In 1995, my neighbor, Anna Traynor, disappeared from a commune. It was nature and trees and praying. And drugs. No, I am not your guru. Back then, I lied to everybody. They have had this case for 30 years. I'm going back to my hometown to uncover the truth. Listen to The Red Weather on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. NBC YouTube. Let me translate what I think that was. Thank you to NBC and YouTube for bringing us here to the Milan Cortina Olympics. Give it up, give it up, give it up. And we're here with the whole studio full of people. Yes. Interact. Only in Milan does legacy media and new media come together. Absolutely. If you, if you are not enjoying us visually right now and podcasts are now a visual medium across all formats, we are in a recreated, uh, Cortina-esque log cabin studio. We're in Cortina. Oh, gosh, it's so fun. Everyone at this Olympics is like, I'm going to Lavinio tomorrow. I'll see you later. How long are you in Milan for? Oh, well, you have to go to the Duomo. And that's really all there is. The chicest sentences you've ever said. Well, you have to go to the Duomo. How long are you in Milan? It's like, I never dreamed as a boy that I would ever ask these questions. I grew up next to a water tower in Colorado. in the suburbs. Well, I guess that's kind of Olympics adjacent. My dad used to hang out with his friends at Chili's. And now I'm at the Milan Olympics. Now I'm in Studio B at the IBC. You hear that? This is all jargon. This is all jargon. International Broadcasting Center. That's what I'm guessing it is. Did I nail it? I knew it. You know, Matt, let's talk through our arrival in Milan. Because we really are here. This is not a bit. They actually did send us all those threats that we did. Like, oh, they better send us. It actually paid off. We're here. I think we're doing good. I think we're representing our lovely collaborators well, certainly our country better than others. Oh, we'll get into it. We'll get into it. But yeah, so we get here and a lot of people are going to be asking the question, was this a better Italian arrival experience than the last time we came here, wherein all of our bags were missing for days and we were bagless in Sicily? We can reveal at this time, all our bags made it. All our bags made it. And we're absolutely dripping in Ralph Lauren swag. Yes. And thank you, Ralph. Thanks, Ralph. And we had a lovely flight. We got to go to the Team USA welcome experience at the airport. That was cool. We basically walked through exactly. They were kind enough to simulate the experience of a U.S. Olympian's arrival for us. Yes. Might we say it's a very, very, very emotional, exciting, personalized experience. I was going to say, because it's at the airport. It is at the airport Sheraton. Get into it. Get into it. And we're pulling up going, gosh, if I'm off a nine hour flight and I'm about to have the most high stakes period of my life, last thing I want to do is walk into a suite, into a gifting suite. When I'm jet lagged. No, no, no. Then you walk up these escalators. There's like a gorgeous processional sort of bombast playing around you. Everyone is clapping. Clapping. Everyone there at all the installations comes out and claps. And then the coolest part is you stand in front of a screen and they play a video that is personalized to the teams that are arriving. And there are videos from home that surprise the athletes. And that has to be an incredibly emotional experience, not just because they're incredibly tired. Of course. But it's great to see your family too. It's great to see your family, especially when you're tired on a giant sort of LED screen. Yeah. There's my mom all big. There's telling me she loves me and is proud. I love that. There's mom next to the Skims Oakley station. And you know we went in there. We went in there. You haven't lived until you've seen the Olympics-themed Skim panties. The Olympics-themed Skims panties, the Olympics-themed Skims thigh-high sock. Yeah. Or I would assume the bedroom in the Olympic Village. This is the thing. Tell them. They're sticking these giant gift bags that are chic onto these world-class athletes who are staying in a little shoebox of a room in the Olympic Village. You know what? That ain't right. It gets them out enjoying the city. It gets them out practicing. I almost said rehearsing. I do almost say rehearsing a lot. But, you know, again, an incredible experience. We got to try on the opening ceremony coats and sweaters that the U.S. team. We took videos and photos. We