Today's Barbershop Talk podcast is a discussion about the Tokyo Olympics. With the Tokyo Olympics coming to an end, we thought doing a podcast episode on the significance of this event and how Asian Americans fared overall would be an excellent topic to discuss.

In this episode, we discuss:

- Presenting all the Asian Americans who came home with a medal

- People didn't want to watch because they instead are out and in about since being under lockdowns

- Sunisa Lee representing for Hmong people

- Olympic viewership witnessing a 42% drop compared to Rio, Brazil Olympics

- Does the Olympics matter as much as it did before?

- Half of the sports at the Olympics are not widely popular elsewhere

- Michael Phelps and Simone Biles made Olympics interesting
