00):
Is he in the new Game of Thrones this next year?

Speaker 3 (01:16:03):
Whatever?

Speaker 1 (01:16:04):
They canceled his show because he was gonna have his
own He was gonna have his own show.

Speaker 3 (01:16:07):
But they couldn't figure out how to sustain the concept.

Speaker 2 (01:16:10):
Yeah, they didn't didn't have a story right, there.

Speaker 3 (01:16:12):
Was no source material for it. And also poor guy, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:16:16):
Well I it sounded like he was. I think that
the last season was so difficult to shoot and they
were all fucking tired and they wanted to walk away
from it. And then he'd kind of been away from
it long enough and somebody said, hey, what about this,
and he's like, well, that might actually be you know,
fun because it because it's just I think that the

(01:16:37):
experience towards the end just kind of left a bad
taste and it was kind of like, well, here's an opportunity.

Speaker 3 (01:16:40):
To go back and like make it better for myself.

Speaker 4 (01:16:43):
And then they just couldn't figure out how to how
to break stories, so they said, fuck it.

Speaker 2 (01:16:48):
It's kind of like Dark Knight Rises, right, like that movie,
just like, let's get this done.

Speaker 1 (01:16:54):
Keith Keith, Keith was supposed to be a big part
of this movie. You know he passed. It's got to
be a trilogy.

Speaker 2 (01:17:00):
Yeah, Like and like he apparently he was supposed to
be heavily involved in that next movie to rewrite it,
and they just had to read just get this done.
That's how seasoned last season of the game with get
this story done.

Speaker 1 (01:17:10):
I'm gonna sound like the old guy, but I feel
like there's just not hype around movies like that, Like
I saw that at mid Batman too. Really, I'm gonna
go see that, Like is it like that though? Like
me and like twenty Homies Swear to God, twenty Homies,
Endgame maybe end Games. The last time I did that, yeah,
maybe end Game. We went at midnight in El Dorado
because that was the only theater that had tickets because

(01:17:30):
everything locally was sold out, So we drove half an hour.
We grabbed the Homies, SUVs, bungled in midnight, went and
watch a Dark Knight. Yeah that. The last time I
did that was Endgame. Yeah, Endgame for sure.

Speaker 2 (01:17:44):
We were there at midnight doing that whole thing. Yeah,
but then after that, nothing's done.

Speaker 1 (01:17:48):
I missed that. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:17:49):
The last time I did that was Force Awakens.

Speaker 1 (01:17:51):
I'm so disappointed. Yeah, yeah, I had some hype. I
went the next I went, like the first day. Yeah,
I went that week. I went that week. I was
excited and I liked Force Awakens. It was fun.

Speaker 2 (01:18:00):
Yeah it was fine, but yeah, definitely ye wasn't like
Endgame or.

Speaker 1 (01:18:03):
Yeah, none, this shit's got hype. The last thing I
had hype was one of like Shrek five, But that's
not even about Batman. You think it had the same though, No,
what I'm saying like, oh, that got me to the theater.
Some of those are like Dune too, got me to
the theater. I've heard Dude too, so same thing. I
just watched Dune one, I still haven't watched two.

Speaker 4 (01:18:20):
Two is good, But it's like scenes from Dune. I
think I've said that before, But it's not like a
super coherent narrative. It jumps around and and it tells
you some of the same things over and over again
from different perspectives.

Speaker 3 (01:18:34):
That's yeah, competitive.

Speaker 1 (01:18:36):
It's basically one long movie if a dude one, Yeah,
that's kind of except right away it's.

Speaker 3 (01:18:42):
Yeah, like moments after the end.

Speaker 1 (01:18:44):
Of the Yeah, it technically is the whole first book, right,
But even that, I feel like didn't publicly have the
same hype. I don't know, duds like the biggest movie ever. Yeah,
money Wise for sure. Yeah, I know it's yeah, pretty
good hype, Dead ployd pretty good hype. Remember, And maybe
it's just me being old, but I just don't know.
I don't think people are going to the theaters like that. Bro.

Speaker 2 (01:19:05):
I think it's just like I think Endgame was kind
of the last big thing like that.

Speaker 1 (01:19:08):
The last hurrah, Like I said, the last big they
felt like. The big hrah was this spring when they're
pushing Shrek five, which doesn't come out for another year,
but they pushed it for like a month in March,
and I was like, Oh my god, Shrek is this
is about to do that toy story five. There's gonna
be bangers. There's gonna be a couple of bangers. Batman
two twenty twenty six is or twenty twenty five is yep?
Batman two, yep. Shrek. We have a couple of marvels

(01:19:30):
story Joker, one of the good marvels, right Joker. That's
not this year. Maybe it might be Holidays Holidays. I
think next year's supposed to be one of the marvels
are supposed to be back in the conversation. Not the Marvels,
the people, but those that company. I forgot which one exactly.
I think it was Secret Wars or something. Maybe the
first Avengers is next year. No, that might be too soon.

