I'm all for them doing this. Look how big an impact these two had on the hype around the 4 nations. They are clearly good for the game.

I won't be watching but i'll be interested to hear some of the sound bytes for sure
I don't know...they were always dude bros. If that is your thing then fine. Tkachuk mic'd up is beyond cringe unless you think someone calling peoples wives, girlfriends, and moms a whore is cool.

The way he complimented and lap dogged pedo Trump too would be enough to not tune in. Sound bites of him mocking the Oilers would be the only thing that would be worth a laugh. I mean I don't really like burnburner either when they get into the dude bro stuff so its not a fandom thing.

Nah, I never liked his public personna. Even as a Flame. Too dude bro-ish for me.

I don't think it is saying much. I think that everybody is better than Whitney.

Maybe ironic, but I find it less dude bro-y when it's the full roster and not just Rhett and Boomer.

Generally speaking, the NHL players have a widespread lack of personality and media presence compared to NBA and NFL players.

A podcast like this is refreshing in that sense.

Are these the right guys though? At least Bissonnette is funny. As others have aptly put it, “dude bros” are so cringy and try hard. When all they say are nicknames ending in “-sy” it only appeals to the hockey bros under 20. Even if they tear the oilers apart it’s not enough material to tune in.

Honestly the Kelsey brothers sound like idiots too.

It sounds like maybe this kind of stuff just isn't meant for you. There's nothing wrong with that. I'm sure there's something else out there for you to enjoy.

I can probably guarantee that if Matt was going as full MAGA in Calgary as he is now his support in this city would look a lot different than it did in 2022.

Bissonnette sells the game just fine. I don’t see what these stooges have to offer.

The ever-predictable "I'm too good for this" crowd and their insatiable need to tell everyone about it.

Also playing with fire in this day and age. It's a quick way to get yourself cancelled, particularly if you are an ego driven person with impulse control issues.

I haven't even watched it. I put it on for about 5mins and then put something else on. I haven't advocated either for or against the podcast. I just let people know it exists.

Good god. Using your logic it comes across that what you are then suggesting, that you view hockey fights (within the rules of the game, whether you like it or not, and something people enjoy) and sexual assault (neither of those things) as comparable

You've never heard of a continuum or a spectrum?
