Simone and her husband arguing about who is the better athlete, is this really a thing? Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles took social media to clock all of the people who think that she is bothered by her husband's clip after he called [00:00:15] himself the catch in their relationship. And the subversive inference that she is not his type, that's what we all wanna hear, don't we? Let's remind you how we got here, here's the clip. [00:00:30] >> Speaker 2: How did you do that bro? >> Speaker 2: Really, how she pulled me, man, that's the question. >> Speaker 2: Lord Jesus. >> Speaker 2: I just got to Houston, I probably have been to Houston seven months, I was single at the know, so I'm just living myself. And Covid had just hit, but I had just went to Arizona and [00:00:47] one of my boys are like, hey, man, you gotta check out this know. And I'm like, I'll check it out, what is it? It was called Riah at the time, so basically it's a dating app, but you have to go through certain criteria to make sure that you're who you are. So literally have been on app for a couple of days, man, and [00:01:04] it's like she pops up and I'm like, let me see what this is. Gymnastics, I never really paid attention to gymnastics. >> [LAUGH]. >> So it piqued my curiosity, so I'm like, okay, I'll see what's up. I swiped her and it said we match, so I'm like, okay, so I'm gonna see what's up. [00:01:20] So I go do my workout and I come back and I had some likes on my instagram, and I'm, this might be okay. [LAUGH]. So I see what's up, and then I still waited. I'm like, man, I'm away, I'm away till I take a shower and everything. [00:01:36] Then I come back to my phone and then she messages me on the ap, hey, you know what I mean? And that's, man, it's got to be fake, I don't know. I didn't know who she was at the time, but the first thing that I saw was that she just had a bunch of followers. So in my mind, I'm like, okay, she got to be good. [00:01:52] I promise you, I'm a real life story, when she won the Olympics, I was in college, and we didn't have NBC, we didn't have Olympic channels. And we're in camp, we're in camp late July, early August, so I'm not paying attention so I never would have had a moment to where I would have watched. [00:02:09] >> Speaker 3: So you was really the catch in? >> Speaker 2: I always say the man, the catch, man, I always say we the catch, man. >> Speaker 1: Yeah, so she really booked you. >> Speaker 2: She did, though, is what you're saying. >> [LAUGH]. >> Cuz I was fighting it, I was fighting it. >> Speaker 3: So in truth, if I say this out loud, well, [00:02:24] Jonathan Owens ain't really want Simone Biles is what you're saying. >> [LAUGH]. >> Speaker 2: That's what you're not gonna say. >> Speaker 3: That what you're saying. >> Speaker 2: I was afraid to commit, I'm like, man, this is my third year. [00:02:40] I'm like, it's kind of early, but like I said, man, it happened when you least expect it. >> Speaker 1: Okay, a lot went on there, a lot was said. I heard a lot, I don't know if that's how he meant it, okay? All the cackling know, they really boxed him in, and he did need to moonwalk back, [00:02:59] some of it Jonathan Owens talking about how he met Simone Biles. Owens would draw the ire of social media with some digging up of old tweets of his, I wanna look at those. Didn't we look at those? And here they are, he's done a lot here. [00:03:17] Damn, Gabby is good,, Gabby with the gold. Gabby just need to get them bottom teeth fixed and then her smile will be cool, lol. I wanna pause there because, Aida, you're the comedian, [00:03:33] the jokes fell flat there for me, okay? You're going after this other champion's appearances, but I'll let you weigh in and then we'll get to the rest of what he said. >> Speaker 4: I'm on a different path in life right now, and I am definitely seeking peace in all things that I do. [00:03:52] >> Speaker 1: Beautiful. >> Speaker 4: But I will warn these young people, younger people, as a result of my own experience with social media, does not forget it is archival footage. And every time that you go on a public platform and you speak, [00:04:09] it's gonna live forever. Cuz if they continue on with their marriage, which I hope they do, and they have children, your kids are gonna see that clip. And I do believe he got boxed in, it does feel kind of adolescent, the conversation, [00:04:26] everybody's always looking for the clips that are gonna go viral. They got it. But I can't help but to wonder, cuz for us, it's a topic of discussion for us to weigh in, but that's their real lives. [00:04:44] >> Right. >> Speaker 4: That's an actual couple that's married, that's newly wed under the microscope already, and so I can't help but to wonder what home feels like. And I hope it feels good, I hope she rushed it because she knows who she is, as she said she does. [00:05:00] But I'm just like, you just got to be careful when you're running your mouth on these platforms because it will come back to bite you. And if you say, I don't know, I never wore yellow before, guess what, they're going to find 15 pictures of you wearing