Welcome back, Athletes! Winter Olympics 2026 really was for the girls. This week, Kennedy takes us through the final moments in Milan Cortina - including the giggle heard round the world by the most decorated freestyle skier on the planet, Eileen Gu. Then it’s on to iceskating with the performance of a lifetime from Alyssa Liu. The impact of her free skate touched the world and got her to the gold exactly the way she wanted to do it. The sheer joy and the camaraderie between the figure skaters was exactly what we all needed. In hockey news, the US women’s hockey team took home the gold over their heated rivals, Canada. Laila Edwards became the first Black woman to play for the U.S. Women's National Hockey team AND take home the gold. Get your 2026 Bingo Cards out, because the US women's hockey team has even been invited to celebrate in Las Vegas, and Flava Flav is footing the bill!

Welcome back, Athletes! It's the biggest sports weekend of 2026, and your favorite cohosts are bringing it all to you! First off, congratulations to the Seattle Seahawks who beat the New England Patriots at Super Bowl LX! Kennedy was our dancing shoes on the ground correspondent, and she had her finger on the pulse of the winner's city! Benito Bowl brought the world to a halt with the power of love, community, and unity. There's so much to discuss!
The Olympics were off to the races in Milan-Cortina (that two cities for those of you paying attention!) with Team USA bringing home an early gold in team figure skating. Skiing, curling, spinning coffee pots on stage - it was all happening in Italy. Your favorite cohosts highlight the iconic Surya Bonaly's 1998 Olympic backflip, which made everything we're seeing with the Quad God today possible.
Last but certainly not least, Unrivaled gets ready for the 1v1 tournament and releases a few big trades. Kennedy somehow watched every single game this weekend - and for that we salute you! Stick around for the Tunnel Walk of the Week and Jenna's extremely obvio Put Me In Coach!

Welcome back, Athletes! There's so much going on this week that we could barely fit it into one episode! Jenna can't speak about anything, and Kennedy tries out for the Iditarod. The PWHL broke attendance records in DC, while on the west coast, the PWHL's Seattle Torrent hosted Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Malala Yousafzai. I guess it's true - everyone watches women's sports. And don't worry, because Kennedy was skates on the ground at Climate Pledge for that moment! Meanwhile, it's Week #3 of Unrivaled, and we're starting to get to know these teams. Kennedy takes us to the runway for Tunnel Walk of the Week, and Jenna has a PMIC honorable mention.
