WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:02.839 So happy that we have the Olympics to talk about, 2 00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:07.799 even though there's politics and everything in it. And and 3 00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:09.960 again we're not talking about I mean, some of it 4 00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:12.000 will talk about for the right reason. There's some good 5 00:00:12.039 --> 00:00:16.879 stuff there, but nah, for the most part, like what 6 00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:20.960 the holy hell was going on? And I use that 7 00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:26.879 exact phrasing for the exact reason that I too, happened 8 00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:30.800 to catch a glance of the opening ceremonies and was 9 00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:39.560 incredibly confused, and then we started getting lied to. And 10 00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:45.399 at that point I'm just popping that mic. Sorry, I 11 00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:48.479 like adjusted the cut. I have like a soft cover 12 00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:51.320 on my mic, and it finally gave out. I'm gonna 13 00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:54.280 have to go get my other little, uh little thing 14 00:00:54.359 --> 00:01:01.200 for it. So I apologize for that. But so the 15 00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:05.680 the the opening ceremonies, which by the way, were what 16 00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:10.400 like three hours or something. Now I get it, especially 17 00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:16.799 because it's Paris, they're gonna feel the necessity to flex 18 00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:25.799 their artistic muscle. So like the Marie Antoinette thing, Okay, 19 00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:31.760 well we'll start there. It was this weird pan shot, 20 00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:36.200 right and you had you had like this red back glow, 21 00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:40.680 and you know what looked like Marie Antoinette holding her head. 22 00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:47.040 If that was the if that, I didn't even mind that, Okay, whatever, 23 00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:50.439 it's Paris. That's the thing. French Revolution got it. I 24 00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:53.640 don't know if you know, but when we've had opening ceremonies, 25 00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:57.439 including the ones in Atlanta, well not the not the 26 00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:02.079 bombing part, but you know, there was a there was 27 00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:09.719 a definitive nod to the American Revolution there, okay, because 28 00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:14.039 I saw people were posting like screenshots of previous opening 29 00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:19.960 ceremonies in Russia and the US and Brazil. And but 30 00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:28.960 what we watched on Friday quickly devolve from that into 31 00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:37.639 and you'd have to convince me otherwise into a blatant 32 00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:43.199 screw you from a religious perspective. And and and that 33 00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:50.719 question was answered when what they purport is Dionysus, which, 34 00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:52.719 by the way, I want you to do something this morning, 35 00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:57.120 if you've never done it, I want you to knowing 36 00:02:57.199 --> 00:03:01.319 the image. I want you to all up the famous 37 00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:05.360 Feast of Dionysus painting, because that's what we were told 38 00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:08.240 they were attempting to go for with the long table 39 00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:12.840 full of drag queens. And then I want you to 40 00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:17.879 look at that painting. Okay, it's easy to search it up. 41 00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:19.919 You can even search it on Google because it doesn't 42 00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:23.159 have Trump's name in it. And so go and just 43 00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:25.120 be like, all right, I'm gonna do it right now, 44 00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:31.919 Beast of Dionysus. All right, all right, Beast of Dionysus. 45 00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:38.400 And you can go look at the painting. Yeah yeah, yeah, no, 46 00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:42.000 you get you go look at it. It is not 47 00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:46.080 remotely that. And then I want you to call up 48 00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:48.120 and maybe you have this image in your head, the 49 00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:53.000 Last Supper, and then I want you to look at 50 00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:56.039 any screen shot, any wide shot of what was going 51 00:03:56.080 --> 00:04:02.240 on at that table, and you tell me, because again 52 00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:05.960 we live in this post truth world where you just 53 00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:09.400 say it and then one hundred thousand idiots on Twitter 54 00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:12.439 