WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.080
I really have no idea what the rules of fencing

00:00:02.080 --> 00:00:04.179
are and I think that's why I enjoy it. Yeah,

00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:08.380
like whether you choose wood post or metal post.

00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:10.279
The amount of backyard that you're covering,

00:00:10.519 --> 00:00:12.800
I think that also comes into play. I have shit

00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:34.950
on this podcast. So here is to conversation.

00:01:02.090 --> 00:01:03.590
I mean, there's got to be ups and downs, right?

00:01:05.170 --> 00:01:07.549
Take two. Welcome to the Cash Exchange. Welcome.

00:01:07.750 --> 00:01:12.489
What's up? Not much. I am about to lose my mind

00:01:12.489 --> 00:01:14.290
in this hundred degree weather. I'm ready to

00:01:14.290 --> 00:01:17.370
break out the fall clothes. I already have, but

00:01:17.370 --> 00:01:21.349
it's still unfairly hot in Austin. I don't want

00:01:21.349 --> 00:01:27.290
to toot my own horn or maybe say I have it any

00:01:27.290 --> 00:01:31.030
better than you do, but currently the forecast

00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:37.700
where I am is tomorrow has a low of 63. And then

00:01:37.700 --> 00:01:39.599
it dips down into the 40s later in the week.

00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:44.859
I want that. I want sleeves weather again. You

00:01:44.859 --> 00:01:47.680
mean like these? Like these sleeves that I'm

00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:50.400
rocking right now? For the record, I am in a

00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:52.799
flannel, but I'm also in a very cold apartment.

00:01:53.140 --> 00:01:55.200
So I'm dressed for the season that I want, not

00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:57.719
the season that I have. There you go. It's like

00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:00.230
a job interview. Yeah. Dress for the job you

00:02:00.230 --> 00:02:01.890
want, not the one you have. Channeling my inner

00:02:01.890 --> 00:02:04.969
Katy Perry. Do you hear about her? No. And Trudeau?

00:02:05.170 --> 00:02:07.890
Thankfully, I know what? Yeah, her and Justin

00:02:07.890 --> 00:02:09.629
Trudeau. That is a thing that is currently happening

00:02:09.629 --> 00:02:14.090
right now. Wild times. He's got a thing for astronauts,

00:02:14.270 --> 00:02:16.750
and she's got a thing for fellas in blackface,

00:02:16.770 --> 00:02:20.169
I guess. Was Orlando Bloom a fellow in blackface

00:02:20.169 --> 00:02:22.530
at some point? Maybe. I don't know. One of the

00:02:22.530 --> 00:02:24.930
Pirates movies, probably. Different times. All

00:02:24.930 --> 00:02:26.689
right, you ready for your three things? What

00:02:26.689 --> 00:02:30.409
do you got? All right, what do Pepsi ice cucumber

00:02:30.409 --> 00:02:33.870
that 70s show and Cletus T Judd have in common?

00:02:33.990 --> 00:02:36.569
That 80s show. What'd I say? That 70s show. That

00:02:36.569 --> 00:02:39.610
one's not obscure. Did I say that 80s show or

00:02:39.610 --> 00:02:42.069
that 70s show? You said 70s show. God damn it.

00:02:42.210 --> 00:02:45.430
Try that one again. All right. All right, you

00:02:45.430 --> 00:02:46.789
ready for your three things? What do you got?

00:02:47.050 --> 00:02:50.250
All right, what do Pepsi ice cucumber, that 80s

00:02:50.250 --> 00:02:53.050
show and Cletus T Judd have in common? I don't,

00:02:53.129 --> 00:02:56.469
I've never heard of Pepsi ice cucumber, but I

00:02:56.469 --> 00:03:01.189
want it. Do they make it currently? It is a Japanese

00:03:01.189 --> 00:03:05.009
delicacy. Can you get it in the states? I don't

00:03:05.009 --> 00:03:06.849
really, I don't know what the tariffs would be

00:03:06.849 --> 00:03:12.030
like on a can of Pepsi. I don't know. I don't

00:03:12.030 --> 00:03:14.930
know. Emily runs into this a lot because she

00:03:14.930 --> 00:03:22.310
is a filthy northerner and they have a lot of

00:03:22.310 --> 00:03:26.449
things from neck of the woods that we just don't

00:03:26.449 --> 00:03:29.770
get down here one of them being mellow yellow

00:03:29.770 --> 00:03:35.770
Which is a coke product. It's like it's the It

00:03:35.770 --> 00:03:38.229
yeah. Yeah, that's like the northern squirt.

00:03:38.409 --> 00:03:41.569
Apparently northerners don't squirt. They They

00:03:41.569 --> 00:03:46.530
just mellow yellow anyways, and so on my travels

00:03:46.530 --> 00:03:52.789
I look for it. I look for mellow yellow and usually

00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:56.199
don't find it uh one place we can get it locally

00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:59.979
is like through a uh one of those coke mixing

00:03:59.979 --> 00:04:03.719
fountain things like at amc theaters they have

00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:06.419
mellow yellow most of the time when you stop

00:04:06.419 --> 00:04:09.080
coke freestyle that's what they're called uh

00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:11.240
but as far as like the bottles or cans you can't

00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:13.879
find those in stores usually really i thought

00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:15.620
that they were available i feel like i've seen

00:04:15.620 --> 00:04:17.360
mellow yellow but it it might have been from

00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:20.259
the coke freestyle machines yeah or it might

00:04:20.259 --> 00:04:22.899
just be a seasonal thing i don't know but Next

00:04:22.899 --> 00:04:27.800
impossible to find. You can get them shipped

00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:32.399
to you from Walmart, but you're paying like $12

00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:35.980
a case. Top of what it would regularly cost because

00:04:35.980 --> 00:04:39.040
I don't think $12 a case is crazy. Well, that

00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:41.560
plus shipping and the shipping is like another

00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:45.759
eight bucks. You're paying $20 for 12 cans that

00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:49.660
if it were any other soda that is available locally,

00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:53.519
it would be like, I don't know. Six five six

00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:55.019
something like that. I don't know the last time

00:04:55.019 --> 00:04:57.720
I bought a case of sodas So I don't know what

00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:01.240
those numbers are supposed to be well Yeah, I

00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:03.639
think of it in terms of like if you were buying

00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:07.040
it at a like sporting event like 20 bucks is

00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:08.959
not terrible if you consider the fact that you're

00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:12.279
getting like 12 cans from a baseball game kind

00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:15.660
of thing 12 cans at a baseball game for soda.

00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:18.819
You're not paying $12 for that. I know you're

00:05:18.819 --> 00:05:22.050
not but it's a It's a matter of perspective.

00:05:22.589 --> 00:05:27.269
I guess, yeah. Yeah, there's one time I had bought

00:05:27.269 --> 00:05:32.689
Kenny Chesney tickets for a concert at Cowboy

00:05:32.689 --> 00:05:35.589
Stadium, called him to a radio station, be caller,

00:05:35.910 --> 00:05:40.790
whatever, 96 or whatever, and I won Kenny Chesney

00:05:40.790 --> 00:05:44.649
tickets. I gave the ones that I had bought to

00:05:44.649 --> 00:05:50.519
you and mom, I think, and I went. And essentially,

00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:53.040
it wasn't free because I'd already bought tickets

00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:55.939
to it, but I felt that it was free. And so I

00:05:55.939 --> 00:05:58.240
just thought that meant I had carte blanche to

00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:04.500
just go wild. Boy, did I. Those like $18 hurricanes

00:06:04.500 --> 00:06:07.660
and the long plastic tubes are... You're drinking

00:06:07.660 --> 00:06:11.560
hurricanes? No joke. That is a hangover from

00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:14.220
hell. Oh, it was. Anything that comes in those

00:06:14.220 --> 00:06:16.959
long tubes anything that's that's you're able

00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:19.220
to drink on the street in New Orleans or Vegas

00:06:19.220 --> 00:06:24.339
just death But I did get to hang out with Mike

00:06:24.339 --> 00:06:27.699
Eli again again. We got to rekindle that friendship

00:06:27.699 --> 00:06:29.199
Oh, yeah, I used to hang out with him all the

00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:31.120
time back in high school. Yeah, he used to do

00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:35.120
these shows at This little barbecue place. They

00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:37.120
would usually do like solo shows I have stories

00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:39.100
from that place for another time like the time

00:06:39.100 --> 00:06:41.589
that I got permanently banned So he would be

00:06:41.589 --> 00:06:43.670
outside afterwards, like smoking a cigarette

00:06:43.670 --> 00:06:45.029
or whatever, and I'd just go hang out with him,

00:06:45.629 --> 00:06:48.490
and we would just hang out and talk for a little

00:06:48.490 --> 00:06:50.490
bit, and then he'd go do his thing. Same thing

00:06:50.490 --> 00:06:53.290
with Casey Donahue. I met a lot of people there.

00:06:53.689 --> 00:06:57.930
And then also at that concert, Casey Musgraves

00:06:57.930 --> 00:07:00.029
was out with her grandma, so I met her and her

00:07:00.029 --> 00:07:02.069
grandma. I met Casey Musgraves that day, too.

00:07:02.509 --> 00:07:05.290
Yeah. Shortest dress a person could possibly

00:07:05.290 --> 00:07:07.509
wear without getting a public indecency charge,

00:07:07.529 --> 00:07:10.100
but I wonder if... Granny Musgraves is still

00:07:10.100 --> 00:07:13.420
kicking it. All right. So Pepsi iced cucumber,

00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:16.319
which is something that I very much want to seek

00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:21.019
out now. That 80s show and Cletus. Not that 70s

00:07:21.019 --> 00:07:25.279
show, not that 90s show. That 80s show. I do

00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:28.560
not care for either of the other two, even though

00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:31.060
that's how we got Dennis Reynolds. That 80s show

00:07:31.060 --> 00:07:34.439
was garbage. That 90s show, nostalgia bait nonsense.

00:07:36.090 --> 00:07:40.370
I've only seen that 80s show in reference to

00:07:40.370 --> 00:07:42.769
these terrible sequels we can't believe got made.

00:07:43.290 --> 00:07:45.850
Yeah. Terrible spinoffs, I guess. I mean, terrible

00:07:45.850 --> 00:07:48.129
spinoffs could be a pretty solid through line

00:07:48.129 --> 00:07:50.110
for all three of these. Cletus T. Judd is just

00:07:50.110 --> 00:07:52.370
a spinoff of Weird Al. I could probably get some

00:07:52.370 --> 00:07:55.170
heat for that, but he's not not a spinoff of

00:07:55.170 --> 00:07:59.889
Weird Al. I want to preface this and say that

00:07:59.889 --> 00:08:04.670
the topic of today's episode, there is no commentary

00:08:05.620 --> 00:08:09.060
on the quality. Cletus T. Judd had some great

00:08:09.060 --> 00:08:12.519
stuff. He had my cellmate thinks I'm sexy. How

00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:15.779
do you milk a cow? I forgot how do you milk a

00:08:15.779 --> 00:08:18.980
cow. This is true. This is true. I'm not saying

00:08:18.980 --> 00:08:22.060
that Cletus T. Judd wasn't solid. I'm not saying

00:08:22.060 --> 00:08:25.959
that Pepsi Ice Cucumber is not a great variety

00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:29.360
of Pepsi. I am saying that that 80s show is a

00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:32.720
crappy reboot of that 70s show. It is a crappy.

00:08:33.019 --> 00:08:36.919
Yeah, I caught that. I am... I'm censoring myself.

00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:41.620
It's fine. With that in mind, they are still

00:08:41.620 --> 00:08:44.740
not the best or the original version of the thing.

00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:48.159
That is correct. And you are right on the precipice

00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:53.360
of what this episode is about. They are obscure

00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:57.039
versions of Big Popular Thing. There we go. There

00:08:57.039 --> 00:09:01.679
we go. And especially in reference to the Olympics.

00:09:02.039 --> 00:09:05.659
Do you make Olympics fan? No, not really. I watch

00:09:05.659 --> 00:09:08.759
the certain like events and stuff that are covered

00:09:08.759 --> 00:09:11.720
the most every year. I love the gymnastics portion

00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:15.820
because although everything is obviously an incredible

00:09:15.820 --> 00:09:19.259
feat of human ingenuity, I think the gymnastics

00:09:19.259 --> 00:09:21.240
ones are the only ones that like I personally

00:09:21.240 --> 00:09:24.799
see is like I don't bend like that. So that's

00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:27.490
that's kind of incredible. So superhuman. Yes,

00:09:27.490 --> 00:09:29.250
the only superhuman one to you. I mean, it's

00:09:29.250 --> 00:09:31.009
not the only superhuman one to me It's the only

00:09:31.009 --> 00:09:33.470
one that I engage with I think although I did

00:09:33.470 --> 00:09:37.049
I do always look for the meme ones the pole vaulter

00:09:37.049 --> 00:09:42.029
who Did not quite stick the landing. Oh, he stuck

00:09:42.029 --> 00:09:45.169
something he stuck something. Hey, what was her

00:09:45.169 --> 00:09:48.710
name? The break dancer girl ray gun ray gun ray

00:09:48.710 --> 00:09:51.809
gun the sport that was only in the Olympics for

00:09:51.809 --> 00:09:54.769
one time That's actually a lot more prevalent

00:09:54.769 --> 00:09:58.500
than you think. Yeah Uh -huh. Yeah. How do you

00:09:58.500 --> 00:10:02.240
feel about uh, what's her face? What is her name?

