Host Price Atkinson is back this week but "The Godfather" Joe Calabrese is not. He's en route from Rochester, NY to Kalamazoo, MI with the TESN goods and equipment with the 2019 U.S. Curling Nationals starting Saturday.

But Price welcomes Team Persinger skip Rich Ruohonen who begged to get back on in order to acquire the podcast bump and slipped Price a few $$$$ in order to make it happen. And we also catch you up on last week's Curling World Cup and our podcast schedule from next week while at Nationals!