took videos. Don't worry. It was stolen valor because these people were treating us like we were Olympians. And we were like, oh, we're podcasters. It's like the polar opposite. The opposite of Olympics. But we are going to have the great Adam Rippon, who is both an Olympian and a podcaster. Proving you can do both. You can do both. I'm literally motivated to start curling after this trip. You've been talking a lot about it. Well, we met the incredible Cleo Abram. Yes. It's her favorite sport. Yeah. She did a whole 18-minute explainer video that I watched just with precision and in total sort of thrall. That would be the sport for you curling. you're lunging you're you're sweeping you get into a deep lunge you're shaking hands you're getting beers after you get beers after really? beer is a part of thrilling? the winning team has to buy they're nodding both teams yeah a beer what? you shake hands before the game the game starts and you compliment each other on your plays oh my gosh it's called the gentleman's sport was this created in Canada? I don't think so. Where did curling begin? Is Barb here? Where the hell is Barb? Where's Barb? Oh, Barb didn't make the trip? Yeah. Not surprised, Barb, you slacker. No. No one's here to check facts? This is... Oh, no, no, no, no, no. We're kidding. We're kidding. Barb, by the way, we just gotta let people know, Barb is... Lovely. Barb deserves to run this entire company. No, Barb is lovely. She doesn't deserve any of this flack. Okay? No, we love her. Someone else can figure out where curling started. It just sounds like a very Canadian thing. To compliment someone prior to doing like any meddling or whatever and say, hey, have a beer feels very Canadian to me. Feels very Canadian. But I think I'm going to say it started in the UK? Scotland. Because the stones are made from a granite specifically from an island in Scotland from specific rare earth metals. Was this in the Cleo Abram Explaner? This is in the Cleo Abram Explaner. She's great. She's amazing. We're having a great time with her. We're taking pictures with her like she's the third guy five ring. She's the third guy five ring. If the third guy looks like Julia Roberts. Literally, she looks like Julia Roberts. Yeah. And it's like, you know when you see someone and you're like, I know you look like someone. And then you're like, oh, surely I can't be the most famous, most gorgeous woman in the world. That's what she looks like. But then she knows things about protein structure. Yeah, she's like, oh, she was talking in the car very casually about protein structure. and shapes of proteins and how learning the shape is everything when it comes to creating new medicine. I was like, you look like Julia Roberts. You don't have to know any of this. No. Just like we should know stuff about the Olympics. We should know something. Here we are. They flew us out. You know what we're full of knowledge about because we saw it just last night, which means we haven't forgotten it yet. Like the fish we are. The opening ceremony of the, I'll say it again, Milan Cortina Winter Olympics. Can you believe this? We were there. We were there. And one of the wonderful gentlemen who was in this room earlier, his first name is Mike. You don't need to know his last name. Well, you don't need to know his last name, but you can look this up because he almost traps me. He goes, were you at the opening ceremony last night? I was like, yes. He goes, what'd you think? I was like, it was spectacular. Spectacular. He goes, well, I directed it. Stop it now. And I was like, you, sir, you tried to, that's entrapment. He was the Liz Patrick of the opening ceremony. because he was trying to get me to say, yeah, it was all right. Oh, it was entrapment. That's a very serious crime, Mike. Mike. You better watch it or we'll say your last name. Interpol's gonna come for your ass. Get you doxxed. Just kidding. Anyway, congrats on an amazing job, Mike. Mike, meanwhile, he's out here working on a Saturday. It's Saturday here in Milan. That's huge. See, on the Olympics, you could be working on a Saturday. Like us? Yeah, like us. Hmm. Damn it. Now let's talk the opening ceremony. Let's, because so much happened, Beau. When we walked in, I had one thought. Wow, this is like the Ares Tour. And then I realized how dumb I was. And I quickly corrected myself to be like, wow, this is the most epic production I had ever seen. Yeah. You're not wrong, though. It was very Ares Tour-esque. Did she perform there? Look it up. Barb. Ares Tour Milan stop