I'd love to see them try!

https://anchor.fm/jardy-b/episodes/Jardys-Hecking-Podcast--Season-3-Episode-2-Rival-Rambling-e1v1kr5 Featured Track: VIBE by Jackson Homer I'm walking my dog right to double points on Theme Week! I talk a lot but don't say much. I ponder who could be considered rivals, discuss the #CleganeBowl, and decide that @v.2 and @kelvi's players should be rivals.

Express Press Conference Answering three questions gets you 1 Capped TPE Answering six questions gets you 2 Capped TPE 1. Theme Week is here! How do you like the "Rivalry" subject? I think it was a solid pick for a subject! It can create some competition and also inspire some media about some fun and intense rivalries in the past. Or it can inspire 15 minutes of stream of conscience rambling, depending on who you ask. 2. Halfway into the season, how do you feel about the team? I'm loving it! It infuriates me that we can't score more, and it does seem like Oslo is outperforming us generally, but I feel very comfortable with our chances of getting to the Finals! 3. Did you watch the Super Bowl? I did not, but I heard they played a game of football and that the Kansas City Chiefs ultimately won that game. 4. Follow-up to (3)... how about that Rihanna Halftime Show? Still don't know, but I read an amusing joke about it on Reddit recently. 5. Do you listen to Harry Styles? Not specifically, but I do listen to the "Chill" station on Sirius and they feature this remix of Matilda quite a bit and it's a gooder. 6. I suffered through a painful riddle this week and so will you, "what tea do hockey players drink?" This sounds more like a question than a riddle, but if it must be a riddle I will guess "Iced tea." If not, I'd say whatever tea helps them with their health on any given day.

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 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!
