Shaun White and Danny Kass were obsessed with trading Olympic pins. I bet they can say ‘pin’ in every language.

The husbands, who sometimes have another family who’s grown, are going, Now I can spend time with my baby. Oh yeah, I bet your other family is really thrilled.

I bet you that we all learn from our mistakes. I’ve learned from my mistakes in the past, too.

I played a lot of tough clubs in my time. Once a guy in one of those clubs wanted to bet me $10 that I was dead. I was afraid to bet.
