In a recent interview at the 2026 Olympics, Elmo had the opportunity to chat with the Tkachuk brothers, Matthew and Brady. The brothers, who are also teammates on Team USA, shared their excitement about representing their country during the prestigious event.
Bonding as Teammates and Roommates
Throughout the tournament, Matthew and Brady have not only been linemates but also roommates. “It’s been an absolute blast,” Matthew expressed. “We’re representing the red, white, and blue.” The experience has been reminiscent of their childhood, filled with laughter and camaraderie.
However, being roommates has its quirks. Matthew humorously pointed out a challenge: “Brady’s snoring has been something else.” Elmo responded with a playful quip, comparing them to beloved characters Bert and Ernie.
The Brother Test
To wrap up the engaging interview, Elmo introduced “The Brother Test.” This segment featured rapid-fire questions to see how well the siblings know each other. The questions included:
- Who is a cookie monster?
- Who has the best dance moves?
- Who is more likely to call mom?
- Who is a better cook?
For the first question, both brothers humorously pointed at each other, showcasing their playful dynamic.
At the end of the interview, Elmo asked, “Who’s ready to win a medal and make Team USA proud?” With enthusiasm, both brothers raised their hands. “We’re gonna make you proud, Elmo,” Matthew assured, reflecting their determination to succeed on the Olympic stage.
