Karly: Today we have a guest host!
Aly: Hi I'm Aly Wein, and I'm the founder and editor of Edges of Glory. I'm so honored to be cohosting In The Loop this week with my girl Karly.
Karly: Yay welcome Aly!
Aly: Thank you! It's so surreal.
Karly: Seriously, I've been looking forward to this recording for weeks because we've had Aly on standby for an episode. You were at Canadian Nationals so it's perfect for you to host this episode.
Evie: Honestly, I would like to see a Flight of the Valkyries but Flight of the Zambonis, just a bunch of them cresting over a hill - [cue the music]
Becs: That's the epic we need to produce!
Evie: Coming this summer “The Flight of the Zambonis.” [music swells] One Zamboni driver against the World!
Becs: Sounds about right.
Tilda: Speaking of quirky, I want to give a shout out to [Elizaveta] Pasechnik and [Egor] Kolosovskii for their "Jungle Book" Rhythm Dance. That was a lot of fun! I have to admit, I went "Jungle Book!?!" when Ted announced it.
Kat: Yeah, it was really fun and they skated it really well too! And honestly, I am here for teams that go a little bit out of the box with the musical theme style.
Kat: It’s a testament to the fact - especially for “Chaplin” - there’s a lot of commitment that has to be had to be able to pull off “Chaplin,” and they really commit the entire time with the facial expressions. They don’t lose steam and I think losing steam is what would make this program suffer, but they really commit to it the entire time.
Becs: They even commit to the “Black Swan.” Xinyu’s eyeshadow, man. Everyone should take note and follow. This is the sort of makeup that you should be doing. I appreciate also Adrian’s commitment to the clown makeup.
Kat: We appreciate men in eyeliner and eyeshadow.
Niamh: When someone lands their jump, you expect to see some snow, but you're not supposed to see liquid water.
Kite: Like this is advanced snow.
Niamh: I was [talking] to the ones sitting beside me, I was like “We might as well be watching synchronized swimming.”
Evie: Polar ice cap synchronized swimming - coming to an Olympics near you!
