From trying haggis for the first time to dabbling with local beers to watching the NFL in a soccer stadium, Jay got a lot of life done in a very short amount of time. From there, the discussion shifted to the Oilers' season opener, which was an incredibly frustrating result given how well the boys started the game. Starting with a look at the new guys, Chalmers admitted that he didn't know who some of the new guys were, which led to the boys dunking on him repeatedly. Despite hearing many of these names multiple times, Finally, the guy

The good news is that there's only one tune-up game left to slog through until the regular season begins, and that means we're so close to getting going for real. Talking about the season led the guys to discuss Kirill Kaprizov's contract extension and whether it affects Connor McDavid's negotiations. Taking a hard turn, Tyler asked the boys which animal they would choose to speak with if they could somehow speak the same language. While this may have been a throwaway comment by Tyler, the boys took the question way more seriously than he probably expected. From

Tyler gave the group his takeaways and then revealed that he might not actually be all that excited for this season to start. That led to a grilling from Jay and the group talked about why they are stoked for the puck to drop on October 8th.From there, they talked about a couple of Netflix documentaries that they’re working through.

As you'll hear, there are 40 chairs at Nation HQ, and that is way too many for our man, even though Baggedmilk passionately disagrees with him. Yet, as the conversation continued, the guys seemed to find a solution that would both rid the office of some of the useless chairs while not liquidating the office of potential seating options. Changing gears, Liam also walked through his quarterback betting rankings after a tough run of betting sank his weekend. As you'll hear, Liam's colour-coded quarterback system is based mainly on vibes and sometimes on the total body of work. While

It was also interesting to hear Tyler's perspective on the day because even getting to the golf course on Monday wasn't exactly smooth.Walking through the day, it was interesting to hear Tyler give his version of what happened and what adjustments he would make before the rematch. From taking more breaks to slowing down his swings between balls, there are more versions of

Somehow, talking about the studio move led to a conversation about buying an industrial ice maker for your residence. Too much? Good living?Changing gears, the boys spoke about buying and selling items on Facebook Marketplace. While Baggedmilk and Chalmers have never moved any units on Facebook, producer Eli walked the boys through how he's currently selling his car on the platform.

Probably, but Tyler's annoyance did lead to another round of talking about the Coldplay concert incident.Changing gears, Tyler then spoke about the putting green he built over the weekend, and how wedding guests will use it to earn more drink tickets. With drinks only $2 each, the idea of doubling your number of drink tickets seems unnecessary, but that doesn't mean everyone won't still have a good time anyway. Sti
