• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Hey, that folks. It is Thursday, February twelfth, and we
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: have a major update on the story out of the
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Olympics that every body was buzzing about. The olympian who
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: won a medal and then immediately in his post race
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: interview confessed and apologized for being unfaithful to his ex girlfriend. Well,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: he has now issued another apology to the same ex
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: girlfriend and with that, welcome to this episode of Amy
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: and TJ. I got this right. He's essentially apologizing for
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: the first apology.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Correct, and he's apologizing to his extual friend and to
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: his teammates.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: A lot of folks, almost his whole country. Is he not?
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Pretty much? Yes, he's on an apology tour after winning
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: a medal. It doesn't make any sense.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Okay, has this story now taken what kind of a turn?
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Let's start at the beginning. I think a lot of
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: people have seen this. Now, Norwegian athlete, he is a
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: ski by athlete, gets a bronze medal, post race in
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: view apological confession just out of nowhere, tearfully says I'm sorry,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: I love you, I want you, blah blah blah. We'll
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: get into exactly what he said. The story then what
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: did you think of it? Because it's taking a turn now,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: but right then, and what did you see people saying?
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Were they going, oh, or give them a shot or
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: give them credit? I guess what was the What was
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: your feeling and everybody's feeling.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Then, initially it's a little shocking because you're expecting someone
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: to be crying tears of joy after just meddling in
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: the Olympics, something you've spent your entire life working towards.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: So it's bizarre first of all. And then part of
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: me was like, Oh, that's that's actually so interesting something
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: about human nature that even at one of the greatest
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: moments of your life, one of the greatest physical achievements
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: anyone could possibly reach or attain, and you're thinking about
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: an ex girlfriend. And I actually thought that was a
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: really a human moment. So I was like, Wow, that's
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: so relatable, and that's so interesting the power of love.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: That's a good point.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: I really was kind of taken back by that. But
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: I have some really funny things that people wrote. One
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: of the sweeter spokes sports journalists, Yes said that was
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: the strangest metal interview I've ever seen. Put this in
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: the post race interview Hall of Fame, the most bizarre
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: moment of the Olympics just dropped. Yeah, so everybody was
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: just kind of scratching their heads, like, why choose that
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: moment to say that?
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Did you feel it was bizarre? Yeah, something you had signed. Okay,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: now that he has come back out and issued another
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: apology that we're going to get into and explain, how
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: do you feel about the story now? Because he's essentially
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: apologizing for being a distraction and for putting his ex
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: girlfriend out there and he didn't say her name, but
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: for putting this under that type of scrutiny, has your
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: tone or any feeling about the story change now?
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Yes? I think that was the right thing for him
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: to do. I think he realized it after the fact.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: I think it was indulgent of him, and maybe he
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: was just being super honest. Maybe he was embarrassed that
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: he was crying and he felt like, you know what,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: I got to just go ahead and admit what's going on.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: But he was doing it as a strategy to win
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: her back. I don't think that lands with any of it.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Was he confessed to that, he admitted that, yes, I
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: got a wander back, and I'd feel bad if I
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: if there was a chance and I didn't shoot my.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Shop, fine, but that feels controlling and manipulative.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Woo there it is all right, folks. Let's tell you
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: what we're talking about here. This is sterla Holme Lagrett
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: is his name. He is a Norwegian skier, but he
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: does the biathlon. If you don't know what that is,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: you have to it seems odd. They ski and then
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: they stop and shoot a rifle. That is what is okay,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: don't know when those skills come in tandem.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: There must have been some ancient time when this was
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: a way to prove your strength and your ability to
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: take care of your people.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: All right, so fine, it's a cool thing to kind
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: of watch. So he's a Norwegian biathlete. He placed third
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: in his race earlier this week. Now he's twenty eight
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: years old, placed dan pretty young, twenty eight years old.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: He gets a bronze. He gets off. You've seen this before, folks.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: They get off their state as soon as the race
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: is over, and somebody, usually from their country will come
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: over and from the press and get something quick. So
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: sure thing, some now Reegian outlet talk to him, robes,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: tell the folks what he said that got this whole
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: thing started in the first place, and keep in mind
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: a lot of this, he said through tears.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Yes he did. He had tears in his eyes streaming
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: down his face. There is someone I wanted to share
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: this with who might not be watching today. Six months ago,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: I met the love of my life.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Come on, stop it.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: That's also where I kind of fell off a little.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: I was like, six months.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Ago, stop robes. Come on.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Six months ago, he met the love of his life,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: the most beautiful, kindest person in the world. Three months ago,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: I made the biggest mistake of my life and was unfaithful.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: I told her a week ago, and it's been the