Speaker 3 (01:19:49):
I don't think it's too soon.

Speaker 1 (01:19:49):
I love how they just maybe a spider Man. There's something,
there's something.

Speaker 3 (01:19:53):
That legitimately with Spider Man. At the moment, I think there's.

Speaker 1 (01:19:56):
Something legitimate happening.

Speaker 3 (01:19:58):
I don't say doom.

Speaker 1 (01:19:59):
Yeah starting six though, Yeah, that might just ruin it for.

Speaker 4 (01:20:02):
Me to bring it back to our our cross discussion
and then figure out how to wrap this thing up.

Speaker 3 (01:20:12):
When we were talking.

Speaker 4 (01:20:13):
About triathlon deaths. A very important point, however, is that
the average age of victims, who you know, people who
died during triathlons forty six point seven. That is not
a crossfitter.

Speaker 1 (01:20:27):
It's a little agy for sure. He was twenty eight. Yeah,
those are. But I also wonder what if we want
to be data nerds, what the average age of the
best trath elites are. That's a good question because that's
probably not eighteen.

Speaker 3 (01:20:43):
No, it's probably not.

Speaker 2 (01:20:44):
It's probably thirties. Yeah, maybe not, because it's interesting. That's
an interesting take.

Speaker 1 (01:20:48):
Its probably later than CrossFit, where CrossFit average is what
do you think twenty five to twenty eight?

Speaker 2 (01:20:53):
How many homeways did you have growing up? We're like, dude,
I'm a big triathlon guy.

Speaker 1 (01:20:56):
Yeah not brod You watched the strathlon this weekend fucking smashed,
so sick. Grab the new trithle On sneaker ones. Yeah,
I feel like the average triathlon cat is probably thirties.
Oh pretty young, Yeah, pretty young, twenty seven.

Speaker 2 (01:21:14):
The fastest athletes are usually around thirty four to thirty five.

Speaker 1 (01:21:18):
Oh there you go. So I'm happy for a full
iron man. So we're peak at we're peak shape for
uh yeah, for sure. Because it's slow twitch, bro, you
get slow twitch forever. Yeah. And then and it's no
not no coordination, but low coordination compared to other sports,
low hand eye compared to other sports. Yeah, low twitch
to compared to other sports. Makes sense, Yeah, it makes sense.

(01:21:38):
So yeah, that plays a role obviously, right if the
if the average age crossfitter might even be younger in
twenty five now, right, aren't there like nineteen year olds
podiuming and CrossFit? Yeah, there's some freaks.

Speaker 2 (01:21:49):
I feel like the well did you have the age
group stuff?

Speaker 1 (01:21:51):
Now?

Speaker 2 (01:21:52):
Yeah, but I feel like most of the top guys
are in the late twenties. Yeah, just because the early
thirties I think maybe, but I think it's like late.

Speaker 1 (01:22:00):
That's like most that's most explosive sports because you do
need like a a combination of experience. There is some
brains and then obviously your body. But there's le Bron
James that motherfucker. Bro.

Speaker 2 (01:22:13):
The VET guys are like mid thirties, which is sad.

Speaker 1 (01:22:15):
Yeah, but I mean Rich was still whooping ass yeah
all the way to He's got to be older than us, right, yeah,
he's right forty now and he was probably whooping ass
at thirty six.

Speaker 2 (01:22:24):
Yeah, but he had physically was like probably you know,
twenty five, all the shit he's done.

Speaker 1 (01:22:28):
Yeah, yeah, that's true. I just saw like some clip
on Instagram. It was like this. I think he's Japanese,
don't quote me, but he's like seventy and they're like,
uh but you know, and they're making up a story
to get clicks, but they're like, uh, you know, by
allogi whys he's thirty. And then I'm watching these eating
veggies and working out. I'm like that dude's on shit.
Like he's on shit, and he does look great for

(01:22:48):
like seventies seventies obviously, you know, but I'm like, dude,
he's clearly just on shit and and worked out. The
thing is he just never stopped working out. Yeah, Like
he's gonna look pretty good still. You can't, you know,
you can't outdose a bad die, it right, Yeah, And
he can't outdose age like you're gonna get there like
someone's gonna flip and all of a sudden, the Rock's
gonna look like he's ninety, you know, like something's gonna
end up doing like Arnold. Yeah, just like yeah, like

(01:23:10):
Arnold looks so so Ronnie Yeah and now dude, Yeah,
we just saw Ronnie here in sack. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:23:16):
That was like I didn't know if like, I don't
know if I liked that.

Speaker 1 (01:23:19):
Yeah, like you know what I mean. I saw him
the week the the like month after his first back
surgery like ten years ago, and he was kind of
like that to.

Speaker 2 (01:23:26):
Me, He's like this like giant, literal literal giant.

Speaker 3 (01:23:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:23:30):
Physical, she lost like a story wise all of it.

Speaker 2 (01:23:33):
Yeah, physic Yeah. And then like you see him in person,
you're like, you're three ft high off the ground.