will be like going into the community notes, no, it 55 00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:17.680 was actually this, and then the giant blue dress Jesus 56 00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:28.040 with the halo literally uh tweeted or excuse me, instagramed, 57 00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:31.920 let me get this, let me get this correct, instagrammed 58 00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:38.040 gay New Testament and referred to herself as her himself 59 00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:41.000 or what I didn't I don't even know, as God 60 00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:46.439 or as Jesus. Excuse me, but sure, no, it's the 61 00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:50.720 Feast of Dionysus. So you know, for an event that's 62 00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:56.040 now going to run for weeks. You decided to start 63 00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:58.199 it off by insulting a bunch of people, and they 64 00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:01.759 issued in a issued in a ology but not really, 65 00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:11.040 I don't know, And then I saw you know again, uh, 66 00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:13.600 the the trolling was heavy. We kind of got into 67 00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:17.759 the trolling on the show account because uh I uh 68 00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:25.439 I did yesterday point out that the predictive search may 69 00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:28.480 have been leaving some stuff out when you start typing 70 00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:31.800 in attempted assassination of and I and I, you know, 71 00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:38.160 I had hordes of disingenuous intellectually did us dishonest folks 72 00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:42.000 going you don't understand how algorithms work. Yeah, no, I 73 00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:46.199 kind of do. And even if you don't, it's it's 74 00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:48.879 pretty easy to get there. And we'll we'll touch on 75 00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:50.199 that in a moment. All right, So do you have 76 00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:52.720 a chance this morning to stare at the feast of 77 00:05:52.800 --> 00:06:00.199 Dionysus painting and the Last Supper and and then what 78 00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:07.800 we were presented with during the opening ceremonies. You tell me, okay, 79 00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:10.959 you ross you're an independent arbiter. I haven't told you 80 00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:14.240 were doing this test. I would like you to Akham's 81 00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:18.600 rasor this thing, and you tell me, Feast of Dionysus, 82 00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:24.720 Last Supper. What do you think the artistic director was 83 00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:30.240 going for with that particular piece of imagery. If you 84 00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:32.079 had to bet, you're you're not an art expert. I'm 85 00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:38.759 not an art expert. Best guess Beast of Dionysus or 86 00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:44.240 Last Supper. All right, so he's reviewing that your reviewed. 87 00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:48.160 You tell me, well, we get a statement from the 88 00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:50.759 Olympics and they're like, well, you know, we really, oh 89 00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:56.720 so sorry. Didn't mean to offend every every Christian on 90 00:06:56.879 --> 00:07:04.360 the planet. Didn't mean to do that, you know, was misinterpreted. 91 00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:09.720 The absolute gas lighting on this stuff is just legendary. 92 00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:15.120 And so what does it cause, Well, it causes folks 93 00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:17.839 to go ahead and not want to watch the Olympics. 94 00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:21.639 And that's too bad. A lot of people all across 95 00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:24.199 the world, but especially our athletes here in the United 96 00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:28.680 States and both the Olympics and the Paralympics, who will 97 00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:32.000 put a lot of work into their craft, their skill 98 00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:35.720 so they can go out and we can own one 99 00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:41.439 hundred and ninety some other countries. Plus we also there's 100 00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:45.639 also a refugee team. Did you know that? I did 101 00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:49.720 not know that? And then the there's a Palestinian team 102 00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:56.839 and only one person there is actually either from or 103 00:07:56.920 --> 00:08:04.680 living in quote unquote Palestine. The rest live elsewhere, including 104 00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:09.240 one who lives in the US and was born in Illinois. 