Nation Real Life

  • 663. A Rucking Good Time

    57:26||Ep. 663
    Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and ready to help you through the rest of your work week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed Wednesday's Oilers game, the What Chaos boys, and much more. The guys started the Thursday episode of Real Life with a discussion about Chalmers ignoring the boys regarding the March 18th Oilers game despite being invited by both Baggedmilk and Tyler. For some reason, Chalmers claims he did not notice the missed phone calls or messages but wanted to thank the boys for the gesture anyway.Changing gears, the podcast got derailed by the What Chaos boys after DJ Bean lost his wallet in the podcast studio. After a few minutes of chaos — pardon the pun — DJ found his wallet, and the boys left the studio. What no one expected, however, is that Chalmers used the opportunity to air out a six-year-old beef he has with Pete Blackburn allegedly stealing one of his tweets. As you'll hear, Chalmers may have an argument about his stolen tweet, but the real question is how Pete will respond.Sticking with the topic of fighting, the guys walked through some old fighting stories from when they were younger and how it's incredible that no one had camera phones in those days. Needless to say, if there is a benefit to being older, it has to be that most of our childhood was not captured on social media. Thankfully, those insane memories are gone forever. Turning the podcast back to the Oilers, the guys walked through Wednesday's game against the Dallas Stars and how it was an exciting night at Rogers Place even though the team couldn't complete the comeback. Despite a horrible run of luck, injuries, and strong goaltending by Jake Oettinger, the game was all over the map, from excitement to heartbreaking. Then again, if you've been an Oilers fan for any length of time, these down periods feel almost like home.💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/ https://twitter.com/NationRealLifehttps://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/nationreallife/https://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

  • 662. Dinner with Nuge, Caffeine Addictions, and Bachelor Party Drama

    01:06:39||Ep. 662
    Monday afternoon means a new episode of the Real Life podcast is recorded, edited, and ready to kick off your week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed coffee vs. energy drinks, the Moose Jaw Warriors, Succession's TV takeover, and much more.Tyler wanted to start the Monday episode of Real Life with a conversation about Jay reusing his coffee cup for water. Somehow, Jay's reusing his coffee cup led to a lengthy discussion about coffee vs. energy drinks and how Nation HQ has a pretty equal split of employees who consume one or the other.Wanye shifted the conversation to the Moose Jaw Warriors after the team's season is already winding down after winning the league championship last season. If anything, seeing Moose Jaw struggle the season after spending all of their draft capital for the change to build a one-year winner should be a reminder of what can happen when you go all-in so aggressively.Turning the podcast to the Oilers, Tyler recapped the charity event he was at last night that featured Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. As you'll hear, it was fun for Tyler to experience a night with the Nuge and also included an interesting observation that you'll love to hear about city's favourite son. As it turns, out Nugent-Hopkins is as nice as you'd ever hope he is and Tyler was all to happy to confirm it.Finally, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics, including Tyler's big betting wins, the Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl injury timelines, Trent Frederic's giant hands. As always, the Monday episode of Real Life was all over the map, precisely what you'd expect from this podcast.💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/ https://twitter.com/NationRealLifehttps://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/nationreallife/https://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

  • 661. Oilers are hot, Mark Carney at practice, and sports conspiracies

    59:32||Ep. 661
    Thursday afternoon means a new episode of the Real Life podcast is ready to wrap up your week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed Mark Carney at Oilers practice, Chalmers not calling the boys back, and much more.The guys kicked off the episode with a discussion about why Chalmers did not return Tyler or Baggedmilk's call when they offered him a free ticket to the Oilers game. Even though the podcast started with Chalmers ghosting the boys, they didn't get more than two seconds into the story before changing topics.The guys then discussed Prime Minister Mark Carney joining the Oilers for practice this morning and how the sight is as interesting as it was controversial for some of the fanbase. Regardless of where you sit politically, what's objectively true is how unique it is for a sitting Prime Minister to be an Oilers fan. Politicians typically jump on the bandwagon in the playoffs, but Carney genuinely seems to love this team. Will a visit from the PM help the boys against the Winnipeg Jets?Changing gears, Tyler wanted to talk about some sports conspiracies after he fell down a rabbit hole of unexplained stories in the world of sports. From Alex Mogilny not being in the Hall of Fame to the Luka Doncic trade to the Lakers to some thinking that the Sedin twins changed place at one point in their career, the stories and theories are limitless. Regardless of what you think of these theories, it certainly is fun to talk about the possibility of high-level shenanigans.Finally, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of Real Life with a collection of random topics, including Kanye's recent run of horrible tweets, TikTok conspiracies, Blockbuster late fees, and much more. As always, the last half of Real Life was all over the place.💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/ https://twitter.com/NationRealLifehttps://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/nationreallife/https://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

