4
00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:19.039

7
00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:43.520
<v Speaker 2>That was a little retraumatizing right there.

8
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:47.600
<v Speaker 1>Something really really hard Dan. This is Brady one more

9
00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:50.520
<v Speaker 1>time out. I am the Brady part.

10
00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:51.320
<v Speaker 2>That is me.

11
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Award winning radio personality, just kidding. I never want to one.

12
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:56.799
<v Speaker 1>You got me well one day, but I've never been

13
00:00:56.920 --> 00:00:59.039
<v Speaker 1>up for one, so I've never lost one. Right, You're

14
00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:03.880
<v Speaker 1>on in Radio Awards with me as always the kickball King.

15
00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:06.920
<v Speaker 2>What's up opening night tomorrow? It's gonna be like twenty

16
00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:07.599
<v Speaker 2>five degrees.

17
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:10.599
<v Speaker 1>This is a small short off season, yeah for kickball?

18
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:13.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeh yeah, yeah. It's almost a year round sport and

19
00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:15.079
<v Speaker 2>it really is because we play indoor in the winter.

20
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:16.799
<v Speaker 1>And a guy who if you ever want to have

21
00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:18.840
<v Speaker 1>breakfast with him, you have to drag him out of

22
00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:21.400
<v Speaker 1>bed at the very early hour of nine am.

23
00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:23.920
<v Speaker 2>And yet I beat you there, I beat half the

24
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:24.680
<v Speaker 2>group there.

25
00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:27.959
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, believe and went early. Who's always late for everything?

26
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:31.120
<v Speaker 2>Good? Good little little Friday and breakfast.

27
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:33.879

28
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:36.719
<v Speaker 1>made it there before everybody, even though I'm guessing Dan

29
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:37.680
<v Speaker 1>went to bed.

30
00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:40.719
<v Speaker 2>The all of us probably got up the latest too.

31
00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:43.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh man, it is diligent Dan Ginsburg.

32
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:44.640
<v Speaker 2>Okay, it's a new one.

33
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:49.359
<v Speaker 1>It's a new one. Today we're talking about US Olympic moments,

00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:51.959
<v Speaker 1>iconic US Olympic moments. Okay, wait, hold on our yours,

39
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:12.039
<v Speaker 2>This is when we won, or when we played our

40
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:15.280
<v Speaker 2>five hundredth game. One of my lovely teammates and dear friends,

41
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:20.479
<v Speaker 2>Brittany got this metal made from Yeah, yeah see it. Okay,

42
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:20.919
<v Speaker 2>there we go.

43
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:22.280
<v Speaker 1>I love is that your logo?

44
00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:26.879
<v Speaker 2>That was our logo? I don't know if you heard.

45
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:31.800
<v Speaker 2>Kiki or Nicki Minaj has become a little too problematic

46
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:35.120
<v Speaker 2>for us, so we have actually changed the name, evolved

47
00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:37.680
<v Speaker 2>our team name. We're now just Kickie and we now

48
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:40.199
<v Speaker 2>have a logo that is just KICKI with a kickball.

49
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:43.800
<v Speaker 2>And we were getting too many questions and comments and

50
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:48.400
<v Speaker 2>not really feeling great about the name. I mean a

51
00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:52.159
<v Speaker 2>lot of us didn't feel super great about having the

52
00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:53.319
<v Speaker 2>Like I know when you.

53
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:55.879
<v Speaker 1>Started this ten years ago, this would be an issue,

54
00:02:56.039 --> 00:02:57.800
<v Speaker 1>right yeah.

55
00:02:57.840 --> 00:02:59.639
<v Speaker 2>Anyway, now it's just Kiki, but at the time, that

56
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:01.560
<v Speaker 2>was our logo and that was our team name.

57
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:04.719
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate. I appreciate the extra effort and bringing props

58
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:06.240
<v Speaker 1>into the podcast.

59
00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:07.479
<v Speaker 2>Like you you know.

60
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:09.879
<v Speaker 1>If you spend as much time like preparing like that

61
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:11.280
<v Speaker 1>as we should setting.

62
00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:13.719
<v Speaker 2>Up the cameras right right, that was an episode in

63
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:16.800
<v Speaker 2>it in itself. The camera says time us next week. Yeah,

64
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:17.199
<v Speaker 2>we gotta be.

65
00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:18.680
<v Speaker 1>We gotta be a way I think we can beat

66
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:22.199
<v Speaker 1>I think so. Uh anyway, Yeah, we're talking Olympic, iconic

67
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:23.879
<v Speaker 1>Olympic I did you were doing us right?

68
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:25.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

69
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:26.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

70
00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:27.319
<v Speaker 2>Mine? Are you u? S?

71
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:30.840
<v Speaker 1>So we're just going to give three iconic US Olympic

72
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:34.800
<v Speaker 1>moments from the nineties and two thousands, the the the

73
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:36.479
<v Speaker 1>the outs, the oats how do you call it?

74
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:39.719
<v Speaker 2>Not the oats?

75
00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:40.360
<v Speaker 1>Now?

76
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:42.479
<v Speaker 2>How what is your relationship with the Olympics.

77
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:46.400
<v Speaker 1>It's hit or miss for me. Really, it depends. It

78
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:49.639
<v Speaker 1>depends on like the build right and the excitement and

79
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:52.159
<v Speaker 1>and obviously the US athletes that are that are like

80
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:55.400
<v Speaker 1>the Michael Phillips like, of course somebody watching you there

81
00:03:55.400 --> 00:03:57.039
<v Speaker 1>you go. Uh, but you know what I mean, It

82
00:03:57.080 --> 00:03:59.560
<v Speaker 1>just depends. I think, Uh, there's been some years where

83
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:01.560
<v Speaker 1>maybe I watched like a little bit, and then there's

84
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:04.439
<v Speaker 1>like this past Winter Olympics, I was like obsessed yeap

85
00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:07.520
<v Speaker 1>like waifey and I watched like every night. So I

86
00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:10.719
<v Speaker 1>guess it depends. I'm guessing you seem like the type

87
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:12.800
<v Speaker 1>of guy that's always been front center.

