The best part of your Wednesday is when you check your favourite podcast app and see a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never waiting for you. Thankfully, we’ve reached that special moment of the week once again.

Here I thought today’s episode of Better Lait Than Never was going to be ripe with shenanigans and talk of which NFL team I should hitch my wagon to for next season, but the Oilers came out with some big news today that dramatically changed the tone of my show. The Oilers announced via their social media channels that the team has hired Stan Bowman as the new general manager this morning, and I legitimately thought Oilers Twitter was about to explode.

Getting into the shenanigans I had initially planned, I played the audio from Woz’s trip to the dollar store to buy snacks for the staff at Nation HQ, and the results were hilarious. Not only did Woz accept the $20 snack challenge like a champ, but I actually thought he did a great job with it despite thinking straight saltines are a wonderful snack. Needless to say, sending Woz to the dollar store taught us a lot about how he operates, and it was a fascinating look inside his mind.

Lastly, I wrapped up this week’s show with a handful of guest RSBs about Stan Bowman and why the Oilers felt the need to go this route, given that there were likely other candidates that could have fit the bill. As you’ll hear, people wanted their opinions on the subject to be heard, and I was happy to give them the platform to do so. I then wrapped up the podcast with another reminder that I’ll be doing a voicemail episode of the podcast tomorrow since so many people had left messages over the last few days. Oh, and subscribe to my YouTube channel.
