Should We Cancel Halloween? & The NHL’s Heated Rivalry Fail

Season 4, Ep. 5
•

Should Halloween be cancelled? Jax thinks so, and she’s making her case for why adults may have officially taken spooky season too far.

Then, the NHL saw the success of Heated Rivalry and Off Campus and decided to get into the hockey romance game themselves… except things got weird when real NHL players became the characters. We break down why the idea missed the mark and whether the NHL should have committed to it or stayed out of romance altogether.

Plus, Stef’s wedding is officially just weeks away, we get a final planning update, Jax shares her advice for the day after the wedding, and the group answers a Dying to Know question about the best advice they’ve ever received.
