Salish & Jordan Matter (2026) s02e05 Episode Script

[Jordan M] Today, my daughter Salish
challenges Jordan Chiles
to an elite gymnastics competition
for an awesome surprise.
I'm gonna win 'cause
I'm a level-six, 12-year-old beast.
[Jordan M] She may sound confident,
but there's one thing I forgot to mention.
- [record scratch]
- You're an Olympian?
Dad, you never told me
she was an Olympian!
[both] Round one, Stick It.
There will be three Stick It challenges.
Whoever wins the most wins this round.
Stick It number one, they each
have to stick their bars dismount.
[blows whistle]
- [Salish] Yeah!
- [Jordan M] Oh yeah!
- See if you can do that.
- [crickets chirp]
- Um…
- [chuckling]
You know, I usually stick my dismount,
but I don't know
if I can stick it on the spot.
What do you think of
when you go into your dismount?
- Nothing! [chuckles]
- Nothing?
Never think about the stick.
Once you know your techniques
and how you put yourself into the air,
the landing will come easy.
- Okay?
- Okay.
You got this.
Ladies and gentlemen,
my adorable little daughter, a level six!
She's gonna kick some butt and… Ow!
This is a warmup!
There's no such thing as warmups in life.
Yes, there are!
- Nobody's watching.
- Dad!
[Jordan M] Cute.
[Salish laughs]
[dramatic music playing]
- Salish Matter!
- [blows whistle]
Yeah!
You know, I could do that in my sleep.
Well, then I call for a rematch.
Okay, let's go
to the next round of Stick It.
Beam, Jordan's doing an aerial.
Salish is doing a back handspring.
- Let's do it!
- [blows whistle]
- I love that.
- This isn't even fair.
This is her own beam!
How am I supposed to win?
It's not about the beam.
- Yes, it is!
- It's about the person. [laughs]
[Jordan M] Oh!
- Oh, oh, oh!
- [Salish] No!
- She stuck it! That counts.
- [Salish squeals]
She didn't fall off the beam.
Nor did I touch the beam,
so it doesn't count as a fall.
I'm gonna stick this!
I do it in my routine.
Do you have it? Do you need help?
Do you need any coaching? Anything?
If you don't stick it,
I'll still love you.
- I'll hug you.
- Dad!
He'll still love her no matter what.
That's what it's all about.
We did the same thing.
She stuck it too!
Your wobble was way worse. She was like…
No, I'm pretty sure
yours was like, "Waaah!"
It is all tied up.
Last Stick It, floor pass.
Whoever wins wins this round.
They'll play rock, paper, scissors
to see who's first.
Rock, paper, scissors, shoot.
- Ooh!
- I'll go second.
- No!
- Now I'm all…
In moments like this, Salish
loves when I give her a pep talk.
- No, no, no! No!
- I was just gonna give you a pep talk.
- No.
- [Jordan M] Okay. I'm out.
I try to be calm, cool, and collected.
Go out there, have fun with it.
- You got this.
- Thank you.
- Ready?
- You got this.
- [Jordan M] Oh! Yes! Yes!
- [squeals]
Yes! Beat that, Jordan!
Okay, so that was pretty good,
but watch me work this.
- [Jordan M] Wow!
- Told ya!
They both stuck all three challenges,
so there's no score.
Next round, rope climb.
First person to get to the top wins.
[blows whistle]
I haven't done this in a very long time.
I do this three times every day,
but I'm still not gonna win.
Girl, have confidence in yourself.
How can I have confidence
when I see your muscles?
That doesn't matter.
Girl power all the way.
- Girl power!
- One, two, three.
[blows whistle]
Oh, Salish got an early start,
but then Jordan… Whoa, Jordan!
Oh my God! Salish, you gotta hurry up!
It's all over already.
[man] You win.
- [Salish] Already?
- Already.
I'm not messin' around anymore.
Next round is all about focus and balance.
Salish and Jordan are gonna have to
walk backwards, then forwards
on the beam while holding this egg.
If they drop it, they lose.
First one to get back wins.