Speaker 1 (01:23:38):
Yeah. Yeah, he looks like Grandpa that's said. How tall
is he? Like healthy?

Speaker 2 (01:23:43):
I know, it's like his surgery.

Speaker 1 (01:23:44):
Six foot ish, six foot ish like.

Speaker 2 (01:23:46):
Those videos, he looks like he's you know, six five.

Speaker 1 (01:23:48):
Yeah, probably six footage. I would say, I don't know,
but he's definitely not sure, but he's definitely not a giant.

Speaker 3 (01:23:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:23:55):
I was shocked to that by that yeah, and person,
it's sad. It's just sad.

Speaker 3 (01:24:00):
Yeah, this is kind of interesting saying that.

Speaker 6 (01:24:03):
This particular study about triathletes that athletes over age forty
and over between nineteen eighty six and twenty ten, I
found that men over the age of forty four and
women over at forty significantly improve their performance in the
three disciplines and that in the total time taking to
complete the event during that period.

Speaker 3 (01:24:23):
That's crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:24:24):
Yeah, sports are just tough because, like it depends how
much money's involved, and then it depends on how long
you've been doing it, not only to get the mileage
under your body and brain, like I explained, but also
to hone in your habits, right, because same thing is
gonna happen in powerlifting, where physical peak might be twenty two,
but you just don't have enough years under the bar
to build the strength, and then you haven't honed in

(01:24:45):
your sleep, you're nutrition, whatever. So by the time you're
forty four and you've been doing triathlons for ten years,
you just have realized more systematically what you need to
do your best plus the reps, and so you're there.
But pure biology, I doubt forty four is the best
for endurance. Probably they just got the road time, they
got the bike time.

Speaker 4 (01:25:05):
Yeah, and they've developed developed efficiency in their training, right right,
and steroids probably steroids.

Speaker 1 (01:25:12):
There's probably something.

Speaker 2 (01:25:14):
And that's kind of that age where you start dabbling
in TRT.

Speaker 4 (01:25:17):
I watched I don't know if you if you saw it,
but the the twenty fourteen Giants team that had a reunion,
the last World Series team.

Speaker 3 (01:25:28):
Yeah, they had a reunion over the weekend.

Speaker 4 (01:25:30):
There was a ceremony before the before the game, and
I swear to god, it looked like an advertisement for TRT.
Sure they looked sick, they looked sick, they looked like generally,
they looked really good.

Speaker 1 (01:25:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:25:41):
Yes, Madison Bumper.

Speaker 4 (01:25:43):
There's like his like a single peck is the size
of Buster Posey's head.

Speaker 3 (01:25:48):
Yeah, you know, like Jesus Christ.

Speaker 1 (01:25:51):
These guys, dude, they're all got all the peptide stuff.
We haven't we haven't talked about it too much, but
twenty twenty five is the first drug olymp and so
that'll be many appos guys doing that thing. They're doing
it for real, and I'm stoked. I'm stoked a million
bucks to break any all time record.

Speaker 2 (01:26:09):
That's crazy. Not Olympic record, but like world record, world.

Speaker 1 (01:26:12):
Record, maybe Olympic record. I think it depends on the
sports because they haven't solidified what sports they're gonna have,
Like they might have MMA in there, they might have
a bunch of random sports. I mean, same with the Olympics. Bro,
we're throwing flag football on there. What the fuck is that?
There's a lot of things that shouldn't be there. There's
no how many countries play flag fucking American football.

Speaker 4 (01:26:29):
Well that's interesting because like, like wrestling is out.

Speaker 1 (01:26:33):
Right, which is like the five staples of the Pentastics.
The last year for wrestling, I think it.

Speaker 3 (01:26:39):
Might have been I don't think they had it this year.

Speaker 2 (01:26:40):
No, they did, because the same guy won gold for
the fifth Olympics in a row.

Speaker 1 (01:26:45):
Yeah, and our lightweight American guy maybe fifty six or
sixty three, I don't know. The quilo went batshit crazy.
He had injuries in the past and so everyone like
questioned him and then he showed him and just shit
on everybody. It was sick. But literally, wrestling is in
the Pentathlon, which is the Greek Olympics that the Olympics
are based on. Yeah, yeah, we're gonna get rid of
it for flag fucking.

Speaker 2 (01:27:04):
Football and weightlifting is on that chopping block.

Speaker 1 (01:27:07):
Yeah, weightliftings probably generation you know two or three. Yeah,
and they added literally flag football and I love football,
but let's hit a motherfucker, you know, like where these
Norwegian Swiss motherfuckers scared of a little contact. They want
to play our sport, but just do touch doesn't make
any sense. So fuck is that.

Speaker 2 (01:27:25):
There's a lot of soft ship though in the Olympics, right,
very fucking.

