Two Bearded Ladies Podcast

Carolyn & Merrin talk the new name, playoff ups and downs, how much we love Leicester City, give tips on stress relief, personal finance, and why the New York Riveters are your new favorite team.

In the first-ever 2BL Playoff-bound podcast, the Ladies talk being #1 in the West, Merrin cries about Sam Gagner, Carolyn fills out a bracket full of feelings, and everyone knows you’re just one wrong shirt away from elimination. It’s gonna be lit, y’all. 

The Ladies nominate Pat Maroon for the Masterton, are haunted by a phantom train, get confused by the number of people named Bill in the world, talk playoff seeding, Val’s frustration, and whether old men live in trees. Remember: Podcasts are a social construct.

With only 8 points needed to clinch a playoff spot, the Ladies reflect on the Stars season, promptly jinx them by saying nice things about Kris Russell, Carolyn becomes “that guy”, and Merrin has a baby related meltdown. You know, the usual.

With one week before the trade deadline, the Ladies chat about the Stars recent terrible play, where they think Dallas can upgrade, schadenfreude, and how Heather Benn set the standard for Good Hockey Moms everywhere.

In this episode, the Ladies talk musicals, aren’t worried about the Stars (except when they are), Merrin gets blacklisted, Carolyn hates everyone, Ottawa makes a trade, and Connor McDavid is allowed to win the Calder, but only on one condition.

In this episode, the Ladies (eventually) discuss the upcoming All-Star Game, conclude the NWHL All-Star Game was pretty much the best ever, and are really cranky. Plus there’s Horcoff, puppies, and more science than you can shake a stick at.

In this week-late episode, the Ladies talk the slump-that-shall-not-be-named, the most recent trade that Jim Nill won (hint: he made it in July), Merrin’s mundane superpower is inneffectual rage, Carolyn does her best impression of Tyler Seguin, and no one’s making it out of the zombie apocalypse alive.

In this One Year Anniversary Special of the 2BL podcast, the Ladies talk the Stars’ Year of Winning, Carolyn lives her best life, Merrin sits atop the sober throne of judgement, the Winter Classic is a thing that happens, and we reveal truths about Toboggan Moen that may shock you. Happy New Year!

Have you ever wondered what doesn’t make it into the podcast? Or how the Ladies warm up those melodious voices? This is our gift to you - 3 minutes of what doesn’t make it on air. Happy Holidays everyone, see you again in 2016!

In this episode, ALL THE THINGS ARE HAPPENING but not to the Stars, who keep rolling along. The Ladies worry about the Central, prove they can still pass 5th grade geography, hop aboard the Millennium Falcon, and wish all of you Happy Holidays!

In this shenanigans-filled episode, the Ladies love Jason Demers, say nice things about Brad Marchand (no, we’re not kidding), make a lot of boys cry, Carolyn goes off about the DoPS and Merrin finally admits her secret shame. Remember, everyone loves a good jazz square.

In a world where the Stars are 15-4-0, the Ladies must begin complaining about other teams to fill time, end up fighting over the honor of coaches in the playoffs, agreeing loudly about the stupidity of the campaign for bigger nets, and adopt a human kitty as they struggle to say nice things about the East.

In this post-Bruins game episode, the Ladies discuss Dallas’ hot start to the year, attempt to eat their weight in lollipops, talk about the come-from-behind shenanigans we’ve seen, sell their souls for a buck, rate the best and worst NHL halloween costumes, answer reader questions, and Carolyn & Merrin just aren’t ~meant to be~. 

6 games into the season and the Ladies breakdown what’s breaking down (Stars forwards), Merrin sings the classics, Carolyn needs therapy, no one likes Philly, and we all love Mike Heika. Grab your bug-out bags, it’s a new podcast!

Hockey is back! Today the Ladies talk season predictions, Merrin’s emotions go all the way to 11, Carolyn needs to take a shower, Mattias Janmark makes the team, and Raffi Torres gets named the Aaron Burr of the hockey world.  Trigger Warrning from minute mark 3:30 - 4:30. (Also recommended that you start with the volume on low).

After a month long hiatus, the Ladies are back, and so is Stars hockey! The Ladies recount their experiences at training camp, talk prospects, who showed up at training camp, how the new additions of  Sharp and Oduya are getting along, Jamie’s hips, Jamie’s hair - you know, the usual. #isitoctoberyet

Because there’s very little hockey news in late August, the Ladies decided it was high time for a Super Special Fantasy Hockey Podcast! They talk where to play, what types of leagues, and share the rules of Feminist Fantasy Hockey. Also, they have a ~fantasy~ draft live on the podcast, and you’ll never guess who their first round picks are.

In this rather serious episode of the 2BL podcast, the ladies discuss the Patrick Kane allegations, why they dislike the ‘innocent until proven guilty’ standard for the public, Carolyn starts laugh-crying, Merrin becomes a god, and they both watch the Demers’ “Chandelier” dance for the first time. Trigger Warnings for discussion of rape and sexual assault. The Patrick Kane discussion lasts from minute 2:30-38:30. (You might also want to adjust your volume for the section right after).

In this episode, we crack Jamie Benn’s secret code, talk about our new favorite team, the Dallas Starhawks, Merrin nearly kills herself, Carolyn waves her arms around, and everybody wants to see more of Johnny Oduya.
