About this listen

From Ice Dances to Lice Fights | Good To See You | Ep 214Jen Bartels, Caitlin Brodnick, and Isaac Abrams jump from ice dancing vs. figure skating and Simone Biles’ “twisties” to audition nightmares, lice horror stories, ski-lift scares, LA 2028 logistics, and a goofy “Itch Begone” sketch. Honest, funny, and surprisingly tender — perfect for comedy fans, performers, and sports lovers.We dig into what makes Olympic coverage so compelling — the athleticism, the pressure, and the human stories behind highlight reels — and translate that into performer life: auditions that feel like competitions, the terrifying “twisties” that can derail even the best athletes, and the tiny rituals performers use to hold themselves together before a big moment. Expect smart takes on athlete mental health, concrete acting anecdotes you’ll relate to (or cringe at), and improv moments that land like a sketch show in the middle of a sports commentary.Beyond jokes and bits, the episode also gets practical and oddly useful: lice survival tips and the real costs of professional nit-picking services, how locals might rent out their LA homes for months of Olympics income, and what it actually takes to prepare for an elite event away from home. Whether you came for the winter-sport gossip, the audition war stories, or the ad-libbed commercial, there’s a mix of laughter and insight—plus a few heartfelt moments about family, caregiving, and balancing career opportunities with real-life responsibilities.Like, subscribe, and comment: Which Olympic event would you try?