Speaker 1 (01:27:28):
Soft we all get really, Although I watched replays of
the Thriller, uh floor gymnastics stuff. Yeah, that was banging.
That's top tier athleticism and entertainment. It was so good. Yeah,

(01:27:48):
she's flipping that thing around like she's a goddamn magician. No,
that was insane. That was will Farrow and Blades's glory.
That was one of the best things I've ever seen.
And then she hits the thriller because you got to
do a little bit app for it. That was amazing.
That give all the respect to that support. Yeah yeah, yeah,
what is it called a rhythmic gymnastics? They used the

(01:28:09):
little tassel thing.

Speaker 5 (01:28:10):
She had a.

Speaker 1 (01:28:10):
Hula bro and she's she's following this thing around, doing
a triple backflip and catching her with her teeth. Yes,
she was going crazy. It was honestly very impressive. And
then adding good music helps because typically it's most hard
and shit, that's not gonna as soon as it starts,
the cloud crowds clapping, bro it was fire, it was fire,
and she killed. I don't even know where she was from,

(01:28:31):
but I loved it. Win that I don't even know,
but she won my vote. She won my face. So did.

Speaker 2 (01:28:38):
We tied on gold medals with China, but then had
more overalls. I think we both had forty.

Speaker 1 (01:28:43):
I love that argument because now again this Olympics being
the most memorable in history. Because social media is on fire, right,
every country starts to report the rankings in what's advantageous
for them, right, So China reports the list based on
we report the list based on overall, because we have
a hundred more overall. And then these motherfucking talking about pussies,

(01:29:08):
these European pussies. Most silvers they did the European Union,
which is like thirty countries combined to go medals. You
gotta spin it dog just to beat us. That looks Russian,
like a Russian at all. Maybe she crushed it.

Speaker 2 (01:29:25):
Are they still not showing the Russian flag on the.

Speaker 1 (01:29:28):
The Russian is not allowed to compete, but the Russians
are on which is insane. That whole thing's insane too.
Russia can't compete, but there are people who probably are
just on government drugs the same are allowed to compete
as independents. Ukrainian shout out to the Ukrainian thrillers. That
was absolutely spectacular. Did you.

Speaker 2 (01:29:50):
So at the cross of Games they don't show the
Russian flag either. It's like, oh, calm down.

Speaker 1 (01:29:54):
That's just political because everyone there is on shit.

Speaker 2 (01:29:57):
They gray it out or whatever the flag. That's crazy
at the cross A game because they're at the Olympics.
It's purely because North Korea is allowed to flash their
flag in the Olympics. It was purely because a certain
number of people got caught on drugs. So why is
CrossFit blowing it out?

Speaker 1 (01:30:12):
They're just being political. That's weird. Yeah, that's weird because
North Korea is allowed to represent themselves in the Olympics,
and clearly they're more controversial than Russia on the global scale. Yeah,
and they're allowed to rock and roll. That's a great
that's a great moment too. Let's end it on some
happy notes. You saw the selfie with South Korea North
Korean athletes. It's fucking sick.

Speaker 2 (01:30:32):
They're good, great, freaking sick. It's all get together.

Speaker 1 (01:30:35):
That's literally the Olympics. And yeah, and that's right, and
I'm glad that it pretty much nothing really diverted that
minus our one, our manus, our guy talking crazy Lyles
is the only one man really rubbed me wrong. You know,
everything else was so beautiful. Did did we Sudan? We've
obviously you haven't stopped talking about with the South Sudan
story is so good, fucking so good. Did the fingernails

(01:30:57):
girl win?

Speaker 2 (01:30:59):
I only saw the I think she won the U
for sure. The relay relay for she doesn't count though.

Speaker 1 (01:31:06):
Did you see the I thought about that.

Speaker 3 (01:31:08):
The mixed relays and swimming in.

Speaker 1 (01:31:10):
In track, No, I didn't.

Speaker 3 (01:31:12):
I've heard teams of men and women.

Speaker 1 (01:31:15):
That's cool. I don't mind.

Speaker 3 (01:31:16):
Yeah, I don't.

Speaker 4 (01:31:17):
I guess they did it maybe in the last Olympics too,
I don't remember having seen it.

Speaker 1 (01:31:20):
I'm sure we won, right. The decky's a freak. I
don't know, she's a fucking freak.

Speaker 2 (01:31:24):
If she was in the pool, we have to have
won everybody by like a full length bro they're zooming out.

Speaker 1 (01:31:28):
They had to switch lenses on the camera to get
the full pool because she's eight laps ahead. She's a freak.

Speaker 3 (01:31:34):
Yeah, And people are complaining about the pools as well.

Speaker 1 (01:31:38):
They're always I feel like they always complain.

Speaker 4 (01:31:39):
Every year they're not they were not as deep, and
so when it when there's not as deep, the surface
is a lot more.

Speaker 1 (01:31:48):
Waves, wavy. It sounds like a bunch of pussies. Again.

Speaker 2 (01:31:51):
I feel like every year there's like someone critiquing, like
the like the yeah, the temperature was off this year,
or the buoys were too.

