Episode 21: An Emergency Back Up Goalie & the Midwest's Least Visited State

  • Summary

  • First, Kaylie will tell the story of Scott Foster: Canadian Accountant. At least, that’s how Google refers to him. Hockey fans may remember this game in 2018. The Chicago Blackhawks were down their rostered goalies, so they were relying on their newly hired third goalie. The NHL keeps emergency back up goalies on site just in case of surprise injuries, and Scott Foster had to step up when the Blackhawks lost their third goalie with fourteen minutes left in the game. This beer league player would make history defending the net. Then, Amanda tries to make North Dakota sound exciting. This state is the least visited for a reason. There isn’t much to do with the small, spread out population and cold weather. We discover that North Dakotans have a vastly different idea of what fondue is than the rest of the world. The big ticket item in North Dakota is definitely the Badlands National Park, which looks otherworldly.
