On a scale from one to infinity, how excited were you to see that a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast was recorded, wrapped, and ready to carry you into the weekend? You’re very excited, and everybody knows it.

The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life by discussing how Sportsnet was duped by an Oilersnation April Fools article from years ago in a recent post about McDavid escaping additional discipline for an elbow against the Wild. As you’ll hear, the boys had a healthy chuckle about Sportsnet’s mishap and how the article still isn’t fixed even 14 hours later. That led to the guys discussing whether or not McDavid deserved some kind of fine after that elbow.

Sticking with Connor McDavid, the guys spent some time making up fan fiction about No. 97’s home life and tried to imagine what silly arguments he has with his wife. Do they argue about walking the dog? Dishes? Do they have people to handle those day-to-day items? Obviously, we’ll never know the answers to those questions unless the couple invites people into their home for a reality show or something, but that didn’t stop the boys from having fun imagining scenarios anyway.

Changing gears, the guys looked ahead at the Jasper Pond Hockey tournament and how the boys are incredibly excited to get back to the Jasper Park Lodge for the third annual tourney. Not only is it a good time in a beautiful location, but it’s also geared at raising money for a great cause. Given that Baggedmilk, Chalmers, and Tyler have been to the tournament for three straight years, they walked through some of the logistics from the weekend and how they plan to party at this year’s event.

Finally, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of Real Life with a conversation about Baggedmilk’s Dollars for Dogs journey, and how he’s already raised $2000 in just over three days. Given the success of the bit, the question became how long he can keep this bit going. Is it a week? Is it longer than that? With a seemless transition to the Real Life weight loss challenge, Baggedmilk and Chalmers gave updates about what their new routines are looking like and how they’re doing with the changes.
