Hey, everybody, thank you guys for showing up on our president's day,

0:04.0

extravaganza here, and we thought it would be a great idea to go over the most athletic

0:10.1

presidents of all time.

0:16.4

So we did the research and we've each got two candidates.

0:19.5

So I'm going to start this bad boy up.