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: worst week of my life. I had a gold medal
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: in life, and there's probably a lot of people out
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: there who look at me differently now, but I only
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: have eyes for her. Sports have taken a bit of
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: a back seat these past couple of days. Yeah, I
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: wish I could share this with her. And that is
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: a strange thing to say when you are actually competing
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: at the Olympics, which right on the same week that
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: you say, sports took a bit of a back seat
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: for me. This week when he was competing in the Olympics.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: But I mean, look, I could all I was looking
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: at it. This as wow, this is the power of
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: relationships in our life. Like it trumps everything. It trumps
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: any sort of gold medal you might be winning, or
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: any sort of achievement you might have. If your love
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: life is out of whack, nothing feels good you.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: That's very good lesson you're teaching us here, Robes, because
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: so many people are wanting to do it's this or that.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Take this side. He did the right thing, This is romantic.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Others looking at it, you lost her, you screwed up,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: and blah blah blah, and wanted to dismiss the guy,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: like there's a side splitting. But sometimes it's just a
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: matter of taking a lesson in what you're seeing in
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: front of us, Robes. That is so such a good point.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: We see all these stories of all these these athletes
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: and everything that went through. But every time family member
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: in the stands, there's somebody there they love. The first
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: thing they talk about at their speech or their press
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: conference is some family members somebody that draw of. He
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: has a bronze medal at the Olympics, the highlight of
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: his life, quite possibly, and it maybe doesn't feel as
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: good as it should because there's nobody there to hug,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: there's nobody there to kiss, there's nobody there to shared with.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Sometimes you don't know what you got until it's gone.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: That is a good, very good point. The draw of
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: human nature. This is that human emotion. So you talked
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: about a little bit. What the world reaction was, he
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: said plenty. Also, I don't want to say he changed
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: his tune, but things started to change a little bit
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: after the metal ceremony and at the press conference to
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: where he was still this is where ropes. He made
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: clear he was trying to get her back.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, he said, I have nothing to lose. I
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: had a chance at true love, and I screwed up
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: so badly. It's not necessarily forgivable. But if this gives
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: me a tiny chance to tell her how much I
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: love her, I'd rather commit social suicide on live TV
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: just to get that little chance. I'm not ready to
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: give up. I accept the consequences of what I've done.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: I regret it with all my heart. Maybe I'm dumb
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: as a rock. I'm a member of MENSA, but I
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: still do stupid stuff.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Oh that was funny, I thought that was funny. So
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: today I don't know if he is a member of MENSAE.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: I actually was like, wait, does he have the proof
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: of that? So today I made the choice to tell
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: the world what I did. So maybe there is a
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: chance that she will see what she really means to
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: me and maybe not. But I don't want to think
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: I didn't try everything to get her back.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: I think roll and here is where and there is
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: so much and right just about relationships that we all experience.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: But there's something you have spoken on. I don't see
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: as much or understand as much, this idea that it's
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: manipulative where you can see something and someone else thought
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: might think is romantic, where his heart is broken or sympathized.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: You saw something else happening, and I think that's why
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: he ended up issuing another apology based on I can't
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: even articulate the way you put it, but you saw
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: something in this that was wow wow, Like he was
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: doing something to her in that moment.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's trying to control the situation, and he's trying
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: to basically by making this big grand gesture in front
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: of the world. He looks like a guy who's just
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: you know, messed up. And is saying he's sorry and
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: please love me. At his grandest, greatest moment, He's it.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: I don't like big, grand gestures like that. I would
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: rather a small, intimate note where no one else heard it,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: no one else saw it. It was just intended for
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: me because it wasn't about a show. It was about
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: actually creating an intimate moment where you can be honest
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: and real and let someone know how much you love them.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: But to do it with a microphone and a world
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: watching it feels manipulative and controlling.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: And obviously we don't know the guy and not going
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: to indict him for however, it was how his heart
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: was breaking, what he was feeling, and it happened in
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: the moment, whatever it may be. But it's it's so
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: interesting how we all watch these things and you immediately
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: read or something stood out to you that I don't
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: think I necessarily would have thought about. But his apology
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: now Robes, and it's taking on a different tone because
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: he's getting I mean, he's getting ripped in some circles,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: and in particular we're going to talk about the ex girlfriend,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: but Robes, his teammate won the damn gold medal. Why
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: are we talking about your bullshit?
