The NFL preseason is underway, with teams like the Patriots and Panthers facing off in exciting matches. Meanwhile, the Olympics are heating up, with Team USA basketball taking on France in the final. Joel Embiid's comments about potentially playing for Cameroon have sparked controversy, and the country of Botswana is celebrating its first gold medal win with a half-day holiday and half-price beer.

Where the hell have you been? We already talked some NFL football. We already talked some Olympics. We talked the Dallas Cowboys. I was asked about my favorite teams heading into the season. I was like, hey, name your top eight teams.

I'm like, man, I do a top six every Wednesday. Be patient. Well, you don't got to be patient because I'm going to talk more football and more Olympics. And we got Team USA basketball tomorrow.

Damn it, we had breakdancing in the Olympics today. I'll get into that in a bit. What a day, what a day, what a day.

And what a weekend it will be. You want to communicate with me? It's simple. 855-212-4227.

That's 855-212-4227. If you use the Internet, I'm there. I'm on the Internet. I am at JR Sport Brief.

I am not hard to find at all. Let's see what else happens in NFL preseason action. We got started last night with two teams. Had the Patriots beating the Panthers 17 to three. By the time the Panthers landed back in the Carolinas, the damn plane slid off of the runway. Thank God nobody got hurt.

What a catastrophe that would have been. And then you know what? While they were still playing football up in New England, Drake May made his NFL debut in the preseason. Right. Not a big deal, but he made his debut. He threw three passes for like 19 yards. Nothing. It was pouring rain up there.

Nothing. But Joe Milton. Yeah, Joe Milton out of Tennessee. Used to play at Michigan, can do all the backflips and all this other stuff like Anthony Richardson. People love Joe Milton.

He only threw six passes, completed four of them, had 54 yards, a touchdown, rushed for another 22. People are looking at Joe Milton going, wait a minute, why does this guy look better than Drake May? Matter of fact, Gerard Mayo, the head coach of the Patriots, who also made his debut last night. He says, yeah, he's looking good. He's looking better than we thought.

I need to go back and watch the film. The easy answer would be Joe. You know, Joe went out there and it's been a long.

I don't think we've ever seen a quarterback here run around as much as he did and still was able to get the ball down the field. He's one of those guys. So it was Joe. Yeah. Tom Brady didn't do all that much running.

No. And then the other guy. The guy after Tom Brady.

Cam Newton. Let's just say that that was a you know what show. There was nothing nothing pretty about that. Let's see. Let's hear from Joe Milton.

Hey, Joe, how did you feel about feel about your first preseason experience? A lot of fun. That's a blessing. You know, a lot of people from where I'm from. So a lot of people from where I'm from, you know, they they dream of being in this situation. So just to go out there and cherish it all. It means a lot to me. Me and my family and obviously my teammates.

OK. All right. That man is he ain't going to play too much this year. You all know that, right? It's going to take quite a few injuries. Drake Mays is going to get his chance.

Eventually. And how about this? We got a couple of games that are getting ready to kick off in the next like 30 minutes. Got Atlanta and Miami. Atlanta's not playing most of its starters. No Kirk Cousins.

Sorry. We've got Houston at Pittsburgh. Justin Fields will be out there on the field. Got Philadelphia and Baltimore. And that's just tonight, folks. Right. We've got more action, more games taking place tomorrow. NFL preseason is here.

Set up your whole life to watch these games. OK. Eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. That's eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. Mike is calling from Beantown, Boston, the place where Jason Tatum actually plays basketball. It's the JR sport re-show. You're on the Infinity Sports Network. JR, how are you doing tonight? I'm excellent.

Let me ask you a question first. How do you feel about Jason Tatum not playing here in the Olympics? I think he's kind of getting screwed. I don't understand how how Kurz is saying Tatum. You know, I'm going to have you sit on the bench for now. Two full games in the Olympics. You got to play everybody, especially Jason Tatum. Just won a championship.

