Podcasts about Olympic Village

Danny Bernstein, Founder & CEO, Reservoir joined Grayson Brulte on The Road to Autonomy podcast to discuss Physical AI and the growing role it is playing in agriculture.Currently, less than 2% of this high-value agricultural sector is automated, creating a significant growth opportunity that Reservoir is positioned to capture through a startup incubator specifically designed for Physical AI and specialty crops.By utilizing a 40-acre farm in Salinas paired with an adjacent 6,000-square-foot prototyping studio, Reservoir offers startups immediate access to a commercial testing ground. This infrastructure eliminates the traditional six-to-nine-month delay between raising venture capital and deploying on a real farm, allowing founders to roll their machines directly into the field.Reservoir's methodology emphasizes deep rural integration to solve complex labor and economic challenges. By encouraging founders to immerse themselves in local farming communities, Reservoir helps startups build trust and fit their solutions into existing agricultural cost structures. This approach has enabled successful innovations ranging from AI-powered drones for bird mitigation to specialized disease detection for vineyards.Reservoir's Physical AI ecosystem functions as the Olympic Village of Ag Tech, hosting dense cohorts of international and domestic startups working side by side. This collaborative environment enables companies to share foundational technologies while gaining direct access to major agricultural incumbents and corporate partners.To further fuel this ecosystem, Reservoir operates a $50 million early-stage venture fund dedicated to ag tech and Physical AI applications.Looking ahead, Danny envisions Reservoir expanding to five or six locations across the American West, with active and planned sites in Sonoma County, the Central Valley, Washington State, and Arizona.By elevating ag tech's position within the global autonomy economy, Reservoir aims to drive double-digit automation adoption within five years, fundamentally transforming rural workforce development and securing the global food supply.Episode Chapters00:00 Less than 2% of Specialty Crop Agriculture is Automated07:32 Physical AI on Farms13:35 The Six to Nine Month Farm Access Problem18:49 Inside Reservoir Farms26:01 The Olympic Village of Ag Tech32:29 Building Trust with Farmers43:19 The Growth of Automation and Autonomy on Farms47:50 The Future of Automation and Autonomy on Farms--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy is the definitive media brand covering the Autonomy Economy™.

This week, Jason is joined by Olympian, gold medalist, and PWHL star Hayley Scamurra!A key member of Team USA's women's hockey team, Hayley opens up about what it took to reach the top of her sport — from years of elite training and representing her country on the biggest stage in the world, to finally bringing home Olympic gold. Growing up in Buffalo with NHL roots, Hayley shares how her dream of becoming an Olympian started early, and how that vision carried her through the grind of college hockey, professional uncertainty, and years of fighting for a real future in women's hockey.Hayley breaks down the emotional difference between winning silver and winning gold, what it was really like inside the Olympic Village, and the mindset she used to stay calm in the biggest game of her life against Canada. She also shares the business side of women's hockey — from playing professionally for almost no money, to helping pave the way for the PWHL, navigating trades, free agency, and the continued fight for fair pay and better opportunities for women in sports.She also talks about the support system behind her success, the role mental training played in changing her career, and why she believes athletes should never settle for the bare minimum when they know they deserve more. From gold medal moments to the future of women's hockey, Hayley gives an honest look at both the dream and the grind behind it.Hayley reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss!Momentous Head to livemomentous.com, and use promo code TRADINGSECRETS for up to 35% off your first order.Livemomentous.com promo code TRADINGSECRETSNorthwest Registered Agent Don't pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for what you can get from Northwest for free.

In episode 241, Max chats with Australian water polo Olympian Elle Armit! Elle takes us inside the reality of chasing Olympic success - from the years of preparation and sacrifice required to make the Australian team, to the emotional rollercoaster of competing at the Olympic Games. She shares the moment she received the life-changing phone call telling her she'd been selected for the Olympics, what it's really like walking into the Olympic Village for the first time, and the unforgettable semi-final where the Aussie Stingers defeated the USA in a dramatic penalty shootout to book a place in the Olympic gold medal match. Elle also opens up about the journey behind the scenes - fighting for selection across multiple Olympic cycles, navigating coaching changes, and the relentless standards required to stay at the top of international sport. Plus, we discuss the often unseen side of elite performance - the emotional comedown after the Olympics, balancing life as a school teacher while training and competing at the highest level, and the complex feeling of standing on the podium with an Olympic silver medal. A fascinating conversation about resilience, high performance, and what it truly takes to compete on the world's biggest stage. All this and much more in episode 241 of Sporting Max! www.instagram.podcast/sportingmax.podcast/

