in cleaning fees, but I think it's worth it. I
think so too, so for everyone that's just listening to us.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Basically, what we're pointing out is we've rented this cozy
little cabin because today is a huge day. We've got
some incredible guests to talk winter sports with us, and
we don't really know too much about winter sports, which
means that we're not super qualified to host a podcast
about them. But you know what the thing is, anyone
can be anything these days if you dream big enough.
(11:38):
And so what we've done is we've dreamed up a
situation where we're going to work in some of our
favorite people ever and they're going to come and they're
gonna talk to us. And like I said, we're in
this cozy little winter cabin and.
Speaker 1 (11:52):

winter sports. Maybe it's our gorgeous new Mariacle King the Count.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
Yes, I know, and you brag about it all the time.
Speaker 8 (12:30):
I don't know if I brag. I'm not bragged doors
just at all. I just love to count. Everyone does
call me the count. I count one count.
Speaker 6 (12:38):
But you know why they call me the count?
Speaker 8 (12:40):
Why they call me the count because I love to
count things?
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Yes, like, for example, how many coffee cups are on
the table right now?
Speaker 6 (12:50):
Well it is an easy one, met there are one, two, three?
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Why should you do that in person? Is crazy? Like
watching the count count? I feel like I'm watching Lady
Gaga sing.
Speaker 8 (13:02):
Really yes, I mean it's just counting numbers. You you
you give it a try. Let's try it here? Will
count all together?
Speaker 1 (13:10):
One? Two, three, three.

All together?
Speaker 1 (13:18):
What can we say? It's true? Now?
Speaker 8 (13:20):
What that was daylighting in de Tunber?
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Oh okay, right, I forgot that happens. We've always wanted
to know count. What is your favorite number?
Speaker 8 (13:28):
Well, I did not know this was going to be
such a hard hitting podcast. But that isn't an easy
one depending on the day, because it changes every day,
it changes. But today you already said that actually it
is three three today. Three is my favorite number. And
did you know that this year's games? Three is the
(13:51):
number of times that Italy will have hosted the Olympic
Winter Games.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
I didn't know that at all.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
And three is also the number of medals they give
out for each of them.
Speaker 6 (14:01):
Sim wow, that's fantastic. You know.
Speaker 8 (14:04):
I would like to test both of you your knowledge
of the twenty twenty six Winter Olympics. I have a
little quiz for you. Are you ready?
Speaker 1 (14:14):
We're ready, We're ready, We're ready to be tested. Count Yes,
I have a quiz for you. All right, let's go

counting in them? Are you just naming numbers?
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Now?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Speak, we're just speaking. I've met all of them in person. Seven.
I'm going to guess fifteen thousand? WHOA?
Speaker 6 (14:52):
We got a wide range.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
There, yeah, well that's how you cover the most ground.
So something in the middle there is right, I just
know it.
Speaker 6 (14:58):
Well, you're both wrong. Oh that's all right though, that's
all right.
Speaker 8 (15:02):

Speaker 8 (15:14):
And the next question, what is the perfect number of
mini marshmallows in a cup of hot coco as you
watch the snowboarding and skiing competition?
Speaker 1 (15:25):
This feels subjective, This feels very subtractive.
Speaker 6 (15:27):
It is very subjective, But there is a correct answer.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Interesting, I'm just gonna go with three because you said
that's your favorite number today. You know, I'm gonna say,
I like my hot coco, maybe just two liquid ounces,
and then the rest of the monk is just a
pile of mini marshmallows.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
So I'm going to say eighty five.
Speaker 6 (15:47):
Eighty five. I like this.
Speaker 8 (15:48):
I like the way that you think. But the correct
answer is actually twelve.
Speaker 1 (15:53):

I really do not know what means right, It is
just like a big word that I talkt would impress you.

know much.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
Oh goodness, there's so much to teach you, Elmo. Who's Bob?
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Bob is the person who slugs who sleds? But he
didn't want to call it Robert sledding.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
Well, that's very formal, of course.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (05:39):
Do you own the last name a monster?

in cleaning fees, but I think it's worth it. I
think so too, so for everyone that's just listening to us.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Basically, what we're pointing out is we've rented this cozy
little cabin because today is a huge day. We've got
some incredible guests to talk winter sports with us, and
we don't really know too much about winter sports, which
means that we're not super qualified to host a podcast
about them. But you know what the thing is, anyone
can be anything these days if you dream big enough.
(11:38):
And so what we've done is we've dreamed up a
situation where we're going to work in some of our
favorite people ever and they're going to come and they're
gonna talk to us. And like I said, we're in
this cozy little winter cabin and.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I'm really excited about.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Our guests because they are pros when it comes to
winter sports. Maybe it's our gorgeous new Mariacle King the Count.

