It wouldn&#8217;t be a Thursday afternoon without a fresh episode of Real Life to massage your earholes and help you get through the rest of the work week.
The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with some playoff baseball talk, including which teams are acceptable to cheer for with the Jays failing to make the postseason. Considering some of the storylines happening in the baseball postseason, Tyler offered his takes on who we should be rooting for and who we should be cheering against.
Changing gears, the guys kicked off some hockey talk with a discussion about the Jeremy Swayman situation in Boston and how that contract negotiation is turning toxic in a real hurry. Seeing as Swayman and Stuart Skinner are the same age and in nearly the same situation, Oilers fans should be watching this situation very carefully since this could become a direct comparable at contract time.
Midway through the goalie contract conversation, Jay walked into the podcast studio with a jar of pickles and completely derailed the conversation. After a quick pickle food review, the guys pivoted into a conversation about what flavour and type of chips reign supreme. As far as pointless chats go, the chip debate was as pointless as it gets.
The podcast then got real when Chalmers told a story about his wife&#8217;s secret sibling that no one knew about. As you&#8217;ll hear, the story of having a lost sibling connect after all these years of not knowing each other is almost unbelievable but truly exciting. The funny part about the revelation was that Chalmers wasn&#8217;t sure if the boys would want to hear the story even though it&#8217;s probably the realest Real Life story ever.
Finally, the fellas wrapped up the Thursday episode with another round of Keep It or Cut It. Tyler pitched a few different scenarios for the boys to keep or cut, including some MLB playoff talk, the Amazon Prime NHL docuseries, and whether or not Noah Philp has done enough in the pre-season to earn a spot with the Edmonton Oilers.