yellow [LAUGH]. [00:05:16] >> Speaker 1: They have nothing better to do, and that's what they'll do. And I think what you're saying is, number one, we don't know if this will age well, I think the ods are probably against that, what will the children, future children say? But also, you don't have to answer every question that's posed to you, and [00:05:31] maybe relationships, particularly when you're two notable people, think about making those questions off limits. People can ask what they want and you can answer what you want. Just a thought, others though, calling into question Owen's [00:05:46] real preferences in women, so watch this thought. >> Speaker 5: Saw a video earlier of a girl saying hot take, she don't think Simone Biles is her husband's type. And I agree, a lot of people are up in arms about the things he said, but I don't think anything he said is necessarily wrong on paper. [00:06:03] He's the catch, she pursued him, he had to resist committing to her. None of those things are inherently wrong, especially if they're true, which it seems to be they are. But those aren't things you say about somebody your head over heels attracted to, right? That's something you say about someone who had to grow on you for one reason or [00:06:18] another, whether that's personality or something else. And then I scrolled through the comments and saw dude played in the NFL, and then I clocked the situation immediately because unfortunately, it's a stereotype. But the stereotype rings true anytime there's a ball player, whether that's NFL, [00:06:34] MLB, NBA, especially the NBA, all the players girls, look identical, bro. They all look like that Kardashian type, big lip BBL fashion nova model look, right? And if they don't look like that, typically they fall in one or two categories, high school sweetheart or very rich and famous. [00:06:51] Anyways, the point is, rarely are people the exception to the norm, and sure enough, I looked dude's Instagram up. I checked his following, and not to give the sauce away, but if you wanna know if you're your man's type or not, check his following, scroll through for about 5 seconds, you'll know immediately. [00:07:08] And yeah, he's following a lot of women, not one of them look like Simone Biles. >> Speaker 1: That's an interesting analysis from someone who's not in the relationship and presumably does not know the two people involved. Interesting. Analysis meanwhile, Biles talked about their relationship during [00:07:27] Peacock's 2023 back that year up with Kevin Hart and Kenan Thompson. When I asked on who is the better athlete, she replied, I think we're good at our own sports, she said considering difficulty and ability, gymnastics is harder. [00:07:42] If he agrees or not, I know your name, said Thompson, pointing to Owens'claim that he didn't know who she was before they began dating. Hart then wanted to backtrack as he inquired about the debates and [00:07:57] heated arguments being had in the Owens household, including who is the better athlete? We fought over it a couple of times and then we vowed once we got married we wouldn't talk about it again, but it keeps coming up every time, Biles explained. He has done my workout in the gym, and he could barely do it, however, [00:08:15] when it came to doing his NFL workouts, well, she crushed it. That doesn't surprise me in terms of accomplishments in their respective sports, it's really not a fair comparison, right? Despite all the online chatter about her relationship with her husband, [00:08:30] Biles appeared to be unbothered by it all. She is who she is, she posted this bored with it, I guess, are y'all done yet? I guess, let's talk more, if we can, about the lessons here. I'm just, I think I told you offline I don't really leave the house, so just me. [00:08:52] But I tend to, I really don't have any business is what I'm saying, Aida. But I still am very private, I'm very private, I've got zero business. Even my twelve year old said, get some business about yourself because you're always coming in the background and [00:09:07] chiming in on my FaceTime group calls with my friends little penny boppers. But I tend to believe that nobody really needs to know everything, and it's difficult when someone, I mean, you are a celebrity. People know your name, and so I think you probably have experience with people [00:09:25] thinking they can ask you whatever they want and you're just supposed to answer. Because you agreed to an interview. >> Speaker 4: So thank you, I don't really consider myself a celebrity, but I appreciate it [LAUGH]. [00:09:40] But I do not answer the questions that I do not wanna answer, I've learned that it does follow you. I am a stand up comedian, I am locked in arms with people who are very famous and I [00:09:56] see the way they're pursued and persecuted for every single thing that they say. >> Wow. >> And you have to be mindful that there's just a nation of people out there who have nothing to do but sit down and do research. [00:10:12] I mean, imagine the people that have these skills that can go and find these old tweets and they find to see who you're following. Imagine