About this listen

Who are we? What are we doing? And why should you care?

I’m Justin. He’s Nick. We’re two guys who love sports, chirp each other relentlessly, and somehow turn that into a podcast.

The Bottom Shelf Podcast is where hockey, sports culture, and unfiltered opinions collide — with just enough self-deprecation to keep it honest. We’re not here to pretend we’re experts. We’re here to have fun, talk sports the way fans actually do, and give you something worth throwing on in the background… or arguing with in the comments.

All we ask is you listen. Everything else is optional.

Welcome to The Bottom Shelf Podcast.

    You made a choice...and that choice was to listen to another episode of the Bottom Shelf Podcast with Nick and Justin. That certainly was...a choice. We thank you for making that choice!

    Welcome to this edition of the Bottom Shelf Podcast! Up for debate this week amongst the boys; does Justin shamelessly plug too much? Just how well will Canada do in men's hockey at the Olympics this year? Which country made a mistake with who they let wear the 'C'? And, is there a new "must watch" rivalry in the NHL?

    On top of all that, right out of the gate, Justin has a little surprise for d*ckhe-I MEAN...Nick.

    Thanks for listening!

    Bottom Shelf Podcast - Episode 2
    Feb 1 2026

    If you survived episode 1, welcome to episode 2! This week we get to know Nick & Justin a little better with some stories about why they love hockey so much. The boys also discuss a new NHL record for hat tricks in a single month, the biggest gap between the #1 and #2 scorers on a single team across the NHL, and the all-time leading US born point scorer. They wrapped things up with a game of "Game of Logos", where Nick tries to name the teams around the NHL that have a hockey stick in their logo.