Speaker 1 (01:31:57):
Big this year, or a bunch of pussies. You know
they're wearing like six head caps now, you know, like, yeah,
just put a jet on your back.

Speaker 4 (01:32:05):
Did you see the video of the guy who retrieves
the caps from the bottom of the pool.

Speaker 1 (01:32:10):
They throw them in assholes while they fall off. Just
get a little labrador retriever.

Speaker 3 (01:32:15):
Yes, this guy?

Speaker 4 (01:32:17):
Uh speed, oh colorful speed, oh nothing else? Serious paunch
hell yeah, tallish guy just drops into the water and.

Speaker 1 (01:32:28):
He's probably a reserved dude.

Speaker 2 (01:32:29):
Kelsey's dad bought one of those, like uh, motorized like
swimming things. Have you seen him? You like hold on
to them. It's almost looks like handlebars.

Speaker 1 (01:32:36):
Yeah. You go underwater though, like deep sea dive. Yeah,
those are sick. Yeah, it's like it's like a underwater jets,
but you can use it like above water too, and
just like cruise. Yeah yah, I've seen them, dude. It
goes so fast. I've seen people in like Hawaii using
that ship Coral fast.

Speaker 2 (01:32:51):
And I use it like in this pool and I
just go down just like cruise into.

Speaker 1 (01:32:55):
Those looks sick. Those look sick. They had like many
submarines like that too, where I think you're sitting in it. Yeah. No,
it's just like this thing's only Yeah, it's like it's
like motorcycle handles only. Yeah. Yeah, those are sick, dude.

Speaker 2 (01:33:06):
It's it goes way faster than you think.

Speaker 1 (01:33:09):
Well, and in water that's even like my electrical bicycle.
You know you're going twenty, but you just don't. You're like,
fuck this pretty fast. You know, when you have nothing,
no windshield in front of you, you're like twenty is moving
so even ten miles per hour in a pool.

Speaker 2 (01:33:19):
Dude, you probably feel like you probably scri but I
feel like I'm screaming down the pool because how fast
are our dumbass is swimming?

Speaker 1 (01:33:24):
Not that fast? Dud? Yeah, no, I can't swim for shit.
Overall Olympics, big plus la, here we come. I gotta go.
I gotta go to something. I gotta go to that
I would like to go to. I gotta go to
the World Cup for sure. I'm already working on tickets
for that because that's two years away.

Speaker 2 (01:33:40):
You just kind of get what you get there, right
like you World Cup. Yeah, whatever game you get.

Speaker 1 (01:33:44):
If it's your book a day, if it's like the
first day, you can do it, or yeah, you know,
I'm Argentina in and so the chances of us going
to the championships quite high, and so we'll I'll just
buy those tickets and hopefully although I think it's in Houston, unfortunately, Yeah,
you buy a round and you hope it thought it
was here. So it's all North America. So it's so

(01:34:05):
Fi Santa Clara, Kansas City, Seattle, Miami, and like Houston
and Jersey there were a huge soccer town. There's gonna
be impossible to get tickets. So I already got shout
out home Girl bree Breeze got forty nine or season
tickets so they get DIBs on event priority. Yeah, it'll
cost but I told her, I was like, bro, I'll
pull out a credit card for this one, like Bessie,

(01:34:27):
like you know what I mean? Yeah, Like I got
to There's just no way I can't take my mom
to that. Like it's gonna be so epic.

Speaker 2 (01:34:34):
Columbia Soccer public season start.

Speaker 1 (01:34:36):
When does the sac Republic Stadium get built?

Speaker 2 (01:34:39):
I keep playing at Cale Expo Barnyard.

Speaker 1 (01:34:42):
Dude, the fuck is going on? Okay, one time though,
I had like those box seats on the front fire.
Those games are I felt like, I was like Lebron James,
those games are fun. You're a celebrity row at all.

Speaker 2 (01:34:55):
And Jason, my boy, Jason with photographers got a bunch
of like pro photos me front row obviously posted.

Speaker 1 (01:34:59):
Shades we didn't talk about on here, but uh I
remember when it happened. But it's come to fruition. A
Las Vegas group, a hotel group, Silverado Group purchased water
World right there. Oh yeah, and they're blowing it up
in the best way. Yeah, they're gonna do there. They're
doing half summer slides, but I forgot the number. I had,

(01:35:23):
like a Roseville situation or Rockland, but then a full
like theme park for the winter and what you know,
like more ride rides.

Speaker 2 (01:35:30):
Like almost like a six Flags I think so.

Speaker 1 (01:35:34):
So I think they have all that land in the
back they took they bought.

Speaker 2 (01:35:36):
Yeah, I think about it, the land that remember that
land caught on fire?

Speaker 1 (01:35:39):
Yeah yeah, yeah, because it's right by the river. There's
nothing there, Yeah, build it out. I think it'll be good.
And so I think that's like coming to ish completion
next year. Guys. How about Gavin Newsom just being like, hey, Cities,
where's what are you guys doing with the homemus? Yeah?
And then you see him, she sees, what.

