Better Lait Than Never

Your Wednesday wouldn't be the same without a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never to wrap up the day and help guide you through what's left of the week. On today's podcast, I'm talking about Oilers rumours, PTO targets, betting futures, reality dating shows, and a whole lot more.I kicked off this week's podcast with yet another conversation about reality dating shows. Not only do I love them, but I finally got through the newest season of Love Island USA, and I could not be happier about it finally coming to a close. Frankly, the seasons of that show are way too long, and it was standing in the way of watching a much better trash fire in Too Hot to Handle.Turning the podcast back to the Oilers, it seems like the news du jour after the Holloway/Broberg offer sheets is what the Oilers can do with their newfound cap flexibility. According to Daily Faceoff's Frank Seravalli, the Oilers are looking around the league for defensive upgrades, including the idea of bringing back a couple of old friends for another tour of duty. Yet, given the current depth chart, all of the options the Oilers seem to be looking at are RHD, which has plenty of us wondering if that's the right approach.Lastly, I wrapped up this week's show with some betting talk and an RSB about moving companies before working through another round of voicemails that were all over the map. The good news is that today's voicemails were a mixed bag of topics, which is always fun from my side of the microphone, and you fantastic folks did not disappoint.

I'm back from vacation, and the Oilers spent the week wheeling and dealing, so I had plenty to talk about in this week's episode of Better Lait Than Never.I started this week's podcast with a quick recap of my vacation to Toronto. It was incredibly relaxing until I ran into some travel delays. From seeing blink-182 again to Niagara Falls to driving around the city, I got up to a lot despite not being there for very long. That said, I think a week in the 6ix is my absolute limit, and I think it's important to add that it's incredibly nice to be back in Edmonton. Just me? Possibly.Turning the podcast to the Oilers, I started the news with a look at the Broberg/Holloway offer sheet situation that reached its conclusion yesterday morning. After a week of waiting, speculation, and a handful of moves by the team, the Oilers opted not to match the Blues' offers on their young players, and I wanted to talk about why they chose to let both guys walk. I also looked at the other trades that happened this past week, including the Cody Ceci deal everyone's been waiting years to see and the trade to bring in Vasily Podkolzin from Vancouver. Despite being in August, this last week was a spicy one for the Oilers.Lastly, I wrapped up this week's show with some betting talk, an RSB about airline travel, and worked through another round of voicemails that were all over the map yet again. The good news is that today's voicemails were a mixed bag of topics, which is always fun from my side of the microphone.

I'm supposed to be on vacation this week, but the St. Louis Blues came along and ruined things before I was even able to have a coffee this morning. *spits*Kicking off this week's podcast, I started the show with a quick recap of what my vacation plans were supposed to be and how this morning's news really threw a wrench into my Tuesday plans. The good news is that I'm always down to yell about the Oilers, and since it's been forever since we've gotten any news, why not poke my head out of my pillow fort to talk about Dylan Holloway and Philip Broberg?One thing I know for sure is that these offer sheets were the last thing the Oilers needed right now, which is why the Blues actually pulling the trigger on them is all the more annoying. Even though St. Louis didn't do anything wrong, it almost seemed like tendering offer sheets was a no-no on the GM's good guy guide to the galaxy, making today's news all the more surprising. Of course, it also didn't help to read how other fanbases are basically dancing in the street because someone is trying to screw Edmonton over. Hate us 'cause they ain't us? Possibly.Lastly, I wrapped up this week's show with some betting talk, a guest RSB, and another round of voicemails that were all over the map again, especially with where we're at in the off-season news cycle. The good news is that today's voicemails were a wild mixed bag of topics, which is always fun from my side of the microphone.

Just when I was enjoying the McWedding photo dump from Vogue, the St. Louis Blues had to come and drop a turd in the punchbowl with their duelling offersheets on Philip Broberg and Dylan Holloway. Instead of going back to bed as I should have, I decided to fire up the Rodecaster and knock out a short emergency episode of the podcast to talk about what's happened, what the Oilers' options are, and what I think they'll do over the next handful of days.

