#102. Curling (1511)

Despite winning a gold medal at this year’s Olympic games in Pyeongchang, Americans don’t generally have a lot of affection for the sweet science of Curling, a sport that dates back to 16th century Scotland, and is awesome. Joe invites Andrew Kroepel back to the show to discuss their history with the sport, as well as the winter Olympic games overall. They get into theme music, girl scout cookies, proper nomenclature, bad winter Olympic sports, curling vs. mixed doubles curling, unlikely podiums, rules and scoring, reality show pitches, team roles, the universal language of the broom, hometown pride, Shaun White’s magical powers, and they invent a new version of curling sure to take the world by storm!
