[upbeat music] Good evening and welcome to the Volley Pod. How are you today, Todd?
Todd· Host0:17
Doing well, Davis. Back at it. Always fun to get back in the cave and talk a little volleyball, see if we can get a little better. Every time I chat with you, I leave and go, "My God, I think I got a little better. Davis is coaching me up."
Davis· Host0:32
Man.
Todd· Host0:32
It's good stuff.
Davis· Host0:33
The, the, the s- the same is definitely true on my end. And you know what I'm excited about right now, Todd? Is I am on the list for Olympic tickets.
Todd· Host0:41
The Olympics are back.
Davis· Host0:43
Yes.
Todd· Host0:44
You know when I went to the Olympics?
Davis· Host0:46

Ooh, nice.
Todd· Host0:49
I saw our gold medal men's team.
Davis· Host0:53
Nice.
Todd· Host0:54
The, remember the Chris Marlowe waved the flag team?
Davis· Host0:56
Oh, yeah.
Todd· Host0:57
I saw them lose.
Davis· Host0:58
Nice.
Todd· Host0:58
They lost in pool play to Brazil, and I think- Brazil ... they came back and beat them in the final.
Davis· Host1:01
Okay, nice.
Todd· Host1:02
So, but I saw the loss.
Davis· Host1:03
Okay, nice.
Todd· Host1:04
So I was bad luck.
Davis· Host1:05
Well, what a cool thing though.
Todd· Host1:06
So I'm not going then, 'cause I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm still feeling like I'm, I'm bringing them some bad, bad... Don't wanna do it.
Davis· Host1:12
I'm on the list. I don't know which match. It-- You, you don't really know which teams you're gonna watch play. You either sign, sign up for the preliminary round or the, you know, the medal round- Right ... or that kind of thing, but you're not sure who you're gonna watch. So I don't honestly really care.
Todd· Host1:25
It's up in Anaheim, is that it?
Davis· Host1:26
Up in Anaheim at the Honda Center.
Todd· Host1:28
