Another Thursday is upon us and that means a brand new episode of the Real Life Podcast is here and ready to get you set for the weekend. On today’s show, the guys looked at the Tom Wilson situation in Washington, the NHL Department of Player Safety, and a whole lot more.
Kicking things off, the boys jumped into the episode with some more food talk which seems to be a running theme with the podcast lately. From a new Oodle Noodle location to maraschino cherries, the food takes were flowing in the first few minutes. Back to hockey, the guys got into the shenanigans that happened between the Rangers/Capitals last night after the NHL Department of Player Safety refused to suspend Tom Wilson for what happened the night before. Surprisingly, the boys were split on the events from the Rangers/Capitals game and how the NHL handled the situation, and as you’ll hear, the argument caused some tension amongst the boys. Trying to get things back on the rails, the guys started to talk about the Oilers as a means of easing the tensions but it didn’t really work out as planned. Needless to say, this is one of the spiciest episodes of the Real Life podcast that we’ve had in a while and we cannot wait to hear your feedback.
