## Resource

Today at the lunch table, PJ and Mike break down the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo. The boys debate the ultimate question: Which is better — the Winter or Summer Olympics? From the intensity of women’s hockey to the strategy and drama of curling (including Canada’s latest controversy), plus biathlon grit and speed skating chaos. Mike also takes a nostalgic trip back to grade school Olympics lessons and classic Olympic video games like Nagano Winter Olympics '98.
