Starting point is 00:01:04 marriage, friendships, and more. Unfiltered, of course. A mom friend that wants to feel less alone in all of her seasons of life. If this is you, let's be friends. Come on over and listen to Mama Knows wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back to another episode of Balancing Act. And today Luke and I are both here and we're really sorry about last week guys. But we have my bestie of all times. Who's that?
Starting point is 00:01:44 Who would that be? Zachary Wickham. Everyone recognizes that voice. Let's be honest. I don't know what you're talking about. So we're going to have so much fun today because it's the mother effing Olympics. And there's so much fun going on in the Olympics. Plus, we just want to talk to you about some funny news,
Starting point is 00:02:05 our daily scroll, some pop culture, and... Wait, what did you just say? The daily scroll? Yes. Is that something new for us? Do you scroll in the morning? Actually, I don't typically. Okay, well then you don't get to be included. Zach and I will discuss that.
Starting point is 00:02:20 He's like, I'm taking a technology break. Yeah, good for you. It sounds so boring. I know. I'm raw dogging over here. Is that why you don't know a lot about the Olympics right now? Because you've been raw dogging, as the kids say. Don't say as the kids say. It's a trend right now. You know what raw dogging means to me? Let's just start there. Raw dogging means have sex without a condom.
Starting point is 00:02:41 That's what it means. It doesn't mean, oh my God, I like went to the park for two hours and I didn't bring my phone. Well, number one, the trend is raw dogging an event, raw dogging whatever, whether it be technology or like Ryan Felipe had a really funny one where he was like, I'm raw dogging this concert, no drugs, no alcohol, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:03:03 Like it's just raw dogging life. So like taking away- like, yeah, exactly. Or taking the creature comforts out of it. So like when you're on a plane, what makes it more comfortable? Technology, obviously like food, drinks, you know, having the air conditioning. So you take, take all your. What the fuck would I want to do that? It sounds horrific.
Starting point is 00:03:22 Horrific. I don't know, but. The best part about being on an airplane is having air conditioning and food and drinks, sleep and watching a bunch of movies. No, the best part about an airplane is getting where you're going faster than driving. I disagree because I really enjoy...
Starting point is 00:03:39 I love airplane life. Me too. I love airports. First class, okay, it's a little different. Everything about them. Why would you want. Okay, it's a little different. Everything about them. Why would you want to think it's not even fun? Raw dogging sex, that's fun.
Starting point is 00:03:51 The trend. I think everybody lies about it because the one guy actually had to do it because his seat was broken and his phone died. So this was a Delta 9-hour international flight and his TV was broken for the entire time, and he threw a fit, and they called it raw dogging his flight. I don't call that raw dogging, but I would be fucking pissed. Because I don't know how much that flight cost. But I mean, you get the thing.
Starting point is 00:04:17 Like, you get it that it is raw dogging. I just, why can't you just say, like, we don't have technology? Because it's funner to say it this way, Kristen. It's not more fun to say it that way. We need Zach to keep us up with the Zillennials or Gen Z or what do we call them? Alphas. Just any, oh my God, you guys hurt my soul. Wait, is the next generation called Beta? Like what's going on?
Starting point is 00:04:37 No. Omega? Well, I just hate all of you so much. Yeah, it does pain me sometimes because like, I don't know if you guys just don't pay attention to anything going on ever that's like outside of your realm of things, but like, you didn't even know like Brat Summer, you didn't know. Okay, like can we talk about the whole Brat thing?
Starting point is 00:04:59 Because this is very confusing to me. I do feel like one of the much old, I don't want to be rude and say elderly, but like the way older anchor people that are talking about this. I'm sitting here at 41 feeling like I'm in my late 20s still. And I'm like, what the fuck is brat? And I don't understand. That's why I'm trying. I'm trying to keep you up on it. Explain to us brat. Is it an acronym? No.
Starting point is 00:05:23 Are we talking about sausages on the grill? No. Okay. Wow. we talking about sausages on the grill? No. Wow. Not talking about brat dolls. Okay, I'm just going to stop you before you embarrass yourself anymore. So, Charlie XCX released an album and the album... It's called Brat.
Starting point is 00:05:36 It's called Brat. There you go. But it's genius because it's just like a lime green cover with just the word brat on it. Now that font has gone so viral and everything's brat. It's Br like a lime green cover with just the word Brat on it. Now that font has gone so viral and everything's Brat. It's Brat Summer. I need to Google this genius thing. Listen, it is just so viral because it is so simple and easy. And then the album itself was really good and kind of goes back to like good pop, I
Starting point is 00:06:02 guess. And so it just caught on and everybody really ran with it. Do you know what brat actually means? Here's what it means. Charlie summed up the nature of the bratosphere in a TikTok interview. You're just like that girl who is a little messy and likes to party and maybe says some dumb things sometimes, who feels herself, but maybe also has a breakdown but kind of like parties through it. So me, you. I mean, I don't understand the brat part though.
Starting point is 00:06:29 It's just what she came up with. It's like, you know, it's a new word for something. How young is Charlie X? I don't know, but whatever. It's like, it's gone so viral and I love it because even, and I don't know who the intern for Kamala Harris is, but dear Lord, they ran with the brat colors and everything, and it has gone so viral all over Twitter.