88
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:15.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm pretty up for her. Yeah, to the point that,

89
00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:17.720
<v Speaker 2>like I feel like in the lead up to every Olympics,

90
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:19.319
<v Speaker 2>well really every two years. You know, when we were

91
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:22.639
<v Speaker 2>kids back in the nineties, it was every four and

92
00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:24.439
<v Speaker 2>winter and summer were the same year, and then they

93
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:27.800
<v Speaker 2>split it off, so now it's every two. I used like,

94
00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:30.680
<v Speaker 2>I used to get excited and anxious because I'd be like,

95
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:32.079
<v Speaker 2>I have all the like, how am I going to

96
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:33.920
<v Speaker 2>find the time to watch all of this? And then

97
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:36.120
<v Speaker 2>once it actually starts, I'm like, oh, yeah, I actually

98
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:38.959
<v Speaker 2>really love this, But no, I've been die hard pretty

99
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:42.439
<v Speaker 2>much like since teenagey around the time I got into SNL,

100
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:45.720
<v Speaker 2>I got equally into the Olympics and never stopped with either.

101
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:47.439
<v Speaker 1>You know what I used to love though back in

102
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:50.120
<v Speaker 1>the nineties watching the Olympics. It was different because everything

103
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:52.959
<v Speaker 1>was preempted right right, so you didn't you didn't watch it.

104
00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:55.959
<v Speaker 1>You'd have to wake up at three am to watch something.

105
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:59.959
<v Speaker 2>And there were no spoilers. To I am an insufferable

106
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:03.360
<v Speaker 2>human being to be around for two weeks every two

107
00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:07.439
<v Speaker 2>years because I turn off all my like new, breaking new,

108
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:09.600
<v Speaker 2>every kind of alert. I tell all my friends, like,

109
00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:12.399
<v Speaker 2>check with me before you bring up any Olympic stuff

110
00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:15.199
<v Speaker 2>because I'm chronically like two three days behind. But I

111
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:19.759
<v Speaker 2>hate spoilers, like it's so much more powerful to see,

112
00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:23.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, whatever happened, success or failure when you don't

113
00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:28.279
<v Speaker 2>already know what's going to happen. But we didn't have that. Yeah,

114
00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:30.600
<v Speaker 2>it was all probably you know, everything, all the big

115
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:33.600
<v Speaker 2>stuff was saved for prime time, whether it was live

116
00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:36.199
<v Speaker 2>because it was in our time near our time zone,

117
00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:39.639
<v Speaker 2>or recorded because it was in Japan or Europe. You

118
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:42.120
<v Speaker 2>were seeing it for the first time along with all

119
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:44.759
<v Speaker 2>of your friends and family when it was airing on NBC.

120
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:50.800
<v Speaker 1>But there is something cool about waking up at the headphones,

121
00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:54.160
<v Speaker 1>something cool about waking up at like five am and

122
00:05:54.600 --> 00:06:01.120
<v Speaker 1>just catching like the biathlon or something so iconic moments.

123
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:03.759
<v Speaker 1>These can be on the court or off the court,

124
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:05.800
<v Speaker 1>on the field, are off the field, right, Okay, they

125
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:06.519
<v Speaker 1>doesn't have to be.

126
00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:08.399
<v Speaker 2>Just right.

127
00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:11.160
<v Speaker 1>My first one we're going with is I'm gonna go.

128
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:15.800
<v Speaker 1>The most famous basketball team ever assembled is the nineteen

129
00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:17.360
<v Speaker 1>ninety two Dreaming Team that was.

130
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:19.920
<v Speaker 2>On my list. First one that was third on my list.

131
00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:24.319
<v Speaker 1>Barcelona, I believe, yes, this team right, yeah, oh yeah,

132
00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:27.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm ready. Larry Bird, Charles Barkley, Scottie Pippen, Karl Alone,

133
00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Chris Mullen, Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, John Stockton, Clyde Drexler,

134
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:34.600
<v Speaker 1>Patrick Ewing, David Robinson, college representative, Christian Lightner.

135
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:38.040
<v Speaker 2>There you go. I mean, whose shot was just outdone?

136
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:38.680
<v Speaker 2>Last week?

137
00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:39.360
<v Speaker 1>It was?

138
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:44.040
<v Speaker 2>But we digressed, no, just And that was the first, uh,

139
00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:47.519
<v Speaker 2>the first US team after the Foebe rule change in

140
00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:52.360
<v Speaker 2>eighty nine that was allowed to have professional NBA players, right.

141
00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:54.439
<v Speaker 1>So they were called the dream Team for rightfully. So,

142
00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:56.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean that's the biggest. I mean they've done this

143
00:06:56.879 --> 00:07:00.839
<v Speaker 1>every year since. But for whatever reason, that group of

144
00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:04.399
<v Speaker 1>superstars were like just mega mega stars.

145
00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:06.480
<v Speaker 2>I think the combination of it being the first one

146
00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:08.600
<v Speaker 2>and also just where basketball was in that era. I

147
00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:11.120
<v Speaker 2>mean we did a whole We talked plenty about Michael

148
00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:14.199
<v Speaker 2>Jordan on this show, but yeah, I mean just the

149
00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:15.279
<v Speaker 2>talent around.

150
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:18.600
<v Speaker 1>Him and Chuck Daily coaching, Chuck Daily coaching, and now

151
00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:21.160
<v Speaker 1>that I think about it, what probably made this team

152
00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:24.079
<v Speaker 1>so successful and so huge and larger than life is

153
00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:27.879
<v Speaker 1>the NBA wasn't really international at that point, right right,

154
00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:31.959
<v Speaker 1>So like the best players were from the US. Now

155
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:34.759
<v Speaker 1>the US has some competition yep, around the world. So

156
00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:36.439
<v Speaker 1>that made it, uh do you know? I mean they

157
00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:38.079
<v Speaker 1>didn't they beat everyone. I don't think they had a

158
00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:40.120
<v Speaker 1>close game. I think they won every game by like

159
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:43.240
<v Speaker 1>the third closest game was a win by thirty two

160
00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:44.319
<v Speaker 1>points against Croatia.

