Chapter 1: What are the differences between luge and bobsledding?
What's the difference between luge and bobsledding? One's forwards, one's backwards, right?
Luge and skeleton are closer. Bobsled's in the thing.
Oh, it's multiple people too, right? Bobsled, you can have one, you can have like one and you can have two and I think you can have four in. Luge is this one. Okay. And luge, you can do two people too. In fact, I'd like to do none of those. Welcome or welcome back to House of Mara Wave Original. Take off your metal.
Oh wait, you guys don't. Sorry.
And help yourself to whatever's in the fridge. The Wi-Fi password is TORCHBEARS, all caps. You should know that we have a few house rules. Girls are magic. Reading is hot. And so are you. If you're watching this, we're in Milan at the Olympics. Be jealous. What do you think we're eating today? We're in Milan. I see... Glass of wine, icy, maybe like a preserved meat. You're so bad.
Some cheese, maybe some tiramisu afterwards. Whoa. I want tortellini and broth. Is that a Roman thing? Who knows? I bet they do it around there too. Yeah, around the parts.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Guess how many Italian guys we probably would have seen today. It's Italy. Hot Italian guys. Because when I went there, I went to Milan a few years ago. This was around the time when 365 Days came out. And I was like, this is going to be big. We're in the money. There was none that looked like Michelle Moroney.
Well, it is the Olympics, so there's definitely going to be a lot of, I would say, hot athletes. So maybe not Italian, but... Hot athlete siblings, too, maybe, around. Athletically built, too. Okay, well, my goal is to get my flirt on. I think I just need to bring more flirt and whimsy into my life. She also said that about England, if you remember.

I will be in multiple places at once.
I want to do it all. Pasta making classes. This. Watching sports. When I was there too, even in the colder weather, they love an outdoor drink. We do an aperitivo. Don't let it stop you because there's heaters for a reason. There's heaters for a reason.
Really?
You know, chic cigarette. A cigarette. No, not to you. Not to you, Miss Adelie. No, no. Why does it look so cool? I'm not going to, but it looks so cool. Every time I touch down in Europe, I'm like, God. They do the thin ones? The Vogue's. That's a huge thing.
I've noticed so many people will import Vogue's from their trips back, which if you don't know, Vogue's are the very long cigarettes from Europe. And thin, right? Thin, yes. Right.

Anyway, let's get into the group chat. We are into group chat, which is something we like to do because we discuss what's going on online. And in our group chats, they get a little bit crazy. I want to do a little bit of touch grass in the group chat because we've been sending videos back and forth to each other of the... what are they calling it? The Japanese cheesecake? Yeah.
Where you take a tub of Greek yogurt. Some people put espresso in it and then they put Biscoff cookies in it and they lie to us and say it tastes just like a cheesecake.

