WEBVTT
00:00:10.093 -->
00:00:11.295We are back in the booth.
00:00:11.295 -->
00:00:13.606I'm Sean Booth, and thank you guys for tuning in.
00:00:13.606 -->
00:00:22.390Wherever you're listening from, maybe you are in Winchester, missouri, springfield, massachusetts, or maybe you are in East Lansing, michigan.
00:00:22.390 -->
00:00:25.929That's the home of the Michigan State.
00:00:25.929 -->
00:00:27.803What's her name?
00:00:27.803 -->
00:00:28.263Sam Cat.
00:00:29.286 -->
00:00:30.268Spartans, spartans.
00:00:30.489 -->
00:00:31.251Yeah, there you go.
00:00:31.251 -->
00:00:36.771Good job, we are back and we've got a jam-packed house to my left, my direct left.
00:00:36.771 -->
00:00:37.984You probably can't see him.
00:00:37.984 -->
00:00:40.167Maybe you can see his feet right now, but he is eating.
00:00:40.167 -->
00:00:42.707We got Lox Booth in the building.
00:00:42.746 -->
00:00:43.209Loxy B.
00:00:48.759 -->
00:00:59.223And to his left, we got auntie cat in the building and we got our man, easton, behind the ones and twos and we're back in nashville, tennessee, experiencing a heat wave.
00:00:59.223 -->
00:01:04.751My goodness, it's gonna be, uh, a spicy hot podcast here.
00:01:04.751 -->
00:01:09.475I think we turn the AC off when we do these, correct, easton, no AC, yeah for the sound.
00:01:09.475 -->
00:01:23.099And so at my gym we were recording stuff the last couple days and I forgot to turn the AC back on and so people can't even they are like slipping on the rubber because it's so wet, and it's pretty hilarious.
00:01:23.099 -->
00:01:29.661It's like people are coming out out of locker rooms after they shower and it looks like they didn't use a towel because they're just drenching wet through all their clothes.
00:01:29.900 -->
00:01:36.221Yeah, I used to practice with no AC in the summer and I have absolutely no idea how I survived that.
00:01:36.221 -->
00:01:41.203I'm pretty sure that's illegal now, but it was the nineties, so it was a weird time, but I'm a big AC girl these days.
00:01:41.203 -->
00:01:41.945I'm ready for fall.
00:01:41.945 -->
00:01:43.007I'm ready for fall.
00:01:43.007 -->
00:01:45.713I know that it's August 1st but, baby, I'm ready for fall.
00:01:45.713 -->
00:01:50.171I need a crisp, 62 degree, sunny, windy.
00:01:50.171 -->
00:01:52.206Yeah, like I need it.
00:01:52.206 -->
00:01:56.790I need the NFL music playing in the back and just the smell of fall.
00:01:56.790 -->
00:01:57.230I'm ready.
00:01:57.591 -->
00:01:58.072I'm ready too.
00:01:58.739 -->
00:02:01.269I don't want to wish time away, but Officially ready Whenever?
00:02:09.099 -->
00:02:09.180Yeah.
00:02:09.180 -->
00:02:09.701Officially ready whatever?
00:02:09.701 -->
00:02:16.102Yeah, but the thing is is that you know we're going to be sweating until october around here, oh, and then it's still going to be fall, and then it'll be really nice, like the crispy 62 and then one random thursday it'll be like 94 again, correct, but we're uh, looking forward to that.
00:02:16.301 -->
00:02:44.973I just went on a run and I was actually thinking the same thing, because it's hard to control your heart rate when you're training and when you're running and practicing different zones and aerobic and anaerobic and you want to try and maintain a zone to a blue zone, sam cat, and you're going all the way up to the orange and the red, but your orange is your threshold, but you don't want to pass that because you want to work with that lactic acid yeah yeah, so I'm ready for the fall for running purposes same, definitely running purposes, only I'm a big runner um olympics.
00:02:45.253 -->
00:02:51.907I haven't watched a single second on my tv of the olympics.
00:02:51.907 -->
00:02:55.622I've seen some clips, I've seen some highlights, but I haven't watched at all.
00:02:55.622 -->
00:03:10.186And I saw one of the funniest videos I think I've ever seen of uh steven pommel horse guy oh, the pommel horse guy, the rep, the representative of all nerds across the country like clark kent style love, love it.
00:03:10.326 -->
00:03:11.207I mean good for him.
00:03:11.207 -->
00:03:13.252I love the memes, first of all.
00:03:13.252 -->
00:03:16.888I say this I feel like every podcast, but the internet remains undefeated.
00:03:16.888 -->
00:03:23.760There are so many creative people out there that are quicker and funnier than you and I will ever be, and I love that for them because I enjoy it.
00:03:23.760 -->
00:03:26.766But the memes for steven have been off the charts.
00:03:27.587 -->
00:03:30.941I sent you that video right, yeah, yeah, those girls in the background.
00:03:30.980 -->
00:03:34.127Yeah, yeah, and it's not like I don't know.
00:03:34.127 -->
00:03:36.614Listen, no one ever cares about gymnastics.
00:03:36.614 -->
00:03:47.272The Olympics is pretty much the only time that, collectively, as a whole, people are curious and really into it and watching and trying to learn about the sport, so this is like my favorite time of year.
00:03:47.272 -->
00:03:56.723I am the first to admit that I don't know nearly as much about men's gymnastics as I do women's, but I mean, how cool is it to be?
00:03:56.723 -->
00:04:04.572Steven won the first medal for the us men's team since 2008.
00:04:04.572 -->
00:04:18.149On his instagram story was a screenshota picture of him solving a rubik's cube in under 10 seconds yeah so you know, out here people are, they're doing their endorsements, they're talking about their sport, they're all this.
00:04:18.309 -->
00:04:21.848This kid's talking about a rubik's cube and I love that incredible.
00:04:21.947 -->
00:04:23.692I love it, and so his specialty.
00:04:23.692 -->
00:04:25.680Like that's the only thing he does right.
00:04:25.680 -->
00:04:29.949And the men only won the gold medal because of his performance.
00:04:29.949 -->
00:04:34.651That is correct, so they had him like sitting on the sidelines.
00:04:34.651 -->
00:04:41.815They just had like a clock, a countdown to when he was going right I do have to say that the broadcast definitely leaned into his career.
00:04:41.916 -->
00:04:49.245So it is very rare to make a team as a specialist because obviously there's so many gymnasts in the world and there's not a lot of opportunity to make an Olympic team.
00:04:49.245 -->
00:04:54.826And he is just so, so, so good at pommel horse, and I have to preface this with that.
00:04:54.826 -->
00:04:57.790Pommel horse is notoriously like make or break for people's careers.
00:04:57.790 -->
00:05:06.985You can be a successful male gymnast, but if you don't have pommel horse it has mentally and physically broken many of men.
00:05:06.985 -->
00:05:08.732So this kid obviously very much excels.
00:05:08.732 -->
00:05:17.103It is so much so that he was chosen as a specialist, which is just like unheard of to come and only compete the palmer horse for his team, like you said, it was really coming down to the wire.
00:05:17.103 -->
00:05:20.471They had not won a medal in, you know, since 2008.
00:05:20.471 -->
00:05:23.305So no pressure, steven um.
00:05:23.305 -->
00:05:26.130But the reason you're here is for this exact moment.
00:05:26.130 -->
00:05:35.127The kid sat there with his eyes closed, trying to stay in the zone, eventually woke up, took his glasses off, came up, dominated and they walked away with the bronze medal.
00:05:35.326 -->
00:05:38.300And so, oh, bronze, they didn't get gold.
00:05:38.341 -->
00:05:39.262No no, no, bronze, bronze.
00:05:39.262 -->
00:05:44.108So it was the first time they had medaled since 2008, which is great, but yeah, I mean a bronze.
00:05:44.108 -->
00:05:45.529A medal is a medal in my eyes.
00:05:45.529 -->
00:05:55.927I'm not there, but right so it was the first time, but it was so close that they were not going to be on the podium unless he hit exactly exactly what he did, and the pommel horse is so hard yeah, explain the pommel horse.
00:05:55.947 -->
00:05:57.879It's like the big bean that looks kind of like a horse.
00:05:57.899 -->
00:06:01.665You're riding a horse without sure, sure I mean it's like I have no idea what the dimensions are.
00:06:01.665 -->
00:06:04.829Like I said, I don't know much about men's gymnastics, but it's got like the two.
00:06:04.850 -->
00:06:06.333They don't do that in women's hell.
00:06:06.432 -->
00:06:14.083No, they just do the beam here's the thing men's gymnastics and women's gymnastics are completely different sports, like they just really are, it's not.
00:06:14.083 -->
00:06:16.732It would be like comparing basketball to baseball.
00:06:16.732 -->
00:06:19.802I know that that sounds insane, yeah, but locks agrees with me.
00:06:19.802 -->
00:06:20.603So obviously I'm correct.
00:06:20.603 -->
00:06:22.588Um, but it's.
00:06:22.588 -->
00:06:28.024You know, we share two events with the men, but even those two events are just drastically different.
00:06:28.024 -->
00:06:36.980I'd say the closest is vault, because it's obviously the same skill, but like, we also share floor, floor I was gonna say it's pretty similar no, I mean yes and no.
00:06:37.021 -->
00:06:40.012Yeah, you're tumbling, but like men don't have music, women do.
00:06:40.012 -->
00:06:45.581Men are doing back-to-back skills, a lot of strength based wait, why don't men have music for the floor?
00:06:45.581 -->
00:06:47.206Because who?
00:06:47.206 -->
00:06:52.459Whoever invented the sport, decided that that was not a qualification.
00:06:52.459 -->
00:06:54.023They've never had music.
00:06:54.023 -->
00:07:00.182The gymnasts that are women are more like artistic, so it's more dance, leaps, turns.
00:07:00.182 -->
00:07:02.706Dancing to music a lot more grace.
00:07:02.706 -->
00:07:10.630Men carry the strength in their upper body, women carry it in their lower body and there's more focus on flexibility and artistry for women.
00:07:10.711 -->
00:07:11.052Gotcha.
00:07:11.321 -->
00:07:16.367And there's more focus on like stillness, strength and just masculinity in the men's Right.
00:07:16.367 -->
00:07:18.286So they're very, very different sports.
00:07:18.286 -->
00:07:19.524We just have a little bit in common.
00:07:19.646 -->
00:07:20.862Okay With the men?
00:07:20.862 -->
00:07:23.209Is it always because I know the women?
00:07:28.959 -->
00:07:29.120isn't it?
00:07:29.120 -->
00:07:30.483Russia is always like the big team, and US I mean.
00:07:30.483 -->
00:07:31.425If you read the history books, yes, okay.
00:07:31.586 -->
00:07:32.327What about the men?
