We're gonna talk about, wow, so many things that happened over the weekend, particularly the Super Bowl and everything that goes on with that. American politics, of course, front and center in Milan at the Winter Olympics. Everyone wants to make a statement.
Also, you know, law enforcement was getting iced out by liberals at Super Bowl 60, but we're going to get into the halftime show and maybe my unpopular opinion. I was fighting with Justin before the show started, so we're all fired up and ready to go. And yes, protesters are still going out into Minnesota, but now they're using sex toys on each other. And that's not what it sounds like.
It's not what it looks like. So put your phones on. Do not disturb. Scrolling with Haley starts right now. All right, well, ice and the Winter Olympics go hand in hand. Ice skating, ice hockey, ice dancing, curling. Ice is a big part of the Winter Olympics.
But with everything going on in the U.S., how can they celebrate these icy winter sports while also icing out immigration and customs enforcement? That seems to be the name of the game. I saw this USA Today headline, woke as ever. Their sports coverage, woke as ever. Olympics hospitality space Ice House renamed Winter House after ice protests.
Christine Brennan is one of the worst over there, by the way. So U.S. figure skating, U.S. hockey, and U.S.

Chapter 2: How are Winter Olympians influencing American politics?
speed skating decided to change the name of the Ice House. It's been the Ice House. Now it's the Winter House. This is the statement that they actually gave to USA Today. Our hospitality concept was designed to be a private space free of distractions, where athletes, their families, and friends can come together to celebrate the unique experience of the Winter Games.
This name captures that vision and connects us to the season and the event. You know, Ice House would have been just fine, But they did this because ICE agents and Homeland Security Investigations agents are in Milan providing security, which has sparked protests in Milan. So this distraction that they're talking about, these teams talking about this distraction, it's not really ICE's fault.
ICE isn't the distraction. It's the liberals' reaction to ICE. It's their fault. Anyway. But the U.S. teams changed the name because, you know, they didn't want more protests at their venue and wanted to distance themselves from ice. Which, honestly, I don't blame them for not wanting protests at their thing, considering how annoying and distracting and sometimes violent the protesters get.
I think, best case scenario, protests are... Annoying? Worst case scenario, they're deadly. So I wouldn't want protests by my venue anyway, right?
Chapter 3: What protests are happening related to ICE during the Super Bowl?
And the Homeland Security agents are there to mitigate kinds of threats like that anyway. And then certainly greater threats like terrorist threats on the world stage. I guess American idiots think that ICE is just Trump's secret police because that's what the media has told them.
and that they deport minorities just like willy-nilly because they feel like it, but they actually do serve purposes beyond their fear-mongering fantasies. Now, a lot of these, I'm calling them celebrities, but a lot of these athletes that are on the world stage, they have big followings, they're influencers,
Aside from being athletes, it kind of goes hand in hand, but they all have a huge platform on social media. And this guy, Gus Kenworthy, he is a freestyle skier. And he posted this on Instagram a few days ago. And this is, I guess you could call this a protest, but it's, well, he just peed in the snow, really. I don't really know if that's...
effective i don't think it's an effective protest i think it's pretty nasty i think it's pretty gross but if we could pull this up and we could see it he i i mean i think unless it's ai this seems like very neat to pee f ice into the snow something i think i think this has to be Um, like AI or something. How do you, how do you write that neatly with your P? I don't know.
But F ice in the snow, pretty gross if you ask me. Um, and this guy is British American. He's representing Britain in the Olympics, not even the United States, but he's keeps the United States in his mouth and in his pee in the snow. I mean, it just seems like he can't get away.
And it seems like he's a dual citizen who can come and go as he pleases because he follows the law and most likely has correct documentation. So I'm not sure what his beef with ICE is. You know, any immigrant can enjoy those same privileges so long as they abide by the rules and don't commit any crimes. So I don't really understand what the beef is. Then this is another just media...
This just gets me. Out sports. The fact that there is, and listen, I guess it's capitalism, right? Is there a need and a want, a demand for a sports platform that only covers gay athletes? I guess. I don't know. But this is called Out Sports. And Out Sports did this piece on Amber Glenn, a United States figure skater. And they wrote this. At the U.S.
Figure Skating Championships in Missouri, queer representation wasn't just present, it was central to the narrative of the event. Really? Two skaters in particular, Jason Brown and Amber Glenn, brought a visible, unapologetic queerness to the ice.
Yes.

Chapter 4: What controversial changes were made to the Ice House at the Olympics?
I certainly wasn't gonna make it to the Olympics, but any guy that I knew that was a figure skater was gay because at the rink that I skated at, if the guys weren't gay, they were playing hockey. So I don't know, I'm not saying that they're all gay. I know that, I think there's a US ice dancing duo that is married. So I'm not saying that they're all gay.
I'm just thinking like, is this really the first gay figure skater to go to the Olympics? That seems sus to me, but whatever. Anyway, I thought that this was funny that they have to make this post in general. Like what does sexuality have to do with figure skating? What does sexuality have to do with anything? Nothing.
I've never watched the Olympics and wondered who the athletes were attracted to. I've never wondered what they do behind closed doors, with whom. It's never occurred to me. I don't care who they're attracted to. That used to be the norm. You used to be able to watch the Olympics in sports and not give a damn about any of that.
Now it seems like sexuality is so top of mind all the time, even when it's not relevant. I am more interested in how much these athletes work out, what they eat, how they sleep, how long do they sleep? How do they train? How do they recover? How do they warm up? How do they cool down? How did they get into this sport? Like normal athlete questions.
That is what I'm interested in because these people are the elite of the elite. I want to know how you got there. It's aspirational. I don't care who you sleep with, but now it's all about sexuality. And of course, on the world stage, it's all about politics. So here is U.S. figure skater Amber Glenn discussing how hard it is for gay people in America right now. Watch.
Yeah, it's been a hard time for the community overall under this administration. It isn't the first time that we've had to come together as a community and try and fight for our human rights. And now, especially, it's not just affecting the queer community, but many other communities. And I think that We are able to support each other in a way that we didn't have to before.
And because of that, it's made us a lot stronger. I hope I can use my platform and my voice throughout these games to try and encourage people to stay strong in these hard times.
Stay strong? Stay strong in these hard times? What hard time? What's hard? What is harder for gay people right now? What human rights do they have to fight for, right? Do they not have the right to life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, the right to privacy, fair trial, free speech, freedom from torture and discrimination?
How out of touch do you have to be to be on the world stage to talk about how hard it is to be gay in the most tolerant country on earth? You look stupid. You're making us all look stupid. There are 65 countries that have anti-homosexuality laws, and a lot of them are competing in the Olympics, by the way.