105 00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:14.480 But you know, you get some of that where folks 106 00:08:14.519 --> 00:08:18.519 are not wanting or or not able to qualify, maybe 107 00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:21.279 on the US team who do that, or you get 108 00:08:21.319 --> 00:08:25.959 ones who want to get to payday, like the ah 109 00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:28.319 what was the ice Remember the ice skating chick in 110 00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:31.000 the Winter Olympics who decided to go be China's puppet 111 00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:38.240 and unfortunately fame and riches didn't follow because she choked 112 00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:42.080 during the Olympics. But that was a calculated thing, likely 113 00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:45.600 would have been on the US team, decided to compete 114 00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:49.840 for China because her mom or one side of her 115 00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:57.759 family is from China. The whole thing was wild, and 116 00:08:57.840 --> 00:09:03.679 yet we're all supposed to pretend that that wasn't that 117 00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:07.759 wasn't the attent. So we got that story this morning. 118 00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:10.720 That's gonna be in the stack and uh, and then 119 00:09:10.759 --> 00:09:13.120 of course we got all the you know, the general 120 00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:20.480 insanity of more election stuff. We'll figure out how climate 121 00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:26.360 change and feces is impacting the Olympics apparently. 122 00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:27.840 So, so I've compared the two photos. 123 00:09:27.879 --> 00:09:31.879 Now, all right, all right, usually hours of deduction. 124 00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:35.120 But well, because I've seen the Last Supper obviously, but 125 00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:36.799 I've never seen anything about the what. 126 00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:40.559 Is the Dionysus? It's so very famous painting. 127 00:09:40.679 --> 00:09:43.840 I would say without the weird blue guy that looks 128 00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:46.919 like a weird smurf, yeah, smurf thing, I would probably 129 00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:48.919 say Last Supper, but if you throw a smurf guy 130 00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:50.679 in there, it could be the feast. I don't know, 131 00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:54.720 so you I do know the big girl that was 132 00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:57.399 in the center there, she's come out and said that 133 00:09:57.440 --> 00:10:00.240 she was told that she was Olympic Jesus yeah. 134 00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:04.919 And gay New Testament Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, So that's weird. 135 00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:06.480 I don't know what it is. I do know that 136 00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:07.919 it was enough to make me be like, well, I 137 00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:09.960 wasn't going to pay attention before, and now I'm definitely 138 00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:11.799 not going to pay attention. I was talking to the 139 00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:13.519 dude that works at the front desk at the Planet 140 00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:16.559 Fitness today at the gym, and you know, the Olympics 141 00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:17.840 were on the TV there. They were showing some of 142 00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:20.679 the gymnasts and I said, just making conversation, I said, 143 00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:22.919 remember when the Olympics were this huge thing, like in 144 00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:26.440 the nineties and eighties, Like, dude, we would watch it. 145 00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:29.159 We were glued to our televisions. In my family, it 146 00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:32.279 was a big family event. We'd get together. You still remember, 147 00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:35.120 I don't remember her name. It was a Carrie Strug. 148 00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:39.159 Carrie Strug, the gymnasts who who literally broke her ankle, right, 149 00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:41.919 he carried off after getting the gold. 150 00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:44.039 Bad right, and he mentioned that we couldn't remember her name, 151 00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:45.799 but he was like, you know, remember she she had 152 00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:47.879 the ankle and she she stuck the landing and she 153 00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:51.879 run that dude's arms, like the big guy with the mustache, 154 00:10:51.919 --> 00:10:52.519 and you. 155 00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:55.120 Know, yeah, the Russian dude who basically came he left 156 00:10:55.159 --> 00:10:57.759 the USSR to come over and basically him and his 157 00:10:57.799 --> 00:11:02.080 wife were the Olympic gurus the gymnastics for years. My ex, 158 00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:04.600 uh the X, I dated for a long time. She 159 00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:07.840 was a college gymnast and she actually coached, so I 160 00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:10.720 know way more about women's gymnastics than you would ever know. 161 00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:14.879 But yeah, that dude was famous. Carrie Strug was fan. 162 00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:19.200 I'm telling you. We used to be glued to our televisions. 