Speaker 2 (01:35:53):
Are you guys doing? I gave you, gave you all
this time.

Speaker 1 (01:35:55):
What's going on? He said? There's a there's a tweet.
I don't think it's from them, so someone might be it.
But it was like Newsom's running out of patients with
Cities and then it's a clip of him picking up trash.
I saw that, and I'm like, that's got to be
a setup, Like there's no way you're convincing me that
he's so pissed off at anybody, and now he's just
gonna go pick up He's just pick up a tire,
sneak out of the out of the Governor's office laundry.

Speaker 3 (01:36:17):
But he moved out of Sacramento.

Speaker 1 (01:36:18):
He's out. Yeah, yeah, Santa Rosa.

Speaker 3 (01:36:23):
Yeah, because his kid got bullied at Mike's school.

Speaker 1 (01:36:25):
So yeah, I couldn't find that he went to your school.
He's got what four kids, and I think two were
going to lower school. And that's just impossible. That's true.
There's no way you're getting bullied there for what. No, bro,
it's literal hogwarts. Dude. You can't get bullied there. I
went there for thirteen years, coach there for five. It's
impossible to get bullied. And if it is, it's like

(01:36:47):
nothing but your paper machees. Yeah, got too much glue, dude,
you got I got made fun of because I was
bad at art, Like I got bullied, you know, and
I'm the cool kid, Like it doesn't happen.

Speaker 3 (01:36:57):
Yeah, your mom works there, Yeah, d No, we ran.

Speaker 1 (01:36:59):
The place, ran all the sports out. Yeah, you don't
get bullied there.

Speaker 2 (01:37:03):
That place is just a summer camp. That's like long extended.

Speaker 1 (01:37:05):
It's Hogwarts literal. Yeah, yeah, minus the dark witchcraft. We
don't believe in that. Yeah, light stuff only he.

Speaker 3 (01:37:11):
Does have a wand though sure all I had to
keyster it in.

Speaker 1 (01:37:15):
Well, I mean you do it. You do like a
school thing for like the Renaissance Fair and shit, you know,
like a school field trips and Renaissance Fair.

Speaker 2 (01:37:22):
I did see they put all those rocks under the
freeway though on like twenty eighth.

Speaker 1 (01:37:25):
Yeah, a lot of places over here you have those.

Speaker 2 (01:37:27):
Big sharp white rocks. Those that's probably helped, no, for sure,
because you can't set up.

Speaker 1 (01:37:30):
Anything on Thosese. You ain't going to night night on it. Yeah,
and less fires like given us. You know, we had
a bunch of fires. We got less fires. That things
are improving, the world's come together for World Cup twenty
twenty eight.

Speaker 3 (01:37:42):
Thirty percent reduction in the homeless popult.

Speaker 1 (01:37:45):
Yeah, there is a drop. Where are they I've heard
that that I don't know. They're they're up sixteenth. Me
and college just drove by them.

Speaker 2 (01:37:50):
They're up six What I've saw a whole lot more
of is instead of just going like Thomas tents and stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:37:55):
I've seen like like just single bodies, just like single bodies.

Speaker 1 (01:37:59):
Yeah, because they're.

Speaker 2 (01:38:00):
Not able to like they're really trying to stop them
from like setting up shop. Yeah yeah, yeah, it's like
they just got to keep migrating every day.

Speaker 1 (01:38:05):
I think federally they dropped the law like the year
or the week after news and made that statement saying
that you're not allowed to sleep like it's on again.
Cities and states to rule it, but you're not allowed
to sleep on public which makes sense man.

Speaker 2 (01:38:18):
Yeah, but there's got to be somewhere for them to
go for sure.

Speaker 1 (01:38:20):
But we've built that up for the last eight years.
You know, we we bought hotels and switched them. Obviously
very complex problem. No, we can solve this right here,
right now. Let's do it. I mean I probably couldn't,
but they, you know, they they've tried that method, I
guess is what I'm getting at. It's it's about the.

Speaker 3 (01:38:36):
Well I think that's that's part of where the reduction
came from.

Speaker 1 (01:38:39):
I think, yeah, I'm sure it did something.

Speaker 4 (01:38:41):
Yeah that didn't just like running people out and having
them go somewhere else.

Speaker 1 (01:38:44):
And it's one hundred and ten degrees and they didn't
want to live here, which I don't blame them, Yeah,
grabbing a bus pass somewhere.

Speaker 2 (01:38:49):
Else, Jim, should we rank this Olympics season?

Speaker 1 (01:38:52):
Oh? We can? I think we should sure or whatever something.
I have some really fond Olympics in my mind. Yeah,
that's why I thought maybe, you know, like the Atlanta
Atlanta was like the first one I remember watching. I
almost wore my Atlantic in Atlanta ninety six hat like
I remember Muhammad Ali was his torture, you know, or
a torch carrier and I'm fucking eight, like you know.

