If you’re not getting your official Olympics coverage from Medallica, you’re not doing The Olympics right.
Medallica is the brainchild of Shitshow hosts Gus and Rigs. The premise is simple: the dynamic duo follows the journeys of countries striving to score Olympic success for the first time. In their words, “it’s the Olympics podcast you always wanted, but never had.” It’s total chaos.
During the latest instalment of the podcast, Gus and Rig sat down with Tongan Olympian Pita Taufatofua aka, the athlete that had us revert back to our most gushing teen selves with his immaculately oiled pectoral muscles. Seriously, I can’t remember the last time I felt so giddy and weak at the knees.
Taufatofua, 37, has been a flagbearer for Tonga at the past two Olympic games. This year, he’s competing in taekwondo so in the spirit of things Gus and Rig challenged him to a game of “porn or martial arts category.”
In addition to his abs of steel, Taufatofua also has a heart of gold. A climate activist who has spent years dedicating his time to helping homeless children. Characteristic of his good nature, the athlete opted to use “P” instead of porn. It’s impossibly wholesome stuff, listen to it below.
