00:00The Olympiad Joe continues to go on here as we get closer and closer to men's and women's gold medal
00:06games and a lot of fun speed skating taking place now big air a lot more Olympic games left to
00:12go but how about this Joe per the athletic Russian and Belarusian athletes will compete in the Paralympics in March
00:19under their national flags.
00:2020 competitors from Belarus and Russia are currently competing at the Winter Olympics as individual neutral athletes a I and
00:29here why can they do this here at the Paralympics but not the Olympics Joe what do we do.
00:33That's a good question but I may or may not have made some money banking on the Belarus handball team.
00:39Uh Donnie I have uh quite quite a good lead there at Bell don't don't sleep on them being able
00:45to pull down some medals uh uh but yes it's I don't know why they can't do it uh for
00:50the regular Olympics kind of makes no sense to me Donnie.
00:52Now by the way I assume they're doing just about every single sport that the actual Olympics do so do
00:58they have like the U.S. men's hockey team there the Paralympics where they're on like the little boards and
01:02they go around how tough is that man?
01:04Big time big time big time I don't know that I'd be able to make I mean let's face it
01:09this is uh you know you're talking about a whole different group of athletes who should have their own stage
01:14Donnie let's be honest.
01:16Yeah like by the way like when you see the like let's just call it like the New York marathon
01:19where like some of the Paralympic athletes go through there in the chair and they just have their arms like
01:24for 20 plus miles I mean some shout out crazy guys man absolutely amazing athletes at this point.
01:30But let's get to the medal count Joe with just five days of competition left Norway extending its lead in
01:36the 2026 Winter Olympics 31 total medals 14 golds leading the way Italy 24 U.S. 21 Germany 20 and
01:44Japan 19 Joe.
01:45I gotta ask you this question too because I start to see it coming up now where people are getting
01:48angry like well Norway has one guy that wins like seven gold medals like why is that fair?
01:52Why can't you have the team sports individually each get a medal as well?
01:56Starting to hear that Joe I am.
01:58Well it's uh it well we we had some just disappointing performances uh Donnie in the Winter Olympics thus far
02:06we had a lot of you know athletes and events that were at the very just were supposed to hit
02:12the podium forget about winning the gold but they didn't even hit the podium Donnie so it's been a it's
02:17been a rough stretch in some of these sports for Team USA.
02:21It has I was watching a speed skating event yesterday it was like three guys in a line they go
02:25up against Italy got smoked in the final when the Team USA was the favorite here come on now show
02:29up boys I know it's home ice advantage but come on get a couple wins here but maybe the most
02:33controversial athlete the most expensive athlete at the Winter Games Eileen Gu let's hear from her.
02:38Also do you see um these as two silvers gained or two goals lost?
02:45I'm the most decorated free skier female free skier in history I think that's a answer in and of itself
02:51um how do I say this winning a medal at the Olympics is a life-changing experience for every athlete
02:59doing it five times is exponentially harder because every medal is equally hard for me
03:05but everybody else's expectations rise right and so the two medals lost situation to be quite frank with you I
03:14think is kind of a ridiculous perspective to take um I'm showcasing my best skiing I'm doing things that quite
03:21literally have never been done before and so I think that is more than good enough but thank you.
