00:00I thought it was finally time to tell you the long awaited question, how did I break my metal?
00:07How did I get the world's most expensive coaster? So anyway, your metal, it has a little string on
00:18it obviously. And in here, I don't know if you guys can see, but like there was a bar that was
00:23holding the ribbon onto my neck. Obviously, you guys all saw me swinging the thing around,
00:30I'll insert the video now. Ironically, that's not how it broke. I'm sure it didn't help,
00:45but that's not how it broke. So I was swinging around, it was on, it was fine.
00:49And then we were dancing, I think we were playing strut, actually. No, we weren't. I don't know
00:55what we were playing. I can't remember that. But I had it on my shoulder like a little purse.
01:01And I was just jumping, dancing, jumping. And I jumped down and it just fell off. So everybody
01:08was dancing and I was roaming around trying to get my metal off the ground. It has a dent now.
01:15So it's definitely one of a kind. And the little bar is gone. So I don't know what happened.
01:22The bar got loose and it fell out. Like I said, probably swinging around didn't help. But I just
01:27think that they should have made these better. They should have made them more sturdy. And
01:32honestly, I can't be faulted for that. So I don't know if I'm going to get it fixed. We are waiting
01:39to hear from the IOC, the Olympic Committee. They said I could probably get one. I had to
01:45prove to them that it was in fact damaged. But now we're just like waiting to see if not. Honestly,
01:52I think it's a cool, funny story. I have an Olympic gold medal. That's the story.
