I love it when Gastor and Shalewa is on the show. I’m a faithful listener to the war report and I agree if the killer enters the party, Karen and Gastor will be the firsts to go. That’s what happens to people with joyful spirits.
Cryrese is out of his damn mind. I don’t know if it’s cocaine or as Justin and Brandon would say, he’s just plain old cuckoo bananas but people need to stop feeding into the crazy. He looked insane in that fake wig and beard.
The more I’ve thought about the Raygun situation the angrier I get. It was all funny when she was just embarrassing herself but this is the symbol of how white mediocrity will ruin something of cultural significance and make a mockery out of it. Instead of celebrating her teammate who actually did a good job and all the other breakers around the world all everyone can talk about is her. She ruined their moment to steal a spot on the team so her and her equally mediocre husband can have a free vacation. Fuck her. I feel bad for the disadvantaged kids who she denied a chance to try out for the team.
Australia already has enough problems with their spiders the size of Toyota Corollas and toilet snakes, now the whole world is laughing at them because of this bitch. Sorry Wonga.
Im listening to the latest ” dear prudence ” episode. Suddenly, a lady says: ” it’s just ME, everyone is different….”
Karen! For real! TBGWT are giving advice!
Dear Rod and Karen,
On behalf of Australia, I would like to publicly apologise for the travesty that was Raygun, aka Rachel Gunn. As a nation, we are proud of our sporting prowess, and our competitive spirit, and what we all witnessed was not what we stand for!
With a PhD in Cultural Appropriation, this woman single handedly destroyed my short-term patriotism, and gave breakdancing its “Grand opening, Grand Closing” moment in the Olympics.
My soul left my body when I saw her writhing around on the floor, and when she did the kangaroo hop, I threw my remote at the TV! I felt better when the judges said “I award you no point, and may God have mercy on your soul”.
Within hours, she was being clowned by Planet Earth, and I was beginning to feel sorry for her. But when I found out her husband was the coach… my sympathy turned to righteous contentment that Karma was being delivered.
The Australian Olympic Committee denies the husband was on the selection committee and tried to “Stop it right now!” the petition to hold her accountable. Either way, how the HELL did she still get selected?! We have amazing homegrown B-girls who were not given the chance.
When Gastor mentioned how someone in Tyrese’s life should have pulled him aside for wearing what he did to sing the anthem, it got me thinking… What the HELL was Raygun’s husband thinking?! A supportive husband encourages his spouse to do whatever they like, but a Loving husband would sit her down and say, “Baby, I love you, but no…”
The only solace I can take is that she will be meme’d for internet eternity, but the shame she brought upon our nation will never be forgotten! My mother would always tell me “If you enter a competition, you don’t have to win, but don’t make me look bad” and Raygun made Australia look bad.
Thank you for allowing me the space to exorcise this demon from my body. I have much to discuss with my therapist.
I say all of this in jest, but I’m crying inside.
Thank you for the show, and Shalewa and Gastor were fantastic guests!
Dear Prath,.t,
Raygun is not great at break dancing, that’s pretty sure.
But I don’t think she brought shame on your county. Maybe on herself, but also in my opinion, it was unfair how she got in and very suspicious but overall the story was also entertaining. As far as I know she didn’t kill anyone so I think you can relax as an Australian, it wasn’t you who forced her in somehow. There will be an embarrassing story from somewhere else soon and people will forget.
The country I live in is very famous for that Hitler guy, and there is no forgetting that ever.
( never again, Apia against Nazis)
Thank you Apia for putting this incident in perspective. I’d hope our nation will be remembered deadly creatures trying to kill us more than bad breakdancers
It will. You have an endless supply of animals who want to kill us humans and just one Raygun, as far as I know. Soon someone will try to play with a salt water crocodile and put it on film. Just wait.
I listened to this episode right after listening to The War Report episode where Shalewa had counseled Gastor. So I almost died laughing when he admitted that it was a cyclical thing. “Real talk” as Gastor will say great episode when awesome worlds collide. It was an amazing incursion!
I never watch any sports and even I checked who Raygun is.
Is this a win for break dancing? I don’t know.
Living with a real introvert not a starter introvert at best like Rod, ( sorry Rod) I can only laugh about this Dimness.
Rod can talk about his feelings in full sentences, he takes initiative in meeting his friends and suggests activities for K and himself.
So I really don’t know about that. Just that when Mr Apia was at this level suddenly, I couldn’t believe my luck.
Five Stars. I enjoyed this episode, especially the roasting of Johnny Appletree Majors and his Chaka Khan chorus.
Always fun when y’all have Gastor and Shalewa on the show, and I have never heard my name so many times in a podcast. Thank you for that. Also wanted to say I’m here for the TBGWT mixtape wether it takes the form of an episode, a separate download, or a playlist. Thank you for your good work, and shout out to the chat room.
Thanks for deep dive into the Olympics breaking competition. I too am upset that the great dancers and medal winners have been overlooked with so much attention being given to Raygun.