We hope he's got the talent. Why just select them for the team if you're not going to play them? It makes no sense at all. OK, well, thank you, Mike. I'll give my opinion shortly. What did you call me about? What's up? All right. First, I got to give a shout out to Hickey and his peanut butter and jelly.

I've had peanut butter and jelly just about every day for lunch for like the past 30 years. And I'm not kidding. You? Hickey, hold on, Mike. Hickey, are you and Mike related somehow? Like, what's going on? No, but I'm glad to know I got a fellow PB&J enthusiast on the on the line here. So I'm talking about. So what happened? Somebody in your family packed the peanut butter and jelly when you were kids, you know, just been taking that into adulthood.

Is that what happened? No, it just tastes good. I actually put peanut butter with strawberry preserves on pita bread. And it's just it's just good on pita pita bread. You eat your peanut butter and jelly sandwich on pita bread. I cut it in half. I fill up the pocket and it tastes awesome. It warmed up.

It's even better. All right. Hold on.

Mike, don't say anything. Hickey, are you using pita bread or are you you just a regular ass bread person? Are you using white bread? Wheat bread?

What are you doing? White bread? No, whole wheat. Whole wheat bread and no strawberry preserve.

Just grape jelly. Why don't you try it on pita bread like Mike from Boston? I like the bread I have. I don't need to deviate. Hey, Mike, he thinks your bread is too fancy, man. It's OK. It's OK. It's simple.

It's worked for 30 years. It's it's worth it. I got I got I got to tell both of y'all. And Mike, I don't know you from a hole in the wall.

I do know Ryan Hickey. But listening to both of y'all tell me about a peanut butter jelly sandwich on a Friday night makes me want to have a drink. OK. All right. I got I got a big ass thing of water next to me. I want to dump out my water and put in some vodka. Well, enough of your peanut butter jelly sandwiches for now. What else did you call me about, Mike?

All right. I'm talking about football. I think this year is the NFL green. This is Roger Goodell's dream. He has a dream on one.

The parody. Besides the teeth, you could literally get any team just about anything from the NFC in the playoffs. And who knows who's going to go to Super Bowl? Yeah, I was told on all these names, the 49ers yesterday, whatever. The Cowboys with no, but it's it's wide open.

Maybe six to 18 could end up in the NFC championship. Well, we can we can we can kind of say that it's. Yeah, of course.

In the AFC. And thank you so much, Mike. You ate your peanut butter today, too, right? I did. OK. All right. What's what's for dinner? For dinner, I think my daughter's picking up sushi on the way home.

Oh, man, I had sushi before I got here. Good for you. Enjoy. OK. All right.

Have a good one. Well, thank you, Mike, from Boston. Hey, Hickey, that guy's a sicko.

Oh, man. You know, I'm a lot like you. I will never talk crap to somebody's face.

As soon as they leave my vicinity, soon as they hang up the phone. That's when I'll truly say how I feel. He knows what I said. He knows what I said.

And I like him. I'm joking. But I just I'm just messing around because it's like you had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for for dinner. And now you're having. He said sushi, right? Sushi for dinner.

Yes. Just put the next time. Put the sushi on your peanut butter and jelly. OK, just do that next time. So it's disgusting.

It does save yourself. Well, my I had sushi. Hickey, I had a turkey for anyone who's interested. OK, nobody cares. I'm gonna tell you anyway, since we're talking about food.

I had a turkey burger for for for lunch. How exciting. Right.

Exciting Hickey. No, not excited. Oh, yeah. Big time. Wow. Yeah. Very exciting.

And then on the way here into the studio, I had I had sushi. Exciting also as well. Exciting, exciting, more exciting than the turkey. I mean, look, it's hard to not be more exciting than a turkey burger, I will say.

So the bar is very low. And when I when I get out of here in the studio, you know what I'll do in solidarity between you and his name, Mike. Mike from Boston. Yes, sir. I'm going to make me a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. No, you're not. I am. You are such. There is no shot in your house.

You have peanut butter or jelly. Why? Why not?

I do. I don't think so. I don't buy it.

