The Joe Rogan Experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day.
Hey Joe.
Good to see you again buddy.
Yeah man, this is good to be in Austin.
I was just here yesterday with Jordan Burroughs, Olympic gold medals in wrestling and we discussed Icarus and he told me that he actually had to shut it off.
How did you do that? Because it's very clunky.
He told me he had to shut it off. He couldn't handle it.
Because he's an Olympic gold medalist in wrestling and he has faced people that he believes were cheating and particularly Russians.
And it drove him crazy.
So he was that pissed off that he literally...
What's his livelihood? I mean he's an Olympic gold medalist. He's a four-time world champion and he's convinced that he had to wrestle against people that were cheating. Particularly Russians.
You know, I've gotten a bunch of messages since that film came out from other Olympic athletes and it's been either a mix of like, hey man, thank you so much.
Or it's just like, not mad at me, just like, what the fuck.
And then, you know, like, and I was actually like invited. It was the Bobsled team that when they actually disqualified the Russian Bobsled team and the U.S. Bobsled team was then going to get the third place medal.
They like invited me to the ceremony. I didn't go but, you know, it was crazy.
Well, Jordan said that the, I guess, in 2020 and 2024 the Russians can't fly a flag. Like, they cannot, they can't be represented.
Like, they have to be individual athletes from Russia at the Olympics in 2020 and Tokyo, it's 2021 now.
Yeah.
So, in 2024, those Olympics, you can't have a Russian flag. Like, you literally can't, because of what happened, that you exposed in your documentary.