Starting point is 00:06:51 Because they want the kids to vote, which I'm with. And they are hooked. I feel like they found the right thing to get them out. That is the font? That is the font in the ugly lime green color? Yeah, because it's so ugly, and it's so like just whatever, That is the font? That is the font in the ugly lime green color? Yeah, because it's so ugly and it's so like just whatever. That's why it's so...
Starting point is 00:07:11 Why it's so viral? Yeah. That's sus to me. Sometimes when you take things down to its most simplistic form, that's when things hit. Okay, so as someone who is obsessed with fonts and works in the font industry because I have James May, I fucking hate this font, and I fucking hate that color.
Starting point is 00:07:29 That's the point. No cap, no cap. Did I use it right? Oh my God. Oh my God, was that Baby's first no cap? You could just say cap, by the way. Cap, okay, perfect. Doesn't cap mean lie?
Starting point is 00:07:43 No cap's like no lie, I'm not lying. Like no bullshit. That's why I was agreeing with you. When you said it's awful, I said no cap. I did it right, right? Yeah, you did it. Okay, perfect. That worked.
Starting point is 00:07:53 I'm hip. Wow, trying. I miss the 90s so much. I really miss the 90s, you guys. Yeah, 10 years ago. It does feel like 10 years. 25 years ago. Shut the fuck up. Shut your fucking dirty mouth. Yeah, you years ago. It does feel like 10 years. 25 years ago. Shut the fuck up. Shut your fucking dirty mouth.
Starting point is 00:08:07 Yeah, you whore. How dare you say that out loud. Alright, well listen. If Brat and Ugly Lime Green get the kiddos to vote... We're down. ...then I'm super down. I'm so down. As long as they just get out and register and do something.
Starting point is 00:08:21 Yeah. That's enough politics for me. Let's go to the Olympics. What do you guys think? By the way, the Olympics for me. Let's go to the Olympics. What do you guys think? By the way, the Olympics are my favorite thing. I love the Olympics. Summer Olympics are my favorite thing because of gymnastics, specifically. Mine is gymnastics and swimming, specifically.
Starting point is 00:08:35 And then there's always that, I feel like every Olympic cycle, there's that one sport that nobody knew about, cared about, whatever, that just all of a sudden becomes like- The shooting. Is the shooting it for you? Exactly. This summer, everybody is obsessed with what is it called? It's sharp shooting. Sharp shooting. It's this air gun pistol shooting at 10 meters,
Starting point is 00:08:53 the Turkish guy, that's what made it go viral. Oh, it was so, no, but even before he did his, it's the, there's a South Korean, the way she did it was so gangster. And then there's a guy from, I don't, I can't remember where he did like this lean back. It almost looked like he was just like doing the bend and snap. Like that should be, that could be the new TikTok dance. Probably.
Starting point is 00:09:15 His lean back. But I think the thing about the Turkish guy, and I'm sorry that I don't know his name, probably couldn't pronounce it anyway, is that he looks so gangster because when I started watching the sharp shooting, Luke and I did, like, online in the last few days, he doesn't have all these special, like, cover my eye with this, like, clockwork orange type shit that they're covering their faces with. They have a lot of gear. Yeah, and he just has, like, tiny little earplugs, nothing more, nothing less.
Starting point is 00:09:44 And he had one hand in his pocket, like he was listening to Alanis Morris, that one hand in my pocket. He must have really taken that to the extreme because he just had one hand and he was like, I got this. And then he just gets silver just like so easily. It's crazy. And so the reason we didn't obviously, we think that this all went viral is Zach and I were very unsure that this was even an Olympic sport. And so there were all these rumors online that this guy just like jumped in.
Starting point is 00:10:14 He's never shot before in his life in the Olympics, but this is all untrue. Fake news. I'm like, guys, we and I'm guilty guilty of it sometimes too, but I try to not disseminate. Yeah, I try to debunk. Do your research if you see something, because guys, there's so much fake news out there. Yeah, and it's a funny antidote, but sometimes even big news outlets don't catch on that it is not, that that statement was not real.
Starting point is 00:10:40 He's how old? 51? 51. And he's done every Olympics since 2008. Which is so crazy. That's what I've read. Absolutely wild. And he's won a lot of medals in other things like the European Championships, the ISSF World Championships, but this is his first Olympic medal. Oh, so he had never medaled before.
Starting point is 00:10:59 But how did none of us know this was even a thing? Because nobody was making it look cool. There was like five people that all of a sudden they were just like all characters and literally it's like straight out of a video game. Like him, it's totally a personality and a character. The lady from South Korea, totally a character. It's just when those things all come together, then that's why we focus so much on that sport. Because it...
Starting point is 00:11:24 Why isn't bowling an Olympic sport? Are you sure it isn't? I'm almost positive it isn't. Actually, if you didn't know, sports come in and out of being in the Olympics. So until 1928 or 32, I can't remember the exact date, they had drawing as an Olympic sport, and then that stopped.
