Olympics
Tim’s take
He starts out treating the Olympics as an institution that steamrolls public opinion, quoting Tokyo organizers who admit they'll "listen but won't be guided" by the 83% who opposed the games 1:07, and wondering whether adults watch at all 4:15. By Paris he says he's been nothing but negative because it's pointless and past its prime 27:54, and a year later calls it an embarrassment, judging friendships on whether someone brings it up 26:50. He keeps returning to the same bit that inspirational Olympian backstories have curdled into horror-story trauma dumps 5:55 14:46, and to a recurring fantasy that the Games could double as real conflict resolution — a ceasefire ceremony for Israel and Palestine 1:06:11, or letting warring nations fight it out even if a few bombs go off 55:50. He's equally dismissive of what hosting does locally, mocking Californians who think the LA Olympics will fix homelessness 5:34.
