Election/Olympics Edition - Emergency Pod

with my R six Cobalt. By the way, is Cobalt a sponsor of this show? Because they should be, Man, I love my twenty twenty three Cobalt are six all right? Anyway, So I had a great time with my family and friends on the lake, and now I'm back and I'm told. I'm told he was a busy month, Eddie. What I missed?

So yeah, yeah, you know, mysterious ways this is. This is a probably an unnecessary take to an assassination attempt, but you know, you think about how many Second Amendment nuts would be at this rally, and I think the lesson is that there's not enough guns. We need more guns everybody, because because clearly that didn't that didn't help

the situation. Here's another thing I'll say, when something like this happens to somebody like that, it always makes me feel good that I don't spend a fortune on security, because if somebody can can do that to a presidential candidate that has secret service, a former president of America, Then what chance do I have? None? If somebody wants to take a shot at me, it's it's it's gonna happen. So I'm you know, I'll just stick with my ring

cam and hope for the best. Anyway, you know, good job to everyone on his security team, and your medals and walking papers are in the mail. I right, they didn't do a good job. All right? Did I miss anything else?

is eligible to run again in twenty twenty eight. Technically, yeah, that'd be great. I think an older Biden, a wiser, more mature Biden. That'll be fun to watch. You know what, what really should happen? Trump should be like, Oh, because I was beating Biden, you have him drop out, so he should he should be two can play at that game? He drops out? Huh? And guess who he gets to replace him?

your chest and blow the whole community up. We'll stop making those jokes. I watched a lot of the Olympics. I'll be honest with you. I didn't tune into everything. I think some people be surprised of what I was interested what I wasn't interested in. Let me say this too, abo about the gymnastics between the male and the female. I mean, can we even call them women anymore? I mean, it's getting so complicated. Do you know what? The only difference between male and female on the floor exercises, As

far as I can tell, there's no music for the men. No, we're too manly to have music, So they take out a few of those dumb elements where you're like, after or Simone Biles does twenty flips in the air, you know, then she has to strike a pose and do some weird dance for five seconds. They don't do that, and then there's no music in the men and the men do like one little you know, break dance routine, But for the most part, it's just get to the corners. Run and do a bunch of flips and try to

stick it and not go out of bounds. And I just I can't help but think in my head, they're like, why can't the men like I don't think, Oh, why do the women have to have music? Oh? Because they want to make it sexier for the women and men. They want to make it cooler, Like, we don't need music, we're not dancing, we're too cool for that. I disagree. I think we need music for both of them. I think, yeah, let's take off a tenth. If you don't shake your hips, fellas, shake your hips about surfing.

two point fives is because the waves suck. This. You know, if you're watching a basketball game and a team isn't scoring, the announcers aren't like constantly reminding you these are the greatest athletes in the world. They're like, ah, these guys suck right now, this is a boring game, Charles Barkley. But this is unwatchable. So when it's you know, head high and choppy, I'm not excited to see women's pro surfing and chopu when the scores are three point four. Oh,

somebody didn't catch a wave. That happened multiple times, like somebody like didn't catch a wave. No sets came in. Oh that was a fun thirty minutes, wasn't it. Imagine if you're in track and field and they're like, well, I'm sorry, there's there's no track for you, and laying four none didn't come, so deal with it. Here's another thing. So it was into heating and it was at this famous break that is very dangerous when it's big and heavy,

but they always do this in serve. It's surfing. Though the announcer is big, the water is only one inch deep, and only these people can surf this and it's not true. It's just not true. Yes, when that place is firing, the lineup thins out. But the reality is all these places that they try to pretend are so impossible to surf. If there's not a pro contest, there's two hundred people out surfing there and they're having fun and they're not dying.

On every wave it's one inch deep. If that person goes one more foot, their leg would be cut off. Shut up. There's a million other reasons I can explain why it's bad. Nobody watched it. Who has that kind of time? So it's at one break and then there's two people in water at a time. Imagine if they held the Olympics tennis tournament, but you only played it on one court and that's how long it was. Oh okay, does anybody have fourteen hours today to kill to watch

this like it's it's nonsense. Tennis gets it right. If there's a star player, you get to play on the best court at the best time, and they don't care that it's not a complete even playing field, that some other random guy plays some side court that nobody's watching. Whatever surfing needs to adapt that they need to be like, Okay,

here's the marquee players. They get to surf this break at this time, and it all happens at one time, and the rest of the people are at some crappy beach break down the street, like like get it going. Oh I honestly, I can go on. I watched the tennis and I was furious at the finals for men's where Alcarez choked away two tie breakers. You had Djokovic's number and then ugh and then he and then to watch him fake weep on the court like he's just

so calculated. I don't buy it for second. That's the problem. I watched the Olympics and then I just become a hater. I don't want to be a hater. Another thing I'm gonna say about the Olympics. I mean, I'm on a crazy tear here. All medals aren't the same, can we agree? Simone wins a medal, Wow, amazing And the parents and the sacrifices that they went through for this, that's amazing.

But when I watch it and I got to read it to make sure kayak cross small, no I that looked for It's a race in this this kayak race, and it's four people and they're in this this little box that's fifteen feet in the air, and then it when it starts, it tilts down and the four kayakers fall off this thing fifteen feet high and fall into this little makeshift river. And then they all paddle like crazy and you know, bang into each other, and somebody

misses a turn and the race is over. I'm just like, come on, I'm not I don't want to see the story of what your parents sacrificed for this forty year old guy to kayak this stupid little river. I wouldn't get emotional. My kid did it for my country and kayak cross small. Come at me in the comments about that one about justifying how important it is to some country. By the way, did flag football start in the Olympics.

here's what I didn't understand about it. When he would take his glasses off, I mean just immediately like aw, and then he does the routine. I'm like, well, keep your glasses on, or get some contacts. You might you might instead of bronze, maybe you're getting silver. If you could see it, I almost felt like he was hamming it up. You think he was hamming it up. I think so. I think he was hamming it up. So anyway, the Olympics, they were great. When do real sports start?