Dad, if I drop this,
we all know you're cleaning it up.
Yeah, we do. We know that.
One, two, three.
[blows whistle]
Ah, ah, ah, ah!
No, no, no, no! False start.
One, two, three.
- [buzzer sounds]
- Aah, aah! You see what I did there?
[blows whistle]
Oh boy. Salish in the early lead.
- Oh. This… My little girl--
- [Salish] Are we walking backwards again?
All the way to the end.
Now, go forward! Go forward!
Oh, who's racing?
This is gonna be a photo finish!
I don't know who won. Play it back!
No! I'm losing two-nothing!
Next round, roundoff back tuck,
landing in the square.
The squares keep getting smaller
until someone can't do it.
My little girl is going to start.
Try and get in.
Say-Say, you're down two-nothing.
- Dad!
- It isn't about winning.
- It's all about having fun.
- Yeah, Dad.
Right, that's what I meant.
Having fun by winning.
They don't have to stick their landing,
but they do have to stay in the box.
All right, Salish Matter,
land in the big square.
She got it! Yes! Yes! Yes!
Her toe did not come over.
Play it! Play it back.
[slowed] She got it.
On the line is okay.
You can't go over the line.
Don't panic. No pressure.
But if you can't land in that big box,
she's got a point on you.
[Jordan M] Oooh! Oh!
I thought you were gonna go over,
but you didn't.
Now a much smaller box.
This is getting tough.
There, there, yes, yes!
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!
We did it! Matter power! Boom!
- [crickets chirping]
- Okay.
Way to fight. Way to survive.
You're a survivor.
Mmm! See? She loves pep talks.
Go.
Ooh… Oh!
- [Salish] Yeah!
- [Jordan M] Don't move! Don't move!
Right… She did it.
- There we go.
- Another one in the box.
- This is so unfair!
- What do you mean?
- My feet are the same size as yours.
- But you're an Olympian.
You're gonna go against people
that are better than you,
but never have that mindset of
thinking you're gonna lose against them.
Say, I'm gonna be with you the whole way.
Win or lose, at the end of this video,
Jordan has a huge surprise for Salish.
Go, go, go!
Go! Go! Right there!
Go! Right there, you're doing…
- Waaah! Oh, oh, oh!
- [buzzer sounds]
- You're way too overinvested.
- She's right.
Okay, I know you need some advice,
so my advice is just do it.
Sounds good.
[Jordan M] Oh! Oh! Oh my God!
Wait! No!
What?
First try, baby.
Nuh-uh! Mm-mm! ♪
[all laughing]
Flex break! Urghh!
- Ugh!
- Ugh!
This is what makes it so special.
- Yeah, she wins.
- Yeah.
If I get a tat of, like, Olympic rings,
would that look cool?
[crickets chirping]
Salish is already down three-nothing,
and it is first person to four,
so she has to win the next four in a row
to win this competition.
Next round is
three flexibility challenges.
Part one, the TikTok no hands
get up challenge, looks like this.
Part one, split, part two, pike,
part three, stand up.
I'm not flexible. This challenge is
about to rip my hips apart.
You know, I could do this in my sleep.
[blows whistle]
[Jordan M] Ooh. Oh, wait. Wait.
Okay, wait, Jordan is not standing up.
Salish is… up!
- And she wins it!
- I'm stuck.
Girl! We gotta go to the next challenge!
Get up!
I'm gonna take a photo of each of them.
Whoever splits their legs more wins.
Your expression,
you might wanna work on that expression.
I can't put that expression out there.
Go again.
Okay.
- Are we good?
- Yeah.
You ready? Go get 'em, little thing.
Okay.
That was not good, Dad.
She's not gonna want anybody to see that.
I'm gonna give you another chance.
Okay.
- Okay.
- It's all right.
Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay?
They were similar on their splits,
but Jordan's technique won that.
Final challenge for flexibility round
is oversplit.
We're gonna keep stacking mats
until one of 'em can't do it anymore.
You're really good.
You gonna beat me at everything?
