Heated Rivalry and Hockey Smut: Puck Yeah

from Good Girls · host SJ and Kay

SJ and Kay kick off 2026 by diving headfirst into the steamy world of hockey romance, fresh off SJ's binge of HBO's Heated Rivalry - the Critics' Choice-nominated adaptation of Rachel Reid's queer M/M powerhouse. Honorary Hockey Mom Kay gives a hockey crash course (complete with a brutal quiz on shifts, sticks, and glove-dropping consent), SJ talks beautifully cast leads like Connor Sherry and Hudson Williams, and both do real-talk on why the show's rosy romance clashes with hockey's zero-out NHL reality. From heart-melting on-ice proposals to critiques of locker-room homophobia (shoutout to trailblazer Brock McGillis), the gals talk why straight women love gay sports smut, recommend must-reads like Mile High by Liz Tomforde and The Deal by Elle Kennedy, and ponder hotter adaptations for curvy heroines, throuples, and beyond-hockey vibes (hello, pickleball and rowing?). Plus, a nod to why all sports are low-key homoerotic. Grab your "I Hope Both Teams Have Fun" sweatshirt for 45 minutes of cognitively offloading in a terrible world.

Running In Slow Motion with Sidney & Tamra Smith You Hear Good Things podcast network Comedian Sidney Smith and his wife Tamra — a sharp-witted educator with a soft spot for flowers — team up to navigate life, goals, and culture at their own hilarious, at times, in-depth pace. They call it “running in slow motion,” and that pretty much sums up the vibe. This isn’t a marriage podcast (their union ranks a generous 5 out of 10, after all), but it is a refreshingly honest, smart, and funny take on relationships, ambition, and everyday chaos. From real talk to pop culture and unexpected interviews, it’s a joyride of relatable moments and laugh-out-loud observations. Explicit
