I would still use my turn signals in the Mad Max Wasteland. They'd call me "Signal" because I'd hit my blinker before ramming the enemy hot rods into the side of a desert ravine. I'd use my turn signal every time. They would respect me for this.

All roads lead back to Sidney Crosby in host Brenna's 2026 birthday episode, where we discuss all things hockey! Guest of the pod Em joins us and provides vital information about the current state of hockey as we dive into: material-discursive analysis of masculinity in men's hockey, internalized homophobia, relative degrees of emotional safety as a fan engaging with different iterations on the same sport, generational talent and failure, and what give rpf the sauce. It's a meaty one, y'all.

Fics discussed in this episode:

"Yekaterinburg Standard Time," by sevenfists (Hockey RPF) "the art of staying," by nightswatch (Check Please) "love takes miles," by corsi (Heated Rivalry)

Other media referenced:

"'What a bust': Character selection and the possibilities of failure in hockey RPF," by Júlia Zen Dariva and Natália Brauns Cazelgrandi Ferreira (OTW Journal)

I think heated rivalry is making leaps and bounds for reintroducing the endangered straight woman fujoshi to the yaoi ecosystem. In recent years especially yaoi has become really a gay person’s game and straight woman fujo populations have dwindled largely due to overfishing and booktok so it’s really majestic seeing them return from the brink of extinction

[casgirl]

Challengers was the important first step that re-introduced straight women to the concept that it’s awesome to watch men kiss. Heated rivalry showed them that a woman doesn’t even have to be there.