(01:39:13):
And then the one after that, when I was in
high school and then college, like there's some really good memories.
Was the one when the dude shot the bow and arrow,
the flaming arrow into the cup. Was that?

Speaker 5 (01:39:26):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:39:26):
I don't know. I thought that was maybe it.

Speaker 1 (01:39:28):
Was maybe be awesome though. I think Atlanta was lit
by Muhammad. I think he was the very last one,
right yeah, yeah, yeah, a little Shimmy parkinstance. Yeah, I
remember the bow that that feels like some London Robin
hood ship. I have some. I have Muhammed all these
time boxing clothes, my bo That's fire how much? Maybe
that's my favorite athlete all time. I'll sell him too.

(01:39:49):
I'll look it up. Maybe I'll do some trad z's.
I got some insane shit. So Taika, my nephew basically
just got into basketball cards. So it got me digging
through what I have. I got insane Oh shit, oh shit,
shack autograph on a plaque. Oh, Grant Hill on a ball,
Ray Allen on a ball Barcelona. Wow, that was dream Team.

(01:40:10):
That was dream Team. Those are good documentaries too. Okay,
So you know, if we're going five Gold Medals ranking, right, yep, gotcha. Yeah,
this one might be like a three point eight because
I don't have TV TV, so I had to you know,
hunt down to watch, which doesn't feel as good right

(01:40:31):
as you say. You just turn on NBC back in
the day and it's just fucking showing you love, which
was really cool. But yeah, good three eight and maybe
the best one I've ever watched is like a four
to two. Right, Like, none of them are fivers.

Speaker 2 (01:40:42):
So if you don't have the peacock, I don't got shit.
Uh that that's influencing my score? Yeah, because it helps, right,
it was a game changer.

Speaker 1 (01:40:49):
Yeah, I watched a lot of the soccer. Was really fun.
Argentina got booted early, but it was beautiful as all.
July was Cope America, which we won of course. Yeah,
and then straight into the Olympics, so I had I
had an nice bridge of sports this summer.

Speaker 2 (01:41:02):
I was fishing when some guys were watching the game
the final game absolutely nuts behind me and I'm like
fishing off its like like, oh shit, that game's on.

Speaker 1 (01:41:10):
Yeah, it was fun. I'm gonna go four out of five.
I enjoyed it because I also I feel like it's one
of the years where I really kind of settled into
it and watched probably more than I have in a
long time. Yeah, I did enjoy it a lot. Yeah,
less when I watched watch it was probably twenty twelve.

Speaker 2 (01:41:23):
Yeah, I would probably say, like I watched some of
the weightlifting always, Yeah, I didn't watch this year, but dude,
I felt like also like, also, I'm giving a four
because the Peacock Dude, like, I know, it's another damn stream.

Speaker 1 (01:41:34):
What you was sponsored today? Me and Snoop are on
the pay roll. So dude, the way they had the
hub set up, they basically had its own the open
up Peacock app and then there was like the Olympics Hub.

Speaker 2 (01:41:46):
Yeah, and then it had everything that was live. All
the sports are little icons so you can slick on
the sport, and then everything was categorized. It was the
easiest experience to watch anything you wanted smart at any time.
Seems like a no brainer.

Speaker 1 (01:41:57):
It was. It was done, and I think this was
like the first Olympics with like peak streaming. Yeah right,
so like they just absolutely nailed that side of it,
which made it for me very like enjoyable because I
didn't have to think about it.

Speaker 3 (01:42:08):
They tried it in twenty twenty one, but they were
not ready.

Speaker 1 (01:42:10):
They weren't. I remember that it was a disaster. Yeah,
it was.

Speaker 3 (01:42:12):
It was not good.

Speaker 2 (01:42:13):
Peacock was not did not have the money to do that.

Speaker 3 (01:42:15):
They clear cleaned it up.

Speaker 1 (01:42:16):
Another story that I wanted to mention that we didn't
get into. Do we know how our dude's beach volleyball went?

Speaker 3 (01:42:21):
Oh? I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:42:23):
So my boy Chase Butdinger was an Arizona I want
to go to Arizona to play basketball because that's where
all the good point guards came from when I was
growing up. Chase Bunninger was a power Ford small forward
there played with Houston. Had a ten year NBA career.
Wow retires, says FuG It goes to the Olympics for
beach volleyball sick, sick. I remember I watched our women's

(01:42:44):
gold medal match beach, I think so, yeah, San, Yeah,
I think he was indoor or excuse me, outdoor, yes, beach.

Speaker 2 (01:42:50):
Last thing I remember watching I think was women's teams.
I think it was Saturday. It was women's teams indoor
and we got silver.

Speaker 1 (01:42:57):
That stuff's fun, too, bro, I don't like volleyball, but
volleyball watching lives pretty sick. It's fun.

Speaker 3 (01:43:01):
Yeah, I'm trying to see who we.