00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:04.659
The tiny one. Snowmiles. What do you think about

00:10:04.659 --> 00:10:07.000
her? Do you have an opinion? I think she's an

00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:09.740
incredible gymnast. Nothing about her being a

00:10:09.740 --> 00:10:13.360
quitter? No. No? Oh, okay. What about her being

00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:15.740
a quitter? I don't know. I mean just the last

00:10:15.740 --> 00:10:20.659
Olympics she was in, she decided that she couldn't

00:10:20.659 --> 00:10:25.320
mentally handle the team events, but she could

00:10:25.320 --> 00:10:29.139
do the individual events. I don't know, just

00:10:29.139 --> 00:10:31.480
rubbed me the wrong way a little bit. I think

00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:33.840
that's valid. Especially if you're at a caliber

00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:37.039
of like Simone Biles, Michael Phelps, like any

00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:40.000
of these people who have won just so many of

00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:42.240
these solo events, you know that their level

00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:44.639
of discipline and their level of like perfectionism

00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:47.100
is really really hard to match with other people.

00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:48.879
It doesn't really matter at the end of the day

00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:51.600
how in it all of her teammates are. At the end

00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:54.169
of the day like you can only kind of rely on

00:10:54.169 --> 00:10:56.350
yourself in a situation like that. So she's valid?

00:10:56.889 --> 00:10:59.649
I think so. I don't think that it's a dig on

00:10:59.649 --> 00:11:02.049
her teammates. I think that she, if you get to

00:11:02.049 --> 00:11:04.190
a certain level like that, you're kind of incapable

00:11:04.190 --> 00:11:06.970
of working with others. That's just how your

00:11:06.970 --> 00:11:10.389
work ethic, how your skill set has been built.

00:11:10.549 --> 00:11:12.809
Then why be in the team events at all? You know

00:11:12.809 --> 00:11:15.730
what I mean? I mean, it's possible that she was

00:11:15.730 --> 00:11:19.769
required to be in those plus the or to be eligible

00:11:19.769 --> 00:11:22.970
to do the solo events and then once she had enough

00:11:22.970 --> 00:11:25.590
uh like clout behind her name then she was able

00:11:25.590 --> 00:11:27.529
to say no to them but she couldn't necessarily

00:11:27.529 --> 00:11:29.570
have done it before maybe to be a part of team

00:11:29.570 --> 00:11:31.830
usa you have to be a part of team usa and then

00:11:31.830 --> 00:11:34.529
she eventually became simone viles before she

00:11:34.529 --> 00:11:37.370
was team usa yeah i mean i don't know i just

00:11:37.370 --> 00:11:41.990
think that uh she put a lot of uh i think it's

00:11:41.990 --> 00:11:45.909
just bad optics sure absolutely i get the uh

00:11:45.909 --> 00:11:50.379
i get the mental aspect of it but to say no when

00:11:50.379 --> 00:11:52.080
all these other people are counting on you, but

00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:54.620
then whenever it's just you be perfect, perfectly

00:11:54.620 --> 00:12:02.399
fine or well enough to do your part. To be fair,

00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:05.559
I don't also know a great deal about the situation.

00:12:06.539 --> 00:12:09.259
So that is, I think it makes sense from that

00:12:09.259 --> 00:12:11.840
context, but I also don't really understand the

00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:14.340
bigger things that play necessarily, especially

00:12:14.340 --> 00:12:19.730
not following the Olympics as closely as Do you

00:12:19.730 --> 00:12:25.429
know the original Olympics ran from 776 BCE to

00:12:25.429 --> 00:12:31.250
393 CE? I did. Was it always done for the same

00:12:31.250 --> 00:12:33.490
purpose? Like was that entire run supposed to

00:12:33.490 --> 00:12:39.330
be as a tribute to Zeus? Yes, the original. What

00:12:39.330 --> 00:12:42.830
stopped the original Olympics? I think the world

00:12:42.830 --> 00:12:45.940
just started getting too spread out and a lot

00:12:45.940 --> 00:12:49.419
more infighting. They would have a, I forgot

00:12:49.419 --> 00:12:53.379
what it was called, it was some Greek, ecu -syria?

00:12:53.960 --> 00:12:55.779
Yeah, that's what I'm going with, ecu -syria,

00:12:56.179 --> 00:12:59.639
Olympic truce. Like even during war times, these

00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:03.960
countries would let Olympians travel safely from

00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:06.980
site to site, even if they were at war. Unlike

00:13:06.980 --> 00:13:10.250
now, where... They have to have this weird workaround

00:13:10.250 --> 00:13:13.269
in order to have Russians compete in the Olympics.

00:13:13.470 --> 00:13:16.990
That is interesting. I mean, there's a lot more

00:13:16.990 --> 00:13:19.970
politics that I think bleed into... Oh, without

00:13:19.970 --> 00:13:23.309
a doubt. ...into the modern day Olympics. Yeah.

00:13:23.370 --> 00:13:26.330
I mean, you're dealing with a lot more different

00:13:26.330 --> 00:13:28.629
cultures. You're dealing with a lot more different

00:13:28.629 --> 00:13:31.350
space in between. You're dealing with a lot more

00:13:31.350 --> 00:13:34.210
information from all sides, from everything.

00:13:34.929 --> 00:13:38.450
So it's, I mean, I guess... giving them the work

00:13:38.450 --> 00:13:42.029
around for the Olympics is something close to

00:13:42.029 --> 00:13:44.789
what it used to be, but I don't know. I mean,

00:13:44.850 --> 00:13:48.230
the whole thing is so politically motivated and

00:13:48.230 --> 00:13:52.450
all the mess that went into Paris, was that last

00:13:52.450 --> 00:13:54.570
year, right? Was it last year? I think it was

00:13:54.570 --> 00:13:57.470
last year, because summer is during an election

00:13:57.470 --> 00:14:00.879
year. So, yeah. Summer is the, yeah. And then

00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:03.399
winter is next year. Did you ever think about

00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:05.620
the fact that Jesus could be at the Olympics?

00:14:05.860 --> 00:14:08.019
Jesus just sitting in the stands with his popcorn?

00:14:08.980 --> 00:14:10.899
He was sitting in the stands not competing. You

00:14:10.899 --> 00:14:12.799
think they wouldn't have entered some kind of

00:14:12.799 --> 00:14:17.659
loaves to fishes kind of competition? He could

00:14:17.659 --> 00:14:19.860
have cleaned house. What do you mean? He could

00:14:19.860 --> 00:14:21.500
have. He could have. And that actually comes

00:14:21.500 --> 00:14:24.259
up later in the episode where there have been

00:14:24.259 --> 00:14:26.779
competitions where just one country was competing.

00:14:27.019 --> 00:14:30.080
because no one else could compete in it. Yeah.

00:14:30.259 --> 00:14:32.379
Or wanted to. I think we're maybe thinking of

00:14:32.379 --> 00:14:35.259
different things, but a little bit of a flash

00:14:35.259 --> 00:14:38.600
forward to the the first of the modern day Olympics

00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:42.600
in nineteen hundred. Mm hmm. France had so many

00:14:42.600 --> 00:14:45.620
competitors that there was a lot of there was

00:14:45.620 --> 00:14:48.419
a lot of competitions that like they won because

00:14:48.419 --> 00:14:51.860
nobody else either knew the sport or like wanted

00:14:51.860 --> 00:14:53.480
to compete because there's weren't enough people

00:14:53.480 --> 00:14:56.759
from other places. Mm hmm. I went I went. Little

00:14:56.759 --> 00:14:58.940
ways into the rabbit hole in the 1900 Olympics

00:14:58.940 --> 00:15:01.519
and they're they're wild. They're wild But I

00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:03.299
do love the idea that Jesus could have competed

00:15:03.299 --> 00:15:07.000
in the Olympics. It brings me joy. Yeah the Sports

00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:08.980
that I'll go ahead and get into this one now

00:15:08.980 --> 00:15:12.279
the sports that France swept because no one else

00:15:12.279 --> 00:15:16.600
wanted to participate is the is the hottest of

00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:21.200
Olympic sports and it was croquet That game that

00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:24.740
you bought a set of for the backyard you used

00:15:24.740 --> 00:15:27.419
one time and then you just started using the

00:15:27.419 --> 00:15:29.600
mallets to just whack at everything. You just

00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:32.580
watched the croquet balls weather in the sun

00:15:32.580 --> 00:15:35.659
for several years until you feel reasonably able

00:15:35.659 --> 00:15:38.840
to throw it away. Just sitting there fading,

00:15:39.059 --> 00:15:42.580
having to move them every time you mow. Do you

00:15:42.580 --> 00:15:45.960
know how many spectators they had at the inaugural

00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:48.679
and only croquet competition in the Olympics?

00:15:49.039 --> 00:15:53.779
One. One ticketed person. You know, I like to

00:15:53.779 --> 00:15:57.419
believe that if I were in an era where, A, I

00:15:57.419 --> 00:15:59.399
could purchase things myself, because, you know,

00:15:59.620 --> 00:16:01.159
women weren't always allowed to do that. But

00:16:01.159 --> 00:16:04.019
like, if I had... Oh my, here we go. I'm not

00:16:04.019 --> 00:16:05.879
trying to make this political, but this is also

00:16:05.879 --> 00:16:10.440
1900. It was a different time. If I had the kind

00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:12.120
of disposable income that you would have had

00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:14.519
in the year 1900, I would be buying tickets to

00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:17.200
absolutely everything. I would be the second

00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:20.080
man in those stands for the croquet competition.

00:16:22.220 --> 00:16:25.899
But back to the original Olympics, if Jesus were

00:16:25.899 --> 00:16:29.320
to be in an Olympic sport, not just a spectator,

00:16:29.820 --> 00:16:31.720
of one that we know actually existed, what do

00:16:31.720 --> 00:16:34.860
you think would be the best one? If Jesus participated

00:16:34.860 --> 00:16:37.799
in the Olympics. Like rowing? It'd just be a

00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:42.720
jog for him. I don't know what the specifications

00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:46.100
are for rowing, but I don't think you're allowed

00:16:46.100 --> 00:16:50.759
to walk on water even if you can. In that case,

00:16:50.799 --> 00:16:53.940
would it be one of those situations where the

00:16:53.940 --> 00:16:57.620
weightlifters have the chains and then they're

00:16:57.620 --> 00:17:01.100
pulling 18 wheelers? Is that how that would go?

00:17:01.179 --> 00:17:05.029
Would he just be towing the canoe? full of the

00:17:05.029 --> 00:17:09.670
other other people yes yeah also could he theoretically

00:17:09.670 --> 00:17:13.009
do a diving competition or is it like a flat

00:17:13.009 --> 00:17:15.549
plane of glass would he be like scrooge mcduck

00:17:15.549 --> 00:17:18.109
in it or is this a tom and jerry like jumping

00:17:18.109 --> 00:17:21.910
off a jumping off the roof kind of thing i don't

00:17:21.910 --> 00:17:24.829
know i don't know i mean that's the question

00:17:24.829 --> 00:17:30.089
i have could will himself to let the that i don't

00:17:30.089 --> 00:17:33.779
know I think Jesus could find a way to make it

00:17:33.779 --> 00:17:36.339
work. He is the way. He can find a way. I think

00:17:36.339 --> 00:17:40.160
maybe he would just be like the lifeguard on

00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:43.579
the side of the Olympic pool, more than a participant.

00:17:43.920 --> 00:17:46.400
Hey, that's honorable. That's honorable. Yeah,

00:17:46.559 --> 00:17:51.880
the Olympics were held in the Peloponnese region

00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:54.859
of Greece. Don't ask me where that's at. I just

00:17:54.859 --> 00:17:58.859
know it's in Greece. And it was a religious festival.

00:17:59.019 --> 00:18:03.000
to honor the greek god zeus in all their naked

00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:06.000
glory that's a weird footnote about uh ancient

00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:09.380
olympics is that they were competed in nude and

00:18:09.380 --> 00:18:12.039
women could not compete situation would be vastly

00:18:12.039 --> 00:18:14.059
different not vastly different but it would have

00:18:14.059 --> 00:18:15.720
been a different game you wouldn't be able to

00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:17.859
show it on nbc i can tell you that much it's

00:18:17.859 --> 00:18:20.319
more of an ifc kind of competition now i don't

00:18:20.319 --> 00:18:22.160
even know if ifc still exists that's where you

00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:24.240
see it my whitest kid you know was ifc channel

00:18:24.349 --> 00:18:28.430
They think the first one was in 1776, that's

00:18:28.430 --> 00:18:30.349
the earliest one they can find records of but

00:18:30.349 --> 00:18:32.529
they think it was probably started before that.

