Did you hear that medal winners at the winter Olympics were given plushies in addition to medals?
Matt Walsh had a whole segment about why it was done but never mentioned the explanation that to me is obvious.
Corruption.
One of the organizer has a relative who sells plushies. This was a way to kick back a large sum ostensibly in payment for the toys.

I’m so disconnected from the culture of ‘today’ that I didn’t even know what ‘plushies’ were. Had to look it up to see if I should get upset. I guess it would be considered corruption if the ‘plushies’ were sold to the government. But maybe they were given to the government to be given to the hockey team. I don’t know?

My kid is 10, and we are still all about plushies. Or stuffies, which is the same thing.
