Between the Benches with RallSauce

Welcome back, Beauty’s and Rockstars! 🎙️🏒

It’s Saturday, which means it’s time for another catch-up with

Deeds has taken the show on the road and is down in Michigan for a football game. Naturally, we had to get into his tailgating plans. Hopefully the pre-game festivities are just as good as the football!

On this episode:

Grab a cold one...

EPISODE 161 – JUSTIN SCHMIT

Some guys play hockey. Some guys LIVE hockey. Justin Schmit is about as old school as they come.

We went back to his Midget AAA days, playing for the legendary Hounds at a private school in Saskatchewan, where he racked up 15 fights. And if you thought things were going to slow down in junior hockey, think again. Over 200 PIMs later, he carried that same mentality into the SPHL.

Justin is the ultimate teammate. First guy to show up, lives for being at the rink with the boys, and always has hi...

The boys are back, and there’s plenty to get into!

Tampa Bay might have a bigger problem than a power-play drought, with Nikita Kucherov reportedly saying he won’t be re-signing when his contract is up. Meanwhile, things aren’t looking much better in Detroit, with Dylan Larkin done playing and sitting out until his trade situation gets sorted.

We also get into Halloween night plans, what RallSauce and Deeds are getting up to once the costumes go on, and whether Toronto’s most fashionable gangsters are going to behave the...

What’s going on Beauties and Rockstars!

RallSauce and Deeds are back between the benches for another Saturday recap, breaking down Saturday night’s games, catching up on what’s been happening, and looking ahead at some upcoming guests we’ve got lined up.

We also got into the important stuff… apparently it’s prime time for squirrels to be running around collecting their last-minute acorns before winter hits. If you thought NHL GMs were making moves before the deadline, you should see these little guys scrambling to get their pantry stocked.

Hockey, laughs, upco...

Beauties and Rockstars, WHAT AN EPISODE! 🔥

We kicked things off with some Toronto Maple Leafs talk before Deeds joined me to sit down with New York City firefighter John Perretta. Johnny’s the definition of a beauty, living his childhood dream and following in the family footsteps.

Running into burning buildings, using the Jaws of Life at car crashes, responding to overdoses and even rescuing 2 cats from trees so far in his career. From the start of his shift to the finish, Johnny is out there answering the call and helping New Yorkers when they need...
