October 30, 2025 256: Back from the ‘Summer’ Off...and Probably Getting Cancelled
The guys are back after a long “summer break," and honestly, they might get cancelled after this one.

Jimmy’s skinnier than ever (thanks to exercise & a little Mounjaro magic), Russ is still chirping like it’s game seven, and the boys dive headfirst into everything from mental health in the sports world to the wildest stories from the old NHL days!

Editor's Note: Thanks for sticking with us during our six-month hiatus! We ran into some technical difficulties with Russ’s audio on this episode. We did our best to clean it up, but please excuse any sound quality issues.

The boys are finally back with another show!

Sorry for the wait! Let’s just say their rigorous schedule of napping, procrastinating, and pretending to be busy really got in the way. But hey, they’re here now with more stories, hot takes, and the usual nonsense you didn’t ask for but secretly love.

Buckle up—it’s another episode of The Suspendables!
