What's in and out for 2025? And what does that have to do with you coming to a DEX? Hint: do it scared! This week, we also debated the Connor McDavid hit and suspension and an AITA story about putting too-big-for-their-britches teens in their place on the ice.

Last week's random draw number didn't come forward so it's double babyyyyyy—is it you this week?

Plus all the upcoming tournaments and why you should be there—even if you're nowhere close to good.

We're back and we're...not live. And this episode you'll see why 🥲 we hit up one of our past beer leaguer drama guys for a little update and heard a new story that involved pee-filled jeans in a beer cooler. We also looked back on the results of our BLPA Fantasy Football results to share what the ultimate loser has to do...and it's not spend 24 hours in a Wafflehouse, because Nick is totally into that. Which, by the way, we might have to coordinate a trip to do. Wait and see how we might make it happen...

We also give details on a couple upcoming tournaments and the ONE spot left for Japan (and how you can get the deposit for freeeeeee).

And bush stencils came up. No more info needed on that.
