just from humble upbringings.
And then as we got into sports, we were both obviously very competitive.
Tara won so early and there's such a drive that you have to have to be able to accomplish that and hold all the pressure of the world on your shoulders.

And I think figure skating and any professional level sport or Olympic level sport, it forces you into being flawless
And I think that both of us having been raised up in that and like, you're not allowed to fail.
There is no opportunity to fall down.
You cannot do something halfway.
I think that growing up in that gave us the opportunity to, as entertainers now and people that work in television now,
We can just try anything and take it on the chin.
And even if we're not great at it, we can laugh our way through it.