Now, that's un-American. You have to. You're just hating on it. No, no, no, I'm not.

I'm just between the two of y'all. You're saying you eat it every day. That man said he's eaten it every day for 30 years.

That's right. Real man. Man, there's a lot of things I like to eat.

I don't want to eat anything every day. Come on, man. So you'll have it once in a blue moon, is what you're saying. You will have PB&J.

Yeah, I had one like two, three days ago. OK, it's good. It has a good protein. I also use the whole wheat. That's also good to get all the whole grains in there. I don't mind a little sugar from the from the jelly.

So, yeah, I have one. But it's not a part of my daily. You know, it's not my religion. Like you two guys.

What kind of peanut butter do you have at home? I forgot. I think the one I told you is a jiff or gif. I don't know. OK. All right. Well, just forget the pronunciation.

Just say you were on the right side with Jeff Hickey. I will get whatever they whatever they have in the supermarket. I get it. I don't know. Whatever captures your eye. There's only there's only like three brands, right? Come on. It's a burgeoning market.

More and more are appearing. Man, if I'm going into Kroger or Publix or whatever the hell, I don't know, whatever peanut butter. If you live in Colorado, it's giant or whatever the hell you live or whatever.

It's all the same. You got like two brands and then it's the store brand and then that's it. Like there's a gourmet peanut butter place I don't know about.

Oh, yeah. I mean, I would say Justin's is maybe more of the higher end, fancier peanut butter. I don't I don't know Justin and I don't want his stinking ass peanut butter. OK, save it. What do you do?

What do you do? They put that peanut butter probably on a cracker, right? Oh, definitely.

I made some caviar on top, too. Yeah. No, no, thanks.

Anyway. Hey, thank you, Mike, for calling from Boston. And now Hickey, for the next two weeks, I'm gonna have people calling me up, telling me what they eat. That's it.

That's what the show has devolved into. Listen, I know what I mean. I mean, let me not shout anything out, but I I know where to get some booze around here. If I hear anything else about a PB&J, I'm going to toss my water and have me a drink. It's Friday.

Not what I thought I'd be discussing anyway. It is Friday. You're locked into the J.R. sport re-show here on the Infinity Sports Network. When we come back, I told you peanut butter and jelly is American. You need some jelly and peanut butter and bread. You need it in your house.

You need it. I know Joel Embiid has a lot of it in his house because Joel Embiid. He's an American. He's playing for the United States of America. And in twenty twenty eight.

He might be playing for Cameroon. I will explain on the other side of the break. Damn it. I might play Hickey. What country should I go play for?

Pick one. I don't know. How about the Netherlands?

I was like their color scheme. The stuff to smoke is legal out there, right? That's right. Yeah. Yeah, I'll be Dutch.

Why not? Yeah, I'll sign up for it. Joel Embiid will go back to Cameroon and I'll go to the Netherlands. We'll talk about what the hell is going on with Embiid on the other side of the break.

That's 855-212-4227. People are telling me about what the hell they ate for lunch, what they'll have for dinner. I'm just like, OK, great. Good. Maybe somebody will just magically deliver food here to the studio. Maybe. Possibly. Unlikely.

Anyway. We've talked about NFL preseason action. Talk more about the NFL. Joe Milton looking good last night up in New England. The Panthers, unfortunately they're playing. Skidded off the runway by the time they got to the Carolinas this morning. Oh, the New York Giants, they beat the Lions 14-3. Drew Locke went down with a hip injury. What a way. At least it wasn't Daniel Jones.

That's nice. We talked about the Dallas Cowboys always being a circus, a freak show, a joke. And Dak Prescott is dealing with sore ankles right now.

Of course. And then we talked about Kevin Durant. Who is just... I don't know if he's miserable or sad or bored. He was on social media just going at fans today. Fans that he felt were rooting against Team USA to lose against Serbia, Americans. I guess Kevin Durant has nothing better to do in Paris right now. He did watch the women, Team USA women, they beat Australia.