161
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:46.319
<v Speaker 2>That was the closest game. They were like Michigan and

162
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:50.040
<v Speaker 2>the NCAAM this year. We'll see if that lasts tonight.

163
00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:52.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they went undefeated. Who do you think was the

164
00:07:52.759 --> 00:07:53.920
<v Speaker 1>leading scorer of that team?

165
00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:56.839
<v Speaker 2>Well, Jordan seems like the obvious answer. So if it's not.

166
00:07:57.079 --> 00:08:02.600
<v Speaker 1>Him, this surprise me because he's known for scoring but

167
00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:07.639
<v Speaker 1>not known for Karl Malone. No Charles Barkley, Oh wow, Okay,

168
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:08.360
<v Speaker 1>I would.

169
00:08:08.199 --> 00:08:10.199
<v Speaker 2>Have been like, not one of my next guests. I

170
00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:14.199
<v Speaker 2>love me some Chuck good SNL Chuck impersonation.

171
00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:18.199
<v Speaker 1>I watched NBA live in the pregame show just because

172
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:19.000
<v Speaker 1>of Charles Barkley.

173
00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:21.439
<v Speaker 2>Can I Can I say something? Can I say something?

174
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:26.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm just no, no, no, no. That's a reference of the SNL. Okay.

175
00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:28.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So that's my first one. I'm going to the

176
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:32.600
<v Speaker 1>Dream Team nineteen ninety two. That's a great chronic US

177
00:08:32.679 --> 00:08:33.519
<v Speaker 1>Olympic moments.

178
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:40.240
<v Speaker 2>That is a great pick. My first pick is it's

179
00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:44.080
<v Speaker 2>gotta be the clip that you heard in the intro.

180
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:48.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh We're going there, Yeah, We're going there. Nancy Kerrigan

181
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:51.600
<v Speaker 2>skate remains to this day. I think one of the

182
00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:56.000
<v Speaker 2>five or ten most watched moments in the history of television,

183
00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:58.120
<v Speaker 2>if you take away the Super Bowl, I think it's

184
00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:00.639
<v Speaker 2>number it might be number two, behind the Mash fin No,

185
00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:02.519
<v Speaker 2>I think it's like a bunch of Super Bowls, Mash

186
00:09:02.559 --> 00:09:07.879
<v Speaker 2>Finale and the night of the the Women's individual free

187
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:11.679
<v Speaker 2>skate in the ninety four Oh my god, I didn't

188
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:13.759
<v Speaker 2>know that big well, because the Olympics are already big,

189
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:16.080
<v Speaker 2>and again, as you said earlier, back then, when we

190
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:17.840
<v Speaker 2>didn't have the number of channels to choose from, and

191
00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:20.480
<v Speaker 2>there weren't, you couldn't be spoiled. You know, everybody was

192
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:22.960
<v Speaker 2>watching for the results. And it was such I mean

193
00:09:23.399 --> 00:09:26.000
<v Speaker 2>it was two stories in one because you had Tanya Harding,

194
00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:32.360
<v Speaker 2>uh basically hiring someone, are being involved in someone who

195
00:09:32.440 --> 00:09:35.639
<v Speaker 2>attacked tried to take out CA again. You had all

196
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:38.320
<v Speaker 2>these First off, there's all the legal questions of what's

197
00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:41.080
<v Speaker 2>going to happen to Tanya Harding and the person who

198
00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:44.159
<v Speaker 2>committed this attack. Then is Nancy Kerrigan still going to

199
00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:47.080
<v Speaker 2>be able to skate? She was this like us media darling,

200
00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:52.159
<v Speaker 2>you know, potential gold medalist. She ends up, she's injured,

201
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:54.840
<v Speaker 2>but she ends up, you know, practicing. I think we

202
00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:57.240
<v Speaker 2>didn't know until like within a couple of days that

203
00:09:57.320 --> 00:10:01.039
<v Speaker 2>she was even going to be able to skate. And

204
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:06.720
<v Speaker 2>she gives this flawless, beautiful, emotional skate. Everyone watching is

205
00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:09.519
<v Speaker 2>in tears. And then you have a whole separate story

206
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:12.000
<v Speaker 2>that remained a story for a long time after that,

207
00:10:12.039 --> 00:10:15.320
<v Speaker 2>which was the judging, because she did not win the gold,

208
00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:19.120
<v Speaker 2>so we won the silver by the slimmest margin possible

209
00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:22.480
<v Speaker 2>by It was one tenth of a point with one judge.

210
00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:25.519
<v Speaker 2>And back then you know, now there's all these different

211
00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:28.840
<v Speaker 2>numbers for different elements in the back then, it was

212
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:32.000
<v Speaker 2>a judge giving a number, I think, giving two numbers,

213
00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:34.120
<v Speaker 2>giving like an artistic number and a technical number. But

214
00:10:34.159 --> 00:10:36.720
<v Speaker 2>it was just like their judgment. There weren't any specific

215
00:10:36.759 --> 00:10:40.960
<v Speaker 2>criteria and they averaged the judge's score and there were

216
00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:44.279
<v Speaker 2>allegations of bias against I want to say the Russian

217
00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:47.399
<v Speaker 2>judge because it was Aksana Bayul who won the gold

218
00:10:47.879 --> 00:10:51.360
<v Speaker 2>by the tiniest margin possible. And then there was huge

219
00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:55.720
<v Speaker 2>controversy and a whole reform in how figure skating was judged.