  • 660. Oilers turnaround, building out Ice District, and the NHL playoffs

    55:41||Ep. 660
    Monday afternoon means a new episode of the Real Life podcast is recorded, edited, and ready to kick off your week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed Jay and Baggedmilk's trip to Toronto, the Oilers winning their last two games in New York, the new Ice District development, and much more.The guys started the Monday episode of Real Life by recapping Jay and Baggedmilk's trips to Toronto. They explained that the trips were mostly filled with meetings and complaints about traffic. While it's always nice to see fellow staffers in Toronto, it's also nice to get back to Edmonton and out of the hustle and bustle.Turning the podcast back to the Oilers, Jay expressed his concerns about the Colorado Avalanche being an absolute wagon. Given that the Avalanche's Rantanen trade has seemingly worked out well, does that mean all roads in the Western Conference run through Colorado? On the Oilers front, the guys wondered if the boys were back after their win over the Rangers, which was one of their best games since the 4 Nations break.Changing gears, the guys discussed the new downtown development plan that the city recently greenlit and how the plan to bring more items to the Ice District will transform downtown Edmonton. From the event park to the future housing projects, there's little doubt that Daryl Katz's plan to revitalize the arena district is continuing to come to fruition. While we don't know the dates when the projects will be ready, the squad is still excited about what the city will look like in the near future.Finally, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics, including the favour Tyler is doing for Jay, the PGA Players Championship, another rant from Chalmers about youth sports, and anything that popped into everyone's mind. As always, the Monday episode of Real Life was all over the map, precisely what you'd expect from this podcast.💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/ https://twitter.com/NationRealLifehttps://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/nationreallife/https://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

  • 659. Golf talk, the Oilers vibes & why Tyler’s sad about Vladdy

    59:18||Ep. 659
    It was a small crew today on the podcast as Tyler, Wanye, and Chalmers sat down for a Thursday edition of the show. To kick things off, they talked about the ‘YouTube revolution’ that’s currently happening in the sport of golf and compared it to the way that hockey media has changed over the last number of years. They also talked about The Players Championship that’s happening this weekend. After that, they continued their trip around the sports world as Chalmers wanted an explanation on the Vladimir Guerrero Jr. contract situation. Tyler talked about how things have gotten as ugly as they have, why this all happening now with just a few weeks until the regular season, and why this season is already looking like a lose-lose for the Blue Jays.They wrapped up the pod with a little bit of talk about the Oilers as they get set for tonight’s game against the Devils. The vibes are off right now with the Oilers and the guys talked about whether or not this team is going to figure things out down the stretch. Tyler says that they have the ability to flip the switch down the stretch whereas Chalmers and Wanye weren’t as optimistic.They wrapped up by talking about the players they most want to see take a big step forward in the next month and they gave their predictions for tonight.💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/ https://twitter.com/NationRealLifehttps://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/nationreallife/https://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

  • 658. Tyler has fans everywhere, daylight savings time, and the new Oilers

    57:00||Ep. 658
    Monday afternoon means a new episode of the Real Life podcast is recorded, edited, and ready to kick off your week. On today's podcast, the guys discuss a fan interaction Tyler had this weekend, their first impressions of the Oilers' deadline pickups, and much more.Tyler kicked off the Monday episode of Real Life with a story from the weekend. Tyler was out and about after the trade deadline on Friday and had someone come up to him to say that he's an idiot right to his face. As you'll hear, Tyler often deals with keyboard warriors and is used to chirps on X/Twitter, but to have someone say something to his face was a new experience for our boy.From there, the guys offered their first impressions about the Oilers' deadline pickups. Starting with Jake Walman's game against the Stars, how could you not love the game he had on Saturday night against the Dallas Stars? From the long-bomb pass to Zach Hyman to his monstrous hit on Mikko Rantanen, it was hard not to be enamoured by Walman's first game in blue and orange. Even though it's only been a game, the guys are excited to see how Walman develops with the team once he gets comfortable.Sticking with the trade deadline, Jay and Tyler argued for the next ten minutes about whether the Oilers did enough. As you'll hear, the boys clearly don't agree that Edmonton could have done more, and it was entertaining for the other boys on the show to sit and listen to the chaos. While no one wants mom and dad to fight, the disagreement did lead to an interesting few minutes of podcast tension. Finally, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics, including the Mikko Rantanen trade noise, NFL free agency, betting talk, and anything that popped into everyone's mind. As always, the Monday episode of Real Life was all over the map, which is exactly what you'd expect from this podcast. 💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/ https://twitter.com/NationRealLifehttps://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/nationreallife/https://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

  • 657. Oilers at the trade deadline, Jay's trip to Paris, and the Internet doesn't care

