The #38 Special, Minnesota Wild forward Ryan Hartman drops by the pod for another entertaining conversation, ranging from trucks to fatherhood to holiday cheer. The crew talks about Hartzy's love of the outdoors, fishing for bass and muskie, some recent purchases that Dirty Harry might appreciate, and wearing your new jacket to the rink. Pony up and buy that leather jacket you've been eyeing, because you should attack life like Hartzy attacks competition, worry free with a chip on your shoulder.

Friend of the show, Minnesota Wild defenseman, #5 Jake Middleton returns to the pod, and seemingly didn't want to leave, so buckle up for a longer show this week. "Jake Midstrom," as Wes Walz coined recently, talks about the strong start from the squad, welcoming his first child to the world, his tape job, playing with Kirill and so much more. Throw on a hoodie, or maybe a crew neck if that's more your style, and get ready for all things Jake Middleton.

Sorry for the delay on this weeks episode, but we got hit by a MOOSE and it took a second to recover. Carts and King dive into youth hockey updates, beer league shenanigans, the recent road trip, and how Hynes brings the "hard." Alternate Captain Marcus Foligno also drops by to discuss his role as a leader, his Sudbury Ontario summers, fun with family, and maintaining balance on and off the ice. When Moose enters the room you listen up, so listen up to Wild on 7th.
