Chapter 3: What are the hosts' thoughts on the Winter Olympics?
It was basically all of the plants in my backyard were blooming and they're all dead now. They're all dead.
We went to Sloss Furnaces in Birmingham on Saturday because we're looking for something out here today. It's awesome. If you're in Birmingham. Wait, what is it called? Sloss Furnaces.
What is that?
If you ever drive through Birmingham, it's the giant steel mill.
What do you do there? What is that?
Well, it's a National Historic Place. It's the most complete example of an early 20th century steel mill in America. What built Birmingham. Because Birmingham, I don't know if y'all know this or not, but there's only like a couple places in the world that have all the ingredients you need to make steel.

Chapter 4: What is the debate around the Winter Olympics versus the Summer Olympics?
And Birmingham is one of them.
Pittsburgh in the South. I unfortunately live a couple miles from one. There you go. It's very loud.
Yeah. There you go. So anyways.
When I first moved here, I was like, why is Thor hitting his hammer all hours of the night? And then I realized it was the steel mill.
That's true. Y'all do have a giant one down there, don't you?
A giant one. I know. I hear it.

Chapter 5: How do the hosts feel about the different Olympic sports?
Well, you know. I only hear it at night. I don't know why. Maybe it's because there's not enough ambient sound to block it out.
It's not Thor. It's Vulcan.
It's Vulcan. You're right. The Vulcan statue. The Vulcan statue in Birmingham. But it sounded. I couldn't tell what it was. It was just like a hammer at all times.
It's the largest cast iron statue in the world. Vulcan.
Chapter 6: What is 'penis gate' and why is it discussed?
It's pretty awesome. I didn't understand it when I first started dating Mr. Alice. And we went to the Vulcan statue all the time. And I was like, what is this weird obsession with the Vulcan?
Yeah. One day in a thousand years when archaeologists dig up Birmingham, they'll say, oh, that must have been the god of the city.
It does look like a god.
I mean, he is a god, but he's a Roman god.
He is a god, but not in that way. Yeah.
We don't worship him. Not officially, at least.
Yeah.
Maybe at one point they did. It does kind of look.

Chapter 7: What insights do the hosts share about biathlon and cross-country skiing?
Yeah, you're right. They would definitely unearth and be like, this is this is the God of the South, I guess.
So tell me this, Alice, did you watch the Olympics as we record this?
Of course, I was pretty obsessed with the Olympics as all good Americans, I guess.
What is your favorite Olympic sport?
They're all so good because I have zero knowledge of any of like immediately as soon as closing ceremonies happen, all the rules and knowledge that I've gained in the last two weeks fall out of my head. So it's like I learned the sports anew every four years.
Can I say this? People always like poo-poo the Winter Olympics as compared to the Summer Olympics. Oh, I love it. I love the Winter Olympics. Summer Olympics... There's nothing else to do in the winter. This is great. The Winter Olympics are awesome. I wish they had the Winter Olympics every two years.

Chapter 8: What reflections do the hosts have on the Olympics as a whole?
I love them.
The thing with the Winter Olympics is... You know, there's all these jokes online of like, we should have a regular person do it. You can't do that with any of the Winter Olympics sports. A regular person will die in 100% of the sports. Curling. Except for curling. Curling is the everyman sport. Okay. I will say, though.
I was like the first time... Remember, when I say the first time, I mean the first time every four years because I truly forget everything about every sport as soon as the closing ceremonies happen. So every time I watch curling for the first time, so the first time I watched curling this time, I was like... What is this? What are they doing? What is the strategy?
Why are they swiffering the ice? How is that affecting anything? What is the point of this? And then within like, I don't know, 45 minutes, I was so invested in curling. And I was like, I don't understand the strategy. I don't understand the rules. I don't understand the physics. But boy, do I love this game.
I gotta say, generally speaking, I'm a big fan of our Canadian friends in the North, even though they don't like me. But my hatred of Canada never burned so bright as when they were cheating at curling. I mean, I don't know what it was. It just like, there was something about it. It's like, how can you, curling is such a pure sport. It's a pure sport. And you're like, you're cheating at curling?
At curling? Of all things. It'd be like cheating at rock, paper, scissors or something. You know, you're like, come on. This is an every man's sport. I mean, look. If you were one of the guys injecting stuff into your penis so that you could fly further in the ski jump, I mean, more power to you, right? You're not cheating. I'm kind of like respect. That dedication, I can appreciate.
I can appreciate that dedication, right? But curling? You can't cheat at curling. Come on, man. What are you doing?
Okay, can we talk about penis skate real quick?
Sure.
