It’s Thursday afternoon, which means a new episode of Real Life is recorded and ready to discuss the world around us. On today’s podcast, the guys discuss their trade deadline expectations, Jay’s vacation to Paris, the drama surrounding the weight loss challenge, and much more.

The guys started the Thursday episode of the podcast with a conversation about the NHL trade deadline and how no one really knows what to expect from the league’s annual swap n’ shop. With plenty of trades already happening in the days and weeks leading up to the deadline, it will be interesting to see how much movement actually happens on the last trading day. Will the Oilers be active, or will it disappoint the fanbase?

Changing gears, the guys discussed Jay’s vacation to Paris and how he did not waste an opportunity to enjoy all the delicious food he encountered. Chalmers called him out for his unsanctioned weigh-in before he left and said his win shouldn’t count as a result. Everyone weighed in for an official marker, and Jay gained six pounds while away. So what does that mean for the weight loss challenge? No one can be sure.

Sticking with the food talk, Chalmers went on a classic rant about restaurant menus in other languages because he constantly has to Google what everything is. As you’ll hear, he was incredibly spicy about his trip to an Italian restaurant, and it was hilarious to hear him melt down about menus at fancy establishments. No one else in the room seems to have the same issue, but that didn’t stop Chalmers from voicing his opinion on the issue.

Finally, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of Real Life with an array of topics, including social media viral moments, NFL free agency, and what everyone expects the Oilers to do at the trade deadline. As always, the hour flew by as the guys ripped through their topics and wrapped up just as quickly because Tyler had to bail for a trade deadline show rehearsal.