Chapter 3: What viral food trends are discussed in the episode?
And then I bought this butter that was already compound butter with garlic, rosemary. And Olivia's been coming to my place to have dinner a lot, but she hasn't had dinner on her own. But of course, tonight I'm like, just bought $60 worth of steak. The one night I'm not going to be there for dinner. She's making steak, potatoes, kale with this amazing salad. And it was so good.
Alona also baked me a potato. She wasn't having that because skinny. I don't know. Health. Because I told you that. Anyway, we'll get into that. Yeah. And just the way that it was like the perfect potato. It wasn't waxy. It was like so creamy. Kerrygold butter, salt and pep. She's been hiding this from me. Olivia, like I was each bite, like I was rotating between steak and potato.
She was at flow state last night. A real ratatouille moment. No, actually, I was like, I want to save a little piece of this potato for my last bite. Then I'd have steak. And I was like, maybe I should save the steak instead. Meanwhile, I'm eating tuna out of a can at my house and pickles from a jar. And you had a sweet potato.
And the Japanese sweet potato with cheese in it, which everybody, I'm so happy to confirm, tastes like sweet potato with cheese in it. Keep moving. Here's how I cooked the steak. So first off, I called my mom, of course, because she knows how to cook steak. It was a thick piece too. So I first, and everyone listen, I first heated the pan hot. Then I rendered the fat a little bit.
Then I put it on there. Boop. and then I flipped it once it got seared, and then I put that garlic butter in, and then the smoke alarm did go off. And Ajahn had to come in and open up every window in the kitchen. Meanwhile, I'm trying to hold my pan with a kitchen cloth, and I catch it on fire. But I just threw it in the sink, and that was okay. So she's opening every window.
I'm continuing to baste this steak within an inch of its life. And we cannot find the smoke alarm.
We cannot find the smoke alarm.
So it's just going off. And it's just like, I'm hearing it. I'm looking at the ceiling. But I got a base. What am I going to do? She's $60 worth of steak. I can't not look at it. Right, right, right. Cooked perfectly. I cut into that, Adriana. Perfect.
I was doing laundry and I came back to my phone and I had like three missed FaceTime calls from Alona because she wanted me to see the steak I was missing out on. Also, Olivia was invited. She was invited. Right. But she had been over like so much. Yeah, I keep inviting myself over to like read on your balcony and then take a bath. She'll be in the bath for like an hour and a half.

Chapter 4: How do the hosts critique each other's cooking skills?
I am extremely aware of my clean water usage. Whenever I go to the bathroom, I'm like, why am I pooping in the clean water right now? Because the splashback. But I just feel like it's wasted. When I'm in Hong Kong, there's the tubs in the hotel. I actually have a seat. So it's actually like a little bench and a seat.
I won't fill it up all the way because you could sit like this almost and you could get the water to like here in this tub. To me, waste of water. I only fill up the lower part and I lay in the part just for your feet. Can I share something frightening? So last night I took a bath. Oh. And then afterwards I got out and I realized, oh, I went shoe shopping with Olivia. Yeah.
I didn't wash my feet before I took the bath. And then I was thinking about what your gynecologist told you about pulling up draws and catching your feet then going to the cooter. And I was thinking about how many feet also tried on those pairs of shoes. Adriana took a yeast soup last night. No, she didn't. Adriana, you're fine. Olivia, don't feed into that. We are very different.
They are very... How would you describe us? You guys are kind of clean and orderly. um neurotic neurotic yeah not me i'm more flow flow she's a real flow go with the flow to the point where we're like what are you doing stop you mustn't eat that off the floor kind of thing i don't there's not much i wouldn't eat I think about it sometimes and I'm like, yeah, I would eat that. Off of the floor.
No, no, no, not off the floor, but just like in general in life. There's nothing that would make me, I think, throw up. Like things, you know, people throw up when things are disgusting. There's not that would make me barf. Well, what are you eating? I mean, we are at the Olympics as this is happening. What are these athletes eating? What are you eating to train? Like what?
Is this just like carb loading? What is it? Protein? Well... In terms of a personal, I got my body comp done, which is where I get my skin pinched and they tell you like the fat that's on you and your body percentage of fat to muscle. And my body comp was, I'm like the biggest I've ever been in terms of centimeters, but I'm not the biggest weight I've ever been.
So I'm like 208, but I've been 213 and been a smaller body comp before. So that's also my thing where people are so focused on weight when weight can just sell such a small part of the story. I've played my best sometimes at 205 and been really lean. I've also been 205 and been bigger. So I just think... That's where it's cool to know more, more about how you feel, more about who you are.
So I did a body comp. She tested me. I am have the most fat I've ever had on me before, which, of course, is can be tough to hear. I think I have a weird balance of not just being wanting to look good, but how can my body perform?
So that's another added thing of getting into your head about it that, oh, I'm carrying more fat on me, which means I'm not as quick off the ground or that means I'm carrying five extra pounds of fat. something when I'm trying to move fast across the field. So it kind of really can get to you.

