Hi, this is Alonzo Bowden.

I want to welcome you to episode 150 of my podcast, Who's Paying Attention?

I'm going to start it out by telling you guys, I am in Olympic withdrawal.

I'm suffering.

I haven't watched a sprint all week. I haven't seen any volleyball. Not a gymnast has flipped on my TV. I don't know what to do it myself. It's been a hell of a week. Obviously, I love the Olympics. You did too. Everyone did. NBC sort of of did I guess their numbers didn't quite reach

their projection and they have to make some deals with their sponsors but enough of that the

Olympics were great they're over got to slowly get back to normal some people won't be getting

back to normal Ryan Lachtey who you know call it a lie, but Ryan said he merely over-exaggerated

the story of what happened to him. We all know the story now. Ryan Locti, the frustrated swimmer,

frustrated because he was born the same time as Michael Phelps, which means he's been swimming

for silver all his life. He got into some kind of

problem at a gas station, urinating on the wall, some kind of altercation. Who knows, ended up having to pay

for the damage he did, claimed he got robbed at gunpoint, blah, blah, blah. Well, now he's really

losing money because he's lost all his sponsors not to be

had a ton of sponsors but he had big sponsor look you're a swimmer how much money is there in swimming if

your name isn't phelps okay for the male swimmers anyway so ralph laurent dropped him speedo dropped him

when speedo dropped you and you're a swimmer then it's pretty much over

air weave a mattress company don't know why they had them in the first place but they dropped him

and the hair removal company dropped him because you know those swimmers got to stay clean so ryan

locti he's blown it his his uh endorsement deals are done.

He's a 32-year-old swimmer with a bad reputation.

I think he's going to have to learn something new.
