Desmond (Host) and Mike (co-host) are back, discussing the recent playoff hockey situations (Rangers lost btw), thoughts on the Lane Lambert hire, possible lineup shake ups, and other stuff. Mike shills for the Avs hard. Brutal stuff.

We talk about the Islanders relieving head coach Barry Trotz of his duties. Mike tries to paint the positive & Desmond voices his disdain for the whole thing. We're both stunned.

Mike & Desmond break down the Islanders outside shot at going on a run and making the playoffs. We also talk about how the league should award the Islanders 20 points retroactively + a first round playoff bye.

Once again, co-host Mike is a healthy scratch, so Scott from Cryptodira/the 300 IQ Militia gets the call up to talk with Desmond (Host)about Lou's trade-less deadline, which players might get moved in the offseason, and Ilya Sorokin haters.

Much like the Islanders, the podcast is back. We discuss co-host Mike's detestable lack of character shown by refusing to root for the Islanders over the Avs in their head to heads in the past month, lay out which fanbase faves may be better off as trade bait, and play a game called "NO THANK YOU"

Mike & Desmond are joined by our friend Sebastian Paba. This essentially feels like two episodes, the first hour being all Islanders talk & from 1:04 onward, about racism engrained in hockey culture + growing up playing hockey as a not white person.

Isles went 3-1 since last episode, 8-3-1 in last 12 games, but still have a mountain to climb back into the playoff picture and will have 50 games in 99 nights. We talk about their wins over lowly Devils and Flyers, no-show v the Caps, lineup considerations, argue about Varlamov, and begin our new segment, Through The Wire, where Desmond and Mike discuss The Wire, which Desmond is watching for the first time. Lets go.

Mike & Desmond are back. We haven't recorded together in about a month, and yet there's still not too much to talk about. Hopefully the Islanders play a hockey game soon.

Like the Isles, TTIP has called up Ryan Doyle of Filthy F'n Casuals to fill in on this episode as a certain Corporate co-host couldn't record this week due to being on tour (referring to Mike). Des and Doyle (the DnD connection) discuss the misery of Isles twitter this season and the signs of life shown in the Isles 4 game point streak since getting past the politrix of the NHL forcing the Isles to play during a covid outbreak.

Mike (recording from the closet of a hotel room in Denver) & Desmond speak about the Islanders stretch from NJ -> TOR (bad), the opening of UBS arena (building good, game bad) & the next four games ahead amongst other things.
