NOEL KING, HOST:

MONICA RUIZ: (As character) First ride - I'm a little nervous but excited.
KING: The ad seemed sexist and just weird. So what did Sean Hunter, who played the husband, get his real-life girlfriend for Christmas? A Peloton bike. He wrote on Instagram, here's hoping this goes over better the second time. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
