The guys give an update on the Grand Slam results (4:50), who has qualified for the Scotties and Brier (11:15), Kevin googles himself live on air (14:00), Warren gives an update on the World University Games in Lake Placid, NY (14:45), they chat 8 end games vs 10 end games (23:10), some of the oddest and outdated rules in curling (31:35) and how they choose the games that get broadcasted from an event (33:15).

The guys then catch up with Canadian Open champion, Brendan Botcher, about finding their flow (36:40), the competitive nature of the team, playing with powerful sweepers, the development of youth players in Canada and he gives his thoughts on the new Players Association.
