Girl 2 rejoins Girl 1 for episode 12 of season 8.
There’s Something About Mary as G2 is back from a grind of a week commentating for the Ontario STOH and Tankard provincial championships. She dishes about the host town, the venue, the event, the people, and her commentary colleagues, plus the sights, sounds and observations from a great seat in the house.
The Girls also discuss the no-tick rule before dissecting the results in Port Elgin, which are followed by mention of a real-life flashback: a COVID case, which prompted a competing team to withdraw.
Then it’s on to the plethora of other provincial championship results that made this past week and weekend one of the most attractive for those savvy enough to watch livestreams via the internet.
Enjoy the episode, and stay safe!
Girl 1 welcomes “Girl 3” for episode 11 of season 8 … as amazing guest host Daryell Nowlan returns.
(Girl 2 is busy commenting for the Ontario STOH/Tankard provincial livestream coverage.)
Lori and Daryell waste no time in catching up, and talk about Team Andrea Kelly’s big provincial STOH win in New Brunswick. This leads to a discussion between two coaches (Lori described her U18 provincial coaching efforts in episode 10) as well as the difference between winning a provincial title and cashspiels on the World Curling Tour.
The Alberta women’s provincial championship was fully discussed, as both hosts were thrilled with the stunning finish on the last stone of the championship final. Faithful listeners are encouraged to head to The Curling News website (https://www.si.com/curling/2-girls-and-a-game) to watch the shot in the embedded media player as you listen!
Our hosts then barrel through a variety of topics—the FISU World University shootout, U18s, Curling Canada’s hints that big changes are coming, and a new pregnancy addendum in Canada’s championship player guide (!). Naturally, there has to be predictions for the remaining provincial men’s and women’s winners.

The Girls are back, and after some initial catching up, Lori and Mary are off into the 2023 world of curling podcasts.
First up is a retrospective look at some of the biggest curling stories of 2022. We agree with Lori when she is shocked to realize the Beijing Olympics were held just a few months ago—it does feel like many years ago!
Then comes a look at current curling stories and discussion topics, including the results from a recent 2 Girls and a Game online poll.
The 2 Girls conclude with a predictive look at the fields for Canada’s upcoming STOH and Tankard provincial championships.
