The 24th Winter Olympic Games are about to begin and who better to have on as a guest than an Olympic gold medalist.  John Shuster from Chisholm, MN will be the skipper for the US men’s Olympic curling team again this year and will be participating in his 5th Olympic games.  John and his US squad won the first ever curling Olympic gold medal for the United States back in 2018 and he is looking forward to defending their title in Beijing.  Also joining for this episode is my friend Jared Carver who joined for a couple of earlier episodes around the Summer Olympics.

We chat with John about what type of shape his gold medal is in, if he likes being mic’d up on the ice for a match and how the popularity of the sport of curling has taken off since they won the gold medal.
