Speaker 1: We went to dinner, then we went to my show.

Speaker 1: Really fun, working on all my new material for my

24
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: new tour, and then we went and gambled. I won

25
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: thirty five hundred dollars. I mean, I'm unstoppable, basically. I've

26
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: also I'm betting on the super Bowl, so that's good.

27
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 2: Oh, she's a sports betting girly. Yeah, I'm bored. I'm

28
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 2: betting with sports. Yeah. Me and my new friend are

29
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 2: betting a lot.

30
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: He's a gambler, so I've just decided to join his

31
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: gambling addiction.

32
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 2: And I'm into it. As long as you keep winning,

33
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 2: it's great.

34
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: But I had a six am flight out of Vegas,

35
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: so I got home at one point thirty and then

36
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: at four I was like, guys, I don't know that

37
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make this flight. I said to my assistance,

38
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: I'm like you guys, so you know have a backup one,

39
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: but I don't like spending the day in Vegas, and

40
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 1: the next direct flight back to Vancouver was at four

41
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: forty five, so I went to bed at one thirty,

42
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: woke up at four point thirty to make my six

43
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 1: thirty flight, six fifteen flight out of Vegas to Vancouver.

44
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: I was drunk at the airport. I was a mess.

45
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 1: I got to Vancouver. I spent the entire time looking

46
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: at ridiculous videos of the people that trend where people

47
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: call their parents and say the police are coming following

48
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: them back to their house because they told them their

49
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: parents had fallen, so that when they get home to

50
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: their house, their parents have to be on the ground

51
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: acting like they felt down the stairs. I mean, I

52
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: was laughing so hard on the flight. I was so delirious.

53
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: I finally sobered up. I got to Vancouver. I get

54
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,119
Speaker 1: off the plane and I forget I had a tote

55
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: bag because Carlos brings all my stuff from LA so

56
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: I don't have to travel with a lot. But I

57
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: forgot my tote bag, which had my computer, like all

58
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: my stuff.

59
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: I left it in the overhead. Been just completely forgot.

60
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: I hadn't even had bags yeah, walked all the way

61
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 1: to customs and this woman is like.

62
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 2: Miss miss you left your bag in the overhead been

63
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 2: and she was another passenger. Oh my god, who ever

64
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 2: pays attention? And she didn't recognize me because she didn't

65
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 2: say miss handler. Yes, yeah she didn't. She was just like,

66
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 2: miss I brought this for you, you left me.

67
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh my god, I'm like, who pays

68
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: attention to other people's luggage? Like I don't pay attention

69
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: to who's putting what in the overhead bit it was

70
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 1: real nice.

71
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 2: I'm like, thank you so much. I mean it was Yeah,

72
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 2: that was stories of faith in humanity. I know, I know,

73
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 2: I know. I'm a lucky girl.

74
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I do have to ask you, what do

75
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 3: you think about all this Beckham drama?

76
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 2: Are you keeping up on this a little bit about

77
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 2: Victoria Beckham and the kids?

78
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't really know anything about them, but

79
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: it tracks from what I do know, it does.

80
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 2: It sounds plausible.

81
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 3: I feel like there's probably bad behavior on both sides.

82
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 3: But I feel like the big red flag is that

83
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 3: the like son and daughter in law just had like

84
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 3: they renew their vows already, like they had a vow renewal.

85
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 3: I'm like, when you have to do that a year

86
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 3: or two in, Yeah, I think it's curtains. Yeah, it's

87
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 3: a bad sign. I think, yeah, you're probably right about that. Yeah,

88
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 3: I don't know.

89
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 2: I don't know.

90
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: I don't find that much interest in the and that

91
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: and that story. But I mean, yeah, it's kind of.

92
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 2: I just like people airing their dirty laundry that I

93
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 2: find out.

94
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: What about the Blake Lively and Taylor Swift messages and

95
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: all the what not? Even first of all, Taylor Swift

96
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 1: comes out looking awesome once again. Of course, Blake Lively

97
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:33,120

Speaker 1: have all of those texts and voice memos released.

99
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 2: It's so embarrassing.

100
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 3: Can you imagine every random thing you texted your front

101
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 3: no way, no way.

102
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: God is just like stop it. Those two must be

103
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: like under a curtain somewhere and like stop, make this

104
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: go away.

105
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 3: They didn't get the Oprah advice of like imagine it

106
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 3: on the front page of the New York Times, like

107
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 3: whatever you're.

108
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: Sending it a text or you think about that when

109
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 1: I text people anything, I'm like, does you imagine this

110
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: is going to be public at some point, because it

111
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,840

Speaker 4: How are you feeling, I'm feeling good. Look, we needed

128
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 4: to catch up Chelsea before the Olympics. We know we're

129
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 4: approaching closely, so I just needed your inside before we

130
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 4: head over to Italy. But so far the season's been

131
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 4: been great. But now I'm feeling really good and yeah,

132
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 4: and naturally, obviously getting and went under the belt this

133
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 4: time of year is a good confidence boost. So yeah,

134
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 4: looking forward to the rest of the season.

135
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 2: I want to know all of it.

136
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 1: I want to know how what your process is, how

137
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: you maintain what you do before you race. I mean, listen,

138
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 1: your favorite to win gold at the Olympics this year,

139
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 1: so no pressure. You are a snowboarder, so I take

140
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 1: issue with that because we're going to have to discuss

141
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 1: that etiquette as well. The only two times I've been

142
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 1: hit on a ski mountain are by snowboarders, two snowboarders,

143
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 1: and one happened the other day too. But first of all, okay,

144
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: let's talk gold at the Olympics and Milan Courtina. So

145
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: tell me how you're feeling about it, How you look

146
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: at things like this, What do you do with the

147
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: pressure that is put upon you by being so good.

148
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 4: At what you do? Yeah, I mean, naturally, coming into

149
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 4: this games, it's you know, you feel that pressure. I

150
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 4: think there's always the pressure you put on yourself, but

151
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,679
Speaker 4: then you know, there's all this exterior pressure that people

152
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 4: put on you to want to they want you to

153
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 4: show up and deliver maybe the result that they expect,

154
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 4: and that's from the fans to your country that you're representing,

155
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 4: and I think most importantly more so myself. I think

156
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 4: I do go into every event with the intent to

157
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 4: want to do my best and put my best foot

158
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 4: forward to win, and that's the approach with the Games.

159
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean when you're out there wearing your

160
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 4: country colors and you're flat flying the flag and there's

161
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 4: obviously a lot more attention, you know, you feel that

162
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 4: pressure a bit more. But I mean it's my fifth

163
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 4: go around now, so from the pressure perspective, but also experience,

164
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 4: I feel a little bit more vintage, which is a

165
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 4: good thing I think in this case. So I'm no

166
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 4: to be honest, I'm really excited. I feel like I've

167
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 4: had a great preparation and the leadup's been awesome. So

168
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 4: I just have to focus on the important things like

169
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:59,679
Speaker 4: fundamentals and making sure that I'm prepared from a practical

170
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 4: stamp point snowboarding and the rest will we'll do what

171
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 4: it will do.

172
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: And what happens the day of what happens the day

173
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: of a big competition, Like are you superstitious?

174
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 2: What is your regimen? What is your ritual.

175
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 4: I don't have too many rituals. I necessarily do before

176
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 4: the event, but I always wear my red gloves in

177
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 4: the events, Like I guess that's a ritual. It's something

178
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 4: that I always have. I listened to a lot of

179
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 4: music actually when I'm training and competing as well, No

180
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 4: specific artists, just depends how I'm feeling on.

181
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 2: The day, elevator music. Wait, what's with the red gloves?

182
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 2: Where did those come from? Is that to remind people

183
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 2: that you're a redhead?

184
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 4: Exactly? Yeah, yeah, just because you know, I got so

185
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 4: much equipment on and you know, it's hard to see

186
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 4: the red hair sometimes. But now, in two thousand and seventeen,

187
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 4: I want to say, I won my first X Games

188
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 4: gold medal and I'd come from another event in Switzerland

189
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 4: and I saw these red gloves, which a brand at

190
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 4: the time had sent me in. Anyway, I put the

191
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 4: gloves on, and I felt like I was coming out

192
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 4: to fight a bit that week, a bit of strength

193
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 4: and adversity, and I won the event and it was

194
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 4: obviously a huge market event for us, and ever since

195
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 4: then it's been my thing. I always wear my red gloves,

196
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 4: so it's been a fun little narrative.

197
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 2: Oh, I like that.

198
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: There was just a gambling movie that I watched with

199
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: Colin Farrell where he wore gloves while he gambled, but

200
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: he lost all the time. And I'm like, how does

201
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 1: superstitions maintain when they don't work.

