Going to the Olympics? Get Off My Back
"I hated that question as a kid. Get off my back."

Trampoline Parks: Never, Ever Go
"Trampoline park basically means a warehouse full of trampolines."
If a gym says it cannot get insurance for an adult class, Andrew has a punchline: find out who insures your local trampoline park. Whoever they are, they will insure anything.

Not Flexible? Nobody Was
"Nobody came out of the womb in an over split."
The excuse Andrew hears most is that people would love to, but they are not flexible. Nobody was when they started. Any age, any body, period.

Taking the Hate: I'm the Lightning Rod
"I will be the lightning rod for all the hate."
Andrew takes the comments so people who don't want to be visible don't have to. Some of them genuinely hurt — but the worse they get, the more certain he is that he is doing the right thing.

He Rode the Pommel Horse: The Sillier the Better
"The guy must have been 80. His hand slipped, so he just sort of fell, sitting on the horse."
The moment adult gymnastics clicked for Andrew. The sillier the better — that IS the point, and it is how you rewrite what the sport did to you as a kid.

Adult Gymnastics: Warm Up to Warm Up
"We need the warm up before the warm up."
The biggest mistake gyms make with adult classes is booking one hour. Adults need a full 30 minutes first — hips, ankles, band walks, all the prehab — before the warm up even starts.

Everything Is a Deduction: Steal From Skating
"We need to move away from everything is a deduction."
Andrew's fix for gymnastics scoring: steal it from figure skating. Start at a base and add for what is great. Spending decades hearing what was wrong with what you just did is not a healthy way to grow up.

"This is a you problem."
Jessica on what she tells herself when someone comes for her online — and on the part she actually finds hard, which is not the hate. It is how rarely people have the courage to say what they think. Andrew`s answer at the end is the episode in one line.