00:18:32.849 --> 00:18:36.589
Just a single event is what started it all off

00:18:36.589 --> 00:18:40.809
and it was a two roughly 200 meter sprint called

00:18:40.809 --> 00:18:43.309
the Standian. Over time more events were added,

00:18:43.309 --> 00:18:46.130
wrestling, boxing, chariot racing, long jump

00:18:46.130 --> 00:18:51.069
javelin, discus and the brutal pancreation mix

00:18:51.069 --> 00:18:53.349
of wrestling and boxing with almost no rules.

00:18:53.640 --> 00:18:56.400
except that everyone has to be naked. That's

00:18:56.400 --> 00:19:00.000
the only rule. Do you get whatever the 776 BC

00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:04.519
equivalent of a cup was? No. You're just speed

00:19:04.519 --> 00:19:09.660
bagging some testes. That is logistically confusing.

00:19:10.660 --> 00:19:13.180
No, just logistically confusing. It was open

00:19:13.180 --> 00:19:17.700
to free Greek men, no ladies, with their bits

00:19:17.700 --> 00:19:23.019
all over the place. People that won got an olive.

00:19:23.180 --> 00:19:27.799
Wreath. They were very famous. Statues were made

00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:33.099
out of them. They were imbued on clay pots. And

00:19:33.099 --> 00:19:36.619
in artwork, juices were highly coveted, if you

00:19:36.619 --> 00:19:38.180
know what I mean. I do, but I really wish you

00:19:38.180 --> 00:19:41.500
didn't say juices. And they got like lifetime

00:19:41.500 --> 00:19:46.400
perks from the city, state, area that they were

00:19:46.400 --> 00:19:48.299
representing. Free smoothies at the mall food

00:19:48.299 --> 00:19:51.359
court kind of thing? Binion food court? A key

00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:53.640
to the city. I don't know what an ancient Greek

00:19:53.640 --> 00:19:55.740
key would look like. What does a key look like

00:19:55.740 --> 00:19:59.559
in that situation? It's just a little log that

00:19:59.559 --> 00:20:01.960
they put to keep the door locked, keep you from

00:20:01.960 --> 00:20:04.940
entering. You get to know a secret knock. Actually,

00:20:05.160 --> 00:20:07.539
I do know why they ended. I forgot I put this

00:20:07.539 --> 00:20:10.099
in my notes. The games continued for over a thousand

00:20:10.099 --> 00:20:14.180
years until Roman Emperor Thaddeus I banned them

00:20:14.180 --> 00:20:20.049
in 393 CE. or ad depending on your persuasion

00:20:20.049 --> 00:20:24.029
uh considering them a pagan festival so maybe

00:20:24.029 --> 00:20:27.089
jesus wasn't at the olympics maybe he boycotted

00:20:27.089 --> 00:20:31.369
them long before people were boycotting for rainbow

00:20:31.369 --> 00:20:34.049
i don't i don't even remember what the big controversy

00:20:34.049 --> 00:20:37.089
was there were drag queen performances that's

00:20:37.089 --> 00:20:40.009
it feels like a million years ago i don't know

00:20:40.009 --> 00:20:42.930
yeah yeah and then oh and then they did the uh

00:20:42.930 --> 00:20:45.579
they did the last supper tableau And that's what

00:20:45.579 --> 00:20:49.539
people were up in arms about. So we went, I don't

00:20:49.539 --> 00:20:53.859
know, roughly 1500 years without another Olympics.

00:20:54.680 --> 00:20:59.839
The idea was revived by a French teacher named

00:20:59.839 --> 00:21:04.059
Pierre de Colbertin. Do you think he's related

00:21:04.059 --> 00:21:07.440
to Stephen Colbertin? For his sake, I hope not.

00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:09.920
Who admired the classical Greek tradition and

00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:11.839
wanted to promote international peace through

00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:14.940
sport, which is very noble. I don't know if that

00:21:14.940 --> 00:21:20.960
has carried on in the 200 plus years, 130 years

00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:25.059
since, but you know, it is still, it's a noble

00:21:25.059 --> 00:21:28.839
aspiration to reach for. Sure. They came back

00:21:28.839 --> 00:21:34.720
to the motherland in 1896, back to Athens, Greece.

00:21:35.350 --> 00:21:38.650
14 nations competed and there were 43 events

00:21:38.650 --> 00:21:41.109
and then since then they just started slowly

00:21:41.109 --> 00:21:44.029
building and building with both winter, summer

00:21:44.029 --> 00:21:47.450
and winter Olympics. I don't know, I didn't write

00:21:47.450 --> 00:21:50.309
down when the winter Olympics first started.

00:21:50.390 --> 00:21:52.529
I didn't have that one either. But somewhere

00:21:52.529 --> 00:21:55.490
in there in the last 130 years, they decided,

00:21:55.670 --> 00:21:58.289
hey, let's see how we can go down a hill. Was

00:21:58.289 --> 00:22:02.750
there no hill -related sports in the 1900s? I

00:22:02.750 --> 00:22:05.839
mean, we had air ballooning. There wasn't one

00:22:05.839 --> 00:22:07.599
that was like, what if we could go down instead

00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:10.559
of up? Not from my notes. Competitive barrel

00:22:10.559 --> 00:22:12.400
rolling wasn't a thing. It should have been.

00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:15.160
That would be wild. It should have been. Some

00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:17.839
of the stuff they did come up with, I don't know.

00:22:19.079 --> 00:22:23.779
In 1908, there was, it was called motorboating.

00:22:24.119 --> 00:22:27.460
Yes. What was the Olympic sport of motorboating?

00:22:27.660 --> 00:22:31.099
It was how long you can go. I phrased it the

00:22:31.099 --> 00:22:35.480
way that I did to try to keep us on top. I mean,

00:22:35.619 --> 00:22:39.119
it was motorized boat racing as fast as a boat

00:22:39.119 --> 00:22:42.220
in 1908 could go. So I'm sure it was a slow going

00:22:42.220 --> 00:22:44.779
venture. Yeah. But people were not impressed.

00:22:45.220 --> 00:22:47.819
They were upset about the fact that this has

00:22:47.819 --> 00:22:51.200
absolutely nothing to do with the human body.

00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:55.160
So it only lasted that one Olympics in 1908.

00:22:55.539 --> 00:22:58.289
Disappointing. Is that also why we lost the hot

00:22:58.289 --> 00:23:00.170
air balloon? Because I think that would be cool

00:23:00.170 --> 00:23:02.869
to keep in the Olympics in present day, especially

00:23:02.869 --> 00:23:05.450
now that hot air balloons are not anybody's means

00:23:05.450 --> 00:23:07.650
of travel. I don't know that they were ever anybody's

00:23:07.650 --> 00:23:09.509
means of travel, since you're kind of at the

00:23:09.509 --> 00:23:12.289
mercy of the wind. I would think that they're

00:23:12.289 --> 00:23:16.549
more of a novelty. Well, yeah, but... I don't

00:23:16.549 --> 00:23:20.190
think that Phileas Fogg was... I think the fact

00:23:20.190 --> 00:23:22.410
that he tried to travel the world in 80 days,

00:23:22.509 --> 00:23:25.690
go around the world in 80 days, I think that

00:23:25.690 --> 00:23:28.890
was a novelty thing. It wasn't like a practical

00:23:28.890 --> 00:23:32.930
means of traversing the globe. Right, but lifting

00:23:32.930 --> 00:23:36.630
600 pounds is not necessarily practical. I don't

00:23:36.630 --> 00:23:38.269
imagine you do it all the time in your everyday

00:23:38.269 --> 00:23:41.509
life, but it's cool to be able to showcase on

00:23:41.509 --> 00:23:44.190
a world stage. We should bring back hot air ballooning.

00:23:44.450 --> 00:23:47.950
Would it be a height thing? Would it be a distance

00:23:47.950 --> 00:23:52.150
traveled? So it was height, duration, and technique,

00:23:52.150 --> 00:23:54.849
I believe. whenever it was actually in the Olympics.

00:23:55.049 --> 00:23:57.230
It didn't last very long, but there was also

00:23:57.230 --> 00:24:00.269
kite flying, and I don't really know what humans

00:24:00.269 --> 00:24:05.390
can control about kites. Have you seen kite fighting?

00:24:06.049 --> 00:24:08.410
No. Kite fighting is cool. I mean, okay, maybe

00:24:08.410 --> 00:24:10.369
cool is not the word. That is an incredibly nerdy

00:24:10.369 --> 00:24:14.309
thing to say. It is an interesting thing to watch.

00:24:14.690 --> 00:24:19.230
I like going out and getting my kite on, let

00:24:19.230 --> 00:24:21.730
all the string out. Where does one watch kite

00:24:21.730 --> 00:24:24.130
fighting? I've seen it places. I'm sure it's

00:24:24.130 --> 00:24:25.890
YouTube. I feel like that's a thing that you

00:24:25.890 --> 00:24:28.410
kind of have to see like in person for it to

00:24:28.410 --> 00:24:31.470
be impacted. Let's see what YouTube has to offer.

00:24:31.730 --> 00:24:38.470
Kite fighting Afghanistan was the second search.

00:24:38.630 --> 00:24:40.930
Kite fighting so dangerous and deadly Brazil

00:24:40.930 --> 00:24:44.430
considers national ban. Are we talking rope?

00:24:44.559 --> 00:24:49.200
There is a five and a half minute op -ed documentary

00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:52.640
on kite fighting from the New York Times if you're

00:24:52.640 --> 00:24:54.960
interested. Welcome to the exciting world of

00:24:54.960 --> 00:24:59.140
kite fighting and kite flying. So it's a thing.

00:24:59.619 --> 00:25:02.079
Okay. Don't get me wrong. I have not done a single

00:25:02.079 --> 00:25:05.200
bit of research into why kite fighting is dangerous.

00:25:05.220 --> 00:25:08.119
But in my head, it's the same reason that like

00:25:08.119 --> 00:25:12.299
in the 2010s people would get avocado hand. where

00:25:12.299 --> 00:25:14.240
they would, like, try to cut into the pit and

00:25:14.240 --> 00:25:16.480
would go too far and cut themselves. Because

00:25:16.480 --> 00:25:19.220
what injury do you get while fighting with kites

00:25:19.220 --> 00:25:22.220
besides, like, string burn? Friction -burned

00:25:22.220 --> 00:25:25.660
fingies. But, like, do you not wear gloves? Can

00:25:25.660 --> 00:25:29.319
you not protect yourself? Strangulation? Is there

00:25:29.319 --> 00:25:31.880
not regulation to...? You just say stringulation.

00:25:32.779 --> 00:25:35.299
I said strangulation, but stringulation is much

00:25:35.299 --> 00:25:38.420
better. you get a wild wind coming in all of

00:25:38.420 --> 00:25:40.140
a sudden it's whipping you around next thing

00:25:40.140 --> 00:25:43.200
you know your final destination destinationing

00:25:43.200 --> 00:25:45.539
it and the coroner has to put cause of death

00:25:45.539 --> 00:25:49.180
kite string in that case i would want my cause

00:25:49.180 --> 00:25:52.440
of death to be marked down as strangulation you

00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:54.960
flew too close to the sun metaphorically and

00:25:54.960 --> 00:25:58.720
literally oh my god electrical injuries are something

00:25:58.720 --> 00:26:01.319
you run into with kite fighting i had not considered

00:26:01.319 --> 00:26:04.559
that you might bin franklin yourself Did we not

00:26:04.559 --> 00:26:08.359
learn anything from Ben Franklin? Fascinating.

00:26:08.759 --> 00:26:11.640
What? Kite fighting. I'm telling you, man. Maybe

00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:13.660
you should talk about bringing that to the Olympics.

00:26:13.740 --> 00:26:16.079
I support it. Since breakdancing got the boot.

00:26:16.339 --> 00:26:17.980
You got to fill that void somewhere. How did

00:26:17.980 --> 00:26:20.599
we only make it one year? How did Ragon ruin

00:26:20.599 --> 00:26:24.420
it for everybody? Well, besides all the shadiness

00:26:24.420 --> 00:26:29.680
of how she actually got to the Olympics and everything

00:26:29.680 --> 00:26:33.789
involved in that, the fact that It looked very

00:26:33.789 --> 00:26:39.670
dumb. And the fact that she or the scoring was

00:26:39.670 --> 00:26:43.910
completely nebulous and meant absolutely nothing,

00:26:43.910 --> 00:26:47.150
I think is is how it only lasted one year. The

00:26:47.150 --> 00:26:49.609
scoring for anything is going to be kind of nebulous.

