00:00I need help on this.
00:01Figgy, I tried like crazy to find this audio, and I couldn't find it.
00:05And it might not have even been in English, so I'm going to have to read the quotes.
00:09So, a Norwegian biathlete, which is the shooting and the skiing thing in the Olympics, won the bronze medal.
00:19So, why are we talking about a Norwegian bronze medalist, you may ask?
00:23I always ask myself that, honestly.
00:24Norwegian television went up to him to get an interview after he won the bronze medal, and he said this.
00:34There's something I need to say.
00:36There's someone I need to share this with.
00:39They might not be watching today.
00:42Six months ago, I met the love of my life.
00:45Oh, yeah.
00:46The most beautiful and kindest person in the world.
00:50Oh, yeah, I like this play.
00:51So, where do you think this is going, Figgy?
00:52Where do you think this is going?
00:53My man is doing the classifieds misconnections via the Olympics.
00:59Maybe.
01:00What do you think?
01:00At first, I thought it was a proposal.
01:02That's what I was going to say, yeah.
01:05Neither.
01:07What?
01:07He went on.
01:08Three months ago, I made the biggest mistake of my life and cheated on her.
01:13Oh, no!
01:14Oh, man.
01:16Did he say this on live TV?
01:18Live TV right after he won the bronze medal.
01:21This is a please, baby, please.
01:23Yes!
01:24This is a Robin Thicke album.
01:26Yes.
01:26An Olympic, please, baby, take me back.
01:28It's crazy.
01:29And it's an entanglement, if you will.
01:31What?
01:31It's an entanglement.
01:32So, I told her about it a week ago.
01:36This has been the worst week of my life.
01:39I want the whole world to know.
01:41No, you don't.
01:42Why?
01:42Why?
01:43I am asking for her forgiveness.
01:46Why?
01:48Time and place, buddy.
01:49Is the embarrassment supposed to do something?
01:51Time and place.
01:51I think for him, he's like, all right, so I'm going to fall on my sword and bear on my soul.
01:57And all this is for her is, you're embarrassing me in front of the world.
02:00What are you doing, dog?
02:02And not only that, I think the more disturbing part is, brother, you got a bronze.
02:06You ain't even getting moved.
02:09You doing this on a bronze medal?
02:11Come back to me when you get a gold medal.
02:13Yeah, man.
02:14Come on, now.
02:15You coming to me over this, and you third place.
02:19Dude, I thought he was going to propose.
02:21I got to get this off my chest.
02:22I cheated on her.
02:23I just watched the whole world.
02:24That's even, that's more embarrassing than the cheating.
02:26And it's more embarrassing for her.
02:28And look, this is a in-the-loop PSA.
02:32Don't do something like this.
02:33You think that what you're doing is like a sign of your love.
02:36All you're doing is making her more mad because you're embarrassing her in public.
02:40Yeah, and y'all know my PSA.
02:41Don't cheat in public.
02:43I feel like the last two words should not be that.
02:46Don't cheat in public.
02:47But definitely don't announce to the public that you cheated on me.
02:51To the world.
02:52Yeah.
02:53The entire world.
02:54Yeah, man.
02:55Don't tell the whole world.
02:56After you get bronze.
02:58Yeah.
02:58I was sitting there going, what?
03:00Yeah, you couldn't even.
03:01Yeah, you clearly wasn't mad enough because if he was mad, you would have gone and won gold, big dog.
03:05Yeah.
03:05What?
03:06You better ski and shoot faster.
03:08Third place.
03:09Oh, man.
03:10What do you think she's doing?
03:12Deleting his number.
03:14Blocking him on everything.
03:15She probably deactivated her social media account.
03:19Like, nah, man.
03:20He didn't say her name, though, right?
03:21There's no name in there?
03:22Well, I think it's probably easy to figure out, but I don't see a name.
03:25Man, social media can figure out anything.
03:27Yeah.
03:28I was like.
03:28Just embarrassment.
03:29Good Lord.
03:30Man, why?
03:32Why are we doing these things?
03:33Why are we doing these things?
03:33Why?
03:33Why are we doing these things?