Did we get it wrong from the start? Gareth Cliff and Leigh-Ann Mol kick things off by unpacking why people cling to unnecessary memories instead of holding onto the small bits of good that actually matter. Dr Hanan joins the conversation as the team asks a bold question: in a world where everyone is self-diagnosed as depressed or anxious, where did all the actual crazy people go? Things take a chaotic turn as the crew ranks the Top 10 lesbians purely on who looks the part — fashion, energy, and unapologetic confidence all count. And finally, Matt C Smith sits down to share his journey to the Olympics, including some unforgettable and slightly wild stories from inside the Olympic Village. The Real Network

With the Winter Games in Milano wrapping up, we're celebrating our best Olympic chats — from Team Canada's women's hockey team before take off to our repeat check ins with South Africa's Matt C. Smith on what laundry day is like in the Olympic Village (plus the food and daily chaos). We caught up with flag bearer Mikael Kingsbury on going from silver to Canada's first gold of the Games, and Valerie Maltais, who got Canada on the board with bronze. Maurie's Village scoop continued with snowboarder Florian Lechner on the quest for love — and yes, we did a follow up. Plus, Nick Novak hilariously set the record straight on the whole “Penisgate” chatter sweeping the Games. Best-of Milano 2026: medals, mayhem, and maximum vibes.

This daily comedy show really asked the big questions this week. Like… are we broadcasting live? Or are we just four confused old men screaming into bananas inside a dementia facility somewhere in Wisconsin?It all started with a story about a real dementia village concept gaining traction in the U.S. — and Rafe did what Rafe does: immediately spiraled into an existential crisis and created a fake commercial for “Dementia Village™” that somehow managed to be compassionate, unhinged, and disturbingly comforting all at once. We're talking fake Navy deck inspections, rotary phones that call nobody, and a radio studio where traffic is always light and the weather is always perfect. You know… paradise. (Inspired by the show transcript )Then we pivot — because why wouldn't we — to the Olympic Village running out of condoms. That's right. The only thing breaking records faster than the athletes were apparently supply chains. We break down what happens when 11,000 world-class bodies + international unity + DJ music = “horizontal lambada.” It's sports commentary. Technically.As if that wasn't enough, three cosmic “portals” opened and Rafe declared himself and Rizz the prophesied Horse Boys of destiny. Earth Horse meets Fire Horse. Sponsors tremble. Enemies get bucked off. It's astrology with absolutely zero scientific backing and 100% confidence. Which, honestly, feels very on-brand for a daily comedy show.And then — plot twist — things get weirdly thoughtful. The crew debates profanity, Lent, emotional regulation, and whether clean comedy is actually superior. Rafe delivers an unexpectedly sharp (and slightly poetic) breakdown of why context matters more than vocabulary. Turns out, science says people who swear more might actually have higher verbal fluency. So basically, we're scholars.We wrap it up with real RIPs, Simpleton Trivia chaos, and ticket giveaways because nothing says “existential dread” like a chance to win Black Keys tickets.This episode of the daily comedy show is a rollercoaster of dementia hypotheticals, Olympic chaos, horse prophecies, profanity philosophy, and grade-school trivia panic. If you like your pop culture commentary with a side of sarcastic humor and mild emotional whiplash, welcome home.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome back to your favorite FULL EPISODE daily comedy show, where compassion meets chaos and somehow ends with Daddy's pommel horse.This episode kicks off with Rafe's Emmy-deserving (self-awarded) E-Memoriam segment featuring a fictional commercial for “Dementia Village” — a place where we don't correct you, we commit to the bit. It's heartfelt. It's unhinged. It's possibly a figment of your deteriorating temporal reality. The gang spirals into a very real existential crisis wondering if they're currently hosting a radio show… or just screaming into the void of a nursing home recreation center. Either way, traffic is light and the martinis are on the house.Then we pivot hard into Olympic Village running out of condoms — because nothing says international unity like elite athletes discovering the supply chain can't keep up. The torch is lit. The bodies are fit. And apparently everyone is riding Daddy's pommel horse. Is it sports coverage? Technically. Is it mature? Not even a little. This is your warning.As if that wasn't enough, the Horse Boys prophecy returns. Three astrological portals are open. Fire Horse. Earth Horse. Ring of Fire eclipse portal. The universe is apparently slapping the guys on the hindquarters and yelling “LET THEM GALLOP.” Sponsors beware. Enemies get bucked off. It's cosmic horsepower in its purest, dumbest form.And because we're nothing if not intellectuals, the episode wraps with a surprisingly thoughtful (yet still ridiculous) breakdown of profanity stigma. Is swearing a sign of weak character? Or are we just emotionally articulate with flair? Science says one thing. George Carlin says another. The Rizz Show says… context matters, baby.It's heartfelt. It's inappropriate-adjacent. It's philosophical in the dumbest possible way. In other words, it's exactly what you expect from a daily comedy show that thrives on pop culture commentary, ridiculous hypotheticals, and St. Louis morning show chaos.If you came for serious journalism… you took a wrong turn at the portal.If you came for laughs, existential dread, and Olympic-level nonsense… welcome home.This daily comedy show continues to prove that no topic is too sensitive, too cosmic, or too athletic to be overanalyzed by Rizz and the gang.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Travel Influencer Washes Underwear In Hotel Coffee Maker, Internet DisgustedWoman faces charges after allegedly leaving dog at Las Vegas airportDentist Allegedly Operated on a Child While Drunk.

