Capricorns and Olympic Gold
00:01:01
Speaker
day. Did you know that Capricorns are the most likely zodiac sign to win gold at the Olympics?
00:01:08
Speaker
Yes, apparently 2023 data analysis conducted by Run Repeat found that Capricorns win gold about 1.7 times more than any other zodiac sign. It's no surprise because Capricorns are known for their ambition, loyalty, and dedication to their goals.
00:01:27
Speaker
They actually win more silver and bronze medals too, but it's more stark in the gold medal analysis. And it's very interesting in the U.S. because Capricorns are one of the least common zodiac signs.
00:01:40
Speaker
So who are some of these famous gold-winning Capricorn U.S. Olympians? Gabby Douglas, who became the first black woman to win gold in and the gymnastics all around, is a Capricorn. She made history at the 2012 London Olympics.
00:01:56
Speaker
And another gymnast, Sean Johnson, won a gold medal in 2008 at the Beijing Olympics for the balance beam. Boxers George Foreman and Muhammad Ali also won gold medals and both are Capricorns.
00:02:12
Speaker
There's definitely something to the Capricorn being represented by the goat and being the greatest of all time. Agreed. And I mean, we're Capricorns, so maybe we'll win gold at the Olympics someday. yeah I doubt that.
Music Debate: Mary J. Blige vs. Aaliyah
00:02:27
Speaker
All right, let's jump into a quick round of this or that based on today's theme.
00:02:33
Speaker
This or That, R&B Songs by Capricorn Singers, Family Affair by Mary J. Blige, or Are You That Somebody by Aaliyah. Oh, goodness. I remember jamming out to Family Affair back in the day. So yeah I'm going to go with that one. That is a very catchy song.
00:02:52
Speaker
That was very popular too when it came out. um I think I have to go with Are You That Somebody Aaliyah though. I remember that was number one on the local radio station forever. It seemed like. That was a fun song. Like maybe an entire summer it was always number one. Yeah. But I love that song.
00:03:09
Speaker
Okay, this or that.
TV Characters Comparison
00:03:11
Speaker
Which TV character played by these Capricorn actresses was funnier? Betty White as Rose in Golden Girls or Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Elaine in Seinfeld?
00:03:25
Speaker
Okay, both of these characters are hilarious. This is tough. This is really tough. And I remember Betty White did some funny scene where, as Rose, where she's working as a receptionist somewhere, I don't know, and she's playing dumb as she's being robbed. And it's it's so funny. how she plays that character. But i think I have to go with Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Elaine in Seinfeld. She's just, yeah she has so many hilarious quotes and her dancing, of course. What about you?
00:03:57
Speaker
I think I have to agree with you. Even though both of the characters are iconic, I got to go with Elaine from Seinfeld. Have you seen those competitions too? Like the dancing competitions where people will dress up like her and have competitions? I vaguely remember seeing something about that. Classic dance.
