In which we realize that Wakaba Higuchi was right when she wrote The Lion King. 

Or, Skate Canada Bonus Episode 2021!

*P.S. We have rebranded! The Tea Aftershow is now officially called SPIRALING, because sometimes you have a cute idea like 2 years later and decide to implement it anyway!

In Meghan and Neda's extended coverage of 2021 Skate America they have an extremely mature discussion about genital injury, play abs or no abs, and discuss Kaori Sakamoto's immense influence on Hollywood. 

In what was originally intended to be a Pride Month special episode before our mics and computers decided to betray us (honestly, under the circumstances, extremely homophobic of the technology!), we celebrate Skating Pride, the special event where every figure skater announced they were gay on the same day. More or less. 

(Please excuse our audio issues/the international choir of barking dogs on this one, we did our very best despite some technical snafus and thus no one is allowed to criticize us).

In this bonus episode, Meghan and Neda offer you the Snyder cut of Worlds 2021 commentary, including all your faves old and new! Featuring: a lot of Jokers! A brief history of the Sexy Back Cutout Blouse TM! And a certain skaters ALLEGED illicit hidden tattoos ALLEGEDLY ALLEGEDLY NOT CLICKBAIT!!

“Slappy Theme Song” by Meghan Kelleher

😳😩What If We Kissed 😳😘 at the 1992 Winter🥶Olympics🥇in Albertville🇫🇷🥖And We Were Both Pair👫Skaters⛸😍

Meghan and Neda put on their Film Podcaster TM hats once again to talk about a cult classic with which they have a LOVE/SKATE relationship, 1992's The Cutting Edge.

2018: It was a simpler time, and in many ways, a slappier time. For one thing, it had a Grand Prix Final, and for want of a GPF to cover this year, Neda and Meghan travel back in time to revisit the first event they ever covered (and then never released...the fabled Lost Episode TM).

Featuring an all star cast including Junhwan Cha as Romeo, Sofia Samodurova as Cher AND Christina Aguilera, Yuzuru Hanyu as THE Fiddler On The Roof, Shoma Uno as Lil Money Bladez, Jennifer Coolidge as Eteri Tutberidze, and Santa Claus as Supreme Judge Of Whether Your Dreams Are Too Hornt.

“Slappy Theme Song” by Meghan Kelleher

Tired of times being "uncertain" and "unprecedented"? So are we, so we decided to play god and take a peek into the future ourselves with the help of some trusty tarot cards and a lot of good old fashioned guessing! 

Who will get a neck tattoo? Who will feel their oats? Who will stop falling so damn much?? The cards will tell all* 

*Meghan is not a psychic** she just watches a lot of tarot Youtube and has an overactive imagination so this is, as is the case with everything we do on this aftershow, Just For Fun TM

**But if you want to throw her a couple bucks to do a private tarot reading she totally will because #hustlelife

"Slappy Theme Song" by Meghan Kelleher

Here at the Ice Tea Podcast, we know we're Not Like Other Podcasts....but what if we were? Haven't you ever wondered, what if we were just Two Bros making jokes about a movie we thought was bad!? Well, wonder no more, for the inevitable has finally happened: Neda finally made Meghan watch The Greatest Showman and we spent nearly as long as the runtime of the movie trying to piece together what we just saw. 

Featuring: 10% actual thoughtful discourse on the ways disabled folks were and are exploited in the entertainment industry, 10% well-informed musical theatre opinions, and 80% rage and confusion. 

"Slappy Theme Song" by Meghan Kelleher

There was so much ice tea to spill about Sasha Trusova's dramatic coaching change that it overflowed into this bonus episode! Featuring special guest Kaitlyn, an expert on Russian figure skating gossip, who guides Meghan and Neda on an odyssey through mafia schemes, Eurovision machinations, and good old fashioned petty Instagram beefs. #WHOISYANA

DISCLAIMER: Pretty much everything we say in this episode, though based on immaculately cited articles, is pure speculation. We have no real knowledge of behind the scenes events and are purely just gossiping for fun.

CONTENT WARNING: brief mention of the sexual abuse of Team USA gymnasts in the context of discussing the film "Athlete A"