03:29Yes so what she's saying things she's never people have never seen before is you are an American but you
03:34are participating for China and only for the paycheck you know what I would love to if she got through
03:38this hey look I got so much money coming in here from China like it'd be stupid for me not
03:42to and most people like you know what I respect that at that point because a lot of people have
03:46done a lot of things for more money even if it might not be the correct thing in a sports
03:50landscape here so I just wish I always again just come clean like Barry Bonds of course I took steroids
03:56and I used the
03:56cream I want to be the best player I want to be the best player you know what happened in
03:58three days he goes in the hall of fame Pete Rose day number one I'm a madman I had an
04:03addiction I gambled I'm sorry within a year he would have been in the hall of fame here just admit
04:07it and most people can move on Joe isn't that right you know Donnie I loved her response after the
04:13question because that laugh that she gave that guy was spot on that reporter don't think for one minute she's
04:21happy with silver that's not even remotely in the vocabulary she is a
04:26big part of her is bent that she didn't get so yeah the two of the two metals law yeah
04:32you did because you were supposed to get gold you probably thought you were gonna get gold and silver yeah
04:38is not gold so and that laugh tells me he hit it right on the head there
04:43yep got it right away that's it hey look dig a little bit deeper here get those responses we want
04:48how about Lindsay Vaughn haven't heard about her in a couple days well her leg is it still in pieces
04:53Joe that's the question
04:54yeah she said she I mean she's back in the U.S. right but said she has not been out
04:59of a bed or hasn't moved here since the accident not not just awful here uh it's gonna take a
05:06while let's face it it's gonna take a while before uh before the rehab and everything else begins as well
05:11and by the way I need an explanation on this team USA men's curling medal round hopes take a major
05:16hit with a loss to Italy I thought we beat Sweden for the medal I don't know I can't even
05:19think out of it here unreal is what's going on over at the Winter Olympics Joe let's take another look
05:23here
05:23I'm enjoying this year and again the best is yet to come in ice hockey here's a tweet from FanDuel
05:28yesterday
05:29it says U.S. really beat Italy by 30 in hockey let me go back what year was the U
05:35.S. we're looking at 23 to nothing games 31 to 1 games out here 20 to 1 games look at
05:40these
05:40how about the way by the way Canada Denmark 1949 Joe I know you probably can't see it on the
05:45screen here coming back 47 to nothing what kind of football game broke out on the ice there
05:51yeah um that's uh not exactly what I would call competitive uh at that point there were they playing anybody
05:59on that team that gave up how many 40 how many goals did they give up was anybody in net
06:04did they have a goaltender how does that work exactly I mean what was that game at top was it
06:08like Georgia Tech versus Cumberland whoever it was where they beat them like 300 to nothing at this point
06:12when does it stop is it a running clock at that point did they only have one player out there
06:17nobody had pads on in goal like that's the only thing I could think of Joe
06:21it makes no sense like I mean unless the other team were you not playing with a goalie there was
06:27nobody there to start like the no resist how many goals is that per period I mean you got
06:33that's absurd every other shot goes to hits the back of the net that's crazy absolutely just think about somebody
06:39at 1949 running around town like yeah I hit the over four and a half they scored 47 goals in
06:44this game or maybe they had a lightning net back in the day Joe in the 40s where it's like
06:48hey
06:48every goal over five gets you paid even more money and bankrupted some of those locals out here how about
06:53Martin Nekas and David Pasternak pasta man helping Czechia move into the Olympic qualification playoff here
06:59they will take on Canada uh-oh in the men's quarterfinals
07:03yeah no that was actually a pretty good uh pretty good match too but uh you know don't forget everybody
07:09gets reseated I think after this right uh Donnie so uh it's uh it'll be interesting to see if all
07:16goes well and it remains chalky we're still looking at Canada 1 and USA 2 anyway
07:21yes we are confirmed Joe USA will face Sweden in the Olympic quarterfinals and away we go don't mess this
07:28up Sweden don't you look the only thing I can't mess it up is I guess if the US and
07:32Canada
07:32meet in the bronze medal game but that'll be sort of anticlimactic don't you mess this up we deserve USA
07:38Canada men's and women's here at the Olympics we do
07:41yeah yeah and I think we'll get it I mean Czechia going up against Canada right now right I believe
07:46uh or that game's coming up at uh
07:48yeah no that was uh it's the get ready to puck is getting ready to drop here I think so
07:53we got a lot of hockey going on here uh today but
07:57you know I think it's going to be a little chalky Donnie I don't think we're getting any real crazy
08:01upsets from this point forward
08:03yeah how about Slovakia pound in Germany right now four to one then you have coming up a little bit
08:08later 1040
08:09that is Canada and Czechia minus 1450 on that money line and then Sweden versus the USA Joe
08:17USA only a minus 260 favorite don't let us down Team USA don't do it we want that final and
08:23you
08:24want our number two coming up next you know what else the people we got to get out of honesty
08:27for
08:28what they like in our fade the public poll here comes up now
08:38stop what you're doing today in the afternoon why because Sweden's going to take on the men's hockey team
08:43here and we asked a question you to the public on what you think the outcome could possibly be
08:47will Sweden upset the USA in men's ice hockey never there's always a chance and yes the USA is overrated
08:53for me I took the simple answer Joe you see that check mark I went that way there's always a
08:57chance
08:59yeah it's always a chance but I think it all depends on who you ask right because I'm fairly certain
09:04if uh if we asked just strictly our Canadian brethren uh if uh Sweden or the US yeah I'm pretty
09:12sure they would have chosen yeah no they're there they stink not get yeah no uh Team USA is not
09:19losing
09:19to Sweden uh it's not happening uh they will advance and be the second seed that's it just get ready
09:26it's USA and Canada yeah even if you have to rig it everyone wants to see USA Canada you make
09:30more
09:31money the ratings are higher that's the way we get down the business