202
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:25,719
Speaker 2: A lot of the time, you know what I mean?

203
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 1: When people are like, I've got to do it this way,

204
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: I've got to do it, and it's like it's not

205
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: working for you, so stop doing that.

206
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 4: He doesn't have the right gloves on your calling some

207
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 4: of the red.

208
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 2: Onesah, how many pairs of red gloves do you have?

209
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 4: By the way, many many? Well, we make our own gloves,

210
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 4: we sell them. But you know I also have I

211
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 4: mean through a season, I actually don't use that many.

212
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 4: Like one pair. They're pretty durable and good. But yeah,

213
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,559
Speaker 4: in a season, I try and keep one pair because

214
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 4: when I wear one pair, it's a bit superstitious. Like

215
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 4: I'm like, I got to keep wearing them, particularly if

216
00:09:59,000 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 4: it's a good season.

217
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, And so I know you're friends with Sean Waite.

218
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: You guys are buddies, right, You competed a lot together

219
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,599
Speaker 1: and now you've you've surpassed him. I mean you're the

220
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: greatest snowboarder of all time as we sit here today.

221
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: So how does that impact your relationship? Because I know

222
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 1: how insecure he is.

223
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 4: I'm just kidding.

224
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 2: I do know how insecure he is.

225
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:22,719
Speaker 4: So but we all are, We all are, That's very true. Well,

226
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 4: if you look hard enough, everyone's got one, that's right.

227
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 4: I think we have a good relationship. Actually, I think

228
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 4: naturally evolved over time because you know, I was a

229
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 4: little kid, put him on a pedestal and you know,

230
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 4: as a hero, and yeah, naturally, you know, with respect

231
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 4: the Shawn, he's one of the greats in my discipline.

232
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 4: So always looked up to him, and from when I

233
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 4: was a kid to watching to I guess to try

234
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 4: and emulate the kind of success he had in the career,

235
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 4: and then being able to do that in my own way,

236
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 4: and then us building a relationship on the mountain. Obviously competitors.

237
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 4: We both wore our heart on our sleeves at times.

238
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 4: There's ten to them, him retiring and now you know,

239
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 4: we text and we have a good relationship. So yeah,

240
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 4: it's been a fun journey, I guess, to say the least.

241
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 4: But yeah, I have a lot of respect for him.

242
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 4: I think he's been amazing on the hill.

243
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: I want to know more about what you guys do

244
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: when you What do you do when you when when

245
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: you win?

246
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 2: How do you celebrate?

247
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: Because I was talking to Mikaela Schiffrin and she just

248
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 1: like found out about Champagne a year ago, and I'm like, sister,

249
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: what is the point of winning all of these and

250
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: being on all these podiums and winning all of these

251
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: races if you don't know how to celebrate. She's like,

252
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: it just never occurred to us. She's like, I didn't

253
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: even know. And then once I think she celebrated once,

254
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 1: she's like, oh wait, wait, wait, this is actually a

255
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: really good time.

256
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 2: We should do this more often.

257
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 4: Well, unlike Mikayla Shifferin and Chelsea, you be very proud

258
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 4: of me. I discovered the Champagne celebrations a little while ago.

259
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 2: So you're Australian, so I do believe you. I do

260
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 2: believe you. The only people who drink more than Americans

261
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 2: are Australians, so I get it. Exactly where did you

262
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 2: grow up in Australia.

263
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 4: I grew up in a little town about forty five.

264
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 4: I mean it's out of Melbourne. The city called Warrem Knighte.

265
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 4: So it's a tongue twister that you can try and

266
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:07,199
Speaker 4: say it Warren Knight.

267
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 2: Warren Date. Okay, I tried it and it worked. So

268
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 2: it's a huge six. Get a bottle of champagne.

269
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 4: Hold on one second, You're allowed to enter our local pub.

270
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 4: It's like, you know, it's the right of passage if

271
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 4: you can say Warren Ntte. So yeah, no, little town

272
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 4: and my family still live there and I've got a

273
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 4: house not far from there.

274
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: So yeah, and so how does one get into snowboarding?

275
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: I know a lot of skiing happens in Australia. People

276
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: come over here.

277
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 2: I love.

278
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: I'm in Whistler, Canada right now and where this mountain

279
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:36,319
Speaker 1: is filled with ausie.

280
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 2: So how did you start in? Like what age? You're

281
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 2: like three years old?

282
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 4: Right? Yeah, I was really young when I started. I

283
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 4: don't even remember the first day, the first day I

284
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 4: went on the hill first time. I kind of remember snowboarding.

285
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 4: I would have been probably seven or eight years old,

286
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 4: maybe ten, but i'd started. Yeah, when I was three.

287
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 4: At least I was on skis I think for a

288
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 4: little bit, which is a bit controversial, but transferred over

289
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 4: to snowboarding. Yeah we I mean in Australia, we do

290
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 4: have mountains, we have snowy mountains.

291
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 5: You know.

292
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 4: My local resort in Australia's Threadbos. So we we just

293
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 4: don't have a long season, so we were always having

294
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 4: to travel overseas. I actually spent a lot of time

295
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 4: in Canada and BC. We just got a mountain called

296
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 4: Big White. I went to Whistler. Yeah, yeah, we loved

297
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 4: it over there. So my family weren't your typical Aussie

298
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 4: family playing tennis, to going to the beach or doing

299
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 4: you know those summer sports that most Australians do. We

300
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 4: were chasing the winter so it's fun.

301
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: And so at what age did you go okay, this

302
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: is going to be I want to know how something

303
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: like this happens when you start so early, Like what

304
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: percentage of your parents' encouragement was it, what percentage passion

305
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: was it? Like what's the ratio of how things started

306
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: to get serious for.

307
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 4: You in this sport. I would say I think others

308
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 4: made that decision for me, because you know, so young,

309
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 4: you don't really snowboarding. Such a young demograph we have.

310
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 4: You know, I'm now thirty one and I'm competing against

311
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 4: eighteen year olds, and even before that, if you're you know,

312
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 4: extraordinary talent, you're sixteen and you know you're competing with

313
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 4: the men. So it's you do have to start young

314
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 4: and get good young so you can start to repel

315
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 4: yourself into the career. So I really don't think I

316
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 4: realized that it was a professional career or something that

317
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 4: I would comprehend until I was about thirteen or twelve

318
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 4: or thirteen years old. But before that, you know, even

319
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 4: now speaking to my parents, they had to kind of

320
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 4: realize that dream for me. It is something that I

321
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 4: obviously wanted to do, but they had to create the

322
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 4: pathway for me from when I was, you know, seven

323
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 4: or eight years old. I obviously had no awareness of that.

324
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 4: I was just up on the mountain enjoying what I

325
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 4: was doing and having fun and I still do that,

326
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 4: but they were, you know, creating that avenue for me

327
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 4: if it's something that I really wanted to do down

328
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 4: the line. So that point would have been, I would

329
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 4: say twelve eleven or twelve years old was when I

330
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 4: was like, okay, I want to take that leap into

331
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 4: realizing this as a potential profession.

332
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: Because you're one of you're the youngest of four kids. Yeah, yeah,

333
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: and so are you. Were you the only one in

334
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: your family that got that passionate about sport?

335
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, youngest in my family of four, the most spoilt one.

336
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 4: Apparently in the midst too.

337
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: I'm the youngest of sex and it's the best position

338
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: to be in.

339
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 2: The youngest is the best.

340
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 4: I mean, Chelsea, look at us, we're the best. I mean,

341
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 4: it just is what it is, you know, but not

342
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 4: I think it was ten or eleven. I propelled myself

343
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 4: into it.

344
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 3: I have a question about like, as your body is

345
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 3: changing when you're starting that young. I know, you're pretty

346
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 3: tall for a snowboarder, Like you're starting with one center

347
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 3: of gravity, and you know, growing into a very different

348
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 3: shaped human.

349
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 2: What was that like and were there struggles with that?

350
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 4: Absolutely? Yeah, I would. I would say I'm a very

351
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 4: differently shaped human up there on the mountain.

352
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: Did you try to stunt your growth so it could

353
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: be a little bit more operational for you? I guess

354
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: it's not really having that much of an impact for you.

355
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: So if you were shorter, who knows if you'd be

356
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: able to accomplish all.

357
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 2: Of these things.

358
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it might have helped, and maybe my

359
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 4: parents looked into that They're like, oh boy, how are

360
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 4: we going to stop this growth thing from happening? But no,

361
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 4: it's yeah. I mean a lot of my competitors are

362
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 4: five four five three six foot two, so it's a

363
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 4: it's a significant difference, And where that can be challenging is,

364
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 4: without getting into too much snowboarding lingo, the half pipe,

365
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 4: the walls twenty two foot high, and typically when you're

366
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 4: riding up the wall, you're hitting a lot of g force.

