This is the Talking Dead, a podcast dedicated to the AMC my name is Chris and my name is Jason.

And this is the Talking Dead Number 677 recorded on July the 29th, 2024.

So, welcome to the show everyone joining me as always on the podcast is

Jason of course that's you it was a huge huge weekend this weekend, Jason.

And I'm of course talking about the fact that the Summer Olympics in Paris started.

And I can only assume that you've been spending as much time as possible watching the competition right? Oh no I I remember

watching the opening ceremonies and then I forgot all about it. Did you actually

watch them like live or just see Highlight Pack after the fact?

No, we watched them live.

Well, they went on in the background and I was looking at my phone and stuff and checking

in every once in a while going, hey, that's the's Greig guy. Isn't that Salindian?

That can't be Salindian, but it was.

It was.

It was Salindian. She closed the whole thing from a, like a balcony on the Eiffel Tower

performing, which is the first time I think in four years she's done that. on the

Iful tower performing which is the first time I think in four years. She's done that which is exciting. Yeah very good. So but none of the actual

Feats of athletic prowess you've been watching, none of the events or anything like that.

I saw a little bit of the beach volleyball. Oh, go figure. That happened to beyond Jasper was asking about the rules and I was talking about, you know, you got it, you hit it three times. It's a you bump, bump, you know, spike. Yeah, a bump, a spike kind of thing yeah a bump a set spike kind of thing so I was teaching about that and

Some synchronized diving I think that's always I was just happenstance

Turn to the TV and that was the kind of crap that was on.

My thing with the Olympics is I'm way more of a fan of the winter, which I think I've talked about on here before.

But even during the summer ones, it's the kind of thing I just will put on in the background. I don't sit and watch very much of it unless it's some very exciting event, you know, gold medal soccer game or something like that.
