With Christmas creeping up this week, Zac and Murph close out the year in full holiday spirit. They dig into the traditions and cultural differences that shape their favorite time of year, the things that keep them up at night, and — because it's basically synonymous with Christmas for these two — plenty of hockey. A cozy, reflective wind-down to the season and the year.

The Christmas season is hectic, but Zac and Murph are leaning all the way into the coziness — sugar, hot chocolate, and full holiday mode. As they wind down the year, the guys look back on what made their Christmases special growing up, from family traditions to the little rituals that stuck, and trade some quality banter about what's coming next in their lives.

A warm, reflective end-of-year hang between one American and one Canadian. Full episodes on YouTube, highlights and shorts too, and support us on Patreon.

Murph is back after a few weeks in New York — and it left an impression. He gets into the culture of the city, the unfiltered, say-it-to-your-face nature of the people there, and what makes it feel like a different world. He also shares a behind-the-scenes look from visiting his dad, an assistant coach with the New York Rangers.

And because this is Maple Glazed, food takes center stage: Murph reviews some of New York's best bakeries and eats. The guys close out by looking ahead to their plans for the Christmas season — it's shaping up to be a good one.

Fat season is officially here. Thanksgiving lands this week, and even though Murph is heading out of town for the holiday, he brings plenty of stories — including a look at how Canadian Thanksgiving influences the whole affair and where the two countries' traditions diverge. Zac, still not over Halloween, gets into some of the new shows and movies he's been watching to fill the void.

It's a long, rambling American-Canadian conversation about why Thanksgiving might just be the cultiest holiday on the calendar. A doozy, as promised.

Murph is back after a few weeks away, and he's got life updates — for himself and for his brother Connor Murphy of the Chicago Blackhawks. He recaps his Halloween party and breaks down where the NHL season stands so far.

Meanwhile, Zac is in mourning: Halloween is officially over. Before he moves on, he recaps his trip to CK Autumnfest in West Virginia, looks ahead to the next run of holidays as its own kind of adventure, and gets into the state of American football recruiting overseas — who's landing where, and how the new European leagues are reshaping it.

Two friends, two countries, one guy who really doesn't want to let go of October. Full episodes on YouTube, highlights and shorts too, and support us on Patreon.

Zac and Murph kick off with listener questions — including a scouting-level breakdown of the Schwäbisch Hall Unicorns' defense and where the new European League of Football is expanding (Istanbul, maybe London, Amsterdam, Paris). Zac gets into why Ohio high school football might be the best in the country, and Murph recaps a fall day at an Ohio apple orchard, complete with Woodford-spiked cider slushies and a sauerkraut festival he narrowly missed.

Then it's full spooky season: favorite Halloween movies (Hocus Pocus, Halloween III, Carrie), the lost art of the Halloween-themed TV episode, whether Nightmare Before Christmas is actually a Christmas movie, and why the storyline scares beat the jumpscares every time. All filtered through one American who lives for October and one Canadian who's a little conflicted about the whole thing.

We made it to Episode 2 — barely. Zac and Murph get into the Newcastle United Saudi takeover (goodbye 1980, hello billions), Murph's questionable allegiance to Chelsea, and what a real English matchday looks like when the bar runs dry by 8:30. Then it's a full food detour: the Short North's mac-and-cheese melts, why European McDonald's actually tastes clean, and the sacred late-night street meat outside the club.

We also dig into the surprisingly deep history of Halloween in America (post-WWII candy booms, beggars' night, and why the rest of the world is only now catching on), Canadian Thanksgiving, and the eternal Christmas-creep debate. We close with a genuinely good back-and-forth on sports analytics — Ovechkin's one-timer, Moneyball, and why numbers can't quantify momentum, grit, or the human spirit.

Two friends, two countries, ninety minutes of tangents. Full episodes on YouTube, highlights and shorts too, and support us on Patreon.

The very first Maple Glazed episode, and we're figuring it out live. Zac (American, football coach) and Murph (half-Canadian, hockey guy) sit down with no script and see where it goes — which turns out to be everywhere. We get into the name (maple = Canada, glaze = fat Americans, blend to taste), why Squid Game is taking over everyone's feed, abandoned Ohio history and Revolutionary War forts, the OSU fan culture we've never understood, and Canada's reckoning with its residential-school history. Plus the eternal question: why won't Tim Hortons sponsor us yet?

Two friends, two countries, one long tangent. Watch full episodes on YouTube, catch highlights and shorts, and support us on Patreon.
