2 Girls And A Game - Curling Podcast

Bizarro Brier Starters   What is really going on in Regina?   The 2 Girls and a Game Curling Podcast—No. 1 among all curling pods, we remind you—is back with episode 15 of season 9.   And it’s all about the Brier.   The start of this Canadian men’s curling championship is unlike any other in recent memory. Some favourites are down, and one is completely out (Kevin Koe), while some traditional minnow provinces are in the running for playoff berths.   G1 and G2 try to make sense of it all, with their usual doses of frank talk, dirty talk (!!) and all other kinds of curling talk.   If you’re listening on The Curling News/SI website, a whack of colourful images have been embedded in the media player file to enhance your podcast experience.   Enjoy the episode and stay safe!

Lori and Mary are back with episode 6 of season 9 and a smorgasbord of curling talk.   First up is a recent catch-up chat with Lori running into some Newfoundland curling stars in Ontario, and Mary revealing the new Super Team she is a member of. She’s more than a member, actually; she’s throwing skip stones!   Event discussion then takes place with the weekend’s European Championships and the Canadian Curling Club Championships, followed by fresh news that a new USA vs Canada “North American” championship has been created for recreational curlers!   Next up are discussions over the Olympic road through Nova Scotia, and the reveal that competitors did in fact approach Sportsnet about not being consulted on Grand Slam format changes. Turns out the players weren’t happy, and changes have just been announced.   What’s left? Various fun and silliness over the Beckham Dance (The Girls want to recruit Jennifer Jones and Brent Laing), and the Curling Legends upload of an old 1997 STOH match featuring our “Baby Girls

The 2 Girls are back.   The podcast superstars are back in town for episode 5 of season 9 after G1’s adventures in Swift Current produced a bronze medal for Ontario.   The Girls thoroughly break down the Canadian Mixed championship before tackling the controversial Pan Continetal Championships in Kelowna.   Then it’s on to Pictou, N.S. to discuss all things Grand Slam.   There’s even some David Beckham in there.   Enjoy the episode and stay safe!

2 Girls and a Game: The PointsBet   Lori and Mary return from a weekend of golf and curling – the latter didn’t involve them playing (for once) but rather saw them watching and conducting interviews at Curling Canada’s new event jewel, the PointsBet Invitational.   The subjects range far and wide – the poor GTA crowds; G1’s U18 teams at ice level with the stars; the women’s and men’s championship finals; Wonder Woman Rachel Homan (again); how can Team Dunstone take that final step to gold; the upsets; questions for TSN (why do they do the things they do); curling’s Taylor Swift solution; improvements to the event; Team McEwen and more.   There are three athlete interviews interspersed with the usual 2G commentary - Christina Black, Matt Hall and Greg Balsdon.   Finally, The Girls bid farewell to a popular curling star.   Enjoy the episode and stay safe!
