Always good to beat both versions of Vasteras B)

Nah, I think it’s manly and kind to allow your wife to control the television. Nothing’s more masculine than being a good husband!

You (or anyone else reading this needing ideas) could always look into old team rivalries, and perhaps what's become of them in the modern age. The VHL History section has these two articles specifically for inspiration: Or you could manufacture/interpret a more modern day rivalry! As a filthy casual who knows nothing, I'd personally try to argue that the Ottawa Lynx and Las Vegas Aces are rivals because they're both usually pretty solid teams? Speaking of Ottawa, I think they faced off in the finals against the Marauders two or three seasons in a row relatively recently, that could be something. idk!

I still have never met gorlab irl, but I have no doubt I would catch fades like an all-star MLB fielder. Maybe one day we can do a Fuddruckers podcast date for a Christmas stretch goal or something. Plus a charity boxing match? ALSO THE SHL CAN SUCK IT, YEAH!

Those pesky Vikings, acting like they’re a Swedish team that matters

Can you please teach George R R Martin your ways of being productive in writing?

No one is going to address this butchery?

I completely understand how not progressing could feel dull after a bit. My hope and theory is that, stripped away of the responsibility of earning and progressing, I’ll naturally become more invested in the actual game results and player performance and all that jazz. I’ll let you know in 2-8 seasons.

Awesome! Thanks for the advice. Already thinking about next one. Also, like the TPA and TPE thing. Good thinking. That would make things interesting.

You’re definitely not alone in feeling this way. I had a very similar experience when I first joined the league, and that was 13 years ago. As a community I feel like we do what we can to make it feel less overwhelming to new members, and the Discord is a big help in that, but it’s a unique hobby and I think the information overload and the “daunt” is unavoidable to some extent. As Gus mentioned though, it can all click into place easy enough. As you continue to gain your bearings it becomes easier to spew out any kind of Point Task, and it can stoke some creativity too. I’m personally a big advocate of Podcasts, as it’s a lot easier than you’d think to word vomit about the league for 5-15 minutes. The “VHL related” requirement for podcasts are quite loose too, which gives you some leeway to get comfortable on the mic by just talking about how your day was for a couple of minutes if you wanted. You’re off to a great start here by the looks of it, I hope to continue seeing you around!

If you can even make it a few weeks

Take your time @youloser1337! You’re a gem for always putting these out, a true winner in my book.

D Lamb and D Luca, I smell a MULTI! jk, welcome to the league!

I also want to smash my head into a wall when I speak I’m glad I finally got a chance to listen to this, I always love these reviews! A hairy man, amirite?

More like Vincent Laroche WINNING

I was trying to be as racist to Swedes as possible @Shindigs. And it sounds silly. I should make uncomfortable commercials more of a thing, but I didn’t even have time to edit in music, so a commercial definitely wasn’t happening!

Tonight the VHLE had to #DreadTheFred @TownBizness

If they're PUSSY ASS BITCHES owners will buy little booties, yeah. Many of the mutts and medium to long haired breeds here I think are well enough adapted or distracted to skip the boots though. Also snow trails are more forgiving than paved trails or sidewalks. Also in my limited experience, I find dog boots have trouble staying on, and dogs aren't always that comfortable with them. Dog jackets are common on short-haired breeds here though. I can PRONOUNCE my player name flawlessly, I'm just bound to trip over it if I try too earnestly, so I embrace the trip! I've already committed to doing the community dishes while I hang out!

- Record louder you piece of shit, how dare you multi task and not pay attention to the INTEGRITY OF THE PODCAST!!! (but for real I can only hear it when everything is max volume) - My suggestion for the BOG is to have focused and decisive discussions! - I listened to the full length. I'll do a long drive Friday so I can listen to the other long podcasts in my queue as well. - Classic BOG member having NOTHING TO REALLY SAY - Classic Australian podcast with magpies squawking in the background - I actually just tagged you in a new carrot-eating podcast.