Smack them. He'll take on France in the final on Sunday. Anyway, Kevin Durant wasn't the only member of Team USA basketball to make some eye-raising comments following the victory. Joe Lembide also spoke to the media. And he had his best game of the Olympics because Joe Lembide, all 7-foot-1 of him, went out there and scored 19 points. Helped the U.S. beat Serbia 95-91.

Now, we know that there's a little bit of a, not a controversy, maybe if you're French, about Joe Lembide's status in the current Olympics. He was born in Cameroon. Came to the United States at the age of 15, 16 years old.

He is now 30 years old. He spent half his life in the United States of America. Has played his entire adult life, his entire life in America playing basketball. And so when it came down to the Olympics, Joe Lembide could have played for Cameroon. He could have played for the United States of America, of which he is now a citizen. Or Joe Lembide, he lobbied the French, or maybe the French lobbied him, depending on who you ask. But he did write a letter to their Prime Minister, Macron. And he ultimately, he chose to play for the U.S. And Joe Lembide told the French, no thank you.

After they granted him citizenship, just so he could play basketball. And so naturally there's a lot of fans in France who are not happy with Joe Lembide. Joe Lembide has been booed every time he's touched the ball, every time he's breathed. And after the time, well after the victory yesterday, he was booed on the court. Joe Lembide was the last player off the court last night.

And he decided to do the D-Generation X crotch shot. Yeah, he was telling the fans in France to, you know, you figure it out, OK? Anyway, he said he's looking forward to the game tomorrow. Joe Lembide said he is excited for the French crowd.

He don't give a damn about them. Listen to this. I think a lot of people want it to be, you know, because of, you know, storyline and all that stuff. But to me, it's all about whatever, doing whatever it takes to win the goal. You know, so, you know, that's what I'm focused on.

It's all about, you know, Team USA against France. So, you know, but I know myself. I'm going to interact myself and I'm going to enjoy it. I'm going to, you know, they're going to boo me. I'm going to go back on them and tell them to suck it.

And so it's going to be fun. Whoa, whoa. Hickey, what is he?

A teenage wrestling fan from 1999? He loves the crotch chop. He can get away with an Olympic play, right? Huh? I guess. I guess you're right. Yeah. You do that under Adam Silver's watch, you get a nice big old fine. Wow.

I would think you'd have a little bit more respect and dignity on the international side of things. I guess not. Joel Embiid wants to tell the fans in France to suck it. Quote unquote. What a guy.

Anyway, they're going to be booing the hell out of him tomorrow. Hickey, am I am I bad? Am I bad American?

I feel like I feel like Kevin Durant. I have to ask people in my bad. Right. Is it bad or is it a bad guy? He's a bad guy. Am I a bad person?

Maybe was the. Yeah. Am I a bad person?

Am I a bad American? If I want to see Joel Embiid get one of his shots blocked by women, Yama. Just one. Just one. Just one. One shot. I mean, when he does put himself out there like that.

And his likability or maybe lack thereof in the past. I'm not a bad person. I don't I can't say you're a bad guy for one for one shot. I want to see women, Yama, lift up them big ass arms and just swat something down. And, you know, Joel Embiid likes to fall all over the ground.

I want to see Joel Embiid get his shot blocked by women, Yama. And then I want to see him rolling around on the floor. That's again, that second part's a guarantee is a guarantee. It's a guarantee that he's going to roll on the floor.

Yeah, he's a floor mop. But it's not a guarantee that he's going to get a shot blocked in the process. Right. That I'd like to see. Of course, I want to see the USA win. But I want to see Embiid get his shot blocked.

And why? Because he says things that you're about to hear in a second. You know, Joel Embiid, he just can't stop there with dissing the French. He has to quote unquote, I guess this is a joke. Joel Embiid, he kind of teased that by the time the Olympics are back in the States here in 2028 in Los Angeles. Joel Embiid was like, I might play for Cameroon.

Listen to this. You know, Paris is a great city, too. So and then the next one is in L.A. We'll see. I don't know. Maybe it might not be with Team USA.