367
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 4: So when you have a lower center of gravity, you

368
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 4: naturally don't have as much force pulling you down into

369
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 4: the ground, and you can kind of just you're just

370
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 4: a little bit more in control. You have a bit

371
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 4: more awareness of your your surroundings. And for me, sometimes

372
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 4: I feel a little bit like Bamby, like my limbs

373
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 4: are flying every direction and I'm trying to pull them

374
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 4: back in. So I'm compact like the other guys, but

375
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 4: you know, naturally I also have some benefits whereas I'm

376
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 4: a bit heavier. So when it's snowing, we know we're

377
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 4: in an unpredictable profession where it snows, when there's a

378
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 4: lot of variables in those conditions, I'm a bit heavier,

379
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 4: so I can carry more speed. Amplitude is a big

380
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 4: criteria in our sport, so it can be also beneficial,

381
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 4: So I like to focus on the positives, I guess,

382
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 4: but it is a very big difference.

383
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 2: Yeah.

384
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, And you're married to your wife, says she's your

385
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 1: Your wife name is Chloe, she says, she's the CEO

386
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: of your life. She's an heiress to the Aston Martin fortune.

387
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 1: So you're basically a kept man by your wife. So

388
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 1: how does that feel as a professional athlete?

389
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 4: Yep, she's the CEO of Scutty James, as she says,

390
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 4: and she keeps the trains on the tracks.

391
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, how did you lock that down? Scudy?

392
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,919
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, should we go down the whole the

393
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 4: whole story? She always says, I don't tell the story

394
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 4: in detail, but today I can make the exception of

395
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 4: doing that.

396
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

397
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 1: We have a lot of female listeners, so they definitely

398
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: want the details.

399
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 4: So yeah, gotcha. Okay, Well, I explained it in my

400
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 4: wedding speeches, me being Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City,

401
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 4: and I was in New York City walking down one

402
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 4: of the streets in New York and I was thinking,

403
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 4: you know, maybe tonight's the night my love story is

404
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 4: about to begin. And I was playing that that audio

405
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 4: in my head. Walked to a restaurant called Motel Morris

406
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 4: in New York City. It's on the corner of I

407
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 4: wan't say seventh and eighteenth, but I could be wrong.

408
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 4: We got to the restaurant, I met Chloe. I knew

409
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 4: her brother actually before I met Chloe connected us and

410
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 4: sure enough here we are married with a little little

411
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 4: guy as well, and I'm still friends with her brother.

412
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: So so what was your move? What did you say

413
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 1: to her? When did you know that you liked her?

414
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: And then how did you follow up on it?

415
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 4: M I mean, I think initially she was probably a

416
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 4: bit skeptical, had a very similar experience as yourself with snowboarders.

417
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 4: Her dad frankly didn't like the idea of a snowboarder.

418
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 4: Apparently when she was younger, she was also run over

419
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 4: by a snowboarder, so off to a bad start before

420
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 4: I even walked into the restaurant, so approval from dad

421
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 4: was like big no, no, snowboarder. Naturally, over time, the

422
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 4: accent played a bit of a role and you know,

423
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 4: we both shared a couple of bottles of wine and

424
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 4: that helps.

425
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, okay, that does help. The accent also helps.

426
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: For some reason, Americans are just like, she's American, right, Canadian? Canadian?

427
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: Was same thing? Well actually not now, but usually it's

428
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 1: the same thing. But yes, yes, and we're suckers for accents.

429
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: It doesn't really matter which one any will do. We

430
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: just love an accent. So that gets you, That gets

431
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: you further for.

432
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 4: Sure, hopefully in some cases. Yes, yeah, yeah.

433
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 2: And now you guys have a kid. You have a

434
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 2: one year old?

435
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, little Leo. He's one in a few months now.

436
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 4: I'm told myself, I'm not going to be the dad

437
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 4: that says like says it by the months. I'm like,

438
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 4: he's won in three months. I'm I'm not going to

439
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 4: be like a he's a twenty month No, I would

440
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 4: do it too confusing. Just he's one year and a bit.

441
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 4: That's where that's where he's at that moment.

442
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly exactly. The people who talk in months.

443
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:15,919
Speaker 1: I once had somebody talk to me and said, Tommy

444
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: that her child was seventy two months.

445
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 2: I was like, what, I was like, is that five?

446
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 2: What are you talking about do you mean five?

447
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't even know what seventy two months is,

448
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 1: but it's long and I don't have time for that.

449
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 1: Has your son hit the slopes yet? Have you put

450
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 1: him on a snowboard yet?

451
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 4: Not yet? No? No. I went up on the hill

452
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 4: and I put him in the backpack and we went riding,

453
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 4: which was really fun. But I haven't got him on

454
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 4: the board yet. A lot of people ask me that question.

455
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 4: But we'll see when the time's right he can give

456
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 4: it a go.

457
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

458
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 1: Okay, let's move on to snowboarding and why it's what

459
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 1: is the what is the problem? What when you are

460
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 1: not a professional athlete like yourself. I want to know,

461
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: and I don't want to shame snow borders. I'm dating

462
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: as somebody who's snowboards right now. I'm trying to transition

463
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: him to skiing, but I don't know that could be

464
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 1: a bigger commitment.

465
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 2: But what is the issue.

466
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: Between skiers and snowboarders and where does it come from?

467
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 1: And are there different two different sets of etiquette or

468
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: one set of etiquette?

469
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 4: I mean, I think I think it's more so the

470
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 4: skiers have the problem with the snowboarders, not the other

471
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,880
Speaker 4: way around. I mean, it's just it's the history.

472
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 2: And but why is there such tension. Why why it's

473
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 2: like England and Ireland.

474
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: Why you don't think snowboarders care about skiers. They don't

475
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: have a problem, They wouldn't want a snowboard only mountain.

476
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 4: Yeah. I don't know what the gripe is between the two.

477
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 4: I don't have an agenda. I'm like, if you like

478
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 4: the mountains and you have as much fun as I do,

479
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 4: go ahead. But you know, maybe snowboarders in this case

480
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 4: where you're getting run over and you know, Chloe's been

481
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 4: run over in the past, is just not building a

482
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,439
Speaker 4: great strong case for us. There's also mountains still in

483
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 4: the US where you're not allowed to snowboard. So yeah.

484
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,439
Speaker 4: I actually, funnily enough, when I stayed at the hotel

485
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 4: at one of those mountains before, and it's quite a

486
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,120
Speaker 4: strange experience, fighting with not going out on the hill

487
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 4: but staying in the hotels, felt like I was really

488
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 4: in the wrong territory.

489
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 2: Where were you at Deer Valley? Are you talking about

490
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 2: Deer Valley?

491
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 4: Yeah? I was there, Yeah, Yeah, I know.

492
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 2: I love it there because there are no snowboarders. I mean,

493
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 2: I want us to get along. I do. I just

494
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 2: don't understand that. It's like it's like a different ilk.

495
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 1: It's like they just come and it's so rough, and

496
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 1: then you hear them and you can't see them, and

497
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: and but it's not it's not the behavior of the

498
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:39,439
Speaker 1: snowboard obviously, it's the behavior of the snowboarder. There's just

499
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: a more of all you.

500
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 2: Guys think.

501
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 4: No, then we don't think it. It's just that we

502
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 4: can talk about facts. I mean, it's it's important to

503
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 4: get back to the show. You know. We we're more comfortable.

504
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 4: We walk around like in shoes. You know, we could

505
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 4: wake up, roll out of our bed. It's like slippers

506
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,400
Speaker 4: and I could wear those until I go to bed

507
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 4: at night. I just also think that skiers are a

508
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 4: little bit upset and they're just like they're just angry

509
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 4: that they can't do that.

510
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 1: Here we go, here it comes. I don't think we

511
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: have a problem with skiers. And now he unleashes, unleashes

512
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 1: this vitriol. How old were you when you went to

513
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 1: your first Olympics?

514
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 4: First Olympics, I was fifteen.

515
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,360
Speaker 2: Okay, so that's crazy, and how old were you when

516
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 2: you left home.

517
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,919
Speaker 4: I left home when I was sort of pursue it

518
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 4: when my parents decided, well and myself, it was all

519
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 4: of us and my family collectively decided I wanted to

520
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 4: pursue it professionally. I was twelve. I was really young,

521
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 4: so it was a massive commitment from my parents to

522
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 4: have the trust in my coach at the time and

523
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 4: his sister to look after me not only on the mountain,

524
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 4: but off the mountain as well. And through that time

525
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 4: from twelve, I was able to realize a professional career

526
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,679
Speaker 4: in the sport. And then by fourteen I was offered

527
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 4: the opportunity to go on wrappers in Australia, which was

528
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:06,360
Speaker 4: a unique special experience and you know, fortunately making it there.