220
00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:58.919
<v Speaker 2>It didn't eliminate the controversy. We had controversy this year,

221
00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:02.039
<v Speaker 2>but that so, I mean, there were basically three stories

222
00:11:02.039 --> 00:11:04.120
<v Speaker 2>in one. There was the attack leading up to it,

223
00:11:04.519 --> 00:11:07.039
<v Speaker 2>there was the skate itself, and then there was the

224
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:11.159
<v Speaker 2>judging controversy and people were outraged. People wanted investigations on

225
00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:14.799
<v Speaker 2>the judging. People wanted Carrigan to retroactively be awarded the

226
00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:19.600
<v Speaker 2>Gold there was just it captivated. I mean, it was

227
00:11:19.720 --> 00:11:22.440
<v Speaker 2>up there with O. J. Simpson as like the most

228
00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:28.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah talked about captivating, memorable news story, take it takes

229
00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:32.240
<v Speaker 2>sports away, just news story in general. Of that decade,

230
00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:35.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean of our childhood was.

231
00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:36.720
<v Speaker 1>Was Tanya Harding Did she go on to do porn?

232
00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:40.159
<v Speaker 2>Took a direction?

233
00:11:40.840 --> 00:11:45.120
<v Speaker 1>She didn't? She No, she didn't.

234
00:11:45.159 --> 00:11:49.159
<v Speaker 2>She fight, She fought someone, she boxed someone a little

235
00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:55.559
<v Speaker 2>different than porn. She also did. So there was the movie.

236
00:11:55.759 --> 00:11:58.840
<v Speaker 2>There was the movie made about that situation for TV.

237
00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:01.720
<v Speaker 2>But then there was the ESPN thirty on thirty, which,

238
00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:04.080
<v Speaker 2>if you are listening and you're curious to learn more

239
00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:06.039
<v Speaker 2>about this story, I thought the thirty on thirty was

240
00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:08.559
<v Speaker 2>better than the movie because you watch the thirty on

241
00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:12.399
<v Speaker 2>thirty and they interview Tanya for the ESPN special, right,

242
00:12:12.679 --> 00:12:16.000
<v Speaker 2>and you're kind of like, I found myself very empathetic

243
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:19.639
<v Speaker 2>to her through like the first half of the documentary

244
00:12:19.679 --> 00:12:23.360
<v Speaker 2>because she's telling her story of not being involved in

245
00:12:23.399 --> 00:12:25.639
<v Speaker 2>this and how her heart was breaking for Nancy. And

246
00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:28.200
<v Speaker 2>then they're presenting, you know, the documentary like they do,

247
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:32.639
<v Speaker 2>they're presenting facts, and then like without outright calling her out,

248
00:12:32.879 --> 00:12:36.240
<v Speaker 2>they're just presenting facts, but like you start to realize

249
00:12:36.279 --> 00:12:39.519
<v Speaker 2>that the actual facts of the case and the investigation

250
00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:42.720
<v Speaker 2>do not line up with what Tanya's saying. But it

251
00:12:42.799 --> 00:12:45.559
<v Speaker 2>takes you have to get pretty deep into the documentary

252
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:48.559
<v Speaker 2>before you realize, Wow, holy crap, this girl's just like

253
00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:53.159
<v Speaker 2>a very skilled, very deep in her lies as wild

254
00:12:53.320 --> 00:12:57.480
<v Speaker 2>and this was what I'm what fifteen twenty years later

255
00:12:57.600 --> 00:12:57.919
<v Speaker 2>that this.

256
00:12:57.960 --> 00:13:02.080
<v Speaker 1>Was all films crazy. This this brings up a future

257
00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:05.240
<v Speaker 1>topic idea because that was such an absurd story that

258
00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:08.120
<v Speaker 1>was literally that was built for a movie. Right, Uh,

259
00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:11.559
<v Speaker 1>we should do a lorraina Bobbitt, just a whole lot.

260
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:14.720
<v Speaker 2>But can we talk for twenty minutes about that without Yeah.

261
00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:17.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, horrified, we're not We're not. Well, we'll be horrified,

262
00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:19.799
<v Speaker 1>but we're not on like the radio. We could say

263
00:13:19.799 --> 00:13:20.320
<v Speaker 1>whatever we want.

264
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:24.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, that's that might be the mountain mount Rushmore of

265
00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:28.720
<v Speaker 2>just like bizarre nineties news story. It's got to be

266
00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:31.919
<v Speaker 2>up there, up there. Oh boy, that Rushmore.

267
00:13:32.039 --> 00:13:35.679
<v Speaker 1>Never mind. Oh wait, one more thing about the Nancy

268
00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:38.080
<v Speaker 1>Kerrigan thing. I was because I was doing research about

269
00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:40.200
<v Speaker 1>her too. Yeah, did you know that she was caught

270
00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:43.879
<v Speaker 1>on microphone after the Olympics They you know, she went

271
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:45.960
<v Speaker 1>to Disney World to do like a whole parade thing.

272
00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:49.279
<v Speaker 1>She was caught on the microphone talking to Mickey saying, quote,

273
00:13:49.559 --> 00:13:52.080
<v Speaker 1>this is so dumb. I hate it. This is the

274
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:53.759
<v Speaker 1>most corny thing I've ever done.

275
00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:56.879
<v Speaker 2>This ring is like a very vague bell. That's great.

276
00:13:57.159 --> 00:13:59.759
<v Speaker 1>So man, just all over that is all place. There's

277
00:13:59.799 --> 00:14:01.759
<v Speaker 1>no good guy or bad guy, just kind of all

278
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:03.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean very much.

279
00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:05.399
<v Speaker 2>In the moment there was a good guy and a

280
00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:07.600
<v Speaker 2>bad guy. But you're right, you know, it's a reminder

281
00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:09.360
<v Speaker 2>that we're all human and we all have flazza. The

282
00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:11.960
<v Speaker 2>most of us aren't hiring hit my number two, take

283
00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:13.399
<v Speaker 2>out our our rival.

284
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:16.000
<v Speaker 1>My number two is gonna be a guy who had

285
00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:18.360
<v Speaker 1>the best nickname ever, the Flying Tomato.

