About this episode
Didi and Lital discuss Team USA's historic Olympic hockey win, the quirks of Winter Olympics sports, and share travel stories from a blizzard-hit ski trip.
Didi and Lital open with winter complaints and excitement over Team USA beating Canada in men’s Olympic hockey for the first time in 46 years, winning in overtime on Jack Hughes’ goal, discussing Canada’s lineup choices, physical play, and the game’s huge audience. They riff on how bizarre many Winter Olympics sports seem (curling, biathlon, skeleton/luge, ski jumping) and debate differences between men’s and women’s sports, criticizing pressure to treat them as identical and noting politics around a president’s joke and White House invitations. The hosts recount a Europe ski trip hit by a major blizzard, Didi skiing despite five herniated discs and steroids, then getting stranded on the return trip when flights were disrupted, booking contingencies, staying at a Westin, renting a Jeep Grand Wagoneer, driving DC to Boston, and praising Mission Barbecue, concluding with lessons about planning, flexibility, and staying positive.
