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 Oilers’ disaster, the winter Olympics, Super Bowl betting, and more.
The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a conversation about Chalmers’ diet and how his upcoming trip to Mexico inspired him to get back into shape. The problem, of course, is that getting back into shape means that he’s drinking so much water that he’s constantly in the bathroom peeing. As much as he feels better after working out and cutting sugar from his diet, hearing his beef with water was the most Chalmers way to describe the lifestyle change.
Changing gears, the conversation turned to the Olympics and how everyone is amped to watch the games despite the time difference between Italy and Canada tossing a wrench in the mix. As you’ll hear, Chalmers thought he had a system in place to make sure he knew what time to watch live sports, but a quick pressure test on the system quickly poked a few holes in the plan. Either way, the boys will all have the Olympics on TV and act as experts despite not knowing a lick about what’s going on.
Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast with the Thursday episode of Real Life with a run of topics, starting with beefs of the week, the Oilers being a total disaster in their last week before the break, and ran through a list of Super Bowl bets. While the boys tried to keep the podcast on the rails, the reality is that not having Tyler on the podcast really makes staying on track ends up being impossible. As always, the Thursday episode of Real Life covered a wide range of topics, and the boys had a blast recording it.