Chapter 5: What personal growth topics do the hosts address?
We'll probably. But I think everything is in moderation. Have a wine. I touched down a Milan. It's all out the freaking window. Aperol spritzes. Oh, my God. An Aperol spritz. How do you feel about an Aperol spritz in Feb? Like in the winter? It's like the apres ski drink. Is it? Yeah. I've never apres-skied.
I will say, though, you two, like when, because I will go out and I'll drink and I'll get drunk a lot.
You guys are very kind of particular when you do this. You do do very well with that. Yeah. Or like sometimes I get toe fungus. This was years ago. But if you go on meds for it, you can't drink while on the meds because they can hurt your liver.
Chapter 6: How do the speakers feel about competition in sports?
So for like a few months, I couldn't drink. And I was like, oh, man, I don't know if I want to go out after a tournament. And I went out and I was like, realize, oh, shit, I'm just fun.
yeah like it's never been the alcohol it's making me fun it's just i'm fun and so that also i think actually can even hinder me even if you almost pretend to have the freeness of a drunk person it kind of helps you but yeah i'm placebo placebo i am fun and i think that the alcohol has never made us have that we we use it more for connection which i think we can also use a

She's a figure skater.
Really amazing what she's doing out there. And then even Alyssa Liu. She's been really cool.
Has really cool hair.
She's like, has kind of like hair theory. And each year she adds like another ring to her hair. It's a halo style. Halo style. Whoa. Kind of like what Rosalia had, but with many of them. Oh, interesting. Yeah, she's very cool. We also should say, then, Isabeau, to make the figure skating team complete. Ah, of course. I think New Jersey Queen.
And also, her family lives in Milan, so her grandmother's only been able to see her play once. Oh, shut up. And now it's like a home Olympics, and she's going to be representing the U.S., and her grandmother's going to be there. Oh, my gosh. Beautiful.

Chapter 8: How do the hosts support each other in their personal lives?
That some people are going to think you are the best and a lot of people are going to think you're the worst. And it's hard to be a coach. You're managing people's expectations. You're managing people's dreams and whatnot. So I don't know if I would ever be a coach. I would do some coaching here and there, but I could never be a head coach. That is way too much on me. And I am not a coach type.
I am a player type. And there's even stuff that the best players don't make good coaches. Not saying I'm the best player. But... Great players don't often make good coaches. Sometimes good coaches are the bench players or people who didn't actually play that much. They see the game in a different way. So no. You would kill it out of camp though. Yeah, yeah.
You'd coach the fuck out of a clinic. Oh my God. Can you see her in a clinic? Oh my God.
I'll coach for a little bit, but I can't. Setting up those cones like no one can. She's got them in the back of her car right now. Putting a practice plan on. Oh, come on. No, I don't do that. She's done some like guest coaching.
And even after that, I'm like, whew.
Right. I do want to share. This is Adriana So. She loves this. She told me about this. I don't know if she's heard about it, so I'm excited for you to tell, Alona. I love this story. So when the Canadians were picking there, doing the competition to figure out who they were going to send for women's singles, there's this one skater who had a comeback similar to like a Lindsey Vonn. She was older.
But then there's this younger girl, too, who was... was getting interviewed afterwards about just like anything. Oh, about the chance of the woman's comeback taking the spot. And she goes, how do I say this? Over my dead body is someone going to the Olympics other than me. The sass, the competitiveness. I loved it. I loved it. Because I'm just like, they're athletes.
They're going to be competitive. And I'm like, I love to see that. Like, she's not giving like a media train response, a PC response. Like, that's how she feels. She's worked her entire life for this. Over her dead body is someone going to the Olympics other than her. And she's got this like look in her eye, too. I think I saw this. You probably did. And it's just like.
And I thought to myself. Fuck yeah. Yeah, exactly. I think the same thing. Hey, I wish the best for my teammates. Yeah. But I better be on that roster every time. I want you guys to be really successful.
