Come along with us to Seattle, where the bright lights and new arenas dazzle Bec and the Penguins once again disappoint Jes. In this episode, we rehash everything lovely and horrible that happened at the Penguins vs. Kraken game (including Bec saying PPG Paints Arena SUCKS and is OLD and UGLY and NEEDS TO CLEAN THEIR GLASS) before discussing the recent Twitter discourse over if women are allowed to be real hockey fans when they only watch hockey for Certified Hot Guys Roman Josi and Tyler Seguin. We discuss both the curse of being on Twitter [universal] and the curse of seeing the Pens lose [seemingly unique to Jes]. Bec comes out as a linguistic prude, whatever that means (and we don't believe her). Kit joins us in spirit via a direct quote from a past episode. Jes advocates for the emergence of women's beach volleyball fanfiction. The fourth wall might be dead. Don your mourning clothes and tune in as we figure out how the hell to do fandom without it.