00:07:32.327 -->
00:07:32.848You don't know much.
00:07:32.889 -->
00:07:33.730I don't know much about the men.
00:07:33.730 -->
00:07:34.353I do have to say.
00:07:34.353 -->
00:07:43.103I mean, I know that China and Japan have been very dominant for them in the past couple of years, and Japan actually, I think, won the all-around.
00:07:43.103 -->
00:07:46.007I think China was second place and then United States was third.
00:07:46.247 -->
00:07:51.172So okay, so shout out to Steven that dude's going to be getting endorsement deals right now, I'd imagine.
00:07:51.252 -->
00:07:55.415I really hope so, because I just love someone who is unapologetically themselves.
00:07:55.415 -->
00:08:03.086I love that he obviously is fantastic at gymnastics and he didn't crack under the pressure and now he's, you know, a country mascot that we have.
00:08:03.086 -->
00:08:05.833Now Everybody knows, the Clark Kent guy, the pommel horse guy.
00:08:05.959 -->
00:08:08.629He's probably back in the science lab right now as we speak.
00:08:08.629 -->
00:08:12.108He's done with the Olympics and he's back to work and whatever he does, well, he still has event finals.
00:08:12.149 -->
00:08:12.629He's not done.
00:08:13.271 -->
00:08:13.673Okay.
00:08:13.959 -->
00:08:17.149Yeah, he's still got the pommel horse to compete later.
00:08:17.850 -->
00:08:18.252Singles.
00:08:18.879 -->
00:08:19.060Yeah.
00:08:19.060 -->
00:08:28.375So basically how gymnastics works this is both men and women is that there's a team competition, there's an all-around competition, and then individually you can qualify for each event as well.
00:08:28.375 -->
00:08:39.135So the week continues Like today is the women's all-around competition, but then after we'll still have vault, bars, beam and floor individual events as well.
00:08:39.155 -->
00:08:39.576Okay, all right.
00:08:39.576 -->
00:08:40.821So big Steven guys here.
00:08:40.821 -->
00:08:44.787He's also got a girlfriend of eight or 10 years, I believe he was talking about.
00:08:44.787 -->
00:08:45.388Good for him.
00:08:45.388 -->
00:08:47.630Yeah, yeah, gotta love it.
00:08:47.630 -->
00:08:52.764There's always a couple of people that emerge from the Olympics and become national heroes.
00:08:52.764 -->
00:08:56.472Steven is one, and I'd say the second one is the cap catcher.
00:08:57.340 -->
00:08:58.260I don't know who that is.
00:08:58.802 -->
00:08:59.923You don't know who the cap catcher is.
00:09:00.083 -->
00:09:02.246No, I thought you were going to say the women's rugby.
00:09:02.707 -->
00:09:03.589That girl too correct.
00:09:03.589 -->
00:09:04.890Yeah, yeah, yeah, she yep, all right.
00:09:05.652 -->
00:09:07.434Iona, I'm going to butcher it.
00:09:07.434 -->
00:09:12.667She literally just put out a video of how to say her name because everybody was butchering it, and here I am doing it again to her.
00:09:13.539 -->
00:09:19.061When she became popular because of TikTok, because that one video, when she's talking about a guy, talked to me and he told me to keep moving.
00:09:19.201 -->
00:09:23.725Yes, Also, she's hysterical on the internet, but also she's great at her craft.
00:09:23.725 -->
00:09:28.768The women's rugby team also won gold, and she was an enormous part of that.
00:09:28.868 -->
00:09:29.688I saw one play.
00:09:29.688 -->
00:09:37.374I was like holy shit, this girl jumped as high as she could, was falling back like Odell Beckham style caught the ball.
00:09:37.374 -->
00:09:41.557The other girl hangs on to her ankles and pulls her over her shoulder.
00:09:41.557 -->
00:09:42.278I mean it was crazy.
00:09:42.278 -->
00:09:45.366She's definitely one girl that's blown up.
00:09:45.366 -->
00:09:45.750I keep seeing her.
00:09:45.750 -->
00:09:46.173But the cap catcher.
00:09:46.193 -->
00:09:46.879Yeah, I don't know who this is.
00:09:46.940 -->
00:10:06.527This guy literally sits on the sidelines during all the swim races and if anybody loses their cap in the water, he comes out and he like takes his clothes off and he's wearing like a rainbow Speedo and he's like this out of shape, looks like 40, 50 year old guy and his job is to jump in the water and to retrieve the cap.
00:10:06.527 -->
00:10:07.467And then he comes out.
00:10:07.467 -->
00:10:18.761So you got, all the people in the stands are like cheering him on and he just dives in with his little speedo, grabs a cap at the bottom of the pool and gets out and everybody goes crazy every time he goes in.
00:10:18.961 -->
00:10:19.282Oh, my God.
00:10:19.282 -->
00:10:20.263Okay, I'm going to have to look out.
00:10:20.263 -->
00:10:22.645I do have to admit that I haven't watched much swimming.
00:10:22.645 -->
00:10:25.749I've watched it in the primetime coverage, but not necessarily live.
00:10:25.749 -->
00:10:27.510So I'm going to be on the lookout for that tonight when I watch.
00:10:27.750 -->
00:10:31.115Yeah, and he won't tell his name because he doesn't want to take away the attention from the swimmers.
00:10:31.254 -->
00:10:41.008I mean, I get that, because I also just feel like but also, I'm like dude, you're wearing a rainbow speedo and you don't want to take the attention away from the swimmers like that at events.
00:10:41.008 -->
00:10:41.629It's just now.
00:10:41.629 -->
00:10:42.510You know he's at the Olympics.
00:10:42.510 -->
00:10:43.793He's got a lot more eyes on him.
00:10:48.500 -->
00:10:49.822Yeah, I don't know, I don't know, but I haven't seen any of it.
00:10:49.842 -->
00:10:50.965I saw the women gymnastics they got gold.
00:10:50.985 -->
00:10:51.326They did get gold.
00:10:51.326 -->
00:10:51.726Yeah, good for them.
00:10:51.826 -->
00:10:52.067It was.
00:10:52.067 -->
00:10:53.029It's so good.
00:10:53.029 -->
00:10:57.985I mean, listen, I could talk about gymnastics every day, all day, for the rest of my life.
00:10:57.985 -->
00:11:00.168I feel like I love the sport.
00:11:00.168 -->
00:11:02.091I love that everybody's paying attention to it.
00:11:02.091 -->
00:11:04.014I love obviously winning.
00:11:04.014 -->
00:11:21.916Gold is my favorite, but that win for the US women's team I feel like has so many layers that even the media hasn't covered that it's just a really good thing for the girls, for the sport, for our country.
00:11:27.080 -->
00:11:28.942If you've paid attention to gymnastics over the last five to ten years.
00:11:28.942 -->
00:12:04.221Obviously there's been horrendous scandal that has surrounded the sports and the girls have referred to it as the redemption tour and they've listed a bunch of things in the media, like obviously Simone had a horrendous mental block in the Tokyo Olympics, sunni has been battling a kidney disease, Like there's just been a lot of things they've talked about, but what they haven't talked about, I think, is a lot of like the unspoken that this win did for the sport of gymnastics and the fact that it has proven that in a healthy, safe environment you can also fucking dominate yeah and it's something that everybody needed to see here in witness.
00:12:04.780 -->
00:12:46.115I think that there's so much more importance that will, after the Olympics, become more apparent to the public for those of us that never once had an opportunity to compete in the Olympics I'm not putting myself in the same category as them but for those of us that dedicated our lives to this sport, for then it to get very much blown up in the public eye and now to kind of have it almost healed over feels really good.
00:12:46.216 -->
00:12:48.346Yeah, cause I mean, it's a good point.
00:12:48.346 -->
00:12:53.392I didn't even think about all of the horrendous things that they went through.
00:12:53.392 -->
00:12:57.149Like I completely forgot about it actually, and it's like, oh yeah, the U S one again.
00:12:57.610 -->
00:12:57.770Yeah.
00:12:58.010 -->
00:13:03.869And it's like they overcame that and people thought that the U S Olympics was going to go down basically forever.
00:13:03.869 -->
00:13:07.154Right After that scandal and after everything like how can you come back from that?
00:13:07.154 -->
00:13:09.269Are you going to be able to compete at a healthy level?
00:13:09.269 -->
00:13:11.360And they overcame the demons.
00:13:11.360 -->
00:13:22.251They completely had to clean house from everybody on the US Olympics business side of things and it's not just the Olympics USAG all the way down to junior Olympics.
00:13:22.500 -->
00:13:24.726So I guess that's what I mean is.
00:13:24.726 -->
00:13:28.285The importance of it is that they cleaned house in obvious.
00:13:28.285 -->
00:13:31.501It was an appropriate action, it was the only action that could be done.
00:13:31.501 -->
00:13:37.197And to come out on top on the other side of it and the leader of it is simone.
00:13:37.197 -->
00:13:39.125Simone has been on both sides of it.
00:13:39.125 -->
00:13:54.272She is the only one that was present at the olympic games in 2016 before everything imploded and has now built herself back up to be in the 2024 Olympics by the way, the oldest gymnast, at 27 years old, to do it, and she's the leader of it.
00:13:54.272 -->
00:13:55.134She's the face of it.
00:13:55.134 -->
00:14:10.365She's obviously faced immense pressure and I don't know, it's just I feel so good about the future of gymnastics because of where we're at right now, and it's just it feel so good about the future of gymnastics because of where we're at right now and it's just, it's exciting to see and it's I don't know.
00:14:10.365 -->
00:14:13.687It makes me emotional, it makes me feel all the feels.
00:14:13.927 -->
00:14:15.371Yeah, I sent you a message.
00:14:15.371 -->
00:14:16.885I said what did I say?
00:14:16.885 -->
00:14:20.229Hey, is Simone Biles a little dramatic, or what Was that what I said?
00:14:20.509 -->
00:14:21.130Something like that.
00:14:21.130 -->
00:14:22.826Yeah, and then you didn't respond.
00:14:28.440 -->
00:14:29.202So said something like that yeah, yeah.
00:14:29.202 -->
00:14:29.784And then you didn't respond.
00:14:29.784 -->
00:14:30.386So I'm still waiting for that.
00:14:30.386 -->
00:14:31.109I'd love for you to state your case.
00:14:31.109 -->
00:14:31.389I'm listening.
00:14:31.389 -->
00:14:32.052First of all, big big simone guy.
00:14:32.052 -->
00:14:33.096I think she's obviously the best sport has ever had.
00:14:33.096 -->
00:14:33.859I think her and sean johnson top two.
00:14:33.859 -->
00:14:47.525Big sean johnson guy right here um, I just feel like every time I I read or see a headline with Simone, it's always something dramatic, like always, like you know, going off on somebody.
00:14:47.525 -->
00:14:50.322Her Instagram caption.