163 00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:21.679 It was a big event. And now in this once again. 164 00:11:21.720 --> 00:11:23.399 The guy the gym said before even I could bring 165 00:11:23.399 --> 00:11:26.159 it up, he said, Now they had this weird opening 166 00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:28.759 ceremony where I'm like, what is going on? And then 167 00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:32.039 everyone has to make a political and Lebron James isn't 168 00:11:32.080 --> 00:11:35.919 standing during the anthem, yet they had him coming in 169 00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:38.879 a carrying like the flag in the in the in 170 00:11:38.919 --> 00:11:43.240 the d day boat or whatever it was, the DA Yeah. 171 00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:45.039 The landing was. 172 00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:48.000 Then stand like, what are you doing? 173 00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:48.399 Dude? 174 00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:52.279 Let me ask you this, all right, would you I will? 175 00:11:53.159 --> 00:11:56.639 I would expect because it's it's Paris that they're gonna 176 00:11:56.639 --> 00:11:59.759 be weird, super weird. Yeah, okay, which is fine. Again 177 00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:02.320 the Marie Antoinette thing, I saw some people were mad 178 00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:05.919 about that. I no, I thought that was fine. That's 179 00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:07.159 right what I would expect. 180 00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:10.240 Yeah, because they're trying to say it's like a demonic symbolism. 181 00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:13.279 Yeah I'm not. I'm not here for it. What was 182 00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:16.960 the with the Marines when that's just a thing I understand. 183 00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:20.440 But the problem is you couple that with everything else, 184 00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:26.679 you know, gay New Testament, Olympic Jesus. Some people, uh, 185 00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:28.360 you had the horse right. 186 00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:33.519 The Pale Rider, Yeah, and the fourth Horsemen of the 187 00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:36.879 apocalypse whatever coming in. Yeah, is that bad? I mean, 188 00:12:36.919 --> 00:12:38.639 like I said, I'm just looking at it briefly. 189 00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:39.600 I was. 190 00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:41.600 I took a lot of time off this weekend from 191 00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:44.080 social media. This weekend did feel like a regular weekend. 192 00:12:44.120 --> 00:12:47.120 Last Friday, we retire, We were we had a lot 193 00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:48.879 going off at the Hayes compound. We have a lot 194 00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:50.480 of stuff going around the house and stuff or getting 195 00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:53.559 ready for obviously from the in laws. Oh but but 196 00:12:53.720 --> 00:12:56.200 all ont aside, it was still a nice, RESTful I 197 00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:59.799 guess it's RESTful as relevant compared to the past two weeks. 198 00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:03.000 It was a nice weekend. Tried to want paid some 199 00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:06.559 attention to the Olympics, but once I see like blue Smurf, 200 00:13:06.679 --> 00:13:10.399 nymph man or whatever is on the table and uh, 201 00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:15.759 you know, obese Olympic Jesus woman as and then I'm out. 202 00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:16.200 I'm out. 203 00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:18.080 Don't you don't like pedophile smurf? 204 00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:19.399 I don't care. Yeah, I'm out. 205 00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:22.240 Yeah, yeah, yeah, which is which which I hate because 206 00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:24.519 because it used to be a thing. It used to 207 00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:26.720 be a thing, and people have put a crap ton 208 00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:31.039 of work. I think Simone Biles is amazing, right again, 209 00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:34.120 it's incredible. Yeah, I know that people got into the 210 00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:36.440 whole Uh remember where she kind of dipped out on 211 00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:38.039 something like question or work. 212 00:13:38.360 --> 00:13:41.480 She's no, yeah, they did question the fact that she's 213 00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:45.240 a human being, and people get anxious and then it's psychological. Yeah. 214 00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:47.399 Yeah. She said I wouldn't be able to win right now, 215 00:13:47.720 --> 00:13:50.000 Let's let somebody else go in there. And then she 216 00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:54.000 came back and and kicked everybody's ass. So like I 217 00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:58.279 hated for her, I hated for everybody else who include 218 00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:01.840 we got many North Carolina athletes that are out there competing. 219 00:14:02.120 --> 00:14:04.879 I hate it for them because, you know, a lot 220 00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:08.200 of these sports, a lot of these events, this is 221 00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:12.279 the only notoriety you get, right. 