Chapter 5: What implications does the Minneapolis protest have on national politics?
As a black woman from Somalia, she felt like an alien. Am I wearing the correct clothing for this? Does it fit? Do I look weird? Am I snowboarding correctly? Do they think it's weird I'm on the slope, she said. But I carried on. I felt if I didn't, I was never going to commit to anything in my life. Now, those questions. Isn't that how everyone feels starting something new?
Sure, there could be an added layer of insecurity because she's Somali, I guess. But feeling out of place when trying a new sport or anything new is pretty universal. You know, these are the questions she was asking herself. Am I wearing the correct clothing for this? Does it fit? Do I look weird? Am I snowboarding correctly?
These are all questions I would ask myself if I started skiing right now. I don't know how much that has to do with race, but surely the AP will tell us.
Some of the chat said it's kind of like bananas and rice.
Sweden is sending a team made up almost exclusively of ethnically Swedish athletes. Let me just read that again in case you guys didn't get that. Sweden is sending a team made up of almost exclusively ethnically Swedish athletes. Am I supposed to be shocked? Am I supposed to be shocked? Am I supposed to be outraged? Well, duh.
Then they said with NHL player Mika something or other, whose father is from Iran, a rare exception. That hardly reflects the diversity of the Nordic country. About 2 million of its 10 million residents were born abroad. About half of them in Asia or Africa. Who cares? I mean, 2 million out of 10 million? So again, why are we shocked? Also, let me reiterate, who cares?
What does this have to do with sports? The lack of athletes of color at the Winter Olympics and in winter sports in general has been a recurring theme in the U.S., which is sending one of its most diverse teams to the games. Well, thank goodness. It hasn't gotten the same attention in Europe.
The Olympic rosters of France, Germany, Switzerland, and other European winter sports nations look a lot like Sweden's, overwhelmingly white and lacking the immigrant representation seen in their soccer or basketball teams. I feel racist just reading this out loud. I do. I feel racist reading that article.
Doesn't it feel kind of racist and weird to be looking at the rosters of majority white countries and then crunching the numbers to shame them for being white? And then to write an article slapping them on the wrist for not sending more black people and getting mad that people of color are only on the soccer and basketball teams. Why is that bad?

Chapter 6: How are LGBTQ athletes represented in the Olympics?
I was happy. I said this on Friday's show. I was just happy to see that the Chiefs weren't in it. The Eagles weren't in it. We got some new blood in there. I really would love to see the Bills make it to the Super Bowl. I'm not really necessarily a huge Bills fan, but I just think Josh Allen's cool. Would love to see a New York team head to the Super Bowl. And yeah, I don't know.
I'm rooting for the Bills. They weren't on the field last night, so that's how I feel. But we're here to talk about the halftime show performance and the alternative on TPUSA. So Bad Bunny was the pick, the choice, for the Super Bowl halftime show performance, as we know. And Jay-Z is behind it. It's Jay-Z and Tidal, and they're behind whoever is performing in the halftime show.
And it just seems interesting because Bad Bunny... I can't name a song, and it seems like no one on the Seahawks could. Christian McCaffrey couldn't. Mike Vrabel couldn't. Watch this.
What's your favorite Bad Bunny song? I already got one, sorry about that. I don't know who that is. I've never heard of Bad Bunny. I don't know who that is. Performing at halftime. Yeah, I don't know who that is. I don't know no Bad Bunny song. Do you think they made a mistake? I believe so. I ain't never heard a bro till now. I don't have one. I don't listen to them. I don't know any song.
I don't have one. Oh, what the heck's it called? I'd like to know the name of it. I don't think I have one. I don't know a Bad Bunny song. That's a tough one. I don't have one. I don't really listen to Bad Bunny, but I can't lie. I really do not know any. I don't listen to any songs. I don't even, I don't know any to keep a G. I just tuned into Bad Bunny this morning. Is it DCMF?
Christian, what's your favorite Bad Bunny song? Favorite Bad Bunny song? Good question, man. I don't know. Have a good one.
Good question. Who is Bad Bunny going to bring out during halftime?
I can't watch it. Bring Beyonce back. Bring me up. Bring you up. You're going to bring it right away, bud. Cardi B. Does he normally bring somebody out? Yes. Like Morgan Wallen? G-Ma. He's bringing out my G-Ma. What do you like? Shakira. Shakira, Shakira. We're bringing out Cardi B, Karol G. Katy Perry's a sneaky one, dude.
Did they have a song together?