00:14:50.524 -->
00:14:52.288Okay, that's one, all right, any others?
00:14:52.648 -->
00:14:53.870Well, let's talk about that one.
00:14:53.870 -->
00:14:57.808I think, uh, obviously I am a guy who loves to shit talk.
00:14:57.808 -->
00:15:00.826I am always a guy who likes a good chirp.
00:15:00.826 -->
00:15:09.125To give you a little background Um, I had to do research after I saw the instagram post.
00:15:09.125 -->
00:15:09.908Right that you did research.
00:15:09.908 -->
00:15:10.448Thank you for that.
00:15:10.448 -->
00:15:10.669Yeah, I had.
00:15:10.669 -->
00:15:11.631I had to do some research.
00:15:11.631 -->
00:15:19.214So explain, there's a girl who was and I watched another video um, who was on the gymnastics team?
00:15:19.214 -->
00:15:24.274Michaela, not michaela marooney no all right, we all like Michaela Maroney she's awesome.
00:15:24.315 -->
00:15:42.504Yes, maroney, yeah um, this Michaela girl, I guess, was a alternate for Simone and then became on the team because Simone had, uh, dropped out, right that is correct okay okay, and she also got a silver medal give you a little background on this Michaela girl.
00:15:42.625 -->
00:15:57.870Michaela Skinner was, in all, an alternate in previous Olympics, so she was Simone's teammate, okay, uh, I think it's important to mention that Michaela was also part of the USA G program when things weren't so great.
00:15:57.870 -->
00:16:06.900So you know she's been at the hands of all of the bad things that you know about gymnastics, but also some of all of the good ones as well.
00:16:06.900 -->
00:16:11.910After the olympic trials of this year, she went on youtube and decided to.
00:16:11.910 -->
00:16:16.788You know, she didn't really say great things about the girls that were that made the team.
00:16:16.788 -->
00:16:24.926She even went as far as to say I wish I would have made a comeback, because I feel like I could have, like, helped the united states, which I don't think not.
00:16:24.966 -->
00:16:26.309Don't think is not a bad thing.
00:16:26.659 -->
00:16:33.341However, the way in which she said it was super condescending, because she's like these girls fell two times and still made the team Again.
00:16:33.341 -->
00:16:44.322Not a bad thing to say it's more so the way she was saying it, and I think a lot of the disappointment came from the fact that she like they should be on the same team.
00:16:44.442 -->
00:16:48.187Well now, when she went on YouTube, did she just like have a YouTube channel?
00:16:48.187 -->
00:16:50.110Yeah, she has a big following she's an Olympic gymnast.
00:16:50.129 -->
00:16:51.591She talks about the sport.
00:16:51.591 -->
00:16:52.072She's an athlete.
00:16:55.940 -->
00:16:57.519So she gave her side saying that she could be on this year's team.
00:16:58.582 -->
00:17:06.482Essentially, but she went as far as to say there's no depth of difficulty, they're lazy In reality, the there's no depth of difficulty, they're lazy.
00:17:06.502 -->
00:17:07.826In reality, the girls just don't work hard anymore, right?
00:17:07.826 -->
00:17:08.507Okay, so I heard that.
00:17:08.507 -->
00:17:14.915Yep, she said everybody but simone, correct, so she wasn't talking crap about simone, she never did, right I mean but I understand.
00:17:14.915 -->
00:17:19.048So she said they don't work hard, which is a crazy assumption to make about a gymnast.
00:17:19.108 -->
00:17:22.364Obviously they're working hard well, and especially like she's, she should be on their team.
00:17:22.364 -->
00:17:29.367I don't mean physically the actual team, I'm just saying that, like she represents the sport, she represents Olympic gymnastics.
00:17:29.367 -->
00:17:32.250Like you should be supporting.
00:17:32.460 -->
00:17:37.446Kind of came across as a jealous I'm not there anymore Like came off bad.
00:17:38.181 -->
00:17:43.593And again, I don't think necessarily everything she said was bad, but the way in which she said it.
00:17:44.181 -->
00:17:46.780OK, it was so pretty bad, but not terrible.
00:17:46.800 -->
00:17:52.372Not terrible okay so then flash forward, simone was there anything between like?
00:17:52.412 -->
00:17:54.000so did these girls.
00:17:54.020 -->
00:17:55.965Um, there were some tweets that went out.
00:17:55.986 -->
00:18:01.046Yeah, simone said some people shouldn't have access yes, yes, okay, but is that bad?
00:18:02.489 -->
00:18:07.547is that bad, though, because Michaela could say her opinion, but Simone can't no, no, I'm not, I'm saying, this is what I'm saying.
00:18:07.547 -->
00:18:14.362You can all say your okay, okay, yeah, yeah so, but I think it was just like a tweet and then it was done okay because, guess what, someone had bigger fish to fry.
00:18:14.362 -->
00:18:18.340She has to get ready for the Olympics, exactly which she does bigger fish to fry.
00:18:18.401 -->
00:18:19.584Keep that in mind they.
00:18:20.606 -->
00:18:21.348You know what I'm saying?
00:18:21.509 -->
00:18:26.744no, that's what I'm saying I like that you said that because I'm going to use that same phrase in like 30 seconds.
00:18:26.900 -->
00:18:29.970So then Simone gets her life together.
00:18:29.970 -->
00:18:31.626They qualify for the team qualifications.
00:18:31.626 -->
00:18:33.325They win gold.
00:18:33.325 -->
00:18:34.829Yeah, they win gold.
00:18:35.119 -->
00:18:36.707And what's the first thing that Simone does?
00:18:36.707 -->
00:18:39.045Oh, she posted a picture.
00:18:39.788 -->
00:18:42.464Yes, and it's a clap back Sean because she let her actions speak, don't?
00:18:42.484 -->
00:18:45.920she got bigger fish to fry, simone she fucking fried them, sean.
00:18:46.181 -->
00:18:47.412She won the goddamn gold.
00:18:47.412 -->
00:18:47.855What do you mean?
00:18:47.855 -->
00:18:51.452She has bigger fish to fry, exactly then bigger things you're giving this girl attention.
00:18:51.452 -->
00:18:55.086She already did it and it was the period at the end of the statement.
00:18:55.086 -->
00:18:57.685Do not cut me off the gold medal speaks for itself.
00:18:57.705 -->
00:19:00.642Exactly, I feel like you just gave this girl attention she shouldn't deserve.
00:19:01.001 -->
00:19:04.230Oh, I absolutely couldn't agree less what she doesn't.
00:19:04.309 -->
00:19:06.012It has nothing to do with attention to her.
00:19:06.220 -->
00:19:07.865It has nothing to do with attention.
00:19:07.905 -->
00:19:08.910You gave her attention.
00:19:08.910 -->
00:19:12.478I was looking her up, everybody else was Good.
00:19:12.478 -->
00:19:15.809I'm glad you did, trying to figure out what the deal with this girl is, because you want to know something Good.
00:19:15.809 -->
00:19:24.887Simone is the greatest of all time Right and she can do whatever she wants.
00:19:24.887 -->
00:19:25.147I'm like.
00:19:25.548 -->
00:19:30.913I did not say she can do whatever she wants but I feel like I'm like that seemed kind of a little cringy to me.
00:19:30.913 -->
00:19:42.449I'm afraid to say that, cause I think Simone might come after me if I say that Okay, cause I feel like LOL, that she would give you the time of I was just about to say on social media.
00:19:42.449 -->
00:19:43.550What do you mean?
00:19:43.671 -->
00:19:44.112Who is everybody?
00:19:44.132 -->
00:19:46.034People talk about her husband and she goes off.
00:19:46.034 -->
00:19:51.547I feel like there's always a little drama around Simone, that's all I ask.
00:19:51.887 -->
00:19:52.509Can I ask you a real question?
00:19:52.509 -->
00:19:53.190I think she's a fantastic athlete.
00:19:53.190 -->
00:19:54.051Can I ask you a real question?
00:19:54.051 -->
00:20:01.469Yeah, seriously, and I don't know that you can even answer this unbiasedly, and I'm not trying to be able to see you next Tuesday Would you feel this way if it was Michael Phelps?
00:20:01.469 -->
00:20:04.333Would you feel this way if it was a male athlete?
00:20:05.574 -->
00:20:08.221Be honest, yeah, the very first.
00:20:08.221 -->
00:20:22.898I'm not saying don't clap back at her at all, like love that, but I'm saying the first thing you post on Instagram it's like, oh, you really don't like this girl because you don't gotta say anything to her at this point.
00:20:23.941 -->
00:20:24.342I hear you.
00:20:24.382 -->
00:20:26.878Right, like clap back maybe a day or two later.
00:20:26.878 -->
00:20:28.457I'm just saying the timing maybe is wrong.
00:20:28.457 -->
00:20:31.636I don't mind her doing what she did, but I'm saying the very first post.
00:20:31.636 -->
00:20:32.993Obviously it worked.
00:20:32.993 -->
00:20:33.715It landed.
00:20:33.715 -->
00:20:34.578Everybody loved it.
00:20:34.578 -->
00:20:39.402I mean, that post has millions of comments and likes.
00:20:39.402 -->
00:20:40.736Like it landed.
00:20:40.736 -->
00:20:51.589The girl shut down her youtube, yeah, and I'm like, oh, I think that girl should have been like taking advantage of that and be like shit, all right, congrats girls.
00:20:51.589 -->
00:20:52.551That's my bad, like.
00:20:52.551 -->
00:21:04.740I think she should have owned up to it and use that to continue on with her discussion about the olympics instead of shying away like it looks bad that you just like shut your page down and you like went and hid in the closet.
00:21:04.740 -->
00:21:09.316I feel like Michaela should have just been like shit, all right, I was wrong.
00:21:09.316 -->
00:21:11.339Yeah, hand up, there is depth.
00:21:11.339 -->
00:21:12.361You girls do work hard.
00:21:12.361 -->
00:21:13.983Congrats, love you guys.
00:21:13.983 -->
00:21:15.346Team USA.
00:21:16.351 -->
00:21:17.276I agree with you.
00:21:23.609 -->
00:21:26.101But I was like oh, I don't know if you need to do that right away, but guess what.
00:21:26.121 -->
00:21:27.627I'm not the one who won a gold medal, so I can't say anything.
00:21:27.627 -->
00:21:28.109That's just my opinion.
00:21:28.109 -->
00:21:39.117Listen, I don't think Simone can do anything she wants, but I do think that she very subtly and very I mean, yeah, was it petty, of course, but all she did was make an Instagram caption.
00:21:39.117 -->
00:21:40.181She did not tag her.
00:21:42.990 -->
00:21:44.596She did not refer to the situation, but who cares?
00:21:45.218 -->
00:21:46.843She's not allowed to make her Instagram caption.
