This week the guys are recording on location in advance of The Crosstown Challenge, held every year between The Royal Canadian Curling Club and The High Park Club. The guys decided to venture into challenger territory and record this week's episode from the lounge at the HPC, resulting in some impromptu guests and even more impromptu comments from the peanut gallery.

The coaches are back together this week for another episode! We look at the Stu Sells Toronto Tankard, and the Penticton Classic in detail. We also look ahead to the Grand Slam of Curling in Victoria. We had recorded an interview with our very special and first ever guest, but due to some technical difficulties we have had to postpone their interview until next week.

Rob has been away too long, this week Kevin and Chris get distracted talking about the second most favourite thing after curling, watching curling and gambling on the results. After a review of our week in the curling world we get into a detailed description on how to play the great curling spectator game called "Ends". This leads to some debate, some laughter, and someone with a big bar tab.

This week we are a coach down, but we still have lots of opinions. This week Kevin and Chris review what happened this past weekend at the Okotoks Classic. We look forward to the Collingwood Challenger and the Prestige Hotels & Resorts Curling Classic in Vernon BC. In our views from the hack we discuss the Canadian Team Ranking System along with some exciting correspondence that Extra Ends has received.

The guys have a lot of fun this week as Kevin gives us the report from directly behind the glass after the Shorty Jenkins Classic in Cornwall, ON. We look at a couple of events on the calendar this coming week and there is some discussion about how the new iteration of top-level teams are starting the gel. In Coaches Corner Rob goes into a detailed analysis on the relationship between sweepers and their skip and how better to bridge that communication gap.

This week the guys give a little more context as to why they have chosen now to start a podcast. Hint: It isn't just the mid-life crisis thing. We review the Stu Sells Oakville Tankard as well as the Saville Shootout. Looking ahead we talk about the Shorty Jenkins and the Saville Grand Prix. Coaches Corner has an in-depth discussion on ice making and we pay tribute to the memory of Margaret McDonald with Kevin telling about three curling predictions she made over 40 years ago that have come true.
