Olympics Leave Paris for LA | Daily Best of August 12 | Rick & Bubba

The Olympics' closing ceremony thankfully left us feeling a little less uncomfortable than the "Last Supper" drag brunch did during the opening ceremony. There were some odd moments and movements, and we break it all down. Speaking of breaking, the break-dancing competition left us all inspired and thinking that we too could become Olympic athletes. Thankfully, Team USA came home with the most medals. In politics, Kamala Harris hits the campaign trail hard but makes it easier on herself by repeating the same exact speech at every stop. JD Vance proves why he is a great pick as Trump's VP. Sponsor: Lumen is the world’s first handheld metabolic coach. It’s a device that measures your metabolism through your breath.
