KYLE: It’s the Olympics, you work your butt off for your entire life to be there, and you should be able to go make friends with whoever you want to make friends with and just have fun. And so you know that means that we let them be themselves and use the language they want to use and talk the way they would with their friends. And because of this, because we’re not on live TV, because we’re not on a stage, we’re not in front of an audience, you know our guests can really be themselves and you get to experience them in a way that you normally wouldn’t. And I was like podcasts are intimate, they’re not the same experience when you get when you’re watching a TV show or something. In the end I have to make a judgment call about when it feels right, and in this case, you know, I talked to Kyle about this after the show. And I also feel like if you know one naughty word on this podcast, or three or four, is the worst thing that kids come across on the internet, as Dvora once said on the show, then thank God, because there are way worse things than a bad word on this show. I wish I’d had a role model like Kyle when I was a kid. I think gymnastics sometimes suffers because it has this teeny-bopper goody two-shoes image and I think it’s really healthy for us to let people come on the show and be themselves. And they’re also just like us because they talk like us. It also means that we will occasionally lift the veil, proverbial veil on gymnastics and show that gymnasts are just like any other jocks. So just like movies like The Avengers, Harry Potter, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and, of course, The Hunger Games, that means that occasionally you’ll hear a naughty word on the show. So our show’s always rated PG-13, I just haven’t taken full advantage of that yet. JESSICA: Before we start this week’s show, I just want to let you guys know that this show is rated PG-13.