00:26:49.630 --> 00:26:53.150
Aside from your posture and things, if you were

00:26:53.150 --> 00:26:55.609
doing like an Olympic dive or gymnastics or anything

00:26:55.609 --> 00:26:57.950
like if you if you miss your footing, you get

00:26:57.950 --> 00:27:00.390
docked, obviously. Other than that, like it's

00:27:00.390 --> 00:27:02.960
it's pretty subjective, I think. And when it

00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:06.240
comes to breakdancing, if you try to take breakdancing

00:27:06.240 --> 00:27:09.640
seriously, it's going to look silly. It just

00:27:09.640 --> 00:27:13.900
is. It is not meant to be a... It's not the waltz.

00:27:13.900 --> 00:27:16.980
There's not like a right way to do it. It's expressive.

00:27:17.519 --> 00:27:21.640
There definitely should have been points for

00:27:21.640 --> 00:27:23.839
cardboard throwing down. That's where you start.

00:27:24.160 --> 00:27:25.960
It's a necessity. You walk up, you throw down

00:27:25.960 --> 00:27:28.980
your cardboard, you get graded on that. And then...

00:27:29.240 --> 00:27:32.480
She's out here like a Beyblade, just kangaroo

00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:35.619
hopping. Oh, if you haven't seen it or you haven't

00:27:35.619 --> 00:27:37.480
seen it in a while, do yourself a favor, look

00:27:37.480 --> 00:27:44.279
up Raegun at the 2024 Paris Olympics if you need

00:27:44.279 --> 00:27:46.519
a little chuckle. Genuinely cannot believe that

00:27:46.519 --> 00:27:50.519
was one year ago. Do not feel bad for laughing

00:27:50.519 --> 00:27:54.579
at her because she spent every waking moment

00:27:54.579 --> 00:27:58.420
since then being a completely miserable person.

00:27:58.559 --> 00:28:02.619
and suing people for defamation for anyone that

00:28:02.619 --> 00:28:05.680
talked about her awful, god -awful performance.

00:28:05.900 --> 00:28:08.619
I both understand why she did the kangaroo hop

00:28:08.619 --> 00:28:12.019
because, you know, she's Australian, but you

00:28:12.019 --> 00:28:15.200
kangaroo hopped on international television.

00:28:15.359 --> 00:28:18.819
You have to expect that somebody is going to

00:28:18.819 --> 00:28:21.599
mock you. And then trying to turn it into this

00:28:21.599 --> 00:28:27.039
philosophical thing and just stop. Just if she...

00:28:27.519 --> 00:28:32.019
if she had a sense of humor about it and did

00:28:32.019 --> 00:28:35.279
not try to make it more than what it was, then

00:28:35.279 --> 00:28:37.779
it would be fine. And people would be like, hey,

00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:41.779
it's Reagan. It's the break dancer at the Olympics.

00:28:42.099 --> 00:28:44.299
But she chose not to take that road. And the

00:28:44.299 --> 00:28:47.180
fact that she did a doctorate dissertation on

00:28:47.180 --> 00:28:49.579
break dancing and its impact on urban communities

00:28:49.579 --> 00:28:56.299
is just so wild and so dumb, so dumb. is the

00:28:56.299 --> 00:28:59.119
modern day equivalent of the Streisand effect.

00:28:59.440 --> 00:29:02.339
We would have forgotten about it. We mostly did

00:29:02.339 --> 00:29:04.940
forget about it. But if you bring up the word

00:29:04.940 --> 00:29:08.099
Reagan, everyone, forever, is going to think

00:29:08.099 --> 00:29:12.140
of the silliness that was breakdancing at the

00:29:12.140 --> 00:29:16.579
2024 Olympics. Yeah. Ridiculous. Silliness. All

00:29:16.579 --> 00:29:19.900
right. What are your favorite less popular events

00:29:19.900 --> 00:29:24.690
at the Olympics? The... I don't... watch a ton

00:29:24.690 --> 00:29:30.869
of the less popular ones. I did watch fencing

00:29:30.869 --> 00:29:33.670
last year. Fencing was interesting. I really

00:29:33.670 --> 00:29:35.630
have no idea what the rules of fencing are. And

00:29:35.630 --> 00:29:39.529
I think that's why I enjoy it. There's like specifics.

00:29:40.329 --> 00:29:44.230
Yeah. Like whether you choose wood post or metal

00:29:44.230 --> 00:29:48.369
post, whether it's chain link or privacy slatted,

00:29:48.690 --> 00:29:52.529
or I think also the amount of backyard that you're

00:29:52.529 --> 00:29:55.529
covering. I think that also comes into play.

00:29:57.529 --> 00:30:02.430
I can't have shit on this podcast. There was

00:30:02.430 --> 00:30:06.150
a sport. I don't think it's like whitewater rafting.

00:30:06.349 --> 00:30:08.490
And that was the most enjoyable thing I watched

00:30:08.490 --> 00:30:13.049
last year by a mile. That, my friend, is canoe

00:30:13.049 --> 00:30:16.410
slalom. Canoe slalom. That was so fun to watch.

00:30:16.569 --> 00:30:19.190
And it's just these people doing an agility course

00:30:19.190 --> 00:30:23.630
in water with a canoe. or it's not even it's

00:30:23.630 --> 00:30:26.549
a kayak, but they're like fully like one with

00:30:26.549 --> 00:30:31.450
the kayak because you can't risk being in rapids

00:30:31.450 --> 00:30:34.400
and your like boat getting tipped over. and filling

00:30:34.400 --> 00:30:36.880
with water. So you are literally like vacuum

00:30:36.880 --> 00:30:40.000
sealed. Suction cupped in. You're suction cupped

00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:43.720
in to the canoe. And it is so fun to watch because

00:30:43.720 --> 00:30:46.359
you'll see these people like capsize and then

00:30:46.359 --> 00:30:49.180
just like bob back up. And then you got to go

00:30:49.180 --> 00:30:51.299
through gates. I mean, it's just like the winter

00:30:51.299 --> 00:30:56.839
slalom. It's so fun. Actually, I had something

00:30:56.839 --> 00:31:01.480
about this one. I thought I did. But as the gold.

00:31:03.259 --> 00:31:06.720
I'm pretty sure the United States has taken the

00:31:06.720 --> 00:31:11.339
most gold in the canoe slalom. There was a time

00:31:11.339 --> 00:31:15.740
earlier in its Olympic history where there was

00:31:15.740 --> 00:31:20.140
C1 and C2. B1 is one person, C2 is two people.

00:31:21.079 --> 00:31:25.380
There was an Olympic or two, it might just been

00:31:25.380 --> 00:31:29.240
one, that two twins from the U .S. won it together.

00:31:29.519 --> 00:31:32.839
two brothers won the and then the ladies were

00:31:32.839 --> 00:31:37.180
like oh this isn't fair oh and then so they took

00:31:37.180 --> 00:31:39.660
away the c2 and just made a men's and women's

00:31:39.660 --> 00:31:45.200
division oh yeah but the they were what's it

00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:48.039
called when they're it was coed you know tandem

00:31:48.039 --> 00:31:50.500
intramural what's the difference between coed

00:31:50.500 --> 00:31:52.859
and intramural is there a difference is it just

00:31:52.859 --> 00:31:55.059
intramural when it's in reference to a sport

00:31:55.059 --> 00:31:58.119
i always thought intramural i thought intramural

00:31:58.119 --> 00:32:01.180
just meant like not professional. It was co -ed.

00:32:01.220 --> 00:32:03.319
We'll just go with co -ed. Sure. It was co -ed

00:32:03.319 --> 00:32:06.299
until the ladies got all, got their speedos in

00:32:06.299 --> 00:32:09.799
a bunch. And I'm like, hey, no, we need men's

00:32:09.799 --> 00:32:13.279
and women's. But yeah, two American twins won

00:32:13.279 --> 00:32:17.299
the C2 canoe slalom, slalom, slalom. That's what

00:32:17.299 --> 00:32:19.200
we were going to say. Was it the Winklevoss twins?

00:32:19.500 --> 00:32:22.539
It was not, no. They're rowing. Yeah. Which is

00:32:22.539 --> 00:32:27.019
the, the croquet of water sports, rowing. So

00:32:27.019 --> 00:32:30.319
you say that you watch the more mainstream ones.

00:32:30.460 --> 00:32:34.559
I do. So you watch the relays? I watch a bit

00:32:34.559 --> 00:32:36.599
of the running one, a little bit of the swimming

00:32:36.599 --> 00:32:39.099
one, like the swimming events, the running events.

00:32:39.940 --> 00:32:42.539
And obviously my favorites are the gymnastics.

00:32:42.920 --> 00:32:48.140
Yeah. Do you partake in any race walking? I do

00:32:48.140 --> 00:32:51.859
not. Do you know what race walking is? Is race

00:32:51.859 --> 00:32:55.039
walking that fine line between like... Running

00:32:55.039 --> 00:32:56.700
and walking where you kind of just look like

00:32:56.700 --> 00:33:00.460
you have to poop. Yes Yes, you are you are racing

00:33:00.460 --> 00:33:05.039
as carefully to the bathroom as you can Get that

00:33:05.039 --> 00:33:07.160
the Hank Hill, but the whole time the actual

00:33:07.160 --> 00:33:11.240
rules are You have to keep one foot in contact

00:33:11.240 --> 00:33:14.440
with the ground and maintain a straightened leg

00:33:14.440 --> 00:33:18.180
at all times Which is where you get that weird?

00:33:18.519 --> 00:33:21.619
clinching walk and it just seems like that just

00:33:21.619 --> 00:33:23.890
seems like Chase City Absolutely. Yeah, that

00:33:23.890 --> 00:33:27.210
sounds awful. Why is this a sport? Could not

00:33:27.210 --> 00:33:30.289
tell you, but it is one that has stood the test

00:33:30.289 --> 00:33:33.089
of time. It's one that has hung around. How long

00:33:33.089 --> 00:33:35.470
has it been in the Olympics? Yes, that is a great

00:33:35.470 --> 00:33:39.710
question. It kind of reminds me of those videos

00:33:39.710 --> 00:33:42.990
of people that are like running a 5k or whatever

00:33:42.990 --> 00:33:45.309
backwards and then they like reverse the video.

00:33:45.349 --> 00:33:46.750
So it looks like they're running forwards, but

00:33:46.750 --> 00:33:49.529
it just looks really wrong. Common distances.

00:33:50.460 --> 00:33:56.839
range from holy moly 1 .9 miles to 62 .1 miles

00:33:56.839 --> 00:34:00.000
you can is it is that an ultramarathon I don't

00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:02.099
know how long an ultra or no, that's 30 miles

00:34:02.099 --> 00:34:05.980
right 60 miles two marathons. No an ultramarathon

00:34:05.980 --> 00:34:09.659
is one and a half 30 miles Like one and a half.

00:34:09.719 --> 00:34:12.380
Yeah Or actually no, I guess that's not one and

00:34:12.380 --> 00:34:15.300
a half. I don't know. I was looking into the

00:34:15.300 --> 00:34:17.980
the Taco Bell ultramarathon a couple weeks ago

00:34:17.980 --> 00:34:20.059
in Denver which is the only reason that I know

00:34:20.059 --> 00:34:23.280
it's 30 miles, 31 point something, which is honestly

00:34:23.280 --> 00:34:25.920
the wildest concept I've ever heard. It first

00:34:25.920 --> 00:34:30.079
appeared in 1904 as a half mile walk in all around

00:34:30.079 --> 00:34:33.639
competition, became a standalone event in 1908

00:34:33.639 --> 00:34:39.219
with 1500 meters and 3000 meter races. In 2024,

00:34:40.059 --> 00:34:44.239
at the Paris Olympics, there were three race

00:34:44.239 --> 00:34:47.480
walking events, men's and women's 20 kilometer,

00:34:47.539 --> 00:34:51.820
which is 12 point four to seven miles and marathon

00:34:51.820 --> 00:34:56.860
mixed relay a new 26 .2 mile event with 25 teams

00:34:56.860 --> 00:35:01.119
of two alternating legs on just over 10 kilometers

00:35:01.119 --> 00:35:07.260
so I don't understand the physical aspects of

00:35:07.260 --> 00:35:09.280
race walking I know you just explained it but

00:35:09.280 --> 00:35:11.820
like I can't wrap my brain around like you not

00:35:11.820 --> 00:35:13.719
being able to like bend your legs you having

00:35:13.719 --> 00:35:16.380
to have one foot on the ground at all times.

00:35:16.559 --> 00:35:19.639
I mean, when you know the rules, then those motions

00:35:19.639 --> 00:35:22.320
and the method they do it actually makes sense.

00:35:22.619 --> 00:35:27.019
But it also seems like you are putting a lot

00:35:27.019 --> 00:35:31.739
of strain on like your calves and your hamstrings,

00:35:32.019 --> 00:35:34.199
tensing them up to make sure that they stay straight

00:35:34.199 --> 00:35:36.559
that entire time. I mean, as far as the ones

00:35:36.559 --> 00:35:39.199
that I have on this list, I think that race walking

00:35:39.199 --> 00:35:41.559
is despite the fact that it looks completely

00:35:41.559 --> 00:35:45.539
silly. It looks so silly, but so fun. is actually

00:35:45.539 --> 00:35:48.880
like one of the ones that like is actually something

00:35:48.880 --> 00:35:51.219
and something worth having in the Olympics. They

00:35:51.219 --> 00:35:54.519
look so wobbly. I'm watching a video of people

00:35:54.519 --> 00:35:58.780
doing the little shuffle shuffle. What about

00:35:58.780 --> 00:36:01.099
the pentathlon? You mess with the pentathlon?

