Since we can't be at the Olympics,
I wanted to bring the Olympics to us.
So, today, I'm kicking off my own competition.
Let's meet our three athletes for our first Ellen Baby
Olympics.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
All right.
First of all, representing Oceanside, California,
we have baby Coleman and his mom, Natalie.
Coleman is seven months old, and he's very, very committed.
He skipped his nap to be here today.
Next, representing Los Angeles, we
have baby Emmie and her mom, Megan.
Emmie is nine months old.
And she's been training for this event for 8 and 1/2 months.
Good luck, Emmie.
And representing Marietta, California,
we have baby Emree and her mom, Brooke.
Emree is the oldest at 13 months.
And a lot of people are surprised she's still competing
and hasn't retired.
All right.
So here's how this works.
It's baby curling.
And what's going to happen is each mom
is going to push their baby one at a time.
The baby that gets closest to the bullseye right there wins.
We'll play two or three rounds until, you know--
or until I'm bored, actually.
Strap your babies in.
And while they're strapped in, Twitch
will sing the national anthem.
[CLEARS THROAT] Yeah.
[LAUGHS] Um, how does it start, Ellen?
[LAUGHTER]
That's all right.
I just wanted to see if you'd do it.
OK, cool.
Yeah.
Thank you.
That's like-- yeah.
All right.
And the first mom is Natalie.
Good luck.
Natalie, you can do it.
She's the most aerodynamic, so-- or he is.
Nope.
Coleman, here we go.
All right.
Here we go.
Megan, good luck.
So-- like, I think if you lean down and put your body into it
and push and be one with Emmie, be one.
Oh.
No, way too much.
Way too much.
She went spinning around, didn't you?
Oh.
All right.
Well, that's not bad.
All right.
Here's what happening.
Brooke, everybody seems to be pushing in this direction.
So think of that.
Maybe the wind--
I don't know-- we should take that into account.
Maybe you should head in this direction, not quite as hard.
Good luck.
Coming for you.
Ready?
All right.
That looks good.
That looks real good.
That looks real, real good.
Ah-- oh.
Aw.
So that's really good.
All right.
All right, let's have one more round.
So far, that looks like that's the closest.
OK.
OK, good luck, Natalie.
Going to the right.
Come on, Natalie, this is important.
Go.
That looks--
Oh.
That is good.
Yay!
All right.
That is the one to beat.
Good luck, Megan.
Come on.
Oh, that's close.
What?
That's going to be a perfect bullseye.
Yay!
All right.
Come on.
It's down to you.
OK.
Ready, Emree?
Oh--!
That's-- It's a three-way tie.
That is a three-way tie.
And for playing, you're each getting a $1,000 Buy
Buy Baby gift card, where you can find my own Ellen DeGeneres
baby collection.