286
00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:21.039
<v Speaker 2>Okay, going Sean White, Yeah yeah.

287
00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:25.720
<v Speaker 1>Five time Olympian YEP, three time gold medalist, one gold

288
00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:27.759
<v Speaker 1>in the half pipe, which is just a fun, fun

289
00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:33.440
<v Speaker 1>little thing to say. Yes, ten awards. I didn't that's incredible.

290
00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:36.919
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know his story either. Probably, I would say

291
00:14:36.919 --> 00:14:38.720
<v Speaker 1>you probably the Michael Jordan of snowboarders.

292
00:14:38.799 --> 00:14:41.519
<v Speaker 2>Oh, absolutely right, one was. I mean I might even

293
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:43.720
<v Speaker 2>take it further and say the Michael Jordan of the

294
00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:47.480
<v Speaker 2>Winter Olympics or the X Games period, and I didn't.

295
00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:49.720
<v Speaker 2>He got gold, gold, and then I think he missed

296
00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:52.120
<v Speaker 2>the podium or missed gold, and then came back and

297
00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:54.399
<v Speaker 2>got the third gold. I believe that what it was.

298
00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:55.080
<v Speaker 2>I think so.

299
00:14:56.720 --> 00:14:58.279
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know his story. He had two open heart

300
00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:03.960
<v Speaker 1>surgeries as an infant, and since that, that story or

301
00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:07.559
<v Speaker 1>that upbringing inspired him so much. He's he's granted seventeen

302
00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:10.639
<v Speaker 1>makeup wishes for kids, which is wow, that's awesome. A

303
00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:12.559
<v Speaker 1>long he got a long, long way to catch up

304
00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:13.840
<v Speaker 1>to John Cena, who's the leader.

305
00:15:14.679 --> 00:15:16.600
<v Speaker 2>Didn't know there was a leaderboard. That seems like a

306
00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:18.480
<v Speaker 2>weird thing to have a leaderboard for it, but.

307
00:15:18.360 --> 00:15:20.720
<v Speaker 1>Well we know, we know all about it. We're reminded

308
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:22.799
<v Speaker 1>about it. But no, he was everywhere. I mean endorse

309
00:15:23.519 --> 00:15:27.159
<v Speaker 1>video games. Yep, I mean he really because prior to

310
00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:30.080
<v Speaker 1>I guess snowboarding was big, but it wasn't that it

311
00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:33.159
<v Speaker 1>wasn't as big as mainstream. For sure, you go skiing,

312
00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:35.320
<v Speaker 1>that's what you do. Now it's a you go snowboarding

313
00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:36.440
<v Speaker 1>and some people go skiing too.

314
00:15:36.440 --> 00:15:37.240
<v Speaker 2>You you do both.

315
00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:39.000
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, I think he was. He was kind of

316
00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:43.039
<v Speaker 1>innovator in that regards and just the flying tomato, big

317
00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:45.000
<v Speaker 1>red hair. Yeah, a big personality.

318
00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:47.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you could picture his reactions when he came off

319
00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:51.759
<v Speaker 2>a good run and going nuts. Awesome dude too. I

320
00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:54.519
<v Speaker 2>mean he's still involved in the NBC Olympic coverage. He

321
00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:58.120
<v Speaker 2>saw there this year, getting in, you know, visiting Olympics

322
00:15:58.120 --> 00:15:58.879
<v Speaker 2>a mentor.

323
00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:00.759
<v Speaker 1>Too, to a lot of to a lot of snowboarders

324
00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:03.279
<v Speaker 1>like around the world. Yeah, so I thought I put

325
00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:05.440
<v Speaker 1>Sean White on my list as number two. Mount Rushmore

326
00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:06.399
<v Speaker 1>of tomatoes.

327
00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:10.279
<v Speaker 2>Mount Rushmore Tomatoes, I go go vine ripened.

328
00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:16.080
<v Speaker 1>Cherry Cherry's my George Washington Cherry's Bloody Mary Mix.

329
00:16:16.639 --> 00:16:21.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's out. Wow, it's a great unheralded pick over there,

330
00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:27.639
<v Speaker 2>Fried Green, if I've ever had them, maybe, Yeah.

331
00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:30.639
<v Speaker 1>In your travels. I'm sure I'm covering all the basis today.

332
00:16:31.200 --> 00:16:34.600
<v Speaker 2>Number This is a clear next pick for me. Uh.

333
00:16:35.039 --> 00:16:38.120
<v Speaker 2>Another one that's just singed into my brain from Atlanta

334
00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:43.279
<v Speaker 2>nineteen ninety six, Carrie Strug's Vault Iconic. Yeah. Yeah, this

335
00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:48.000
<v Speaker 2>was the original before they they came back and became

336
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:52.000
<v Speaker 2>world dominating again with Simone Biles and crew. The original

337
00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:58.279
<v Speaker 2>world dominating US team Gymnasts. They were had a huge lead.

338
00:16:58.320 --> 00:17:03.200
<v Speaker 2>They were in first place. One vault left. Carrie Strug

339
00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:08.240
<v Speaker 2>just needs to land a vault. She messes up her ankle,

340
00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:11.039
<v Speaker 2>she's limping around. I don't remember. I'm not going to

341
00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:13.799
<v Speaker 2>claim to remember all the gymnastics rules from ninety six.

