It’s been another wild week around here with the Oilers rollercoaster making another loop, and I’ve got a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never ready to recap it all. On today’s podcast, I talked about the Oilers‘ coaching conversation, Paul Coffey’s return, the winter Olympics, Snowmageddon, and much more.
I kicked off this week’s episode with a look at the Winter Olympics and how I’m starting to get sad that we’re already more than halfway through the games. I love the Winter Games, and it’s always such a bummer when they wrap because it means we have to wait another four years to watch weird sports again. I also spent some time digging into a Real Life Podcast story from Oshawa, which we covered a couple of weeks ago, after I found a Reddit thread dedicated to the situation that is too funny not to read. And if you’re wondering, I did talk about the Oilers a little bit, too.
Finally, I wrapped up this week’s episode of BLTN with a quick Righteous Sack Beating before closing out the podcast with another round of voicemails. The voicemail was busy again because of no show last week, and everyone’s takes ranged from what you’re nerdy about to Oilers talk and everything in between. The voicemail is the best way to wrap up the show and give everyone a chance to share their thoughts. Another hearty thank you to everyone who contributed to this week’s episode. Having all of you in the mix makes the show so much better.
