1 star show
The BLPA Big Show
Wondering if the chart bottoming goal of best lowest-rated podcast is going to come back to bite us. But we're going for it. And so was the chat today. We swear we had important things to say today but everyone else was funnier than we were. We talked why New Year's resolutions are dumb, why they're great, a quick game of either-or faceoff, and then had 4 random people join the podcast because they could.

Secret Admirers
The BLPA Big Show
Alert alert 🚨 Nick has a secret admirer and it's NOT himself (allegedly). We got a mysterious email from a loyal lonely girl and while we're protecting the identity, we must get to the bottom of this. We also dive into Nick's new NHL team, get a guest on who designs hockey jerseys, and have some more guest hot takes. Thanks for being heeeeere!

Last Stache - 5 Stars
The BLPA Big Show
On the last week of Nick's mustache chronicles...we got into a beer league hockey scuffle story with a twist you didn't see coming, shared mashed potato take, fixed some NHL logos (shout out Predators), and tell you how you can win free jerseys for your whole teammmmmm! U r the best. Brought to you by Come skate with us: Merch: https://beerleagueplayers.com/
info_outlineNICK. IS. ALIVE!!! We hear the harrowing tale of his nearish-death experience in Iceland. Was it a mirage or were there really attractive Icelandic nurses pumping his IVs and leaving him in the hallway for hours on end? Was it a hallucination or did he in fact rip out his own tubes and walk out of the hospital unsupervised? Plus, a new take on whether ring/cup culture is ruinning how we talk about athletes, testing Nick's hockey vocab knowledge, and why you need to show up to a tournament (becuase it's not every day that Nick gets a second chance at life)
