“The personality of a girl on the golf team.” Oh. My. God.

Dave....your singing was the highlight of my week....I swear to God, I don't know how many times I re-watched you sing Tracy Chapman and choreograph Amber's next program! Loved it! Thank you Dave and Jonathan for a great nationals preview!!

My prediction: 1. Alysa Liu 2. Kendall Vertes 3. Mariah Bell

I cringe every time I see Madison and Zach skate to "my heart belongs to daddy"

Roman Sadovsky is a beautiful skater! I want to see him do well.

I actually lost my mind when you said “girl on the golf team”. Literal perfection, thank you for this. ⛳️

Dave, you also inspired me to take adult skating lessons again. After 30 years since my last lesson. I’m getting back my glide and twizzles. You’re my new idol, aside Yuna and my stepdaughters Eun Soo and Marin. 🙌🤗💕

You are almost at 20k! Probably going to happen soon, set let me be the first to say it. Congratulations guyys!

1:07:38 "Starr, a real Sammy Davis Junior!" That was fucking hilarious. Did not expect that one.

I just found this channel... love it. Thank you boys

I'm a huge (almost 315 ilbs.; working on it) Roman Sadovsky fan, can't wait to see him skate at Canadian Nationals. And such a high energy show this week. Clearly no Sudafed or other performance enhancing substances involved here. Also: "there's no teaching crazy" should be on our family's coat of arms.

Wow! What a treat. Another This and That! So glad you’re feeling better Dave. I agree with Jonathon. You’re rocking the sweater. Very sporty and chic. On to listening to the rest of the episode. ✌️😊❤️

Yay I have been waiting for this video all week! Going back to school tonight, yay...

I lost it when Dave sang “I put a spell on you”

The cheerleader chant is amazing. 😂

Congrats to Yuma! He's been phenomenal today (that speed!!!) - so happy for him :) oh, and Chris... :/

Also, Young You didn’t do the 3A in the short at the youth Olympics because it’s a junior competition and I don’t think she can do it in combination which is the only way she could’ve under junior rules.

I've been waiting for your upload!

wishing you gents a happy and healthy 2020. this is epic. I love your videos, your commentary, and also the faces/expressions at 1:08:00. EPIC!

I needed the Dave Lease Seal of Approval before I started watching Cheer. It is indeed EVERYTHING! 🙏

Omg I LOVE THAT SHOW, CHEER!!!!!..I cried my eyes out w the stories!!

Thank you guys for another awesome episode! (Dave, I love your sweater.) I have to comment on living in Texas outside the major cities (which I enjoy). I mean no disrespect to Texans, but as lifelong New Englanders my husband and I moved to central TX about 9 years ago and stayed for almost exactly a year. It was like a foreign country. We knew it was not for us almost right away, but I also got pregnant almost right away, and he had to figure out another job situation back in MA (where we've been ever since), so it took a year. I will say that the low cost of living and lack of state income tax were good things, as was the awesome Mexican food and amazing bbq. But it was such a strange place. He actually had to study and take a test about Texas before he could get a TX medical license. I asked him about it today and it seems he blocked the entire experience out. But I remember. We were about an hour north of Austin in a city filled with fast food and strip malls. It feels like another lifetime. It wasn't that it was awful, but people were really into religion, guns, and cattle ranches. It was all so foreign to me. And super HOT. And I got attacked by fire ants while planting a garden - not fun!

Literally laughed harder than I have in a long time. THANK YOU

Emmy Ma skates for Taiwan now, according to Wikipedia. She is the 2019 National Champion.

Isadora Williams was the first figure skater to ever represent Brazil in the Olympics. Even if she is not winning, Brazilians still like her.

This is right up there with the funniest you both have ever been - yes send the homeless guy to Eteri! laughing to tears

OMG! My daughter and I watched the Texas Cheerleaders in one sitting! OMG! That Texas history lecture! The whole thing--gripping. Mesmerizing. Horrifying.

Emmy Ma will be skating for Taiwan. She won their Nationals this past year.

