| 0:00.0 | We're back. We're back. It's just me and Roth this week. Roth is in New York. I am here. |
| 0:11.4 | Say hi to everybody, Roth. I have made a discovery this week that after I posted my take that I could ski jump, or I think I could ski jump, |
| 0:21.5 | even though I really, |
| 0:23.2 | the strength of that take was a little lukewarm |
| 0:27.4 | because secretly I would not attempt to ski jump. |
| 0:30.3 | Yeah. |
| 0:30.7 | Like, I want to believe that you can ski jump, |
| 0:32.3 | but I really hope you never try. |
| 0:34.5 | Or if I do, you secretly hope |
| 0:36.7 | that I just drop and land on my head. |
| 0:40.6 | It seems like that's the way that people do it is if you don't jump, you just get to the |

| 1:15.4 | I watched the video of Sweeney because Swaney is something, we'll get into this, |
| 1:22.5 | but she essentially tried to get into the Olympics any way she could by gaming any sports she could. |
| 1:45.6 | And you watch all the training videos, it looks like, it looks like an outtake of like, Leslie Nope, trying new sports from Parks and Recreation. It really does. Like, like, you could see Ron Swanson just arching an eyebrow at her, like, trying to, like, do rollerblades up like a flight of park stairs and stuff like that stuff from the workout videos are amazing too because it's not even clear what skills she's training |
| 1:48.8 | it's just like you just jumped off a trampoline into a ball pit like I did that when I was |
| 1:52.7 | seven and like it was cool as hell like it's cool that you're able to spend time as an adult doing |
