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.  Come skate with us: https://blpa.com/ Merch: https://beerleagueplayers.com/ 

SeE yOu NeXt YeArRrRr! After some professional yapping, we talked over/underrated hockey trends and events of 2025, a "What would you do?" scenario, and all the resolutions we'll give up in the first 4 days of 2026.  You rock the modern world.  Come skate with us: https://blpa.com/ Merch: https://beerleagueplayers.com/ 

We fiiiiinally narrow down Nick's new NHL team to cheer for, discuss our viral moments, and give a juicy update on the secret admirer. Things got a little craaaazayyy today but the chat was chirpin, the girls were girlin, and Nick was eating meat and cheese.  Come skate with us: https://blpa.com/ Merch: https://beerleagueplayers.com/ 

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!  Come skate with us: https://blpa.com/ Merch: https://beerleagueplayers.com/ 

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 TheBrandGamewear.com Come skate with us: https://blpa.com/ Merch: https://beerleagueplayers.com/ 

They thought we were on gummies tonight. We were, but not the weeeeeeeed kind. And not the blue chew kind either (but maybe next week). We did poetry or noetry, discussed a new NHL team for Nick to support (and learned some crazy things about the Wild logo), shared some hockey facts that seem fake annnnnd unveiled some of the sweet DEX jerseys coming up.  Good times were had by some.  Come skate with us: https://blpa.com/ Merch: https://beerleagueplayers.com/ 

Professional yappers are back and they're yappin. All things Tahoe—we spilled some of the tournament tea—new guest hot takes, what you wish you knew sooner (it got kinda deep), a BLPA secret santa, and allllll of the upcoming DEX and Bash tournaments YOU should come to. Come skate with us: https://blpa.com/ Merch: https://beerleagueplayers.com/ 

Makin deals with the devil...aka what would you do to be able to make six figures playing hockey? Turns out Nick would do a lot. We fought jet lag, talked Halloween costumes, and got into sex hotels. Well, not literally into them. But you know. Or maybe you don't. Anyway we love you!  Come skate with us: https://blpa.com/ Merch: https://beerleagueplayers.com/ 

Warning: we got kinda deep today?? Deep in octopussy balls, deep in the feels, deep in Japan talk...Nick gave us a live, real-time fake mukbang review of some of the killer food he's getting in Japan, we crack open "We're Not Really Strangers" and ask some vulnerable questions, and get some beer league frustrations off our chest.  Come skate with us: https://blpa.com/ Merch: https://beerleagueplayers.com/ 

Things got weird. We were all Delilah vibes tonight and got lost in the intimacy of dim lights and close mics. Highs and lows from Lake Placid (including a near on-ice 💩 situation), what's happening in Japan, and a beer league rebus game that had the chat getting into it.  Come skate with us: https://blpa.com/ Merch: https://beerleagueplayers.com/ 

We got into all things tournament recaps and upcoming DEXes, where Nick is flying with his millions of miles, and lots of chat activity today. We also chatted when it's time to move up (or down) a division and playing with longevity in mind. Find the last part of our BLPA *after dark* chat on Patreon!

This just in: a non hockey player put on hockey skates for the first time...AND GOT ON THE ICE. See the video before it goes viral worldwiiiiiiide (or something). Now Nick has to find something else to be a pest about! We also talked loooooong flight delays, gave some mouth hugs (Irish style), and shared some sweet/funny/drunken pictures and videos of the BLPA members' favorite on-ice flexes.

Nobody panic, it's just Nick's life dream happening in real time...3/5 hockey guy just became 3.5/5 hockey guy. It's almost danglin time! We went deep on some potential beer league mascots for different states, something we got wrong for a long time (or convinced our siblings was true but wasn't) , a historical pic of Nick that ended in 💩 jokes, and broke down highs and lows of THE Columbus BLPA tourney. 

An actual heads up on when we're live? Groundbreaking. Speaking of breaking...RIP to Nick's front tooth. But it made for some funny Nictionary games. We chatted all things beer league hockey locker room types, the most work you've done for the least amount of money, and states with the best pizza. The chat was chattin today...love it!

Are you a chatter, an audio book-er, or a passenger princess? Because what makes the best (or worst) roadtrip partner? We also chatted a new hot take from a mystery guest, some of the biggest beer league pet peeves, and howo Nick managed to lose his camera (yes, again, but this time not his fault). Get it together, airlines.  Come skate with us: https://blpa.com/ Merch: https://beerleagueplayers.com/  

If ever there was a time we needed HR on the show...today would be it. We had on the legendary Tom Hutchison, stand-out star of our BLPA drip segment and the stories he told were...A LOT. We don't even know what to rate this episode honestly. In case you were looking for more stories about a Borat-vibed thong in a fancy shmancy hotel, look no further. In his own words, his mom is already disappointed enough.  Come skate with us: https://blpa.com/ Merch: https://beerleagueplayers.com/   Send us your beer league drama: nick@blpa.com or jillian@blpa.com

As if we needed more proof that the BLPA community really is the 🐐...you guys SHOWED OUT this week. We wanted to see some pictures of your favorite beer league drip (on or off ice) and boy were we not disappointed. Above and beyond in ways only a lime green Borat-style thong can demonstrate. And it did. If you were hoping for a burly man on a treadmill in said thong...your wish is granted. We showed pics of some of our faves, got  video explanations from the wearers themselves, and cracked up multiple times. We even had guest host Sue the goalie join for some things that would put you on the DND (do not draft) list. Finally an episode you don't wanna miss ;)  Come skate with us: https://blpa.com/ Merch: https://beerleagueplayers.com/   Send us your beer league drama: nick@blpa.com or jillian@blpa.com

NICK. 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) Come skate with us: https://blpa.com/ Merch: https://beerleagueplayers.com/ Send us your beer league drama: nick@blpa.com or jillian@blpa.com
