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 Ace Race, behind the scenes from the day, some Oilers talk, and much more.
The guys kicked off this week’s episode of Real Life with a conversation about the Ace Race, and how frustrated Tyler is that he wasn’t able to get the job done for the second year in a row. While there was some close calls throughout the day, the fact that he didn’t get a lucky bounce of any kind was every shade of annoying. The guys also discussed some of the behind the scenes stories that didn’t come out on the stream.
Sticking with the Ace Race, the guys discussed what they thought of the day and what a third attempt might look like next summer if Tyler even agrees to do it. That led to the guys workshopping some ideas on how they could make the event more interesting, or even what other streams they could do with the staff at Nation HQ. Whether it’s locking someone in the office or thinking of something else entirely, the reality is that having more Megastreams is definitely something that the boys want to do. Finally, how could they discuss the Ace Race without mentioning… the crow incident.
Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast on the Thursday episode of Real Life with a run of topics, starting with the Battle of the Donairs, Wanye’s Oilers influencer story, and how this player has pivoted from being a pro athlete into a content creator… or did he? The guys also discussed Tyler’s new found itch to travel beyond his rule of nothing more than a six-hour flight.
