The guys kick things off with a quick chat about the Scotties (3:00) and then discuss the lack of access to the tournament in the U.S. (9:30). They also talk about increasing the number of teams in the Scotties and Brier by looking at the top U25 team (19:30) and they dig inside the mailbag to answer a question about the residency rule and why it may still exist (24:35).

The guys chat with Olympic gold medalist, multi-time World Champion & Scotties winner, Joan McCusker (29:00). She talks about Sandra Schmirler, coaching Team Scheidegger at the Scotties, the frost in Kamloops, which provinces are starting to step up, hogline violations and she talks about the role of a coach outside the game. Plus, Kevin tells us a story about the 1991 Brier in Hamilton (56:00).
