Evie: This is all I need out of all my Pairs programs, an excuse to bop.
Niamh: Nothing else, just a bop.
Evie: Just bops, baby.
Niamh: [Laughs] No pops, just bops.

Interview - Piper Gilles
If you could let the figure skating fan community know one thing about you, what would it be?
The whole community? Oh jeez. I’ll do a funny one. I recently got a lot of money in Animal Crossing.
Are you looking forward to the new Animal Crossing game?
Oh yeah. I’m now donating money to the Town Square to windmills and create paths so I’m very excited about that.
That’s amazing. I love Animal Crossing.
It’s so fun! I just learned a cheat code to get more money and I’m like “Sssh I’m paying my mortgage!” It sounds so ridiculous
Episode 37 - Autumn Classic International, Lombardia Trophy, US Classic and Nepela Memorial - Transcript
Gina: It is also quite demanding to go up to Seniors because a lot of Juniors will see that as an opportunity to improve their technical content, but they do also have to get out of the habit of being "Junior-ish" in their presentation. I think that would be a good reason to keep a program, so that you can mature it.
Lae: Like cheese. [Hosts laugh].
Karly: A good program is like cheese.
Lae: Yes, it needs time and loving care.
Episode 35: Photography and Figure Skating (feat. Interview with Joosep Martinson) - Transcript
Becs: Good costumes are such a draw in terms of just being like "Yes yes you are worthy!"
Gabb: Especially if they're sparkly!
Becs: Yes sparkles please!
Kat: Aka Ice Dance ladies.[Gabb: Yes!] 90% of the time deliver with their costumes.
Becs: Yes. One thing that is so beautiful about picking who you're going to photograph is ah Ice Dance ladies and ladies in general show up looking usually fabulous most practices even so...
Kat: And then you have the men with like 80% black costumes or monochrome.
Becs: Yeah it's tragic, it's a tragic contrast.
Episode 32: Warhorses - Transcript
Niamh: Another example of this was the “Despacito” we had during the Olympics.
Gina: Oh, God.
Karly: I was watching the Ice Dance Short Dance with my sister and my sister loves Despacito so every time “Despacito” came on she got super hyped, and I was like “Oh my God, not Despacito again.”
Niamh: Oh no, my mum thought they had to do “Despacito,” like it was the compulsory song. (hosts laugh)
Karly: You’re all doing “Despacito.” Carmen who? I only know “Despacito,” the true warhorse. (laughter)
Episode 29: World Figure Skating Championships 2019 - Transcript
Yogeeta: Peng and Jin's short is probably my favourite Short Program from the pairs from the entire season, and the fact that they were a fully rotated triple Sal away from getting bronze just causes my anxiety.
Kat: Listen, Sals are cursed for the Chinese pair girls.
Kite: They're cursed for everybody as we will talk about.
Yogeeta: Sals are snakes, we don't like them, they don't go here.
Kat: Yeah, I know. Although, I sacrificed something to the sal gods for Wenjing landing that Sal in the free, because I was like…
Yogeeta: Yeah, you sacrificed Yuzuru's Sal!
Kite: We really got to be more specific next time.
Episode 17: NHK Trophy 2018 - Transcript
Evie: I think they're both looking really good, especially his Short Program with the bright yellow pants that he's sporting. (Lynn: Banana pants!) It's definitely a look-
Lynn: He pulls it off!
Evie: I kinda wish he would go full banana and go for a bright yellow top and lean into the disco!
Lynn: I'd be into that.
Evie: Bejewel the hell out of the pants, flared legs - I'd be down for that.
Lynn: Stephane is really having an impact on him.
Episode 15: Skate Canada 2018 - Transcript
Nina: Paul needs to keep his moustache shaved.
Kat: Oh god, yeah.
Kite: He kept it out for the Rhythm Dance and shaved it for the Free Dance, I didn’t even recognise him when he came out for Free Dance practice. I was like “Oh my god, that’s Paul.” He looked like 15 years younger than he did 24 hours ago, just because he shaved his moustache.
Kat: Please do not do that, Paul, if you’re listening. Please just get rid of the moustache.
Nina: Paul, more flower crowns, fewer moustaches.
