I think that, yeah, that's incredible to have a great niece make it to the Olympic team as a speed skater.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

Hold on.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Transition: Remembering Chicago's failed bid for the 2016 Olympics

It's sad that I wasn't more paying attention to national sports at the time when that happened, because like we heard about it, you know, and it was like, oh, Chicago has a bid.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Transition: Remembering Chicago's failed bid for the 2016 Olympics

It's going to go to the guy who put up the money.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

The other part about it is I heard you guys talk to Parashuts yesterday.