342
00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:16.079
<v Speaker 2>But there was no option. I feel like if you

343
00:17:16.119 --> 00:17:19.119
<v Speaker 2>did know no offense, there was no option for like

344
00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:21.519
<v Speaker 2>an alternate or anything. It was. They had a huge lead,

345
00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:24.079
<v Speaker 2>so the score didn't really matter as long as it

346
00:17:24.119 --> 00:17:27.880
<v Speaker 2>was clean and landed. And here is this poor girl,

347
00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:30.680
<v Speaker 2>but she couldn't have been much older than fifteen sixteen,

348
00:17:31.240 --> 00:17:34.920
<v Speaker 2>limping around and knowing that she needs to just land

349
00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:37.319
<v Speaker 2>a vault on a busted ankle and the US is

350
00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:40.480
<v Speaker 2>going to win gold. And she does it. And then

351
00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:43.519
<v Speaker 2>I think the most iconic moment probably isn't her landing

352
00:17:43.559 --> 00:17:47.839
<v Speaker 2>of the vault vault. It's Bella. Her coach comes, picks

353
00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:50.759
<v Speaker 2>her up, carries her off, And mind you, this is

354
00:17:50.799 --> 00:17:54.480
<v Speaker 2>the US team in Atlanta, so the crowd is just

355
00:17:54.680 --> 00:17:57.519
<v Speaker 2>going absolutely insane. I mean, if you want to talk

356
00:17:57.599 --> 00:18:01.680
<v Speaker 2>like patriotic moments that you know the country in the nineties,

357
00:18:01.720 --> 00:18:03.559
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's got to be right there at the top.

358
00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:09.480
<v Speaker 2>I think It's also an interesting discussion of I don't

359
00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:12.119
<v Speaker 2>know would that happen that way today.

360
00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:14.240
<v Speaker 1>As far as they allow them to play.

361
00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:18.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think there would be a lot of pressure

362
00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:23.519
<v Speaker 2>to not allow an injured athlete to although then again

363
00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:26.160
<v Speaker 2>and again look at lindsay so.

364
00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:28.400
<v Speaker 1>I think when you, I think it's so hard to

365
00:18:28.480 --> 00:18:31.039
<v Speaker 1>make it to that moment, it's like, I don't care,

366
00:18:31.160 --> 00:18:32.599
<v Speaker 1>Like with a broken leg, I'm.

367
00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:35.599
<v Speaker 2>Going to try because that's it. It's once every four years.

368
00:18:35.640 --> 00:18:37.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean for someone like Vaughn, it was that was it.

369
00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:39.440
<v Speaker 2>You know, she knew that was going to be her

370
00:18:39.519 --> 00:18:42.240
<v Speaker 2>last Olympics and she trained four years for it. I

371
00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:44.759
<v Speaker 2>don't I was awful watching that. But how you can't

372
00:18:44.759 --> 00:18:48.039
<v Speaker 2>How you can you blame her for trying? Uh? Well

373
00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:50.519
<v Speaker 2>that was ninety six. That was ninety six Atlanta.

374
00:18:50.640 --> 00:18:53.200
<v Speaker 1>That brings me to my next one guy one same

375
00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:57.279
<v Speaker 1>same Olympics, YEP amateur wrestling gold medalist Kurt Angle.

376
00:18:57.559 --> 00:19:00.039
<v Speaker 2>Oh interesting angles.

377
00:18:59.400 --> 00:19:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Story obviously went on, not obviously but for me became

378
00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:06.400
<v Speaker 1>a w W Hall of Famer. But during his amateur

379
00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:12.680
<v Speaker 1>wrestling days he's training, he suffers a neck injury let's see,

380
00:19:12.680 --> 00:19:16.200
<v Speaker 1>fracturing two of his cervical vertebrae crdiating two discs and

381
00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:21.400
<v Speaker 1>pulling four muscles five months before the Olympics. Figures out

382
00:19:21.440 --> 00:19:24.640
<v Speaker 1>a way, figures out five. So he goes and he wrestles.

383
00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:26.519
<v Speaker 1>He makes it to the finals, and everybody's like, this

384
00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:28.559
<v Speaker 1>mother effort is going to win a gold medal with

385
00:19:28.599 --> 00:19:31.880
<v Speaker 1>a broken neck and he did kurd angle.

386
00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:36.799
<v Speaker 2>That's insane. I forgot all about that kurd.

387
00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:39.440
<v Speaker 1>Angle and inducted into the International Sports Hall of Fame.

388
00:19:39.599 --> 00:19:43.519
<v Speaker 1>Just an all time, amazing, all around athlete and probably

389
00:19:43.559 --> 00:19:46.519
<v Speaker 1>the goat when it comes to amateur wrestling, just because

390
00:19:46.519 --> 00:19:49.039
<v Speaker 1>of that that moment, especially especially for America.

391
00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:51.720
<v Speaker 2>Was he known prior to the Olympics in the wrestling

392
00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:52.720
<v Speaker 2>world or was that.

393
00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:55.599
<v Speaker 1>Where he took off after the after this whole ordeal.

394
00:19:55.759 --> 00:19:58.079
<v Speaker 1>I heard an interview. I heard him in an interview once.

395
00:19:58.559 --> 00:20:01.119
<v Speaker 1>There was so much dry not drama, there's so much

396
00:20:01.160 --> 00:20:03.039
<v Speaker 1>going on that he wanted nothing to do with amateur

397
00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:05.839
<v Speaker 1>wrestling anymore. So we moved to professional wrestling.

398
00:20:05.480 --> 00:20:09.160
<v Speaker 3>Which is which is nothing like it a little different,

399
00:20:09.240 --> 00:20:12.880
<v Speaker 3>but it's also the exact opposite of amateur wrestling, because

400
00:20:12.920 --> 00:20:16.440
<v Speaker 3>in amateur wrestling you're taught to, you know, pick up

401
00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:18.200
<v Speaker 3>your opponent and flip them.

402
00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:22.480
<v Speaker 1>In professional wrestling, you're taught to take take that bump, right,

403
00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:24.920
<v Speaker 1>and you're trying everything not to do it in amateur wrestling,

404
00:20:24.960 --> 00:20:27.160
<v Speaker 1>but you have to let your opponent in professional wrestling

405
00:20:27.200 --> 00:20:29.880
<v Speaker 1>do it. Yeah, So we literally had to learn the

406
00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:31.960
<v Speaker 1>exact opposite, and he picked it up quicker than anybody

407
00:20:31.960 --> 00:20:33.759
<v Speaker 1>else in history. Like I say, he became a Hall

408
00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:37.039
<v Speaker 1>of Famer. But side story, same Olympics. We got to

409
00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:39.079
<v Speaker 1>mention in ninety six. Is that is that one of

410
00:20:39.119 --> 00:20:40.119
<v Speaker 1>your honorable mentions?

