It wouldn't be Wednesday without a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never to massage your earholes with an hour of Oilers-adjacent nonsense. This week, I talked a little bit more about the Dogs for Dogs charity campaign, the Oilers' cursed third period against the Florida Panthers, Zach Hyman's poor face, and a whole lot more.

Now that the Dogs for Dogs charity bit is settled and set for January, I started the podcast with a quick update on where we're at regarding the per-hot dog pledges and where I think we could still end up. If I'm being honest, the fact that anybody is willing to support this nonsense idea with real money is beyond me, but now that we're here, I'm vowing to do my best to raise as much money as possible.

Turning the podcast back to the Oilers, I started the news with a podcast confession about Monday's loss to the Florida Panthers. You may have thought it was the team's fault that they fell apart in the third period and lost the game, but the real story features a lot more big curse energy. Either way, losing to the Panthers the way the boys did was a turd in the punchbowl on what was otherwise a fantastic week. You win some, you lose some, I guess.

Finally, I wrapped up this quick episode of BLTN with a Righteous Sack Beating about spam calls before wrapping up the show with another round of voicemails. I swear that if my phone rings, there's a better than 60% chance that it's going to be a garbage call, and it's incredibly annoying. The inbox was quieter this week, but I still got a healthy chuckle from your ideas and feedback. As always, I sat back and laughed while listening to everything that's been on your mind over the last seven days.

I'm finally back in my comfort cave after a week on the road, which meant I was excited to have the time for a regularly scheduled episode of the Better Lait Than Never. This week, I recapped my trip to Toronto, spoke about The Sheet launch event, and covered all the cool things that are happening with the Oilers.

I started this week's podcast episode by recapping my trip to Toronto. While I went to the 6ix for work purposes, a big part of the story was the Sheet launch event for Jeff Marek's new show. I don't usually get invited to events like that, so experiencing it firsthand and watching the spectacle play out was incredibly interesting. More in line with expectations, however, was my continued love-hate relationship with being in Toronto. It's fun for a few days, but then it's definitely time to leave.

Turning the podcast back to the Edmonton Oilers, I started with Saturday's matchup vs. the St. Louis Blues. Obviously, Philip Broberg and Dylan Holloway made their first trip back to Edmonton after signing those offer sheets, and it didn't take long for the Rogers Place faithful to let them have it. Was the booing too much? I gave my take. With those two out of the way, I got to a bunch of good news from around the Nation, as there are a bunch of our boys stepping up in a very big way to turn the season around.

Finally, I wrapped up this quick episode of BLTN with a Righteous Sack Beating about driving in the winter before wrapping up the show with another round of voicemails. As much as dumps of snow happen yearly, it's almost like people forget not to drive like heroes when it happens. The inbox was quieter this week, but I still got a healthy chuckle from your ideas and feedback. As always, I sat back and laughed while listening to everything that's been on your mind over the last seven days.

I'm back from the Denver #NationVacation, which means it's time to recap the trip and personally thank everyone who made it so special. Oh, and there's plenty of Oilers talk in there, too. This week's episode was all over the map, but I hope you enjoyed it anyway.

Kicking off this week's episode of Better Lait Than Never, I started with a thank you to everyone who made their way to Denver for the first #NationVacation of the season. Not only was the trip filled with Oilers dubs — the OT winner by Nuge was made just for me — but more importantly, some incredible people. I then spent the next few minutes complaining about how I'd be heading back to the airport in a few hours to catch a flight to Toronto for some work meetings.

Turning the podcast back to the Oilers, I started with the wins over Utah and Colorado because I wanted to kick things off with some good news. Those two wins—three if you count the Rangers game—made the Oilers look much more like themselves, and their ability to fill the net was a significant factor in the result. Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long, as the winning streak ended Tuesday in Vegas with a shutout loss to the Golden Knights.

Finally, I wrapped up this quick episode of BLTN with a Righteous Sack Beating about the CAD/USD exchange rate before wrapping up the show with another round of voicemails. I love travelling, but man does it ever hurt Uncle Mastercard when it's time to pay it back. The inbox was quieter this week, but I still got a healthy chuckle from your ideas and feedback. As always, I sat back and laughed while listening to everything that's been on your mind over the last seven days.