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Yes? And you know what, I didn't even think about that.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: But when he now put out this new apology to
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: not only his ex girlfriend we'll get into that, but
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: also to his teammate, that hit for me. I thought,
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: you know what, that wasn't fair, because now the story
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: is about the third place, the bronze medalist's ex girlfriend,
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: and no one's talking about the gold medalist, because this
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: story was so out of left field and captured the
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: attention of everyone in that moment, and so his teammate
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: didn't get maybe all the glory he would have got otherwise.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: So still in the press converse late when they have
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: them sitting up their own podium as a team thing,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, he even, I mean almost rudely. I guess
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: he was making a joke. His teammate was answering, and
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: he said, oh yeah, I didn't mean to take the attention,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: And even while his teammate was answering, he was interrupting,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: almost still with his own thing. Again, I want to
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: leave room for this guy being heartbroken. We've all done
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: some stupid stuff in love and heartbroken and whatever it
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: may be. But right now, the tone of a lot
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: of this robes is about wow, you did your teammates
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: like that?
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and so he does have a new apology out.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: He said, I deeply regret that I brought up this
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: personal story on what was supposed to be a day
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: of celebration for Norwegian Norwegian biathlon. I am not quite
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: myself these days, and I am not thinking clearly. My
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: apologies go to Johann Alloff as his teammate was Johan Oloff.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: What a great Norwegian name, Johan Oloff, who deserved all
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: the attention after winning the goal.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he needed to say that that came out. I
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: think they're Olympic committee in Norway. But it's done now, right,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: It's already out there, It's already happened. I'm not sure.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: I know a lot of coverage. I didn't look at
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: it as closely, but mainstream coverage of this. I know
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: you read a lot of comments online and wasn't I
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: but was it being read as something funny or cute
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: or heartachey or some you know what this running me of?
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: And you would have brought this up before me some
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: rom com set up, right, This is exactly what you'd
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: see in ron.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: It's like a script out of a movie, right, except
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: for the movie would end with the girlfriends running into
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: his arms. She was there all along. She just didn't
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: want him to know she was actually in this state,
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: you know whatever. Yes, that would be the happy ending
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: with the bow on top.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: However, folks, that is not it appears how this story
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: is going to end. Yes, we have heard from the
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: ex girlfriend. Sounds like she ain't trying to hear shit.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: Welcome back everyone to Amy and TJ. Where we are
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: talking about I didn't even say what you So we
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: put out episodes. We kind of order how we want
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: to talk about things and what we want to talk about,
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: and we give them titles. You called this naughty Norwegian.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: That just made me laugh. It was say you're like
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: his name was too hard to say. But Sterla. Sterla
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: has apologized and apologized again now for apologizing in the
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: first place to his girlfriend on international television after he
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: won the bronze, stealing the spotlight so to speak, from
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: his teammate who won the gold, and trying to win
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: back his girlfriend's affection. So he had to apologize again
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: for the apology, first to his teammate, but he also
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: to his ex girlfriend. Then said The apology also goes
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: to my ex girlfriend who involuntarily ended up in the
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: media spotlight. I hope she is doing well. He may
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: not have said her name, but it doesn't take long
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: for intrepid journalist to put two and two together. And yes,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: the girlfriend was found by a tabloid and she did
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: end up speaking up and speaking out about her ex
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: boyfriend's very public display of please take me back.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: This seemed classy to me. It seemed classica, and her
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: name was not put out there. But she said this
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: to the outlet quote it is hard to forgive him,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: even after a declaration of love in front of the
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: whole world. She should never have to make a comment
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: about this, this Groves. This is when they mentioned I
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: think I immediately thought of the ex girlfriend when he
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: did it, I immediately thought oof, So on a stage
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: like this and the social media these days, now she's
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: going to be under spotlight. That's tough. I did not
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: immediately think about his teammates, and when I certainly want
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: is bad. When I put the two together, I'm like,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: what a shame. And he's getting the attention and even
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: some positive attention. But those two groups, right, the ex
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: girlfriend and her family and friends and the teammates really
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: got screwed.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: Yep, agreed, really got screwed and he didn't think it through.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: I don't think he was not intending to do harm,
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: but it still caused harm, and so it's good that
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: he apologized again. And the girlfriend went on to say this,
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: which is what really brought it home. I did not
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: choose to be put in this position, and it hurts
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: to have to be in it. That's interesting, she said.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: We have had contact and he is aware of my
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: opinions on this. I'm sure she let her opinions be
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: very well known about his public may I.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Call I wondered if this was somewhere lost in translation
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: between Norwegian and English. Maybe it wasn't at all, because
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: that seems perfectly like political talk, like she nailed the language.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: It's classy. It's very he is aware of my opinions
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: on that. Without giving too much detail. She was giving
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: him more grace than he seemed to have given her. Yes,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: I thought that was really that was my favorite line.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: You know what, And it's funny you and I spent
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: some time in Sweden. I spent a little bit of
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: time in Norway. That is so Norwegian of hert like,
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: it's just it's funny. They have this dry, this dry
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: way of delivering line, so they aren't rude, but they
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: just but you know how she feels without her actually
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: having to say how she feels. It's great. And then
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: she went on to say to my family and friends
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: who have embraced me and supported me during this time,
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: also to everyone else who has thought of me and
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: sympathized without knowing who I am, that's pretty cool. Wow,
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: I don't think he's getting her back.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: I like this late, and you know, what is anybody
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: rooting for that? Necessarily we don't know the background. When
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: you brought this story to me, you were very excited
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: about it, and you told me all this and we
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: got to do the I sat down read it for
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: a little while, and the first thing I said to
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: you was six months.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: I know, because I was thinking the love of his life.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Look love at first, sich you can in one week,
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: you can when you know you know. But apparently he
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: didn't know three months in. And it's interesting that he chose.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: I also thought this, Why did he tell her the
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: week before he left for the Olympics that timing is everything?
