I decided to drop two parts for Better Lait Than Never this week after receiving 9000 voicemails over the last seven days, which meant it was time to dig into your feedback from the week.  Unsurprisingly, the voicemails were hilarious right from the jump, and it’s so much fun for me to watch this segment grow and expand over time.

No better way to celebrate the halfway mark of your work week than with a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never!

The Edmonton Oilers made a handful of moves at the 2024 NHL Trade Deadline, but they weren't able to plug all of the holes they probably have. That left many Oilers fans wanting and wishing Ken Holland was able to do more than pick up Adam Henrique, Sam Carrick, and Troy Stecher. Were there even options for him to upgrade beyond those three? Were there deals they should have been in on? I gave my take on the Oilers' trade deadline and also read all of your feedback about how you thought the...

There's nothing quite like a big trade in the hours leading up to the new episode of Better Lait Than Never to liven up the podcast, amirite?

Before we got to the trade talk, I had to walk through a few different things first, including the...

Shoutout to this episode’s...

Never in my wildest imagination did I think that the next emergency podcast that I would do would be dedicated to Robin Brownlee? Earlier today, we lost Brownlee to a heart attack and I wanted to jump on and record something quickly about what he meant to me personally and how much he helped guide my career along. While many may remember him as the crusty writer you argued with online, he was also one of the best people you could ever hope to speak with once he got to now you. So, in this...

It must be your favourite day of the week because I've got a fresh episode of Better Lait Than Never recorded and set to massage your eardrums.

My boy was home for Christmas, and that gave me the perfect opportunity to record a podcast about everything and nothing at the same time. When the two of us get together, there is a seemingly endless list of topics to cover, and I’m pretty sure that we got to them all in this extended edition of Better Lait Than Never. If you're into a bunch of inside jokes, old stories, and laughs about all kinds of stuff, then this is the episode for you.