00:36:01.500 --> 00:36:04.079
What are the five pieces of a pentathlon? So

00:36:04.079 --> 00:36:10.039
I would be interested in what the genesis of

00:36:10.039 --> 00:36:14.300
the like the decathlon and the pentathlon and

00:36:14.300 --> 00:36:17.480
and all these things because I Like originally

00:36:17.480 --> 00:36:19.519
I think that it was like a test of endurance

00:36:19.519 --> 00:36:22.599
and like stuff that you would be Stuff that was

00:36:22.599 --> 00:36:26.320
like involved in a war like especially in like

00:36:26.320 --> 00:36:29.280
ancient Greece war where you're it's a lot of

00:36:29.280 --> 00:36:31.559
running It's a lot of jumping. It's a lot of

00:36:31.559 --> 00:36:34.079
spear chucking and all that kind of stuff But

00:36:34.079 --> 00:36:36.559
I couldn't I can't think of a single scenario

00:36:36.559 --> 00:36:41.250
in which a person would need to fence, swim,

00:36:41.829 --> 00:36:44.650
be involved in equestrian jumping, pistol shooting,

00:36:45.030 --> 00:36:48.289
and cross -country running in the same time frame.

00:36:48.590 --> 00:36:53.429
So I just googled the pentathlon and I feel like

00:36:53.429 --> 00:36:55.769
it's also important to note that it's not just

00:36:55.769 --> 00:36:58.769
equestrians. You're doing it with an unfamiliar

00:36:58.769 --> 00:37:01.510
horse. I don't know why they added that in, but

00:37:01.510 --> 00:37:03.489
you don't get to know your horse ahead of time.

00:37:03.550 --> 00:37:06.050
Do you have to bond with it first? I hope so.

00:37:06.269 --> 00:37:09.610
You have to bring it carrots? Bow to it. You

00:37:09.610 --> 00:37:12.510
have to have you have to keep sugar cubes in

00:37:12.510 --> 00:37:14.929
a little watertight container while you're swimming.

00:37:16.130 --> 00:37:19.010
The running and shooting part is also a laser

00:37:19.010 --> 00:37:22.289
pistol. Awesome. You get to play laser tag as

00:37:22.289 --> 00:37:25.130
your fourth event in this pentathlon. It's not

00:37:25.130 --> 00:37:29.090
an actual actual gun. I think that I am going

00:37:29.090 --> 00:37:32.670
to tune in more to next times this next Olympics.

00:37:32.920 --> 00:37:35.079
This sounds a lot more fun than I was given the

00:37:35.079 --> 00:37:37.780
Olympics credit for. I mean, I guess now that

00:37:37.780 --> 00:37:41.119
I'm looking at all of it, it is very soldier

00:37:41.119 --> 00:37:44.699
based. So I guess it does make sense. Maybe it's

00:37:44.699 --> 00:37:47.639
not as silly as I thought, but just grouping

00:37:47.639 --> 00:37:50.079
all these things together in the same event just

00:37:50.079 --> 00:37:53.880
seems weird. So maybe race walking and modern

00:37:53.880 --> 00:37:56.300
pentathlon will get a pass and should not be

00:37:56.300 --> 00:37:58.380
on this list, but they're still fun to talk about.

00:37:58.599 --> 00:38:02.849
They are indeed. I don't understand how all of

00:38:02.849 --> 00:38:06.289
these things would go hand in hand. Like I can

00:38:06.289 --> 00:38:09.250
understand maybe like, no, I don't understand

00:38:09.250 --> 00:38:11.190
how any of these play into each other. In what

00:38:11.190 --> 00:38:14.809
situation am I going to have to swim a distance,

00:38:15.250 --> 00:38:19.510
steal somebody's horse, and then get off that

00:38:19.510 --> 00:38:24.429
unfamiliar horse and do a sprint and laser gun

00:38:24.429 --> 00:38:28.239
shooting display? Is this... Space Red Dead Redemption.

00:38:28.480 --> 00:38:30.699
You forgot the sword fighting. I forgot sword

00:38:30.699 --> 00:38:32.659
fighting. Would you do that on the way to steal?

00:38:32.800 --> 00:38:34.980
Is that how you would steal the horse? Well,

00:38:35.099 --> 00:38:37.539
no, because you have to swim in between sword

00:38:37.539 --> 00:38:40.400
fighting and the unfamiliar horse. So you have,

00:38:40.480 --> 00:38:42.619
there's a break of water. All right, hear me

00:38:42.619 --> 00:38:44.639
out. Between you and that horse. Hear me out.

00:38:45.099 --> 00:38:50.039
Sextafalon. That's just the prefix. What is the

00:38:50.039 --> 00:38:56.159
sixth event? Horse bonding. And you have to go

00:38:56.159 --> 00:38:58.400
in there like an avatar. You have to connect

00:38:58.400 --> 00:39:02.280
your ponytail to their tail. There's a scene

00:39:02.280 --> 00:39:05.360
in Family Guy where Joe is talking about being

00:39:05.360 --> 00:39:08.719
a horse whisperer, and this horse is just bucking

00:39:08.719 --> 00:39:11.639
and unruly, and he goes, shh. That's right. I

00:39:11.639 --> 00:39:14.179
calmed you, you stupid horse. That is all I can

00:39:14.179 --> 00:39:16.880
picture for what that event would look like.

00:39:17.099 --> 00:39:20.139
I'd be down. Just tweak it a little bit. Sextafalon,

00:39:20.400 --> 00:39:23.110
horse bonding, fencing, swimming. horse bonding,

00:39:23.389 --> 00:39:25.269
equestrian jumping, pistol shooting, cross country

00:39:25.269 --> 00:39:28.469
running. How do you competitively horse bond?

00:39:28.690 --> 00:39:30.929
You hop on its back and it doesn't throw you

00:39:30.929 --> 00:39:36.150
into the next county. I have an alternative to

00:39:36.150 --> 00:39:40.090
pitch for the show jumping section. Instead of

00:39:40.090 --> 00:39:43.030
an unfamiliar horse, I would argue we should

00:39:43.030 --> 00:39:46.789
use unfamiliar hobby horses. Hobby horsing is

00:39:46.789 --> 00:39:50.820
just The most fun looking event that I've ever

00:39:50.820 --> 00:39:53.739
seen. I don't think I could participate because

00:39:53.739 --> 00:39:56.400
I just don't think I could participate. I don't

00:39:56.400 --> 00:39:58.619
want to learn to make my knees work like that

00:39:58.619 --> 00:40:01.840
more than anything. Being able to jump like a

00:40:01.840 --> 00:40:05.179
horse is both a feat, it is an accomplishment

00:40:05.179 --> 00:40:07.679
and also the silliest thing I've ever seen. Better

00:40:07.679 --> 00:40:10.820
or worse than race walking? Same word in a different

00:40:10.820 --> 00:40:13.820
font. If any of our listeners are not familiar

00:40:13.820 --> 00:40:16.760
with hobby horsing, I am. genuinely begging you

00:40:16.760 --> 00:40:20.699
to look it up. It is so fun. There are competitions

00:40:20.699 --> 00:40:22.699
every year in Finland, and it has been pitched

00:40:22.699 --> 00:40:26.219
to the Olympics several times. Fingers crossed

00:40:26.219 --> 00:40:28.900
for 2028. I will tune into all of the Olympics

00:40:28.900 --> 00:40:31.719
if they also include hobby horsing. Well, best

00:40:31.719 --> 00:40:33.940
of luck. But tell me that it wouldn't be the

00:40:33.940 --> 00:40:36.460
most fun thing you've ever watched if for show

00:40:36.460 --> 00:40:38.900
jumping, you have to jump on the back of a hobby

00:40:38.900 --> 00:40:43.070
horse. You're just piggybacking a lady from Finland.

00:40:43.210 --> 00:40:46.650
Hold on. So you don't hop on the hobby horse

00:40:46.650 --> 00:40:49.769
-er. You become the hobby horse -er. No. I think

00:40:49.769 --> 00:40:53.050
instead of an unfamiliar horse, you have an unfamiliar

00:40:53.050 --> 00:40:55.409
person who does hobby horsing. It's a two -in

00:40:55.409 --> 00:40:59.230
-one. So you're piggybacking. Yes. Interesting.

00:40:59.730 --> 00:41:01.869
But they still have to be able to do the jump

00:41:01.869 --> 00:41:04.849
thing. Interesting. Which, for reference, looks

00:41:04.849 --> 00:41:09.590
like Timmy from MadTV. Look what I can do. Stuart,

00:41:09.789 --> 00:41:15.829
not Timmy. Stuart. Stuart. I knew nothing. Let's

00:41:15.829 --> 00:41:20.010
go home Stuart. I've had whitest kids you know

00:41:20.010 --> 00:41:22.610
on the brain. We've been talking about Timmy

00:41:22.610 --> 00:41:24.809
a good amount in the last week. Oh yeah? It's

00:41:24.809 --> 00:41:27.289
good. I catch a lot of it on TikTok now and YouTube.

00:41:27.550 --> 00:41:28.849
There's a, I don't know if we've already talked

00:41:28.849 --> 00:41:31.949
about this, but there's a 24 hour loop on YouTube

00:41:31.949 --> 00:41:34.110
of whitest kids you know. Emily, not so much

00:41:34.110 --> 00:41:37.800
a fan. It's just very silly. Not everything is

00:41:37.800 --> 00:41:39.920
for everyone. That's all right. We don't yuck

00:41:39.920 --> 00:41:42.619
people's yums. We don't. Hey, a future episode

00:41:42.619 --> 00:41:46.440
alert? All right. So race walking, modern pentathlon,

00:41:46.980 --> 00:41:50.760
those are... I have softened my heart to them.

00:41:52.119 --> 00:41:55.179
Something you will not soften my heart to is

00:41:55.179 --> 00:41:57.820
trampoline gymnastics. The steward of Olympic

00:41:57.820 --> 00:42:02.800
activities. At first blush, it does sound pretty

00:42:02.800 --> 00:42:08.289
sweet. In... practice, it is very dumb. It's

00:42:08.289 --> 00:42:11.650
literally, uh, it was introduced in 2000. It's

00:42:11.650 --> 00:42:15.070
literally just, uh, flipping on trampolines.

00:42:15.650 --> 00:42:18.170
It's, uh, something you can go see every weekend

00:42:18.170 --> 00:42:21.050
at your local trampoline park. Same thing, but

00:42:21.050 --> 00:42:24.650
these adults have quote unquote trained for it.

00:42:24.710 --> 00:42:27.650
And, uh, yeah, just not for me, dog. I'm terrified

00:42:27.650 --> 00:42:29.730
of trampoline parks. I don't like the germiness

00:42:29.730 --> 00:42:32.610
of them. They are. incredibly unsanitary in the

00:42:32.610 --> 00:42:34.449
way that like a Chuck E. Cheese ball pit would

00:42:34.449 --> 00:42:38.429
be and also incredibly dangerous. Yes. One wrong

00:42:38.429 --> 00:42:42.050
land and your ACL is toast. Well, not just that,

00:42:42.090 --> 00:42:47.230
but like I always have like just like this. I

00:42:47.230 --> 00:42:49.190
don't think it's an irrational fear, but someone

00:42:49.190 --> 00:42:52.389
just jumping down one of the springs gives way

00:42:52.389 --> 00:42:56.250
and you've got a flying projectile that is traveling

00:42:56.250 --> 00:42:59.309
at like 100 feet per second right into someone's

00:42:59.309 --> 00:43:01.710
noggin. What do you think the insurance premiums

00:43:01.710 --> 00:43:04.030
are on these types of places? And they make you

00:43:04.030 --> 00:43:08.230
sign a BS waiver. But you can't sue if you are

00:43:08.230 --> 00:43:10.989
double -balanced and... No, you can sue. You

00:43:10.989 --> 00:43:13.449
can sue. There's always ways to sue. We went

00:43:13.449 --> 00:43:19.309
to an event, a school event thing, and got in

00:43:19.309 --> 00:43:25.510
for free. And the two older ones and the woman

00:43:25.510 --> 00:43:29.000
was like, and do... Do we need some adult socks

00:43:29.000 --> 00:43:31.920
for you? I'm saying no. No, I'm good. I'm just

00:43:31.920 --> 00:43:34.380
spectating. Okay, and you filled out the the

00:43:34.380 --> 00:43:37.079
waivers I said, yeah, and I filled out the the

00:43:37.079 --> 00:43:40.619
BS waivers Okay. Oh, I only have two on here.

