(00:09):
All the kids that are at thestudio today, have a little party in
the conference room. Just took alittle trip to the gas station for some
specks. Crank it up some biggieon the way there. Edited versions only.
How're back. They are satiated doingsomething with a phone. And here
(00:31):
we are. It is the twentyfifth of July, one day before the
Olympic opening ceremonies. For this twentytwenty four we do have some Olympics stuff,
including an update to the Celine Dionstuff we talked about yesterday, as
well as and this may be myfavorite thing that happens in the Olympics,
or at least during our discussions ofit, the Olympic sports that used to
(00:52):
be but aren't anymore insanely watchable intwenty twenty four. These would have been
specifically one of them that we'll getinto. Plus we're going to discover whether
or not And you hear me breathinghaving a hard time with the nose today.
I think it's because I mowed thelawn two days in a row.
I just it's all mouth stuff today. We're full on caveman. Today.
(01:18):
We're also going to discuss whether ornot it's better to say sorry and do
nothing, or say sorry and givea little small gift, because if the
computer crash that was last Friday hastaught us anything, maybe just don't do
anything. Plus and finally, thankfully, I should add gen Z is loaning
(01:52):
us some of their slang for theupcoming election, and we have a glossary
of terms to go over gen Zslang terms. I don't know if there's
an older way to present something thanthe way we're going to do it.
It's going to make us all feeland sound ancient me right at the tip
(02:14):
of that spear. But first Iwant to get to the update on Selene
Dion. We talked yesterday about howshe was going to perform at the Olympics,
mentioned also that Lady Gagai is thereto perform. Turns out they're going
to perform together, which is prettycool. They're going to sing Edith Pioff's
iconic lavienn Enro, which is I'msure a song we've all heard in French
(02:38):
before, but the two of themtogether pretty exciting. It'll of course be
her first performance. Selene's not LadyGanghas since she revealed that stiff person syndrome
diagnosis. That was what two yearsago, and we mentioned and I won't
get into it again, but thedisease via the documentary. This is the
only time I've ever heard of thisdisease, much less learned anything about it.
(03:00):
When she gets stressed or excited,to just any emotion above normal emotion
rate, if you think about itlike a heart rate, it's if that
heart rate gets up a little bit, if the emotion gets up a little
bit, the syndrome kicks in.And I know she's been a performer for
years and years and years, butit's a terrifying prospect I would imagine.
(03:23):
I mean, it's only a fewbillion people watching the opening ceremonies, and
specifically music fans are going to freakout when they see her. Can she
not freak out? And I mentionedit yesterday and I'll double down on it
today. This is one of theonly performances I have ever wished the artist
(03:45):
would lip sync. Just be there. It's exciting. Speaking of the Olympics,
so as you can imagine these websitesthat we visit or use to come
up with topics sites, you know, that kind of thing for not just
me, but every single radio personin the history of radio. You can
(04:06):
imagine right now a lot of thatis Olympics based, and so you know,
here's some fun facts surrounding the openingceremony. Did you know that England
and Paris or London in Paris arethe two most popular cities to host the
Olympics, three times for each.The last time Paris did it was I
don't know, like nineteen twenty fouror something like that. And then I
think it can't be right. Itwouldn't grease be. It doesn't matter Athens,
(04:30):
didn't they have a whole colleg orwhatever. The part that mesmerized me,
however, and by mesmerized, Itruly mean made me drift off into
thought was the list of former Olympicevents that are no longer Olympic events,
but for more I'm sitting, Ican one hundred percent imagine them being amazingly
(04:51):
entertaining to watch. Did you knowthat there used to be Olympic events for
painters and art. They would competethe one thing that art has always shunned,
right, this competition used to competefor Olympic gold. Also a former
(05:12):
Olympic event the tandem bicycle, whichI'm not going to play like that.
