Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and ready to help you through the rest of your work week. On today’s podcast, the guys discussed Oodle Noodle’s origin story, Connor McDavid’s return to the lineup, meme coins, and much more.
The guys started the Thursday show with a history of Oodle Noodle as the Jay and Wanye-led restaurant chain turned 20 years old on Thursday. From how they formed a relationship with the founder, Sonny, to travelling to Vietnam to formalize the relationship, hearing the Oodle Noodle origin story was a wonderful trip down memory lane.
Changing gears, the guys discussed Connor McDavid’s return to the lineup on Wednesday night against the St. Louis Blues and how his surprising return was not only welcomed but also incredibly productive. Not only was it incredible to see McDavid back on the ice with his teammates, but to have him go supernova in his first time out was an incredible display of dominance in a game Edmonton needed to win.
Unable to stick to one topic for more than a few seconds, the conversation shifted to Wanye’s Tyler Yaremchuk A.I. doll, which prompted Yaremchuk to confess that he is Oilersnation. If you’ve seen the photo, A.I. did a fantastic job creating a Tyler doll, but Yaremchuk worries that people will think he’s making these images of himself. Could this be a long con to get Tyler even more hate than he already does online? Stay tuned.
Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast with a collection of random topics that ranged from the Masters tournament, NBA shenanigans, and some betting talk about all things sports. As always, the Thursday episode of Real Life was as random as it was enjoyable.