00:43:40.639 --> 00:43:42.840
We need one for everyone I already told you that

00:43:42.840 --> 00:43:45.760
I'm not not participating and neither is the

00:43:45.760 --> 00:43:48.239
other adult with me know your body that's how

00:43:48.239 --> 00:43:50.480
they get you even a free night's not a free night

00:43:50.480 --> 00:43:55.400
and They're like, no Everyone that comes in has

00:43:55.400 --> 00:43:58.570
to have a waiver Why? Because you just said it.

00:43:58.590 --> 00:44:00.510
What if one of the springs comes loose and is

00:44:00.510 --> 00:44:05.530
a projectile? I guess so. Yeah. It's not, it's

00:44:05.530 --> 00:44:07.530
not discriminant against the people who are not

00:44:07.530 --> 00:44:10.989
on the trampoline. That is, yeah. I guess now

00:44:10.989 --> 00:44:12.829
that you say it out loud, that does make sense.

00:44:13.130 --> 00:44:16.409
And that, yeah, that, yeah. So filled out this

00:44:16.409 --> 00:44:18.969
phony baloney waiver and then kids did their

00:44:18.969 --> 00:44:22.349
thing. Actually this, this wasn't a, this wasn't

00:44:22.349 --> 00:44:26.909
a trampoline park. It was a slide. place that

00:44:26.909 --> 00:44:29.570
exists now. You go pick up a mat and then you

00:44:29.570 --> 00:44:31.530
go to the top of the slide. You slide down the

00:44:31.530 --> 00:44:35.769
slide and then you do it over again. And you

00:44:35.769 --> 00:44:39.750
could not pay me enough money to put my body

00:44:39.750 --> 00:44:43.210
on one of those gross mats. So I was just pretty

00:44:43.210 --> 00:44:46.750
skeeved out the whole time. Yeah. There is a

00:44:46.750 --> 00:44:51.750
person at my complex who has been like trying

00:44:51.750 --> 00:44:55.349
to push the leasing office to buy yoga mats for

00:44:55.349 --> 00:44:59.349
our like little gym thing. And I can't imagine

00:44:59.349 --> 00:45:01.889
wanting to ever share a yoga mat with another

00:45:01.889 --> 00:45:04.909
person. There's no amount of sanitizing. It's

00:45:04.909 --> 00:45:08.670
like 10 bucks. Buy one. Why do you want to share

00:45:08.670 --> 00:45:11.429
a yoga mat with strangers? Maybe it's their thing.

00:45:11.630 --> 00:45:16.849
I can't shame them. Watch me. I am absolutely

00:45:16.849 --> 00:45:20.250
yucking this person's young. Ew. That is gross.

00:45:20.440 --> 00:45:23.219
that is gross but trampoline gymnastics have

00:45:23.219 --> 00:45:25.739
you ever heard the term artistic swimming you

00:45:25.739 --> 00:45:27.539
know i can't do regular swimming but i might

00:45:27.539 --> 00:45:29.420
be able to do the artistic kind i'm at least

00:45:29.420 --> 00:45:32.280
half there's there's no what can you tread water

00:45:32.280 --> 00:45:36.420
half able to do that yeah i won't die if i'm

00:45:36.420 --> 00:45:38.679
dropped in water can you though i'm just not

00:45:38.679 --> 00:45:41.460
good at it yes can you tread water can you keep

00:45:41.460 --> 00:45:45.559
your head up not well but technically yeah so

00:45:45.559 --> 00:45:48.400
it would be a deathly struggle just for you to

00:45:48.400 --> 00:45:50.659
keep air in your lungs but you think that you

00:45:50.659 --> 00:45:54.239
can couple that with doing a synchronized dance

00:45:54.239 --> 00:45:57.760
with people around you unless you synchronize

00:45:57.760 --> 00:46:01.300
the flails because uh spoiler alert this is what

00:46:01.300 --> 00:46:03.880
was formerly known as synchronized swimming oh

00:46:03.880 --> 00:46:07.440
when did they change it i don't know i just want

00:46:07.440 --> 00:46:09.739
to make it more bougie i guess i don't know artistic

00:46:09.739 --> 00:46:13.869
swimming FKA synchronized swimming, a blend of

00:46:13.869 --> 00:46:16.289
dance, gymnastics, and swimming, but usually

00:46:16.289 --> 00:46:18.730
only seen during the games. So this is a thing

00:46:18.730 --> 00:46:22.269
that only happens for the Olympics. I mean, I'm

00:46:22.269 --> 00:46:24.369
sure they have like qualifiers and stuff, but

00:46:24.369 --> 00:46:26.989
you never see just like synchronized swimming

00:46:26.989 --> 00:46:29.849
regionals. I mean, I think you're maybe just

00:46:29.849 --> 00:46:31.809
not in the right circles for that. I mean, I

00:46:31.809 --> 00:46:34.010
can flip through the channel. I can see regionals

00:46:34.010 --> 00:46:36.969
for water polo. I can see regionals for diving,

00:46:37.309 --> 00:46:40.010
swimming, but never synchronized swimming. Sure.

00:46:40.050 --> 00:46:42.199
Yeah. I still think you're maybe on just like

00:46:42.199 --> 00:46:44.159
the wrong part of the internet in that situation.

00:46:44.380 --> 00:46:46.619
You don't seem like the type that your algorithm

00:46:46.619 --> 00:46:48.820
would need to feed you artistic swimming. Maybe,

00:46:49.400 --> 00:46:53.099
maybe. If I do see it, it's AI generated. Which

00:46:53.099 --> 00:46:56.739
speaking of two things I wanted to get to before

00:46:56.739 --> 00:47:01.440
we get into the no longer obscure, no longer

00:47:01.440 --> 00:47:05.619
Olympic events that are 1000 % obscure and don't

00:47:05.619 --> 00:47:08.940
know how they got in the first place. So on my

00:47:08.940 --> 00:47:13.880
TikTok feed, I have been seeing a lot of AI generated

00:47:13.880 --> 00:47:19.699
content based around the Olympics. And one of

00:47:19.699 --> 00:47:22.400
them, a couple of them have gotten a chuckle

00:47:22.400 --> 00:47:27.920
out of me. And I just want your input on whether

00:47:27.920 --> 00:47:30.019
you think that it should be petitioned to be

00:47:30.019 --> 00:47:33.280
put into the Olympics. The first one, Olympic

00:47:33.280 --> 00:47:37.400
dish washing. Yay or nay? What? I should preface

00:47:37.400 --> 00:47:43.519
this with it. It is a female only sport and that

00:47:43.519 --> 00:47:45.480
is all the information I have about it. Yay or

00:47:45.480 --> 00:47:47.960
nay? Could it be sponsored by Dawn? I'm gonna

00:47:47.960 --> 00:47:50.920
go ahead and say nay until they also involve

00:47:50.920 --> 00:47:53.659
men in competitive dish washing. Equality, man.

00:47:54.000 --> 00:47:56.219
I'm a great dishwasher. I'm a professional dishwasher.

00:47:56.360 --> 00:47:58.380
I was paid to wash dishes. I still wash dishes.

00:47:58.820 --> 00:48:01.840
I'm no longer... I'm retired. I'm no longer professional.

00:48:02.059 --> 00:48:05.440
back in the amateur circuit. But as far as this

00:48:05.440 --> 00:48:07.380
TikTok is concerned, it's a female only sport.

00:48:07.619 --> 00:48:10.519
How many of these hypothetical AI sports are

00:48:10.519 --> 00:48:13.519
sexisms? I mean, depends on what your definition

00:48:13.519 --> 00:48:17.079
of sexism is. Only involves one sex. Oh, okay.

00:48:17.360 --> 00:48:20.679
Okay. Well, the second one, sandwich making.

00:48:20.980 --> 00:48:24.119
This one does involve both sexes. The man is

00:48:24.119 --> 00:48:26.780
just in a recliner for sandwich grading purposes.

00:48:27.400 --> 00:48:30.659
Still building a sandwich? No. Is he still building

00:48:30.659 --> 00:48:32.679
the sandwich in the refiner? No. Then he's not

00:48:32.679 --> 00:48:34.800
competing. He's the judge. He's the judge. It's

00:48:34.800 --> 00:48:36.699
a co -ed competition. What do you mean it's a

00:48:36.699 --> 00:48:39.059
co -ed competition? What is the man competing

00:48:39.059 --> 00:48:42.659
in? In judging of sandwich making abilities.

00:48:42.980 --> 00:48:44.860
I guess. I don't know. Is someone judging him

00:48:44.860 --> 00:48:47.900
on his judgment? Yes. Yeah? It's an absolutely

00:48:47.900 --> 00:48:51.400
incorrect thing to only include women on the

00:48:51.400 --> 00:48:53.920
making of sandwiches because everyone knows that

00:48:53.920 --> 00:48:56.079
Shaggy would be the best sandwich maker there's

00:48:56.079 --> 00:48:58.389
ever been. If we're going with artificially generated

00:48:58.389 --> 00:49:01.710
stuff anyway, then Shaggy would be the best sandwich

00:49:01.710 --> 00:49:03.170
maker. Okay, but he would never take credit for

00:49:03.170 --> 00:49:05.110
the sandwich that he made. He'd say, hey, did

00:49:05.110 --> 00:49:07.809
you make this? You know damn well that I mean

00:49:07.809 --> 00:49:12.030
the other one. He would say it wasn't me. Would

00:49:12.030 --> 00:49:14.050
he have to make it butt naked on the bathroom

00:49:14.050 --> 00:49:17.170
floor? It's one of the original Greek Olympic

00:49:17.170 --> 00:49:20.469
sports sandwich building. Anyway. Would you have

00:49:20.469 --> 00:49:22.849
to wear a hairnet? Anyways, third one. Third

00:49:22.849 --> 00:49:28.219
one was ironing. I don't know what... Chinese

00:49:28.219 --> 00:49:30.880
patriarchal jackass is working my algorithm,

00:49:31.300 --> 00:49:36.300
but those are the three Olympic events that have

00:49:36.300 --> 00:49:41.539
popped up on my FYP. Extreme ironing is an actual

00:49:41.539 --> 00:49:43.960
sport. It is a sport? Not an Olympic one, but

00:49:43.960 --> 00:49:46.659
it is a sport. Is starch involved? Extreme ironing

00:49:46.659 --> 00:49:48.739
is a sport where people iron clothes in challenging

00:49:48.739 --> 00:49:50.780
and remote locations like on top of a mountain

00:49:50.780 --> 00:49:54.699
halfway down a cliff or underwater. Is it coed

00:49:54.699 --> 00:49:57.280
though? You know, oh my god according to the

00:49:57.280 --> 00:50:01.260
extreme ironing bureau apparently Extreme ironing

00:50:01.260 --> 00:50:04.420
is quote the latest dangerous sport that combines

00:50:04.420 --> 00:50:06.860
the thrills of an extreme outdoor activity with

00:50:06.860 --> 00:50:08.980
the Satisfaction of a well -pressed shirt. Do

00:50:08.980 --> 00:50:10.940
you get an ironing board? Do you have to lug

00:50:10.940 --> 00:50:13.559
an ironing board up the mountain? Huh? Okay,

00:50:13.619 --> 00:50:16.079
is it coed our men and women graded the same?

00:50:16.840 --> 00:50:20.519
I Don't know ungee ironing. Okay, that's just

00:50:20.519 --> 00:50:24.789
silly. That's horrifying and And sounds very

00:50:24.789 --> 00:50:27.969
dangerous. Is this is this real? There's a very

00:50:27.969 --> 00:50:31.070
long Wikipedia article about this and I don't

00:50:31.070 --> 00:50:33.750
I'm gonna have to fact -check it because I am

00:50:33.750 --> 00:50:36.030
Baffled by this concept. All right, you get back

00:50:36.030 --> 00:50:38.289
to us on that. It seems like it's a real thing

00:50:38.289 --> 00:50:42.590
before we depart From artistic swimming. Did

00:50:42.590 --> 00:50:47.769
you know that from 1984 to 1992? There was a

00:50:47.769 --> 00:50:51.409
solo synchronized swimming portion of the olympics

00:50:51.409 --> 00:50:55.230
i did it is where athletes performed elaborate

00:50:55.230 --> 00:50:57.289
routines judged on how well they matched the

00:50:57.289 --> 00:50:59.989
music you were synchronized it was synchronized

00:50:59.989 --> 00:51:02.849
swimming but just with yourself to yourself they

00:51:02.849 --> 00:51:06.170
performed to movie scores from phantom of the

00:51:06.170 --> 00:51:09.869
opera and star wars amongst many others and i

00:51:09.869 --> 00:51:14.269
i'm very curious now to find a video of someone

00:51:14.269 --> 00:51:17.710
swimming in sync to the imperial march well that

00:51:17.710 --> 00:51:21.579
looked like like a underwater lightsaber fight

00:51:21.579 --> 00:51:24.500
with yourself? Yes, I think so. Do you get to

00:51:24.500 --> 00:51:26.860
bring props? That would be very cool. I would

00:51:26.860 --> 00:51:30.659
hope so. You're watching from the nosebleeds

00:51:30.659 --> 00:51:32.579
and you just see the little like green thing

00:51:32.579 --> 00:51:37.260
wobble back and forth. Alright, ready for the

00:51:37.260 --> 00:51:41.559
discontinued obscure Olympic sports? Let's go.