411
00:20:40.920 --> 00:20:43.160
<v Speaker 2>A little bit wonder what if my honorable mentions comes

412
00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:48.319
<v Speaker 2>from ninety six? Michael Johnson, I've got from ninety six his.

413
00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:51.440
<v Speaker 1>Golden Well, there you go. I I was going to

414
00:20:51.519 --> 00:20:52.119
<v Speaker 1>say the bombing.

415
00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:55.200
<v Speaker 2>Oh right, yeah, I forgot. We're going right right.

416
00:20:55.079 --> 00:20:57.000
<v Speaker 1>International News in Atlanta.

417
00:20:57.079 --> 00:20:59.240
<v Speaker 2>Right, that was right before the lead up, right. I

418
00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:02.279
<v Speaker 2>believe it's a or maybe maybe the first couple of days,

419
00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:06.559
<v Speaker 2>early early on. Yeah, I remember watching that reference all

420
00:21:06.599 --> 00:21:06.839
<v Speaker 2>the time.

421
00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:08.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I remember watching live They're trying to figure out

422
00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:11.640
<v Speaker 1>who there you see the footage. Now it's like the

423
00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:14.160
<v Speaker 1>mid to late nineties, so now we're like really like

424
00:21:14.319 --> 00:21:17.960
<v Speaker 1>we're using technology more to figure this stuff out, and

425
00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:21.000
<v Speaker 1>uh that changed. That changed the way that Olympic security

426
00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:25.200
<v Speaker 1>would be forever. So that happened, Yes, yes, that's right. Yeah,

427
00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:28.079
<v Speaker 1>massive impact on how the Olympics were handled. That's a

428
00:21:28.079 --> 00:21:30.759
<v Speaker 1>great point. And last, but not least, Yeah, I mean,

429
00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:33.279
<v Speaker 1>are you gonna do it? I have, it's my last one.

430
00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:36.519
<v Speaker 2>You cannot, we cannot do an all time nineties two

431
00:21:36.599 --> 00:21:41.079
<v Speaker 2>thousands Olympic episode and not mentioned Michael Phelps eight gold

432
00:21:41.119 --> 00:21:45.359
<v Speaker 2>medals in a single Olympics. Of those eight gold medals,

433
00:21:45.359 --> 00:21:48.519
<v Speaker 2>seven of them were world records. One of them was

434
00:21:48.559 --> 00:21:52.799
<v Speaker 2>decided by point oh one seconds, a hundredth of a second.

435
00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:55.680
<v Speaker 2>I want to say it was maybe the butterfly. I

436
00:21:55.880 --> 00:21:58.119
<v Speaker 2>could be wrong about that, but I can vividly remember,

437
00:21:58.519 --> 00:22:00.079
<v Speaker 2>you know, you see them come to the line and

438
00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:02.799
<v Speaker 2>it looks simultaneous and you're waiting for the scores to

439
00:22:02.799 --> 00:22:06.720
<v Speaker 2>pop up. I mean, most decorated Olympian in history. Twenty

440
00:22:06.759 --> 00:22:10.759
<v Speaker 2>eight total medals that he won, twenty three gold medals.

441
00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:14.960
<v Speaker 2>I can't imagine this, This very cool but obviously very

442
00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:19.799
<v Speaker 2>fake medal that was around my neck. That was annoying. Total. Yeah,

443
00:22:20.039 --> 00:22:26.000
<v Speaker 2>twenty eight of them, eight gold and one Olympics sixteen

444
00:22:26.039 --> 00:22:30.039
<v Speaker 2>of those were individual medals, most gold medals in a

445
00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:32.960
<v Speaker 2>single games. He still holds that record. He's and you know,

446
00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:37.759
<v Speaker 2>he's a he's remembered probably most four for the eight

447
00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:40.240
<v Speaker 2>beij Beijing eight was when he won the eight golds.

448
00:22:40.640 --> 00:22:44.880
<v Speaker 2>But you forget he he swam and won medals in

449
00:22:45.160 --> 00:22:49.319
<v Speaker 2>five Olympics. That's a lot. Yeah, that's more than two.

450
00:22:50.319 --> 00:22:52.759
<v Speaker 2>And he swam in five Olympics, won medals in four

451
00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:55.880
<v Speaker 2>of them. But I mean, you know that's sixteen years.

452
00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:56.359
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

453
00:22:57.039 --> 00:22:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Heard, It's it's very rare. There was the guy I

454
00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:03.839
<v Speaker 2>the Denmark dude who I think did it in cross

455
00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:06.960
<v Speaker 2>country skiing. But that's a sport that you can still

456
00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:09.400
<v Speaker 2>compete in and you're just getting warmed up when you're

457
00:23:09.400 --> 00:23:11.640
<v Speaker 2>our age wee. You can still cross country ski at

458
00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:15.559
<v Speaker 2>a competitive level, you're not generally swimming at an untouching

459
00:23:16.200 --> 00:23:18.519
<v Speaker 2>at that untouchable level level. And I mean, he was

460
00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:22.519
<v Speaker 2>just such a phenomenon. Every time he was swimming, even

461
00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:26.039
<v Speaker 2>if it was just a qualifier, the stadium was packed,

462
00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:29.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, a legend to that. I mean, he's probably

463
00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:32.240
<v Speaker 2>the Michael Jordan of the Olympics in general.

464
00:23:32.279 --> 00:23:35.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, nobody has more, right, nobody has more.

465
00:23:35.240 --> 00:23:38.519
<v Speaker 1>And I remember that time period being you know, going out.