Starting point is 00:11:43 Sometimes a sport will be in the Olympics one year and not the next. Like break dancing was in, this was their first time ever being in it. But like baseball isn't, because baseball's only played in Japan and America. America, right. Football is only played in America, so it's not an Olympic sport. Cheerleading is only Japan and America. So it's like, even though it's huge in certain places, it's not, it has to have a percentage of worldwide
Starting point is 00:12:08 of how many countries do it. Totally. That makes perfect sense. So let's talk about our celebrated Americans. Simone motherfucking Biles. I mean, can we? Oh my God. Every routine.
Starting point is 00:12:22 27 years old. Just got her 10th. Eighth? Ninth? Well, cause she just got one today. So I don't know what we're up to. Let's look. You look.
Starting point is 00:12:33 I just love that she is the only person that has won an all around twice with the Olympics in between. 10 years apart. 10 Olympic medals. 30 World Championship medals, three golds right now. In 2024, I mean, the three golds are just right now in 2024. Exactly. But in Tokyo, when she had that, when she realized that she overextended on her vault
Starting point is 00:13:00 and she was like, couldn't get out of her head, I think it was the bravest thing she could ever do to have to step back because she was like, couldn't get out of her head. I think it was the bravest thing she could ever do to have to step back because she was like, I literally am going to, I could kill myself. Like I could, I could land on my neck and die. And putting your mental health first, especially as an Olympic athlete, it takes so much mental capacity and everything.
Starting point is 00:13:22 I think that really set a precedent that we need to protect our athletes and our, um, you know what I mean? Like they need to put their mental health first, no matter, like it doesn't matter. Like I know there was a lot of people like, Oh, you've got to put your country first. Like they always did. Carrie's drug broker. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:39 Then she could never compete again because she had already destroyed her entire, whatever that ankle and ligament was, because she did that fault. She should never have done that fault. I love that she is kind of making that a national topic, like a conversation. Absolutely. And let's talk about her amazing caption. She actually has a lot of amazing captions. She is just as shady as I am. I love to know that there's a fellow shady queen in the conversation. Yes. And that was just so epic responding to... Micaela Skinner.
Starting point is 00:14:13 Because Micaela Skinner had said something about work ethic or lack of work ethic, laziness. I actually don't know. And the talent pool wasn't that good except for Simone Biles. But also like Simone's like, why would you shade all the people that I'm with that are working really hard? Like that makes no sense. And when she won and posted, what was the exact caption?
Starting point is 00:14:34 Are you looking it up? Yeah, I am. Simone Biles' caption was, lack of talent, lazy Olympic champions. Bam. Mic drop. And then the other Michaela Marela, Michaela Moroni, Moroni wrote basically it was
Starting point is 00:14:47 something along the lines of like she fucked around and found out for real. And then she says she something about she didn't want her like first name being shaded or had to share first name. It was so perfect. And then and then Simone Biles shared that she was like, oh, I got
Starting point is 00:15:03 blocked. Did she? Yeah. Oh, myop, I got blocked. Did she? Yeah. Oh my God, I didn't know that. It's so good. It's so good. It's exactly what I want out of my Olympic athletes. I want them to be just as shady as I am. Did you see what she did on,
Starting point is 00:15:14 what she wrote on Twitter as well, Simone Biles? No, what she put right. I love my black job. Oh yeah, I was like, mic drop. Oh, that is, yes, dude. She just, she wins. She wins at everything. She wins at everything.
Starting point is 00:15:27 She's just so amazing. And I'm not, I do want to talk about for just one second. So her husband is an NFL football player. And there was a photo that went really viral of the two of them together. They've been married I think two years and he's wearing her medal. And he's saying like how proud he is of her etc. And there was a lot of shade and it went pretty viral, a lot of shade thrown at him. And even, I'm not gonna lie, I told Luke about it and I'm like there was all the shade thrown at
Starting point is 00:15:54 him. Now I did not, I kind of didn't really think either way about it. I don't think he was trying to like take her success but she commented on her own post that people were going nuts on him like, oh, you didn't win that medal, bro. Like why are you talking about that medal, bro? And she went batshit on people and said that she puts her medal on every single one of her family members and takes a photo with them. And she was like, y'all just leave us the fuck alone or something like that. When people, when the herd of the internet gets together
Starting point is 00:16:29 and decides they either like or hate or want to go after something, it's next level sometimes. Like, it is crazy. Yeah. Do you guys know how tall Simone Biles is? Four foot ten. Four seven. Four eight. Oh, so far. You guys were so close.
Starting point is 00:16:47 I didn't realize she was that tiny. She's so tiny, that's so tiny. Can you imagine standing next to her, Zach? You're six four. I couldn't. Do you see how high she gets? Her vertical, her power, it is like unprecedented. Just a little four eight body.
Starting point is 00:17:01 That's so crazy. Just a complete ball of muscle. It's insane. What if a shoe could infinitely enhance your day? Introducing the Vionic Walk Max Sneaker. For him. And her. Perfect for all day wear, staying active,

Oh, that was during the Tokyo one, right? Yeah, and they said they didn't want athletes to have sex, so they had cardboard beds. And then, so, but this year...
