Olympians Hilary Knight and Brittany Bowe join the party fresh off one of the most surreal weeks of their lives: winning Olympic gold, breaking records, appearing on late night TV…and getting engaged.

Hilary, captain of Team USA hockey, reflects on winning gold while playing through a torn MCL and becoming the all-time leading scorer in U.S. Olympic women’s hockey history. Brittany, a world-record speed skater and four-time Olympian, shares what it was like watching the gold medal game from the stands, and the emotional moment Hilary tied the game with less than two minutes left.

The two also tell the incredible behind-the-scenes story of their Olympic Village proposal, Brittany’s legendary act of sportsmanship that helped teammate Erin Jackson win historic gold in Beijing, and what it’s like watching the person you love compete on the world’s biggest stage.

Plus: a chaotic round of Party Poppers (Couples Edition) where we learn who’s more competitive, who’s the bigger trash talker, and which Olympian might come out of retirement for the 2030 Games.