if they use that for a particular career, they would be super successful. >> Yeah. >> They could be private investigators, [00:10:27] they could work for the law, [LAUGH]. >> You're right. >> They could do [INAUDIBLE], and yet they choose to use this stuff for the internet. I'm with you, I think it's important to know, and I do share a lot of my personal stuff. I wrote a book, but those are things that I'm willing to share, [00:10:46] that people who are in the stories I've gotten consent from. I don't want my husband talking about my relationship with him and how we met unless we are both on one accord of. He said, I swiped, so it just seems like it was a mutual thing, [00:11:02] and it just got turned into she pursuing him. And I feel like when you do stuff like that, you just subject yourself to everything, that the Internet is not just the good stuff, but the horrible stuff as well. And that's what we're just, it's really sad for me to watch cuz this is a, [00:11:22] like why should this wash over Simone's accomplishments, [LAUGH]. >> Right. >> Yeah, such an amazing year, why are we talking about who met who on Raya, who's the catch? When she's one of the most celebrated athletes of our time and [00:11:40] she has done the unimaginable. And this is why this stuff bothers me. Cuz now we're talking about how she got her man and who got who and who is the catch and who is this and who's whose type. And everybody talking about it can't do what she did. [00:11:57] >> Yeah. >> Speaker 1: No, not a one. >> Speaker 1: No. Can't even hop up on a curb and stay balanced, no. And I kind of feel for him a little bit because as I listened to the initial controversy, the conversation that sparked it all, I don't think, [00:12:14] even when you are a headline maker. That you understand sometimes that you can politely say, I don't really talk about that. There's certain things that are special between us, or you don't even have to elaborate, it's just not what you're gonna do. So I think he was put off guard, and I'm not gonna say they were [00:12:31] expert interviewers, but expert at maybe being a little messy. And they, like we said, boxed him in to feeling like he was a secondary in this relationship of two equals. We're not talking about their accomplishments and gold medals and [00:12:47] this and that and how many games somebody won. They go home and they lay down, hopefully next to each other, and they live this life that we're not privy to every angle of every insight into. So it just seems like it should fade away, [00:13:03] I do not know, I concur why we care so much. They both have great dimples, okay? So to me, I see that they're a match, whatever. But the Internet is all a buzz and that you would do an entire TikTok like the one gentleman did. [00:13:20] Explaining how he looked and the followers and the BBLs and the other athlete wives, who are we really comparing ourselves to, how many of those relationships work out or don't? I hope that theirs is a sincere and truthful one, [00:13:37] I wish them the best, I just wish them the best. >> Speaker 4: I just wanted to say quickly, also, just beware, I was listening to him and these generalizations that are being made. It's really not scientific data, it's like, this is what you've gathered from what you've seen on the internet. [00:13:55] >> Yeah. >> Speaker 4: There are 52 players on each team in the NFL, that's 100 and, what, 1636 players? You don't know every single one of them, all of them are not on the internet, you don't know who everybody's dating. You know, who's married to or dating those types of women that are in [00:14:12] internet whatever, have that look because they are on the internet. But you don't know everybody to sit there and make those generalization. And it's spoken with an authority, there are two categories, the high school sweetheart and the Kim Kardashian look alike. [00:14:29] No, it's a whole bunch of things and in between, and I will argue that Savannah James is one of the most beautiful women that somebody in the NBA is married to who doesn't look like that whatever look. And so I just sit there, and that's not settling for [00:14:46] a high school sweetheart that's dating a beautiful woman. >> Sure. >> You've been with for a very long time. >> Yeah. >> Speaker 4: I think that's the thing about the internet, which I'm always telling people, is, be careful who you're listening to, cuz people speak with authority, but [00:15:03] what they don't have is information and data. >> Speaker 1: No, they don't. And might I add, I used to be a sideline reporter for the cavs years ago, and LeBron was with the team his first stint, and I probably had more conversations with Savannah under the tunnel. [00:15:19] And she was always this very sweet, down to earth natural beauty and it names, that's how she remains. So you never know what's going on in someone's life, it can be that they fell in love as teenagers and they're living happily ever after. [00:15:37] It really could just be that she can be beautiful and not go the BBL route, but if that's what you wanna do, that's what you wanna do. Hey, do you bo, okay?
