(WARNING: STRONG ADULT LANGUAGE AND HUMOR. LISTENER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.)

PUCK SOUP is the new hockey podcast on the Nerdist network for Puck Daddy editor Greg Wyshynski and Dave Lozo of Vice Sports, Uproxx and The Comeback. This is a hockey podcast, in the sense that the talk about hockey, both on the ice and about fan culture. That’s the “puck.” This is also a podcast about movies, TV, fast food, life lessons and general idiocy. That’s the “soup.”

In Episode 23, it’s the Puck Soup Halloween Spooktacular, as Greg and Dave assign trick-or-treat costumes to NHL players and play “yummy in my tummy or only for a dummy” with classic Halloween candy. Plus, a look at early season surprises in the NHL; Dave is all-in on the Edmonton Oilers; why the Maple Leafs are a wonderful kind of bad; Greg rants about the poor NBCSN game analysis; why the Rangers are quite good; why the Pacific Division is not very good; TV shows that have longevity but we don’t know who actually watches them; David S. Pumpkins vs. Black Jeopardy; and if the Zodiac killer was obsessed with candy.
