Sochi Winter Olympics, International Space Station Torch Spacewalk
The hosts mock the Russian publicity stunt of taking an unlit Olympic torch on a spacewalk outside the International Space Station ahead of the Sochi Winter Games. They characterize the Olympic torch relay as a "scam" and a "bogus sports event" used for nationalistic promotion. Adam Curry recalls a personal anecdote about the lack of public interest during a torch relay through Dallas, Texas.