Maybe it might be with Cameroon. So we'll see. Oh, no. Hickey, that was a joke, right? He was joking. Ha ha ha.

I don't know. That seems like I'll get my gold medal here so I can say I have one and then maybe I'll go play for my country, because otherwise, if I just play for them, you know, two, three, four Olympics, I know I'll never win that four. He's not going to make it.

He's never going to win one. Now, my understanding is if he wants to play for Cameroon, he has to get a waiver from Team USA Basketball and FIBA. They both have to say, OK, yeah, you can go play for another country. He just can't he can't say, oh, in 2028, I'll play for Cameroon. And not that his body may even make it to 2028, but it's not like he could wake up in 2032 and go ahead.

Now I'm going to play for France. It doesn't work that way. You can't do it. And I don't want to call Joel Embiid a turncoat. Is he also a troll? Can he be trolling? Yes. Whatever happened to people just showing up and doing their job?

Everybody has to just drop breadcrumbs. Everybody has to be a comedian. Joel Embiid is literally in France getting booed every time he steps out onto the basketball court because the fans in Paris don't respect him for playing a game with them when it came down to citizenship.

And this is this has other wide reaching elements. I think you you don't have to be in America to understand, but, man, there are people all over the world looking for a better life, trying to move into another country and whatever means they do it legal, not illegal, whatever the case might be. And just because this guy is a basketball player, seven feet one, seven foot one can dunk and be an MVP. He's a citizen.

Hickey, for all of that. If I if I get a degree in science, can I just go to Germany and get German citizen? They're going to tell me get the hell out, right? They don't care. They will laugh you right out of the country.

But if I can dunk a basketball and help them win a gold medal, they'll let me in and probably pay you to live there and be a citizen. Me and Dennis Schroeder, right? That is Dennis Schroeder. Yeah. They have no problem with Dennis Schroeder now.

Yeah. It's crazy how country to country, how everybody accepts or doesn't accept the Olympians. A couple of days ago, I told you about the gentleman from the Philippines. He's going back to the Philippines with a gold medal in the Philippines. The government, they're giving him money, cash money. They're giving him a house. They're giving him a condo. They gave him a new iPhone, iPhone 16. I didn't know iPhone 16 was out.

Maybe I'm behind. What Hickey? Did I miss anything? He got like free food at restaurants. He's getting colonoscopies for free the rest of his life when he turns 45. And that's what else do you need in life, right? Everything he has set for the rest of his life. Good for him. Free colonoscopies. And we got Joel Embiid.

Well, I mean, Joel Embiid is in the midst of a two hundred and thirteen million dollar contract. What else does he need? Right? Nothing.

You need nothing. You know what? Every country is different. How about the gentleman, a Tobago who won the 200 meter yesterday for Botswana?

This is when you say, Hickey, we're spoiled here in America. We we lead the medal count. I don't know how many medals we got, like 200 by now or something like that. A large number. I don't know. The 130 maybe would be my guess. I'll get you an update here in a second.

Oh, I'm looking at it right now. We have one hundred and eleven medals. Nice. We're tied with China for golds with thirty three. And that's that's where we're at. We are so spoiled in winning. Just winning everything. Botswana won its first gold medal yesterday with Tobago winning.

Because no allows is too arrogant. Yes, Covid. The president of Botswana declared today a half day, an afternoon off, a national holiday to celebrate Tobago's win in the Olympics. Hickey, I don't I'm assuming it'll take us 18 hours to get to Botswana. Beer is being sold at half price across the country.

Because of Tobago's win. That's a Nazi guy that's never going to pay for a drink in his life again. Good for him.

That's that's very cool. They'll probably build a statue of him, right? Yeah, right. I imagine they did that for every medal we won here.

I mean, we have no work day. Forget that. Forget all of that.

Let's let's be realistic here. What do I get when Team USA wins tomorrow? What do I get? Nothing, right? Nothing? You get Olympic pride for your country. And the women, Diana Taurasi, she scores zero points on Sunday and the U.S. beats France.