venue. Yeah, see if she played at the Spans Bureau or whatever the heck. We're not talking to Barb. What's it called? San Siro San Siro Not San Spiro Earlier we were listening to this song We were listening to the soundtrack to Spyro the video game yeah yeah we were no what were we listening to her name is Sienna Spyro oh it's like she goes say it's my world say it's my world say it's my world you know that new song it's kind of like Adele but not I don't think so yes she did she played makes all the sense in the world if it's fit for the opening ceremony it's fit for the Aeros tour I hope people at the Aeros tour in Milan had the same interesting hot dog that I had at the stadium. You said it. It's interesting. It was an interesting hot dog. It made me go, maybe it's a good thing that this is like pig brains in the States. Because I was missing the extra, you know? It was too like one thing. It was too they're making six million of these. You know what I'm saying? Uh-huh. Anyway, we're happy we got to eat. We're going to talk about the hot dogs at San Siro for the rest of the episode. And not a single thing about the opening show. Maybe we'll get to Mariah Carey. I bet you thought, oh, let's listen to the Matt and Bowen Two Guys Five Rings episode of the opening ceremony. It's going to be a lot of Mariah Carey. Haven't uttered her name until now. Haven't uttered her name until now. That's not because it wasn't deserved. Because let me tell you what was extremely amazing. Her performance in Italian. Volare. Volare. And then she sang her song. Nothing is impossible. And we actually agreed in our seats that nothing was. And it's off of her latest album, Here For It All, which we were there for it all. Yeah. It being the opening ceremonies. Yeah. She was great. She looked amazing. Probably the coolest part of being there, BTS, was watching them slowly walk her out. Yes. And then, like, place her, leave. Three men, both times. Takes three men to get Mariah out. And then afterwards, they all come out. She didn't move at all. Okay? That's how I want her. She was truly the doll. I was expecting a palanquin. To find palanquin and then I can keep going. A thing, like the thing that you hoist on four guys' shoulders. Yeah, I was expecting that too. For her to sit in a little room. I was going to say palanquin now that I think about it. Yeah. This is Ryder Strong with a podcast called The Red Weather. In 1995, my neighbor, Anna Traynor, disappeared from a commune. It was nature and trees and praying and drugs. No, I am not your guru. Back then, I lied to everybody. They have had this case for 30 years. I'm going back to my hometown to uncover the truth. You can now binge all episodes of The Red Weather on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Ever feel like you're being chased by the marriage police? Welcome to Boys and Girls, the podcast where dating isn't dating. Arranged marriage is basically a reality show, except the contestants are strangers and your entire family is judging. You're sipping coffee with one maybe, grabbing dinner with another, and praying your karmic ken or barbie appears before your shelf life runs out. Trust me, I've been through this ancient and unshakable tradition. I jumped in, hoping to find love the right way, and instead I found chaos, cringe and comedy. And now, I'm looking for healing. Boys and Girls dives into every twist and turn of the arranged marriage carousel. The meet awkward, the near misses, the heartbreak, and let's not forget all the jokes. Listen to Boys and Girls on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Babes, what are you doing? What? I'm just mowing the lawn. No, it's blazing hot and dry out here. Don't you remember? Smokey Bear says... Avoid using power equipment when it's windy or dry. Where'd you learn this? Oh, it's on... SmokeyBear.com. with many other wildfire prevention tips. Right. Thanks, honey bear. Because remember, only you can prevent wildfires. Brought to you by the USDA Forest Service, your state forester, and the Ad Council. Almost 30 years together, four kids and some of reality TV's most unforgettable moments, we know a thing or two about living life out loud. We're taking you behind the scenes in our new podcast, Between Us, with me, Heather Dubrow. And me, Terry Dubrow. Between Us isn't about perfect lighting or curated Instagram grids. It's the unfiltered, behind-closed-doors conversations you wish you could eavesdrop on. Equal parts smart, funny, and a little bit scandalous. Every week, Heather will bring you