I miss watching Gracie Gold. Certainly, I can't wait to see her on TV in the Nationals!!

The “tastes like chicken bulldog!!!” cheer is everything :)

Knocked out CHEER and it was beyond! Their poor ribs!! Thank you Dave!

So funny to hear talk of New Brunswick, my son was born there 36 years ago at a birth center! We lived in Newark at that time. His dad always wanted him to go to Rutgers but he just wanted to be a mechanic. I loved that campus though.

I told my partner, who shares Jonathan's "pun disease", that Jonathan called it that & he said "so it's like a pun-gal infection?"

My Sunday afternoon just got a lot more entertaining!

Also - just started Cheer! Love it! I was reminded of when I was younger and would be flipping channels and stumble onto a cheerleading competition. I used to love them. I've missed my calling, lol.

Love this! Are you guys going to nationals? I will be there. Hope to see you!

As far as up-and-coming Canadian ladies go, Aurora is really talented and was looking very promising in her domestic competitions at the start of the season, but she's been plagued with recurring groin injuries basically for the last two years, and that interrupted her fall international plans again. She was clearly struggling to get back into competing at Challenge, but I hope things will have improved by nationals. If there was more distance between the junior and senior ladies events a la Japan and Russia, I suspect Kaiya Ruiter would be doing both (she was too young to go to the Youth Olympics); she'll be debuting senior in the Olympic season.

Men: 1. Nathan Chan 2. Jason Brown /Vincent Zhou 3 Vincent Zhou/ Jason Brown

I’m gonna be so upset if Chock and Bates don’t win

The scene where the teacher was talking about Texas value was discusting I could not believe she did that. So sad...so narrow minded. I'm a new Yorker who moved to TN. Interesting.

For Canadian Ladies, we need to invest in Kaiya Ruiter (the Junior Challenge winner). She could be a good senior down the road and they need to keep pushing her.

I saw the notification for this and got so happy

I know you said you didn’t care but in Spinning Out, Michelle Long is the double for Kat’s lovely single skating. Liz Putman (Patrick Chan’s friend) doubles in the first few episodes doing the pair elements with Dylan ( when they first got together) When the full programs are skated, its Trennt and Evelyn.

Happy that Yuma Kagiyama won gold!! I see him working so hard at my rink. Can't wait to see him skate at 4C and Junior Worlds too!!

Oh, how I wish I had Cheered in HS!!! Instead, I was landing triple salchows. You can't have it all.😜

As a former 90's teen, I was living for all the 90's music references. Totally went to Lilith fair and listened to Tracy Chapman, Natalie Merchant, and Sarah McLachlan back in the day lol. Amber should totally skate to that music and win us all over. Oh, and started watching Cheer based on your recommendation, and LOVE IT. That Texas history lesson was jaw droppingly WTF.

HAHAHA I love you two!

Don’t know if anyone else said it on here, but apparently pseudoephedrine, the active ingredient in Sudafed was found in a study to enhance performance in 1500 m runners. It is also banned by WADA.

I have similar thoughts on US pairs. Alexa and Chris are like the American version of Tarasova and Morozov, in that you don’t quite know what you’ll get, but they’re our most talented and classic looking pair. They were strong early in the season and typically outscore the other US pairs with one or two bigger mistakes. They’re our best pair, but I hope they don’t put pressure on themselves to have to make it to Worlds or else. They have to be patient with their coaching changes, and I believe he indeed had an injury because his wrist was taped for shows. I hope they’re at Worlds but it’s not going to be easy against the Lion King soundtrack and Cain and LeDuc who are good but sometimes get very inflated scores at home for elements that are serviceable for a team with little height difference but not the most elite.

DAVE, Love that Sporty-Stripe!

We can!! We will!! We Must!!😂😂

1:19:14 Sudafed contains pseudoephedrine, which can be used as a stimulant/upper. I used them in high school to stay awake and alert, so I wouldn’t crash from overworking myself.