466
00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:40.559
<v Speaker 1>We would be at a bar. Everybody'd stop what they're doing. Yeah,

467
00:23:40.759 --> 00:23:42.000
<v Speaker 1>we watched Michael Phelps well, and.

468
00:23:42.039 --> 00:23:43.720
<v Speaker 2>That's the thing that's so cool about swimming to it's

469
00:23:43.720 --> 00:23:46.119
<v Speaker 2>so fast, so fast. It's definitely that it's like kind

470
00:23:46.119 --> 00:23:47.880
<v Speaker 2>of like horse racing, which I don't give a crap

471
00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:51.200
<v Speaker 2>about except for ninety seconds every year when the Kentucky

472
00:23:51.240 --> 00:23:54.039
<v Speaker 2>Derby's run and everybody's staring at the screen. Yeah.

473
00:23:54.079 --> 00:23:57.880
<v Speaker 1>And I also I remember about Michael Phelps is even

474
00:23:57.920 --> 00:24:01.240
<v Speaker 1>if he was behind, there was never any.

475
00:24:01.079 --> 00:24:03.799
<v Speaker 2>Doubt he had this extra gear for that last le.

476
00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:07.359
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, I'm so scared he's you know, he's behind,

477
00:24:07.400 --> 00:24:09.119
<v Speaker 1>and then all of a sudden he just yeah, crushes

478
00:24:09.119 --> 00:24:09.599
<v Speaker 1>it at the end.

479
00:24:09.640 --> 00:24:12.440
<v Speaker 2>And the celebrations that like slamming the water when he

480
00:24:12.519 --> 00:24:14.519
<v Speaker 2>got to the end and looked up at the scoreboard,

481
00:24:14.599 --> 00:24:17.160
<v Speaker 2>pulled his goggles off, saw he won maybe some big shoulders.

482
00:24:17.240 --> 00:24:20.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah he had a swimmer's body.

483
00:24:20.440 --> 00:24:21.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's a really good one.

484
00:24:21.720 --> 00:24:23.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I'll give you a couple of honorable men.

485
00:24:23.480 --> 00:24:25.079
<v Speaker 1>Already gave you my already gave you mind. So let's

486
00:24:25.079 --> 00:24:25.480
<v Speaker 1>hear yours.

487
00:24:25.559 --> 00:24:28.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so I think Usain Bolt deserves a mention.

488
00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:31.960
<v Speaker 1>There was there drug allegations with him or no, No,

489
00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:33.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm I don't think so, I'm thinking of somebody else.

490
00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:35.720
<v Speaker 2>No, there was, you know, there were. He was one

491
00:24:35.720 --> 00:24:37.440
<v Speaker 2>of those love him or hate him. He was very

492
00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:41.039
<v Speaker 2>cocky and deservingly so he used to celebrate and sometimes

493
00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:43.079
<v Speaker 2>he was so far ahead he'd slow down before he

494
00:24:43.119 --> 00:24:46.960
<v Speaker 2>got to the finish line and start celebrating. Tara Lipinski

495
00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:49.759
<v Speaker 2>winning gold. She was so young, she was like fifteen,

496
00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:53.160
<v Speaker 2>maybe even fourteen. That was Nagano in ninety eight and

497
00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:55.960
<v Speaker 2>she lives on. You know, she's She and Johnny Weir

498
00:24:56.119 --> 00:24:59.920
<v Speaker 2>famously still call you know, are on the figure skating call.

499
00:25:01.440 --> 00:25:06.480
<v Speaker 2>Derek Redmond finishing the race in Barcelona ninety two. I

500
00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:08.559
<v Speaker 2>had this vague memory. I had to do the research.

501
00:25:08.599 --> 00:25:11.400
<v Speaker 2>He tore his hamstring in the middle of the four

502
00:25:11.480 --> 00:25:17.000
<v Speaker 2>hundred meters semifinal, insisted on finishing. His dad broke through security,

503
00:25:17.640 --> 00:25:21.000
<v Speaker 2>came onto the course to just help him get to

504
00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:24.759
<v Speaker 2>the finish line. It was no no metal, no podium, obviously,

505
00:25:24.839 --> 00:25:28.200
<v Speaker 2>it was just this very very sun Yeah. Yeah, because

506
00:25:28.200 --> 00:25:29.559
<v Speaker 2>we didn't touch on that a ton. But that's a

507
00:25:29.559 --> 00:25:33.119
<v Speaker 2>big part of right, the Olympic, the fairly culture is

508
00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:37.000
<v Speaker 2>just yeah, the family. Those moments that yeah, there was

00:25:42.759 --> 00:25:45.240
<v Speaker 2>and falls and another is like maybe in contention but

512
00:25:45.359 --> 00:25:48.759
<v Speaker 2>like stops to help her up. That some of those moments.

513
00:25:49.119 --> 00:25:52.240
<v Speaker 2>Michelle Kwan never won gold, but you know, one of

514
00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:55.200
<v Speaker 2>the most memorable US figure skaters of all time yep

520
00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:14.240
<v Speaker 2>loved and hated too. He like embraced the chaos and

521
00:26:14.279 --> 00:26:19.559
<v Speaker 2>he won some races because people collided in front of him.

522
00:26:19.640 --> 00:26:21.480
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, there's there's a handful of are.

<v Speaker 2>for you when it's like the end of playoffs, and

532

536
00:26:53.319 --> 00:26:55.920
<v Speaker 2>basketball guy, a huge Badger fan. It was pretty devastated.

537
00:26:55.960 --> 00:26:58.599
<v Speaker 2>We had a team with potential this year and crazy

538
00:26:58.640 --> 00:27:00.759
<v Speaker 2>some crazy shots at the end. We low first round

539
00:27:01.319 --> 00:27:04.640
<v Speaker 2>two to high Point, And for a few days that

540
00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:06.440
<v Speaker 2>was sort of eating up my soul a little bit.

541
00:27:06.920 --> 00:27:09.000
<v Speaker 2>And now it's like, I mean, I'm excited for tonight,