One's one of the ones I wouldwatch on TV. You know, I'll
pass that water polo where the realactions taking place like underneath the pool,
you know, and then every timethey cut to it, especially women's water
polo, you feel like a pervertwatching it. I don't. Yeah,
(05:33):
tandem bicycling probably not making the primetimelineup. It'll be on one of Peacock's
many streaming channels, the Tandem BicycleChannel, guys, if you want to
watch it. Tug of War,however, used to be an Olympic event,
and I would one hundred percent watchthat. Tug of war is like
the ultimate lowest common denominator in sports. I mean, I'm sure there's strategy
(06:01):
to that. You put the fatkid in the back, you know.
Look, I'm not saying that tobe judgmental or mean. I'm saying that's
one of the heavier ones. Iwas an anchor. But you understand tug
of war. Everybody understands tug ofwar, and the action is fast paced
and quick. You don't need rightthey started soccer and rugby two days before
(06:26):
the opening ceremonies because it takes solong and so much effort, You don't
need any of that to do tugof war. You just need a stage
or a you know, Olympic sizedtug of war matt ideally with a pit
full of water or hot lava inthe middle. And then what is it?
(06:46):
Team's four or five? You're tellingme if tug of War wasn't on
primetime Olympics for like twenty minutes,you wouldn't be locked in for all twenty
minutes. Be amazing. Hot airballooning used to be an Olympic event.
I'm not sure how do you howdo you win hot air ballooning? Look
at how high I went? Nearlypassed out? Or is it landing?
(07:11):
Is it able? Like no,I don't want to get into the weeds
on hot air ballooning. I don'tcare because the last one, to me
would be the ultimate Olympic sport theyshould bring back, or at least here's
what I'm hoping it was before thatthey would bring back. It is swimming
obstacle races. See, we talkedabout this a couple of days ago when
(07:33):
the ESPN list came out of thetop one hundred athletes of the last twenty
five years. You know, thefirst twenty or one hundred athletes of the
first quarter of the twenty first century, and there were so many Olympians on
there, Usaint Poult, Michael Phelpsand others, and that was their attempt
to like qualify the world. It'snot just American sports guys. Look at
(07:54):
this. We have all these Olympicevents. How many so many tennis players
ended up on this list, andit was stupid. Swimming to me,
is it's great, that's a coolthing that you can do. Does it
require peak athleticism. I'm not talkingabout peak swimming athleticism. I'm just talking
about general overall athleticism, the abilityto do I mean, I would say
(08:18):
soccer, even without the use ofyour hands, is more of and I'm
not trying to be judgmental, butit's more of an athletic competition than swimming.
Is there's contact? Isn't that apart of athletic competition, right,
being able to touch your opponent insome way? I don't know. Maybe
(08:43):
I'm wrong, and that's I don'tknow. If this is going to come
as a shock, very possible I'mwrong, But swimming an obstacle course now
we're talking, right, especially ifthose obstacles are let's say, shark like
I imagine them to be. You'retelling me Primetime coming up later, Tug
(09:07):
of War, but first shark obstaclecourse swimming, Like, come on,
that would be the most insane.Oh, it would be the most watched
sport. It would overtake rugby andsoccer and cricket to become the number one
most watched sport in America. AndI understand at this point it's blood sport.
You're not watching for the swimmer's acumen, you're watching for the shark attack.
(09:31):
Nevertheless, bring it back. It'salso one you don't have to have
a full understanding, Like I don'tcare about the methodology or the swimming technique.
I just care about the not dyingfactor. Don't get bit by that
shark. In fact, kick thatshark in a face. It'd be amazing.
(09:54):
Anyways, none of those are goingto be on TV. But the
opening ceremonies tomorrow night pretty exciting.All right. I want to get into
this briefly. It's an interesting question. Is it better when you apologize to
just say you're sorry and do nothing, or is it better to say you're
sorry with a small gift bearing something, just a little something extra, little
(10:18):
icing on your apology, cupcake.I bring this out because if we're just
speaking worldwide events over the last weekor so that required an apology, you'd
probably just say sorry and don't doanything. Is the way to go.
CrowdStrike who you may remember from lastFriday's worldwide internet crash, the y two
(10:45):
k that should have been when theytried to send through a Windows update and
it just ruined everyone's day, specificallypeople trying to fly. Well. As
an apology, they sent out tendollars Uber eats gift cards in an apology
email, and yeah, I meanit's it didn't go over very well as
(11:11):
you can imagine getting a ten dollarsgift card after your flight gets grounded or
your inability to do anything online ofuse that day. Yeah, like a
ten dollars Uber eats, Like howmany people specifically maybe this is a city
thing, but how many people aroundhere are using Uber eats on average?
