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 the Masters Tournament, the Oilers‘ big win in San Jose, Connor Ingram and Jason Dickinson getting banged up, best in-person sports, and much more.
The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a conversation about Jay’s lack of attendance on the podcast and how the boys want to play a trick on him, knowing he won’t listen to the show. If you listen to this week’s episode, all the boys are asking is to help out with the bit. Sticking with TNN’s suite of podcasts, the guys spent a few minutes talking about the network’s shows and how the whole operation actually works.
Changing gears, the conversation turned to the Masters and how Chalmers and Tyler were so excited for the tournament to get going. After the horrible spring we’ve had in Edmonton, the boys are using the Masters weekend as their kick-off point for their own summer of swing. As you’ll hear, the Masters isn’t just something to watch on TV, but rather a tipping point into a summer of golf. Point being, this is a big deal for 2/3 hosts.
Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast on the Thursday episode of Real Life with a run of topics, starting with some Oilers talk about the team’s magic number and what they need to do to win the Pacific Division. Starting with Connor McDavid’s brilliance over the last two games, and how he’s playing his best hockey at the right time of the year. Turning back to the Masters, the boys took guesses at what they could do for a score in a round at Augusta, which led to talking about what sports would be the best to watch in person.