529
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 4: I was fifteen at the time and taking full adventage

530
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 4: of all the free McDonald's in Vancouver.

531
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 1: That's nice that you could take you McDonald's while you're

532
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:16,919
Speaker 1: a teenager growing up and.

533
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 4: The case anymore, No, no, you can't.

534
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 2: As soon as you're an adult. You have to stop that.

535
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: But what was it like leaving your family at twelve

536
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 1: years old? I mean that must have been emotional and

537
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: for all of you guys, for your siblings, for your parents,

538
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: for you.

539
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was hugely emotional. And recently we just made

540
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 4: a documentary and for the first time in a long time,

541
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,159
Speaker 4: you know, it was kind of the first time that

542
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 4: I'd really heard everyone else's experience about that. I mean,

543
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 4: it's almost been twenty years since since that moment when

544
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 4: I left Melbourne and going away overseas on my own.

545
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,239
Speaker 4: I remember being at the airport and it was just

546
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 4: the floodgates are open. Everyone was very emotional, myself included.

547
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 4: All the way through the flight from Melbourne to Sydney,

548
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 4: I was crying, and then all the way over to Europe.

549
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 4: And yeah, I think that my parents didn't even realize

550
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 4: how emotional I was until we watched the film recently.

551
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 4: And then I didn't realize out their side of the

552
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 4: story until we watched it recently as well. And my

553
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 4: mum said to me the other day, She's like, you know,

554
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 4: if we had have known how upset you were, we

555
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 4: never would have sent you. And I said to Mum,

556
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 4: I was like, yeah, but look what we've realized, Like

557
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 4: as much as much as it was so hard in

558
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 4: the moment, and you know, I do think that all

559
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 4: extraordinary things that you want to try and accomplish takes hardship,

560
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,919
Speaker 4: and you know that was mine. But I was able

561
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 4: to travel with great people and I was in a

562
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 4: good and safe environment. It was a challenging time. But

563
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 4: it's nice to reflect on now.

564
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would imagine it just gives you so much. A.

565
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:58,679
Speaker 1: You grew up real quick, right, and B you just

566
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 1: become really independent and self sufficient at a young age,

567
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 1: even if you do have people helping you.

568
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely. And I think you know even more so

569
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:11,120
Speaker 4: is you know the stigma. It's snowboarding, it's smarking, it's drinking,

570
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 4: it's partying, it's you know, it's it's a wild same

571
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 4: still today as.

572
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:19,880
Speaker 1: I love all things I love and start snowboarding exactly,

573
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: you can do that while you ski.

574
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 2: Also, by the way, just.

575
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 4: So my parents isn't there naturally, I mean now I'm

576
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 4: a data would be thinking about that. The environment and

577
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 4: the and the world you got into. It's evolved a

578
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 4: lot since then, but yeah, a lot of factors for

579
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 4: them to think about, which I'm sure and I lost

580
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 4: sleep over.

581
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, and also I'm sure, and also it's such a

582
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 1: and you're the baby on top of it.

583
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 2: But it's also such a solitary sport.

584
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 5: You know.

585
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 1: It's like, I mean, I guess all these kind of

586
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: mountain sports are very solitary unless you're doing you know,

587
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: like you know, you're working together. But like, how does

588
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: how does that impact your relationship with other athletes, and

589
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,199
Speaker 1: how does it impact your relationship with your coaches like

590
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: you become is it like would you compare it to

591
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 1: maybe like a tennis player or do you feel more

592
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 1: like you're on more of a team.

593
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 4: Yeah? Sure, so I think the unique thing about snowboarding

594
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 4: or our world, which is very cool, is everyone does

595
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 4: have a good relationship. So you're up there at the

596
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 4: top of the pipe, for example, you know, some might

597
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 4: wish each other luck, like it's a little bit more

598
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 4: call it happy go lucky in the sense of being

599
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 4: a little bit less cutthroat. I'm probably more so on

600
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 4: the other side where I'm up there, I have intention,

601
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 4: I'm not necessarily focused on making friends in that exact moment.

602
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 4: But yeah, I would say that there is a sense

603
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 4: of solitude that you have to be okay with being alone,

604
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 4: be okay with being extremely selfish about what your endeavors are.

605
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 4: You're you're not doing it for anyone. You have to

606
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 4: be so I guess obsessed with the craft to want

607
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,160
Speaker 4: to do it for yourself. I've always found my team

608
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 4: is more so you know, my family, other people that

609
00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 4: have helped me in my journey. Like that's the kind

610
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 4: of weight that I ride with. Is. I'm doing it

611
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,679
Speaker 4: because it wouldn't be satisfying enough for me if I

612
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 4: was just up there with my own intent every week

613
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 4: to just do it for myself. I think my team

614
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 4: is I want to do well for them. But yeah,

615
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 4: you're right, there is. It's a little bit more like

616
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 4: a tennis player rather than a football team for sure.

617
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 2: M Yeah, that's interesting.

618
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,159
Speaker 1: Well, I mean you get to travel all over to

619
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: the world to train in different places.

620
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 2: What is there anywhere you prefer never to go back to?

621
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 4: Uh? We did World Championships in Georgia a couple of

622
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 4: years ago.

623
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 2: Georgia the country the country?

624
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, the country in Georgia. I forget the

625
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 4: name of the mountain. We were very far from anywhere

626
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 4: more so it's actually the country was cool, but this

627
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 4: where we were, the weather conditions it was out there,

628
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 4: so probably there.

629
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: I think Georgia is the country where I saw that

630
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 1: video that viral one year with like the gondola where

631
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: the gondola chairs were put on backwards and then they

632
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: started turning. They they've flipped it and reversed it, and

633
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: then people were just flying off of the gondola because

634
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 1: it was coming around like sixteen kilometers an hour.

635
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 4: It was like flippingly sounds like sounds like something I

636
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,479
Speaker 4: would have seen when I was there, So it probably was.

637
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, tell us about your documentary. I want to hear

638
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 2: about that.

639
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was. It's been really fun. I mean, as

640
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 4: the we made the documentary called pipe Dream and came

641
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 4: out on Netflix and December nineteen, so it's still early

642
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 4: days fun, which is yeah, it has been awesome, and yeah,

643
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 4: I think overall it's obviously incredibly rewarding to have been

644
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 4: able to go on such an amazing platform for myself,

645
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 4: but also just for snowbarding. Is really exciting just to

646
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 4: get more people, hopefully more viewers and eyes and everyone

647
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 4: engaged in and what we're doing here in the mountains.

648
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 4: And it was a pretty emotional like process getting it

649
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 4: all together and obviously hearing from my family and other

650
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 4: peers and hearing from other you know, snowboarding competitors present

651
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 4: in the past, and so it's quite cool to hear

652
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 4: a lot of people's perspective which I actually haven't heard before.

653
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 4: So yeah, it was a rewarding process, long process, but

654
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 4: really really cool. And I've never told my story like

655
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 4: that before, which was which was fun to do.

656
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't wait to see it.

657
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: That's that's that must be really interesting to see all

658
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: these people talk about you, because I think in life,

659
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: you know, we talk about this a lot on this podcast,

660
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 1: like you don't really have time necessarily to reflect on

661
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: things like especially when you're going, like you're an athlete,

662
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 1: like you're training all year long.

663
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 2: Literally what you have like a month off a year

664
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 2: or something? Is that right? A month off?

665
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, it's probably say three months because you go

666
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 4: Northern Hemisphere season which starts in October, goes through to

667
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 4: April week of May, then you have June off, then

668
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 4: you you know, then the Southern Hemisphere win to start,

669
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 4: so you're kind of obviously is always constantly chasing winter,

670
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 4: so you get a few months off a year.

671
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: Okay, So if you had to describe before we move

672
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: on to the next part of that, I just want

673
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 1: to I want to know what you when you are

674
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: starting and you're competing, and you're listening to music to

675
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: get ready once it starts. What is in your head

676
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: if you fall behind by a fraction of a second

677
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 1: or you don't hit the same there's something that you

678
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 1: want to hit. What do you say to yourself in

679
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 1: that moment when something doesn't land like it's supposed to

680
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: land one hundred percent?

681
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 4: Honestly, I reflect on in that exact moment, I'd just say,

682
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 4: fuck it, let's just go get it done, because you

683
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 4: can spend so much time thinking about, Oh, I should

684
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 4: have done this better, did I prepare well enough? What's

685
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 4: he going to do? You know, everyone's watching, everyone's expecting.