Starting point is 00:21:20 Their food was horrific. Horrific. It's just like, just some country, there was no air conditioning. I would have died immediately. Just kill me now. You would have just dropped out of the Olympics. I would have just dropped out. I've been like, you know what? I tried really hard, but this ain't it.
Starting point is 00:21:36 Some countries actually shipped in air conditioning units for their athletes. So like America did that for their athletes, but there's other countries that did not do that. So they just were in these hot-ass fucking... Sweatboxes. Sweatboxes. And all the beds were made out of cardboard. Most of my furniture was made out of... Yeah, like IKEA.
Starting point is 00:21:54 Yeah. It's still cardboard, but it was really funny because that just went viral and they were like, oh, everybody doesn't want athletes to have sex. Meanwhile, the Paris Olympics are handing out 300,000 condoms. I think it's food, shelter, water, and condoms are what they have to provide. I think that's smart though. Wait, but why condoms?
Starting point is 00:22:14 Because they're a bunch of testosterone and like everyone works out constantly all the time. They have this pent up energy and it's like a release. I've heard it's like, there are orgies that happen. Who are they having sex with? A what? Athletes from other countries and everything. Are you kidding me? It is a hotbed. Have you not seen, like TikToks have gone viral
Starting point is 00:22:32 talking to just about like how crazy and like sex-driven the Olympic Village is? Because think about this, you're there. I wish everyone could see my face right now. My jaw is on the floor. I have never once thought about who's having sex as far as Olympic athletes are concerned. This is all I ever think about. I just figure they're literally just focusing on their sport.
Starting point is 00:22:51 But that's the thing. The sports, so you have two weeks or however long the full time is, your event or whatever might not be till the last day, or it might be the first day, or it might be whatever. Then you're just there, and you're just like, bop bop bop, you know or it might be whatever. Then you're just there and you're just like, you know, but you're bopping around. I mean, you don't train the entire time that you're just plenty of time for. Pulling around like it doesn't take that long. You're not training 24 seven. I mean, they have their patterns. These are the best athletes in the world.
Starting point is 00:23:21 They have their patterns down. They know their weekly routine to be able to peak at the right time so that there's no soreness, they feel loose, they feel their best possible self going into an event. And that usually is like a day of rest with minimal movement and some stretching, like warm up and maybe jog a mile and you know you're ready to rock. Like with swimming it's called tapering and you taper right before. If you think about the sharpshooter, he probably has a lot of extra time on his hands. Yeah, like he ain't shooting, you know what I mean, that's true. If you think about the sharpshooter, he probably has a lot of extra time on his hands. Yeah, like, he ain't shooting, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:23:47 My brain just goes like, gymnast. Yeah, but even them, they're not gonna wear out their bodies right before a routine. Too shabby. Exactly. Yeah, same with swimming. And I also had to look at, oh, speaking of swimming, let's go there really quick. Let's talk about good old Katie.
Starting point is 00:24:03 Katie Ledecky. The female, I don't even wanna, I hate saying the female Michael Phelps, but it's only because Michael Phelps came first. Like that's the only reason we say. Well, they were together. Right. But meaning he's she was in a lot of his Olympics and she's still going. Touché. But he is the most celebrated. Decorated.
Starting point is 00:24:22 Decorated. Because he won the most. Most medals. It's what 23 we looked looked at 23 gold, 28 medals total. Correct. Yeah. And I don't know what Katie's is, but it doesn't matter. But we watched her 1500. The heat, it wasn't the final. But the heat. Correct.
Starting point is 00:24:39 When she was 17 seconds ahead. She's a second ahead in the first lap and just adds a second every single lap. 17 seconds. She looks back and is like, where is everyone? It was when she finishes the heat. Wild. It's so wild. And I don't know if you all knew she holds the top 20.
Starting point is 00:24:55 I'm sure it's probably like top 30 or 40 at this point, but the top 20 fastest times in history. So she has the world record, Olympic record, and top 20. So like, that means someone has to have, go up 20 spots or more to even get in to the same level as her. It's crazy. Before we started recording,
Starting point is 00:25:16 we were talking about when we were little and we would watch the Olympics and how, it's like kind of also like if we want to go viral, like a trend on Instagram and TikTok right now where it's like kind of also like if we want to go viral, like a trend on Instagram and TikTok right now where it's like me watching the Olympics and like feeling like I could do what they do as adults. But really when we were younger, I remember watching Dominique Motiano. She was 14 years old.
Starting point is 00:25:37 I believe the youngest gymnastics Olympian at that time. Yeah. Yeah. Right. And I was 13. and I was convinced that I too. In one year. Yeah, I was like, mom, if I start like practicing right now, can I, I couldn't even do a backbend by the way. And I was a cheerleader, but I was like,
Starting point is 00:25:57 do you think I could be Dominique Moccian? And your mom was like, get the fuck out of here. She was like, honey, go in the basement and just practice. That sounds good. Do you want some flour for your hands? honey, go in the basement and just practice. That sounds good. Do you want some flour for your hands? You can like pretend you're doing the vault. That's great. Put your leotard on, like have at it.
Starting point is 00:26:12 Zach, you wanted to be what, a swimmer? Yeah. Or gymnast? No, well, I fell in love with the Olympics at the 96 Olympics with Dominique Daz. The Magnificent Seven. Yeah, the Magnificent Seven, obviously. But then I was a swimmer.
