The crew discusses the highlights from Super Bowl LV -- literally zero conversation about the actual game -- and they all pick their favorite commercial (0:45). They're then joined by Cole Cook, who discusses what life is like living "hockey the hard way." (13:00) A surprise entrant to the interview (25:00) threatens the stability of the podcast, but all is resolved by the end of the episode.
This podcast episode is brought to you by Mountain Dew Major Melon, but not really because they have not yet paid us any sponsorship dollars. Money please.

(8:45). Near the end, Katrina & Brittany share more compelling stories about what it's like being a woman in sports, the importance of allies stepping up, and things we can do to change the current dynamic (41:40).
As always, this episode is brought to you by St. Lucia. Not the band, which plays our outro every week, but the country that doesn't pay us anything to be the official sponsor of the podcast. We are terrible negotiators.
