The Olympics.
It's where people who sacrificed their entire lives
to athletics compete to see who didn't waste their time.
The Summer Games are on track
to start this coming July in Tokyo.
And today, we got our first look at the new 'fit.
We're getting a look at what some athletes will wear
at the Sumb... Summer Olympics in Tokyo.
Ralph Lauren unveiled these uniforms for team USA.
Russia is also showing off red, blue, and white uniforms.
Check out Canada's entry. They are set to wear
these denim jackets for the closing ceremony.
Designers say it captures Tokyo's culture.
Okay, okay, say what you want about Canada's uniforms.
I know people are making fun of it,
but personally, I love it.
I mean, I didn't even realize this year's Olympics
were being hosted by Sunglass Hut.
And they have so much personality, you know?
I like a uniform that says "I'm from Canada
and they know me by name at Michaels."
Plus, at least Canada's outfits are different.
I mean, other countries' uniforms are boring, man.
They all got the same sleek look.
Only Canada had the guts to come out and be like,
"We're just gonna keep wearing the same thing
we wore during the pandemic, eh?"
The only problem I have with Canada's uniforms,
if I'm honest, is that they're too relatable.
Yeah, people at home will be like,
"Hey, I have an outfit like that.
Maybe I can do the shot put."
But, no, Jerry, you cannot.
Curling, maybe, but nothing else.
But, for real, though, I wish all of these Canadian athletes
the best of luck at the 1992 Olympics.
And speaking of national pride,
here's really fun, uplifting story.
An Oklahoma cafeteria worker recently passed
her U.S. citizenship test and was welcomed with open arms.
-USA! USA! USA! -(whooping)
NEWSMAN: It was a total surprise, and all these students
lining the halls at Prairie Vale Elementary School
-in Edmond, Oklahoma, were in on it. -(laughs)
Celebrating their beloved cafeteria manager Yanet Lopez
this week, who had just passed the test
to become a U.S. citizen.
(whooping)
NEWSMAN: Originally from Cuba, Lopez and her family
moved to the U.S. in 2016 to seek a better life.
Oh, guys, that is so sweet.
The whole school coming out,
yelling at the top of their lungs in that narrow hallway.
Congratulations!
We got you COVID!
No, but for real, but for real, this was a beautiful moment.
I mean, you can tell the kids love her so much, you know?
She must be one of those lunch ladies who
ignored Michelle Obama and still counts pizza as a vegetable.
And it's also inspiring to see this woman
achieve her dream of becoming an American citizen.
And she's also fulfilled these kids' American dream
of getting out of class for ten minutes.
Do you remember what that was like as a kid?
Just think back. Remember those days
that you got where you got to do something
that wasn't sitting in your classroom?
It was the best shit ever.
Like, I remember one time in school,
we got to learn about photosynthesis outside,
in the sun. Not in the classroom. Outside.
I remember, as a little kid... I was like,
"This must be what
doing heroin feels like!"
But let's on now to the coronavirus pandemic.
We are now more than one year into this thing,
but it turns out there are still little rays of sunshine
to brighten our daily routines, like this 82-year-old woman
who may be the last person in the country
who is still having a good time on Zoom.
NEWSWOMAN: Looking nice every Sunday since the pandemic began,
Dr. La Verne Ford Wimberly dresses up in her Sunday best
to attend her virtual church service.
There she is, with those fabulous hats.
She's a retired educator from Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Dr. Wimberly was already known for her head-turning outfits
at the Metropolitan Baptist Church.
Now she's, uh, turning heads by posting a picture of her outfit
every Sunday, sharing it on Facebook.
Since the pandemic began, she's been very careful
to not wear the same outfit twice.
Wow, this lady puts everyone at church to shame.
I bet she even sees a statue of Jesus and is like,
"Huh, sandals again?"
I mean, maybe this is why the British royals are so hesitant
about bringing Black people into the family.
They know. They know that Black people
are the only ones with a stronger hat game.
And you know what?
This lady inspired me.
I'm not gonna let the pandemic get me down.
I'm gonna cheer myself up by putting on a nice hat.
Boom.
Oh, yeah.
Oh.
I feel so much sadder now.
How did that happen?
Now, apart from avoiding Zoom,
there are a few things that I know many people
are looking forward to once this pandemic is behind us.
You know, like hugging their grandmas.
Hugging other people's grandmas.
Or going to Disney World.
And it looks like the newly reopened Disney
is gonna be letting its hair down just a little bit more.
NEWSWOMAN: Disney is updating its dress code for employees.
The company will now allow appropriate visible tattoos
and gender-inclusive hairstyles for the first time ever.
The changes apply to employees at its theme parks
in both California and Florida.
It's part of a broader push toward inclusion and diversity.
Now, this...
this is great to see.
I'm glad employers are moving past the stigma of tattoos,
because, people, there's nothing to be ashamed of.
To most people, tattoos are a way to honor a person
or to honor a belief
or a night that they got drunk and got a tattoo.
Although, part of me thinks that maybe Disney World only did this
because they had no other options.
I mean, think about it, how hard is it to find someone in Florida
without a face tattoo?
Yeah, good luck on that one.
Hey, no... yeah.
The only thing that's gonna be a little awkward
is when Goofy has to explain to the kids
why he has all those Russian Mafia tattoos.
Don't ask Goofy questions
you don't want the answer to, comrade.
(goofy chuckle)
But if you ask me, this is still a huge step forward.
People should be allowed to express themselves
however they want.
Unless you're on the Canadian Olympic team.
Have some self-respect, people. What are those outfits?
And finally, a story from Australia,
where the toilets flush on the left side of the street,
and where a recent mix-up over an Uber all worked out okay.
A tipsy group of young people managed to get a lift
with former prime minister Kevin Rudd
after mistaking his car for an Uber.
Mr. Rudd had just dropped his daughter at a Noosa restaurant
when the group piled into his car.
He didn't let on who he was,
but agreed to give them a lift anyway.
Halfway through the journey they discovered their driver
was actually the former prime minister.
Aw, guys, what a fun kidnapping story.
And as awkward as that sounds, I think it's way better
than the time a random Uber driver
had to balance Australia's national budget.
What if we charged everyone surge pricing?
My God! He solved it!
And what if we gave everyone a free bottle of water?
Aw. Now we're broke again.
Here's my ultimate theory, though.
This ex-prime minister...
I think actually is an Uber driver,
and just finally got recognized for the first time.
(Australian accent): Ha-ha, yeah, that's right.
Ha-ha, you just got in the wrong car.
Of course I'm not your real Uber driver.
Things are going very well for me. Ha-ha!
No worries, mate. None at all.
