Me and Ryan have been officially welcomed to the jungle that is basketball sports.
I brought it towards the Coyotes, and I asked them if it was okay if I joined the Spit and Chicklets podcast full-time.
Ryan Whitney's got a pink Whitney out there now. This is a standbagger. Get that on camera. Keith Yandel, the Sonk Man. Keith is a full-time member. Marley just got an assist from Chris Bates. Whoa, we're buzzing right now. Sonk. Oh my God, we did it. As we sit here right now, welcome to episode 623 of the Spit and Chicklets podcast. I am looking at Team Canada being put silver medals around their neck, which means Team USA wins. Climb the mountain. We own this game. We are the gold medal winners in the 2026 Winter Olympics.

It was there for us this weekend. It was there for Team USA all game. How do we even start? I want to just say I have never been more proud to be from the United States of America.

It lived up to every bit of hype. That was, that was the greatest hockey game I've ever watched. Right.
I mean that, that, uh, and we got to do it together, which made it even more special.
