Well Played: Golden Girls at the Olympics, Biles Throws Shade, Memeification of the Games, and Paris Has a Shallow Pool Problem

Listen Later

We are seven days into the 2024 Paris Olympics and back for another episode of Well Played: Olympics Edition. Amanda and Blake chat about the MyKayla who decided to go after the US women’s gymnastics team. Rest assured, McKayla Maroney had nothing to do with it. 

In this episode of Well Played, we’ll also cover: 

  • The *chefs kiss* TikToks Suni Lee and Simone Biles executed after winning the team all-around gold medal, plus how protecting their physical and mental health paid off for the gymnasts so far
  • The emotional moment the US women’s rugby sevens team took home the bronze 
  • How rugby player and social media queen, Ilona Maher, managed to recruit Jason Kelce to be the no. 1 fan of the team à la Flavor Flav
  • If “boundary king” Stephen Nedoroscik will have his second Clark Kent moment on the pommel horse this weekend
  • One theory on why Olympic swimmers are breaking less world records this year 
  • Whether Amanda and Blake would stay in the Olympic Village or flee to a bourgeois hotel
