And it's taken a long time for me personally to learn how to do that.

Because, you know, to be a figure skater, you have to be a little bit of a perfectionist and a little bit competitive, at least.

And I think that the way that we embrace the world is often through hard work and preparation, but with humor.

Or what's the point?

And I think that that is similar to the way a lot of people live their lives.

There's so much pressure on people to be great, to be perfect, to win the bread, to hunt and gather, to do all of those things.

And sometimes you just, you want to giggle and you want to giggle with your friend.

And it's just so special that we have these abilities, no matter what they are, no matter what comes our way, know that we will show up, we will be ready, we will be prepared, we will have worked hard to be prepared.

And sparkly.

We both, so in our area, the University of Delaware was the number one training facility for figure skating.

And it's still, skating's still like that.

There'll be huge training bases in Montreal, in Michigan, in California, in New Jersey.

But, you know, back in our time, it was Delaware of all places.

And my parents took me there because of people like Tara Lipinski that had been training there.

And the level of coaching was so high and the level of skating was so high.

And yeah, there's a lot of people that have come through Newark, Delaware, more than you would expect.

Delaware, Delaware, Delaware, Delaware, Delaware.

Neither of you know the rules.

I kept forgetting what I was doing, to be fair.

It's so overwhelming.
