## Transcript

>> Lie down for a sec.

>> All right. Ready? At 7 feet.

>> 100 percent. Jump. Jump. Jump. That's not jump.

>> Ladies and gentlemen, our 6th man on the short track Olympic team, Sean Gregory.

>> His unorthodox style of skating is strange, yet very hard to figure out. The team is having a hard time. You can see the type of fun he's doing. It's not great but hey, you know, we're making progress. You're moving. You're moving. Sometimes I feel like that. He needs equipment.

>> All right.

>> He's got the ability. It's the equipment that's holding him back. You know.

>> This is money. I could feel it.

>> Oh, boy. That was awful. Wow. What sport do you think I have some kind of shot in winter Olympics?

>> You know I've been thinking about this whole time and I really feel like you have a shot at figure skating, but I think my second option would be luge and I really like that load.

>> Tell though all your guy friends to watch out.

>> I will. I will. They're shaking in their briefs.

>> Quiet, bird.
