The Poor Goalie is… Everywhere | Pod 50
feat. Tom Scott
You’re at a hockey game. You grabbed nachos and your favorite sports beverage. The Mighty Ducks are playing their rivals, and you look away from the ice to take a selfie with a selfie stick so long you have to brace it against your hip to snap the pic.
As you smile with your crew, a flash of white light envelops the stadium as the air catches fire. The noise is deafening. When you whip around, you see a hole in the stadium where the Duck’s goal used to be … outside the full moon is melting. You wonder if the nachos would taste good covered in moon cheese. You snap the photo.
Ohhhh, the good ol’ hockey game; it’s the best game you can name, and the best game you can name? It’s the good old hockey game.

Julian: "What if the moon was actually made of cheese?" from Cody, and seprately, Shane