686
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 4: It's like, that's what I do. I just say effort,

687
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 4: And I think there is this really amazing piece in

688
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 4: being able to say that confidently, because that's like the

689
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 4: best part about what I do is when you can

690
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 4: drop in and just be so present in the moment

691
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 4: with every trick and enjoying the environment. That's what That's

692
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 4: what I try and focus on. It would be in

693
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 4: the case. I'm sure it's similar for you. If you're

694
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 4: going out for a big gig or doing stand up,

695
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 4: it's like, you've prepared so much, you have ten more seconds.

696
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 4: What else can you do other than just be like, like,

697
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 4: let's just get after it and see how we go

698
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 4: and if things happen, it happens, and you're going to

699
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 4: learn from it. And that's what I do. Embrace that

700
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 4: a lot. I think that, you know, you do spend

701
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 4: a lot of time preparing, and you can become way

702
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 4: too meticulous and overthinking and over over everything that you

703
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 4: end up actually giving yourself. You have no satisfaction because

704
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 4: you're like, well, what was all the work for if

705
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 4: I can't just embrace the moment?

706
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 1: So I do focus on that, yeah, yeah, And do

707
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: you find that that's different now as you've gotten older,

708
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: that you're more in the present moment than you were

709
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: when you were competing as a younger person.

710
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 4: Definitely, one hundred percent, I think naturally, you know, still young,

711
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 4: but going through you know time when you're younger, you

712
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 4: do spend and waste so much time thinking about things

713
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 4: that just do not matter at all, whether that's on

714
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 4: the mountain or off the mountain. You know, I did that,

715
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 4: went through that, whereas now I'm very much yeah, very present,

716
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 4: you know, I know what I want to accomplish. I

717
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 4: know who I am as a person. My two feet

718
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 4: are on the ground, and I do lean into that.

719
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 1: Like if you had one weakness that you would that

720
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: you would like to work on, or that you were

721
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: working on, what would that be.

722
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 4: It's a good question. I My weakness would probably.

723
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 2: Be besides being a snowboarder.

724
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 4: Besides being a snowboater, it would be, to be honest,

725
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 4: It's still it's funny like even after having found such

726
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 4: a groove in you know, maybe whatever you do find

727
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 4: success as in my case, being able to compete really

728
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 4: well and do well in advance, is still belief. Like you,

729
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 4: I still have moments where you know you prepare so

730
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 4: well and you're like, all I have to do is

731
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:17,879
Speaker 4: show up and put my best foot forward and land

732
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 4: a really amazing run and it all you know, it'll

733
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,959
Speaker 4: go my way where well enough and in tune enough

734
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:24,839
Speaker 4: that we know when we have the tools to win.

735
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 4: If you don't, you know where you're kind of at.

736
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 4: And I still sometimes I battle with that belief of

737
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 4: can I actually realize now what I'm trying to accomplish

738
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 4: and have I taken the right steps to get there?

739
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 4: So I would say that that's something that I continue

740
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:46,760
Speaker 4: to work on. But because as much as I still

741
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 4: I am working on, I also think it's kind of

742
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 4: my blessing because then I don't take advantage of any

743
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 4: day every opportunity is an opportunity. I try and squeeze

744
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 4: every opportunity that I can training, And maybe that's that

745
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 4: lack of belief that it makes me go overboard in

746
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 4: term with my preparation my training. So I don't know,

747
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 4: it's probably whether it's a weakness or maybe it could

748
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 4: might not be, but that would be right, Yeah.

749
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 1: I mean circling back to this subject or the like

750
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 1: the topic of reflection, like I always think, you know,

751
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 1: if there's something big, high stakes in my life which

752
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: is obviously very different than yours, but like I always think, okay,

753
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: think about all the things that led to you being here, Like,

754
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: think about all of where you came from. So like

755
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,280
Speaker 1: when I talk about reflection, like I know, as an athlete,

756
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 1: you're you know, you're moving so fast, you're training so much,

757
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 1: you have limited time off or limited off season, and

758
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,360
Speaker 1: it's like you you really have to take note of

759
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 1: where you began and where you've come, how far you've

760
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: come you know, as a reminder for anyone really in

761
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 1: any situation, it's like, oh, I'm the one who got

762
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 1: myself all the way here, obviously with help of coaches

763
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 1: and support from your family, et cetera, but to and

764
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 1: your wife, but also.

765
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 2: To really remember, like how you know how far you've come?

766
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely. And I think that the one I always

767
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 4: sit on a lot is the courage. I think everyone

768
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 4: we all have passions, we all have something that we

769
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 4: want to realize in our lives. And I feel very

770
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 4: fortunate that I'm one of the ones that was had

771
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 4: the courage to actually continue and go for it, particularly

772
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:20,799
Speaker 4: with you know, the setbacks that you have when you're young.

773
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 4: And I think that's across a lot of people always

774
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 4: ask me like, oh, who do you look up to?

775
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 4: Who do you know admire in your life? And to

776
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 4: be honest, I don't have one person. It's always people

777
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 4: that I look at and I hear their story and

778
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 4: I hear about their adversity and their courage who actually

779
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 4: pursue what they want to do in their life. And

780
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 4: that's hard. So I do focus on that too. Is

781
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 4: the courage. Takes a lot of courage to actually commit

782
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,879
Speaker 4: to your passion in life. And I've done that, which

783
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 4: has been rewarding and fortunately worked out. But yeah, yeah.

784
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 2: People always say that to me. Who do you look

785
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 2: up to?

786
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 4: Like?

787
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:57,840
Speaker 2: Who is your favorite?

788
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 1: I was like, well, Bill Cosby, but that didn't really

789
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: work out for me, So I have to stop mentioning it.

790
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 2: That's not it's not a hero anymore.

791
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 1: Anyway, We're gonna take a break and we're gonna be

792
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 1: right back with Scottie James. Okay, And we're back with

793
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:15,320
Speaker 1: Scotty James.

794
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:15,800
Speaker 2: Okay.

795
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 1: Scotty James is on his way to the Olympics. So

796
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 1: and this is not his first time at the Olympics.

797
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:21,760
Speaker 1: This is your fifth time.

798
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 2: At the Olympics.

799
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 4: Fifth Yes, vintage.

800
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, vintage, fifth time, my gosh. Okay, So we now

801
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:30,240
Speaker 1: we take questions from caller Scotty.

802
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 2: Are you ready?

803
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: I'm ready, You seem ready, You seem ready, yes, Catherine, what.

804
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 2: Do we got?

805
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 5: All? Right?

806
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 3: Well, we're gonna start with a couple skiing snowboarding questions,

807
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 3: but then move on to some interpersonal, juicy stuff.

808
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 1: So then we're gonna move on to some guynecology questions

809
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 1: just to keep you comfortable exactly right in your Wheelhouse.

810
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:49,799
Speaker 3: So we're gonna start with a brand news segment, which

811
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,360
Speaker 3: is our one drink question. And this is just a

812
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 3: little quickie. So our listener says, Dear Chelsea, this is

813
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 3: not an incredibly deep question.

814
00:37:58,280 --> 00:37:59,280
Speaker 2: It is about skiing.

815
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 3: I grew up snowboarding and decided I wanted to switch

816
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 3: to skiing after college. For longevity purposes. I visualize a

817
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 3: fifty year old version of myself who is a badass

818
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 3: gear and spends a third of my year and tell

819
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 3: you're ride.

820
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:12,320
Speaker 2: Here are my questions.

821
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 3: One what age did you start spending serious time skiing?

822
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 2: Do you think thirty one is too late now?

823
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 4: Two?

824
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 3: How long did it take you to feel confident on blacks?

825
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 3: With age, my fearlessness has faded and I'm frustrated with

826
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,879
Speaker 3: how much hesitation I have going down the mountain. How

827
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 3: many lessons did you have before you felt really capable

828
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 3: and confident to handle all terrain?

829
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 2: Great questions. I love it. First of all, I didn't

830
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 2: start getting.

831
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:39,880
Speaker 1: Into skiing like seriously, seriously until I was like thirty nine.

832
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I skied for in my thirties, but I

833
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 1: didn't start like taking like actual private instruction which are

834
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:47,360
Speaker 1: pretty expensive.

835
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 2: So if you can afford that, great, But.

836
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:53,919
Speaker 1: If not, your fearlessness gets replaced by competency. I would say,

837
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 1: you know, what you lose in fearlessness, you gain incompetency

838
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 1: and capability. So the more time you spend and on

839
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 1: the mountain, and the more runs you do in bad conditions,

840
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 1: in good conditions, in powder and groomers, all of it,

841
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 1: you become a better skier. And I like, I'm a

842
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 1: really good skier now. I could ski down pretty much anything.

