This week’s episode was packed with laughs, judgment-free advice, and some truly outrageous stories from the rink!

• Recap of Last Week: We revisited tales of glory and shame from the ice and teased some juicy details about our new Vegas segment.
• Vegas Chatter: It started with a $100 bet that spiraled into a wild brainstorming session for new content ideas. Spoiler: Vegas doesn’t disappoint when it comes to inspiration.
• We Listen but We Don’t Judge: This segment reminded listeners that all stories—no matter how questionable—are welcome here.

The Main Event: 7 Deadly Sins of Beer League Hockey

• #1: Co-ed Locker Room Etiquette: Pro tip: A glance is okay; more than that? You’re officially “that guy” (or gal).
• #2: Vegas Showers: Pony walls are perfect for the “meat gazers” among us—apparently, it’s a whole thing.
• #3: Bench Beer Theft: A crime so heinous it should require league intervention. Seriously, don’t mess with another player’s brew.