222 00:14:12.200 --> 00:14:14.639 If you're being bust your ass. I mean, you've dedicated 223 00:14:14.679 --> 00:14:15.440 your life to this. 224 00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:18.120 Yes, and you're, but you're also you're in a sport 225 00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:21.399 that doesn't draw big crowds. You're you're probably you know, 226 00:14:21.480 --> 00:14:27.600 most of these athletes don't survive or wouldn't survive outside 227 00:14:27.679 --> 00:14:29.960 of the stipend and the end, which, by the way, 228 00:14:29.960 --> 00:14:32.240 they have to raise money. I don't know if you 229 00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:34.039 I don't know if you know this, and if you're 230 00:14:34.080 --> 00:14:37.440 some own biles, that's a lot easier. But if if 231 00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:39.639 you're like in one of the shooting events, you got 232 00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:45.320 to grind. I've known a couple people just over the 233 00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:48.480 years because I was doing the hunting and fishing stuff too. 234 00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:50.960 I used to do a show in Minnesota. It was syndicated, 235 00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:54.159 and uh, you know, so we talk shooting, we talk 236 00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:58.759 all this stuff, and you know, these are they got 237 00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:01.840 to go out and raise money for for for like 238 00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:04.879 going to the Olympics and stuff. So talking to some 239 00:15:04.919 --> 00:15:07.600 of the Olympic hopefuls, I mean, they're doing it because 240 00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:11.600 it's their passion, man, And we got all sorts of stuff, 241 00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:14.639 and yet you decide to kick it off with the 242 00:15:14.679 --> 00:15:17.879 thing that tells the dude at Planet Fitness talking with 243 00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:20.519 Ross this morning because he's there getting his gains on 244 00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:25.679 a Monday, which God bless you man, where you just like, 245 00:15:25.759 --> 00:15:27.399 I'm out out. 246 00:15:27.639 --> 00:15:31.159 Plus they made the female beach volleyball players put on pants. 247 00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:32.519 It's crap. 248 00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:38.200 Do you see the the swimmer retired at the Olympics. 249 00:15:38.240 --> 00:15:45.159 At the Olympic from Germany or something. I don't want 250 00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:50.480 her to win, but hello, so so anyway, yes, yeah, 251 00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:59.159 it's it absolutely decimates the the enthusiasm that we feel. 252 00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:01.840 Why were why was everything so much better in the 253 00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:04.440 nineties or is it just because that's the era you 254 00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:07.279 and I look back with fondness on right, we talked 255 00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:11.039 about the Dream Team, which is Olympic adjacent, but it's like, 256 00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:16.399 I feel like professional sports well, actually no, I don't 257 00:16:16.440 --> 00:16:18.919 know if you fondly remember the nineties from a professional 258 00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:22.679 sports standpoint, as they likely caused you great frustration. But 259 00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:25.159 oh crap, all right, look at that, I just went over. 260 00:16:25.159 --> 00:16:26.600 All right, we got to take a break. Hang on, 261 00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:30.120 we'll be back, obviously for something that huge. With that 262 00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:34.440 many people like they have their own committee there, and 263 00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:36.720 then the IOC has its committee, right, you have the 264 00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:40.399 local committee of the IOC. And I promise as much 265 00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:43.960 as these folks love bureaucracy with generally who's involved there 266 00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:47.159 the fact that nobody at any point when they were 267 00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:50.600 going over like sketches or practice, right, they had to practice. 268 00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:56.919 All of that went you know, you know that looks 269 00:16:56.960 --> 00:16:59.840 a little like the uh last Supper there. Maybe we 270 00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:03.080 shouldn't do that blue Smurf, Like if you'd have just 271 00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:08.599 done weird Peto Smurf, dude, I don't know, maybe still 272 00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:10.720 would be weird. What was the other? Oh, the other 273 00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:13.680 thing was did one of the dancers literally have his 274 00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:18.279 We'll go with twigs, twig and berries if you understand 275 00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:22.880 the reference the sports car reference there did were his 276 00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:29.319 berries hanging out of his short shorts. Because I saw 277 00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:33.720 that image getting posted around, I didn't, uh, Ross, what 278 00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:35.839 do you think? Okham's raising this thing again? 