You’re one day closer to the weekend, and the boys from the Real Life podcast want to help you get there with a fresh episode of the show to close out the week.
The gang started the Thursday episode of Real Life by discussing Connor McDavid and Lauren Kyle’s wedding and how no one except Wanye is excited about it. Despite trying to get the boys excited about the Oilers’ royal wedding, no one was buying what he was selling. Put another way, if the wedding was on TV, not one person said they would be willing to watch it.
Changing gears, Chalmers went on a classic rant about people getting famous for absolutely no reason after the Hawk Tuah girl started to get upwards of $30,000 for an appearance. What does she do for such a massive fee? It’s a fair question. That led the guys to wonder what the future will be for her once the 15 minutes of fame winds down. How long will it be until she has a podcast? How long will people even be willing to pay for appearances?
With Edmonton being as hot as it is this week, the guys talked about how they’re handling the heat. From ordering air conditioners to upping the Slurpee consumption, dealing with the heat hasn’t necessarily been easy but it is certainly preferable to what happens in the winter. Yet, on Better Lait Than Never, the informal poll Baggedmilk took was very much split down the weather about preferring the heat or the cold.
Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast with a random collection of topics, including Winston Churchill’s daily drinking habits, John Daly’s consumption during a round of golf, diving in soccer, and how many joints Snoop Dogg smokes in a day. Needless to say, the last 15 minutes of the show bopped around all over the place. If you love randomness, the end of the Thursday episode of Real Life is absolutely for you.