The Great Things matten Baum, and it is so vulnerful
to be here. Wow, look at the size of that

guff just because you came from your big castle.
Speaker 6 (12:25):
All right, that is, well that's where I live.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Yes, I know, and you brag about it all the time.
Speaker 8 (12:30):
I don't know if I brag. I'm not bragged doors
just at all. I just love to count. Everyone does
call me the count. I count one count.
Speaker 6 (12:38):
But you know why they call me the count?
Speaker 8 (12:40):
Why they call me the count because I love to
count things?
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Yes, like, for example, how many coffee cups are on
the table right now?
Speaker 6 (12:50):
Well it is an easy one, met there are one, two, three?
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Why should you do that in person? Is crazy? Like
watching the count count? I feel like I'm watching Lady
Gaga sing.
Speaker 8 (13:02):
Really yes, I mean it's just counting numbers. You you
you give it a try. Let's try it here? Will
count all together?
Speaker 1 (13:10):
One? Two, three, three.
Speaker 6 (13:14):
All together?
Speaker 1 (13:18):
What can we say? It's true? Now?
Speaker 8 (13:20):
What that was daylighting in de Tunber?
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Oh okay, right, I forgot that happens. We've always wanted
to know count. What is your favorite number?
Speaker 8 (13:28):
Well, I did not know this was going to be
such a hard hitting podcast. But that isn't an easy
one depending on the day, because it changes every day,
it changes. But today you already said that actually it
is three three today. Three is my favorite number. And
did you know that this year's games? Three is the
(13:51):
number of times that Italy will have hosted the Olympic
Winter Games.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
I didn't know that at all.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
And three is also the number of medals they give
out for each of them.
Speaker 6 (14:01):
Sim wow, that's fantastic. You know.
Speaker 8 (14:04):
I would like to test both of you your knowledge
of the twenty twenty six Winter Olympics. I have a
little quiz for you. Are you ready?
Speaker 1 (14:14):
We're ready, We're ready, We're ready to be tested. Count Yes,
I have a quiz for you. All right, let's go

Speaker 8 (14:23):
How many athletes are competing in the Olympic Winter and
the Paralympic Games?
Speaker 5 (14:29):

Speaker 8 (14:37):
Are we going to be here? Why are you actually
counting in them? Are you just naming numbers?
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Now?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Speak, we're just speaking. I've met all of them in person. Seven.
I'm going to guess fifteen thousand? WHOA?
Speaker 6 (14:52):
We got a wide range.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
There, yeah, well that's how you cover the most ground.
So something in the middle there is right, I just
know it.
Speaker 6 (14:58):
Well, you're both wrong. Oh that's all right though, that's
all right.
Speaker 8 (15:02):
The correct answer is three thousand, five hundred.

Wow, it feels right.
Speaker 6 (15:07):
Yes, yes, all right? Are you ready?
Speaker 8 (15:09):
You know there are ninety three nations that are participating.

Speaker 8 (15:14):
And the next question, what is the perfect number of
mini marshmallows in a cup of hot coco as you
watch the snowboarding and skiing competition?
Speaker 1 (15:25):
This feels subjective, This feels very subtractive.
Speaker 6 (15:27):
It is very subjective, But there is a correct answer.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Interesting, I'm just gonna go with three because you said
that's your favorite number today. You know, I'm gonna say,
I like my hot coco, maybe just two liquid ounces,
and then the rest of the monk is just a
pile of mini marshmallows.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
So I'm going to say eighty five.
Speaker 6 (15:47):
Eighty five. I like this.
Speaker 8 (15:48):
I like the way that you think. But the correct
answer is actually twelve.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Oh, yes, is that how many you have in yours?
Speaker 6 (15:58):

Everyone on Sesame Street kind of has different colored.
Speaker 7 (21:58):
I really do not know what means right, It is
just like a big word that I talkt would impress you.
Speaker 2 (22:04):

were impressed. Well because right then, panash is defined as
a boldness.