On episode 119 of Native Land Pod, hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers team up with guest-host Dr. Reverend Jamal Bryant. Pastor Bryant held a groundbreaking joint sermon recently with his wife, Karri Bryant, for Valentines day. They cracked jokes and shared their wisdom for how to make a relationship last, which we’ll pass on to you. Then Pastor Bryant holds space for us as we remember another reverend, Jesse Jackson, who passed away Tuesday, February 17th. FOR YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS: Early voting sites are being removed from North Carolina Universities, disenfranchising Black students. The SAVE Act heads to the Senate, the “Voter ID Law” threatens voting rights. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem says DHS Will Help “Secure” Elections. The Olympic Village has run out of the 10,000 condoms it supples to athletes. Five Black surgeons lead the trauma unit at the prestigious Johns Hopkins hospital for the first time. We dedicate the majority of our show today to Reverend Jesse Jackson. Reverend Jackson had a knack for showing up wherever Black folks were organizing; he showed up for our hosts multiple times to offer his support and mentorship. We’ll hear their personal stories about the reverend and more from his fabled life: Reverend Jackson grew up in poverty before rising through the church to carry on the work of MLK Jr., his mentor. He ran for president in the 80’s (which set the stage for Obama), championed progressive causes that were far ahead of his time, and created broad political alliances that last to this day. His impact cannot be overstated. If you’d like to submit a question, check out our tutorial video: http://www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/ and send to @nativelandpod.

SHOW NOTES: The winter Olympics had a boring opening ceremony except for Andrea Bocelli. Some of the events seem duplicative, especially figure skating and skiing. Some seem like efforts to avoid death or injury, and not just competing—skeleton, luge, giant slalom, ski jumping, distance skiing. Skiing in ruts is rather boring, and then the women collapsing over the finishing line and gasping for air is frightening. The giant slalom hits about 85 MPH. Luge and skeleton runs are between 80 and 100 MPH. On the ice, men are tossing women around who have knives attached to their feet. The French judge in figure skating obviously downgraded the American and inflated the French scores so that the latter pairs won. That judge has been known to have done this throughout the last year. Now onto curling, which is a game played with stones and brooms, has suffered cheating accusations for the Canadians “double touching” the stone on launch. After a profane, long outburst by the accused, slow reply showed he, indeed, did commit the infraction. In a manner of speaking he “gave them the finger” before tongue lashing them with obscenities. So much for the Olympic spirit. (And for Canadians being nice people.) At the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina, Canadian curlers Marc Kennedy and Rachel Homan were accused of "double-touching" (illegally touching a stone after its initial release) in separate matches. Sweden's Oskar Eriksson initiated the allegation against Kennedy on Feb. 13, while officials flagged Homan on Feb. 14. Curling is basically the same as shuffleboard, which older people play in retirement villages, or bocce which specifically older Italian people play on dirt. Then there's the cousin, English Lawn Bowls, which I've never been able to finish watching without falling asleep. Johnny Weir, the former Olympic figure skater and NBC commentator, is renowned for his highly, flamboyant, and gender-neutral fashion choices while broadcasting, often featuring makeup, jewelry, and avant-garde, designer clothing. He and Sarah Lapinsky are worth the time spent watching people jump around on ice. Yes, it is true that the Olympic Village at the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Games ran out of free condoms within the first three days, according to reports in La Stampa and The Guardian. Approximately 10,000 contraceptives for about 2,900 athletes were depleted quickly, prompting emergency restocking due to higher-than-expected demand. Now THAT'S the competitive spirit!