00:51:42.019 --> 00:51:48.150
From 1900 to 1920, the tug -of -war which I think,

00:51:48.289 --> 00:51:50.929
I mean, it could be exciting. You put a pit in

00:51:50.929 --> 00:51:53.090
the middle, everyone falls in. To recreate squid

00:51:53.090 --> 00:51:56.369
games? With less death, yeah. Still some, probably.

00:51:56.570 --> 00:52:00.289
Probably. I looked into the background on Olympic

00:52:00.289 --> 00:52:03.190
tug of war and apparently they got, it got nixed

00:52:03.190 --> 00:52:06.590
because Americans were upset that British police

00:52:06.590 --> 00:52:08.769
officers were the ones that were doing their

00:52:08.769 --> 00:52:11.710
country's version of the tug of war. They thought

00:52:11.710 --> 00:52:14.070
that it wasn't fair. Why is it not fair? because

00:52:14.070 --> 00:52:16.889
I think we were maybe not sending our A team

00:52:16.889 --> 00:52:22.269
in the states and the police officers because

00:52:22.269 --> 00:52:25.269
there wasn't really like regulation on attire

00:52:25.269 --> 00:52:28.010
necessarily were in like rubber boots so they

00:52:28.010 --> 00:52:29.969
had a lot more traction than the Americans did

00:52:29.969 --> 00:52:33.369
and so instead of just like also having the same

00:52:33.369 --> 00:52:35.690
kind of shoes that would give you an advantage

00:52:35.690 --> 00:52:38.090
in the games they just cried foul play and then

00:52:38.090 --> 00:52:40.059
they just banned it from the competition. It

00:52:40.059 --> 00:52:42.199
was also a little bit hard to regulate because

00:52:42.199 --> 00:52:44.920
it required so many people on each team. It was,

00:52:44.920 --> 00:52:47.659
it was hard to... With the amount of obesity

00:52:47.659 --> 00:52:49.920
we have in the United States, do you think we

00:52:49.920 --> 00:52:53.900
would just be a shoe in now? No, because we don't,

00:52:54.059 --> 00:52:57.239
it would require, I mean, it would require probably

00:52:57.239 --> 00:53:00.559
a couple of anchors, people that would just like

00:53:00.559 --> 00:53:03.059
add stability to the team. But if it's a whole

00:53:03.059 --> 00:53:05.900
team of anchors. There's not technically a reason

00:53:05.900 --> 00:53:08.960
I guess that wouldn't work. And then You get

00:53:08.960 --> 00:53:12.239
one actual tugger, and then once the other team

00:53:12.239 --> 00:53:15.940
is just so exhausted from trying to pull these

00:53:15.940 --> 00:53:18.579
whales from the other side, then all the tugger

00:53:18.579 --> 00:53:21.079
has to do is just, well, then boom, you win.

00:53:21.360 --> 00:53:23.679
It's a very, uh, Dredrick Tatum fights Homer

00:53:23.679 --> 00:53:28.519
Simpson way of winning the Olympics. Oh, what

00:53:28.519 --> 00:53:31.940
about live pigeon shooting? I am against that

00:53:31.940 --> 00:53:35.099
for animal rights reasons. I assume that a great

00:53:35.099 --> 00:53:37.719
deal of pigeons were killed in that. Birds don't

00:53:37.719 --> 00:53:40.039
feel pain. So, just like fish. I mean, birds

00:53:40.039 --> 00:53:41.840
aren't real. They're just government drones.

00:53:42.300 --> 00:53:44.360
But, be that as it may, I still think it's unfair.

00:53:44.559 --> 00:53:46.639
So, for live pigeon shooting, this only occurred

00:53:46.639 --> 00:53:49.599
one year. As it should. 1900 in Paris. Literally

00:53:49.599 --> 00:53:51.440
shot live pigeons that were released into the

00:53:51.440 --> 00:53:54.659
air. It was the first and last time live animals

00:53:54.659 --> 00:53:59.980
were used as targets. Over 300 pigeons were killed.

00:54:00.260 --> 00:54:02.519
Is skeet shooting a part of the Olympics? Like

00:54:02.519 --> 00:54:07.929
clay pigeons? Yes. Yes. It sure is. Uh, it was

00:54:07.929 --> 00:54:11.710
replaced by clay pigeons in later games. Uh,

00:54:12.190 --> 00:54:14.550
the winner, if you could call him that, I'd call

00:54:14.550 --> 00:54:16.570
him a big old loser for what he did to all those

00:54:16.570 --> 00:54:22.269
pigeons, was Leon de Lunden from Belgium killed

00:54:22.269 --> 00:54:27.389
21 birds. 21? 21. I don't, I would assume this

00:54:27.389 --> 00:54:29.929
was with a shotgun. I would assume so. Yeah.

00:54:29.929 --> 00:54:33.269
I don't know if it, I didn't get any word on

00:54:33.269 --> 00:54:35.150
whether it was pistols, shotguns. I would assume

00:54:35.150 --> 00:54:40.420
it was shotguns. But, yeah, 21 was the gold -winning

00:54:40.420 --> 00:54:44.380
total. And then, like you said, I had solo synchronized

00:54:44.380 --> 00:54:52.840
swimming, 1984, 1992. 1984, USA, USA, in Los

00:54:52.840 --> 00:54:58.739
Angeles. Tracy Ruiz, 1988, in Seoul, South Korea.

00:54:59.280 --> 00:55:03.079
Erlen Waldo of Canada. And then in 1992, its

00:55:03.079 --> 00:55:07.880
final year in Barcelona. Kristen Bab Sprague

00:55:07.880 --> 00:55:11.800
of USA, United States of America, baby. Two of

00:55:11.800 --> 00:55:15.000
the three. And after 1992, the solo version was

00:55:15.000 --> 00:55:18.280
dropped, leaving only duets and teams. Oh, I

00:55:18.280 --> 00:55:21.280
had some more notes for Tug of War. Teams of

00:55:21.280 --> 00:55:23.480
eight pulled a rope until the other was dragged

00:55:23.480 --> 00:55:25.500
six feet. Oh, and then I got the note about the

00:55:25.500 --> 00:55:30.420
boots too. 1900. Gold went to Sweden and Denmark.

00:55:30.780 --> 00:55:34.989
They were a combined team that year. 1904. United

00:55:34.989 --> 00:55:38.889
States, 1908, Great Britain with the police officers,

00:55:39.730 --> 00:55:46.449
1912, Sweden solo this time, and 1920 in Antwerp,

00:55:46.550 --> 00:55:50.130
Great Britain again. And then that was the last

00:55:50.130 --> 00:55:54.070
year. I thought that there weren't medals in

00:55:54.070 --> 00:55:58.130
the first Olympics. From what I understood, they

00:55:58.130 --> 00:56:01.070
just gave out like trinkets essentially if you

00:56:01.070 --> 00:56:02.929
won, because they were still trying to figure

00:56:02.929 --> 00:56:07.590
out like how to actually perform the games. And

00:56:07.590 --> 00:56:13.070
so I think people were given prizes instead of

00:56:13.070 --> 00:56:15.789
just medals. I might be wrong, but I feel like

00:56:15.789 --> 00:56:17.550
I remember that from my research. Many winners

00:56:17.550 --> 00:56:19.809
received cups or trophies instead of medals.

00:56:20.090 --> 00:56:22.750
The International Olympic Committee later determined

00:56:22.750 --> 00:56:25.610
that many of the 23 events were not officially

00:56:25.610 --> 00:56:28.409
considered Olympic status events. This was 1900.

00:56:28.789 --> 00:56:32.010
The total of 68 medals awarded were 23 gold,

00:56:32.010 --> 00:56:35.889
23... silver and 22 bronze for the 23 events

00:56:35.889 --> 00:56:38.590
the IOC recognizes today. So there were actual

00:56:38.590 --> 00:56:40.989
medals. There were actual medals, yeah. You ever

00:56:40.989 --> 00:56:44.750
heard of obstacle swimming? I wouldn't blame

00:56:44.750 --> 00:56:47.389
you if you hadn't. No, that sounds awful. It

00:56:47.389 --> 00:56:49.750
was a one -off, 1800. They were just getting

00:56:49.750 --> 00:56:51.469
their feet under them, so they were just throwing

00:56:51.469 --> 00:56:53.469
everything at the wall, see what stuck. What

00:56:53.469 --> 00:56:57.610
in your mind would obstacle swimming be in a

00:56:57.610 --> 00:57:01.010
competitive They just threw a bunch of nonsense

00:57:01.010 --> 00:57:02.969
in the water and were like swim from here to

00:57:02.969 --> 00:57:05.210
here. Swimmers had to climb over poles and boats

00:57:05.210 --> 00:57:07.389
in the water before finishing their race. You

00:57:07.389 --> 00:57:10.489
remember the big stink at the last Paris Olympics

00:57:10.489 --> 00:57:14.789
about swimmers swimming in the... In the Seine?

00:57:15.090 --> 00:57:17.469
Seine. Yeah. And how it was just a poop river?

00:57:18.030 --> 00:57:21.750
They pooped in it. They took... Oh, just people

00:57:21.750 --> 00:57:24.650
were just dropping trowel as a protest. French

00:57:24.650 --> 00:57:27.420
protesters really just on another level. French

00:57:27.420 --> 00:57:31.500
are just the worst at everything. Yeah, this

00:57:31.500 --> 00:57:36.900
was like the 1900s version of American Ninja

00:57:36.900 --> 00:57:40.800
Warrior. Okay. But in water. Yeah, traversing

00:57:40.800 --> 00:57:43.579
over poles, anything they could find to just

00:57:43.579 --> 00:57:45.840
throw in the water to put in between you and

00:57:45.840 --> 00:57:48.139
the finish line. Okay. Throw some sharks in there

00:57:48.139 --> 00:57:52.179
for good measure? Yeah, maybe. Why not? Oh, you

00:57:52.179 --> 00:57:55.719
didn't always have to climb over. You could also

00:57:55.719 --> 00:57:58.610
swim under. Fn that's what you wanted to do,

00:57:58.610 --> 00:58:02.510
but I don't think that I would want to You never

00:58:02.510 --> 00:58:05.329
swim under a boat. I mean, I don't know if they

00:58:05.329 --> 00:58:06.690
were motorized boats. Maybe in 1900 it would

00:58:06.690 --> 00:58:11.170
be less scary. Yeah, I don't know The taker of

00:58:11.170 --> 00:58:14.590
gold was Frederick Lane from down under Australia

00:58:14.590 --> 00:58:19.190
the Gold Coast and I did not get the distance,

00:58:19.190 --> 00:58:22.690
but he accomplished it in two minutes and 38

00:58:22.690 --> 00:58:26.480
seconds 200 meter two and a half minutes and

00:58:26.480 --> 00:58:28.659
eight seconds yes impressive let me get that

00:58:28.659 --> 00:58:33.139
in freedom units real quick 0 .124 miles so let's

00:58:33.139 --> 00:58:35.539
bring that down a little bit to feet an eighth

00:58:35.539 --> 00:58:38.820
of a mile feet let's bring that up a smidge to

00:58:38.820 --> 00:58:44.760
yards 218 .723 yards this is some olympic level

00:58:44.760 --> 00:58:48.320
math you're doing right now now let's uh let's

00:58:48.320 --> 00:58:51.340
really get it down here uh seven thousand eight

00:58:51.340 --> 00:58:55.300
hundred and seventy four inches How many centimeters?

00:58:56.420 --> 00:58:59.619
200 meters in centimeters? Yeah. It's 2 ,000

00:58:59.619 --> 00:59:02.840
centimeters. I can do that one. 20 ,000? That

00:59:02.840 --> 00:59:06.320
one's easy. No. Yeah, 2 ,000. No, 20 ,000. 20

00:59:06.320 --> 00:59:11.340
,000. Two zeros. Come on. Yeah. Okay. You done?

00:59:11.619 --> 00:59:14.260
You done? Can I continue now? Are you done converting

00:59:14.260 --> 00:59:21.320
the same number 15 times? So you went to a freaky

00:59:21.320 --> 00:59:25.329
deaky school. that decided to concern themselves

00:59:25.329 --> 00:59:28.630
more with academics than athletic prowess. Is

00:59:28.630 --> 00:59:30.829
that fair to say? It's fair to say, yes. It was

00:59:30.829 --> 00:59:34.309
also, is it fair to say, in a converted grocery

00:59:34.309 --> 00:59:37.170
store? For a brief window, yes. For a couple

00:59:37.170 --> 00:59:39.809
of years of my school, I did go to a converted

00:59:39.809 --> 00:59:42.190
grocery store. Formerly a Piggly Wiggly, if we're

00:59:42.190 --> 00:59:47.090
being real semantic -y. The first ever grocery

00:59:47.090 --> 00:59:49.050
store. Did you know that? Piggly Wiggly? First

00:59:49.050 --> 00:59:51.210
ever supermarket, yeah, in the world. Wait, no.