an unapologetic take on the headlines, the trends, and the cultural moments everyone's texting about. And Terry will deliver insider beauty, health, and wellness insights you won't find on TikTok. Together, we'll tell the stories, spill the secrets, and share the hacks that keep life, marriage, and everything in between feeling fresh and fun. We may live in a gated community, but there's zero gatekeeping here. And plenty of, did they just say that moments? Listen to Between Us on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I went and sat on the little ottoman in front of him. I was like, hi, dad. And just when I said that, my mom comes out of the kitchen And she says, I have some cookies and milk. This is badass convict. Right. Just finished five years. I'm going to have cookies and milk at my mom. Yeah. On the Sino Show podcast, each episode invites you into a raw, unfiltered conversations about recovery, resilience, and redemption. On a recent episode, I sit down with actor, cultural icon Danny Trail to talk about addiction, transformation, and the power of second chances. The entire season two is now available to binge, featuring powerful conversations with guests like Tiffany Adish, Johnny Knoxville, and more. I'm an alcoholic, and without this trouble, I'm going to die. Open your free iHeartRadio app, search The Cito Show, and listen now. Well, let's go back. First, it starts off with this gorgeous, angelic, I want to say like neoclassical interpretive. The theme of the opening ceremony was interpretive dance. Yes. Every two years, maybe, I was going to say every four years, maybe two, the world gets sat down and forced to watch interpretive dance. Yeah. And thank goodness. We should say the theme literally was harmony, but... No, no, no. But there was... Harmonia? The... Harmonia. The... Harmonia. Try speaking Italian without having a full seizure if you're me. Harmonia. It takes over you. But the theme was harmony, and there was harmony in the interpretive dance. Absolutely. Well, I thought the theme was very well sort of executed throughout the entire show, because, good job, Mike. The sort of, the thing was harmony. It was about two things uniting. It was like later on, we saw two acrobats suspended on rings. Oh, that was cuckoo. I think that was supposed to represent city and mountain. What? Milan and Cortina. Is that true? I think that was the poetic read on it. The close read on it. Or harmony and interpretive dance. The world and Italy. The world and Italy. Anything else? red and green. Red and green. Red, white and green. Yeah, red, white and green. So then let me just get this right. Okay, was that, then it was... Matilda DeAngelis. Matilda DeAngelis waving around a huge stick. I saw myself in her. You were her. Matt Rogers DeAngelis. Matt Rogers DeAngelis. I really liked her. I thought her lines were beautiful. Formed very beautiful lines. Dancing with the Stars, Judge. Beautiful lines. Beautiful lines. She was, well, first she was assailed by the paparazzi. Yes. An Italian invention. Oh my gosh, I guess, yeah. No, but they made it look very chic. Lady Gaga, thanks you, so do we. Lady Gaga, thanks you, so do we. Then she walks over, then she starts waving around this baton. Three huge paper mache heads of Verdi Puccini and, oh, the third opera guy. Oh, sure. I'm gonna, I'm gonna. Not Pavarotti. No. Sorry No Hold on let me look at my paper See this is what it is to know too many things Because then you get caught in a trap Because I knew zero of the three guys He knew two of the three And now he's in a world of pain Go ahead Of course They're running around and they remain I think that those three guys Were just watching Charlize Theron give her speech about peace later on. Yeah, that was also a whole moment. That was a moment. They do that, then it's The paint came out of the sky. The paint came out of the sky. Okay, so this is where it got a little confusing for me. So the three paint tubes came out of the sky and they sort of filled the world with primary color. Then, I thought it was all little pieces of paint or little paint brushes, little crayons running out. Turns out all those guys were supposed to be espresso makers. This was where it got a little Italian. Well, this is where we go, oh, wow. I don't think about espresso at all. Now, unless Sabrina Carpenter is involved. She put it on the map in America. We didn't know what it was. Well, espresso martinis. Sure. We knew them from Salt Lake City Housewives. That's right. that happens. Yeah. Then we arrive at