It’s Wednesday evening, which means a new episode of Better Lait Than Never has been recorded, edited, and mastered to perfection. It is ready to massage your brain feelings with an hour of Oilers-adjacent discussion.

I kicked off this week’s podcast with a random collection of topics from my life, including my first taste of Vikings disappointment, how bad I suck at PS5, a recap of another horrible dating show, and a preview of Dollars for Dogs. As always, the first few minutes of the podcast were all over the map, which is almost a real-time look at how my brain works. I also offered another plea to everyone listening about why they should join us on the Nation Vacation to Vegas, and how waiting too long could mean you miss out.

Turning the podcast back to the Oilers, I started with a quick recap of last night’s 4-0 beatdown of the Boston Bruins and how that was one of the most complete games the boys have played all season. Not only did they win that game, but it wasn’t ever close, and things could have really gotten out of hand had it not been for Jeremy Swayman. I also touched on some secondary point streaks that have kicked up lately and how important it is for Edmonton’s success to have players not named McDavid and Draisaitl contributing regularly.

Finally, I wrapped up this quick episode of BLTN with a Righteous Sack Beating about the Oilers needing to get tougher before wrapping up the show with another round of voicemails. The inbox was quiet again for the third consecutive week, but I still got a healthy chuckle from your ideas, feedback, and voicemails. As always, I sat back and laughed while listening to everything that’s been on your mind over the last seven days.
