The BLPA Big Show

Put on the foil with us for an actual good episode featuring the legendary Dave Hanson from Slap Shot! He shares the unforgettable story of meeting Paul Newman in his underwear, gives us the benefit of doubt with an absolute mess of a "Real or Fake Quote" mini-game, and reveals some lesser-known tales from filming the iconic movie. We’ll also break down the latest in Fantasy Football, as Jason jumps in to discuss their moneyline ventures while Jillian takes the opportunity to do her daily Wordle—what's your starting word? Nick recaps the Charleston tournament, spills on the XXX tours he took, and teases the upcoming Hershey tournament—complete with a...salacious moment involving Hershey’s syrup. We chat about the best beer league team names we’ve come across, the new t-shirt trend sweeping BLPA tournaments, and debate the pros and cons of having us on your team. We also hear from our Facebook group about where they’d want to be when things heat up on the ice. And don’t miss this episode’s special announcement: it’s the farewell tour (one stop only!) for our pregnant podcast star, so we’re on the lookout for a new suuuuuuuuuuuuper cool girl to join the crew! If you think you’ve got what it takes, message Nick and let him know you’re a fan of his calves. You get a link!

"For the people" - Nicky Commish This week, we dove into the charming chaos of the Lake Placid DEX, where the stunning scenery is only rivaled by the drama that unfolded at the after-party. How many cops showed up before Nick a swift exit? While Jason bailed out this episode, Anna toook the reins to get a taste of what she may be gettin into. We did some real or fake Lake Placid facts and randomly grabbed one lucky listener to win a tshirt for correct answers. We also got a video feature from the unforgettable pit-viper-wearing man who could easily be the BLPA mascot. By the end of the show...Nick was filming himself in bed. Find out why.

Let us be your fantasy...football league champs. We check in on how our teams did this past weekend and find out what Jason ended up naming his. Hint: it has to do with 💩 We also catch up on Jason and Nick’s moneyliners and explore whether they’ve finally mastered the art knowing when to fold em and walk away. Until we get real cool companies and real cool ads, we decided to make Nick read an AI-generated one for our made-up goalie pads: Puck me harder. Mmmhmmmm. We’re also diving into the beer league archetypes you know and love. From the guy who helicopters in the shower to the guy who’s not that great but suuuuure knows how to coach (and complain), we’ve got ‘em all covered. Plus, hear Nick ramble way too long about Jeff Peck’s wife scurrying around scantily clad in an Airbnb. No, we’re not sure how he made that into a story either. Finally, we’ll share our bets for the weekend, so you can either ride our coattails or be ear-witness to the downfall.

Fantasy drafts, beer league tryouts (?!) and dog poop dilemmas... It's fantasy draft time, which also means it's ""pick the punishment"" time. The BLPA has skin in the game and so far, the loser has to write and perform jingles for the podcast, carry Nick & Jason's gear at a tourney, or get a BLPA tattoo. Got any better (worse) ideas? In other news of bet failures...shoutout to @321nole, who boldly promised to eat ""dog s–t out of a red solo cup with a spoon"" if Florida State lost to Boston College. His social accounts were MIA by halftime. Ever wondered what happens when an adult league takes beer league tryouts to the extreme? Spoiler alert: it involves some kids who were probably picked last for dodgeball and need to feel powerful behind a microphone. And wait til you hear Jason’s plan to turn these beer league shenanigans into a full-blown reality show. We also close the chapter on anti-goalie-gate...listen to hear how it ends. Annnnd to no one's suprise, our conversation occasionally dives into the NSFW realm, leaving some poor soul's coworker questioning their life choices after overhearing our explicit antics Fund the reality show: https://beerleagueplayers.com/ https://www.patreon.com/theblpa Send us your beer league drama: [email protected]or [email protected] Brought to you by https://BLPA.com

