Aaron's a great pilot, and we just needed to stay calm and do what we got. How'd you do, and we did it. That Olympic song still gives me shows. I know, I have goosebumps.

it's not like she's trained her whole life for a medal in bobsledding.

1:13.4

She was a softball player, a damn good one, right? Yeah, played softball all growing up, played different sports all growing up, and was trying to make the games in softball. When softball got taken out of the games, had to find another sport. Oh, so that's how it all went down. So at one point softball was an Olympic event, but it was like a trial year or something?