Plus, why Healey's social media regulation plan faces an uphill battle.NBC Sports Boston's Trenni Casey gives us a dispatch from the winter Olympics: on how a cheating scandal is upheaving the friendly sport of curling, and how, per usual, the Olympic Village has already run out of condoms.

Thor is going to need babysitters soon but it looks like it is quite an expensive market. Apparently you have to pay PER KID!!! Well, we found a study of the current rates for babysitters and you would not believe how much people are paying!To celebrate Presidents' Day, Eddie brought out his most presidential top 10 yet! He gave us his Top 10 Presidents of all time!What you would think is a space for rest and recovery is the exact oposite it seems... It was reported just DAYS into the winter olympics that there was a shortage of condoms??? The crazy part is the number of condoms they started with compared to the amount of athletes!

This week on FratChat, we dive headfirst into the newly released Epstein Files and unpack why this document dump is setting off alarm bells across politics, business, and media. We break down the most shocking revelations so far. From evidence suggesting a far-reaching sex trafficking operation including redacted co-conspirators, international recruitment efforts, and how multiple high-profile figures appear to have rewritten their own histories once the truth started leaking out. This episode isn't about conspiracies for clicks. It's about patterns, documents, and why the phrase “the call is coming from inside the house” has never felt more accurate. Outside the files, we still keep things classic FratChat. We answer listener emails ranging from “Did Epstein kill himself?” to a Valentine's Day relationship curveball involving an open-relationship ultimatum. In news, we cover the Olympic Village running through 10,000 condoms in three days, the death of the infamous “anti-sex” cardboard beds, and why Grindr had to step in for athlete safety.

