We chat about the 2021 Olympic Games which were delayed by the pandemic. Was it worth the wait? How have the Aussies been faring so far?   Which was the best sporting moment so far? How good was the F bomb dropped by Kaylee McKeown after winning gold in the 200m backstroke? Also, how good was Dean Boxal's celebration after Ariarne Titmus won gold in the 200m freestyle final?   All that and more in this episode.   The 2020 Summer Olympics (Japanese: 2020年夏季オリンピック, Hepburn: Nisen Nijū-nen Kaki Orinpikku), officially the Games of the XXXII Olympiad (第三十二回オリンピック競技大会, Dai Sanjūni-kai Orinpikku Kyōgi Taikai) and branded as Tokyo 2020 (東京2020), is an international multi-sport event being held from 23 July to 8 August 2021 in Tokyo, Japan, with some preliminary events that began on 21 July.   Tokyo was selected as the host city during the 125th IOC Session in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on 7 September 2013.[3] Originally scheduled to take place from 24 July to 9 August 2020, the event was postponed to 2021 in March 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the first such instance in the history of the Olympic Games (previous games had been cancelled but not rescheduled).[4] However, the event retains the Tokyo 2020 name for marketing and branding purposes.[5] It is being held largely behind closed doors with no public spectators permitted due to the declaration of a state of emergency.[b] The Summer Paralympics will be held between 24 August and 5 September 2021, 16 days after the completion of the Olympics.[6]   The 2020 Games are the fourth Olympic Games to be held in Japan, following the Tokyo 1964 (Summer), Sapporo 1972 (Winter), and Nagano 1998 (Winter) games.[c] Tokyo is the first city in Asia to hold the Summer Games twice. The 2020 Games are the second of three consecutive Olympics to be held in East Asia, following the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, and preceding the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, China. The 2020 Games sees the introduction of new competitions as well as competitions that once were held but were subsequently removed. New ones include 3x3 basketball, freestyle BMX and mixed gender team events in a number of existing sports, as well as the return of madison cycling for men and an introduction of the same event for women. New IOC policies also allow the host organizing committee to add new sports to the Olympic program for just one Games. The disciplines added by the Japanese Olympic Committee are baseball and softball, karate, sport climbing, surfing, and skateboarding, the last four of which make their Olympic debuts.[7]   Bermuda and the Philippines won their first-ever Olympic gold medals.[8][9] San Marino and Turkmenistan won their first-ever Olympic medals.   We also do a little review on the 9th installment of the Fast and Furious Franchise, F9 (Spoiler alert)   FOR MORE   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/courtsideth...

NBA Finals Recap & Space Jam: A New Legacy Review

The boys review Marvel Studios LOKI on Disney+!   Is this the best Marvel Studios Disney+ series so far? Who the heck is Kang the Conqueror? How many Easter eggs only super fans would notice fly over our heads? What do we expect in season 2? Will Herwin be confused by what's going on again? Will we ever see Mobius on a jet ski?   After stealing the Tesseract during the events of Avengers: Endgame (2019), an alternate version of Loki is brought to the mysterious Time Variance Authority (TVA), a bureaucratic organization that exists outside of time and space and monitors the timeline. They give Loki a choice: face being erased from existence due to being a "time variant", or help fix the timeline and stop a greater threat. Loki ends up trapped in his own crime thriller, traveling through time.   FOR MORE   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/courtsideth...

THE CONJURING: THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT Review

UFOs or the government tried to block the start of this video so apologies for the start not being available immediately. Thanks for understanding! - Your Pals at Courtside Theory We chat and mostly speculate on the Pentagon UFO Report due to be released this month. Are there aliens on earth? Where is Will Smith when you need him? Do they come in peace? Unidentified flying objects, or unidentified aerial phenomena as the government calls them, have been taken more seriously by U.S. officials in recent years, starting in 2007 with a small, secretly funded program that investigated reports of military encounters. "The program, whose existence was first reported by The New York Times in December 2017, was revived by the Defense Department last summer as the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force. The department said the task force’s mission was to “detect, analyze and catalog” sightings of strange objects in the sky “that could potentially pose a threat to U.S. national security.” Service members were newly encouraged to speak up if they saw something, with the idea being that removing the stigma behind reporting something weird would provide the authorities with a better idea of what’s out there. Then, late last year, former President Donald J. Trump signed a $2.3 trillion appropriations package that included a provision inserted by lawmakers: They asked the secretary of defense and director of national intelligence to submit an unclassified report on what the government knows about U.F.O.s. An unclassified version of that report is due to be released this month." Jennifer Jett, New York Times
