It wouldn&#8217;t be a Monday afternoon without a fresh episode of Real Life to massage your earholes and help you get through the rest of the work week.
The guys kicked off the Monday episode of Real Life with a conversation about the brand-new Nation Beer and how we&#8217;ll have some upcoming watch-along events at Odd Company in the coming weeks. If you&#8217;re looking for an opportunity to get together, we&#8217;ll have some dates on the calendar coming very soon. Why not join us for a few pops and a viewing party? Stay tuned.
Turning the podcast back to the Oilers, the guys discussed <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2024/10/19/oilers-play-well-but-couldnt-beat-jake-oettinger-back-in-loss-column-with-4-1-final-in-dallas/">Saturday&#8217;s loss to the Stars</a> and how, given how well the team played, the result was incredibly disappointing. Since the game went off the rails despite a strong performance by the skaters, many Oilers fans pointed their finger squarely at Stuart Skinner and his early-season struggles. While it&#8217;s true that Stu is fighting it right now, there are also a handful of his teammates who are in the same boat.
Changing gears, we looked ahead at the Nation Vacation and how Jay is getting the Cleveland quarterback swap he was looking for despite it coming as a result of a horrific injury to Deshaun Watson. While happy that Watson won&#8217;t be the quarterback for the Browns any longer, Jay quickly clarified that he wanted a quarterback swap but did not want Watson to get hurt to make it happen. Ether way, this will make for an interesting angle to the football portion of the Nation Vacation.
Finally, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a conversation about the World Series after Erik Sabrowski and the Cleveland Guardians were knocked out of the playoffs. Now that Cleveland is out, the two teams that spend the most in the Yankees and Dodgers are the ones that will compete for the MLB championship. As much as the league probably loves that these two teams are in the finals, it certainly seems like baseball fans everywhere are not on board with this finale.