00:21:47.069 -->
00:21:50.681I mean it's great if she was using that for emotion, I mean for motivation.
00:21:50.681 -->
00:21:53.179Damn, like you are really bothered by that, simone.
00:21:53.210 -->
00:21:54.450Would you not be bothered by that?
00:21:54.630 -->
00:21:55.071It's great.
00:21:55.071 -->
00:22:01.564I'm just saying, like every athlete goes to something for motivation, sure, and that was very high on her list.
00:22:01.564 -->
00:22:06.327Like she had that Instagram caption planned for months probably.
00:22:06.369 -->
00:22:09.214Here's the thing that I I'm speaking for Simone on her behalf.
00:22:09.214 -->
00:22:10.337Do I know this for a fact?
00:22:10.337 -->
00:22:19.560Obviously not, but I think that after the Tokyo Olympics, simone had like a huge mental block where then she felt like the world, the United States, everybody hated her.
00:22:19.560 -->
00:22:28.594If you haven't watched the documentary on Netflix, I like the world, the united states, everybody hated her.
00:22:28.614 -->
00:22:32.726if you haven't watched the documentary on netflix, I highly started watching it yeah, so imagine feeling like the entire world hates you because you quote, unquote, quit, quit.
00:22:32.726 -->
00:22:33.428Excuse me, this is a pg podcast.
00:22:33.428 -->
00:22:34.369We got locks right here quit.
00:22:34.431 -->
00:22:42.859I was trying to merge words quit yeah, sorry, locks quit, quote, unquote, even though it was a mental block.
00:22:42.859 -->
00:22:48.320Yeah, so the word block and quit is what I was trying to say together was okay okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
00:22:49.451 -->
00:22:50.313Let me finish the sentence.
00:22:50.653 -->
00:22:51.496Let me finish the sentence.
00:22:51.496 -->
00:23:01.815So she's in the dark place and she only has a handful of people that know her personally, know her as a gymnast, know her as a friend, and michaela was one of them.
00:23:01.815 -->
00:23:26.070And then they come out on the other side of all this bullshit covid, the mental block, the everything, the scandal with the doctors, yeah, and they are going to put this team together like, finally, as a sport, we're healing, and then someone from your own side, kayla didn't say anything bad about simone though it doesn't matter, simone is the captain in the goat of this sport it doesn't matter if she personally pointed out simone.
00:23:26.291 -->
00:23:29.624Simone takes that personally because she represents why she's a great captain.
00:23:29.684 -->
00:23:31.933Heck, yeah, I would take that personally too for my team.
00:23:31.933 -->
00:23:35.781But obviously, but don't, but, don't know.
00:23:35.781 -->
00:23:39.615I'm saying that you can't be like everybody was against her.
00:23:39.615 -->
00:23:49.441All this was like, well, that's what you get when you're the best in the world and when you're getting millions of dollars and getting all these sponsorship deals and you're going to have the rest of your life set up.
00:23:49.441 -->
00:23:53.801There's going to be things like some pressure and criticism the entire time.
00:23:53.801 -->
00:23:58.154Look at Michael Jordan, look at LeBron James the best athletes in the world.
00:23:58.154 -->
00:24:05.538I'm not you're trying to say this is a girl or guy thing, like michael phelps, I don't think michael phelps would do that.
00:24:05.557 -->
00:24:12.531I was just asking if you think that you would think michael phelps was dramatic if he just called out his haters, like when he calls out ryan lochte who talks shit about him.
00:24:12.571 -->
00:24:17.021That's not dramatic no, uh, there's a video going around of phelps.
00:24:17.021 -->
00:24:18.411Did you see it when?
00:24:18.711 -->
00:24:20.255yes, I know exactly what you're talking about.
00:24:20.275 -->
00:24:22.799The australian was talking about the cowbell and everything like that.
00:24:22.799 -->
00:24:26.393He said I would watch this every day before I got in the pool that pumped me up so much.
00:24:26.492 -->
00:24:47.040Like you like see him, so say that michael phelps got out of the water won a gold medal when it go to his instagram and put up, but do you know that for a fact like yes, I do comparing elephants to apples right now you're the one who asked the comparison but I I'm asking you if you think that you would have the same mindset looking at someone like Michael Phelps versus looking at someone like Simone Biles.
00:24:47.040 -->
00:24:49.415I was asking if you think you'd have the same reaction.
00:24:49.415 -->
00:24:51.681You said yes, that's all I was wondering.
00:24:52.061 -->
00:24:52.242Yeah.
00:24:52.242 -->
00:24:57.720I don't believe you, but I hear you, no, no, you don't think I'd be like dude, of course.
00:24:58.029 -->
00:25:02.913I think maybe eventually you would, but Of course.
00:25:02.865 -->
00:25:04.374I think maybe eventually you would, but I think that you would be quicker to jump on.
00:25:04.325 -->
00:25:06.358Simone, you started this with saying that you haven't watched an ounce of Olympics.
00:25:06.358 -->
00:25:11.315So you haven't watched any of the coverage, you don't know the backstory, you don't know the layers that went behind this.
00:25:11.335 -->
00:25:12.720I'm just saying you don't know her personally.
00:25:12.720 -->
00:25:17.338I see a lot of drama surrounding Simone and I just ask is Simone a little dramatic?
00:25:17.338 -->
00:25:21.683Is she a little, would you say, is she a diva?
00:25:23.465 -->
00:25:24.247I don't know her personally.
00:25:24.369 -->
00:25:25.773But from the outside looking in.
00:25:25.773 -->
00:25:26.536That's all I want to know.
00:25:26.536 -->
00:25:27.337That's why I asked you.
00:25:27.337 -->
00:25:33.219You're a gymnast, I'm not watching, so I want to know why all the headlines are always dealing with Simone.
00:25:33.219 -->
00:25:34.201That was it.
00:25:34.609 -->
00:25:36.291Well, they're dealing with Simone, because she's the greatest of all time.
00:25:36.392 -->
00:25:36.813Exactly.
00:25:37.432 -->
00:25:41.198And, yeah, I think that it's not always going to be good news when you're the best in your sport.
00:25:41.198 -->
00:25:46.503I think it comes with the territory, but I also think there's nothing wrong with standing up for yourself.
00:25:46.503 -->
00:25:48.405Simone didn't personally attack this girl.
00:25:48.405 -->
00:25:59.714Now do I think that the fallout now that because there's a bunch of internet bullies like yes, Simone, what you say carries so much more weight than anything I will ever say in my entire lifetime, is a billion?
00:25:59.835 -->
00:26:06.777Exactly, I'm not disagreeing with you in that, but what I'm saying is that she is allowed to make an Instagram caption.
00:26:06.777 -->
00:26:07.538You want to know something?
00:26:07.538 -->
00:26:12.316If Michaela didn't want something like that coming her way, then she shouldn't have said the shit she said.
00:26:12.410 -->
00:26:13.594I'm not saying-.
00:26:13.614 -->
00:26:15.820See Lox says yes, thank you, lox.
00:26:15.970 -->
00:26:17.596I'm not saying nobody's not allowed to do anything.
00:26:17.596 -->
00:26:19.818Everybody to do anything, everybody's allowed to write and say whatever they want.
00:26:19.818 -->
00:26:29.586I'm saying I personally thought eh, I don't know if that was the best caption for right now in the moment, seems a little petty and seems like it is petty.
00:26:29.685 -->
00:26:47.001All you got to do is just sit in that picture, hold your damn gold medal up and you don't have to write anything yeah you know, I, yeah, I hear you but I'm an old man, so you know kids these days kids these days well, and I do think that that also plays into it, or just right like suck it.
00:26:47.001 -->
00:26:48.847You know that's better.
00:26:48.847 -->
00:26:53.618Better than what she said because she personally directed it right at that one girl.
00:26:53.618 -->
00:26:59.140I'm like damn, you were triggered, simone, you got real triggered by that one girl listen, I hear you.
00:26:59.480 -->
00:27:01.471I don't agree with you, but I respect that.
00:27:01.471 -->
00:27:06.036That's your opinion and I think that, yeah, it is petty, but yeah, she's the greatest of all time.
00:27:06.277 -->
00:27:08.219Let's get a third party in here, easton.
00:27:08.219 -->
00:27:10.902What do you think on this subject matter?
00:27:10.902 -->
00:27:14.105Simone Biles Instagram post caption.
00:27:14.105 -->
00:27:14.767Do you like it?
00:27:14.767 -->
00:27:18.724You don't like it.
00:27:18.724 -->
00:27:21.497Honestly, I'm not too aware of the situation All right.
00:27:21.538 -->
00:27:23.230Thank you for your contribution, Anyways.
00:27:23.230 -->
00:27:32.776What's coming up today, though, is the all-around, and I'm very excited to see it because, unfortunately, it could be Simone's last all-around competition of her career.
00:27:33.336 -->
00:27:33.817I don't think so.
00:27:34.358 -->
00:27:35.381And okay.
00:27:35.582 -->
00:27:36.363She's the greatest ever.
00:27:36.363 -->
00:27:37.872She's got more in the tank.
00:27:38.152 -->
00:27:40.015Okay, anything else you want to talk about?
00:27:40.015 -->
00:27:43.519I didn't realize that I was here on a professional Olympic panel.
00:27:43.519 -->
00:27:46.262I would have prepared better, so sorry, no, is it her last?
00:27:46.262 -->
00:27:47.224I don't know.
00:27:47.224 -->
00:27:47.945I mean, it could be.
00:27:47.945 -->
00:27:52.643I don't see what else she has to prove.
00:27:52.643 -->
00:27:54.256She is 27.
00:27:54.256 -->
00:27:56.959The oldest gymnast feels like forever.
00:27:56.959 -->
00:28:06.417I know that that sounds insane, but before this year they literally nicknamed their team the golden girls because of how old this team average is what's the average?
00:28:06.417 -->
00:28:08.951Like 22.5 years old that's crazy.
00:28:09.011 -->
00:28:10.819That's old, the youngest one is 16.
00:28:11.182 -->
00:28:13.932Yeah, I mean, that's what I'm saying is that gymnastics is an insane sport.
00:28:13.932 -->
00:28:15.336I started when I was lox's size.
00:28:15.336 -->
00:28:18.853Like it is a very young sport and has traditionally been teenagers.
00:28:18.853 -->
00:28:23.662In the olympic games, alian was 22, and she was referred to as the grandma.
00:28:23.923 -->
00:28:30.202Oh, I remember that, and so now Simone's 27, and I don't know that physically it's feasible.
00:28:30.202 -->
00:28:37.596I mean, yeah, obviously she's doing great, but it's like your body is breaking down the number of hours that you have to train to maintain how competitive she is.
00:28:37.596 -->
00:28:39.540But what do I know she could come back.
00:28:39.540 -->
00:28:40.103She's the goat.
