The Elf on the Shelf: The Cop Who Stole This Episode
This episode is very late and very full of tangents, but hopefully they're the funny kind? Anyways, we got caught up in the holiday rush and recorded this before the holidays but didn't get around to posting it. But it's of course, still worth a listen! Do endearing stories about Flower ever get...

Disgusting Math & the Bedazzled Eggplant

The Old One-Two

Episode 2: When you play with men...
Sometimes being a woman who plays hockey means you deal with bachelorette party planning on the bench. Sometimes it means you have rage blackouts on the ice. Sometimes one leads to the other! Either way, it's a good time. Also we talk about William Nylander and that whole contract standoff.
