- Tim expresses depression about the Olympics' popularity despite his negativity about the games being pointless and past their prime.
- Athletes got sick after swimming in the Seine River in Paris, with some hospitalized.
- Tim predicts the LA Olympics in four years will be chaotic with fires and black smoke obscuring events like pole vault.
- The Seine River's bacterial levels have been in flux, forcing test swims to be cancelled and the men's triathlon delayed.

- The solution, according to Tim, is to move the Olympics completely indoors and probably online.
