BLTShow

If you think April looks and/or sounds different today, it's not only because she has the flu — it's also because she's not here! Coach Rob pinch hits and joins Dani and Nick to mull over what's the big deal with that Gillellte commercial. Nick apologizes to someone (GASP!) and rants about airlines, and Dani shares a cautionary tale about how she accidentally took over GM'ing a team.

The BLT crew is back for the first official show of 2019, but has anything changed? Nick gets them ranting about food that's discontinued, which is pretty typical. Lots of tournaments coming up where you can play with or against the hosts, so sign up for one to prove you're not a butt baby. And as a surprise twist, they actually talk about hockey. Thanks to viewer Junie for asking BLT what the etiquette is when you're playing a team whose goalie is running late.

 

Team BLT wrapped up 2018 by making Nick record by himself.... and he loved it! Nick skipped out on a portion of Dani's New Year's Eve party to give the fans what they want..... FREE STICKS! Nick answered listener questions from the BLT forum and announced the winners of the free sticks. And the WINNERS ARE..... You'll have to listen to find out. It's been a great year and we appreciate every single one of you.

Lets Get It in 19!

We have a problem with you people and now you're gonna hear about it. Gather round the festivus sniper stick and listen to Nick, Brett, Jay, and Dani air their grievances of each other, referees, and even some BLT fans. The boys also share their hockey resolutions for 2019. Could this be the last episode of 2018? Maybe... thus you should enjoy!

What do you do when you're the GM assembling a tournament team and one of your friends starts inviting whoever they want? Do April and Nick dish out swift justice? And what is Dani putting at the top of her Christmas tree after this week's road game? Plus, we're getting jacked for some tournaments coming up really soon, including playing with Team BLT in Florida at the start of 2019.

No, listening to our show is not some form of cruel and unusual form of hazing. We do cover the crew’s hazing stories this week and reflect back on the days of AOL chat rooms. 3 guesses on how Dani’s first AOL date went.

Nick, Dani, and April cover the LA Draft Tournament, 2019 tournaments, and ponder whether they could fight off active shooters with their incredible clap bombs.

In Episode 164 this show gets professional... like real professional. Nick chats with former pro Bill Keenan about his book, Odd Man Rush. Bill talks about how he found himself on a European professional team, his crazy locker room stories, and how he handled the cultural differences of playing in a different country.

Sorry fans, it's not what you think. But you'll be thoroughly disgusted none the less as Nick, April and Dani regale you with the stories of the first time they ever threw up from drinking. On the actual hockey-related front, the crew wants to take a swing at those teams no one wants to play after Dani's team was on the receiving end of some dangerous cheap shots. Plus, one fan asked what we budget when we go to a tourney so tune in for how easily we blow our budgets on every trip.

Dani and Nick record a very special episode on location in Phoenix after wrapping up another draft tournament — and they're joined by friend of the show Duffy. The big question of the day is: How drunk is too drunk to play hockey? Settle in for some guest interviews where we put players on the hot seat for missing games this weekend.
