S02 E14: U.S. Nationals 2022 - Men & Ice Dance Lutz Get Down to Business

US Nationals was a heck of a superspreader, er, figure skating competition! The top 7 men laid it down in the short program, and went on to lay down some chaos in the free skate. Ice Dance saw some nail biters and some boy bands as the top teams battled for the gold medal, and that coveted third Olympic spot.

In the Men’s event, we saw either Guy Fieri, Hot Cheetos, or the Eye of Sauron on Nathan Chen’s new fiery costume, a triumphant Camden Pulkinen, and a sad boot incident for our disco dancing king, Yaroslav Paniot.

In Ice Dance, we ah ah ah’ed our way through our recap, wondering how many sweatshirts Evan Bates really had on, bopping our heads to Eva Pate and Logan Bye’s Bye Bye Bye RD, and crying over both Hawayek and Baker, and Green and Parsons’ free dances.
