Brier Watch Party - Part 2 of 2

Part 2 of 2

Joel Dietz, Mike McDermid and Garret Perry are joined by Tyler George, Saskatchewan Brier skip Matt Dunstone gives us a view inside the Calgary bubble. Chelsea Carey joins us later in the show. She and Tyler get into a great discussion about how the top teams are using the new 5 rock rule. The episode is a little long so it had to be divided up into two parts. It was recorded while we watched the Wednesday afternoon draw of Jason Gunnlaugson vs Brad Jacobs but the game wasn't that exciting so we talked about other things.