Alijona's the queen. If Bruno's not coming back, who is strong enough for Alijona?

Pseudoephedrine is used for weight loss by anorexics, that’s what I assumed Gracie was using it for. It’s an appetite suppressant.

Pneumonia....usually diagnosed with a chest x-ray indicating lung infiltrate. However, a lot of people, even doctors, are throwing the term around very liberally.

Dave's Tracy Chapman= Cher doing a Tracy Chapman impression LOL

Elizaveta Tuktamysheva and I both got pneumonia after Skate Canada in Montreal in 2018. I watched her NHK performances in the hospital, and she went into the hospital shortly after I got out!

OMG love your comments on ''Cheer".

I wish we could send the 3 best US pairs from this season (Knierims, Cain/LeDuc, and Denney/Frazier) to 4 Continents before picking a World team so they can be judged on foreign soil without the US crowd response to D/F's Circle of Life music coming into play. I actually think a World team of a healthy Knierims and Cain/LeDuc could possibly knock on the door of earning 3 spots given the international pairs field this season. But the only way to have a chance at that is if we send pairs with a lot of scoring potential, which D/F and especially K/O don't have. It's discouraging when a team like K/O get huge scores domestically for pair skating that would never hold up in a World field. Hopefully the Knierims are healthy and the US takes advantage of their talent and potential while they still can. Alexa especially is a rare talent among US pairs and they belong on a World stage. At the very least, those 3 pairs should be at 4 Continents to give the US its best chance at good scores.

Oh wow Gabs looks badass on that pic!!! Excited to listen and enjoy my cookies with tea ☺️

TSL tea to go with my Brunch.

The Cains are in Euless...basically right next to Grapevine. It’s outside Dallas but fairly close to Fort Worth. Dallas and Ft Worth are next to each other basically.

We starting watching cheer last night too. Recommend!

The men's FS at the Winter Youth Olympic Games was a lot of fun to watch actually. Kagiyama was third after the SP because he ran out of space on his triple-triple combo and hit the boards but came back - from a 7-point deficit - to beat Mozalev in the FS. He actually deserved to win by an even larger margin than he did considering the fact that he did two 3As and two quads and had excellent choreography and skating skills whereas Mozalev botched his 3As and has an unforgivably bad FS program (not necessarily his fault, but still … the music cuts are awful). It was fun too because numerous people (including myself) were abusing the commentator Chris Howarth during the live feed for underestimating Kagiyama while overhyping the two Russian skaters. Kagiyama - whom he kept pronouncing Kajiyama - skated last and Chris seemed to think he was battling for a bronze medal with Rakic who has no 3As and no quads. Even after Kagiyama skated, Chris was wondering if he maybe had a chance of beating Samsanov for the silver medal. Well, he did beat Samsanov - by almost 24 points. There was no question that was going to happen. The question was whether he'd beat Mozalev and luckily the judges did their job and awarded Kagiyama with enough points to vault into first. Chris clearly didn't seem to be aware of who Kagiyama was or that, for example, he recently outscored both Shoma Uno and Yuzuru Hanyu at the Japanese Nationals. I understand that these commentators are probably busy doing various paying gigs, but it was still inexcusable how much he underestimated Kagiyama and I wasn't the only one to think this.

"Cheer" is fabulous!

Hey Dave...what skates did you buy for Michael? I haven’t skated in a decade but am thinking about picking it back up. Interested in a decent entry skate that doesn’t break the bank until I understand if it will fit back into my schedule enough to justify dropping more money.

And btw...u nailed the narrative for CHEER..

Cannot believe you’re not interested in the junior Olympics as it has been really fantastic to watch and don’t forget these are the skaters in the next year or two. I have really and and still enjoying the standard is great.

Agreed, Cheer is amazing! I never thought I would be so captivated by cheerleading.

“the higher the hair the closer to God” 😂😂😂

Can we please have a Gabby Daleman vs. Gabi Butler video?

