Hey, I'm Steph.

I'm Alex.

And this is not today.

And we're live. Hey. How are you? Great. How are you? I'm doing all right. Okay. It's the weekend. You've got your little glass of wine. I do. That you got me for Christmas. I'm finally getting around to it. Yep. It's still good. Imagine that. I'm glad. Yeah. Honestly, this feels like an appropriate episode to, like, be sipping on a glass of wine for. Okay. And why is that? Because we're talking about Tanya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan, so. Okay. You know nothing about Tanya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan? They sound familiar, but I don't. Wow. I'm sorry, I'm not. No, that's okay. I just... I'm not up on it. We're gonna talk about a lot then, I'm sure. Maybe I'll be reminded when you tell me the story, because I never remember names of anybody. They're figure skaters. Oh, you might have teased this to me. I'm sure I did at some point. But I wanted to talk about it right now because the Olympics is happening. I don't know if it's over now. Is it done or is it still happening? I continue to get things in my feeds. I think hockey's in the middle right now too. Also, this is like at the time that we're recording, obviously. This is going to come out a little bit later.

But yeah, I mean, I figured the Olympics is happening.

Why not talk about some scandal that happened around the time of the Olympics and having to do with the Olympics?

It seemed topical.

Yeah.

This is crazy.

Norway is winning currently in number of medals.

Wow. As well as gold medals. Okay. That's crazy. I guess it is the winter games. You know, that's their beat. That would make sense. You know? Yeah. Italy's number two. Shout out. Shout out. Well, but yeah, I think we're still very much in the middle of it. Okay. Well, before we jump in, we always plug Patreon at the top. So go over there and check out all of our bonus episodes.

But why don't we jump into this week's story, shall we? Sure. Why don't we do a triple axle into this week's story? Whoa. Yeah? For all you figure skater heads out there? Oh, I was going to say super stees. Okay. This doesn't apply. Yeah. What's this figure skating slang? Shredding glass. I like shredding glass.

Yeah.

That makes sense. Cutting glass. Cutting glass. Yeah. Okay. Pounding glass. No? It kind of sounds like you're doing drugs now. So, maybe not. Isn't that, that would make it more fun. Okay, let's get started, shall we? Okay, fine. Okay. Tanya Maxine Harding was born on November 12th,

1970 in Portland, Oregon to parents Lovana Golden and Albert Harding. Lovana had been married

several times before Albert and had a few other children from those relationships. So while Tanya was the

youngest of five children, she was the only child to Lovana and Albert.

And I believe she didn't have any other kids in the house with her.

So for the most part, she was kind of like an only child.

And Lovana was married six times.

The sixth time.

It's the charm.

Right.
