00:00Would the Olympics be hurt if pro tennis players were not the stars of tennis and golf was

00:09not the stars of golf?

00:12Would it be hurt?

00:13I'm just I was thinking about that last night because I was like, gosh, man, really?

00:16Like all the top stars of golf.

00:19So what?

00:20I can watch that any Sunday.

00:21All the top stars of tennis.

00:22That happens weekly.

00:23You know, the Olympics be hurt if you took out all the big stars of sports like those.

00:29Yes.

00:30Really?

00:31Yes.

00:32I mean, because you're also talking about like, I mean, I know you're not really bringing

00:36up Simone Biles right now, but she is not an amateur anymore, you know, so you wouldn't

00:41have her in it.

00:42You wouldn't have Katie Ledecky in it.

00:44You wouldn't have like those types of people either.

00:46So it's not just the main sports like you're losing the stars in every sport.

00:49Well, I guess like, OK, use a guy like Noah Lyles, right?

00:52Like I didn't know who Noah Lyle was.

00:54Noah Lyle until this this 100 meter sprint.

00:58Never heard of the guy.

00:59Right.

01:00Sorry, Noah.

01:01You didn't watch Netflix's Sprinter.

01:02Did not watch it.

01:03And by the way, had had you not watched it, you wouldn't know who he was either.

01:07Well, I would have.

01:08I would have.

01:09Because when he talked his trash, we all kind of got to know who Noah Lyles was.

01:13When did he talk his trash?

01:16A while ago.

01:17It was a while ago.

01:19I think it was when he won the 2023 World Championship 100 meter.

01:22I believe he had a press conference where he's like, I'm the world champion.

01:26And I think it happened around the time that the NBA finals crowned their champion.

01:29And he goes, I just saw the NBA finals and they're saying world champion.

01:32And I believe his direct quote was world champions of what?

01:35Like, who are they playing there?

01:38They're the American champions, but they're the world champions of what they didn't beat

01:42the world.

01:43I beat the world.

01:45So when he started talking that and that went viral, I was very familiar with Noah Lyles.

01:50The ignorance, the ignorance and the ignorance that that man spoke at the time was just I

01:53mean, I agree with what he's all true.

01:56Why is it ignorant?

01:58Because the best players in the world play in that league.

02:02There is not a single solid.

02:04There's not a single solitary individual team better than the Boston Celtics on the planet.

02:09Go find.

02:10I understand.

02:11I understand.

02:12But but, you know, they say the same thing about the Super Bowl.

02:13When when when the Chiefs win the Super Bowl, they go, they're the world champions.

02:16Yeah.

02:17The Super Bowl.

02:18The Super Bowl champions.

02:19Yeah.

02:20I mean, listen, when when you crown a champion in baseball, you say they're the world champions.

02:24They won the World Series.

02:25But they won the Major League Baseball Championship.

02:26I don't think I don't think it's that bad what he had to say.

02:30But I didn't know who Noah Lyles was.

02:31I do now.