What do I get? More pride. You can brag that they will have we we as United States will have the most gold medals. Take that, China. No chance no chance that we get a holiday because of our athletic accomplishments globally. Nothing. I mean, I hope Joe Biden listens to what Botswana does.

I would love I think we absolutely deserve that. We're number one a day. The people in Botswana got a half day off and half price beer to celebrate. Here in America, it's business as usual. It's just raining on the East Coast is hot everywhere else. And I can't even get a half price beer.

The women, the U.S. women won the relay race. What did I get? Nothing.

What a what a country, Hickey. This is you're right. What are you doing? Not for real. You think I'm joking. I'm disappointed. I'm serious. I'm with you. We should not be working right now.

This is this is a travesty. The closest that we already established this. The closest that we'll get. Is the Super Bowl, if they move it with the extra game and they move at the president's weekend. President's Day. And then I realize that we have to work the day after anyway. I'm starting. Hickey, I'm starting to feel taken advantage of. I am. I think you should rework your contract.

What? The day after Super Bowl? I don't work or get paid more money. No, I have their appreciation shown.

No, no, no, no. I need to not work the day after the Super Bowl. You would rather get the day off and make more money. I can go find money somewhere.

OK, I know where you find it. Rob a bank. OK, there's a bank right downstairs from where you're at right now. Go rob it.

Well, I can't do that now. I mean, when we get on the primary suspect, what you just you just admitted on the air. Hey, go rob a bank.

If it happens, all of a sudden, what are the cops going to do? I was listening to the radio a half hour ago. These idiots said, oh, go rob a bank.

I wonder who robbed the bank. Anyway, let's forget that part. No, I need a day. I need a day off after the Super Bowl. And I need I need half price beer. No, I need free beer. Olympic every four years is not bad for every gold medal hickey. I'm gonna put that in my contract for every gold medal.

I need a free beer. Yeah, I'm gonna have that set up for the Olympics in twenty twenty eight. And so at this at this pace right now, the US has thirty three goals.

I could do with what do you think? By the time the weekend is up, what, like 40 gold medals? Probably something like that. Maybe I was going to say at least thirty six.

Right. So you get a nice little thirty six pack. The men win. So the men win basketball and the women will win thirty six. I don't know what else is going on between now and Sunday. I don't know. I don't know either. I don't know.

Oh, the men breakdancing. Maybe an American man with thirty seven. OK. I could I could have me thirty seven beers. I'd give you some of your beer. Let's go. Why hasn't this happened?

I mean, it's not because because we're not in Botswana. That's maybe we should do the show remote now. Hey, many, many, many Rodriguez. You want a beer? Yes, please. How many?

All of them. Oh, you're too excited. Selfish over here. Jeez. Don't worry.

Jarrah and I aren't thirsty. I know. Right. Listen, we'll we'll we'll get there. We'll make sure that you get some beer in twenty twenty eight. OK, many four years in Botswana, Botswana.

They got a half day off because the gentleman Tobago won the gold medal and they got half day off and they got half price beer all across the country because of the president said so. Oh, the president said so. Yeah. Oh, man.

I mean, we we were far behind on what's going on. Wow. That's what I'm saying. I mean, nice beer the entire for how long? I don't know today, I guess. Oh, man, that's at bars, at just groceries or just everywhere. I don't think they're giving out beer at City Hall. I guess maybe the subsidies. I don't know.

Oh, that'd be nice if they gave it out. You move to Botswana and you let me know. OK. All right.

Sounds good. All right. Well, you know anything about Botswana?

African country. It certainly is. Yes. Yeah. That's pretty much all that.

Just just north of South Africa. How about that? Oh, OK. You got a capital for me? No, I don't. That's unfortunate.

I don't. I know the capital is it's south in Botswana. That much I do know. It's kind of on the border of that in South Africa.

You let me know. You go to Botswana, bring back some beer and we could chat. You think they have Corona in Botswana? That's that's probably not.

Come on, man. No, we think so. You think they have a Corona in Botswana?

