Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded and edited, and it’s ready to help you wrap up the week. On today’s podcast, the guys discussed their beefs of the week, life hacks, the NHL Trade deadline, Oilers moves, the Nation HQ snack controversy, and more.
The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a new order of operations: they started the podcast with their beefs of the week instead of wrapping up the show. Wanye started the segment with a drive-thru complaint after his breakfast order was missing both the egg and milk he was looking for. Jay followed up with a beef of the week of his own after he got told off in traffic for simply occupying his space.
Changing gears, the conversation turned to life hacks the fellas have amassed over the years, and how Wanye has a new parking hack at Rogers Place that he refuses to share. Somehow, talking about parking led to a discussion about the snacks at Nation HQ and how a few staffers are being accused of overindulging in the office fridge. As you’ll hear, the mission for the boys is to start capturing the greed red-handed and find a way to turn it into content.
Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast with the Thursday episode of Real Life with a run of topics, starting with the Nation Vacation to Vegas, the Oilers making moves ahead of the trade deadline, what they could potentially do before the buzzer, NHL insiders calling trades before they’re done, and whatever other random stories and items they could come up with to fill the time.