279 00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:38.640 They're gonna Okham's to raisor Ramona. Yeah, but they were 280 00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:40.880 debating like which part of the manhood it was? 281 00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:45.119 Yeah, the theory was berries, twig or tear into. 282 00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:49.400 It's definitely not tear but did you do some research? 283 00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:52.000 We should I saw the photo. The fact is we 284 00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:54.279 should not be having this debate at all, Like this 285 00:17:54.359 --> 00:17:57.759 shouldn't be like something that happens after the opening ceremony. 286 00:17:57.759 --> 00:18:00.400 We should be like, hey, like you said, hey, what's 287 00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:02.519 up with that blue smurf nymph? Elf guy? 288 00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:03.240 Yeah? 289 00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:05.240 Or hey, what's up with all those mines that were there? 290 00:18:05.279 --> 00:18:05.839 That was weird? 291 00:18:05.920 --> 00:18:08.039 Or is it though? Like Paris? 292 00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:08.240 Right? 293 00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:09.799 Yeah, this is what I'm saying. It should be like 294 00:18:09.799 --> 00:18:10.880 typical weird France. 295 00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:13.119 Stuff and people should be having fun with it. Yeah, 296 00:18:13.160 --> 00:18:15.319 and like one or two people should be offended whatever, 297 00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:19.519 Like if you'd have just done the horse right without 298 00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:21.440 all the other religious imagery. I'd be like, it's a 299 00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:23.000 laser light show basically. 300 00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:26.920 So, I don't know, man, I would like prefer my 301 00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:29.240 opening ceremonies not to have something that looks like a 302 00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:31.000 dark Soul's boss in it, you know what I mean? 303 00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:36.960 Or all dark Souls bosses all at once and get 304 00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:39.319 a cage match, or so, I don't know. Whatever, you know, 305 00:18:39.440 --> 00:18:40.799 make it interesting. 306 00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:43.039 To your point. I also believe that Hell and his 307 00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:44.440 Cell should be an Olympic event. 308 00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:50.160 Okay, fair enough? Breakdancing is that's right? August ninth, They're 309 00:18:50.160 --> 00:18:52.880 gonna kick off the breakdancing. I bet they don't save 310 00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:57.440 one rec center? What do you think none? I'm gonna 311 00:18:57.440 --> 00:18:58.079 say zero. 312 00:18:58.559 --> 00:19:01.119 If they use their powers for good, they probably could. 313 00:19:01.119 --> 00:19:04.519 But yeah, he said, the Olympic committee is sort of 314 00:19:04.519 --> 00:19:06.480 like FIFA whatever it's it's corrupt. 315 00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:08.920 Did you hear how the scoring works on that fake 316 00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:09.160 of it? 317 00:19:09.400 --> 00:19:09.599 No? 318 00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:12.599 All right, so it's it's just like it's like a 319 00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:13.799 rap battle, right they. 320 00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:14.440 Just all right? 321 00:19:16.559 --> 00:19:19.880 What was his name in eight mile? Oh Rabbit? 322 00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:20.119 Right? 323 00:19:20.200 --> 00:19:23.759 Yeah, rab rabbit, Papa Doc, Yeah, Papa Doc Rabbit. You're 324 00:19:23.880 --> 00:19:26.319 up right, except they'll break dance off at each other 325 00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:28.920 back and forth, back and forth, move for move, there's 326 00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:31.559 no points, it'll just be after the judges who they 327 00:19:31.720 --> 00:19:32.200 liked more. 328 00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:36.319 This sounds completely fair. Is there a giant boombox? 329 00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:40.240 If there's not like a like a you know, like 330 00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:43.319 the size of a car one there just for the aesthetics, 331 00:19:43.440 --> 00:19:47.319 you've really let me down. So I don't know, man, 332 00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:50.279 I don't know. But those were the Those were the 333 00:19:50.319 --> 00:19:53.720 little intricacies and the things that people make jokes about. 334 00:19:53.799 --> 00:19:56.559 But it wasn't some seething hatred for what they were seeing. 335 00:19:57.680 --> 00:19:59.799 But when you just crap on people out of the 336 00:19:59.799 --> 00:20:04.240 game and then try to pretend like you didn't understand 337 00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:06.680 what was going on. Like even in the apology they 338 00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:10.640 were talking about how they're wanting to focus on inclusivity, Well, 339 00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:14.119 you're giving away the game between that and the Instagram thing. 