There’s no better way to spend a Wednesday night than with a cold beer and a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never, amirite? This week, I talked about the Edmonton heat wave, brought you up to date on all of the Oilers news, and took your voicemails to work through whatever is on your mind.
Kicking off this week’s podcast, I got started with a little bit of music talk. Not only did I watch and love the new Nickelback documentary that’s up on Netflix, but I also premiered a brand new BLTN original song that made me laugh out loud. I always get excited any time new music comes into the podcast, and this week’s tune was no exception. Simply amazing.
Turning the show back to the Oilers, I walked through the little bits of news that have come out over the last week, including Matt Savoie appearing at development camp, Leon Draisaitl’s agent feeling confident a deal will get done, and Raphael Lavoie signing a fresh contract to stay in Edmonton. At this time of the year, there’s never much going on, but that doesn’t mean there wasn’t plenty to talk about when it comes to the Oilers.
Lastly, I wrapped up this week’s show with a pair of guest RSBs and capped off the pod with another round of voicemails ranging from summer in Edmonton, Oilers talk, Jeff Jackson, and everything in between. Once again, this podcast really is one of my favourite parts of the week, and I’m so very grateful for the levels of participation by the wonderful BLTN community that keeps moving. Oh, and subscribe to my YouTube channel.