What percentage of the population. Here'sa gift card for marbles? Are us?
(11:35):
You know you can go buy onebig one. It's on us,
guys. It's all well and good, but like, I don't play marbles.
You know ten dollars Uber eats giftcard, which, by the way,
didn't work. Uber flagged them alland said this is obviously fraud.
(11:58):
Too many people getting these and clickingthrough on them. I mean, at
least it wasn't an issue with likea gift card update or something. Right,
maybe just say you're sorry, moveon. Finally, I was a
(12:20):
little taken aback when I saw thisheadline, but I did think it made
for an interesting education. Let's callit. After and maybe you saw this,
Joe Biden drops out of the presidentialrace. Vice President Kamala Harris has
like you know, officially been nominated, but has the delegates and raised what
(12:41):
one hundred and eighty one million dollarsin a day. I mean, it
was ridiculous. And then Charlie XCX, the singer who I don't know had
her last hit ten years ago,posted a picture via tweeked on Sunday with
the caption come on is Bratt Andthere it was, after being retweeted thousands
(13:07):
and thousands of time. It wasa full embrace of gen Z slang.
And so the gen z ers,I assume they all talk or not talk.
I assume they all message each othercame together and said, we should
probably define some of these terms sothat when the election rolls around, people
(13:28):
will know to vote for. That'sright, the gen Z crowd submitting their
terminology for your consideration so that youknow how to vote for. Example,
Kamala is bratt. You and Imay think that bratt is a term best
associated with that kid who lives acouple of doors down who you just kind
(13:52):
of just their faces. It's notthat anymore. It's an icon. Bratt
is now an icon, an embraceof authenticity and confidence in oneself. That
is their definition of bread. Otherwords, make the list. Cap not
a hat. A cap is alie. I gotta tell you I know
(14:13):
most of these, and that makesme feel pretty good. Caught in four
K anything, or they've been caughtin four K been found engaging in a
criminal, immoral, or improper actwith evidence to prove it. Cooked.
This is old one. Somebody,oh his goose is cooked. That's like
a nineteen forties slang. Well,it's back, and it means exactly the
(14:33):
same thing as it did before.If they're cooked, they're in a state
of danger or they're doomed. Letthem cook. However, nothing to do
with danger or doom of the impendingsort. Let them cook is to continue
with the hope of succeeding, usuallyafter revealing of one's potential. Somebody like
(14:54):
you know, my son, We'redoing batting practice in the front yard yesterday,
and he starts to get his swingon plane. We're working on not
dipping but keeping straight through the zone. He starts hitting a couple. It's
like, all right, let's keepgoing. Let him cook here. Lock
In, you know that one.It's to be focused or determined. They've
(15:16):
taken that phrase and claimed it astheir own, but you and I both
know lock in. It's been aroundfor a while. Op. It's a
noun an opponent, so it's justan abbreviation but apparently slang. But it's
an opponent one you would dislike.And Riz, I mean this one's been
around for a minute, right,someone that gets the most attention. I
(15:39):
think, well, brat now butused to be riz. I think it
just gets attention because it's got twoz's right. I mean, it's stupid.
It's that sounds that's the real one. It's riz. It's a word
that didn't exist before. It meanscharming, charismatic, they've got exceptional charismatic
or charming skills. They got toriz. So if you needed the definitions
(16:03):
in order to vote you guys,now you have them. I think I
did that without sounding too old ormaking too much fun. Right. It's
fun enough as is, just likethis show, minimal effort required, so
so much fun. Sorry, Ididn't get through that without laughing. It's
okay. This show's fine, andI'm glad you were here for it today.
(16:26):
If you're here this afternoon for thesmaller version of this that we will
chop up the topics we just discussedand make you know bite size for the
afternoon shift. Great. If not, it's fine, also fine, glad
you were here for this. Now, we'll talk to you tomorrow. Burn Tyne
