Nation Real Life
Be careful with the ice out there, Evander Kane rumours, and Oilers at the trade deadline
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.

721. The Dave Chappelle show disaster, Jay's trip to New York, and job interviews
01:35:30||Ep. 721Thursday 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 Dave Chappelle show at Rogers Place, Jay's new dad hat, his trip to New York, and more.The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a range of topics, from job duties to Tyler's studio upgrades and whether anyone who starts at this company has to have a job interview. As the boys were working through a handful of intro topics, Baggedmilk and Jay walked in 10 minutes late and completely derailed the start of the podcast. Changing gears, the conversation turned to Baggedmilk's experience at the Dave Chappelle show last night at Rogers Place, which he called one of the worst live-event experiences he's ever had. Whether it was the people yelling out nonsense during his stories, what was supposed to be a fantastic night with a legend turned into a total disaster. As much as everyone who went to Rogers Place was jacked up to see Chappelle, it's a shame that the actions of a handful of people ruined the night for everyone else. 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.720. Thanksgiving football, Oilers autograph session at WEM, and max wait times
01:21:29||Ep. 720Thursday 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 Thanksgiving football, Chalmers' door-locking routine, the Oilers' autograph session at WEM, and more.The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a Thanksgiving discussion about turkey and how many cuisines from around the world don't use turkey. Somehow, talking about turkey led the guys to discuss whether they'd be comfortable hunting. Given how popular hunting is among a segment of the population, it was interesting to hear the boys' thoughts on whether they could do it. Spoiler: The room was split. Changing gears, the conversation somehow turned to Chalmers' fear of judgment when he locks the door behind a departing guest too soon. He doesn't want the person to hear him lock the door behind them. While he was the only one on the podcast to have this fear, it was fascinating to hear his thoughts on the proper timeline for locking up. Shifting the conversation again, the boys discussed the Oilers' autograph session at WEM and how long they would be willing to wait in line for an autograph. 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.
Oilers, Aliens, and Conspiracy Theories

01:16:10||Ep. 719Thursday 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.

718. Baggedmilk and Wanye talk AI, Cyber Trucks, and breaking things on the Internet
01:22:30||Ep. 718Baggedmilk and Wanye are back with another episode of Realer Life to recap life, business, and their love of technology and the Oilers.717. Tyler's Oilers ticket confusion, goalie rumours, and flight delays
01:12:15||Ep. 717Thursday 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.716. The Blue Jays Heartbreak, the Oilers malaise & societal responsibilities

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.

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.
