Hildy's Hot TakesEpisode 31: It Was Going Good Until She Couldn't Figure Out Yesterday's Wordle Another episode coming at ya!! Euphoria really shat the bed in season 2 and I am kind of pissed off about it. I went to the casino last night and realized the blackjack perfect strategy card is fraudulent after some had the audacity to take a piss in the urinal right next to me in an empty bathroom. Some of my other hot takes this episode are that "What is your source" people are the worst and that if you can't correctly guess even one day of Wordle you are an idiot.

Hildy's Hot TakesEpisode 30: Seriously Though, Caffeine is Legal and Marijuana Isn't?I am back! Apologies for the hiatus I just am addicted to complaining about things right now because I can't get off Twitter and the current state of the world is giving me a headache and I didn't want to sound like a whiny bitch. You should never eat a cookie without putting it in the microwave for 10 seconds first. The Olympics are officially dead and that is HHT Certified. Coffee should be illegal. Russia needs to take a xanax. The pandemic is over. It is 2022 if you didn't know, someone tell Justin Trudeau. Enjoy!

Hildy's Hot TakesEpisode 29: The World is Quickly Spinning Down the Toilet, Fact Checkers ReportI get a little depressed every time I go on Twitter and look at the news tab and the articles that they decide to post on there. Well, not actually because that stuff does not affect you or I one little bit. On this episode I also put forth an incredible, coherent rant, even for my standards, on why it makes so much sense to expand the college football playoff. Seriously a masterpiece if you ask me. In other news, Bobby Orr might be a better player all-time than Wayne Gretzky and Cale Makar is better than Bobby Orr...

Hildy's Hot TakesEpisode 28: First EVER Guest on Hildy's Hot Takes Taking us into the New YearHappy New Year everyone! On this episode I decided to just say fuck it and I invited my roommate on the road and teammate of mine on the Oilers, Jake Pappalardo, on to the pod to help me sort through the chaos. Jake is a huge beauty with a huge ass on him and some nice legs. We talk about covid, the new movie Dont Look Up, fact checkers, limes over lemons, fentanyl overdoses, airplane etiquette, and stupid people bragging about their kids political views on twitter. Papps also gives his official Hildy's Hot Takes picks for the College...

Hildy's Hot TakesEpisode 27: Raise Your Hand if You Would be a Better NFL Coach than Urban MeyerBecause I am a professional podcaster, I pre-recorded this episode a week in advance because I was going to be busy over the holidays. Just pro podcaster things. On this episode I ponder whether it would be beneficial or not if Salvation Army volunteers played dubstep through a speaker instead of ringing their annoying bells for donations. Urban Meyer gets fired from the Jags in what might be the most incompetent display of professionalism in the history of the universe. What a joke that guy is. Imagine being his wife and kids. Yikes. Other topics I touch on for...

Hildy's Hot TakesEpisode 26: Why Do We Let an Old Man in a Costume Touch Our Kids in Malls Every Christmas? Seriously though, is it really that important to get a picture of your 3 year old that doesn't have a clue what is going on with "Santa" who is probably some old weird geezer that gets off on child pornography?? On this episode I talk about that, and also that nobody gives on flying fuck about the recap of your year that you post on your social media stories. It is almost 2022 and if you didn't know, paper receipts give you cancer when you touch them. No joke, look it up. They are also a purely archaic way to document...

Hildy's Hot TakesEpisode 25: If You Ain't Talking Pomegranates I Don't Wanna TalkI honestly don't even know what I am talking about on this podcast anymore. It seems like absolute nonsense to me but nonetheless.... If you want to know what my top 5 favorite fruits are give this one a listen. I take some time to bitch about world governments making up new Covid variants to scare people and I also go on a bit of a rant about Twitter and Instagram trying to guilt trip me out of telling people they are the dumbest people alive. Also why is taking your car in to get fixed such a damn ordeal...

Hildy's Hot TakesEpisode 24: If People Consider You "Normal" You're Living Life the Wrong WayRodney D Hilderman is visiting the beautiful state of Oklahoma and he will be in pure bliss over the next 12 days. Carlo Coliacovo and Marc Methot, two former NHL players cannot figure out the concept of basic supply and demand economics when it comes to why NHL players are paid less than other leagues. I talk about how important it is to be as weird as possible and try as hard as you possibly can not to be normal. Because if you are normal you're basically slowly killing yourself. Not my best episode, but what is good and what...

Hildy's Hot TakesEpisode 23: Tiger is Hitting Balls Again and We're Worried About Booster Shots???This episode may be my best yet... YOU BE THE JUDGEI talk about Hulu's ads that are 1 billion times louder than the actual show for some stupid reason. Then I use my gigantic genius brain to connect my heart rate variability to the time it takes like 10 or more cars to eventually all hit their gas pedals after the traffic light turns green. Genius. I create and new rule for everyone attending a live concert that I am going to be policing hard, you're going to want to know what it is so you don't get...