Your workweek is 60% done (probably), and that means a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never is edited, ready, and here to help you close in on the weekend.I started off this week's episode of BLTN with a random array of topics, which is par for the course in the middle of August. That said, these slow weeks do give me plenty of time to ramble about my love for terrible reality TV shows, meaningless summer observations, and whatever else is going on in my life. This past weekend, as an example, I spent a couple of days out in Sylvan Lake and a whole lot has changed since the last time I was out that way.Turning the podcast to the Oilers, I started off the news with a quick rundown of the content we're writing at Oilersnation.com and how it always impresses me the way we're able to keep things going without having much actual news to talk about. That said, finding things to write and talk about does get significantly more difficult at this point of the off-season. On the other hand, I will never tire of off-season Kool-Aid season even if that means spending weeks on end talking about Draisaitl's new contract.Lastly, I wrapped up this week's show with an RSB about the leaves changing colour already, even though I'm absolutely not ready for winter to roll back around. I then wrapped up the podcast with another round of voicemails that were all over the map again, especially with the news cycle being as slow as it is right now. The good news is that slow news weeks mean the voicemails get a whole lot weirder, which is always fun from my side of the microphone.

The best part of Wednesday is checking your favourite podcast app and seeing a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never waiting for you. The good news is that I'm back with a fresh podcast to massage your eardrums and give you a few laughs along the way.I started off this week's podcast with a dose of my usual nonsense. From getting into the Olympics to the stress of picking an NFL team to back, the best part of the off-season is filling my day with nonsense and shenanigans. If there's one thing I love more than anything, it's wasting everyone's time with nonsense and tomfoolery, and that's basically what the first 10 minutes of today's show were.Turning the podcast to the Oilers, I had to start with the Royal Wedding from this past weekend and how we still haven't seen much of anything in terms of news or pictures. One can assume they probably sold the rights to take photos to some magazine or something, but you'd have to imagine how many folks are patiently waiting for a glimpse into the McDavid wedding. Speaking of waiting, I then offered my take on the Leon Draisaitl contract extension and how it doesn't really matter when he signs the thing provided that it gets done.Lastly, I wrapped up this week's show with an RSB about robocalls and how annoying they are, given that there are seemingly endless iterations rolling in on a daily basis. I then wrapped up the podcast with another round of voicemails that were all over the map again, especially with the news cycle being as slow as it is right now. The good news is that slow news weeks mean the voicemails get a whole lot weirder, which is always fun from my side of the microphone.

I knew there was going to be a lot of voicemails to get through after the Oilers went out and hired Stan Bowman as their new GM, and that's why we've got another voicemail episode of the podcast set and ready to massage your earholes. If I'm being honest, though, I always love these episodes because I get to hear what you're thinking and it almost feels like we're in the room together. 💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/ Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/himynameisbaggedmilk/Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jsbmbaggedmilkSHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼 Star Mechanical: https://starmechanical.ca/ 👍🏼 bet365: http://bet365.com

The best part of your Wednesday is when you check your favourite podcast app and see a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never waiting for you. Thankfully, we've reached that special moment of the week once again.Here I thought today's episode of Better Lait Than Never was going to be ripe with shenanigans and talk of which NFL team I should hitch my wagon to for next season, but the Oilers came out with some big news today that dramatically changed the tone of my show. The Oilers announced via their social media channels that the team has hired Stan Bowman as the new general manager this morning, and I legitimately thought Oilers Twitter was about to explode.Getting into the shenanigans I had initially planned, I played the audio from Woz's trip to the dollar store to buy snacks for the staff at Nation HQ, and the results were hilarious. Not only did Woz accept the $20 snack challenge like a champ, but I actually thought he did a great job with it despite thinking straight saltines are a wonderful snack. Needless to say, sending Woz to the dollar store taught us a lot about how he operates, and it was a fascinating look inside his mind.Lastly, I wrapped up this week's show with a handful of guest RSBs about Stan Bowman and why the Oilers felt the need to go this route, given that there were likely other candidates that could have fit the bill. As you'll hear, people wanted their opinions on the subject to be heard, and I was happy to give them the platform to do so. I then wrapped up the podcast with another reminder that I'll be doing a voicemail episode of the podcast tomorrow since so many people had left messages over the last few days.