00:28:42.369 -->
00:29:02.305But it's sad to think that this could be the last one that we'll see her do an all-around competition in yeah, that's why I wonder if she will come back, because she's so much better than everybody else and she's obviously not normal and has taken that average up way higher, so it's like she would be the one to come back at 31 years old.
00:29:02.305 -->
00:29:04.031Is it every four years?
00:29:04.313 -->
00:29:05.134Yeah, yeah, I mean yeah.
00:29:05.596 -->
00:29:06.017Is it four?
00:29:06.017 -->
00:29:06.597Yeah, the.
00:29:06.617 -->
00:29:06.858Olympics.
00:29:06.858 -->
00:29:09.084Yeah, yeah, I mean it's always possible.
00:29:09.084 -->
00:29:12.840I would never count her down and out, especially after everything we've seen from her.
00:29:12.840 -->
00:29:16.279It just I mean, I don't know Like why.
00:29:16.279 -->
00:29:17.030What does she have to prove?
00:29:17.030 -->
00:29:26.036She is now has four skills named after her and this afternoon she has the possibility to be able to name a fifth skill after her, which is unheard of.
00:29:26.036 -->
00:29:28.478Naming one skill after yourself is unheard of.
00:29:28.478 -->
00:29:33.582So you have to basically compete that skill in an international competition and make it.
00:29:33.582 -->
00:29:35.375You can throw the skill but not land.
00:29:35.375 -->
00:29:37.430It Doesn't count, it will not be called the Sean Booth.
00:29:37.430 -->
00:29:46.777But if you throw the skill in international competition and you make it, that now goes in the code of points for all of gymnastics to see that you can learn the Sean Booth on whatever event.
00:29:46.777 -->
00:29:50.395This is the skill it is and it's named after you for the rest of eternity.
00:29:50.556 -->
00:29:51.476What would my move be?
00:29:52.124 -->
00:29:55.515Talking shit with absolutely no information to back it up.
00:29:55.515 -->
00:29:56.748That would be the Sean Booth.
00:29:56.748 -->
00:30:01.657There's an outside perspective Are you chewing into a microphone right now.
00:30:01.657 -->
00:30:05.364I'm about to leave this podcast peanut butter balls do you understand how triggering this is?
00:30:05.364 -->
00:30:06.549You want to talk about triggered.
00:30:06.549 -->
00:30:08.273I'm about to say some hurtful things.
00:30:08.273 -->
00:30:18.392If you smack your mouth into the microphone thank god we're not wearing headphones I would take the baby and run tell your dad to figure it out.
00:30:18.392 -->
00:30:19.634Okay, so now.
00:30:19.935 -->
00:30:22.738Tell your dad to figure it out.
00:30:22.738 -->
00:30:27.221Okay, so now is it Simone Biles move one, Simone Biles move two, Simone Biles move three.
00:30:27.221 -->
00:30:28.021Is that what they call them?
00:30:28.021 -->
00:30:28.942I can't even look at you.
00:30:29.001 -->
00:30:30.462Yes, biles one, biles two.
00:30:30.462 -->
00:30:32.664Biles three, biles four no, potentially Biles five.
00:30:32.944 -->
00:30:33.185Okay.
00:30:33.405 -->
00:30:50.587So she has two, she has four, and the only event she's missing is uneven bars, and today is her last time to be able to do that, because she didn't qualify for individual uneven bar event finals.
00:30:50.493 -->
00:30:50.874So she's got to throw it today.
00:30:50.874 -->
00:30:51.484Make it successfully in order for it to go in the code of points.
00:30:51.484 -->
00:30:52.417How close could you be to nailing biles?
00:30:52.417 -->
00:30:52.644One, two, three, four?
00:30:54.765 -->
00:31:00.347or five, probably as close as you, so very far, yeah, locks agrees.
00:31:00.347 -->
00:31:03.430Um, no, no, these are insane skills that I could never.
00:31:03.430 -->
00:31:04.170I could never.
00:31:04.170 -->
00:31:13.884There is one other woman who competes one of the biles on floor, um, and so out of the four, almost five skills that she has, only one of them has been done by another human being.
00:31:13.884 -->
00:31:15.411That's how difficult they are.
00:31:15.411 -->
00:31:18.035Wow, yeah, so you've been watching?
00:31:18.035 -->
00:31:19.576Uh, she's dramatic, so whatever.
00:31:20.338 -->
00:31:22.221Yeah, thanks for agreeing with me.
00:31:22.221 -->
00:31:25.894Moving on to the track, have you seen the show on Netflix?
00:31:25.894 -->
00:31:27.579It's pretty sweet.
00:31:27.579 -->
00:31:31.259Follows the best runners in the world.
00:31:32.150 -->
00:31:33.172Track has not started up yet.
00:31:33.172 -->
00:31:34.153We're still in swimming.
00:31:34.535 -->
00:31:34.775Okay.
00:31:35.296 -->
00:31:38.824Right, oh well, I don't know, you haven't watched, nevermind, Okay, okay, yes.
00:31:42.970 -->
00:31:44.434Moving watch, never mind, okay, okay, yes, moving on, sorry.
00:31:44.434 -->
00:31:48.689So it's uh cool series on netflix and it follows the best runners, the sprinters who are like the well-known ones, the, you know, like usain boltz.
00:31:48.689 -->
00:31:51.481I asked dre the other day I was talking about usain bolt.
00:31:51.481 -->
00:31:51.943She doesn't.
00:31:51.943 -->
00:31:53.150She never heard of usain bolt.
00:31:53.150 -->
00:31:54.516She didn't know who usain bolt is.
00:31:54.876 -->
00:31:57.869That I said you gotta be illegal, you gotta be kidding me, right?
00:31:57.869 -->
00:32:05.115I'm like that is yeah, you don't know that you've never seen that maybe she was actively trying to avoid that.
00:32:05.135 -->
00:32:15.632Yeah, I don't know the, the best pose of all time yeah the greatest sprinter of all time world record yeah, no I mean jamaica I think everybody knows him.
00:32:15.731 -->
00:32:18.559Yeah, apparently not dre, yeah, that's interesting but also very unsurprising from her.
00:32:18.559 -->
00:32:21.815I gotta be honest yeah, so these sprinters.
00:32:21.835 -->
00:32:23.798Noah lyles is the best guy in the U S.
00:32:23.798 -->
00:32:26.183Now Um other countries.
00:32:26.183 -->
00:32:33.329I got a really good guy from France and the girl from the U S remember Shaqari Richardson.
00:32:33.691 -->
00:32:40.582I don't know much about her except for that she's very colorful and can run like hell and, quite honestly, I love it yeah.
00:32:42.013 -->
00:32:46.176And she is very sassy, like she's got attitude.
00:32:46.196 -->
00:32:46.819Is she dramatic too?
00:32:48.330 -->
00:32:49.315Yeah, I'd say she's dramatic.
00:32:49.315 -->
00:32:50.799Okay, definitely.
00:32:50.799 -->
00:32:59.617But yeah, she didn't qualify or she got kicked off the last Olympics for testing positive for marijuana.
00:32:59.878 -->
00:33:00.079Yeah.
00:33:00.390 -->
00:33:02.017Which sucked because she was our best runner.
00:33:02.769 -->
00:33:09.635I have heard that that has since been taken off the banned list which it should I mean yeah it's not a performance if you can run faster than everyone in the world.
00:33:09.675 -->
00:33:27.699High, you deserve to be high but also athletes just use thc to recover yeah you know they're well, I think that as we as a society have grown, and gotten smarter and evolved, have realized the benefits of THC as opposed to it being like this slippery slope gateway drug that it was painted to be in the past.
00:33:27.699 -->
00:33:32.176But I mean, when you know better, you do better, and I think that we are on our way to be doing better.
00:33:32.176 -->
00:33:36.309Obviously, I'm excited for anyone that has made it to the Olympics.
00:33:36.651 -->
00:33:42.557And I just feel like THC is a silly thing to take someone out of a competition for.
00:33:42.557 -->
00:33:43.559But what do I know?
00:33:43.559 -->
00:33:50.855I'm not a governing body, so I understand that there's rules, but I just feel like that's not a performance enhancing drug that we should be concerned about.
00:33:51.617 -->
00:33:52.239I agree with you.
00:33:52.239 -->
00:33:53.382I agree with you.
00:33:53.382 -->
00:33:55.996And they do such a good job with this show.
00:33:55.996 -->
00:34:01.652Um, kind of just like building up little rivalries, right, great story.
00:34:01.652 -->
00:34:03.159Come back failed drug test.
00:34:03.159 -->
00:34:04.692Four years later she's back.
00:34:04.692 -->
00:34:05.615What does she have?
00:34:05.615 -->
00:34:06.917Can she beat the world record?
00:34:06.917 -->
00:34:08.081Can she get a gold medal?
00:34:08.081 -->
00:34:22.577And then you have a girl from jamaica who is usa's rival it's always usa and jamaica for sprints and there's this girl from jamaica who's like super like quiet and just like all business.
00:34:22.577 -->
00:34:24.000And then you got your car.
00:34:24.000 -->
00:34:26.021He just like super flashy.
00:34:26.282 -->
00:34:26.523Yeah.
00:34:26.623 -->
00:34:29.106And it's just like the two polar opposites.
00:34:29.106 -->
00:34:40.920But then they, you know, have races, you know, between the Olympics, so they're lining up next to next to one another and you got the coaches on the sidelines, they're talking and it's just a cool series going back and forth with the men and the women.
00:34:46.429 -->
00:34:54.617I gotta be honest, I haven't graduated from the chapter of gymnastics, yeah, um, and I've been watching swimming only during the prime time, so I have not wrapped my head around the fact that track is coming up yet I, I'll get there it's 10 days baby, I gotta spread myself.
00:34:54.617 -->
00:34:57.574I can't spread myself too thin is the entire olympics 10 days.
00:34:58.054 -->
00:35:00.378Yeah, it's just 10 days two weeks, yeah damn weeks, yeah, damn.
00:35:01.360 -->
00:35:04.697I know, and it feels like forever Feels like it's already been a couple weeks.
00:35:04.697 -->
00:35:09.313Yeah, but imagine training your entire life In gymnastics.
00:35:09.313 -->
00:35:15.458I can only speak, but it's literally your entire life for all in all the time that you're actually competing less than five minutes.
00:35:15.778 -->
00:35:15.980Yeah.
00:35:16.070 -->
00:35:18.974You put every event, every skill together.
00:35:18.974 -->
00:35:24.686When you're actually doing gymnastics competitively, it's like less than five minutes, so your entire life for that.
00:35:24.686 -->
00:35:36.494And same with running, like obviously they're trying to be the fastest so you want the shortest amount of time of you actually competing, unless you're katie ledecky and you're just like out there laps ahead of everybody else, swimming for miles.