*LISTENER DISCRETION ADVISED* I'm walking with my bitches. https://anchor.fm/jardy-b/episodes/Jardys-Hecking-Podcast--Season-3-Episode-1-Worst-Season-Premiere-Ever-e1um2ch My first Hecking Podcast of 2023, which I recorded last week. I mostly discuss the staffing of our vhlportal.com, and by discuss I mean have unfettered, uneducated thoughts. I then talk about how awesome having a VHLE lifer is and how anyone should do it. 0:00-2:00: Preamble 2:00-3:12: The increased age and responsibilities of current portal staff @Josh and @Dil. I also suffer a head injury 3:12-4:15: The specialized knowledge required to work on the portal 4:15-5:50: Possibilities of being more proactive with portal staff and consequences of having none 5:50-6:50: Lessons from VHL history @fyo 6:50-8:10: Unlocking the limitless potential of the portal, but mostly gushing about dogs 8:10-8:30: IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER ABOUT MY PODCASTS 8:30-10:30: Vague portal ideas/end of portal thoughts ~PIVOT TO VHLE THINGS~ 10:45-End: The benefits of creating a VHLE lifer, and the VHLE in general (Spoilers: It's a pseudo-retirement!) @Berocka skip right to this part if you don't want to listen to everything!

BIIIIIG MOTHERFUCKING RIIGGGGGGGS

I'm just pleased to hear that you're planning on having three players in the league! I love you too.

*LISTENER DISCRETION ADVISED* It was -30 C before the wind as it turns out, even listening will give you frostbite. https://anchor.fm/jardy-b/episodes/Jardys-Nodesode-47-Experiencing-the-E-e1um1k8 In this episode I am once again walking dogs, only it was a week ago and I forgot to post it last week. It cuts out abruptly near the end because the cold killed my phone battery, obviously. I discuss: - VHLE Competition - Collecting Pension as a VHLE lifer - Earning TPE and spending contract money as a VHLE lifer - EXPERIENCING THE E Mentions: I don't think anybody

1. Los Angeles Sports Broadcast show called out LA Stars Captaincy trio after a video surfaced with them all relaxing in a hottub few hours before the puck drop, they called them "unprofessional, disgraceful and not with the hockey spirit" - your thoughts? Yeah that sounds about correct to me. If you're going to live in Los Angeles you have to embrace the slow moving Cali lifestyle, and the team leaders should be spearheading that lifestyle. 2. GM Gagnon has multiple times this week refused to answer any questions about teams performance saying - it will be a bad luck charm to go and talk about things like that. Do you believe there is a lot of supperstition in hockey? I refuse to comment on this question specifically, because THEORETICALLY we all know that discussing superstition out loud just makes your bad luck even worse. That's like saying the word "shutout" before the shutout is recorded. 3. Sunglasses Yoyo was quoted by York Times saying that "Stars LR is really supportive and inclusive while also making sure that there is a strict working mentality going on" - do you think having a LR like that is a bonus or a negative? It sounds horrible, I don't wanna work; I just want to bang on my drum all day. 4. Recently LA Stars have slowed down a bit and have had 1-1 simulations, do you think it is time to worry about those games or they are just something that is always bound to happen? 1-1 simulations aren't too bad at all, because it's verbally similar to "1 on 1 stimulations," which I find to be a very wonderful thing indeed. 5. Scoish and few other players have actively called for a new "VHLPA" to emerge to represent player rights, do you think VHL needs a VHLPA when it is well known that previous projects have failed? No, it is very much right for league leaders to have uncontested authority over its players. Players and members are disgusting peons who deserve no rights at all, and should be treated as such. 6. Looking at your own performance this season, do you see yourself improving the pace on points, goals, other important statistics or do you feel you are right where you want to be? It would be good if my player performed at a higher level, and perhaps by playoffs he might. However, I did forget to post my Point Tasks last week, so that isn't going to go very far in improving mid-season. I'll cop my performance so far and keep looking forward to the future!