Starting point is 00:26:27 That became my sport. And in high school, I was like, okay, I can do this. I'll just pick an event that I can just keep whittling down my time or whatever. And I wanted to swim in college. I mean, I was good, but it was never going to get to Olympic level. But it was my, well, I actually had like a notebook and I had all the days until the 2000 Olympics, which I was only, I don't, I don't know. 14.
Starting point is 00:26:55 I was young. So I was, and Michael Phelps was in the 2000 Olympics as a 14 year old swimming in his first, um, he qualified for the 100 meter butterfly. So his first was the 2000 Olympics, which is crazy to think about. But that was also like Leni Kraselberg. And when I say this was like, those were like some of my sexual awakening was like Leni Kraselberg. Who else was in that Olympics? I don't even know.
Starting point is 00:27:19 But like that entire team was just like very, very pretty. And I was like, I want to be a swimmer. Can we talk about a couple of hot people in the Olympics then? That entire team was just like very, very pretty. And I was like, I want to be a swimmer. Can we talk about a couple of hot people in the Olympics then? Because speaking of swimmers, let's talk about like the new like, Hamaconda French guy with his little Speedos who has... They all wear Speedos.
Starting point is 00:27:36 You mean the one that looked invisible? The one that looked real nice in his Speedos. Oh, I haven't even heard about that one. Are you joking? I thought you said he was French. I thought, hold on. I said the pole vaulter is French and his Speedos. You want me in a Speedo, honey? That's actually what I heard. It's a pole vaulter from France and his dick took out the pole. Literally he's now the most famous French Olympian. If he dropped an OnlyFans tomorrow, he'd be a millionaire. No doubt. Who's the hot guy I'm talking about?
Starting point is 00:28:25 In swimming? Hottest Olympian. He got a free, he just got offered free underwear for life. There's an Italian, I don't know, the Italian team has also gone viral because they're very, very hot. It's this guy, I'm showing you the picture. Oh, he's a diver.
Starting point is 00:28:41 That's why I'm sorry. So he's a diver. Jules Bouillard, 22 years old, went viral this week for his tiny swimming trunks because you guys can google it. The front ain't so tiny. That looks like he's- Looks like he's hard.
Starting point is 00:28:56 That's why I said hamaconda. It looks like he's, exactly, but it, mm-mm. That's why. You know that can happen. Do you ever take pre-workout when you go to the gym as a vasodilator, this nitric oxide, right? That can increase blood flow all over the body. So if that is something legal for competing, possibly it just added some blood flow down there, you know?
Starting point is 00:29:13 Still looks really bad. What it's being said on the internet. That angle looks like he twisted into a pretzel. Literally. Yeah, so on the internet it's being said that his trunks, his speedos were just so small. Me thinks they fit just fine. Yeah, they fit just fine and that is a big old dick. And he did, I guess he did respond and he was like,
Starting point is 00:29:32 well people wanna talk about that rather than my diving, like that's on them. You know, your diving's great. I know, I kind of hate that we objectify athletes like this but then at the same time I'm like, but do I? Just saying, you're really good looking. Yeah. The French pole vaulter that is now so famous,
Starting point is 00:29:49 his name is Anthony Amarati. Yeah. I don't know anything about this pole vaulter. He could have meddled, but his junk caught the pole. He was going over and knocked it off. That's the only thing it touched was his junk. Why don't they wear like a cup or like tuck it or something? Do you want to see the video?
Starting point is 00:30:09 I mean, it's, I mean, I guess you could, but who thinks that their dick is going to be like, well, I mean, I guess he should know because it. It's his dick. But, but I mean that, that dick took out that pole. I can't wait to watch this. No, it's great though. You definitely uncomfortable. It pulls the pole down and it makes it pop off and bounce. But now he's one of the most famous people in the world for, um, not winning It's super tight, but it's not like taped to his butthole. He didn't like tuck it and tape it. Yeah, also I don't know how you run.
Starting point is 00:30:46 Exactly, that's what I'm saying. I don't think you could like. Do you think they're allowed to for the next Olympics, tuck it and tape it to his butthole? Again, I don't think it would even work. It's a sprint before you hit the pole. So you can't, you couldn't sprint like that. You just put it to the side or you put it like.
