  • Milano Cortina 2026 (Part 2)

    Milano Cortina 2026 (Part 2)
    Feb 26 2026
    Kelsey and Gen have gone fully rogue — no documentary this week, just pure Olympic chaos. From a wolf dog crashing the cross-country course to record-breaking medal counts, overtime hockey heartbreak (and triumph), Michaela Shiffrin’s redemption arc, and Alysa Liu’s joyful return to the top of figure skating, this is our wrap-up of Milano-Cortina 2026. Records fell. Tears flowed. Espresso martinis were consumed. We regret nothing.

  • Qualified (2026) and Milano Cortina

    Qualified (2026) and Milano Cortina
    Feb 17 2026
    This week, Qualified gives Kelsey and Gen the perfect excuse to talk Winter Olympics. The short doc follows eight women battling for four spots on the 2026 U.S. Olympic moguls team, offering a quick but compelling look at camaraderie, pressure, and what it takes to qualify for the biggest stage in winter sports. From there? All bets are off. They unpack Milano Cortina’s biggest moments so far: surprise podiums, comeback crashes, lots of medals, snow art, curling controversy, and of course THAT post-race interview.

  • Surviving Ohio State (2025)

    Surviving Ohio State (2025)
    Feb 9 2026
    In this episode, Kelsey and Gen get dark and personal discussing Surviving Ohio State, the HBO Max documentary directed by Eva Orner, in conjunction with writer/producer Jon Wertheim, writer of the 2020 Sports Illustrated article that this documentary is based on. Surviving Ohio State looks at the decades-long abuse scandal surrounding Ohio State University and team doctor Richard Strauss, and the athletes who were ignored when they tried to speak up. Through survivor testimony, investigative reporting, and institutional records, the documentary traces how complaints were buried, reputations were protected, and harm was allowed to continue.
