It's FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 202 and we are BACK for SEASON SIX despite everything you did to try to stop that. Phillies Karen came over and was like "that's my podcast" and we didn't buckle like some weak willed wuss father. We punched her so hard in the face that her glasses flew off and that's when we realized we actually punched Mike Francesa. They're practically the same person. So we talk about the offseason in the NHL, the new financial rules, the ongoing preseason, and uh, stuff like that. It's preseason and these blurbs are rusty too. But the show is full throttle so tune in for FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 202!