what I thought was a tribute to Caprese salad. Turns out it was red, white, and green Italian flag colors. Common mistake. Common mistake. But I went, oh, Italy really, really figured that out with their flag. Bufala. Bufala mozzarella. Mozzarella. Basil. Basil. Basil sounds. Basil. More like we're here. Pomodori. Right. I was like, they invented tomato, cheese, and basil. Just to pause the conversation for a second and talk a little bit more about food. We did have lunch yesterday. And I was upset when I realized, again, they don't have chicken parm here. It's an Italian-American invention. And I got over it. And I didn't bring it up at lunch. I didn't want to make a scene. Uh-huh. And I ordered my amatriciana. And I was very happy. As were you, we had the same thing. We had a gorgeous rigatoni. Where do we go? Ratana. That was the name of the restaurant. Ratana was another restaurant that we went to the night before. Michelin starred risotto. And honey, our waiter, Alex, I will remember you. Oh, this was at the other place, yes. What's that called? That was called Taverna something else. Taverna something. I will remember Alex. He knew something And then he made us this He made table side like a custard basically It starts with a Z in Italian I blanking on that And then he comes over to us and he makes us this dessert right at the table He comes over to us and he whispers in bone in his ear and he goes, now that we're friends, I can tell you, this is what they used to give the men to invigorize them. This is Italian Viagra. Viagra. I said, you better get out of here. You think he was flirting? I don't know. I couldn't tell. And then our friend was like, did you leave your number? And I was like, I don't think he was gay. Gay. Gay. Tutti gay. Tutti gay. We learned that from White Lotus. I feel like here in Italy, you kind of know the guys are gay because they're like, marry me. They are. That's how they are. Now, please marry me. You feel like you know that all the guys in Italy are gay because they all say marry me. This is what I'm told. How has this happened to you? Matteo Lane told me this. And then I was like, Matteo, you're so hot. Look at the ass sits so high and round. Matteo has a very different experience coming to Italy than we would. He speaks the language. His ass sits high and round. What more could you ask for? What more could you ask for? Mad at me. Mad at me. He's getting... My ass is... Don't do this. It's been looking incredible. I don't know what to say. My ass is the Tower of Terror. It's a straight shot down. It's not gonna... I'm not getting any proposals. You know, they've changed the Tower of Terror. It now has all sorts of different dimensions, okay? So don't... So just know things... I don't know. Things are moving and shaking. What's my ass? You've got... You've got... Not my bestie. Triple Lutz. No, no, I'm so... I celebrate your ass. Thank you so much. You've got a triple Lutz. You've got a curling ass. Now, opening ceremony. Yeah, right. I was going to say, opening ceremony. So, then the rings come together. That was insane. That took my breath away. That was breathtaking. Because they were not super secure on those things. You couldn't see the wires. Because it made me go, when Rihanna did this at the Super Bowl, when Beyonce did this at the Christmas show, the cowboy show. Yes. That was so good. Amazing. but they were making sure that those precious icons were stable yeah these people I guess they're professional acrobats right they were kind of doing it raw doing it raw they were doing um and someone's face just goes yeah they were sure um but you know that That happened. By the way, this was after the bop. Who knew the Italian National Anthem? Back to the drawing board. Back to the drawing board, America. There's like a whole movement shift in the Italian National Anthem. It sounds like a Celine Dion song from the 80s. Early 90s? 90s. It just sounds like a song that would win Eurovision. and it's their national anthem. It's amazing. Well, Italy's gotta bring it with the arts in every aspect. You know what I mean? Yeah. I didn't realize Italy was the club in this way. Well, there was a whole disco semi because they gave us disco. Italo disco is some of the best. Yeah. Well, anyway, the music throughout the evening was incredible and I can't get over the national anthem. I'm going to be streaming. Laura Passini is who. Laura Passini. Did you know of her? I didn't. I was very excited to watch her really slay in front of 60,000 people. She definitely did that. She