00:35:36.494 -->
00:35:40.070It felt like I don't know if you've watched that, but I saw this meme that I laughed about.
00:35:40.090 -->
00:35:49.407It's like my favorite part of the olympics is when they do the overhead view of the pool and it looks like katie ledecky is in the pool by herself because that's how far ahead she is than everybody else behind her.
00:35:49.407 -->
00:35:51.893Yeah, happened again last night crazy good for her.
00:35:51.893 -->
00:36:03.342She, I think, is someone that will come back again yeah she has like vocalized that I think she's the quote-unquote like the comparable to Simone in swimming again if I'm speaking out of turn.
00:36:03.342 -->
00:36:04.103I am not a swimmer.
00:36:04.284 -->
00:36:06.936I apologize, but she has the best of all time.
00:36:07.231 -->
00:36:08.697She said that she would come back again.
00:36:08.697 -->
00:36:11.898She said I will keep coming back until my body gives out, which good for her.
00:36:11.898 -->
00:36:14.096Yeah, I don't know if Simone has that, I don't know.
00:36:14.577 -->
00:36:15.199We'll find out.
00:36:15.199 -->
00:36:17.074I heard Michael Phel.
00:36:23.769 -->
00:36:24.670I mean, he's not a little friend.
00:36:24.690 -->
00:36:25.550He's a large man.
00:36:25.570 -->
00:36:31.875But Michael Phelps gave him the medal, gave him the hug or whatever, and it was like he broke his record.
00:36:31.875 -->
00:36:35.697Then he came to the Olympics and broke it again or something like that.
00:36:35.697 -->
00:36:40.199An incredible story, but I love to watch the evolution of sports.
00:36:40.199 -->
00:36:48.003You think that Michael Phelps just set these records, or I felt like that.
00:36:48.003 -->
00:36:55.268I'm not going to put words in your mouth, but I feel like, oh my God, michael Phelps was just on top of his game, he was just here, but when you think about it, it's been a couple Olympics now.
00:36:55.288 -->
00:37:18.780I know he said that he had the record for 21 years before the French Well also, and the impressive thing, like all of the events, yeah so he was the best in all the events where now everybody kind of specializes and stays in the lane and they train all year, all their life for one event all right, so michael phelps was so good at everything.
00:37:18.780 -->
00:37:20.693That's why he was kind of now he's the all-arounder.
00:37:20.932 -->
00:37:21.856Yeah, the simone biles.
00:37:21.856 -->
00:37:27.958Yeah, exactly I just want to post a cringy instagram caption, though right right right, we'll have to, uh, take that up with him.
00:37:27.958 -->
00:37:29.661Maybe we should call Michael Phelps and see what he thinks.
00:37:29.789 -->
00:37:31.056Yeah, let's get him on the horn.
00:37:31.170 -->
00:37:33.135You know, from one goat to another meaning.
00:37:33.255 -->
00:37:35.222Simone, not you by the way I'll call him.
00:37:35.623 -->
00:37:37.789Oh, okay, just FaceTime him up right now.
00:37:37.869 -->
00:37:39.210His phone says he's busy.
00:37:40.152 -->
00:37:40.813Interesting.
00:37:40.813 -->
00:37:41.373I wonder why.
00:37:43.155 -->
00:37:44.976Yeah, do not disturb, do not disturb.
00:37:46.737 -->
00:37:48.458I love being competitive.
00:37:48.458 -->
00:37:49.659I feel like you love being competitive.
00:37:49.659 -->
00:37:50.880I feel like that's what the Olympics is.
00:37:50.880 -->
00:37:54.925I'm impressed, slash surprised, slash disappointed that you haven't watched any Olympics.
00:37:54.985 -->
00:37:56.326I know I guess I'll take it no time.
00:37:56.326 -->
00:37:57.086That's crazy.
00:37:57.447 -->
00:37:59.898Okay, but for two weeks you can't support your country.
00:38:00.971 -->
00:38:03.893Oh, now I'm not supporting our country, you're not I'm supporting our country.
00:38:03.893 -->
00:38:04.436I'm supporting our country.
00:38:04.436 -->
00:38:05.864I'm the biggest American there is.
00:38:05.864 -->
00:38:07.670Yeah.
00:38:08.630 -->
00:38:11.552That's a little dramatic, if you ask me this is a little dramatic.
00:38:11.632 -->
00:38:12.653I'm pretty American now.
00:38:12.653 -->
00:38:14.074I love our country.
00:38:14.074 -->
00:38:16.757I just don't have time to watch the Olympics.
00:38:16.896 -->
00:38:17.398I understand.
00:38:17.438 -->
00:38:24.123And I put it on, and every time I've turned on like YouTube TV and you got the split screen of all four.
00:38:24.123 -->
00:38:25.304Yeah, nothing interests me.
00:38:26.103 -->
00:38:28.786It's exciting to see people's dreams come true.
00:38:28.786 -->
00:38:30.867I think that that's the part that gets me the most.
00:38:30.867 -->
00:38:32.041It doesn't matter the sport.
00:38:32.041 -->
00:38:36.735I get emotional whenever you see someone accomplish something that you know.
00:38:36.735 -->
00:38:46.456Not only has it been their dedication, their coaches, their teammates, their parents, the hours, the money, the sacrifice, all of that to come together.
00:38:46.456 -->
00:38:50.893And in money, the sacrifice, all of that to come together.
00:38:50.893 -->
00:38:53.480And in america I can't speak for other countries, but in sports like swimming and gymnastics, men's, women, it doesn't matter.
00:38:53.480 -->
00:38:56.516Nobody cares about these sports other than right now.
00:38:56.516 -->
00:39:02.242So for them to also get a little bit of fame and glory and become the pommel horse guy hell yeah, I love that for them.
00:39:02.402 -->
00:39:13.164yeah, like good for them that makes me feel so warm inside, because you put in the work, you made the effort, you performed, and now you're reaping all the benefits, and as you should.
00:39:13.463 -->
00:39:17.780Yeah, I agree, the sad thing is is like how life is after that.
00:39:17.780 -->
00:39:19.514So you post-Olympics depression?
00:39:19.775 -->
00:39:26.550Oh, so much I've heard it often and it's so sad because truly, think about it realistically.
00:39:26.550 -->
00:39:29.840In three months from now, stephen will be able to go to Publix, just fine.
00:39:29.840 -->
00:39:35.853No one's going to know he's the pommel horse guy unless he's in an environment that, like you know, lets you know.
00:39:35.853 -->
00:39:40.313You know he's signing autographs behind a table with a name tag or something Other than that.
00:39:40.313 -->
00:39:41.617I mean Simone's a little different.
00:39:41.617 -->
00:39:42.775I think people would recognize her.
00:39:42.929 -->
00:39:52.907She's as tall as locks and she's all over the place in the media for years but for these other olympians who maybe are on a team sport as well and it doesn't have that individualized attention.
00:39:52.907 -->
00:40:00.132Yeah, yeah, that's got to be a weird mental adjustment talk about 15 minutes of fame it's just like up and down.
00:40:00.132 -->
00:40:05.451Well, you work so slowly, your entire life, to get there for to just like firework into the air.
00:40:05.451 -->
00:40:06.920And then it just well what?
00:40:06.940 -->
00:40:07.324about to earth.
00:40:07.324 -->
00:40:13.115But what about the people who didn't make the Olympic roster or they didn't place and they didn't get a medal?
00:40:13.115 -->
00:40:16.601So you worked your entire life, this was your last Olympics and then boom.
00:40:16.601 -->
00:40:20.014Now what do you do with your life and mid-20s?
00:40:20.956 -->
00:40:21.117Yeah.
00:40:21.137 -->
00:40:21.518It's crazy.
00:40:21.518 -->
00:40:24.295You spent since you were, like you said, locks of size.
00:40:24.295 -->
00:40:26.838Your entire life was focused on Olympic metal.
00:40:26.838 -->
00:40:28.001You didn't get one.
00:40:28.001 -->
00:40:29.001Now what?
00:40:29.784 -->
00:40:38.204Well, I think I think in some ways that might be easier.
00:40:38.204 -->
00:40:43.318I know that's a loaded statement, but I think I'm not saying easier.
00:40:43.318 -->
00:40:45.135How do I want to say this?
00:40:45.135 -->
00:40:49.876I think in some ways the recovery from that is just different.
00:40:49.876 -->
00:40:51.338I wouldn't say easier, it's just different.
00:40:51.338 -->
00:40:58.074Because you got to not make the team within your own cocoon.
00:40:58.074 -->
00:41:00.300You don't know the.
00:41:00.300 -->
00:41:02.204Can you name a swimmer that didn't make the team?
00:41:02.204 -->
00:41:04.315Can you name a gymnast that didn't make the team?
00:41:04.315 -->
00:41:11.494No, but you can name the ones that did and it's like they don't get the taste of the fame and like the rush.
00:41:11.494 -->
00:41:16.059So that's obviously unfortunate, but I do kind of feel like that's easier to recover from.
00:41:16.911 -->
00:41:18.577Well, yeah, because you're not recovering from anything.
00:41:19.269 -->
00:41:21.579Well, you're recovering from an immense disappointment.
00:41:21.579 -->
00:41:31.961It's just not in the public eye and everything you should know of anyone that recovering in the comfort of your own home is much different than recovering at the scrutiny of the public.
00:41:32.523 -->
00:41:44.164Yeah, but I just feel like the Olympic Olympians who made the team, who got the medals, they're able to utilize that for years.
00:41:44.164 -->
00:41:47.460Oh, yes, you know they can, they can you know?
00:41:47.460 -->
00:41:53.585Know they'll like the next year they're gonna be doing events, they're gonna get paid, they will get sponsorships.
00:41:53.585 -->
00:41:56.333It's gonna be like, hey, we got olympic silver medalists.
00:41:56.333 -->
00:42:07.641Yep, the other people is just like well, now I gotta work full-time job yeah, it's kind of similar to nashville or anybody.
00:42:07.641 -->
00:42:12.610Artists, you come here, what's the expiration date?
00:42:12.610 -->
00:42:13.172Like at what?
00:42:13.211 -->
00:42:15.557point like an actress or an actor.
00:42:15.557 -->
00:42:17.322You're working your entire life.
00:42:17.322 -->
00:42:19.896You get to 28, 29, 30, mid thirties.
00:42:19.896 -->
00:42:20.697You still haven't made it.
00:42:20.697 -->
00:42:22.041You're still struggling to pay rent.
00:42:22.041 -->
00:42:24.012At what time do you throw that towel in?
00:42:24.434 -->
00:42:30.983Right, well, I feel like it applies to both music and sports, I guess.
00:42:30.983 -->
00:42:39.250But something that I hear around town here is just like you know, make sure you're nice to people on the way up, especially when it's real quick because, guess who you're gonna see on the way down?
