EIGHT YEARS AGO, SINGAPORE'S JOSEPH SCHOOLING.
THAT HIS IDOL, MICHAEL PHELPS.
FAST-FORWARD TO THE LYRICS IN RIO, AND IT TURNS OUT THAT
DOES IT ACTUALLY BEAT MICHAEL PHELPS DURING THE 100
M BUTTERFLY FINAL, WHICH SOUNDS LOVELY BY THE WAY.
I WANT TO ATTEND THE 100M BUTTERFLY FINAL, SOUNDS GREAT.
SO THEY COMPETE, AND NOW FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER SINGAPORE HAS A
MEDAL BECAUSE OF THIS.
THAT IS MY FAVORITE PICTURE OUT OF THE OLYMPICS MAYBE EVER.
THE WHOLE TIME MY SON IS ROOTING FOR MICHAEL FILMS, AS HE CALLS
HIM.
AND HE'S GONNA WIN ANOTHER MEDAL AND HE'S CHANTING USA, USA EVERY
TIME MICHAEL PHELPS IS SWIMMING.
AND THEN WE SEE THIS STORY, AND HERE IS THIS YOUNG ASIAN KID, 13
YEARS OLD MEETS HIS IDOL, AND THEN EIGHT YEARS LATER
BEATS HIM, IT'S SUCH A GREAT STORY.
AND THEN AFTER HE BEAT PHELPS IS WHEN WE ARE IN THE POOL, INSTEAD
OF PRO SAYING I'M MICHAEL PHELPS, HE SAYS I'M SCHOOLING.
HE'S TRAINING TO BE A FAIR WEATHER FAN.
FAIR ANALYSIS ON MY SIX-YEAR-OLD, WHICH, BY THE
WAY, IT'S ACTUALLY SOMEWHAT TRUE.
THE MINUTE SOMEONE IS WINNING IN FOOTBALL HE IMMEDIATELY
SWITCHES OVER.
HE'S LIKE, WHY ARE YOU ROOTING FOR THE LOSERS?
ANYWAY, BUT IN THIS CASE, IT REALLY GOES TO THE HEART OF
THE LITHIC SPIRIT, WHICH IS THAT ANYBODY CAN DO THIS, FIGHT
HARD FOR IT.
ANYBODY WHO SAW THAT FIRST PICTURE, IF YOU HAD SAID THAT
KID WAS ONE DAY GOING TO BEAT THIS LEGEND, WELL YOU WOULD
HAVE GOTTEN A HEALTHY DOSE OF SKEPTICISM.
WHAT I LOVE ABOUT IT IS, IF YOU SEE SOMEONE WHO IS DOING
AMAZING THINGS, THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT WAYS CAN REACT TO
THAT AMAZING PERSON.
YOU CAN EASILY ñ YOU CAN EITHER BE BITTER OR JEALOUS OR ENVIOUS,
WHATEVER IT IS, OR YOU CAN USE THAT PERSON AS INSPIRATION.
HE IS LIVING THE DREAM, AND HE IS THE FIRST OLYMPIAN TO WIN A
MEDAL FOR HIS COUNTRY.
LET'S PUT UP THAT FIRST PICTURE AGAIN.
THIS IS REALLY JUST JUST-DESSERTS FOR MICHAEL
PHELPS'S MUSTACHE IN THAT PICTURE.
SCHOOLING LOOK AT THAT MUSTACHE AND THOUGHT, I COULD BEAT THAT
GUY.
PHELPS IS WHAT, 45 YEARS OLD?
I COULD BEAT AN OLD NBA PLAYER BECAUSE HE'S OLD AND
DECREPIT NOW.
WE ARE GIVING THESE GUYS ALL THESE PROPS.
HOW OLD IS MICHAEL PHELPS?
HE'S NOT THAT OLD.
HE'S 31.
AND HE WON FOUR GOLD MEDALS I THINK IN THIS OLYMPICS.
HE'S GOT 28 MEDALS OVERALL.
YOU HAVE TO BE OLD.
THIS KIND OF REMINDS ME OF HOW LIKE, IN CERTAIN
CIRCUMSTANCES, PEOPLE IN THEIR 30S ARE CONSIDERED INSANELY OLD.
IT'S IN SPORTS AND ALSO IN PREGNANCIES.
DID YOU KNOW AT A CERTAIN AGE, I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHEN IN HER
30S, IF YOU ARE A WOMAN WHO GETS PREGNANT, IT IS CONSIDERED
A GERIATRIC PREGNANCY, WHICH IS ON ACCEPTABLE PHRASING.
YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CALL THAT A GERIATRIC PREGNANCY.
I LOVE HOW EVERYONE OF US MADE THIS STORY ABOUT THEMSELVES.
ME WITH THE SCHOOLING AND MY SON, JAYAR WITH HIS BITTERMAN
TRACK STORIES, AND HOW HE DIDN'T MAKE IT, AND HOW PHELPS IS OLD,
AND ANA IS LIKE, LET'S TALK ABOUT ME GETTING PREGNANT.
THE LITHIC SPRINGS OUT PERSONAL STORIES, THAT'S WHAT IT'S
ALL ABOUT.
VERY TRUE, NICE POINT.