Starting point is 00:31:00 I don't have a penis, that's why I'm asking you guys. I do not have a penis, so I can only ask questions and imagine. Correct. So we're telling you, you cannot do that and run at that speed. You just gotta, or whatever. But like, I'm sure normally he can get, you know,
Starting point is 00:31:16 what, another inch over the thing, or like, couple centimeters. It was just funny because his dick literally just like took it out. Has he made like a public comment or done an interview? Not yet, because I think it just happened. I'm dying to see what that person... Twitter and like everything, everything is just hundreds of thousands of likes and
Starting point is 00:31:36 millions of views on it. And like the jokes are just endless. It's so funny. Oh my God, I love it. And then really quickly, we'll kind of to wrap up the Olympics. Oh my God, I love it. And then really quickly, we'll kind of, to wrap up the Olympics, I know I'm going to just destroy his last name. I call him Stephen Pommel Horse, but Stephen Nedorshik? Nedo-orshik? I want to say. I think that's how we... Something like that. Sorry, Stephen, if you ever listen to this podcast. if you ever listen to this podcast. Absolutely brilliant. I did not know that he was cross-eyed
Starting point is 00:32:08 and that was why he wears his glasses right up until and then takes them off and that's why he sits there with his eyes closed. He sits pre doing the pommel horse when he's going to compete. He sits there for two hours. I think it's like some insane amount of time with his eyes closed to prepare and like get ready
Starting point is 00:32:26 and in the zone and like, I don't know what it does for him but he has to like really get there because of it. I can't even imagine doing the pommel horse with absolutely perfect vision, let alone. Right. And I don't think we had meddled in the pommel horse in like forever and yes, he came in third and then the Irish came in first
Starting point is 00:32:45 and they were like, they were like shading them and they were like, oh America, how do you like ours? Cause then he won and I was like, excuse me, how dare you. Before we wrap up the Olympics though, I've got to talk about the men's skeet shooting, which is shotguns plays. So Vincent Hancock for the US one and CL Prince one second. We got gold and silver and skeet shooting.
Starting point is 00:33:07 This is a sport I did growing up competitively at 15 or 16. I'll have to look back. I got recruited to train in Colorado Springs for the Olympics and I just couldn't afford it at the time. Oh, I was like, did you fuck it up? No, I couldn't afford it at the time. It was following a big, I want a big tournament and then they reached out and were like, hey, love to see what you got. That does suck that like being that level of athlete
Starting point is 00:33:32 requires so much money. It does. No matter what sport it is. Yeah. It does. I mean, that sport specifically, I mean, you have to, you're paying for the clay targets you're shooting and the-
Starting point is 00:33:42 Well, just the coaching. Firearm, the coaching and the ammunition. I mean, just your practice. I mean, you're shooting and the the ammunition. I mean just your practice. I mean you're spending, I think I was spending like 50 bucks a week as a teenager on practice, which was a lot of money as a teenager. I'm cutting grass and you know cleaning cars. On your own right. But that's not an Olympic level. Right. Sure. Absolutely. That was one practice day a week is what I'm saying. Exactly. Not every single day, which you would have to do to get to that level. That was one practice day a week, is what I'm saying. Exactly. Not every single day, which you would have to do to get to that level. And then the last thing about the Olympics really quickly, just for today anyway, Snoop Dogg.
Starting point is 00:34:15 Fucking Snoop Dogg. I like how they just said, here's Snoop Dogg, just run wild at every event, do whatever you want. The best outfits ever. Because it doesn't matter, even though he's American, I feel like he's the world's, you know, the world loves him. Like he's like a beloved world figure. Absolutely. And everybody was just so happy to have him at every event. Yeah. And it really just brought a level of, like I feel like it
Starting point is 00:34:37 brought all the countries together. Yeah, his equestrian outfit was just like next level. It was so good. You guys know Cesar Millan. He was the original host of the Emmy nominated TV series, The Dog Whisperer. He's a legendary dog behaviorist with multiple hit TV shows. He basically rehabilitates troubled dogs back to their calm, carefree nature. Well Cesar is now sharing the secrets he uses to keep his dogs healthy and happy.
Starting point is 00:35:03 The realities of US dog food may be harming your dog's health. Caesar has teamed up with Dr. Marty Goldstein, a veterinarian called The Miracle Worker by Forbes Magazine, to expose two potential red flags in most modern American dog foods. Did you know that there are four superfood ingredients that you can add to your dog's food to make them experience easier digestion, ease itchy skin, and support more youthful energy, you might even have some of these foods in your kitchen right now. In an exclusive video interview, Cesar Millan and Dr. Marty reveal these dog food secrets. After hearing some of the tips, I tried them out on my dogs, Gibson and Jill.
Starting point is 00:35:43 And after a few tries, they worked. So go to foodforpups.com slash Dodie and watch Cesar Malan's video now. Again, that is foodforpups.com slash Dodie. Really quickly, can we talk about the Bravo Olympics per Betches? Oh, wait, what? Hi, Betches. We love you. Um, I- Zach and I medaled. I just want to say that.
Starting point is 00:36:05 Listen, I've always wanted to go to the Olympics, and I guess I should have been a little bit more specific with my prayers. But winning one season in, and I already got a... Out of everybody on Bravo, all of the shows. All the duos that could have been nominated and, you know, whatever, they chose us. They chose us.
Starting point is 00:36:24 I mean, I think it's well deserved. We love you, Betches. Thanks so much for our... I do expect an actual bronze medal, so if you are hearing this, I do need that. Yeah, we'll email you our addresses to get our medals. Thank you so much. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:36:38 So in some news, I want to talk about the dude that ate 10 edibles on an American Airlines flight and tried to open the door amongst many other things. Propositioning a flight attendant, fully vaping weed, just, or I think it was weed. He was vaping in general, like outwardly yelling, singing, hitting on people, sexually propositioning a flight attendant, trying to open the door midair, and blaming it on eating 10 edibles. I mean, also, when they arrested him and took him off the plane, he was shirtless, so I don't know when he lost his shirt
Starting point is 00:37:09 during this process either. I believe it was like, it was Seattle to Dallas, and they had to stop in Utah to have him arrested. Look, my question is, what else was he on? Because I've eaten ten edibles, and I didn't get all crazy like that. You sleep, I just sleep. You sleep and you wake up and you still can't open your eyes, but you know you're awake.
