It’s been a busy few days for Colorado’s Red Gerard after he won the slopesyle gold. Most recently, he appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” sporting a seriously large hat and spilling what it’s like to win an Olympic gold medal at 17.

He flew a “quick 13 hours” as he called it from South Korea before he has to fly back for the rest of the games, but not with him family, he joked.

The crew of 18 that traveled to South Korea is living it up watching the events, shotgunning beers (with their fingers) and enjoying flowing sake. You may have seen them on TV or in some photos boasting the sign “We’re here to get Gerarded.”

Well, he finally spills what that means in the clip below.

He also talks about getting that gold through airport security, possibly adding halfpipe to his arsenal, running late to his event, peaking at 17 and more.
