We're back. We're back. It's the Deadcast. I'm Drew. That's Roth. And also back from South Korea

is our own Deadspin Olympics correspondent, Hannah Kaiser, everyone.

Hello.

Wow. I'm getting slightly less jet lagged by the day. Did you try the melatonin? Not yet. Last night was the first night that I slept more than like two hours in a row. So I was like, you know what, I'm good? I don't need it. Have you tried the melatonin? It's very good. No, I have some Benadryl that I've been trying, which is like... You dope yourself like a baby. Yeah, that's good, because it's, that one also helps with your sinuses, and I believe it's habit forming. Oh, no. Yeah, it's all right. Just rub brandy on your dogs. Maybe I'll get over it by like Tokyo 2020, just so like that. Kaiser was there for the duration of the Olympics. You were there for three weeks. Is that correct? I was there for slightly longer than three weeks, the Olympics themselves, because you do actually need a couple days on the front end to get slightly used to being on the other side of the world. Yes. And then I had like one 24-hour trip to Seoul at the end. But yeah, I was there for like more than three weeks. I was in Korea

for a very long time. It was cool. I do not know what Korea is like. That's something that people

ask you when you've been in Korea for like roughly a month. You get back and he'll say, so, how is

Korea? And I don't know because you were at the Olympics instead of in Korea.

And like no one at, yeah, no, like the Olympics are equally surprising to the Koreans as they were to me, I think.

That's actually a funny feature of being there is seeing all the signs that are designed to sort of normalize the Olympics to the locals as well as the locals to the

Olympics. So like the bathrooms all have signs that say like, don't stand on the seat and face the

wall. I was like, why would I do that? And then I saw the toilets in the rest of Korea. And I was like,

oh, that makes sense. Oh, so did was it essentially, were they teaching, were they essentially having to educate people as to how, like, it would be, they would, there would be this isolated, westernized, like, strip mall just plunked down into their, their, yeah, yeah, right, exactly.

So it's like the parts of, parts of the Olympics were sort of surprising to me because they were in Korean. But like,

I think that parts of the Olympics were equally surprising to the like, whatever, 5,000 Korean

volunteers who are not used to like all this westernized stuff. So I don't really know what

Korea is like, but the Olympics are cool. I like them a lot. I can only imagine how disturbing

it would be as just like somebody living in a small city in Korea and then suddenly just hundreds of portly drunk Americans are staggering around your town yelling.

Yeah, one of my first questions that I wrote down as like things I was going to look into was what is Pyong Chung, the city that was sort of named for the Olympics.

And it's not much, it turns out.

Like, it's not Seoul, first of all.

And it's not even like, it's not even, oh God, I'm a butcher this one even worse.

Changyang, the coastal city where, like, the hockey and the curling and the figure skating took place.
