March Madness, Shohei Ohtani's translator, and a little bit of Oilers talk

It's Thursday afternoon, and that means a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast is all set and ready to massage your earholes. This week, the guys discussed the start of March Madness, the big Shohei Ohtani news, and gave a few takes on the Edmonton Oilers while they were at it. Kicking off the Thursday episode of Real Life, the guys got started with a look at the Oilersnation March Madness bracket and how one of the favourites has already been eliminated from the tournament. With brackets across the Nation ruined after only one game, the guys had a good time walking through the first couple hours of the NCAA's big moment. Changing gears, the guys spent the next few minutes talking about sports betting after the news broke this week that Shohei Ohtani's translator was fired for allegedly gambling on sports. Given how much money some of these companies are investing in pro leagues, is it really surprising to find out that people close to the game are putting bets down?Turning the podcast back to the Oilers, the guys looked at tonight's rematch versus the Buffalo Sabres and how a win in this game would put Edmonton that much closer to catching the Vancouver Canucks. At 7-1-2 in their last 10 games, the Oilers definitely have a chance to chase down Vancouver, but they'll need to pick up wins against teams like the Sabres to make that happen.  Hosted on Acast.
