Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you wrap up the week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed Chalmers' Disneyland adventure, the Oilers' continuous struggles, Trent Frederic's struggles, and much more.
The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a look at Chalmers' trip to Disneyland, and how he surprised a family member for a milestone birthday. As a group of 13 people, going to Disneyland became a much larger task and cost than initially expected. From the pirate-themed Airbnb they stayed at to spending the day at Disneyland to weather delays in the desert, Chalmers gave a full update on his time away and what he's been up to since his last time on the podcast.
Changing gears, the guys discussed the Oilers' disastrous start to the season and how the team doesn't seem to have any answers for the recurring issues that are hurting them night in and night out. Is he feeling the heat of the eight-year contract and overthinking what he's doing? Does he see the money he got as a finish line? They also discussed Edmonton's goaltending issues and whether there are any solutions available that are not completely ridiculous. Regardless of who you're blaming, the reality is that there are plenty of areas of concern.
Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast with the Thursday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics, including a look at anything other than the Edmonton Oilers. Needless to say, when the team is as bad as they've been lately, talking about literally any other topic just seems more enjoyable. As always, the Thursday episode was all over the map, which is precisely what you'd expect from the Real Life podcast.

Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you wrap up the week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed the Oilers' beatdown by Colorado, Jay and Baggedmilk's trip out east, and much more.
The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a look at the last handful of days in the world of sports. Starting with the 9-1 beatdown from last Saturday, Tyler wanted to talk about the ticket shenanigans Jay dumped on him, which had Tyler negotiating with other fans to move seats so the group could sit together. Jay and Baggedmilk also told a few stories from their trip to Toronto and Montreal, including flight delays, lounge life, and a trip to the Habs game at the Bell Centre.
Changing gears, the guys discussed the Oilers' goaltending situation. Given that the rumours about needing a new goalie won't go anywhere, the boys wanted to look at some of the names the team might be interested in. Spoiler: The tight cap situation makes any of the fun names seem improbable until the summer. Needless to say, if the Oilers do get a new goalie at some point in the 2025-26 season, it likely won't be one of the sexy names everyone is hoping for.
Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast with the Thursday episode of Real Life, featuring a random collection of topics, including a look at Jay's tendency to talk in his sleep, Tyler's new favourite TikTok account, old jersey picks to wear to the game, and whatever else want on the boys' minds. As always, the Thursday episode was all over the map, which is precisely what you'd expect from the Real Life podcast.

Tyler, Chalmers and Wanye sat down for a new edition of The Real Life Podcast as they looked back on the last seven days both in their lives and the world of sports. They began by talking about their Halloween weekend, which then led into some talk about the Toronto Blue Jays. It was a great run that sadly ended with a pair of painful losses.
There was some Oilers talk today on the podcast as they gave some takes on the team’s lacklustre play, and compared the vibes of a cinderella team like the Blue Jays to a perennial contender like the Oilers.
Are there legitimate reasons to be concerned about the long-term health of this Oilers team? Or is this just their usual early season malaise?
They then talked about the level of shadiness that goes on in professional sports. Wanye thinks that there’s a chance that things are shaped by the higher ups but both Tyler and Chalmers pushed back against that.
They then gave their beefs of the week which included a rant from Tyler about traffic and societal responsibilites. There is a left-hand turn problem in our city and he’s had enough. Chalmers has also had enough of people who are lining up at convenience stores with all of their lottery tickets.

Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you wrap up the week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed the Toronto Blue Jays being a win away from the World Series, the Nation Vacation to Vancouver, beefs of the week, Halloween candy, and much more.
The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a look at the Toronto Blue Jays' chances at closing out the World Series on Friday night at the Rogers Centre. Given that the Jays are only one game away from clinching their third World Series title, it's hard not to get completely wrapped up in this run. Even if you're not a hardcore Blue Jays fan who watches every game in the regular season, the hype is taking over the country in a very real way.
Changing gears, the guys dove a little bit into the Nation Vacation, and started with the rally popcorn Baggedmilk bought at the Oilers game in Vancouver. While the rally popcorn was trying to do its thing, Jay noted that Tyler had the job completed before Edmonton actually completed the comeback. From there, Tyler and BM spent the next few minutes thanking the amazing Nation Citizens who joined us on this trip out west.
Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast with Thursday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics, including a look at the NFL schedule having some horrible prime time matchups, Halloween candy tactics during the World Series, and how shrinkflation is ruining everyone's ability to eat appropriate amounts of candy. Talking about candy led to the guys workshopping some ideas for Chalmers' Halloween party that some folks on the show weren't invited to.

Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you wrap up the week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed the World Series, cruise ships, Oilers vs. Habs, and much more.
The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a look ahead at the World Series after Tyler walked into the studio wearing his new hoodie to commemorate the occasion. Not only did everyone want to hear about his experience for Game 7, but they also wanted to know what it was like to sit in a stadium that was going absolutely bananas. As you'll hear, Tyler had plenty of stories from being at Skydome that were very exciting and entirely understandable, which only fuelled everyone's excitement for Friday.
From there, the discussion somehow shifted to cruise ships. How did the podcast get to cruises? No one knows for sure, but the conversation gave Chalmers the chance to talk about how much he loves them. After winding through his honeymoon cruise story, the podcast eventually turned into a discussion about the NBA's betting scandal that broke on Thursday. While this is certainly a very serious situation, the boys still had a bunch of fun talking about the absurdity of the situation.
Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast with Thursday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics, including a look at the Oilers vs. Habs, Vladdy Guerrero Jr's translator, beefs of the week, intense crowd moments, and whatever else was the boys' minds at the time. As you'll hear, the last chunk of the podcast was all over the map, which is what you should almost expect now that the podcast is down to one episode per week.

Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you wrap up the week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed the Oilers' two-game win streak, trade rumours, most hated opponents, and much more.
The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with some Oilers talk after the boys picked up a pair of wins over the Canucks and Rangers. Somehow, talking about those two wins led to a discussion about potential trade targets for Edmonton, even though it's way too early to really even discuss the possibilities. Following the trade talks down the rabbithole, the guys debated about who they would rather have in a trade: Tage Thompson or Ilya Sorokin.
From there, the discussion shifted to the players or opponents we irrationally hate just because they played for an opposing team. Whether it was a former Flame like Robyn Regehr crushing Ales Hemsky to the Dallas Stars running the show during the playoffs in the late 90s, there were plenty of options to choose from, and the reasons for hating them were all over the map. If anything, this exercise was a trip down memory lane and a reminder of how long some of these memories can last.
Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast with an array of topics, including the Jays trying to even up the series in Seattle, the Oilers looking for a third consecutive win, Ike Howard's spot in the lineup, and whatever else popped into anyone's mind. Needless to say, the last chunk of the podcast was a classic dose of Real Life because no single topic seemed to last more than a minute or two. Structure? Kinda. Bouncing all over the place? Absolutely.

Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you wrap up the week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed Jay's trip to London, the Oilers' season opener loss, the Blue Jays beating the Yankees, beefs of the week, and much more.
The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a quick recap of Jay's trip to the UK for the Browns game, covering what he got up to despite being away for only 96 hours. 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 guys walked through a new segment called Beef of the Week where the boys vented their frustrations with some news stories from the past week. Whether it's pop culture, the Oilers not acknowledging the Western Conference Champions banner, to the Blue Jays beating the Yankees in their first-ever playoff matchup, the end of this week's podcast was all over the map.

Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you wrap up the week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed Kirill Kaprizov's contract, speaking to animals, and much more.
The guys started the Thursday episode of Real Life with a discussion about the Oilers' pre-season and how it's such a grind to get through these eight games when games that matter are right around the corner. 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 talking to birds to negotiating with wasps and mosquitoes, what seemed like a throwaway topic ended up going on way longer than anyone probably expected.
Finally, the guys walked through a new segment called Beef of the Week where they vented their frustrations for a couple of minutes to let it all out. From complaining about TV to Chalmers' love of tomahawk steaks, the first go at this new idea went better than initially expected. The real question, however, is whether or not the fellas can actually stick to coming up with something every week instead of letting the bit slide as they always seem to do.

Monday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you kick off your workweek. On today's podcast, the guys discussed Tyler's big betting weekend, the Elks' victory over the Roughriders, Connor McDavid's contract status, and explored other topics that arose.
The guys started the Monday episode of Real Life with a discussion about a variety of random topics, including the COVID-19 hockey bubble and weird memories from that period in time. Needless to say, talking about sports during COVID times almost feels alien, given how everything is long back to normal less than five years later. Talking sports led Tyler to talk about his Saturday at the Elks game, and how it was an electric finish for both the team and his wallet.
Changing gears, the guys walked through their squad ride bet for the Ryder Cup and how the weekend was not only entertaining but also profitable. The guys also discussed the player feedback after the tournament was done, and whether the crowd was getting too carried away with their chirps and barbs for the European players. Part of the discussion also centred on whether the noise was worse because the tournament took place in New York, an area known for its aggressive fans, even at the best of times.
Finally, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics, including the Connor McDavid contract situation, body language, and whether we're still reading way too much into the situation despite him still being unsigned. Sticking with contract discussions, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life by wondering what is going on around the league and whether the other unsigned deals are making the same kind of waves.

Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you wrap up the week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed reality TV, when Tyler's going to start having children, Baggedmilk's trip to Minneapolis, and much more.
The guys started the Monday episode of Real Life with a discussion about how it was the first time everyone had been on the podcast in quite some time. As you'll hear, the topics move all over the map when the squad is together, and the first 15 minutes of Thursday's podcast covered a lot of ground. From Big Brother being awful to when Tyler plans for having kids, there was a long run of topics that were all over the map.
Changing gears, Baggedmilk recapped his ultimate sports weekend in Minneapolis and walked through the experience of going to a high school football game, a Twins doubleheader, and the Vikings' beatdown over the Bengals on Sunday afternoon. For a fan of live sports, watching that many sports in a span of three days was as good as it gets. The best part of doing a sports weekend like that is how there was so much going on, and a lot of fun to be had.
Finally, the guys walked through some betting talk ahead of the Ryder Cup. Tyler, Jay, and Chalmers are all picking a horse to bet on for the weekend, and they could not be more excited about the tournament. From there, Chalmers gave his keys to coaching minor hockey and offered some advice on how to get your team into tournaments before they fill up.

The Edmonton Oilers are back on the ice and the Real Life crew is back in the studio for a fresh Monday edition of the podcast. They started things off by talking about the split squad games that took place on Sunday night. 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. Wayne gave a not so great review of the Charlie Scheen doc while Chalmers sold the group of the Dallas Cowboys doc. That also led to some talk about wild minor league sports promotions.
They also spent some time talking baseball with the playoffs right around te corner, who they’re cheering for in the Ryder Cup, flag football at the Olympics and all the new CFL changes that are coming.

The Real Life crew is back with a fresh episode of the pod to get you through your Thursday afternoon. Tyler, Chalmers and Wanye kicked things off by talking about the Connor McDavid contract situation. There is some legit concern within the group as the Oilers’ Captain remains unsigned and continues to be cryptic with his messaging in the media.
They kicked around a few conspiracy theories, talked about when they’ll think he’ll finally sign, and why he’s taking his sweet time. They also talked about the opening of training camp and some new faces that are taking the ice with the team.
They then talked about this week’s NFL schedule (later on they did an update on the Real Life fantasy leagues) and Thursday Night Football bets for Bet365. Chalmers also had a hell of a weekend on the golf course as he won a tournament that was first one by Oilers legend Mark Messier. He told the story of the win and why it means so much.
They wrapped with a little bit of baseball talk as the Blue Jays are on the verge of clinching and Erik Sabrowski’s Cleveland Guardians are making a push for the final Wild Card spot!

Monday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you kick off your workweek. On today's podcast, the guys discussed #ChairGate at Nation HQ, airplane seating, Liam's quarterback rankings, the Toronto Blue Jays, into any other topics that arose.
The guys started the Monday episode of Real Life with a discussion from Liam Horrobin about his hatred for the chairs in the office. 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 the boys were trying to poke holes in his system, you have to give Liam credit for sticking to his guns and defending his system. The real question will be how his system pays him back over the course of the season, provided he's sticking to it.
Finally, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics, including a quick recap of Tyler's trip to Toronto to watch the Blue Jays, the Oilers vs Flames rookie weekend, and a random trip through southern geography, as Jay described where he'd like to live in the states if he was forced to move down south. As always, the Monday episode was all over the map and featured very little Oilers talk, as expected.

Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you kick off your workweek. On today's podcast, the guys discussed the start of the NFL season, jersey purchases, Pink Pony Club origin, and delved into any other topics that arose.
The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life by discussing the best time of the year for sports, now that the NHL is underway, the Jays are chasing a division win, and the NFL season has begun. There are so many sports stories to be excited about, and the guys kicked off the podcast with a conversation about Shadeur Sanders' jersey being a top seller despite not even being the starting QB in Cleveland. Talking about jerseys led the boys to talk about which unis they would buy if they were in the market for a new one.
Changing gears, the guys looked at the Connor McDavid contract situation and wondered whether or not these delays are tied to Kirill Kaprisov's stalemate in Minnesota. Yesterday, it was reported that the Wild star turned down a $16 million AAV over eight years, which led to a conversation about whether these two contracts are linked. If Kaprisov is turning down that much smoke, does that mean that Connor McDavid is waiting to see where he lands before signing his own extension?
Finally, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics, including Coldplay being set to pass Taylor Swift's tour gross earnings, Connor Brown spilling the Pink Pony Club details, the Real Life Fantasy Football League, and the new Charlie Sheen documentary that just got loaded to Netflix. The squad may have been shorthanded this week, but that didn't stop them from yammering on about anything and everything for an hour.

Monday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you kick off your workweek. On today's podcast, the guys discussed Jay and Chalmers' golf trip, casino etiquette, NFL opening weekend, and delved into any other topics that arose.
The guys started the Monday episode of Real Life with a discussion about Jay and Chalmers' golf trip to Kamloops, and how both guys are not feeling their freshest after being away. Not only were they getting after it on the golf course, but they also seemed to carry the vibes into the casino with them. From a long weekend with the boys to an extended travel day on the way home, and even playing well on the course, it was clear that Jay and Chalmers had a great weekend and are paying for it today.
Changing gears, the guys discussed the start of the NFL season and how Tyler cashed in big on the Sunday nighter between the Bills and Ravens. Needless to say, having the NFL back this weekend was a big moment for the boys on the podcast, marking the official start of the best time for sports in the calendar year. If there was a downside to football being back, it had to be that everyone was watching the NFL and not reading the content on the TNN family of websites.
Finally, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics, including the Kawhi Leonard cap circumvention with the Clippers, whether or not this situation is unique in sports, and whether there's going to be more similar stories like this that will come out. Sticking with contract discussions, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life by wondering what is going on with the Connor McDavid situation and whether the Oilers will be able to get the job done.

Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you kick off your workweek. On today's podcast, the guys discussed Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' 15th season with the Oilers, the Toronto Blue Jays, the NFL season kicking off, and delved into any other topics that arose.
The guys started the Thursday episode of Real Life by welcoming Wanye back to the podcast after he filled in for Jason Gregor on Sports 1440 last week. Wanye always has fun filling in for Gregor, but getting back on the podcast is always refreshing because he's able to say whatever he wants without worrying about swearing live on air. From there, Tyler asked Baggedmilk to blind rank the Top 5 most surprising moments from Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' career with the Oilers.
Changing gears, the guys started talking a little baseball with a recap of the Houston Astros pitcher situation after Framber Valdez seemingly crossed up his catcher with a 93 mph sinker to the gut. While both players said it was an accident in the media, no one in the baseball world believes them. Sticking with the MLB, Tyler got Wanye caught up on what's been happening with the Blue Jays and how exciting it is to watch them mash their way through the final portion of the season.
Finally, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics, including Wanye questioning Baggedmilk's Vikings fandom, Drake appearing on Bobbi Althoff's new podcast despite the drama from the last time, and a look at the first week of the NFL season on deck. As always, the Thursday episode of Real Life was all over the map.

Monday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you kick off your workweek. On today's podcast, the guys discussed the Sherwood Power Sports and Marine fishing derby, the Oilersnation Open, and delved into any other topics that arose.
The guys started the Monday episode of Real Life with a discussion about the Oilersnation Open that kicks off Friday morning at Millwoods Golf Club, and how everyone is so excited to get going on the seventh annual tourney in support of Gregor's Grads. Not only are the boys to get out on the course, but they're also excited about having everyone get together for what is undoubtedly one of the best dates on our calendar.
Changing gears, the guys recapped the Real Life fishing derby that happened on Tuesday after a few of the boys took on the crew from Sherwood Power Sports and Marine. As you'll hear, the boys not only smoked the Sherwood Power Sports team in the head-to-head tournament, but it also gave Tyler a first-hand look at how great fishing can be. While he did say he probably won't fish again, he did admit that he would like to go again if someone forced the issue.
Finally, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics, including the run the Blue Jays are on right now. Not only are the Jays playing some fantastic baseball right now, but they're also so much fun to watch that people are getting completely wrapped up in the moment. Shifting gears, the guys looked at the Connor McDavid quotes from yesterday's Team Canada Olympic orientation camp that happened yesterday in Calgary.
