In episode #5, we have an exclusive interview with Team Birr's John Benton and skip Todd Birr. Team Birr was successful in appealing to be included in the upcoming U.S. Olympic Trials after a recent U.S. Curling Association Judiciary Hearing Panel sided with Team Birr in a 2-1 vote (on Sept. 21, 2017).

​Birr and Benton talked about the long appeal process before the USCA, the crux of their argument in why they should've originally been selected for the Olympic Trials, overwhelming support from the curling community, new team member Hunter Clawson and now preparing to compete at the Trials in Omaha.

Plus our weekly roundtable as 2-time Olympian Jessica Schultz joins hosts Price Atkinson and Joe Calabrese!

And a great giveaway from our friends at Red Elephant Chocolates!

Red Elephant Chocolate’s sophisticated yet whimsical approach, premium products and ideal locations helped them become one of Wisconsin’s leaders in handcrafted chocolates. What sets them apart are their artistic truffles, small-batch caramels, imaginative flavors and distinctive specialties, including “Theobroma” - the world’s rarest chocolate - and the original “Big Cheese” cheddar truffle.

This week, we are giving you the chance to win a “Full House” Curling Themed set of chocolates from Red Elephant Chocolate.  It’s 17 total pieces - 16 curling stone shaped chocolates (8 dark, 8 milk) in a box that looks like a house with their signature elephant chocolate on the button.  To enter click on the win widget at the top of this page.  We will announce the winner next week.