definitely did that. Then we have our ring moment. That was cool. Then we have the Parade of Nations. That's where I went. Canada. Canada really brought it. I thought you were going to say, and that's where I went. I'm getting a hot dog. I'm getting a hot dog. I did get a hot dog. We did take a break then. We got a hot dog. We got up and, you know, we were told this is the time to get a drink and a snack. So we said, okay. So we said okay. But then we made sure we were seeing them. We didn't see a lot of the athletes come in. This was a widespread opening ceremony. Which, that might be my I don't think so, honey, later that we're doing this sort of for a different segment. Widespread kept being said. Widespread was said many times. They're very interested in us knowing all about how the spread is wide. And it makes me go, let's think about the ways in which that word is used. lately it hasn't been great widespread widespread sort of transmission widespread unrest I'm throwing it back to all of my life you're gonna give everyone PTSD this is what being in Milan is like right now it is triumphantly saying we overcame so many things. Yeah. Period. We overcame those hot dogs. Barely. Can I just say, San Siro, this bathroom's tough. Oh, that was crazy. It was like prison. Stop. Now. Me stop. I wasn't even the one that brought it up. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to silence. Can I say we had an amazing time in the stadium? An amazing time in the stadium. Would go there. Go there again. Good enough for Taylor. Good enough for us. This is Ryder Strong with a podcast called The Red Weather. In 1995, my neighbor, Anna Traynor, disappeared from a commune.

We were not the only ones to say that it was Angie Katzenavis coated either. And that is the second Salt Lake City Housewives reference on the episode so far. There has to be a third now. Oh, I have a third. Great. I have a third. coming soon. And then that happens and then you would cut to what I want to say. We definitely cut to Cortina. Yeah. And then we, I think we might have cut to Lavinio. Yes, I think there was a whole lot of cutting between. Hence the widespread aspect. But it was beautiful. It was beautiful because the athletes got so much applause and it felt incredible and we joined in. And we are very excited to be here, like, celebrating these American athletes. I was watching going like, oh, God, there's something really profound about everybody from around the world being here at the same time. Yeah, absolutely. For the same occasion. Here's the third Salt Lake City reference. Go on. Charlize Theron comes out looking like Whitney Rose Ha ha ha ha Compliments to everyone Compliments to everyone Quoting her countrymen her fellow countrymen South Africa. Nelson Mandela. Talking about peace. And I go, there's something really powerful about the woman who played Eileen Wuornos, Furiosa, and Miss Atomic Blonde. And Old Guard. She's played violent women. She was in the movie Mighty Joe Young. And people don't remember that. People don't remember that. But this lady who has seen violence up close has enacted violence for the cameras. Yes. For a woman to know violence. And say, Guys, from Atomic Blonde. Cut it out. Cut it out. With the war. For C's sake. Made me go, this is impactful.

The perfect... synchronizing of the Olympic torch flame to the beat of Nessun Dorma sung by literally Pavarotti, who's still able to... Bocelli. Uh-oh. When you say literally and it's wrong, I meant Bocelli. Okay. Leave it all in. I don't care. You think I care? You think he cares? Oh, God. We find out he's a huge fan of this podcast. I was listening to my favorite podcast and then you're getting on Poverotti. Is that anywhere near what he might sound like? Lorne. It's got a Bocelli. Lorne. Now is the time, Lorne. Now is the perfect opportunity. Put me on. Bocelli, perfectly synchronized with the lighting of the Olympic Hall. And Nessun Dorma, it is the most beautiful song. From Step Brothers. Yeah. that's where the world knows it first stepbrothers now secondarily the opening ceremony and that capped it all off it was gorgeous I take issue with it being called a cauldron I don't like that it's like they're gonna light the cauldron it's too witchy and like let's leave witches out of it well I celebrate witches I celebrate witches too I don't think it's stolen valor from witches you know what I mean what came first the witches of the olympics probably the well i think i think olympus olympus came first the mountain okay because did witches