From The Hack

Welcome to From The Hack curling podcast, part of The Curling News/Sports Illustrated partnership,

[From The Hack @FromTheHack]

@TSN_Sports Vic was kind enough to join me on the podcast twice. He is a terrific storyteller, and having him on the pod was a highlight of our ten-year run. Like most people, I will certainly miss his "...make the final" and, or course, his voiceovers of the montages at the ned of events.

@nicsulsky @Shoostie2010 It's changing, Nic, but for a while there, in the late 2010s/early 2020s, most curling scrums were pretty formulaic, "media training" type stuff, especially during big events. "Sticking to our process" would have made for a great drinking game cue back then. :)

@mikeharriscurls I'm at $2.9 mil in a "one and done" pool this season, sadly, none of that is real money. 😉

[From The Hack @FromTheHack]

@cullenoncurling Totally agree!! The curling talent under the age of 30 that has stepped away from the sport in Canada over the past 3 or 4 years should be a huge red flag.

@stoakleyaudio @Devin_Heroux You missed a classic! Did flip over once or twice to see grass and the Blue Jays! 😄

@HansFrauenlob The key, as always, is whatcomes next. Will curling fall into its usual rhythm of being one of the breakout sports of the Olympics only to fall into relative obscuirty amongst the larger sporting populous between Olympiads? Time will tell!

@C_hodgy @nicsulsky @cullenoncurling Filthy...

[From The Hack @FromTheHack]

@BenSteiner00 The good part… Marc does not care, nor should he.

[From The Hack @FromTheHack]

@cullenoncurling If you give me a 10% commission, I'll forward you all my non-curling friends in my DM's doing the same thing! 😆

[From The Hack @FromTheHack]

@blaing99 @realhankMC @reidt4 Ben is 64, probably still runs 100m in 12 seconds or so? Yup, Marc would likely be taking 2nd in that one! 🤣

[From The Hack @FromTheHack]

@blaing99 @realhankMC @reidt4 You should visit the parts of Twitter where they are comparing Marc to Ben Johnson! Wild...

[From The Hack @FromTheHack]

@studiomccann @NBCOlympics @NBCSports Both parents come from lines of elite curlers in Switzerland so chances are that's a future Olympian right there. 😉🥌

[From The Hack @FromTheHack]

@curlingtuck @blaing99 @koreydropkin I'm all good with it. That said, if we ever see a 5th-end break donnybrook between teams at the Brier, we'll know the curling emotion and intensity have "jumped the shark." 🤣

[From The Hack @FromTheHack]

@PhilShryock @cullenoncurling Tell that to Kevin Koe who was 43 before getting to the Olympics or Jenn Jones who was 40. Have a great evening!

[From The Hack @FromTheHack]

@PhilShryock @cullenoncurling I agree with Korey being a good rep for the sport. I do have to chuckle at your line about "how long he has waited for the chance to represent his country." He's 30! 🤣 Enjoy the final!

[From The Hack @FromTheHack]

@RichelleBrady @SickosCommittee Yup… brain fart on my part…

[From The Hack @FromTheHack]

@cameronb5157 @SickosCommittee Yes… brain fart on my end.

Random curling fact - 10 years ago today, Brad Gushue took the face plant heard around the curling world at a Grand Slam event… went to a hospital to get stitched up and was back before the game ended! @TeamGushue #CanadianTough
