Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and ready to help you through the rest of your work week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed Tuesday's Game 1 win, Calvin Pickard taking over the net, what to expect in Game 2, and much more.

The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life by discussing the Oilers' making it through Game 1 with one of their more complete postseason games so far. Given that everyone expected Vegas to blow them out, especially after dropping two goals early, watching the boys come roaring back over the final 50 minutes was every shade of fun. The question on everyone's mind after a win like that is whether the Oilers can keep the train rolling in Game 2. 

Taking a hard pivot from the Oilers talk, the boys discussed the new pope getting announced earlier Thursday afternoon. Given that he will be known as Pope Leo, is that a good omen for our beloved Leon Draisaitl? The betting boys on the podcast certainly think so. Sticking with the papal talk, Wanye then told a story from when he was living in Mexico and had the airport shut down when the former pope landed in Mexico City. 

Changing gears once again, Jay recapped his trip to Toronto with a story about how the city didn't seem that into the playoffs even though the Leafs were in Round 2. Jay spoke about how quiet bars and pubs were while he was there and how it was also a challenge to find anyone who would play the Oilers game. Somehow, taking shots at the city of Toronto led to a discussion about the Utah Mammoth logo reveal, and everyone also learned how much it bothers Tyler that the name wasn't pluralized.