Speaker 1 (01:43:05):
Might not have. But historically women won, right, Probably historically
guys and girls are pretty good at beach. We're always
facing some Brazilians and motherfuckers that are pretty sure the
women won. Born on sand.

Speaker 3 (01:43:14):
But like that schedule here, but I don't have outcome bastards.

Speaker 1 (01:43:20):
Well, shout out the Chase budding here. I don't know them,
but I was a big fan.

Speaker 3 (01:43:24):
Yeah he's listed here.

Speaker 1 (01:43:26):
Yeah. I just thought that's such a cool story. That's
so rare. There was a bunch of rare cool stories,
was it.

Speaker 2 (01:43:30):
We didn't even get it. We didn't even get top three,
and man's.

Speaker 1 (01:43:32):
God, damn it, Chase. He's young enough, bro, He's probably
like all right, he'll make it.

Speaker 2 (01:43:35):
Nobody's like Sweden one, Germany got second, and Norway got third.

Speaker 1 (01:43:39):
They even got beaches over there them. We're coming back, beaches. Yeah,
we're coming back. She got Jim.

Speaker 4 (01:43:46):
I would say, I would say probably like maybe a
a high three or four on this one. And I've
and and really kind of what it did for me
was was the South Sudan connection.

Speaker 1 (01:43:58):
Yeah, so good.

Speaker 4 (01:43:58):
Yeah, like knowing going in what I was going to
see and being able to talk to Jacob, you know,
when they were not playing and have him tell me
what was going on behind the scenes and stuff like
that made it.

Speaker 3 (01:44:11):
Like super personal to me, rare and cool.

Speaker 2 (01:44:14):
Yeah, what happened again? What do you so what I missed?
Like I'm missing something?

Speaker 1 (01:44:18):
Our buddy is straight the conditioning coach for South Sudan
and the president of the team in the entire program
is a friend of ours and so lu Al Dang,
who played with the Chicago Bulls, was the president basically
of South Sudan basketball, and he's been a huge advocate
for not only like charity work and philanthropy, work, but
basketball is a sport to bring that about and all

(01:44:40):
the entire continent. And then yeah, they were the first
South Sudanese team. I mean the country's been around since
like twenty twelve, so it was the first team to
ever qualify for anything. Then there was the first African
team ever to win a game in the Olympics because obviously,
like other other countries have qualified because I think it's
a whole fancy point system, but Africa typically sends at

(01:45:02):
least one team. But they're the first African team to win.
And I think Nigeria showed the Nigeria women. I think
they went even to like the Semis and they made
a run, which was the second team to ever win
a game and the first team to win an elimination game.
But I know the whole coaching staff is Luell's brother
and his homie Flow like these guys that I've been
on trips with and shit and just some of the

(01:45:22):
kindest people. And I feel, you know, one percent of
what Jacob wrote in his story shout over with Jacob,
you know, talking about how the South Sudanese people had
brought him in and he's a white dude from Texas.
You know, South Sudanese are typically like the most dark skinned, tallest,
like like you know, like so different from our world
looks wise. And obviously a lot of these guys are refugees,
so they grew up in Europe and a lot of

(01:45:44):
them went Jersey because that's where Luau went and different
things like that. But me hanging out with them too
was the same thing. I went on a week long
trip with a bunch of them and just how accepting
and like kind hearted, like golden hearted. You could feel
their energy. They're all smiling, laugh and having a good time. Yeah,
so we're just conection as the coaches. Cool. Yeah, it
was really really cool. Yeah, really really dope. And then

(01:46:04):
we talked about in the last podcast, but I've already
seen it coming true where yeah, obviously globally, politically internationally,
making light of Africa and and what people perceptions may
be of Africa as athletes are as people was obviously
way turned up. But as an individual level, there are
already waves of getting these guys some contracts in the league. Yeah,

(01:46:26):
like this dude's an NBA guy, Like get them a
fucking look. Yeah, So that's all really really really really fun,
but I agree, and the team's you know, middle age ish,
so they might have a chance. Like obviously they had
at seventeen year old as like their sixth or seventh man,
which is dope. He's gonna be played duke this year,
but a lot of their guys are yeah, like twenty seven,
so they might have another run at them next Olympics.
Should be sick, that would be I mean, obviously I'm

(01:46:48):
going to that that one's in. That's in.

Speaker 4 (01:46:50):
He would have to take a back to the future
to Delaorean there, but yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:46:54):
No, no, just take a little bullety, a little bullet train.
That's the goal.

Speaker 3 (01:47:01):
From fres Now.

Speaker 1 (01:47:02):
No, I think they're doing one from Vegas, and then
I think they're doing one because of the World Cup.
They're trying to get one done from San Diego to Seattle.

Speaker 3 (01:47:09):
Oh geez, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:47:10):
Oh wow. How fast is it supposed to go? I
think all that three hundred whatever. Yeah, it's ripping. Yeah
all that. Uh, that's like the big play because yeah,