start in salem no certainly they've been since the beginning of time honey we've been trying to get women since the dawn of humanity get women we've been trying to get them that's what i'm saying now we could use one on this podcast i was gonna say i don't i take issue with it being called cauldrons because guess what the word cauldron is in italian go ahead calderone and that is the last name of lady gaga joe calderone persona joe calderone so that's probably why joe cauldron but it makes me go well now i'm now now i'm off in another sort of thought starter i'm not thinking about the olympics no more you're thinking about gaga just call it the olympic bowl also bowl i can't believe you call and Pavarotti. It's time to give out our bronze, silver, and gold medal for this episode of Two Guys, Five Rinks. One of the best episodes we've ever done of this show. You think so? Yeah, I think we absolutely tore. I think we ate. Everything we ate at the Olympics. Just us sitting right here. What's the bronze medal of the Olympic opening ceremony? Milan, Cortina 2026 for you. I'm going to give bronze to um oh what's her name again? Matilda. Matilda. No no no. Laura Passini. Laura Passini singing the Italian national anthem. That was so rousing. What? We didn't even talk about Sabrina Pachatore. Valentina. From the White Lotus. So just to recap. This means she deserves the silver. This does mean she deserves the silver. Yeah. Go ahead and explain exactly how hard she went. Okay, so here's what happened in the storytelling. She's at home in her sweats, watching the opening ceremony, I think. Like, you know, like, what the rest of the world is doing. Mm-hmm. For the people who are not lucky enough to be in the stadium like we were. She's watching at home in her sort of loungewear. Then, those two dastardly weasels, Stotes, Tina and Milo, pop up and start haranguing her. Harassing her, even. And she said, hey! No, she literally is. Hey! Yeah, yeah, yeah. She goes... And then it became something else. She goes, hey! Hey! What are you doing? My favorite Italian word? Gui. What's gui? Here. Or qua, which is there. Gui! No, no. Qua! Gui, gui. Gui. Gui. I can't stand this Whenever I say something exactly the way Quee Quee There you go Quee Quee Here here Qua She gets Sort of manhandled From quee de quoi By Tina and Milo And then she gets hurtled through like this AI animated AI? You know, whatever. She gets hurtled through all of the Olympics, the Winter Olympics past over the last 100 years, because it's been 100 years of the Winter Olympics. Wow. The Winter Games. And you do see the cool emblems of the past. Yeah. And then she lands in this metallic jumpsuit, bodysuit, bodycon suit. And she starts dancing to this contemporary Italian, the first Italian rap song called... Checks notes! Which is meant to be gibberish, I believe. Improvised text is an invented language that phonetically mimics English written by the iconic Italian singer Adriano Celentano. So then there's an amazing, again, interpretive dance, energized but interpretive dance, where she's dancing, I guess, about Olympic history. And then she slays and sells. Just like she did in White Lotus. Just like she did in White Lotus and The Paper. Oh, yeah. Which don't sleep on The Paper. She's very good at The Paper. She's very good at The Paper. She's very good at everything. She's kind of the Michael Scott of The Paper. I would say. We're allowed to talk about this at NBC. This is all why she's earned the silver medal today. Silver medal to Sabrina. And I think we have to give the gold medal to, and I'm going to say this, Andrea Bocelli. Thank you. Thank you. That's claptor for him and I for getting it right. Because come on. I mean, that was truly epic. And just gold medal, honorary gold, platinum medal, as it were, to Mike. To Mike. who directed the stuff. Yes. That was amazing. That was amazing. And now we get to meet him today? You already have. No, I said we got to meet him today. I remember. Unforgettable. But don't... Just like the opening ceremony of Milan Cortina 2026. Absolutely. But be careful around Mike because he might ask, he'll, you know... He might try to entrap you. Well, I'll be eating, I'll be eating something from the commissary. Be like, what do you think of those potatoes? I'll be like, they're good. That's my recipe. I made them. I made them. That was my grandmother's recipe for potatoes. So it's good you like it. Mike, great job. Great job. And great job to everyone here. We've had such a lovely time in the Cortina cabin.