00:42:39.771 -->
00:42:55.480yeah, those same people, and I can name specific artists, specific managers, people that had a real quick rise that may not last or have already started not to last, and they're on the back nine and they're on the way down.
00:42:55.480 -->
00:43:01.514And let me tell you, everybody remembers how you treated them on the way up Exactly, and so I think that's a stupid game, the whole thing.
00:43:01.653 -->
00:43:04.222It is a stupid game, but at the same time, it's a lesson in humility.
00:43:04.889 -->
00:43:07.615You cannot be the goat for forever.
00:43:07.876 -->
00:43:09.159But it's like oh no, exactly.
00:43:09.159 -->
00:43:14.755And then to those same artists who made it up quick, it's like oh well, where was everybody before you made it?
00:43:14.755 -->
00:43:19.114And then there's a quote that I saw a couple of weeks ago.
00:43:19.114 -->
00:43:43.724I don't know where I saw it, but it was something like you are one success away from having everybody say I knew you could do it, and one, one major accomplishment away from everybody saying, oh yeah, like I like you, you know it's like, but until then nobody gives a shit nope, no, I don't know it's.
00:43:45.507 -->
00:43:46.911I obviously don't know what it's like to be an artist.
00:43:46.911 -->
00:43:48.237I've worked with a lot of them.
00:43:48.237 -->
00:44:01.336I feel like I relate more to the athlete mindset, but I think that there's a lot of similarities because essentially, you're both just trying to be the best at your craft yeah again, another mental, emotional, human experiment.
00:44:01.637 -->
00:44:14.246Yeah, I would love to just be a fly on the wall at the olympics though, to just really absorb it and see, because I think something that I wish I could feel, that you can't feel through the television screen is the energy of the arena.
00:44:14.246 -->
00:44:19.081I would love the Olympics are in LA in 2028 and it is on my bucket list.
00:44:19.081 -->
00:44:25.483I would love to make it to at least one gymnastics event in LA in 2028.
00:44:25.483 -->
00:44:27.235I have already started scouting.
00:44:27.235 -->
00:44:29.000If you have any hookups, please let me know.
00:44:29.000 -->
00:44:30.472I would like to go.
00:44:30.472 -->
00:44:31.356I don't know that I would.
00:44:31.516 -->
00:44:36.356I think I would be so overwhelmed, I would just I'd be so emotional to be able to witness that in real life.
00:44:36.356 -->
00:44:41.936It's just the best of the best of the sport that I love, the sport that shaped me into who I am.
00:44:41.936 -->
00:44:45.561I know that sounds so cliche, but everything goes back to that.
00:44:45.561 -->
00:44:48.606The good, the bad, the ugly and everything in between is just like.
00:44:48.606 -->
00:44:51.675I can't imagine witnessing that in real life.
00:44:51.675 -->
00:44:52.398And you know what?
00:44:52.398 -->
00:44:58.663You see how important the crowd is because of the difference the Tokyo Olympics to this Olympics are.
00:44:58.663 -->
00:45:01.157There was nobody in the crowd in Tokyo and guess what?
00:45:01.157 -->
00:45:03.956It showed the energy, none, no crowd.
00:45:03.956 -->
00:45:06.213Can you imagine making it to the Olympics and nobody can come and watch?
00:45:06.454 -->
00:45:06.675Yeah.
00:45:07.016 -->
00:45:10.101That's an aspect that helps you so so much.
00:45:10.101 -->
00:45:11.623And they were robbed of that.
00:45:11.764 -->
00:45:16.226Yeah, I would love for it to be on home turf in the USA as an Olympian.
00:45:16.427 -->
00:45:17.226You know the crowd.
00:45:17.226 -->
00:45:19.771It's going to be crazy, oh my gosh.
00:45:19.771 -->
00:45:20.592And you know what?
00:45:20.592 -->
00:45:23.797Maybe that's the kick that Simone needs to come back is that she doesn't have to travel far.
00:45:23.797 -->
00:45:27.161She's right there in la babe, come on back yeah, let's watch it one more time.
00:45:27.161 -->
00:45:29.505I think she'll be back you do, you really think so?
00:45:29.505 -->
00:45:32.911I do okay I don't think so I think she'll be back.
00:45:33.813 -->
00:45:43.161I'm rooting for her yeah, as long as she's not too dramatic though as long as I'm sure we'll get a bunch of headlines in the next four years, though, of simone biles and I hope so.
00:45:43.590 -->
00:45:44.452I really do hope so.
00:45:44.452 -->
00:45:57.458Yeah, I mean, I hope she's not cringe and dramatic for you, but I think that she has completely changed the sport, so much that it would be such a shame if she didn't stay in the spotlight of the sport for years to come, which I think at this point is physically impossible.
00:45:57.458 -->
00:46:01.449Like Michael Phelps is now commentating, other retired gymnasts are now commentating.
00:46:01.449 -->
00:46:08.041I think Simone will step into a space where she will still be a prominent figure for years and years and years to come, for the rest of her life.
00:46:08.402 -->
00:46:09.244Yeah, absolutely.
00:46:09.244 -->
00:46:19.409She'll be a big part of US gymnastics till the day she dies, Loxie B we put him to sleep, finally, finally.
00:46:19.409 -->
00:46:20.771That was a tough little go there.
00:46:20.771 -->
00:46:29.521That's where it gets a little bit tougher now, because he needs to move, wants to be entertained, which the first few months.
00:46:29.601 -->
00:46:35.181He can just sleep and he's still pretty chill, though he's still very chill, he's good he likes to uh stand up.
00:46:35.262 -->
00:46:39.257Now, though, like he doesn't like to lay down, he wants to be up and move in.
00:46:39.257 -->
00:46:42.231He's also been saying his first word what is it?
00:46:42.231 -->
00:46:43.713Got it on on camera.
00:46:43.713 -->
00:46:46.878He's been saying it the last few nights actually.
00:46:47.099 -->
00:46:47.380What is?
00:46:47.460 -->
00:46:50.065it and Dre sent me this this morning.
00:46:50.065 -->
00:47:04.135We'll let everybody hear Lox's very first word let's go, let's go.
00:47:05.012 -->
00:47:05.695That's really cute.
00:47:10.751 -->
00:47:11.994Did you hear yourself Loxie?
00:47:12.014 -->
00:47:13.179Did you say dad there?
00:47:14.831 -->
00:47:18.021You keep saying it the last couple of days, let's go.
00:47:18.021 -->
00:47:22.882We were sitting there eating dinner and then he said, dad, dad.
00:47:22.882 -->
00:47:25.215And then we both like stopped and we're like did he just?
00:47:25.715 -->
00:47:26.657Was that English Was that?
00:47:26.677 -->
00:47:27.059real.
00:47:27.059 -->
00:47:30.152Yeah, hi, buddy, so he's been.
00:47:30.152 -->
00:47:32.217I want to believe that he's saying dada.
00:47:32.217 -->
00:47:33.240It's cause he say it so much.
00:47:33.240 -->
00:47:37.201I hear it's easier to say dada than mama, but I'm going to just say that he.
00:47:37.889 -->
00:47:40.097Listen, ride that wave baby.
00:47:40.097 -->
00:47:43.900Yeah, I, you know what I think, mama, mama and dada dada are very, very similar.
00:47:44.030 -->
00:47:45.592So yeah, very similar.
00:47:45.612 -->
00:47:46.414So yeah, one for dad.
00:47:46.414 -->
00:47:48.358I'm sure you know in a couple.
00:47:48.358 -->
00:48:08.501I don't even know how long it takes, but from what I've heard is that they're just real big mama's boys when they're little, but then all of a sudden, it's going to be I want to go have fun with dad, but I want to be nurtured by mom, so he's going to go to you for a good time and go to mom for the hug and you know whatever cliche traditional yeah things that we've learned about human behavior over time.
00:48:08.570 -->
00:48:14.954I'm sure those will take place, but you always have the dub in the dad, dad, dad, dad, dad category.
00:48:14.954 -->
00:48:17.369So good for you, buddy, your first gold medal of fatherhood.
00:48:17.510 -->
00:48:18.331He's a mama's boy.
00:48:18.331 -->
00:48:19.534He's obsessed with his mom.
00:48:19.534 -->
00:48:35.925Um but I heard that their favorite, their like first best friend favorite person is their dad, because they are so attached to their mom that they're basically one together.
00:48:35.925 -->
00:48:36.849You know what I'm saying?
00:48:36.849 -->
00:48:42.621Like, he's so like he looks at the dad as like somebody separate yeah.
00:48:42.621 -->
00:48:46.400But he's just so attached to his mom that that's what I heard.
00:48:47.030 -->
00:48:50.536I don't know how true it is, but I can see that he was living rent-free for 10 months in there.
00:48:50.536 -->
00:48:52.275Like obviously they're going to share a bond.
00:48:52.416 -->
00:48:52.677Yeah.
00:48:52.989 -->
00:49:01.797But I think that dads also just like traditionally represent fun, yeah, and the roughhousing, and this and that, and then mom is nurturing.
00:49:01.797 -->
00:49:03.518You follow, you get a boo-boo, you go to mama.
00:49:03.949 -->
00:49:04.250Yeah.
00:49:04.331 -->
00:49:14.403Oh, mama will come here and hug you Just a little more like nurturing and cuddly, but yeah, I know that you will be also both.
00:49:14.403 -->
00:49:15.931What are you doing right now, are you?
00:49:15.971 -->
00:49:16.273hosting.
00:49:16.273 -->
00:49:18.501I was recording Lux holding my hands Mid-podcast.
00:49:18.521 -->
00:49:20.269I'm trying to talk to you, I'm listening to you, I'm taking a video.
00:49:20.269 -->
00:49:21.590I don't even know what I was saying.
00:49:24.273 -->
00:49:32.065I'm the rough house fun guy, but also like I'm way more crazy than Dre when it comes to like safety and like pretends to be shocked.
00:49:32.751 -->
00:49:54.106I mean, I was over at your house when you weren't there hanging out with Dre and locks last week and she was telling me that the little teething that are made, Sean, I'm telling you someone way smarter than you invented this specifically for babies that are his exact age and exactly how far along they are.
00:49:54.106 -->
00:49:56.157I promise you he's good.
00:49:57.192 -->
00:49:58.938They apparently dissolve.
00:49:58.938 -->
00:50:04.242Yes, but what if one of these you snap off three or four inches and it goes right down your throat?
00:50:04.242 -->
00:50:06.297Is this going to dissolve in the back of your throat?
00:50:07.010 -->
00:50:11.922How the fark is your child going to fit three and four inches of a snack down his throat?
00:50:12.010 -->
00:50:16.362I'm saying there's these little sticks and they're not sticks, they're fat.