Today's daily comedy show is what happens when you give microphones to people who should probably just be texting each other.We kick things off with Olympic-level… activities. Apparently the Olympic Village ran out of condoms in three days. Three. Days. That's not an athletic achievement — that's cardio with consequences. We debate whether elite athletes should be breeding super-humans or if maybe the rest of us deserve a shot at greatness. (Spoiler: the Rizzuto bloodline is not currently favored.)Then we spiral into Olympic sports confusion. Skeleton. Luge. Two-man luge (you know the one). If you grew up in Ballwin, Missouri, how exactly do you “get into” skeleton? Is there a sign-up sheet at Schnucks? Do you just lie face-first on a sled and hope for the best? We also relive the Team USA bobsled disaster that turned into a solo survival mission mid-run. Nothing says “team sport” like accidentally ejecting half your teammates.There's also a dog that hijacked a ski slope and honestly looked more qualified than most of us. If that's not peak sports content, what are we even doing here?We also unpack the “Most Gen X Man in the World” video, which is basically a documentary about Riz. Garden hose hydration. Distrust of WiFi. Emotional suppression via grunge. If you ever microwaved a dinner and raised yourself at an abandoned mall, congratulations — you've found your people on this daily comedy show.In Crap on Celebrities, we break down Tool possibly taking over The Sphere in Vegas (yes please), Weezer turning 34 (we're not okay), Hollywood's obsession with reboots, and the FBI updating the case involving Savannah Guthrie's mother. Plus, we rank the best fictional presidents in TV and movies — and yes, President Camacho was ROBBED.We wrap with birthdays, questionable romance stats, and one of the most aggressively titled adult films of 1995. Because that's the kind of well-rounded journalism you expect from a daily comedy show broadcasting from St. Louis.If you like pop culture commentary, funny celebrity gossip, Olympic chaos, sarcastic humor, and the occasional existential crisis wrapped in Mountain Dew nostalgia, welcome home.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What do QR codes, Olympic athletes, wolf mating documentaries, and Destin, Florida all have in common?Absolutely nothing — and that's why this daily comedy show works.We kick things off with a heated (but deeply scientific) debate about QR codes on billboards. A Chicago restaurant offered a “free burrito” if you scan while driving, and now people are calling for QR code bans. Is it dangerous? Is it genius marketing? Or are we just one distracted driver away from queso-related tragedy? Moon admits he doesn't trust QR codes at all because they feel like digital viruses wearing mustaches.Then we pivot to the Olympic Village, where apparently athletes are breaking records both on and off the field. They ran out of condoms in three days. THREE. DAYS. We discuss why every Olympic competitor seems to come from other Olympic bloodlines, how you even become a skeleton racer if you grow up in Missouri, and why the bobsled team unintentionally created slapstick history.Spring break planning reveals Missouri's true personality: Destin, Florida. The Redneck Riviera claims us once again. Rizz embraces his future as a Boca Raton retiree. Moon preaches the gospel of Gulf Coast sunsets. And somehow we end up arguing Disney inspiration versus Six Flags practicality.In relationships, we break down early red flags: expensive gifts too soon, showing up unannounced at work (don't), texting “good morning ❤️” every day (please calm down), and writing love songs after two dates (call security).Lern shares her surprisingly educational Valentine's Day at a wolf sanctuary where things got wildly biological. Rafe ice skates in Grafton. We discover the Most Gen X Man in the World. And somehow it all makes sense inside this chaotic, sarcastic, slightly unhinged daily comedy show.If you're here for weird news, entertainment gossip, Midwest sarcasm, Florida takes, and Olympic-level nonsense, welcome home. This daily comedy show is your daily reminder that life is ridiculous — and we're just here to narrate it.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.The Most Gen X Man in the World - Dos Equis AdChicago officials raise safety concerns over QR code billboardMedieval-themed live shows draw young women who are looking for love and jaded by modern datingSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Paris, 1871. The city is under siege. The government has fallen. And in the heart of the chaos, one woman stands defiant with a rifle in hand. Welcome to Louise Michel: The Fearless Revolutionary of the Paris Commune, an episode of Join Us in France that brings history to life like never before. Listen to this episode ad-free Host Annie Sargent and historian Elyse Rivin dive deep into the dramatic story of the Paris Commune—a radical uprising that shook France to its core. For 72 days in 1871, Paris was ruled not by kings or emperors, but by workers, artists, and revolutionaries. At the center of it all? Louise Michel, a schoolteacher turned anarchist whose courage and conviction made her a legend. This isn't just a history lesson. It's a story of defiance, feminism, and revolution that still echoes today. Louise Michel didn't just witness history—she shaped it. Born in 1830, she grew up with privilege but chose a life of activism. She fought on the barricades, organized ambulance stations during the Bloody Week, and even faced down the French army. When the Commune fell, she was arrested, tried, and exiled to New Caledonia. But exile didn't stop her. She learned the local Kanak language, taught indigenous girls, and even joined a revolt against French colonial rule. Later, she returned to France, where she became a feminist icon, traveling across Europe to spread her radical ideas. Annie and Elyse explore the myths and realities of the Commune, from the so-called Pétroleuses (women accused of burning Paris) to the destruction of landmarks like the Tuileries Palace. They discuss Louise's unlikely survival after being shot in the head, her correspondence with Victor Hugo, and her role in creating the black flag of anarchism. This episode also uncovers the Commune's lasting impact on Paris—from the Mur des Fédérés in Père Lachaise Cemetery to the renamed Square Louise Michel near Sacré-Cœur. But the conversation doesn't stop in the 19th century. After the interview, Annie shares updates on the legacy of the Paris 2024 Olympics and how the Olympic Village in Saint-Denis is transforming into a vibrant new neighborhood. It's a reminder that history isn't just about the past—it's about how we live today. If you love stories of bold women, forgotten revolutions, and the hidden layers of Paris, this episode is for you. Whether you're a history buff, a Francophile, or just curious about the untold stories of France, Louise Michel: The Fearless Revolutionary of the Paris Commune will leave you inspired.
