Where Bob and Doug discuss everything you ever wanted to know about the art and science of ice resurfacing

In this episode, Bob and Matt welcome Doug Peters, regional sales manager at the Zamboni Company and host of the Ask the Zamboni Experts podcast. We get: the history of ice resurfacing and the Zamboni Company; driving in California during the pandemic; metonymy vs synecdoche: the benefits and pitfalls of being the brand synonymous with ice resurfacing; follower questions; the path to becoming a competent maker of ice; what makes good ice; the ice rink in Hawaii; a wiffle ball story; Veterans Memorial Rink in Cranston as photo subject; why floor scrubber users contact the Zamboni Company; the possibility of a 10-hour ice resurfacing video; the curse of the TD Garden no longer using Zamboni machines; the strange similarities of the Reading Rockets and Rutgers logos; a touching promise to send Bob and Matt some Zamboni swag; plus, a preview of Matt's new Throwin' One Back podcast.
