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 Tyler’s buddy potting a hole-in-one, the Ace Race, Evan Bouchard getting hurt at the Worlds, and much more.
The guys kicked off this week’s episode of Real Life with a conversation about Chalmers coincidentally running into one of Tyler’s friends at work and not recognizing him, despite having met many times before. That led Tyler to tell the story about that same friend getting a hole-in-one out in Mundare on a hole that was nearly the same length as the hole as the Ace Race. As you’ll hear, the boys wanted to do something fun for the milestone, but the course didn’t seem to have anything prepared.
Shifting gears, the boys discussed Tyler’s second attempt at the Ace Race and gave the boys a quick update on what he has planned for July 13th. Given that he couldn’t get the job done last summer, Tyler walked through the adjustments he plans to make ahead of this second attempt to get the job done. Turning back to the Oilers, the boys discussed Evan Bouchard taking a high hit at the Worlds and requiring assistance to get off the ice. Seeing Bouch get hurt prompted a conversation about whether or not it made sense for any of Edmonton’s players to even go.
Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast on the Thursday episode of Real Life with a run of topics, starting with a break down of Drake’s three new albums, beefs of the week, and how it seems like the MLB is destined for a lockout next season. Even with the lack of Oilers news, it’s always remarkable to hear the boys avoid topics like absolute professionals.
