You're all invited to a sleepover
You know the golden hour at about 2 a.m. when you and your pals have been laughing and shrieking at each other all night, after a day spent being rowdy while window shopping and ordering every appetizer on the menu, and your voice is hoarse and your stomach hurts from how hard you've been laughing (and also possibly how many mozzarella sticks you've eaten), and you are all draped around each other in a blanket pile and you know you should go to sleep but you're filled with a warm glow of love and fellowship and the knowledge that you can Get Weird about the things you love in front of these people and they will still think you're wonderful? That's the vibe of this, the ONLY sports podcast I will probably ever follow. Prior to You Can't Do That, the only things about hockey that spoke to me were the punching and Soviet defection stories, and I felt guilty about liking the first part. Getting to follow along in real time as the hockey coven lives through a historic playoffs season for their family, the Washington Capitals, is an incredible treat. I love that in addition to experiencing the camaraderie, I'm actually learning about sports psychology and sociology and cultural differences within hockey-playing nations and key historical figures in hockey. (Keep those defection stories coming, guys.) Finding out that sports fandom can be joyful and weird instead of dour and math-obsessed and full of gatekeepers has been a gift.Read full review »

I don't pay attention to actual hockey, I just listen to this podcast,...Read full review »

Y'all are the people I wish I could go to games with! Listening in will suffice, though. My weird reactions to sports and hockey in particular are not reciprocated so it's nice to know I'm not the only one acting this way. Also! This college athlete/poli sci major is looking to...Read full review »

Oh my god. This is the greatest podcast ever. On my ride home from work today I literally went from openly weeping (listening to the ladies describe the Caps' reactions to beating Tampa) to laughing hysterically (when someone said that Nate Schmidt looks like if they made Spongebob human) in...Read full review »
