NEW - The Three-Hour Drive This Fan Makes More Than 41 Times a Year

Edmonton Oilers superfan known as McMullet just attended his 200th consecutive game. You're doing the math: he lives 30 minutes east of Calgary, drives two and a half hours north to Edmonton, then 30 minutes downtown. Three and a half hours each way. For every single home game. Including matchups against Columbus Blue Jackets. Including games during emotional breakdowns when the team struggles. He bought season tickets after being sober for a year when his wife told him to do something for himself. Now he helps others in recovery too.

Meanwhile, dental floss has expiry dates despite being string with no medical ingredients. Netflix greenlit a show where a man climbed Taipei 101's 1,800 feet with bare hands, creating content with only two possible endings: success or watching someone die in high definition on live television. The ethical question: is this different from Evel Knievel's Grand Canyon stunts, or does HD change everything? French climber Alain Robert did it with ropes in 2004 taking four hours. This guy did it ropeless. Oscar Meyer Wiener 500 returns with cars named after hot dog flavors racing around the Wiener Circle.

Three and a half hours each way for 200 consecutive games isn't fandom. It's commitment bordering on madness, powered by sobriety and wife encouragement. Netflix betting on either triumph or tragedy in 4K raises questions Evel Knievel never faced. Dental floss expires for reasons nobody can explain. The world keeps getting weirder.

Topics: Edmonton Oilers fan culture, sobriety through sports, Netflix extreme content, unnecessary product expiration, hockey dedication stories
