If these guys just stuck to hockey, I would love their content. Unfortunately, sports just can't be an escape anymore.
Jay Zawaski is a woke wussy.
Jay is a simp. He has believed everything the plantiffs' lawyer has said without question. And as time goes by things have been shown are not true or exaggerated. Go figure a lawyer lying and embellishing in a lawsuit, who knew.
commies talking hockey.
Only a leftist would care about Caleb's political views. Afraid a black man can think for himself?
"stab yourself with science" is the stupidest thing I've heard in awhile. you both are fools. stick to hockey morons
I read anything pertaining to " toxic culture ", and I immediately know I'm going into lefty garbage culture.
Jay being the social justice warrior yet again.
Jay's a good dude and his heart is in the right place, but it's guys like him that perpetuate the victimhood culture we currently find ourselves in. But the key is you have to be the right kind of victim to get the compassion.
Love the podcast. Discovered it this morning. UK fan of the Blackhawks - subscribed and looking forward to the season!
as someone who works late and misses so many games, this podcast keeps me updated on more than just the score. I like the insights on the players that I'm missing by not watching
