#31: Passing the (Olympic) Torch

from This Show Has Everything Hosted by This Show Has Everything

We may be cooped up at home for a while, but we’re not about to let that stop us from celebrating the spectacular pageantry, athletic accomplishment, and overblown nationalism that is the Summer Olympics. Mike, Hillary, and Ann are here to discuss our favorite (and least favorite) “events,” decide which athletes impress us the most, share some of our favorite memories, and celebrate the NBC elf that is Bob Costas. Along the way, we simplify some track and field events, add a few twists to liven up a boring sport, and marvel over the rise and fall of the celebrity decathlete. Plus, Hillary makes a shocking statement of false confidence. Shameless Amazon Plug of the Week: Zotz Assorted Sour Fizzing Candies - 5 lbs Connect with the show! This is your show, too.