Starting point is 00:37:27 You know, you go look in the mirror, you're like, what happened? Yeah, he took 10 meth edibles. Something edibles. Yeah, and he also looked out of his mind. Like, he looked crazy as he's being... But was there not an air marshal? My thing is, it takes one weird incident on a plane, they better be getting anybody off, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:37:46 Because you can't fuck with anything in the air. Because these people could open a door or, you know, do something crazy. How did they deal with this? You know what I mean? Was there an air marshal or did they have to land and then do it? Yeah, I don't think there was an air marshal, not that I read, but I could be wrong. I just know that the pilot diverted to Utah, landed there, then he got arrested, and eventually they made it.
Starting point is 00:38:11 Could you imagine being on that flight? Especially because Dallas is a connecting flight. So if you were flying Seattle to somewhere and you had Dallas as your connection, on American nonetheless, Luke hates American. I have horror stories. I mean, everyone hates American. Honestly, I do too.
Starting point is 00:38:27 American's been super shitty lately. American Airlines. Yes, American Airlines. So imagine you're flying from Seattle and you have to have a layover or a stop at Dallas and this homie pulls this shit on your flight and you stop in Utah. Now you definitely missed your connection. You're definitely stuck in Dallas for God knows how long. I have a solution to this because there have been more and more events like this in the news.
Starting point is 00:38:50 Where people are doing crazy stuff. What is your solution? All commercial flights have an ejection room. They strap a parachute on you. I'm so done with you. Decompress it and just shoot them out or down actually. They should just fire them down and the parachute automatically pops off. Then they drop them. Like the airplane waste. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:39:08 Okay, they have the timing. They know all this stuff. They have all the military, you know, coordination, yada yada. So spend a bunch of money from the military to get this dude that's fucking high. They can determine where he's gonna land. It'll be fine.
Starting point is 00:39:21 It'll be fine. Sounds totally, totally reasonable. I love it. I mean, you know, then you find a cheaper flight that is like twice as far, and then you just act a fool and they can shoot you out at your landing point. Or like, you know, like the seat. Okay, that person's being crazy.
Starting point is 00:39:38 The seat drops through to the bottom, and then you're in a cage. Oh, that's a good idea. A cargo cage? Yeah. Yeah, because dogs should be allowed to sit in seats and then put're in a cage. Oh, that's a good idea. A cargo cage? Yeah. Yeah, because dogs should be allowed to sit in seats and then put the unruly passengers in their cages. Perfect.
Starting point is 00:39:52 I like that. Okay. Yeah, my solution is a better visual. Yours is more practical. Which is usually opposite. I'm feeling very logical today. I'm the practical, logical one, typically. Okay, well, in other news, Ariana Maddox is back from Fiji.
Starting point is 00:40:09 She is in New York and back on stage in Chicago as Roxie Hart. And she will be there for what a month? A month. Another month. Yeah. And I would really, really love to go. I would love to hit up like one of her Sunday shows. I wish it were a quick trip to New York, but I'm going to try to make it happen.
Starting point is 00:40:27 I'm really going to try to make it happen. You know how many times I've flown to New York and back in one day? Every time you've ever done Watch What Happens Live. You hate being away for that. So I'm going to really try and go and see her. So if you guys have, just post all the time and support Ariana, because, dude, that's crazy. She had so much time to prep for playing Roxy last time,
Starting point is 00:40:52 and this time, I think she said it was like two days. That she had to get back into the mind frame of not only the character, the dancing, and just singing and just everything. So, Ariana, we fucking love you. You're just fucking killing it, per usual. We're also jealous that you and Katie got the gold medal the dancing and just singing and just everything. So Ariana, we fucking love you. You're just fucking killing it per usual. We're also jealous that you and Katie got the gold medal
Starting point is 00:41:10 in the duos, but that's okay. We'll let it slide. We'll let it slide for now. Aerosmith is no longer touring, which I don't know. It does not affect me whatsoever. I'm like, okay, were they touring? Yes. And they've been touring, literally,
Starting point is 00:41:25 so the band formed in 1970. I feel so fucking lucky that I was not only able to see Aerosmith live in Las Vegas a few years back because of, shout out to my friend Rihanna, who took me, not Rihanna the artist, but my friend Rihanna, who does Steven Tyler's hair. And I was able to go to that concert and meet him. But because he had terrible issues
Starting point is 00:41:48 with his vocal cords last year, they are finally done. But dude, they've been a band since 1970. How many years is that? 54 years. Okay, there we go. I didn't know if you're gonna do the same math as earlier. I know, that's what I was gonna be like 30 years. Like the 90s or 10 years ago, it's been 35 years.