00:59:51.280 --> 00:59:53.340
It wasn't a Piggly Wiggly. It was a Winn -Dixie.

00:59:53.420 --> 00:59:55.659
I was wrong. Your fun fact is null and void.

00:59:56.039 --> 00:59:59.039
Are you sure? Sorry. I think you're wrong. Oh,

00:59:59.179 --> 01:00:00.780
no, no, no. I'm not saying that the first ever

01:00:00.780 --> 01:00:02.780
grocery store wasn't a Piggly Wiggly. I'm saying

01:00:02.780 --> 01:00:04.679
that the one that I went to school in wasn't

01:00:04.679 --> 01:00:07.019
a Piggly Wiggly. It was a Winn -Dixie. Okay.

01:00:07.500 --> 01:00:10.780
Okay. Yes. The first ever supermarket was Piggly

01:00:10.780 --> 01:00:13.719
Wiggly in Memphis, Tennessee. Opened on 9 -11.

01:00:15.460 --> 01:00:19.239
So while you were in a Winn -Dixie, a converted

01:00:19.239 --> 01:00:22.289
Winn -Dixie or whenever they gave you a proper

01:00:22.289 --> 01:00:24.329
building. Did you ever have to do a rope climb?

01:00:24.750 --> 01:00:29.309
No? Not once? Well, rope climbing was an event

01:00:29.309 --> 01:00:34.789
from 1896 to 1932. You had to climb a vertical

01:00:34.789 --> 01:00:37.250
rope. You were judged on speed, but then you

01:00:37.250 --> 01:00:41.630
were also judged on form. The rope was anywhere

01:00:41.630 --> 01:00:47.769
from 18 to 15 meters. And in 1986, the inaugural

01:00:47.769 --> 01:00:53.599
modern Olympics in Athens gold went to Nikos

01:00:53.599 --> 01:01:02.820
Something Greek and Andrea Coppola's Nikos Andrea

01:01:02.820 --> 01:01:09.699
Coppola's 1904 and st. Louis Greg are not not

01:01:09.699 --> 01:01:14.739
Greg George I sir From United States take on

01:01:14.739 --> 01:01:18.750
the gold and he was a gymnast with a wooden leg.

01:01:19.530 --> 01:01:21.070
Do you think that would help or hurt? I think

01:01:21.070 --> 01:01:23.449
it's kind of an advantage for weight. You don't

01:01:23.449 --> 01:01:25.809
have to pull as much up and you've already probably

01:01:25.809 --> 01:01:28.349
gotten more reliant on your... Your upper body

01:01:28.349 --> 01:01:31.050
strength. Yeah? Yeah. I wonder why the British

01:01:31.050 --> 01:01:35.949
didn't cry foul. 1924 in Paris. Bedrik Supsic

01:01:35.949 --> 01:01:42.409
from Czechoslovakia and 1932 Raymond Bass from...

01:01:42.480 --> 01:01:45.800
the United States of America. Yeah. Not much

01:01:45.800 --> 01:01:47.659
to say about that. I mean, it's just, it's literally

01:01:47.659 --> 01:01:50.760
just rope climbing. So, what about jude palm?

01:01:51.119 --> 01:01:53.139
Do you know what jude palm is? I'm trying to

01:01:53.139 --> 01:01:55.079
make a guess, but I don't know what any of those

01:01:55.079 --> 01:01:57.880
individual things mean in English. What if I

01:01:57.880 --> 01:02:01.519
said jude palm? Would that help you any? Handball?

01:02:01.800 --> 01:02:06.079
Close, close. This was 1900. It was a one -off.

01:02:06.940 --> 01:02:09.599
It's indoor tennis, but your hand is the racket.

01:02:09.920 --> 01:02:11.989
Isn't that... Just isn't that what handball is?

01:02:12.269 --> 01:02:15.849
I guess, I don't know. Maybe. Squash meets handball

01:02:15.849 --> 01:02:18.130
is how it's described. Okay. I don't know what

01:02:18.130 --> 01:02:21.110
squash is. You know what squash is? If this is

01:02:21.110 --> 01:02:23.210
a safe space. If you talk about the vegetable,

01:02:23.369 --> 01:02:25.789
I swear to God I will end this call right now.

01:02:27.690 --> 01:02:30.130
Oh, man. No, I do not know what the sports squash

01:02:30.130 --> 01:02:33.909
is. It is. So have you ever been to a gym that

01:02:33.909 --> 01:02:38.050
has these big, they look like quarter basketball

01:02:38.050 --> 01:02:41.369
courts? It's like a basketball court, but it

01:02:41.369 --> 01:02:43.670
has one wall is glass, and then the other one

01:02:43.670 --> 01:02:48.489
is just like a concrete wall. One person stands

01:02:48.489 --> 01:02:51.650
on the front part of the court, the other person

01:02:51.650 --> 01:02:55.090
stands in the back, and the front slams the ball

01:02:55.090 --> 01:02:57.610
against the wall. The person in the back has

01:02:57.610 --> 01:02:59.050
to hit it, and then you go back and forth until

01:02:59.050 --> 01:03:02.150
someone misses it. It's loud. It takes a lot

01:03:02.150 --> 01:03:09.579
of space to do it in. more upper echelon gyms

01:03:09.579 --> 01:03:13.159
are gonna have it. It's like a, I don't know,

01:03:13.380 --> 01:03:16.260
same vein as like golf. Like it's like something

01:03:16.260 --> 01:03:19.199
that richer people do. Oh, gotcha. And that's

01:03:19.199 --> 01:03:22.820
squash. But yeah, 1900, the only time it was

01:03:22.820 --> 01:03:27.340
ever done. And it went to Jay Gould II of the

01:03:27.340 --> 01:03:29.480
United States. That name sounds like the kind

01:03:29.480 --> 01:03:32.179
of person who would win that sport. We are on,

01:03:32.500 --> 01:03:35.239
we did pretty well. The United States did pretty

01:03:35.239 --> 01:03:41.269
well for these discontinued Olympic events. We

01:03:41.269 --> 01:03:44.650
talked about motorboating, croquet, and we talked

01:03:44.650 --> 01:03:46.329
about that in the beginning. All events were

01:03:46.329 --> 01:03:47.949
swept by France because they were the only ones

01:03:47.949 --> 01:03:51.050
competing and one spectator. And then the last

01:03:51.050 --> 01:03:56.230
one I have is 1900 basque pilota. It's like,

01:03:57.170 --> 01:04:01.949
it was compared to, I guess the modern equivalent

01:04:01.949 --> 01:04:04.710
of it is like a high lie. You know what that

01:04:04.710 --> 01:04:10.099
is? No. with the big curved thingy. You catch

01:04:10.099 --> 01:04:12.420
the ball in it and then you like fling it out

01:04:12.420 --> 01:04:15.400
against the wall. And then the other person catches

01:04:15.400 --> 01:04:19.119
it flings it back. Yeah, that was 1900 Spanish

01:04:19.119 --> 01:04:22.860
game. Spain was the only country competing in

01:04:22.860 --> 01:04:26.800
it. And so by default, they took home the gold.

01:04:26.860 --> 01:04:31.800
I wonder how much of the OG Olympics was just

01:04:31.800 --> 01:04:33.980
a bunch of people from other countries Having

01:04:33.980 --> 01:04:36.400
to sit down and have the rules explained to them

01:04:36.400 --> 01:04:38.940
like a board game or like a card game that no

01:04:38.940 --> 01:04:42.260
one really understands It's a 30 -minute demonstration.

01:04:42.260 --> 01:04:45.119
You remember none of it You just have to to play

01:04:45.119 --> 01:04:47.719
and hope for the best, you know You know the

01:04:47.719 --> 01:04:50.980
sport from the early Olympics that I would absolutely

01:04:50.980 --> 01:04:55.659
love to compete in dueling pistols dueling pistols

01:04:55.659 --> 01:04:59.159
only lasted in two of the Olympics. I'm surprised

01:04:59.159 --> 01:05:02.280
it made past one. 1906 and 1908. The reason that

01:05:02.280 --> 01:05:05.199
it lasted was because no one was in danger. It

01:05:05.199 --> 01:05:07.980
was dueling pistols, but you were dueling with

01:05:07.980 --> 01:05:12.980
a dummy named Gregory. So it was... What? You

01:05:12.980 --> 01:05:16.559
fired wax bullets at mannequins dressed in frocks.

01:05:16.840 --> 01:05:19.900
It was essentially like, it was meant to show

01:05:19.900 --> 01:05:22.760
your form in the case that you were in a gentleman's

01:05:22.760 --> 01:05:25.480
duel, which I think is genuinely phenomenal.

01:05:25.769 --> 01:05:28.389
I would love to bring that back. But isn't part

01:05:28.389 --> 01:05:32.710
of the duel the concern that the other person

01:05:32.710 --> 01:05:34.849
will draw first and kill you? You would think.

01:05:35.030 --> 01:05:37.250
So doesn't that take out that entire element

01:05:37.250 --> 01:05:39.590
of it? Still think it's fun. I still think it

01:05:39.590 --> 01:05:42.909
would be a good sport to compete in. Yeah, I

01:05:42.909 --> 01:05:46.010
mean, I think that, yeah, that would be a fun

01:05:46.010 --> 01:05:49.610
one. If you don't have to worry about the part

01:05:49.610 --> 01:05:52.750
where you could be shot in the head or you could

01:05:52.750 --> 01:05:58.039
have a bullet. lodged in your side and Die of

01:05:58.039 --> 01:06:00.800
Where's Hamilton? What did he where did he get

01:06:00.800 --> 01:06:04.039
shot? I don't know abdomen I think so he ended

01:06:04.039 --> 01:06:06.119
up dying of like sepsis, right? It wasn't technically

01:06:06.119 --> 01:06:09.159
like from the wound I'm not sure cuz didn't he

01:06:09.159 --> 01:06:12.940
die on the boat ride back to New York from Weehawken.

01:06:12.940 --> 01:06:19.840
I don't know Your lack of knowledge I know situation

01:06:19.840 --> 01:06:23.039
is that part of Hamilton that he dies on like

01:06:23.039 --> 01:06:25.369
the boat ride home? I'm pretty sure. I don't

01:06:25.369 --> 01:06:27.909
remember as much of the back part of Hamilton

01:06:27.909 --> 01:06:31.630
as the beginning couple acts. I don't remember

01:06:31.630 --> 01:06:33.610
as much from Act 3. What's that last one called?

01:06:33.829 --> 01:06:36.110
Not the second to last one. It's not the ten

01:06:36.110 --> 01:06:37.969
dual commandments. The world was wide enough.

01:06:38.090 --> 01:06:40.489
Shot in the ribs. They row him back across the

01:06:40.489 --> 01:06:42.389
Hudson. Okay, so maybe he did die in New York.

01:06:43.309 --> 01:06:45.730
Angelica and Eliza were by his side when he died.

01:06:46.230 --> 01:06:49.630
According to Lin -Manuel Miranda's take on Hamilton's

01:06:49.630 --> 01:06:54.989
life. Yeah, when he got an awfully generous with

01:06:54.989 --> 01:06:58.289
the relationship that him and Angelica had was

01:06:58.289 --> 01:07:01.309
that overblown significantly I mean they they

01:07:01.309 --> 01:07:05.570
didn't have a really relationship at all I don't

01:07:05.570 --> 01:07:08.449
know a ton about actual Alexandra Hamilton just

01:07:08.449 --> 01:07:11.570
musical Hamilton but that's all I got for this

01:07:11.570 --> 01:07:14.329
one you anything else no that's all I got we

01:07:14.329 --> 01:07:17.380
covered all of my My fun nonsense sports, hot

01:07:17.380 --> 01:07:20.559
air ballooning and kite fly are still my favorite

01:07:20.559 --> 01:07:22.960
things that were contenders for Olympic medals

01:07:22.960 --> 01:07:26.780
at one point. All right. Well, you got any words

01:07:26.780 --> 01:07:28.820
of wisdom to leave everyone on? Man, I had a

01:07:28.820 --> 01:07:30.559
call to action from the beginning of this episode

01:07:30.559 --> 01:07:32.280
and I already don't remember what it was. No,

01:07:32.300 --> 01:07:35.199
I do not. I mean, I told everyone to go watch

01:07:35.199 --> 01:07:38.159
the break dancing if they're feeling down. I

01:07:38.159 --> 01:07:40.059
told them to watch hobby horsing. So that's your

01:07:40.059 --> 01:07:42.239
homework for the episode, folks. All right. And

01:07:42.239 --> 01:07:44.469
on that note, we'll see you. We're out. Peace

01:07:44.469 --> 01:07:45.110
out, Girl Scouts.
