Moms Win at the Olympics, Taylor Swift Intro’s “Blade Angels”, and the Canadian Curling Scandal

(Almost) the entire pod is about the Olympics this week. Sorry, not sorry. Caroline and Blake beg the question: why are winter Olympic athletes so much more unhinged than the summer ones? From a Norwegian biathlete’s very public cheating confession to a gold medalist’s credit card fraud conviction, we dive deep into the most wild stories from the week.

In this episode, we also cover:

• Why the NFLPA can no longer publish its report cards publicly – and why that’s a loss for the league

• What Joe Judge gets wrong about fatherhood in Trinidad Chambliss’ eligibility testimony

• What Breanna Stewart’s off-season move to play in Turkey could mean for the WNBA season

• A Canadian curling scandal ft. the Swedish…surveillance state?