I'd be nice. You think Corona? You think Corona travels to Africa?

I don't know. Africa is one of the few places I have not been. And I certainly have not been to Botswana. I'm going to assume just like a lot of places like, you know, craft beer is a big thing all over the country now. It's exploded over the past 10 years. Like you can't go anywhere without a brewery just popping up. Right. That's right.

So I will assume that that in Botswana, like a lot of other places, like when I go to India, I go to India. And been in a minute like that. You ever had a Kingfisher beer? I have not. No. You ever heard of it? No.

Negative. I know about it because I drink. It's like an IPA.

I drink it when I go to India. I don't know if I want IPAs, though. Hickey, this guy is real choosy, huh? This guy comes in here, takes all our beer, then is picky about the beer that he's drinking. That's also now he wants it to be free.

I mean, doesn't it end with this guy? And then had the nerve to bring up a Corona. Give a mouse a cookie. My goodness. I'm telling you about Kingfisher. You're telling me about Corona.

What do you want, a Modelo next? Oh, hell yeah. OK. All right. Next time J.R. is in the city, I hear beer on him. You hear that, Ryan? Not beer on me. I know where to get beer for free. You don't got to worry about it.

Oh, you don't worry. You need to go to Canada. That's close. Go to Montreal and have a beer. OK. That's that's a troop. I'd rather just go to the Botswana. But either Botswana.

I mean, if Botswana got them at half price, I might as well. Oh, it'll take you a day and a half to get there. OK.

Anyway, that's not all. I think Montreal is closer. You look it up on a map and you tell me. I think I haven't got to J.R. OK. It's the J.R. sport we show here on the Infinity Sports Network. I try to figure out where to get a Manny Rodriguez, an authentic Botswanan beer.

But us here in America, why don't we get anything? When we win, when our Olympians win, I guess we win too damn much.

And I know Manny Rodriguez, our news guy, is out scouring the news right now, so he's not here with us this moment. Hickey, I found out some Botswanan beers. I think they're Botswanan beers.

Ooh, let's hear them. Kingfisher, the same damn beer I told them about that I can get in India. OK. Carling Black Label. Delta Lager.

They have an Amstel out there, I guess. Wow. Castle Lager. And then he can also have himself an Old Bull Stout. Interesting.

So no Bud Lights, huh? Interesting. Apparently the top beer from Botswana is a St. Louis Lager.

Now, who's St. Louis? I don't know. But whatever. I don't know. I'm not in Botswana.

I got no plans on going. So congratulations to all the wonderful people of Botswana who have half-priced beer today or yesterday. Because I assume the time in Botswana, Hickey, it got to be like in the morning time, something like that, right? Yeah, they're probably, what, would you say close to 12 hours ahead? Oh, 12?

Ooh, I don't know about that. Maybe 6, 7, 8 Botswanan time. Yeah, it's 1.47 in the morning. So maybe just winding down from celebrating all the half-priced beer in half-day. Nah, man. If I was in Botswana, I'd probably be on my last beer right now, okay? Well, okay.

It could be a dirty stay out. Yeah, 1.45 in the morning, yeah. Last call. Ring the bell. Yeah, yeah. I don't know. Botswana, they may, for him, the guy Tobogo, they may be extended.

Last call is at 4. I don't know. Maybe. You know, you got to get people in bed with people.

Hickey, you can't be out. Could you imagine how society would change? Imagine if last call, forget other countries.

Could you imagine if last call was universally at like 4 a.m.? What would that do? Would that A, boost the economy, or would it B, tear down society? Or C, both.

Both. Right, right. The economy would definitely be boosted. That is for sure. Man, it's probably a good thing that ain't no last call at 4 a.m. Probably not, man. There'd be too many drunks. There's enough drunks outside, right? The one thing I will say, just going back to Tobogo really fast here, do you think, is he still in Paris, you think? Or is he back home? Oh, come on, man.

So it kind of sucked to be not in your home country as they're celebrating you by drinking half-price beer and having a half-day. I would want to be there for that. Do you come, whenever he, I don't know.