843
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 1: My friends took me down something like two days ago

844
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,839
Speaker 1: that I was like, if I had done that ten

845
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 1: years ago, I would never have taken I would never

846
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 1: have made it right. I would have been like, no way,

847
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 1: So that would have felt really good. But you know,

848
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 1: thirty one, Yeah, you're down. You could do whatever it takes,

849
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 1: like I think it takes a good one hundred days

850
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 1: on a mount but you want to get instruction from

851
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: someone who knows what they're doing so you don't create

852
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:38,320
Speaker 1: really bad habits and then beat up your body, right Scotty.

853
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 4: Whoever asked the question lost me it. I transferred to skiing.

854
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 1: So my comment, first of all, and also to our

855
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,959
Speaker 1: writer in you're doing the right thing by leaving snowboarding

856
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 1: and transferring to skiing. Scotty and I are from two

857
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 1: different schools of thought obviously, and I support you one

858
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: hundred percent.

859
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 2: And that's it. Problem solved, all right? It cheers.

860
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 4: Is that our one trick? Yes, Scotty and I can

861
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 4: confirm Chelsea is actually looking at potentially you told me

862
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 4: earlier you're looking at doing some instructing at a local resort.

863
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 4: So maybe, right, maybe you could take that on.

864
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:17,399
Speaker 2: I got to get my level ones first. I gotta

865
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 2: get my level three and four.

866
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:19,439
Speaker 4: Yeah.

867
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 1: Double blacks, Yeah, it takes a while to get down there.

868
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:23,800
Speaker 1: But by the way, once you get good at skiing

869
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 1: and double black you don't even look at whether it's

870
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,840
Speaker 1: black or blue or it doesn't matter. You're fine.

871
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 4: It's true now that to second you, you're right. I

872
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 4: think the more consistency you have and the more often

873
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 4: you do it and your curiosity is the way you

874
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,399
Speaker 4: will win. So go for it. But you should stand

875
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 4: on board.

876
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 2: Yeah all right.

877
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 3: Well, our first caller today is Jess, and she is

878
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:53,319
Speaker 3: calling in from Vancouver. So she says, dear Chelsea, I've

879
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:56,319
Speaker 3: fallen up. This is another skiing question, but it will

880
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 3: make sense to you, Scottie. So I've fallen out of

881
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:02,720
Speaker 3: love with skiing. Growing up, some of my best memories

882
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 3: were spent on the slopes, and I chose a grad

883
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 3: school partly based on proximity to a hill. Post COVID,

884
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,320
Speaker 3: I took a break from my studies and moved to Queenstown,

885
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 3: New Zealand to work on the ski field. I got

886
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 3: paid to ski every day and loved it. Wanting to improve,

887
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,799
Speaker 3: I signed up for a ski instructor exam. I really

888
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 3: enjoyed developing my technique, and Chelsea, I too, ended up

889
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 3: sleeping with my ski instructor.

890
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:24,320
Speaker 2: We're now married.

891
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 3: My husband is a highly skilled now sports professional and

892
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,720
Speaker 3: skiing is central to his world. But within that world

893
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 3: I often don't feel welcome. When we're with his friends,

894
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 3: conversation revolves almost exclusively around ski technique and criticism of

895
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 3: the industry, and I largely feel excluded. Being surrounded by

896
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:45,240
Speaker 3: constant evaluation has made me wonder what he thinks about

897
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 3: my skiing, what his peers think too. It's such a

898
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 3: visible sport, and I've seen the ego driven underside of it.

899
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 3: Over time, I've come to associate skiing with feeling inferior

900
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:56,839
Speaker 3: when my husband and I do ski together, the days

901
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 3: have slowly morphed into being about filming him for YouTube

902
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,879
Speaker 3: and marketing his way business. I've become the cliche. I've

903
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:06,880
Speaker 3: become the cliche Instagram girlfriend. We moved to BC a

904
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 3: couple of years ago and have incredible skiing available to us.

905
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 3: We've had conversations about this, but I find myself sabotaging

906
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 3: ski days by offering just a film without being asked,

907
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:18,240
Speaker 3: just to avoid skiing myself.

908
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:21,360
Speaker 2: Honestly, I'd rather be in the lodge with a margarita. Chelsea.

909
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 3: How can I build my ski self esteem and fall

910
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 3: back in love with the mountains again?

911
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 2: Thanks so much, Jess.

912
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 1: Well, Jess, it feels like you got to find a

913
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 1: group of like women to ski with so that you

914
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 1: don't feel like that you got a new I mean,

915
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 1: it doesn't even have to be women. It just has

916
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,880
Speaker 1: to be people that aren't that judgy or so psychotically

917
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 1: talking about skiing all the time.

918
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:40,879
Speaker 2: That's not fun either.

919
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,240
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to talk about technique all the time unless

920
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 1: you're Scotty and you're on your way to the Olympics

921
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 1: and that's all you have.

922
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 2: To talk about.

923
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 4: Even I don't do that, I promise.

924
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, actually go back and tell them Scotty James doesn't

925
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 1: even talk about it as much as you guys do,

926
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 1: and he's competing in the Olympics.

927
00:42:57,040 --> 00:43:00,319
Speaker 5: Yeah. When I was in New Zealand, we had worked

928
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 5: in the industry a little bit and I found some

929
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:04,840
Speaker 5: group of women that were a little bit less intense

930
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 5: about it, so it was really fun. But I haven't

931
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 5: quite found that yere in BC and Canada. But yeah,

932
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:11,840
Speaker 5: I think that's a great idea.

933
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 2: But you know what, you could find ski groups online.

934
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:16,799
Speaker 1: You know there's like I'm in a ski group on Saturdays,

935
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 1: like Club Link at Whistler Black Home where I ski.

936
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 1: You know, we have a guy that just cuts the

937
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:23,360
Speaker 1: lines for us, you know when it's busy and like

938
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:23,880
Speaker 1: takes us.

939
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 2: It's fun. You can do that.

940
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 1: You can join and then Cyprus and Grouse are in Vancouver.

941
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 2: I mean that's so much fun night skiing. I love that.

942
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:34,359
Speaker 2: But yeah, I would just change the channel. Like, first

943
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 2: of all, stop.

944
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 1: Going and recording your boyfriend husband whatever he is, Like,

945
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 1: why what are.

946
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 2: You as assistant? I mean that's not fun for anyone.

947
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:47,400
Speaker 2: I mean, do you have children, No, not yet exactly but.

948
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 1: That's why you shouldn't been filming anybody, because he's an

949
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 1: adult man. I mean, you know, Scotty, what do you

950
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 1: have to say to this anything?

951
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 4: I would say. Firstly, you welcome over to our side

952
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 4: any day of the week. The snowboarding can get you

953
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:04,799
Speaker 4: some snowboards, yeah we can. We can bring you in.

954
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 4: It'll be a warm welcome. Secondly, it's actually really interesting.

955
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 4: My ears pricked up when you said that you sometimes

956
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 4: don't feel like you fit in into conversation. It doesn't

957
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 4: matter your level. I have that same feeling in my world.

958
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 4: Sometimes there's maybe a certain type of person or a

959
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:27,840
Speaker 4: certain type of you know, way that people perceive snowboarders

960
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 4: or skis in this case to be and if you

961
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:32,879
Speaker 4: don't fit that mold, you don't really feel like you're

962
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 4: a part of what they're doing. And it's you know,

963
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 4: even for me, I always got a bit insecure about that.

964
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:42,360
Speaker 4: But I think that the second that you realize, I

965
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 4: guess who you are and what you're doing and why

966
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 4: you're actually even out there. Like firstly, you're just wanting

967
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 4: to have fun, and that's what anyone should be up

968
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 4: there doing. If you're not pursuing it professionally, I think,

969
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 4: just find a bit of sanity and that you actually

970
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:58,400
Speaker 4: enjoy it. And if people start to have a go

971
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:01,720
Speaker 4: at you about not being on that level of knowledge,

972
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:05,439
Speaker 4: like he gives a shit, it doesn't matter, like at all.

973
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,719
Speaker 5: It is quite a made up sport, I suppose to,

974
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 5: you know, unless you're in a gate and you're trying

975
00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:13,319
Speaker 5: to get from A to B really quickly, or you're

976
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 5: being judged on specific criteria.

977
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 4: Is made up.

978
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:17,920
Speaker 5: So I do try to tell myself that, like, it

979
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 5: doesn't really matter what I look like. I'm still having

980
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,680
Speaker 5: fun and that's the point. But but yeah, there's definitely

981
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 5: a little bit of ego and I think that comparison

982
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:26,720
Speaker 5: that yeah.

983
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 2: But that's men. I mean that's why, like don't sky

984
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 2: with a group of men, Like that's just not fun.

