The tears, the storylines and the epic conclusion – with video and photos to enhance your podcast experience

Touch screen to de-mute, adjust volume etc.

In the 14th episode of Season 11, Lori and Mary recap the 2026 Brier: the tears, the storylines and the epic conclusion with Manitoba’s Team Matt Dunstone breaking though and winning the Brier title. 

The Girls discuss the celebration, the interviews and the heartbreak of Team Kevin Koe being so close to former glory.  There were so many moments that caught the girls’ attention – including the farewells from Brad Gushue and most of Team Quebec – and they discuss them all.  

A couple of non-Brier stories are also discussed: Lori and Mary listened to an interview from Ben Hebert discussing “boopgate” at the Olympics, they discuss Emma Miskew’s reveal of why Team Homan did not compete at the Scotties. 

Both players were super-candid, so the 2 Girls give an official shoutout to the players and media who told these stories. 

As usual, a pile of photos and videos are embedded in the media player file, to provide a fully enhanced podcast experience.

Enjoy the episode, which can also be viewed on The Curling News YouTube channel.
