For one thing, it's impossible for me to take you seriously as an Olympic-level quality athlete if you are wearing blue jeans while you snowboard. At that point, you transition from high caliber competitive athlete to some dude on a snowboard who is inexplicably on my telly. Also: why won't you wash and comb your hair?
