Food takes, Oilers at the trade deadline recap, and a March Madness bracket challenge

Nation Real Life

It's Monday afternoon, and that means it's time for a fresh episode of the Real Life podcast to make sense of the world around us. This week, the guys discussed the Oilers' trade deadline and food takes and talked about some player movement that's happening in the NFL.

Starting off the Monday episode of Real Life, the podcast kicked off with a friendly banter about why this podcast hasn't had a new intro in months, immediately transitioning to Tyler's Door Dash order from Saturday. This casual conversation about food delivery led the hosts down a delightful rabbit hole of food takes, making the audience feel like they're part of the conversation.

Shifting the focus back to the Oilers, the hosts walked the audience through Edmonton's rollercoaster weekend. From a disappointing performance in Buffalo on Saturday to a satisfying rebound against the Penguins on Sunday, the inconsistency in their game was undeniably frustrating.

The guys then discussed what the Vegas Golden Knights were able to do at the trade deadline, with Mark Stone and Alec Martinez both being added to the LTIR. That led to a discussion about whether or not the NHL needs to close that loophole, given how often it's been used over the last handful of years.

Lastly, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with an array of random topics, including the new season of Full Swing and Jake Paul fighting Mike Tyson a little bit later in the summer. The guys also decided that this would be the year everyone gets into March Madness, and issued a challenge for the podcast hosts to come up with their angle on the tournament.