985
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 2: You know, you have solution.

986
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like one exceptions.

987
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 1: Yeah there are Scott, You're seem like a really nice guy,

988
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 1: but again, you know, still a snowboarder, a world champion,

989
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 1: but a snowboarder nonetheless, So you just got to get

990
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 1: you got to change the channel and decide who you're

991
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 1: skiing with and just be honest with your partner and

992
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 1: be like, listen, it's not fun. I don't feel like

993
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:52,240
Speaker 1: I want to have fun on skis. I'm like losing

994
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 1: my love. Have you expressed that to him, by the way.

995
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:56,399
Speaker 6: Yeah, we've We've talked about it a bit.

996
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 5: I think the worst season was last season, just I

997
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 5: didn't actually get as day to ski to myself, But

998
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 5: he knows how I feel. The issue is that he's

999
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:08,400
Speaker 5: trying to make YouTube his business, and I'm kind of

1000
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 5: tied into that as well, right, Like, he doesn't really

1001
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 5: have anyone else to go out with him, so sometimes

1002
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 5: sometimes I kind of get pulled into that. But I

1003
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:19,880
Speaker 5: guess trying to make that boundary or draw that line.

1004
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:21,719
Speaker 2: A college student, find a college student to do that.

1005
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:23,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, that's a good idea.

1006
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 1: Great idea, And I wasn't going to say that, but

1007
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:26,799
Speaker 1: I was going to say, you can also do you know,

1008
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 1: you do something for him and then he does, you know,

1009
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 1: and then okay, in exchange for that, you get to

1010
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 1: go skiing alone, or you go skiing with a group

1011
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:35,800
Speaker 1: of people, or you go skiing and he's not allowed

1012
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:38,279
Speaker 1: to talk about skiing for the entire day. You know,

1013
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 1: like figure out what the compromise is while you're skiing.

1014
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:45,320
Speaker 2: He's you're not allowed to talk about skiing. Wall we're skiing.

1015
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 4: It's one margarite, I mean, come on, yeah, oh good negotiation.

1016
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:53,760
Speaker 1: What is your drink of choice on the mountain, Scotty,

1017
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 1: When you can have a drink when you are celebrating,

1018
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 1: what is it?

1019
00:46:56,880 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 4: Good question after like an event? Probably champagne.

1020
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:03,920
Speaker 1: Actually yeah, I mean that's because they're spraying it all

1021
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:05,320
Speaker 1: over you so readily available.

1022
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, I like.

1023
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 1: A moscow mule on the mountain, or I like a

1024
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:12,279
Speaker 1: stiff margarita because I like to have a margarita juice

1025
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:14,839
Speaker 1: boost at around eleven. If I go out around nine,

1026
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:17,280
Speaker 1: I like to stop, have a little margarita at eleventh,

1027
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:17,640
Speaker 1: and then.

1028
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:19,840
Speaker 2: Go back out and have a little more bravery.

1029
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 4: This is this is the Olympics of Skiing drinking knowledge

1030
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:23,760

00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:33,719
Speaker 2: So fun.

1037
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:36,759
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, oh good, Okay, well yeah, but don't

1038
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 1: lose your love, you know, if you love skiing, like

1039
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:41,280
Speaker 1: make sure you like you've got to like garden your passions,

1040
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, just like you have to

1041
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 1: like garden your relationship. You have to like make sure

1042
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:47,440
Speaker 1: you do what you want to do and enjoy something

1043
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 1: that you love that you like kind of got ruined

1044
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:50,879
Speaker 1: by somebody else.

1045
00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:53,359
Speaker 2: Like don't let that, don't let them take that away.

1046
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 1: You know, go and be like true to yourself and

1047
00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:57,959
Speaker 1: get back out there.

1048
00:47:58,400 --> 00:47:58,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1049
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 5: I think the idea of finding women to ski with

1050
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:01,279
Speaker 5: is a good one.

1051
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:04,279
Speaker 1: Yeahs always if you're a woman. I like, you know,

1052
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:06,920
Speaker 1: skiing with women. I like women guides every I'm like,

1053
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 1: if she could move her body like that, then I

1054
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 1: can move my body like that. You know, it's easier

1055
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:13,080
Speaker 1: sometimes with a woman when you are a woman.

1056
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's a good point. Okay, thanks to think about it.

1057
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 6: Thank you guys.

1058
00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:19,440
Speaker 2: Okay, great, thanks for going. Take care.

1059
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 6: Thanks.

1060
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:20,560
Speaker 2: Thanks.

1061
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 1: I would love to do and like a thing where

1062
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:25,879
Speaker 1: they had to with spectators had to compete drinking while

1063
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:29,399
Speaker 1: at the Olympics and then interviewing the athletes after who

1064
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:30,680
Speaker 1: could do that the best?

1065
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 2: And that would be me. I would now lose my shit.

1066
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 1: The more alcohol in my system, the more clarity I get.

1067
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 4: I mean, I think that's a fair pitch.

1068
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 2: I do too. Actually, I don't know why I'm not

1069
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 2: doing that. I don't know.

1070
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 1: They must have hired somebody else, somebody more reliable. Okay, Catherine,

1071
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 1: what else? What else do we got?

1072
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 5: Well?

1073
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:52,680
Speaker 3: Our next caller is Rebecca. She says, you're Chelsea. I

1074
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 3: am a forty two year old who moved to a

1075
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 3: Greek island on my own just over a year ago.

1076
00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 3: After nannying and waiting tables my whole life, I decided

1077
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 3: it was time to live my dream and stop waiting

1078
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 3: for my person for my life to begin. So I

1079
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 3: use my savings to do the Golden Visa and buy

1080
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 3: property in Greece, while giving myself a few years to

1081
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:12,759
Speaker 3: really give my all to my business and gain clients.

1082
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:14,719
Speaker 3: I know it will take some time to support this

1083
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:17,960
Speaker 3: life financially. With a savvy budget, I can support myself

1084
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:20,440
Speaker 3: with savings for another year until my business picks up,

1085
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 3: or I have to go back to the US and

1086
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 3: find another nanny job. Recently, I got on a dating

1087
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:28,560
Speaker 3: app and found a really great guy who's also an expat.

1088
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:31,880
Speaker 3: Our relationship is quite new, but we're very compatible and

1089
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 3: we're falling fast for each other. He's in a very

1090
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:38,800
Speaker 3: different financial situation. He recently retired. He's in his fifties,

1091
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:41,960
Speaker 3: with plenty of money, and is constantly taking lavish vacations

1092
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 3: all over the world. At first, it sounds amazing, right,

1093
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:46,799
Speaker 3: But when I really think about it, I'm not in

1094
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:49,919
Speaker 3: a position to actually join him on these vacations. Even

1095
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:51,879
Speaker 3: though I can work from anywhere. Just paying for one

1096
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:53,920
Speaker 3: splurgey meal on a trip would cost the same as

1097
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:56,759
Speaker 3: my budget for two weeks here. So my question is

1098
00:49:57,080 --> 00:49:59,880
Speaker 3: how and when do I approach this money conversation. I

1099
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:02,880
Speaker 3: just turned down trips with him. He's currently angling for

1100
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:05,560
Speaker 3: a getaway to the Maldives. We're only six weeks in,

1101
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 3: so is it too soon to talk finances?

1102
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 2: Rebecca Well, I mean, hi, Rebecca, how are you?

1103
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:12,279
Speaker 5: Hi?

1104
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:13,480
Speaker 2: Hi?

1105
00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:16,160
Speaker 1: This is our special guest, Scottie James. He's heading to

1106
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:19,440
Speaker 1: the Olympics. He's the best snowboarder of all time. So

1107
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 1: you came to the right place because he's got lots

1108
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:22,520
Speaker 1: of answers for you.

1109
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:25,279
Speaker 2: Has it come up yet? Have you guys been on

1110
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:25,840
Speaker 2: a vacation?

1111
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 1: I mean, usually the person that wants to go on

1112
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 1: the vacation that badly is happy to pay for it,

1113
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:33,799
Speaker 1: but have have you guys been on a vacation like

1114
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:35,879
Speaker 1: that together, like a nice vacation.

1115
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:39,279
Speaker 7: Yet Yeah, we went to Vienna for New Year's He

1116
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:41,040
Speaker 7: paid for most of it, but I had to pay

1117
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:44,120
Speaker 7: for my plane ticket, which wasn't that much, but it's

1118
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:46,759
Speaker 7: still significant for me. So I just kind of have

1119
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 7: to measure, like how many times can I do that.