I mean, is he done racing? I don't know. That's a good question. Let's see. Okay. I don't see nothing. I don't, I don't know, man. He could still, well look, either way, when he gets back, he's going to be treated like a king anyway, right?

No, he is. But like, it would be like, that'd be very cool to go back to home country and, oh, everyone has a half-day. Why? Because of you.

And the beer is half-price because of you. That, I mean, winning a gold medal is once in a lifetime. That is also once in a lifetime. Yeah, but he'll, he's, imagine when the, when his plane touches down and when he gets back, he's going to get a hero's, regardless of whether he's still in Paris or whether he's back. And I think if he, I think if he was back, I think we know. I think we know. So I think he's probably still in Paris. But man, when he gets back, they're going to have another celebration for him. I don't think he cares. That's true. You're right.

He's probably going to be tired. Did you see the woman from, uh, I don't want to start naming countries. The Asian woman who did the shooting?

I think she's Chinese, I think? I did not, did not see what happened. Come on, don't laugh.

You're going to get me in trouble. I'm not laughing. I'm not, I didn't know.

I did not see what happened to one of the Olympic athletes. You know about the, you know, the man who went viral from Turkey, right? The man who had the shooting pose?

Oh, yes. He didn't, the pistol up shooting? Yeah, he didn't put on any protective eyewear, nothing for us. He is, he's just like, listen, man, I just shoot guns. They woke him up, rolled him out of there.

I said, fire this target. I mean, he was, he was the best. He was the best. Well, there was a woman, she was the opposite of him from one of the Asian countries and she had all the stuff on and she also won gold. And when she went back home, they had a press conference for her because, you know, not every athlete sticking around, as you said, some of them have left. She passed out at the press conference, man.

What? Yeah, she passed out. They blamed the exhaustion.

I do know who you're talking about because I have seen the meme on the other side. That's what they said. They said it was exhaustion. Well, exhaustion from what? South Korea, man, from going to the Olympics and being bandied about.

Celebrating the gold medal, maybe? You think she adds issues? Her name is Kim Yeji. She collapsed at the press conference.

South Korean pistol shooter Kim Yeji went viral for her custom shooting glasses, was hospitalized after accumulated fatigue, officials indicated. She was admitted into the hospital in the south of the country for tests. Yep.

She collapsed at a press conference. Yeah. You could just be you imagine she's on like a whirlwind of a week, right?

Why wouldn't she be tied? I know. I I'm. Yeah, I agree. I'm just more saying, like, you know, hear stories about Olympic Village, how crazy it is. No disrespect to her, you know, her profession of shooting. Not taking any way, but it's not exactly the most physically taxing sport.

Oh, so you're more trying to say, what is she exhausted from the whirlwind? For sure. Maybe a possibility. At least she didn't get arrested for buying coke from a 17 year old like that other guy. That is very true. She has that on her plate. Yeah. And she won. What does she do? Won the 10, won silver in the 10 meter air pistol event on July 28th. It is.

It is August 9th. She was sitting down speaking to reporters when she collapsed. The country she represented for seven years, she regained consciousness, was taken to a hospital.

They tended to her, she believed to have passed out due to stress. And exhaustion. OK. Now, listen, man, stress, stress, stress, stress will knock you the hell out. Plus throwing some exhaustion.

Oh, yeah, it'll knock you the hell out. Hey, good luck to Kim Yeji. Congratulations to the people of Botswana for getting your free beer.

And you know what? Congratulations to the hip hop community. I mean, they had breakdancing in the Olympics. And I think this is it for breakdancing in the Olympics. I don't I don't think it's going to be back in Los Angeles in 2028. I can't believe it. The Olympics are coming to a close.

This is it. Soak it up because the next time you see some Olympics, at least for the summer. It's going to be 2028. The Olympics are going to be very different in Los Angeles. And it has nothing to do with Joel and be trying to suit up for Cameroon. I'll explain. Let's let's talk more Olympics on the other side.
