After a bleak ending to Part 3, we cleanse the palate with the question: what if dril was a professional athlete tweeting under his own name? And got a lucrative media career out of it? And that's what leads us to our final Hockey Guy of the series: Paul "BizNasty" Bissonnette.

Links I promised to include: the first collection of Biz tweets, the second collection of Biz tweets, and Biz's full "Road Warriors" episode.

In the first full, proper episode of this series, Nicole finally gets to discover who Sean Avery is—and why she's being forced to learn about him. We explore the whole continuum of Hockey Decorum, including: how quickly you can alienate 28 teams in a 30-team league, how to navigate situations of you or your opponents marrying a sister-in-law, and the kind of violation of established norms that forces them to change the rulebook on your behalf.

I'm not currently in a place where I can record any interjections, so here are a few addenda/corrections:

• This episode was recorded in May. I am fully aware that, yes, the Oilers did fail to win the Cup again this year.
• Stan Bowman was the General Manager of the Blackhawks, and now of the Oilers. I don't know why I overthought that.
• The former Chicago Blackhawks video coach, Brad Aldrich, "has never faced charges for his alleged abuse of Blackhawks players, but in December 2013, he pleaded guilty to fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct in a case involving a 16-year-old high school hockey player in Michigan. Prosecutors dropped a felony count. Aldrich was released from jail in 2014." [Source: Global News]
• As far as I can tell, no one was eliminated in Week 1 of Dancing With The Stars. So, that means Avery was eliminated at the first possible opportunity.
• The notorious incident with Brian Trottier and Kevin Stevens yelling misogynist and homophobic insults at Brian Bellows was from the 1991 Stanley Cup Finals, not the early 1980s.

Less than a year after getting out of the Tim Horton dungeon, Nicole is once again locked in a room to forcibly learn about the intersection of hockey guys, bad vibes, and questionable decisions. But first, we have to take a little time to thank each and every one of the show's wonderful, lovely patrons.

This one is a little different than usual—we spent a lot of time goofing around, so what was planned to be the intro section of Part 1 got spun off into its own entire episode. If you are All Business and want to get straight to the Prepared Content, you can jump right ahead to the 0:30:28 mark.

Plains Cree teacher Lisa Auger is on the show to tell us about: Plains Cree! Bush Cree! Other dialects of Cree! We talk about the forces that have tried to put indigenous languages down, the forces that have been trying to lift indigenous languages up, and of course: we learn how to say "dick."

Kelly reunites with Emily, an old co-worker from many years back, to reminisce about Edmonton and talk about how Wayne Gretzky sucks. Also there's some stuff in there from a right-wing politician about how much she loves Gretzky, but who cares?
