It's a big week here on the show as we try to cram a bunch of curling news in! Our own Robbie is the brand-new PEI Mixed Champion, so we get into that before diving deep into the Scotties, as we recap Rachel Homan's continued dominance and who surprised us in the tournament (both good and bad). From there, it's Brier szn baby! We tee up what should be a great tournament with 5-7 teams all in it with a shot to win it, as we discuss Brad Gushue not being the clear favourite, who might dethrone him, that insane Pool A, and which team will sneak through the tightly packed Pool B to maybe surprise and make some noise in the playoffs.

Then, we are pleased to be joined by Christina Black, the newly-minted Scotties bronze medalist who overcame some very unique and trying circumstances to capture the hearts of curling fans with her and her team's performance. We ask her about what it was like to try to play a game knowing your teammate is dealing with an awful situation, what the bronze meant to them, what's led to their successful season, why they don't play more, and we learn why Christina won't eat pizza outside of Cape Breton.