Starting point is 00:42:06 We're talking about music, so. 54 years. Yeah, that's crazy. Like he's in his late 70s, killing the game. But this was their Peace Out Tour, so bye bye Aerosmith. We can just stream on through Spotify from now on, or wherever you listen to your music. That is a band I would have really enjoyed seeing. You've never seen them live?
Starting point is 00:42:28 I was gonna ask. No, I have not. Fuck, we can just watch them on YouTube now. It's all right. I caught Tom Petty at one of his last concerts. No, we caught him. You did too? I saw him at Red Rocks like a month before he died. No, we saw- We were at his second to last show.
Starting point is 00:42:42 We were at his second to last show. The last show that he had, he had like issues during it and then left and then died. We were literally at his last full show. Second to last show in the Hollywood Bowl. So then I saw him a few weeks probably before you. That's so crazy. At Red Rocks, yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:00 His last time at Red Rocks and he is in the Red Rocks Hall of Fame. He has been going there for close to 30 years. Red Rocks, you know, and we know what you're talking about. We're aware. You guys were looking at me like... No, I'm listening. Sorry, that's called engaging with you. Are you not used to me staring at you?
Starting point is 00:43:17 No. I'm dead. I'm dead. And then, Luke, how do you feel about the hottest city in America right now? I will say it doesn't surprise me. Needles, California. It's been Phoenix, though, for a very long time. I'm trying to surprise it was Phoenix, though, because I thought Death Valley... Or Phoenix or somewhere in Arizona. Oh, city. Oh, got it, got it, got it.
Starting point is 00:43:43 Hotest city in America. So Phoenix had had this lockdown for a long time. Needles, California, which is right along Interstate 40, which is on my drive between Colorado and California, back and forth. I've been trying to hit it after midnight. So it is below 105. That's how high it is in the 120s. Barf.
Starting point is 00:44:01 The average temperature, this is 24 hours a day, seven days a week for the whole month of July, average temperature was over 103. Yep. That's insane. But literally the highs during the day are like between 115 and 120. So when Luke drives from Colorado, just to repeat it, because I want to like really set it in here guys,
Starting point is 00:44:20 like how fucking hard this is, he has to actually plan his whole trip around hitting needles around like 2 a.m., right? Between midnight and 2 a.m. is what I go for, yeah. That's insane. And it's still like 100 plus. This year has been so crazy because Palm Springs broke its heat record and then three days later or a week later,
Starting point is 00:44:42 Las Vegas broke their heat record. So Palm Springs was also in the top five. Phoenix was number two, Palm Springs. Tell me climate change isn't real. Tell me one more time. Guys, we're breaking records every year, every month. So I thought that was pretty wild. It's gotten hotter and colder and more disasters. And the crazy thing with the semi trucks, what was that, a week ago now?
Starting point is 00:45:04 The semi trucks with the lithium batteries? Oh yeah, when Greg was driving back. And they exploded. Yeah, so Greg Hunter, we've mentioned a number of times. Rachel O'Brien's husband. Yes, was driving back from a job here in Los Angeles and got stuck on the I-40 because a semi truck carrying lithium batteries wrecked
Starting point is 00:45:21 and they started exploding and caught a bunch of stuff on fire. Which was actually on the I-15. It was on the 15, I don't know how he got locked up on the 40. and they started exploding and caught a bunch of stuff on fire. Which was actually on the I-15. I think he had already gotten past it. I don't fucking know. What was so crazy is where Greg's now at this point that we were speaking to Greg, he had been there like overnight, still waiting in traffic. I'm Googling, so this is again, like about a week and a half ago or so,
Starting point is 00:45:48 and I'm Googling lithium battery overturned truck. And all of a sudden, yeah, there was another one. And it was like nine minutes ago in Utah at a gas station. Another semi had overturned, like holding lithium batteries and they're so heavy, the problem is the excavator and a crane could not even lift them, right? It was like 77,000 pounds, I believe. So they would have to have an overweight permit if they wanted me to get all nerdy from my trucking days. But 70,000, or sorry, 80,000 is the max gross.
Starting point is 00:46:21 So like typically a cargo van is holding 40 to 50,000 pounds of cargo. If it was that much more, it'd be overweight, which is obviously extremely heavy. You're talking about 35 tons. Right. It's insane. I mean, we all know lithium is the best battery out there,
Starting point is 00:46:37 but they're also pretty volatile. That's why airlines don't let them on anymore. Right. So crazy. So now you know why the airlines don't let them on, guys. Well, it's 97 in the valley today, anymore. So crazy. and everything. Yeah, so I don't have to see you all when I come over. It's perfect. You mean Luke. You don't have to see Luke. Oh yeah, that. You dick.
Starting point is 00:47:08 Hey, you better be careful. This is why we came in third, okay? We got to get this shit together, Kristen. Zach, you know you don't want to sneak over. You know what you might find if you come over unannounced. Oh, I promise you, I will always announce myself. You are very correct. I do not come unannounced. But you're going to be... I do. You're getting me keyed. I was like announce myself. You are very correct. I do not come unannounced.
Starting point is 00:47:25 But you're going to be... You're getting a key. I was like, fuck. I know, you said come unannounced. Yeah, I know. I'm stupid. But you are getting a key. Yay! Obviously.
