It's officially the first week of summer, and you know what that means? You must be armed for small talk with your armrest buddy on a plane or a train or fill some dead time on a road trip.

NBA + STANLEY CUP FINALS
As the NBA (National Basketball Association) Finals and Stanley Cup Finals (NHL - National Hockey League) approach, this week's podcast will keep you in the loop and ready to join in the excitement.
If you're tuning in to a Florida Panthers hockey game for the first time, you might be surprised to see rats on the ice. It's a tradition that started with a member of the Panthers killing a locker room rat with his stick, and then he went out and had an incredible game. Since then, fans have adopted the tradition of throwing rubber rats (thankfully, not real rats on the ice) after a home win.
The Florida Panthers and Miami Heat (NBA) are trying to make history. No city has won both the NBA and NHL championship in the same year. At the same time, the Denver Nuggets (NBA) and Vegas Golden Knights (NHL) are looking to win their first championships.
Whether you're taking the game in courtside, on the glass or not at all, this week's podcast will set you up for sports small talk. Cue "We Are The Champions." LISTEN UP