Hildy's Hot TakesEpisode 22: I Thought Dan & Shay was a Guy and a Girl This Whole TimeApologies for the sniffles and one (1) sneeze during this episode. I start this ACTUAL episode 22 off by complaining again about how soft NHL fans are in terms of player safety and rough plays. Like grow the fuck up already. Then you hear about my so-so experience at a Dan and Shay concert with the boys. I literally thought Shay was a girl this whole time. The episode then takes a bit of a turn, as they always do, and I debate an important hypothetical about guys and girls saying they're gay in the middle of a heterosexual relationship and...

Hildy's Hot TakesEpisode 21: Please, for the Love of God, Cancel the Metaverse NOW!!!!!I said like 6 times on the episode that it was episode 22 but I am an idiot so its actually episode 21. On this one I talk about Chipotle basically chopping my balls off in exchange for a bowl and some chips. I then dive in to this absolute maniac's theory about the up and coming Metaverse and segway that into some Connor Mcdavid appreciation. Also, why are we still talking about Jon Gruden, bro that shit happened like a month ago wtf??? Enjoy EPISODE 21

Hildy's Hot TakesEpisode 20: I Forgot how Shitty the Flying Experience IsTo start the episode off, I commend Kyle Beach for his courage to speak out and shed a light on what happened to him. I then read a few paragraphs from the book I am currently reading that sum up perfectly what we should all do when faced with extremely uncomfortable situations where our backs might be against the wall. That is followed by a mega rant about how brutal flying is. A mega rant. To end my longest pod to date, I list the top 5 beers in history according to me and my huge brain and impeccable taste...

Hildy's Hot TakesEpisode 20: Did I Mention I Hate Turbulence?Another late episode but I don't care. What matters is that I recorded and I am back for another week. Oh, and also this one is 30 minutes so fart noise. On this episode I go in depth about how shitty the flying experience is in relation to my recent trip to Rapid City, South Dakota last weekend. I then list my top 5 favorite beers of all time. The episode then takes a turn for 10 minutes at the end where I discuss the events with Kyle Beach and the Chicago Blackhawks video coach in a very pragmatic manner.

Errands to run, practices and workouts to go to, an apartment to set up. Anyway, enjoy episode 18.

Hildy's Hot TakesEpisode 15: The "Feel Good" Breathing TechniqueHilarious episode! So there was a national election in Canada yesterday? I didn't even know about it. I forgot about it. I was too busy GRINDING in the gym shooting like 20 pucks and getting a huge blister on my hand. Then I was too busy trying to figure out if I was going to bet on the Packers or the Lions. While putting in a bet for that game I decided I was going to fade the United States for the Ryder Cup for reasons announced on the pod... Enjoy!!

Skateboarding is dead, the Olympics are a joke, and people need to learn how to drive when one lane on the highway is closed. I also go over a WILD night I had last Saturday in downtown Saskatoon. Enjoy!!

Hildy's Hot TakesEpisode 5: The Long Term Injury Reserve MethodSorry for the delay for episode 5! Hopefully you all are chomping at the bit for this one. More time in between episodes means more thought in between episodes but does not necessarily mean a longer episode. This one should make at least a couple of you laugh. I find myself in a mental conundrum possibly chirping a guy with a skin condition. Nikita Kucherov is a rock star, a new pandemic is sweeping the nation and the Minnesota Wild can finally be good again! Enjoy!

Hildy's Hot TakesEpisode 1: Shit Takes and Stupid OpinionsHello everyone! Welcome to Hildy's Hot Takes, I am excited to present this to you and get this podcast rolling! After the introduction I lay down a really shitty take. My first segment, the "Shut Up of the Week" is introduced and some asshole couldn't figure out whether to name his kid Trevor or Kevin. Not enough people in this world are drinking enough water, especially not Aaron Rodgers. The Paul brothers are ruining boxing and Ben Askren is an out-of-shape loser. Please, I am begging you to give me some feedback on the episode so I know how...

Bulldog InsiderFour storied years for Bulldog seniorsAfter four seasons, the seniors are all about to play their final games at Amsoil Arena this weekend when the UMD men's hockey team hosts Miami in a best-of-three NCHC quarterfinal series. This week, we have three of the four Bulldogs' seniors: Nick Wolff, Jade Miller, and Jarod Hilderman. Goalie Hunter Shepard is the fourth senior, we plan to have him on at the end of the season. We take a walk down memory lane and reminisce on their last four years, which have included two NCHC Frozen Faceoff titles, a North Star College Cup, a...
2020-03-1243 minBulldog Insider'It happened' with defenseman Jarod HildermanEver since we started this podcast our listeners have been requesting we interview one UMD player in particular. Well, today is the day you get to hear from senior defenseman Jarod Hilderman. He is the most famous Bulldog on Twitter, maybe you've seen his infamous "didn't happen" bit, and probably the only one on the team to survive driving through a tornado. Which did in fact happen. We talk with the journalism major about his time in Duluth and let him ask us a few questions about how we cover college hockey. Hosted by...
