Thursday afternoon means a new episode of the Real Life Podcast is ready to wrap up your week and help you navigate the rest of it. On today&#8217;s show, the guys discussed the Nation Christmas party, Babe Rwuth theories, and some love for Zach Hyman&#8217;s toughness.
The boys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a discussion about the Nation Christmas party that happened last night at Nation HQ and how the party rolled on until 4 AM for some of the staff. After spending literally two seconds recapping the party, the conversation turned to a much darker place. If you&#8217;ve never heard the Babe Ruth stories from back in the day, this first section of the podcast will be illuminating.
From there, the conversation turned back to the White Elephant gift exchange at the Nation Christmas party and how it was an elite way to spend an hour. Not only were there endless steals, but the chaos that ensued as the rounds progressed was thrilling to witness. That also led to the boys discussing whether it&#8217;s fair game to take your own present back, provided you&#8217;re not thrilled with the other options.
Moving the show back to the Oilers, the guys started the discussion with some love for Zach Hyman after getting his nose broken and returning to play the very next period. If you&#8217;ve seen the pictures of him from practice Thursday morning, it&#8217;s incredible to think of how tough the guy has to be to keep playing with that kind of injury. The fellas also covered the disappointing loss to the Florida Panthers on Monday, and how it was an annoying blip during what has been a fantastic stretch of hockey.
Finally, Chalmers asked the guys for their opinion on using the app Splitwise, and if it ever makes sense to split costs equally. While there are certainly times when splitting the bill makes sense, getting too much into the weeds on expenses can really ruin the vibe of a trip. As you&#8217;ll hear, no one on the podcast subscribes to this kind of thing, and you&#8217;d be better off not inviting them anywhere if you are.
