We're back. We're back, and I'm not that loud because it's a snow day and my kids are home.

It's the dead cast. I'm Drew. That's Roth. Say hi, Roth.

Hi. And we have a very special guest, the wonderful Lauren Tyson, everybody.

Laurian!

Hey, guys, how's it going?

It's Lauren. Oh, my God. I just noticed she's right here. Yeah. Hey. Lauren's here because we're going to talk hockey in November. What more scintillating topic could there be, right, Tyson? Yeah, I'm going to leave for a little bit, but you guys have fun, obviously, with that.

Yeah, I was skeptical when you guys said you wanted, but you guys have fun, obviously, with that.

Yeah, I was skeptical when you guys said

you wanted to do two hours on just like November hockey. The Carolina Panthers. Carolina Hurricanes. No, the Carolina Panthers. Oh, the minor league team? Yeah. Okay. I actually watched hockey last night. I watched the Capitals play the Jets. Let me tell you something.

There was a pronounced lack of difference in urgency

between November hockey and like May hockey. Yeah, I mean, the Caps didn't even start Holfi. So like that entire game was a wash. But, oh, well. How does a hockey game get played at low intensity? How does that, what does it look like? There's a lot less checking. It's like the number one thing. So they're just kind of skating in circles? I mean, there's just like, yeah, there's less like inclination towards violence or there's less tempers or whatever, yeah. And it's more, it's more likely that you'll have like a poor quality goalie in. That makes that awesome P.K. Subon highlight from like last week make more sense where he was

like where a guy was trying to fight him and he's like, yeah, okay, you can call me a pussy or whatever. You're awful at hockey dude. And it just like skates away, which I thought... Yeah, PKC. Subun's fantastic. Yeah. So by May they would actually be fighting, but now they're just sort of like, no, dude.

It's not even Thanksgiving yet.

Yeah, exactly.

There's no reason to get injured for, yeah, a November game.

I just like it because the hockey bros are always like,

oh, well, a November game.

I just like it because the hockey bros are always like, oh, well, LeBron can't play with a broken leg. That's cute. Meanwhile, it's 82 games of patty cake. Unless you're Tom Wilson. If you're Tom Wilson, I mean, he was suspended for the first 20 or not 14 or whatever. but he was really itching to get back out there.

He got in a fight in his very first game back.

And that was awesome. I mean, he was suspended for the first 20 or not 14 or whatever. But he was really itching to get back out there.

He got in a fight in his very first game back. And that was awesome. I was really proud of that. NHL dude gets suspended for 20 games. I was 14. It was a preseason hit on the Sky Oscar Sunbird. That was like pretty dirty. And he's Tom Wilson, so he's like a repeat offender. Okay. So this was like, I think his third time getting suspended in the last 18 months.

Yeah, Tom Wilson's a fucker.
