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 Wanye’s favourite coffee shop closing, food preferences, the Oilers’ 10th chance to win three straight games, the winter Olympics, and more.
The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a conversation about Wanye’s favourite coffee spot closing down after their lease was not renewed by the building owner. Given that this specific location was part of his daily routine, it’s a real problem for Wanye, and now he’s concerned about which spot will take up his time and commitment. Talking about a closed coffee shop led the boys to talk about their favourite places to get a cup of joe.
Changing gears, the conversation turned to foods the guys don’t like as adults, foods they hoped they would have come to appreciate as they got older. As you’ll hear, two of the boys have some interesting quirks with their food preferences, while the other two will happily eat whatever is in front of their faces. The most important part of the conversation is that the boys are all over the map about what they’ll eat and what they won’t.
Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast with the Thursday episode of Real Life with some Oilers talk, as the team looks for their first three-game winning streak of the season on their 10th attempt. Given that the San Jose Sharks are in town and Macklin Celebrini is having a MVP-calibre season, tonight’s Pacific Division battle feels like a huge test for an Edmonton club that has lost as many games as they’ve won.
