from NonMembers Only · host NonMembers Only
Happy National Curling is Cool Day! We celebrate the holiday with a special in person episode from Mike’s basement, kicking things off with a major update on the Craig Conover 10K challenge: the race has been officially moved to April 7th to allow for more training (and fundraising). Erin gives a fitness update involving a "hit run" and her struggle to do pull ups while wearing heavy snow boots.We then dive into a massive Olympic recap, discussing the heartbreak of "Quad God" Ilia Malinin and the wild curling cheating scandal involving Canada, Sweden, and a "hidden" camera. We analyze the absurdity of "Doubles Luge" (and propose a "Triple Stack" version), demand the immediate return of Ski Ballet, and review the fascinating day jobs of Olympians -- -- from a maple syrup shop worker to a snowboarder who is a concrete pourer. We also shout out the 50 year old personal injury attorney who subbed in for the curling team.In other sports news, we break down the beef between Logan Paul and Tom Brady, discuss the record breaking $31 million NASCAR purse, and marvel at the man who ran the Austin Marathon wearing full denim jeans and a belt. We also explain the UK phenomenon of the "Binfluencer"—the neighbor who signals which trash bin to put out—and wrap up with a heartwarming "No Bad News" story about United Airlines employees donating 15,000 Pokémon cards to a little boy who lost his binder.Craig and Erin's 10k Race Fundraiser - https://www.gofundme.com/f/craig-and-erins-10k-race-fundraiser?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGnvmYINh2KO3pxYerfMCtfbyvENMTBh35VD6EZyc3T8_e4EC9q21IXRZu_8LE_aem_7_Ht5StceFuJPpwZdI0Jzw