340 00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:17.279 And the inclusivity for you was to tell a bunch 341 00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:20.960 of people who are religious that you're gonna stick, you know, 342 00:20:21.079 --> 00:20:24.000 drag queens in there, or you're going to do this 343 00:20:25.160 --> 00:20:28.759 because they need to understand that this is inclusivity. And 344 00:20:28.799 --> 00:20:32.119 the other thing is too like if it was the 345 00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:37.319 way you chose to include that right again, it's it's 346 00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:41.079 they're French. I expect that it's gonna be weird and 347 00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:44.440 so like if you had drag queens doing something else, like, 348 00:20:44.559 --> 00:20:48.480 you can still send your message, but you can't go there. 349 00:20:49.880 --> 00:20:52.079 And I noticed there wasn't And I'm not the first 350 00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:54.279 person to think of this. I noticed there wasn't a 351 00:20:54.400 --> 00:21:00.119 drag queen Mohammed. I think the and why don't you 352 00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:05.119 do that in Paris? I'm sure to be fine. I'm surely, 353 00:21:05.599 --> 00:21:07.640 I'm sure it'll be fine. You can call it drag 354 00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:11.400 queen Charlie epdo right to you know, have a little 355 00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:13.799 fun with it, so you can, I guess, plausibly deny 356 00:21:13.839 --> 00:21:15.920 it when your city's being burned to the ground. 357 00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:21.200 I mean, once again, I'm starting to think that maybe 358 00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:25.319 the burning of Notre Dame wasn't a wasn't an accident, 359 00:21:25.920 --> 00:21:27.119 you know what I mean? Whoa? 360 00:21:27.160 --> 00:21:27.519 Whoa? 361 00:21:27.759 --> 00:21:28.880 Is your conspiracy? 362 00:21:29.079 --> 00:21:29.319 Wow? 363 00:21:29.559 --> 00:21:33.480 Look at you? Your ross is making stuff up that 364 00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:37.799 seems kind of logical. I've been there, man, people, if 365 00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:42.000 you don't know this too, it's it's, it's it's on 366 00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:47.079 its own island thing. It's it's and it's amazing or 367 00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:49.559 it was, and I hope that it is. Again. I 368 00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:54.240 obviously I haven't been there since since that happened. What 369 00:21:54.319 --> 00:21:56.640 are they blame it on some dude with a cigarette. 370 00:21:58.480 --> 00:22:00.720 I think that's what they blamed it on, right, some 371 00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:04.079 worker with a cigarette or something. But I remember reading 372 00:22:04.119 --> 00:22:06.519 how that didn't really track. So I don't know, man, 373 00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:11.119 I just I don't understand it, except for the need 374 00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:18.079 of people too, you know, crap on people that they 375 00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:20.680 don't agree with. And this is this goes back to 376 00:22:20.720 --> 00:22:23.359 our little nineties discussion we were having. And it could 377 00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:27.519 be just nostalgia, and it doesn't mean that everything was perfect. 378 00:22:27.599 --> 00:22:33.599 But I've heard it referred to as the Fresh Prince era. Right, 379 00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:37.319 So I can't remember who was on Twitter calls at that, 380 00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:40.559 but but they but they weren't talking about, you know, 381 00:22:40.599 --> 00:22:43.680 their love of Will Smith. They were talking about how 382 00:22:44.440 --> 00:22:51.319 all of the things that are just the worst parts 383 00:22:51.599 --> 00:23:00.720 of the political correctness stuff, the the pitting of individuals 384 00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:05.839 against each other, were we were softening. Right. You never 385 00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:13.680 had a larger unforced contingent of primarily black primetime television 386 00:23:13.680 --> 00:23:19.839 shows than you did in the nineties on the networks, 387 00:23:19.960 --> 00:23:23.839 not even today. I've said, uh, you know what, I 388 00:23:23.839 --> 00:23:27.319 could pull these numbers up. I remember reading this when 389 00:23:27.359 --> 00:23:31.119 you look, and and they weren't and and they were there, 390 00:23:31.279 --> 00:23:35.039 and they were popular. And it wasn't just black, it 391 00:23:35.119 --> 00:23:38.400 was it was Hispanic. You have a lot of Asian 392 00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:42.559 shows now, you had a few then, and and people 393 00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:49.119 watched it. Regardless how many of you watched Bernie mac show, 394 00:23:50.680 --> 00:23:53.400 it was great they had. You had Bernie Mack, you 395 00:23:53.480 --> 00:23:57.720 had Living Pez, George Lopez, you had Martin, you had 396 00:23:57.759 --> 00:24:01.279 all these shows. Yes, yes, I mean when you watched them. 397 00:24:01.240 --> 00:24:03.799 Then it was it was pre internet, so we had 398 00:24:03.960 --> 00:24:05.839 a lot more freedom than we did now, especially if 399 00:24:05.839 --> 00:24:07.920 you're growing up, you're like a teen or whatever. Right, 400 00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:10.680 your bosses couldn't get to you after hours. Right, So 401 00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:12.680
