Anyway, I swear I'm not hating on the show. I'm just sad I never got to be on, or win, or most of all, invent artifacts and then write low-key amazingly-worded historical accounts about them in Olmec's voice. The end.
I also always wanted the Purple Parrots to win, but they never did. Thank god there was no Nickelodeon version of FanDuel when I was a kid. Or now* while I'm an adult.
*For now, of course. There's profit to be had, people. Make number go up.
Only 32 of 127 teams ever completed the Temple (26.7%). That's a lot of consolation prizes, but nothing would console me from having a masked dude in a loincloth jump out and scare a 12-year-old version of me in a maze. IYKYK.
Per Olmec:
"'You're Butch Cassidy, aren't you?'
He blushed, and lowered the bandana which hid his face.
'The one and only.'
'Can I have your autograph?'
'Can't write, but I do have a calling card.'
He handed her a silver horseshoe. She treasured it all her life, but it disappeared."
☠️☠️☠️
Another damn horseshoe for temple retrieval. This one is apparently Butch Cassidy's calling card.
Then the AUDACITY to make another show with a shoehorned (sorry) horseshoe artifact. Where are you getting so many horseshoes, OLMEC.
"...and during the night, the warriors slip out and open the city gates, and our forces can get in and wreck the place. Which is exactly what they did.'"
WHICH IS EXACTLY. WHAT. THEY DID 🤣 If so, we need that "'No Hard Feelings'- Greeks" note to be the show's artifact. Screw the horseshoe.
From Olmec himself, here's how the Trojan Horse thing went down:
"So, the smartest Greek said, 'Let's build a giant horse and put some warriors inside, leave it outside the city with a card that says 'No hard feelings', and then we'll pretend to sail away. They'll drag the horse into the city...
The "Trojan Horseshoe," one of the famous artifacts that children of Legends of the Hidden Temple were tasked with retrieving from a convoluted, ever-changing temple maze.
Also, wasn't the Trojan horse on wheels and made of wood? Why would there have been a metal horseshoe on it?

Alright, internet. It's time to talk about Legends of the Hidden Temple, because wtf were these kids being put through

I’m more of a waxiness guy when it comes to food texture; that’s why I buy my all my lunches at Subway.

I’m 38 and only know the voices of the Caps to be Joe B. and Locker (and later discovered John Walton, who is phenomenal).
Only they could really match the gravity of the moment and did they ever.
Having only ESPN+++ocho+ as an option would have sucked beyond belief.
Think I’ve finally processed the S2 finale of Severance, and I’m not sure of the last time I’ve seen a better season-finale of TV. Maybe Fargo S5, but what else?

I remember making consistent contact (probably foul balls) with the Randy Johnson batting cage (that probably threw maybe 50 mph tops) when I was 13. I waited in line to do this.
For me it’s more about sitting with the discomfort of being unproductive and accepting it. Helped me to also accept that “laziness” just means not doing something that someone else wants you to do.
Serving up a healthy dose of cornu-COPE-ium (I am so sorry)
Loved this. We really are lucky to see them still doing what made them great.
Also related so hard to the line about being younger, and how your knowledge needed to catch-up to the things (players) you couldn’t witness. Made me examine whether everything I’ve ever learned is just me catching up.
This reanimated my corpse. If only for a little bit.
It is so poetically American to drown out people booing their anthem by using the Boston Pops instead of a Capella singers. They aren’t giving protestors reasons to NOT boo; just making it harder for them to be heard.
