"From mini golf, all the way to regular golf." Yeah, that just about covers it.

except for maxi golf

[@brianpclare]

@@OlieB kinda just meant that as a joke, but wouldn't it basically be irish road bowling? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_road_bowling

Surferball: The modern non-Scandinavian biatholon. Shooting + Skiing = cold, uses guns, expensive Subway surfer + dodgeball = not in the snow, no guns, cheap, has weedsnipes The winner here is clear.

[@uniboy13]

Biathlon wins 2-1!

The words "gaping sweaty hole" aren't words I was hoping to hear today. Thanks BDG. 10/10.

An unraveled episode that doesn’t end in Brian having a mental breakdown over Nintendo characters? Impossible

brian’s hair is just going to be thigh length by the time covid actually ends

"As Polygon's resident jock" Bro Simone is right there.

[@nstewart1623]

The worst part is that the's probably the closest fit to resident jock. Like, maybe Jenna is she did track in high school, but otherwise, he's the resident jock. He truly is.

[@a7fog324]

explain??

[@whoknows6983]

lol what about pat

[@Montykins]

Kicking extremely high is definitely a jock skill

[@LordGame2222]

@a7fog the staff at polygon is, by and large, a bit ummm... bookish. Bookish is a good word. None of them are really "jocks" per se, but we know that Brian is physically active, at least. So he kind of wins by default.

[@genuineinterest]

@@a7fog324 Polygon crew is just a bunch of complete nerds with such chaotic theatre kid/band kid/gamer energy, it's hard to think of any of them as jocks. Especially bdg tbh, which I guess is the joke here. I mean he loves to kick, and he can dance like hell, but I don't think that's really the same lmao

“Epic pog moment” -Brian David Gilbert -my yearbook quote

[@jayl9110]

Brian and Kofie's absolutely giddy giggles of joy while playing that game are a) so wholesome and b) almost certainly the cure for any bad mood ever

[@wimzeekul2147]

I would pay good money to hear Brain say "epic pog moment", and here he's giving it to us for free.

[@TonkarzOfSolSystem]

Jenna is actually amazing at commentary. It's actually really hard to do!

[@jackbingham3338]

I love it when the ending of an Unraveled episode fills me with joy as opposed to concern for Brian and existential dread

[@lillalachrimae]

44 seconds in and I'm already cackling over "eh sports"

[@clairification7206]

As a theater kid who loves sports and recently got into esports, the true answer to this question is jugger, the greatest sport you've never heard of.
