THAT MAYBE I'LL GET TO DO SOME OF THIS COOL STUFF,
SHE'S LIKE, "YOU GOT TO GET ON 'ELLEN,'"
SO I'VE--I GET TO TICK THAT ONE OFF THE LIST.

- ALEXANDRA, AND SHE WAS IN SOCHI WITH YOU, RIGHT?
- SHE WAS, YEP. - OH, THAT'S--
THAT'S AMAZING, TO HAVE HER THERE.
- YEAH, IT WAS REALLY COOL.
- 'CAUSE SHE HAD GOOD LUCK CHARMS FOR YOU AND EVERYTHING,
AND THAT--DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE IN ALL THAT STUFF,
OR IS IT--YOU JUST KIND OF--
- OH, I THINK THAT--I MEAN, EVEN IF THEY CLAIM TO NOT BE,
I THINK ALL ATHLETES ARE A LITTLE SUPERSTITIOUS.
- REALLY? - I'VE BEEN--
YEAH, I'VE BEEN ROCKING THE SAME LUCKY BOXERS
FOR ABOUT FIVE OR SIX YEARS NOW,
AND THEY'RE STARTING TO GET A LITTLE BIT QUESTIONABLE.
- OKAY, OKAY.
SO YOU STARTED SKIING WHEN YOU WERE THREE YEARS OLD?
- YEP, IT'S BEEN PART OF MY LIFE
FOR, YEAH, AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER.
- RIGHT.
- SO THEY HAVE THESE THINGS CALLED SNOW BLADES,
AND THEY'RE FOR ADULTS WHO WANT TO BE ON REALLY SMALL SKIS,
SO I FOUND A PAIR OF THOSE IN MY GARAGE
AND I'VE ACTUALLY BEEN TAKING MY TWO-YEAR-OLD OUT ON 'EM
AND CRUISING AROUND THE MOUNTAIN.
SO I WAS ABLE TO, YEAH, RECYCLE THOSE.
- IS SHE--WHAT'S HER NAME? - NAYELI.
- AND IS SHE GOOD? - YEAH, SHE'S--
SHE'S ACTUALLY PRETTY GOOD.
I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE CALIBER IS FOR GOOD AT TWO,
BUT SHE CAN RIDE BY HERSELF, SEE?
- OH, THAT'S SO CUTE!
THAT'S SO CUTE. OH, MY GOD.
[cheers and applause]
COME ON.

- I MEAN, NO, THAT'S HARD TO KEEP YOUR LEGS TOGETHER
LIKE THAT FOR ANYONE, MUCH LESS A TWO-YEAR-OLD, ISN'T IT?
- YEAH, I'M PROUD OF HER. - YEAH, THAT'S AMAZING.
AND SHE'S BEEN WATCHING YOU ON TV, AND SO I BET--
I MEAN--'CAUSE I SAW A PICTURE OF HER KISSING THE TV,
OR SOMETHING?
- OH, YEAH, SO SHE-- YOU KNOW,
UNFORTUNATELY WASN'T ABLE TO BE OUT THERE IN RUSSIA WITH ME,
BUT SHE'S BEEN WATCHING.
SHE'S SUPER EXCITED.
EVERY TIME I TALK TO HER, SHE'S LIKE,
"DAD, WHEN ARE YOU COMING HOME?" OR, "I MISS YOU," OR--
- WAIT, SHE'S TWO AND SHE SAYS THOSE THINGS?
- YEAH, I--
WELL, YOU KNOW, I COULD, LIKE,
CONVERT IT INTO TODDLER SPEAK FOR YOU IF YOU WANT, BUT--
- OKAY, YEAH. - BUT THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID--
IN MY MIND, THAT'S WHAT I HEAR SHE'S SAYING.
- OKAY.
BUT SHE'S REALLY GOING, "DA-DA," LIKE, RIGHT?
- YEAH-- NO, SHE ACTUALLY USED WORDS.
- SHE'S TWO. - YEAH, SHE'S--
- REALLY? - YEAH, HER--
AFTER I WON X GAMES LAST MONTH, SHE WAS LIKE,
"OH, NICE NECKLACE, DAD."
- WOW, SHE IS A GENIUS.
SHE'S PRETTY SMART FOR TWO.
WHAT'S THE WORST THAT YOU'VE HURT YOURSELF?
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
- AS FAR AS PAIN TOLERANCE,
THE WORST I'VE EVER BEEN THROUGH WAS FROSTBITE, ACTUALLY.
- REALLY? - YEAH.
- MORE SO THAN THE-- - YEAH, 'CAUSE IT'S LIKE--
YOU KNOW THAT FEELING WHEN YOU STUB YOUR TOE, AND, LIKE,
IT'S JUST UNBEARABLY PAINFUL FOR A SECOND?
THAT'S FROSTBITE, BUT YOU CAN'T TURN IT OFF.
YOU KNOW, THERE'S LIKE--YOU'RE, LIKE, SITTING THERE LIKE,
"I HOPE I PASS OUT SOON, 'CAUSE THIS IS REALLY--
THIS IS NOT FUN."
- THAT'S AMAZING. I DIDN'T--
I DON'T WANT FROSTBITE, FOR SURE.
- YEAH, DON'T GET IT. YEAH, AVOID IT.

THAT I THINK ARE GONNA BE YOUR GOOD LUCK UNDERWEAR.
'CAUSE YOU GOT THE GOLD, RIGHT,
SO WE MADE YOU SPECIAL--

WARMER UNDERWEAR. - WOW.

YOUR WIFE WAS THERE,
AND--BUT YOUR BABY-- YOUR DAUGHTER DIDN'T GET TO GO.
AND SO I KNOW HOW BADLY YOU WANT TO SEE HER.
SO YOU WANT TO SEE HER RIGHT NOW?
- THAT WOULD BE REAL NICE.
- ALL RIGHT, LET'S SEE HER. - NO WAY.
