The Welcome to Meteorote's Radio. This is Abby Martin.

And this is Robbie Martin.

So what's going on? Robbie, have you been watching the Olympics at all?

Very, very little.

Yeah.

You know, all I've heard in my little bubble is just stuff about the green water and the diving pool.

Like, this stuff about like the hygiene situation oh right right Rio you know the the sewage water and stuff but I was waiting for

a barrage of you know I was I was just noticed I was paying enough attention so I could see the

differences between the way they covered Sochi

and the way they're covering this. And it's obviously very different because, you know, as much as they're

shitting on Rio, they're still like really proud. Like we're presenting it like it's like a thing to be

proud of and it's really cool. Yeah, I haven't heard of like any scandals whatsoever with the government,

any sort of corruption with the government,

it's been completely depoliticized actually compared to Sochi, which was 100% about like

LGBTQ athletes and how there's many protests and all the Putin stuff.

It was, it really was completely the opposite, huh?

Corrupt money.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Very, very interesting.

I mean, the main thing with the Olympics that's so disgusting is you just have this massive displacement of millions of people, mostly probably villagers.