00:50:16.429 -->
00:50:17.715It's like a flattened banana.
00:50:18.971 -->
00:50:20.682No, we got these sticks too.
00:50:20.682 -->
00:50:21.690I don't know which one you're talking about.
00:50:21.730 -->
00:50:22.916I'm talking about the one that was a flattened banana.
00:50:22.916 -->
00:50:24.516I was like locks is not going to choke you can.
00:50:24.516 -->
00:50:28.760It dissolves before you could even physically choke, like that is the science behind it.
00:50:28.760 -->
00:50:30.521Yeah, you are good, my guy.
00:50:30.521 -->
00:50:43.411I promise you you are good yeah, the eating scares the crap out of me I understand that obviously you're just protective because he's your son and you don't want him to choke, but like you gotta chill, you're gonna choke yourself out stressing about him eating.
00:50:43.411 -->
00:50:44.193And he's eating.
00:50:44.193 -->
00:50:46.177You got, you're doing it right.
00:50:46.297 -->
00:50:51.076It's not like he's eating a steak burger I mean dre will just toss anything on his.
00:50:51.076 -->
00:50:53.202I'm like you gotta cut that up a little smaller.
00:50:53.202 -->
00:50:55.514No, she's like oh my god, sean stop.
00:50:55.514 -->
00:51:07.335She thinks I'd feed him bottles until he's like five years old you would breastfeed him if you could let's be honest I'm honestly probably not shocked if you've tried, but look at his hair right now.
00:51:07.777 -->
00:51:08.519Yeah, a little mohawk.
00:51:08.769 -->
00:51:09.755He's got gel in there.
00:51:09.755 -->
00:51:13.974Dre put gel in his hair this morning and it's a little mohawk, I did not know that.
00:51:14.135 -->
00:51:16.432Yeah, you look so handsome.
00:51:16.452 -->
00:51:19.081Loxie B First time.
00:51:19.081 -->
00:51:21.496I was also thinking yesterday.
00:51:21.496 -->
00:51:24.793I'm like this dude hasn't worn any shoes in like eight months.
00:51:24.793 -->
00:51:28.097How good of a life is that that's barefoot.
00:51:28.599 -->
00:51:29.940I dream of living that life.
00:51:30.501 -->
00:51:30.722Yeah.
00:51:31.742 -->
00:51:32.985You're so cute, Loxie B.
00:51:35.110 -->
00:51:36.509All right, so let's finish this off with the absolute worst.
00:51:36.509 -->
00:51:49.097And since we're on the topic of Instagram captions today, why don't we do the absolute worst Instagram trend or something that you see on Instagram when you're scrolling you're like oh.
00:51:51.800 -->
00:51:53.027I don't want to see any more of that.
00:51:53.027 -->
00:51:53.469You lead us off.
00:51:53.469 -->
00:51:56.173Okay, I need a second to think about mine.
00:51:57.356 -->
00:52:00.882Don't want to judge First of all, especially mothers or fathers.
00:52:00.882 -->
00:52:05.655Now I've become I've become an Instagram dad where, like, all I want to do is post.
00:52:05.809 -->
00:52:15.880I have so many photos and videos of him that's like my entire camera roll and I like have to refrain from posting everything, but I just want them for the memories.
00:52:15.880 -->
00:52:19.871Sure, and I'm like you'll understand once you're a dad or mom, but I remember like before I had a kid, I'm like I don't care about your kids.
00:52:19.871 -->
00:52:21.213Like stop posting about your kids.
00:52:21.213 -->
00:52:22.313I've become that.
00:52:22.974 -->
00:52:36.206But one thing I see, or I've seen, are people setting up their cameras and they show the night routine of them getting up and feeding.
00:52:36.206 -->
00:53:01.637I'm like, so you're telling me you have a camera in your bedroom the entire night that you sleep and then your baby cries and they get up out of bed like yawn, and then they grab the baby and they're sitting on the side of the bed and they're feeding the baby and then trying to look all cute and they put the baby back down and they go back to bed and the camera still rolls and they show how many times during the night they do that.
00:53:01.637 -->
00:53:05.617Mike, you record your entire night of sleep for an Instagram post.
00:53:05.617 -->
00:53:07.052Have you seen that?
00:53:07.434 -->
00:53:10.835I have seen that, but I just think it's awfully cheeky.
00:53:10.835 -->
00:53:17.420I don't even know what the word is coming from you, someone who is an influencer, who also makes money off recording your life.
00:53:17.702 -->
00:53:19.610These are a lot of them are like mommy, influencers.
00:53:19.610 -->
00:53:32.492I know, but again, I would never set up a camera the entire night yeah like, how much damn battery and how much storage do you have first of all?
00:53:33.215 -->
00:53:44.110and it's like I mean, I do think that we have really crossed a line of like nothing is private anymore but it's like, and then you know like what if your baby didn't cry at all that night?
00:53:44.130 -->
00:53:45.994are you like waking up your baby, are you like?
00:53:46.637 -->
00:53:49.672you know, it just seems, it seems very staged.
00:53:49.672 -->
00:53:50.614Yeah, it's not genuine.
00:53:50.614 -->
00:54:03.978I mean, I don't feel, I feel like any, like, oh, this is my day they're like turn to the camera, be like yeah, when they, when they wake up and someone's already recording them, like, yeah, that's obviously staged, that's not when you woke up.
00:54:03.978 -->
00:54:06.490Yeah, like I could do without the dramatics.
00:54:06.490 -->
00:54:10.561I agree with you, it's a little okay, we see what you're doing here.
00:54:10.561 -->
00:54:12.313It just feels invasive to me.
00:54:12.355 -->
00:54:33.894When it comes to the kids, though, and I don't know I don't have kids, so like I can't talk, but it just feels like some things like, but then again, okay, so let's play devil's advocate, right, if you are sitting?
00:54:33.894 -->
00:54:35.733At home and you're nursing your kid through the night and you see an influencer that you like also doing it.
00:54:35.733 -->
00:54:36.528Okay, you, for a half a second, don't feel as alone.
00:54:36.528 -->
00:54:36.574I don't know.
00:54:36.483 -->
00:54:37.831I feel like there's good to it, but I do understand the cringy aspect of it.
00:54:37.831 -->
00:54:44.251And listen, if I was getting paid by a brand to be my, I'd record all night it's exactly what I just said to you and you said now, did I not?
00:54:44.532 -->
00:54:45.293am I hallucinating?
00:54:45.293 -->
00:54:51.204Today, I feel like this podcast has been a lot of oh, did you want to hold my hand Hallucinating?
00:54:51.204 -->
00:55:20.809Listen, I don't have necessarily a cringey trend, but I just have something that I feel like is the absolute worst, and again it's like revolving around intimate moments and everything, but I just when you go to a wedding, there is a professional photographer and videographer on site put your phone down grandma june is not going to have like any sort of footage that is so captivating that she needs to have her iphone 4 out to capture it.
00:55:21.152 -->
00:55:31.260It bums me out when I go to weddings and it's just like I'm thinking of the professional photo of the bride walking to the love of her life and someone just right in the aisle puts their cell phone.
00:55:31.280 -->
00:55:36.217Like put your phone away, you guys it's like, first of all, respect the bride and groom.
00:55:36.217 -->
00:55:42.960Second, just like also respect the photographer that they paid thousands of dollars to show up and shoot this for, right.
00:55:42.960 -->
00:55:49.643And also, when you get the photos back, you don't want a million iphones in the photo, you want the people that you love, right?
00:55:49.643 -->
00:56:04.280I don't know if that's a trend, I don't know if that fits the absolute worst category that you're asking for, but I do feel like it's such a bummer that we've just lost all secrecy or all privacy and like, yes, I could play devil's advocate all day and think of the other side.
00:56:11.289 -->
00:56:13.717I know it's important here, but I just like just there should be some things where you put your phone down.
00:56:13.717 -->
00:56:14.983Yeah, now there's the last couple of ways I've been to.
00:56:14.983 -->
00:56:17.170The priest will walk down the aisle or somebody be like um, please, everybody, turn your phones off.
00:56:17.269 -->
00:56:32.336The bride and the groom have asked that nobody takes photos or videos and I think that that is a very easy request for your guests to follow, and if they cannot, you shouldn't be allowed to participate that's what we're doing, yeah telling everyone to stop.
00:56:32.436 -->
00:56:34.121Yeah, it's, it's you guys, we got it.
00:56:34.121 -->
00:56:35.403We got it.
00:56:35.403 -->
00:56:36.813This person does this for a living.
00:56:36.813 -->
00:56:38.117We're gonna have the most beautiful photos.
00:56:38.117 -->
00:56:40.193I will send them to you the second I have them.
00:56:40.193 -->
00:56:41.317Please put your phone down.
00:56:41.317 -->
00:56:56.909And the other thing that goes with that is that you know, grandma june has absolutely no boundaries and she's posting a picture of you at the aisle while you're still in the aisle, like you know that that's real-time Facebook updating for her and all her girls to see, and it's just like, bro, let me have five minutes of a wedding.
00:56:56.909 -->
00:56:58.356It's the highlight of Grandma June's month.
00:56:58.489 -->
00:57:10.505Listen, I know I'm not shitting on Grandma June, but it's just like come on, give us a sec, let us have this moment, and I and I also just feel like that contributes to me not wanting to have a wedding I know that sounds, as you would say, dramatic, but I'm okay with being dramatic.
00:57:10.525 -->
00:57:11.485So does that happen every time?
00:57:11.485 -->
00:57:13.286Like every wedding, someone's like got a phone out?
00:57:13.567 -->
00:57:17.188yes, yeah oh yeah, and I feel like it's only uptick over.
00:57:17.188 -->
00:57:18.873You know, obviously everybody has a phone.
00:57:18.873 -->
00:57:29.050Now we're for sure it's just a bummer, because I feel like the wedding industry in general has changed so much that now we're adding like oh so now we have our semi-professional photographers.
00:57:29.050 -->
00:57:31.675It's like no, you know, that's a bad photo.
00:57:31.675 -->
00:57:33.659Just let us do it, let us live.
00:57:33.699 -->
00:57:40.251Let us be in love what do you got easton, anything on instagram that you see you're like I could do without that uh the day in the life videos?
00:57:40.733 -->
00:57:43.219don't give a shit yeah, I don't care.
00:57:43.239 -->
00:57:46.373You don't care what their day is like from morning to sun, up to sundown.
00:57:46.373 -->
00:57:47.356I don't care, all All right.
00:57:47.416 -->
00:57:54.210Especially when you can tell it's reenacted and you actually just stage the entire thing and just say, okay, yeah, I don't think anyone cares Noted.
00:57:54.952 -->
00:57:55.514That's a good one.
00:57:55.514 -->
00:57:57.130That's a good one, Lox.
00:57:57.130 -->
