"Well, the women just finishing off. You know [what] women are like, hanging around, you know, doing their makeup," he can be heard saying in the segment, as the swimmers made their way from the medal presentation.

Jesus fuck Bob. His co-host is like, "Uh, the boys are doing that too."

Great! Can they fire the other NBC hosts for their incompetence and rejection of the international part of the Olympics?

They seem to only focus on the US and fully ignore certain aspects of the Olympics if the US isn't the priority.
