Me: Hey, can you put on the Olympics
Bartender: I guess…. (starts clicking through and puts on a replay of biathlon relay)
Me: Sorry, I meant the primetime coverage of the Olympics
Bartender: (blank stare) what? what channel do you want?
Me: I’m not sure what channel it actually is but the primetime coverage where they are showing the live events.
Bartender: (increasingly impatient face) What am I searching for exactly?
All my friends: Can we at least get beers before you make the bartender hate us?
Me: Bobsled, we’ve got 3 teams!
Bartender: You want me to turn off the Celtics game for bobsled?
Me: Thanks so much. It’s going to be tough for us to win a medal but one of them liked some of my posts on Instagram so I’ve got to support.
Bartender: (I really hate you look) Can I least get you a beer after the weirdest tv request I’ve ever gotten?
Me: No thanks, I’m just having water….(jk, you know I got an IPA and nachos)
But speaking of bobsled….we are sitting 9, 20 and 21 after the first 2 runs. So could be better. I’ll save most of the bobsled talk for tonight but there weren’t massive mistakes but Codie Bascue is going to drive some perfect runs to end up on the podium. But at least we didn’t wear an anti-doping t-shirt and get caught doping….
