Real Life Podcast Episode 114: Nicholson, #KeepNugeForever, and Viva Las Vegas

Mar 25, 2019, 19:42 EDT
Welcome, welcome, welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to another edition of the Real Life Podcast! As always, the boys are back with another 60 minutes of ear-filling wisdom that you won’t want to miss. This week, we’re talking more Bob Nicholson, trying to figure out where the Ryan Nugent-Hopkins trade rumours are coming from, and recap the amazing #NationVacation to Las Vegas that happened a little bit earlier in the month.
It was a different flavour for the Real Life podcast this week as Baggedmilk and the Squire flew solo with Wanye wrapped up in some business calls and Chalmers in the middle of a family vacation. Despite the lineup temporary lineup change, the show must go on so the boys dove into the latest happenings with the Edmonton Oilers, including the fallout from Bob Nicholson’s comments regarding Tobias Rieder, Ken Hitchcock’s mysterious three-year deal, and the strange trade rumours surrounding Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. With the angering business out of the way, the boys wanted to pivot to something a little bit more fun, so they went through the ins and outs of the #NationVacation to Las Vegas and how the whole trip came about in the first place. With that in mind, the Squire and Producer Jared walked us through the process from concept to completion on the Vegas road trip, what can be improved, and what to expect from the next time the Nation does something like this. Needless to say, the boys had such an amazing time with all of the Nation citizens that came with us and the ones they met down in LV that it seems like a no-brainer that a trip like this needs to happen again. All-in-all, it was another jam-packed episode that you’re going to want to sink into your earholes.
