It’s Monday afternoon, meaning a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast is back, edited, and ready to massage your earholes.
The guys started the podcast with a conversation about pop after Tyler walked into the studio with a Kicking Back Cola. That led the guys to talk about whether or not they subscribe to the idea that off-brand colas are comparable to the originals. Thankfully, Inspector Chalmers was on the case and found research to confirm some of the myths about Kirkland brand items being the same as major competitors.
Talking about white labelling products led Chalmers to want to discuss Jeff Bezos’s potential purchase of the Boston Celtics for upward of $6 billion. Considering the wealth Jeff Bezos can amass, the guys wondered what the team’s future might look like and how he would plan to integrate their game-day experience into the Amazon orbit. Sticking with stadium talk, Chalmers talked about seeing Metallica on Friday night at Commonwealth and how that stadium is NOT equipped to handle the number of people it can hold.
Changing gears, the conversation moved to the Oilersnation Open and how the bidding on the auction to golf with the boys really got out of hand. Not only did the auction total go well beyond what anyone expected, but thanks to some quick thinking from Tyler, both bid finalists will be golfing because everyone felt bad if someone missed out. Needless to say, Friday’s tournament will be an incredible day, and the boys are very excited to hit the links and get going.