1120
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:51,359
Speaker 7: We're going to Santorini in a couple weeks, and again

1121
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:53,480
Speaker 7: he's paying for the trip, but I'm paying for my

1122
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 7: plane ticket, and so yeah, it's you know, I'm not

1123
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:00,160
Speaker 7: really sure how to I'm not great at time talking

1124
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 7: about it yet, and I'm not sure because it's so new,

1125
00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:04,319
Speaker 7: what the best way to do it is.

1126
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I don't think for Yeah, I know it's

1127
00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:09,160
Speaker 1: not a sexy conversation to talk about finances, especially when

1128
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:11,600
Speaker 1: they're like you're strapped for them, But I think you

1129
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 1: should just have a very honest conversation and just let

1130
00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 1: him know, like what your situation is. Be like, I'm sorry,

1131
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:19,839
Speaker 1: I'm not as established like these vacations really, Like even

1132
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:21,520
Speaker 1: the plane ticket is a lot for me, that's like

1133
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 1: my budget for however, I mean, plane tickets are fairly

1134
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:26,400
Speaker 1: if you're in Greece and you're going to Santorini.

1135
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:28,279
Speaker 2: Obviously that's a little bit more affordable.

1136
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:31,279
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, that's true. That's true.

1137
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:35,360
Speaker 7: It's more that they that they add up and yeah,

1138
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:37,799
Speaker 7: and also just things like this summer, I don't like

1139
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:40,440
Speaker 7: to be here for August because it's too hot and

1140
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:42,960
Speaker 7: too crowded. So like, if I were single, I would

1141
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:45,800
Speaker 7: be looking for a house swap or looking to house

1142
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:47,839
Speaker 7: it like something free that I could do.

1143
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:49,080
Speaker 6: Like, he keeps talking.

1144
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:51,280
Speaker 7: About going to the Maldives, and he keeps like hinting,

1145
00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 7: like do you want to come or not? He has

1146
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:55,400
Speaker 7: actually directly said that, but he said, like, do you

1147
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:56,279
Speaker 7: like the Maldives?

1148
00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:58,080
Speaker 6: Do you think you'd ever want to come? So it's

1149
00:51:58,080 --> 00:51:59,360
Speaker 6: like we're not quite there.

1150
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:02,000
Speaker 7: Yet to like plan that, But then I need to

1151
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:05,480
Speaker 7: also be planning my my life just in case we

1152
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:05,960
Speaker 7: don't go.

1153
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:08,800
Speaker 1: But I think you should enter this card, Listen, Scott,

1154
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:10,759
Speaker 1: he's married to an heiress, so he's in the same

1155
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:18,960
Speaker 1: boat basically as you are. Okay, but I think you

1156
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:21,760
Speaker 1: should just bring a lightness to this conversation and be like, Listen,

1157
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:24,480
Speaker 1: I am excited about all of this potential, and I

1158
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:26,480
Speaker 1: know we're very new but I just really.

1159
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:27,400
Speaker 2: Want to be transparent.

1160
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:30,399
Speaker 1: This should be like an in person conversation about where

1161
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 1: you are financially, what your plan is. Like everything you

1162
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 1: just mentioned in your letter is worthwhile knowledge. Like you

1163
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:37,759
Speaker 1: move to Greece, you have a year to set up

1164
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:39,960
Speaker 1: your business, you know, or before you have to go

1165
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:41,920
Speaker 1: back to the States, which you definitely don't want to

1166
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:44,560
Speaker 1: do right now. So you, like, you know, just be

1167
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:48,279
Speaker 1: very transparent without asking or expecting, you know what I mean,

1168
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 1: just saying like I want to figure this out together,

1169
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:53,520
Speaker 1: and I don't expect you to pay for everything. I

1170
00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:56,200
Speaker 1: want to contribute, So what's the best way I can

1171
00:52:56,239 --> 00:52:58,120
Speaker 1: do that. Maybe there's a different way that you can

1172
00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 1: contribute that isn't fiduciary, you.

1173
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:03,400
Speaker 2: Know, like, well maybe you can, you know, I don't know.

1174
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:05,560
Speaker 1: Maybe you can be involved in the planning more, or

1175
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:07,319
Speaker 1: you could pick up the restaurants or do some more

1176
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:09,880
Speaker 1: of the legwork, you know, figure out a way to

1177
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 1: contribute if he's cool with it. But I think you

1178
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:15,439
Speaker 1: should just you know, don't make it dire, just say hey,

1179
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 1: I want to just start talking about this. I know

1180
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:19,799
Speaker 1: it's not a sexy conversation, but I want to be transparent,

1181
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:22,600
Speaker 1: and I don't want to like take advantage of this situation,

1182
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:24,480
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, just be very honest. I

1183
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:26,719
Speaker 1: think that gets the ball rolling in the right kind

1184
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:31,439
Speaker 1: of candor and transparency. Especially at the beginning of a relationship.

1185
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:33,400
Speaker 1: It's important to say those things.

1186
00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:35,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, Yeah, that's really helpful.

1187
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:39,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then also giving him the option of, like,

1188
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:41,160
Speaker 3: if it doesn't work for you know, you to spring

1189
00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:43,239
Speaker 3: for the vacation, like I'm totally cool to do a

1190
00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:44,920
Speaker 3: house swap, and like I'll see in a month.

1191
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:46,160
Speaker 2: When you get back from the Mamaldi's.

1192
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:48,759
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, threaten him.

1193
00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:53,200
Speaker 2: Who knows who I might meet that time? Yeah, who

1194
00:53:53,239 --> 00:53:55,960
Speaker 2: knows well to meet while you go to the Maldives.

1195
00:53:58,040 --> 00:53:58,680
Speaker 2: That always.

1196
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:04,520
Speaker 4: Congrats on having the courage to move to try something different.

1197
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:06,800
Speaker 4: I think that I think that takes a lot of carage.

1198
00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:08,040
Speaker 4: So respect for doing that.

1199
00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:10,200
Speaker 2: Oh thank you. Yeah, it does.

1200
00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:12,239
Speaker 1: It does to get up and move to someplace where

1201
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:15,120
Speaker 1: you don't know anyone and so far away, Like I

1202
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:17,880
Speaker 1: love that move and I think you'll you'll get rewarded.

1203
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:20,920
Speaker 1: I mean, there's Greece is always always a good place

1204
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:21,160
Speaker 1: to be.

1205
00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:24,080

00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:29,759
Speaker 2: We like follow up calls.

1209
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:34,840
Speaker 6: Okay, awesome, Yeah, thank you so much, Thanks Rebecca. Okay, bye,

1210
00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 6: bye bye.

1211
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:37,920
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a quick break and we're gonna be

1212
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:41,880
Speaker 1: right back to wrap up with Scotty James.

1213
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:45,760
Speaker 2: And we're back with Scotty James.

1214
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:47,520
Speaker 1: Scotty, do you spend a lot of time on the

1215
00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:49,359
Speaker 1: mountain when you're not like, do you spend any time

1216
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:51,040
Speaker 1: on the mountain when you're not training?

1217
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:55,719
Speaker 4: Yeah? I would say when my family's around, yes, Like

1218
00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:59,120
Speaker 4: my dad loves snowboarding, so he's always keen to be

1219
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:02,279
Speaker 4: on the hill. He's the guy that's up at the

1220
00:55:02,320 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 4: lift line first and waiting for the chairlift to open.

1221
00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:08,200
Speaker 4: So I definitely when he's around, I'm up there just

1222
00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:11,359
Speaker 4: for fun and to go cruise around. But to be honest,

1223
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:13,799
Speaker 4: during a competition week, I'm not on the hill too

1224
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:16,480
Speaker 4: much other than competing and training.

1225
00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:18,400
Speaker 2: What is your meal right before you compete?

1226
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:24,000
Speaker 4: I love spaghetti bolonnes. Yeah, I just I mean probably

1227
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:26,160
Speaker 4: the night before, because if I had it right before

1228
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:28,279
Speaker 4: I compete might be a little on the heavy side.

1229
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:33,399
Speaker 4: I'm already heavy as I explained earlier. So throwing around

1230
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:36,560
Speaker 4: spaghetti bolonnies in my stomach doing flips is not a

1231
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:40,719
Speaker 4: great outcome, but yeah, probably that I would say.

1232
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:43,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's nice to have to eat spaghetti bolonniers for

1233
00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:46,799
Speaker 1: your profession, since you need to carbload and you need

1234
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:48,120
Speaker 1: to get your body stored up.

1235
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:50,360
Speaker 2: It's nice to have that kind of responsibility.

1236
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:52,480
Speaker 4: True, Yeah, this is true.

1237
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:55,120
Speaker 2: And will your family Your family's going to be at

1238
00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 2: the Olympics.

1239
00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:58,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, so the fan will be there, which will

1240
00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:01,520
