2 For Chirping

DROOS is next up on the pod! Find out what the Cyclones leading scorer thinks of his favorite baseball team's upcoming season, MLB rule changes, statistical records in sports, how many shots (hockey shots we mean) he takes a day in the summer, and of course, opening night for the Cyclones and the scary moment Andrusiak encountered when getting hit in the face with a puck.

It's Two For Chirping, and we've got one of the biggest chirpers on the team joining us. Jalen Smereck is FULL of personality, whether it's his affection for wearing crocs or going in-depth on differences between playing in the ECHL vs AHL, or even testing his expertise on different waters (what?). We've got all that and more on the newest 2FC!

There's no love lost on this Valentine's Day edition of TFC as the bench boss, Coach Payne joins us on the pod. This episode was recorded following a, well, 'interesting' game between the Cyclones and Kansas City...don't worry, Payne is going to tell you EVERYTHING that happened. Later in this episode, we go down memory lane to the smoky sights and sounds in the old arena in Toledo, plus Payne shares some epic minor league hockey fan tales. It's another good ole episode of Two For Chirping!

Cyclones leading scorer Louie Caporusso returns to the pod to tell us about a big life update! We'll also talk about differences with today's generation of players compared to his when Caporusso was coming up in pro hockey, plus some advice Cappy's been given from Maple Leafs legend (and Justin Vaive's dad) Rick Vaive!

It's our first new pod of 2023 and Beck Warm is our guest! In this episode, the Cyclones goaltender talks about podcasts and comedians worth listening to, plus a tough situation for his first game with the AHL's Rochester Americans, and later in the episode, a touching story about his mother's battle with cancer. Catch the new, and most emotional TFC yet now. 

Josh Passolt jumps on the pod to talk about how he's a cheesehead (kinda), plus his crazy start to pro hockey, plus stay tuned toward the end to find out why Andrew isn't the only broadcaster on this podcast!

Wanna learn how to say something in Russian? Stay til the end of this podcast to find out. Before then, listen to the stories of Phil Lagunov, who credits a former head coach for his success in hockey. Lagunov's debut on the pod also talks about adjusting to life in a new city and the challenges of moving away from home, plus hear how Phil persevered and fought through an injury to continue playing at the top of his game in college. There's so much to talk about and take away from the newest TFC episode!

The Captain finally joins the pod! "Mr. Cincinnati" breaks down his love of Marvel and DC, talks about stops along his pro playing journey, and how he almost/kinda/sorta stumbled into becoming a pro wrestler! Hear from Vaiver like never before right here on 2FC!

On a special edition of TFC, Dennis and Judy Shepard come on to the Cyclones Podcast to share their touching, emotional story of the Matthew Shepard Foundation, named after their son, Matthew Shepard. This podcast delves into inclusivity and the need for such in our communities.

As the Cyclones inch closer to the team's annual Shutout The Hate Night on November 18, we hope this episode serves as a reminder that hockey is for everyone and that everyone should be treated equal.

It's the return of Two for Chirping! After an offseason hiatus, Cyclones Assistant Coach Alex Bezerra joins the pod in one of the most heavily edited and bleeped interviews yet. Enjoy the laughs (there are lots) the shoutouts, and more about the life and journey of Coach Bezerra to the Cincinnati Cyclones!
