The One About The Stanley

From hockey history to suburban moms and viral TikToks, Justice and Al dive headfirst into the world of Stanley Cups—and not just the kind you win on ice. This episode unpacks the cultural significance of the Stanley Cup in hockey, the skyrocketing trend of Stanley-branded mugs, and their unexpected transformation into must-have status symbols.

Al gets personal, sharing a touching memory of a vintage Stanley thermos handed down from his grandfather, while Justice dishes on the viral story of a Stanley mug surviving a car fire (seriously, indestructible!).

Add in kids clamoring for their own Stanley gear, long lines for limited edition drops, and a price tag frenzy that has mugs reselling for hundreds, and you’ve got a fascinating deep dive into marketing genius.And just when you think it’s all about Stanley, the duo compares its cult-like following to the Crocs comeback—proving that even the quirkiest products can become icons. Whether you’re a die-hard Stanley fan or just here for the laughs, this episode delivers the goods.