I mean, honestly,
you're pretty good at flexibility,
so I don't know about that.
When I blow this whistle, they sit up.
They have to keep their knees
totally straight for it to count.
[blows whistle]
- Oh, wow. She's pulling the extra…
- My hips don't, my back don't.
Nothing's flexible about me.
Next mat, lift your legs up.
[blows whistle]
- Looks good.
- This hurts so bad.
I'm like an old lady. I'm literally 20.
Smiling through the pain. Girl power!
[blowing whistle]
Another mat! Whoo-hoo!
On three.
- I'm gonna say, one…
- Go!
Two, three, let go!
Oh, she's out!
- The next round is…
- High jumps! [chuckles]
We're gonna keep stacking this higher and
higher until one of 'em can't clear it.
This next round is worth three points.
- Yay!
- What? That's not even fair!
- I make the rules.
- [blows whistle]
I don't know if you guys know?
- But the ref is the father of the girl!
- [blowing whistle] Here we go!
- I don't…
- [Salish] Go, go!
This is just like vault, so if you can
do vault, you can kill this challenge.
Yeah, I hate vault.
Come on, get over there.
Oh. Oh, wow. Okay, that was easy.
Oh! Oh, she didn't even lift her legs up.
Think that was easy? Get over that.
- There, get… Oh yeah!
- Yes!
- Oh…
- Whoo! Too easy.
All right, my little girl,
I believe in you.
Oh man, it's getting kinda high.
Push it, get over there, yes!
- Yes! Yes!
- Yes!
- Oh!
- Okay. It's getting tougher.
Next, gettin' a little higher.
- I don't know if I can clear this.
- [Jordan M] You got it, Say. You got it.
- Yeah, she did it! Oh! Yes!
- [horn blaring]
Oh, look. Jordan's feelin' the pressure.
Look at it, the intensity in her eyes.
Get… Okay! Okay, that looked easy.
[laughs]
This is exciting. It's David and Goliath.
We got a 12-year-old versus an Olympian.
It's coming down to this, man!
Red and blue, see? Next round
is gonna be white, if they have 'em.
I know it's getting a little taller,
but you got this, I promise.
Okay.
Last time, Salish got
about this far above the blue,
so she's gonna have
to find something extra to get over this.
- Oh! She did it!
- [Jordan C] Oh!
[Jordan M] Yes!
That was good.
[Jordan M] You never know. You never know.
- Ooh! Wow!
- [laughs] Almost clipped it.
All it takes is one mistake
from Jordan for a huge upset.
Keeps gettin' higher and higher.
How am I supposed to clear that?
Oh my goodness.
I don't know about this one.
- I'm a little scared for you.
- [chuckles] Wow.
[Jordan M] Salish,
I believe in you. You got this.
Ohh!
- Oh!
- [Salish] No!
Jordan, if you get this, it's all over.
This is honestly more stressful than
actually going to the Olympics
and competing.
Jordan Chiles has competed
in the Olympics and won silver,
but can she handle the pressure
of this moment?
Oh my gosh.
[Jordan M] For the gold!
You get over this, it's all over,
and you have beaten a level-six gymnast.
- Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
- [Jordan C squeals]
- Wait! Wait, wait!
- Look, they came down!
- I cleared it.
- [Salish] It was the wind.
Okay. Replay.
We reviewed the tape,
and the gold medal goes to Jordan Chiles!
- [horn blaring]
- Yeah!
Your gold medal.
- [Salish] Wait.
- Wait, this is not a gold medal.
Yes it is. That's my medal. Dad!
- I… What?
- [Salish] That's my medal!
- Just gonna leave that right there.
- [Jordan M] You can keep it!
I gotta go.
I just have to say,
you're an amazing competitor,
and I have a huge surprise for you
that I hope will make you dream big
and continue your journey.
[announcer] And now, for the Bruins,
Jordan Chiles.
This is awesome!
- [Jordan M] Ohhh!
- [Salish screams]
- Way to go, Jordan! 9.95!
- [Jordan M] She got a 9.95?
- Yeah.
- [Jordan M] Wow!
