    Curling Controversy, 'Hot People', and 10,000 Condoms: Olympics Update

    This week on The Bits, Quinn and Paulina cover everything from sports scandals to condom trucks, and a lot in between. They break down the latest curling cheating controversy involving Marc Kennedy and unpack how social media can quickly turn on athletes and their families. Then, in true Bits fashion, we have major vibe shift — Quinn and Paulina debate the hottest athletes at the Olympics and react to the headline-making 10,000 condoms delivered to the Olympic Village. It’s equal parts sports drama, internet chaos, and silly goosery.

    "Your penis is in jeopardy, fellas" : Inflategate at the Olympics

    The ladies break down a Super Bowl, including the Bad Bunny halftime show and what that says about the NFL right now. They then unpack Lindsey Vonn’s Olympic crash and the broader questions it raises about athlete identity, safety, and armchair "experts". From there, the conversation turns to “InflateGate” in ski jumping and the absurd lengths athletes will go for a competitive edge, before closing on Team Canada’s Olympic experience, particularly involving Hockey Canada — from the accommodations fuss to the polarizing jersey designs.
