2026/02/03

It's FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 219 and we have an actual hockey expert join us, Mr. Jonny Lazarus! Wait...I thought WE were hockey experts. In truth, when we get to talk to a real expert we all realize that the rest of us suck something awful. So tune in for some actual intelligent insight because it's so frickin' rare on this show. Honestly. You know, the more I type this episode synopsis, the less good I feel about myself. It's a darn good thing no one reads these. But if you are

It's FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 218 and if you blinked, you missed it! Tight 45? Try a tight FORTY! We give you the low down on the down low with the Penguins surging, the Devils rebounding, and the Islanders floating. We don't talk much about the Rangers who are um...dead last in the East. But the good news is that they wrote a letter, and if your team can't win, the least that they can do is keep in touch. So listen (it's truly not a huge commitment this week I promise) to FRIENDS

Ep. 215 Friends and Rivals Podcast: Audi Drivers Unite!

Friends and Rivals Podcast ·

2026/01/06

It's FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 215 and I'm fancy as all hell, just look at my car! The Rangers and Devils frustrate Tom and Steve, but the Penguins and Islanders have Billy and Nick dreaming of a 1st round playoff matchup! Sure the entire East is separated by 10 points and every team is over .500 somehow, but a couple of points halfway through the season sure give some of us a lot of confidence and some a sense of hopelessness. That's right, this is an unnecessarily philosophical

We do our FAR version of Twas the Night Before Christmas and if you're not going to YouTube for that then you're missing out. Merry Christmas from FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 214!

2025/11/26

It's FRIENDS AND RIVALS EPISODE 210. Friends and Rivals is our name, and Spatchcocking is our game! As we prepare for Thanksgiving, two of us are thankful for our teams I guess. And then the other two root for the Rangers and Penguins. The Isles have a homerun road trip, the Devils battle on without their top player and his "cut hand" while he is comforted by Tate McRae, and the Rangers and Penguins have no big wins and no hot team girlfriends and no players almost cutting off fingers

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
