Never the Twins Shall Meet

51 – We Don't Know Anything About Hockey

Listen Later

For our first episode of 2026, we're discussing Heated Rivalry, the horny hockey romance show that recently took the internet by a storm. Topics include the compelling main relationship, our thoughts on the romance genre and book adaptations, and why we think the show was so successful. (And whether tuna melts are disgusting or a normal food.) And no, we did not learn anything more about hockey in preparation for this podcast!

Content Warnings: Discussions of homophobia and racism in professional sports environments.