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Maybe maybe wait until all of this stuff is done
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: and over. I'm so curious why he chose to do that.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Then there's never a wrong time to do the right thing.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: I know what.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Okay, maybe he was delayed in telling her, maybe, but
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: you don't want robes Still I'm going back to what
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: you said. Even if he needs to get it off
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: his heart, I'll use that word. It's still it was
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: for him. It still was something he needed to go
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: to the Olympics, maybe to have his nails.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: That is such a good que I mean.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: He didn't do that for her. He had three months
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: to do so why choose? Then? We can't we assume
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: as well her bags were packed. Can't we assume as
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: well that she had been planning to go there to
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: be with him at the Olympics. Can't we assume that? Why?
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know it's the other woman in an athlete.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: I'm just throwing h I don't know the other person.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Saying to you that. Why in the week ahead?
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: You know what, I had not thought about that. But
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: therapists will tell you a lot of people will say
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: when they go and admit that they did something, it's
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: for you. It's for you to remove guilt, that you
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: can be free now you don't have to feel guilty
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: or bad. And that could have That could absolutely way
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: an athlete done. Any sort of mental disruption like that
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: could be the difference between winning and completely losing, and
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: especially when you're skiing, and yeah, you need to be
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: mentally sharp. And he probably my guess is thought, Oh,
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: I'll tell her we'll have this heart to heart moment.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: I will feel free of guilt. We'll be together, and
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: now I'll be able to race and everything will be good.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: And she broke up with him, and he wasn't expecting that.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: He wasn't anticipating that. That was the wrinkle in his plan.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: And obviously we don't know. We're not speculating about a
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: crime here. So I don't feel as bad. But you're
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: looking for reasons you're looking for Look, we're always trying
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: to understand human relationship. We're always trying to figure this out.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: And to think a guy's about to have the greatest
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: or the biggest event in his life. He has the
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: woman who is the woman that he wants to be
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: with in his life, and now how do you make
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: those two things go together when you have this thing
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: weighing you down. Maybe it was too much, and maybe
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: that's why I always people are not meant to be
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: dismissed because of the mistakes they make. Don't know what
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: these circumstances were and whatever. But he confess to it,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: and fine, she's not dismissing him. She just doesn't want
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: to be in a relationship with him. Doesn't mean he
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: has to be dismissed from his team, from his country
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: for anything else. I want to bronze for his country.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: But we can take a look at this robes. It
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: is so incredible to think that the only thing that
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: mattered to this guy who's screwed up in that moment.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Not to say he deserved to have her there, but
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: it hurts him not like this. Still, yeah, I need something.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: He had no one to go put around him, and
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: certainly that's punishment in addition to the other one. But man,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: it's he did.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: That girl wrong with yes, but yes, and he did
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: and he is paying the consequences for it. But this
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: is to me a story that just reflects the power
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: of love. When it's gone, nothing else matters. It's kind
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: of like your health. You know, you might take it
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: for granted, but when it's gone. And maybe that's what
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: happened three months into his relationship. But when you see
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: what you've lost, that's when the perspective hits you like
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: a ton of bricks. And no matter what you're going through,
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: the ups and the downs, if you have lost love,
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: it's everything.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: What another in a long line of I guess robes.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Just in the history of the Olympics, we get these
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: odd sport adjacent stories. This is another one. I'm fascinated
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: by it. Who knows if there's anything else to come
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: out of this, but he says he wants to be
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: back with her. She doesn't sound like there's a chance.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: In hell, it doesn't seem like that's the case. But
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: we will of course stay up on this story. If
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: there are any new developments, we'll be on top of
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: it for you. And of course we've been having fun
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: watching the Olympics. Hope you all have two but we
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: will have plenty more stories where that came from, hopefully,
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: because the Olympics usually never fails to deliver entertainment along
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: with the sports and without everyone. Thank you for watching
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: or for watching us listen to me, Thank you for
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: listening to us. I'm Amy Roebuck alongside TJ. Holmes. We
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: will talk to you soon.
