Show notes

The guys react to a shocking moment at the Winter Olympics as a heavily favored U.S. figure skater falls twice in his routine and later admits the moment may have been too big. That sparks a broader conversation about the “yips” in sports — why elite athletes suddenly lose it under pressure and the psychology behind choking in the biggest moments. The crew shares famous examples and debates whether it’s mental, mechanical, or just human nature when the stakes get highest.
