Some episodes are structured.
This is not one of them.
In Definitely Unscripted: Unhinged, Cole and I let it fly. What started as a conversation about his transfer from NEC to Franklin Pierce quickly turned into a full-on spiral — in the best way possible.
We dive into what it was really like for him leaving Texas and adjusting to life up north, the mental side of transferring programs, and the challenge of building a new identity in a new place. Cole opens up about being far from home, the culture shift, and what that transition demanded from him both on and off the ice.
But this episode is more than hockey.
We talk about how we became best friends, the legendary “frat” we created, the chaos of senior year, trying to find a job so we can take a fifth year, and the moments that made college unforgettable. It’s honest, it’s reflective, and at times… completely off the rails.
This one feels less like an interview and more like you’re sitting in the room with us.
Definitely unscripted.
Definitely unhinged.
Definitely one of my favorites.
