Better Lait Than Never

Wednesday afternoon can only mean one thing: The weird niche podcast you listen to is back with a fresh episode. On this week's Better Lait Than Never, I wrapped up the Dollars for Dogs campaign with a thank you to everyone who participated, looked at Connor McDavid's three-game suspension, and much more. I kicked off this week's podcast by thanking everyone who participated in the Dollars for Dog...

Eight days, 25 hot dogs, and over $6000 raised for charity. What a week! Since I’m doing the Dollars for Dogs charity campaign this week, I figured I’d stop in with a few additional updates from the podcast to keep everyone updated on how it’s going. How many hot dogs did I eat? How much money have we raised for SCARS? How close am I to quitting the whole thing? 💻 Website: https://oilersnation.co...

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...

For whatever reason, the Edmonton Oilers' schedule is so weird this season. As a result, we find ourselves in a mini bye week that isn't technically a bye week but is indeed boring us all like one. On the bright side, the lack of games meant more time for shenanigans on this week's episode of Better Lait Than Never. I started this week's podcast by discussing my excitement for this week's #NationV...

It wouldn't be a Wednesday without your favourite podcast no one has ever heard of serving up a fresh episode to massage your earholes and guide you through what's left of the week. I kicked off this week's podcast with a behind-the-scenes update from Nation HQ that had basically the whole staff cheering for Oilers losses. I know that sounds like something that shouldn't happen at a company called...

The Oilers opened their season with a 6-0 beatdown at the hands of the Winnipeg Jets, and I don’t think I’m talking out of school when I say that this was not the start any of us wanted to see. The good news is that a bunch of the VMs that came in this week were from before that horrible first game even happened, so the podcast was still filled with hope... kinda. 💻 Website: https://oilersna...

I started this week's podcast with a rant abo...

There's an Oilers pre-season game against the Jets happening tonight, which meant I had to get myself organized if I was going to record the podcast in time to get settled in for the game. Kicking off the podcast, I started the show with some brand new music from Dangersuede after I spent the last few weeks asking why the BLTN original tunes had stopped flowing in. Seeing as I hadn't listened to t...

It's Thursday afternoon, and that means your favourite post is finally here after making you wait a day longer than usual. Are you excited? Of course you are. I started this week's podcast with a quick run through of our Oilersnation annual planning meetings that I just got home from, which was also the reason why the show was late by a day.

You fantastic folks had so much to say this week that the only option I had was to record another voicemail episode to get everyone’s takes in. Whether we were talking about the Draisaitl extension, hating wasps, and everything in between, we’re getting to a point when the voicemails almost need their own episode every week. Most importantly, this is my third episode of BLTN in the last three days...