    55:16||Ep. 657
    It's Thursday afternoon, which means a new episode of Real Life is recorded and ready to discuss the world around us. On today's podcast, the guys discuss their trade deadline expectations, Jay's vacation to Paris, the drama surrounding the weight loss challenge, and much more.The guys started the Thursday episode of the podcast with a conversation about the NHL trade deadline and how no one really knows what to expect from the league's annual swap n' shop. With plenty of trades already happening in the days and weeks leading up to the deadline, it will be interesting to see how much movement actually happens on the last trading day. Will the Oilers be active, or will it disappoint the fanbase?Changing gears, the guys discussed Jay's vacation to Paris and how he did not waste an opportunity to enjoy all the delicious food he encountered. Chalmers called him out for his unsanctioned weigh-in before he left and said his win shouldn't count as a result. Everyone weighed in for an official marker, and Jay gained six pounds while away. So what does that mean for the weight loss challenge? No one can be sure.Sticking with the food talk, Chalmers went on a classic rant about restaurant menus in other languages because he constantly has to Google what everything is. As you'll hear, he was incredibly spicy about his trip to an Italian restaurant, and it was hilarious to hear him melt down about menus at fancy establishments. No one else in the room seems to have the same issue, but that didn't stop Chalmers from voicing his opinion on the issue.Finally, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of Real Life with an array of topics, including social media viral moments, NFL free agency, and what everyone expects the Oilers to do at the trade deadline. As always, the hour flew by as the guys ripped through their topics and wrapped up just as quickly because Tyler had to bail for a trade deadline show rehearsal.
  • 656. Be careful with the ice out there, Evander Kane rumours, and Oilers at the trade deadline

    54:34||Ep. 656
    Monday afternoon means a fresh episode of the Real Life podcast is recorded, edited, and ready to kick off your week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed slippery sidewalks in Edmonton, what the Oilers might do at the trade deadline, the weigh-in shenanigans, and much more.Chalmers kicked off the Monday episode of Real Life with a story about falling on the ice after the melt in Edmonton has resulted in some of the slipperiest sidewalks you can imagine. As it turns out, Chalmers isn't the only one to wipe out lately, as Baggedmilk revealed that he also took a spill this past week while walking his dog. Needless to say, reminding people to be careful out there when you're walking around.Turning the podcast to the Oilers, Tyler quizzed Chalmers on how much he's been paying attention to the news ahead of the NHL trade deadline. As you likely suspected, Chalmers hasn't really been paying attention all that much, but did hear about the recent Evander Kane news about wanting to come back to prove he's still got it. Given the Oilers' cap limitations, this latest Kane news isn't likely to be overly popular around these parts.Changing gears, Chalmers brought Tyler up to date with the Real Life weight loss challenge shenanigans, and how the boys still don't feel as though they should pay him considering his winning weight was not at a sanctioned weigh-in. With Jay on his way back from France as the podcast was recording, it will be fascinating to hear his side of the story and whether he think his win is legitimate.Finally, the fellas wrapped up the Monday podcast with an array of topics, including wallet innovation, getting ID'd at restaurants, men's league showers, and whether anyone cares about St. Patricks Day. As always, the boys were all over the map to close out the show, which was as predictable as it was unpredictable.💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/ https://twitter.com/NationRealLifehttps://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/nationreallife/https://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

  • 655. The weight loss challenge debate, Wayne Gretzky, and Chalmers' movie review

    01:01:32||Ep. 655
    It's Thursday afternoon, which means a brand new episode of the Real Life podcast is here to help us make sense of the world around us.The guys started off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a conversation about why Tyler still leaves his location on despite none of the other guys sharing theirs. Somehow, talking about Tyler being sick at home led to Chalmers going on an epic rant about Jay's win in the weight-loss challenge. As you'll hear, the way by which Jay revealed that he had lost 20 pounds over a full day before the sanctioned weigh-ins.Changing gears, Wanye told a story from one of his dreams, in which Tyler had a mini-version of himself after seeing him appear on CBC in an interview. That led to a discussion about the heat Wayne Gretzky is taking in Canada for his association with the US president. Regardless of your opinion on what's happening with this situation, there's little doubt that we are living in one of the wildest timelines imaginable.The conversation then moved into a run of conspiracy theories that revolved around fake news and A.I. that seem to grab hold on social media these days, and how damaging those situations can be. While it's fun to use A.I. to make funny images, videos, and whatever else is going on, there's also a very dark segment of users that are using these tools for harm and shenanigans. So what's the answer to the problem? Only time will tell.Finally, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of Real Life with a second rant from Chalmers after his kids are at home because of P.D. days at their school, which seem to be a running concern in their household. The guys then finished off with some golf talk after the new season of Full Swing was loaded up to Netflix this past week, and how well the producers of that show have done to highlight the sport.💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/ https://twitter.com/NationRealLifehttps://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/nationreallife/https://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365.
