We’re only hours away from Canada taking on the USA at the 4 Nations Face-Off, which meant an opportunity to talk about the 4 Nations final, dad stories, the Saturday Night Live 50th anniversary, and a whole lot more.
The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life by discussing the Canada vs. USA 4 Nations final, which is coming up on Thursday, and how that tournament engaged fans all over the continent. While many folks weren’t excited about the tournament before it began, it didn’t take long before all of those doubters were fully wrapped up in the moment. Needless to say, there is a very real appetite for best-on-best hockey, and this tournament is a perfect example of that.
Changing gears, Wanye told another dad story about going to pick up his little man from daycare and having his four-year-old son scream as loud as he could in his ear. As you’ll hear — see what we did there — Wanye is stumped about what to do after ChatGPT told him to seek medical attention if the problem doesn’t clear up in 24 hours. Wanye’s story inspired Chalmers to rant about his boys’ school schedule over the next two weeks, and how it’s impossible to understand how little class time his boys actually have.
Finally, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of Real Life with a chat about the Saturday Night Live 50th Anniversary Special. If you’re a big fan of the legendary sketch show, the amount of content that’s been coming out about the anniversary lately has been fantastic. As you’ll hear, Chalmers was incredibly excited about the special and was not shy about sharing his favourite moments.
