That's the purpose of the episode ... Pauly saw me angry in the heat of a moment and wanted to share it, since I normally maintain a sober composure.

Your comparisons to Iran and the Olympics are inexplicable. I guarantee that if an athlete, let's say a sprinter, passed out moments before a gold medal event just out of the view of the fans in the stadium, Olympic officials would block any and all photographers from taking pictures of that athlete. (Obviously, if it happened in full view of the entire stadium, there's much less they could do about the situation.) And the comparison to Iran is simply absurd. The amount of anger you expressed on this podcast would be nothing compared to the anger felt by people risking their lives to protest a major society-wide injustice to hear their situation compared to yours.