Unless I missed it, I’m surprised you guys didn’t mention that Yaroslav Paniot is now competing for the US (instead of Ukraine) and will be competing here. He has had such a wonky career this far.

Please, start making videos of Netflix Cheer or do recaps for NCA and Worlds for elite cheer! ❤️ Love to hear your opinions and I can’t stop laughing at your commentary. 🤣

"Well that's butch." I can't with ya'll!!!!!

So I’ve now watched Cheer twice as well....Thanks Dave! But...I have to admit....Gabbi’s parents give me the creeps. Her mom is absolutely over the top and her dad is just....well.....using his daughter for financial gain. But it’s soooooo good! I feel like the docu-series did a really good job at portraying everyone exactly as they should have been portrayed. Good stuff.

Emmy Ma is skating for Chinese Taipei, she won their nationals this past year

I love you girls... guys! slaying suits you!! Could you please update us about Morgan Ciprès? In celebrating 50 years since I started skating I will be at Nationals next week! I also just bought new skates SP Teri’s. Anyhoo... I 💜 u!

Can't wait to hear your thoughts on Canadian Nationals.

Y'all really calling Gabi Butler out of shape?? She's a 22 year old adult woman now, so no, of course she doesn't weigh 80 pounds anymore like she did when she was a literal *child* on SMOED, but she is muscular and very fit and in incredible shape. They way y'all talk about women's bodies on this show can be so harmful sometimes. Like last year it was Tuk needs to lose 10 pounds if she wants higher PCS, now this year you're complaining about Tuk losing power in her skating because she lost weight 🙄

Wow at the segment over Texas. Cried a little on the inside at the mention of Texas History. But also had no idea my hometown had Worlds Gymnastic Center??! You learn something new everyday I guess. But hey, if you think cheerleading in Texas is interesting, check out drill team culture. It's kind of like NFL style cheerleading.

a question...what is the story of Salome, is an opera? What year did Michelle perform it so I can watch it?

Where can you watch Dave’s take on cheer?

Why didn't the US send Alysa to the Youth Olympics? I guess the Nationals were too close, but that is bad scheduling by the US Fed. The Youth OLYMPICS are eligible for the Season's Best List and World Standings List and all other countries know that and sent their best eligible skaters.

OMG! Dave, you've got those Salome arms down! I think you found your music!

I am getting Ralph Lauren Polo vibes from the sweater stripe.

I love love love you guys ♥️♥️♥️♥️. I always enjoy watching you two 😊. Tracy Chapman did come out and she is in a relationship with the woman who wrote color purple Alice Walker .

I grew up in Texas, all 7th graders are required to take a Texas History class. It’s a real thing

These canadian women😬😬😬they need Cynthia phaneuf back😭

For everyone who liked Cheer, other all star cheer shows include “Cheer Full Out” on the Skitz TV KZfaq channel (college age), “Cheerleaders” on the Awesomeness TV KZfaq channel (high school) and “Twinkles: Chasing Perfection” (elementary school) on the NJ.com youtube channel

Love the Isabeau Levito shoutout. Also don’t forget miss Calista Choi who’s got edges and skating skills for days. And then Mia Kalin who might put a 4S in her Free. Our junior ladies might be more exciting than the senior this year.

That "Finnish girl" was Laura Lepistö.

Didn't Larkyn retire last season?

I’m having a hard time getting into spinning out and it’s surprising because I’ve been a figure skating super fan for years. I think it would have had a better appeal if they had cast or at least given cameos to some of our favorite skaters. I dunno.

I honestly do believe that Veronik is the odds on favorite to win her first Canadian nationals... I joked about it after Skate America, but it’s kind of true

Pairs is suppose to be PAIRS...not a great lady skater and some guy with no lines or SS to lift and throw her.....

sing it, Dave!

I immediately thought of Last Chance University, that must be the other show from the same ppl.

I'm sorry when you get pneumonia it is very easy to get pneumonia again.

Jonathan, I just looked it up recently that supposedly Pan means you're into all while Bi means you're just into some.
