This week on Enjoying Orange Slices with Jeff & Ian 🍊🏒

It's 2026 and the boys are back—Jeff's fresh off some travel (and snow stories), Bagg's got a classic "only in Long Beach" moment, and the show leans right into what it does best: hockey + life + a whole lot of laughs.

This week's guest is a beauty: Captain Rod Buskus returns—14-year pro (500+ games) who spent 25 years with Hawaiian Airlines—and the conversation turns into an awesome hockey-to-aviation deep dive, including his retirement flight and what comes next.

In This Episode:

• New year kickoff + a quick "beach day" story that gets awkward fast 🌴😅

Travel chaos from the North: snow, flights, and why the Q400 is a beast (but not exactly comfy) ✈️❄️

Rod's retirement flight recap + the wave of messages from the hockey world 🌺🏒

Hockey ↔ aviation parallels: why being a team player matters in both locker rooms and cockpits 🤝

The biggest shift in flying over the years: how 9/11 changed security and the whole feel of air travel 🛫

Rod's NHL road: Pittsburgh/LA/Chicago stories, including the Hollywood Kings era and how Gretzky changed the vibe 🎬

• Plus: the hilarious reason Rod ended up with #77 in LA 😄
