  • #322 - Olympic Disaster,
    Aug 14 2024

    Is break dancing a better fit at the Olympics than gymnastics? We tackle this and more in an episode brimming with hot takes and unconventional insights. From the eyebrow-raising exclusion of Russia to the addition of sports that might make the ancient Greeks do a double take, we scrutinize what really makes the Olympics thrilling—or utterly ridiculous. Should we finally ditch curling and biathlon for something more modern, like computer hacking? And does the drama of international conflict on the sports field beat the actual sports? Tune in as we question the decisions that shape the world's biggest sporting event.

    Join us for a no-holds-barred discussion on the Olympics' latest twists and turns. We debate the merits of skateboarding next to more traditional events, and why some sports feel more like a waste of time than a testament to human skill. From the dominance of Eastern European athletes in niche sports to the inexplicable allure of Formula One racing, our conversation promises to keep you entertained and maybe even a little outraged. Whether you're a die-hard sports fan or a casual viewer, this episode offers a fresh perspective on what could make the Olympics truly captivating.
