Welcome, citizens, to a brand new episode of the Real Life Podcast! With the NHL regular season nearly upon us, the boys were fired up in anticipation of watching some meaningful games again and couldn’t hide their excitement.

To kick off today’s podcast, Jay regaled the boys with tales from his Finnish vacation, including a look at the hockey culture they’ve got going on as well as rubbing elbows with a pair of @Edmonton Oilers legends. Before finishing his story, though, Chalmers jumped in to interrupt and ask questions about the new podcast studio. Studio complaints behind them, Jay got back to his travel stories and offered updates on a few former friends in Jesse Puljujarvi and Nail Yakupov. From there, the stories took a strange twist as Jay gave the guys the ins and outs from his 24-hour stint in Russia. As North Americans, we often think of Russia as a wild place to visit and Jay’s stories seemed to confirm that fact. Finally, it wouldn’t be a Real Life Podcast without closing out the episode with a recap of what’s going on in the Big Brother house.