Alright this was a SPICY ep. We dove allllll the way into goalie-gate—yes we even had to change names. All the drama from this weekend's tournament where a goalie walked out on his team because...? It ended with a few renditions of Taylor Swift songs because this guy just couldn't shake it off. Jason joined today, probably because he was upset about last week's top fast food restraunt picks. Hear the ultimate truth from team no-sleeves. We also got into a heated debate about airplane armrests and which seat deserves them; we're lookin at you, middle seaters. Finally! Lots of upcoming tournament details and why you need to rally your Minnesota team! Come on, state of hockey! Click these for a good time: https://beerleagueplayers.com/

Ahhhh yes. The BLPA. This week we dive into the deep end of beer league hockey. First up, we’re crafted the ultimate douchey beer league hockey player build. Picture this...actually, you don't have to. We used incredible editing skills to draw it out for you. Next, we’re talking about the epic moments in Warzone and laser tag. Nick's been absolutely crushing it, and we’re here to spill the tea on his gaming glory and laser tag legends. Plus, have you seen Nick’s hair transplant fund? Talk about a follicular frenzy...with $1 being added to the pot. We get a little "hot take-y" and rank our top 5 fast food restaurants, and SOMEONE'S opinion was absolutely demolished in the live chat. Since Nick made it too easy, we have more “Real or Deke” with our hockey movie quotes segment. Can you spot the fake quotes? We’re putting your hockey movie knowledge to the test! Lastly, we’re gearing up for the 2025 DEX tournaments in Iceland and Japan. Get the latest updates and see how these tournaments are shaping up to be the ice-cold and sushi-fueled events of the decade!

If you’re going to miss an episode, don’t let it be this one. The BLPA Big Show: where the conversation is as varied as it is entertaining! This week, our live comments were poppin off and we had TWO special guests (both with great hair). It all started with a tip…we chatted with Adam Gold about the PWHL draft rule he pioneered over a decade ago, which has had a significant impact on the league. Hear him talk about things waaaay smarter than our usual. He’s beer league hockey meets sports stats. We also had a special appearance (mid-sweat at the gym, we might add) from the legendary Jason Limbacher in all his no-sleeves glory. He’s putting the $57 we got from Facebook into some bets for us…stay tuned. Plus, we came up with some *tantalizing* new BLPA merch ideas, played a “real or fake movie quote” game, tried to make some spicy audio for a fan’s husband, and talked about a potential 24-hour podcast stream. We’re still on a mission to raise funds for Nick’s Turkish hair transplant—we ONLY need 15 people to donate $667! Since Jillian lost the poll to get her dog on a chartered plane, she’s shifting her focus to her upcoming Taco Bell-themed maternity photoshoot. Mild sauce…everywhere.

Alright, where else are you gonna hear about 'shrooms in someone's breezers during a tournament (and how much Nick wants to try them while livestreaming), the best places to eat in Chicago (*ahem* NOT at the Navy Pier), and the dumbest reason someone has been kicked out of a hockey game? We give you the (deep)dish of what's going on in the wild world of beer league, share some drama, and why we NEED TIPS. Have a rant or drama? We actually wanna hear it. Plus, ready to fund Nick's Turkish hair transplant or Jillian's journey to get her dog to fly with her to Minnesota?

This week, we have a SALACIOUS beer league drama about bro code vs fam code, we asked all our Facebook fans: 'what are the unspoken rules of beer league?' and they did not hold back, and we had not one but TWO special guests. We got the legendary and elusive Jason to call in on the way to ref a game, and Jillian's sister Anna joined to talk about her experience as a Minnesota Wild ice crew/shovel girl. Annnnd we brought in a new mini game called ""Goonsquad or nah"" where we discuss potential douche moves that happen during games. Hopefully you're stuck in rush hour because this podcast is extra long, extra juicy, and filled with head-heavy bottle beer. Links!

This week, we get HUNG up on the controversial saga of girls in the guys’ locker room—a beer leaguer shares the drama about what happened and how it rocked the league. We also play a few rounds of "Cameo Price is Right," guessing how much different hockey-related celebrities charge for their shoutouts, and discuss our latest mental health ratings because, hey, life can be tough, but we're all about talking through it. Alsoooooo we follow up on “Pickle Gate” and how the league's losers are coping with their infamous pickle trophies and hear about Cooper's exciting first art commission!
