GOLD MEDALS & POST-OLYMPIC BLUES

Olympic joy, heartbreak, and chaos all in one episode. Billie Jean King joins Julie and Abby fresh off Milan to break down Team USA’s record gold medal haul, Norway’s dominance, and why American women delivered two-thirds of the medals. From Hillary Knight’s gold-medal magic to Chloe Kim’s sportsmanship, Elana Meyers Taylor’s pure joy, and the wild ski-jumping “Penisgate” controversy, nothing’s off limits. Plus: post-Olympic blues, big-moment letdowns, and Julie’s fourth attempt to finally beat Abby in Minute to Win It. Will she ever win?
