| 0:02.0 | I want to ask you guys a question. |
| 0:03.2 | If you've ever claimed to be the winner of some competition or some race, even if you didn't win, I mean, it's blatant that you lost, but somehow you claim victory. And the reason I ask this is because there's a story of the winner Olympics in which a male figure skater did not win. So he got silver. He did not get gold. Okay. So it was a Russian |
| 0:22.0 | skater that lost the gold medal by a fraction of a point, okay, to an American. So the American guy |
| 0:27.2 | gets the gold. He gets the silver, right? And since then, he has been complaining about it |
| 0:32.3 | ever since. I've seen this guy in interviews like right after the race after they gave it to the |
| 0:37.0 | American dude. This was the guy saying that, you know, there has to be something done with the point system or something because he really feels like he got robbed the whole thing, right? Complain, complain, complain. Well, of course, the metal system is gold, silver, and bronze, and it's based on the value of the metal, right? Because gold is more valuable than silver and silver more valuable |
| 0:54.8 | than bronze. Well, there is something that's more valuable than gold, and that's platinum. |
| 0:59.5 | And so he has now on his website, just to declare to everybody, that he won the platinum medal |
| 1:04.1 | at the Vancouver Games in order to say that he did better than the American guy. And it's all, |
| 1:10.8 | yeah, and it's all over his website to where he's claiming, you know what? I didn't win the silver. I won the platinum. Come on. |
| 1:16.2 | Like half of the Olympics are about sportsmanship, right? |
| 1:18.9 | Yeah, right. |
| 1:19.3 | Let it go, dude, you lost. |
| 1:20.9 | And I just think it's so funny how somebody, now I can see, you know, I know Jeff's out sick, |
| 1:24.9 | but I can see Jeff being the kind of guy who, if he lost something and he was mad that he lost, |
| 1:29.8 | he'd just go ahead and tell everybody he won. You know what? I just, you know what? I actually won that thing. You just totally dismiss. Yeah, dismiss the results. The actual results and start claiming that you were, that you won the national championship. Yeah, that you won the national championship. You won the won, like, if you got in a fight in the school yard, you know what? |
| 1:47.4 | I know what you saw may look like they won, but actually I was the one that was the tacky. It is. I wonder if the American person who won the gold is responding to that yet. I wouldn't. The only thing I would do is hold my gold up. There you go. Nobody cares about your platinum. |
| 1:46.0 | There's so many great soap operas. |
| 2:00.1 | Like if you've been, I am normally not into the Winter Olympics, but I've just been following along for whatever reason the last couple of days. And there are great soap operas. If you watch it long enough, I told you the one earlier this morning about our local girl here, Alana Myers, who is who is from Douglasville. And she, uh, is part of the bobsledding team that is, um, in second place right now. But she wasn't, um, she wasn't predicted to be anywhere near the top. There's a bobsledder by the name of like Roecock or something like that who is the number |
| 2:02.2 | one driver in the world. And her pusher somehow hurt herself. So Ilana tried out to be her |
| 2:35.4 | pusher. I mean, who wouldn't want to be with the number one person? You're probably going to win a |
