Nation Real Life
Chalmers hosts the show, getting old, and watering the garden
Your Thursday wouldn't be complete without a fresh episode of the Real Life podcast to wrap up your week, would it? Of course not. This week, the fellas covered Chalmers' approach to eating eggs, VLT strategies, and the MLB home run derby.
The guys started the podcast by discussing how Chalmers eats eggs and how they have to be made in very specific ways. But just as the guys started talking about breakfast, the conversation very quickly chanced to VLT strategies and how it literally makes no sense to think you're able to game the system. Needless to say, the intro to the show was all over the map.
Changing gears, the guys talked about the horrible rendition of the national anthem that came out ahead of the MLB home run derby. If you haven't seen it, that anthem performance was unbelievable. Obviously, everyone found out about the singer's issues in the days that followed, but at the moment, those few minutes were unbelievable to witness. That led the guys to wonder what the most memorable anthem performances the fellas could remember were.
Next, the guys talked about Bronny James' jersey sales numbers that came out this past week and how he's already paid for his guaranteed contract over the next four years. Even though plenty of folks don't think he deserves the kind of money the Lakers paid him, there's little doubt that basketball fans are intrigued by what Lebron's son will be able to do, and they're also willing to put their money down.
Finally, the guys spent some time talking about the Oilersnation Open. Not only is the tournament one of the best events The Nation Network puts on every year, but it's also an opportunity to have a blast with your favourite internet friends while also raising money for charity. From
there, the guys wrapped up with a random collection of topics, including first cars, water coolers, and when is the best time to water your plants.

608. The Leon Draisaitl extension is here and it's fantastic
59:55||Ep. 608It's Thursday afternoon, meaning a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast is back, edited, and ready to massage your earholes.The guys started the podcast with a tribute to Johnny Gaudreau. The hockey world lost one of its brightest stars last week, and the story is so heartbreaking in every possible way. Even though it's impossible to make sense of this loss, it's been wonderful to read the tributes to the Gaudreau brothers and learn a little more about how incredible they were as human beings.Changing gears, the guys walked through the Leon Draisaitl extension that came down on Tuesday. Not only did the Oilers find a way to lock in one of their biggest stars to a max-term deal, but the fact that he was so happy to stay in Edmonton is a detail that makes this extension so much more special. Needless to say, the Oilers organization has come a long way from the days of losing their stars because the team couldn't afford to pay them.Next up, the guys walked through some of the best stories from Friday's Oilersnation Open, including Tyler's cheating story and how it's a secret that everyone kept under wraps until today. As you'll hear, the tournament was ripe with shenanigans, and it's going to be fantastically funny when two of the podcast hosts find out what actually happened.Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast with a collection of topics that were all over the map. From the Chase money glitch to Wanye trying to buy a Nail Yakupov jersey to Cody Ceci's sad interview on the What Chaos podcast, the last 15 minutes of Thursday's show were pure chaos. Are you surprised? Of course not. 💻 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.

Previewing the Oilersnation Open, wing deals, and Tyler's can collection
01:02:56||Ep. 607It's Thursday afternoon, meaning a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast is back, edited, and ready to massage your earholes.The guys started the podcast with a conversation about Friday's Oilersnation Open and how the boys are all incredibly excited to get the tournament underway. If you've never been to the ONO before, it's easily one of the company's most cherished days of the year, and the guys cannot wait to see everyone and spend a great day out on the links at the Millwoods Golf Club.Changing gears, Tyler wanted to talk about his wings experience from last night and how he did not get a deal despite it being Wing Wednesday. Despite in-store advertisements saying the wings would be discounted, Tyler paid full price and has been rattled about it ever since. Turning the podcast back to the Oilers, the guys talked about the team putting the ice back at Rogers Place and how that means we're only weeks away from the boys being back in town. One thing the fellas noticed is that the Oilers are putting down their classic logo at centre ice while other teams decided to change things up a little bit.After literally three minutes of Oilers talk, the guys worked through a random collection of topics, ranging from Tyler's drinking problems to his new fence to squirrel problems to why we're still paying for bags in Edmonton. Needless to say, it is basically impossible for this podcast to stay on track without being instantly distracted like goldfish. 💻 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.

Off-brand products, Chalmers at Metallica, and the Oilersnation Open
01:00:29||Ep. 606It's Monday afternoon, meaning a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast is back, edited, and ready to massage your earholes.The guys started the podcast with a conversation about pop after Tyler walked into the studio with a Kicking Back Cola. That led the guys to talk about whether or not they subscribe to the idea that off-brand colas are comparable to the originals. Thankfully, Inspector Chalmers was on the case and found research to confirm some of the myths about Kirkland brand items being the same as major competitors.Talking about white labelling products led Chalmers to want to discuss Jeff Bezos's potential purchase of the Boston Celtics for upward of $6 billion. Considering the wealth Jeff Bezos can amass, the guys wondered what the team's future might look like and how he would plan to integrate their game-day experience into the Amazon orbit. Sticking with stadium talk, Chalmers talked about seeing Metallica on Friday night at Commonwealth and how that stadium is NOT equipped to handle the number of people it can hold.Changing gears, the conversation moved to the Oilersnation Open and how the bidding on the auction to golf with the boys really got out of hand. Not only did the auction total go well beyond what anyone expected, but thanks to some quick thinking from Tyler, both bid finalists will be golfing because everyone felt bad if someone missed out. Needless to say, Friday's tournament will be an incredible day and the boys are very excited to hit the links. 💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/https://twitter.com/ONradiopodcasthttps://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/onradiopodcast/https://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Mill Woods Golf Course: https://www.millwoodsgolfcourse.com/👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

Baggedmilk is back from vacation and that meant catching up on Oilers talk
01:02:23||Ep. 605There's no way your Thursday wouldn't be complete without a fresh episode of the Real Life podcast to wrap up your week, would it? Of course not. Thankfully, the gang was back with a fresh episode of Real Life that was all over the map and covered a wide range of topics.The guys started the podcast with a random collection of topics, including Chalmers' party habits, leaving drinks around Nation HQ, and always having to be the last one to bed regardless of the social scenario. Talking about Chalmers led Jay to discuss their guys' golf trip and how it takes a minute to get the body warmed up as you get older.Changing gears, the guys walked Baggedmilk through some of the topics he missed during his vacation and got his take on everything from the offer sheets to the trades made in the days leading up to the decision. As much as it was annoying to have the Oilers put in a tough spot like they were, the fellas thought the Oilers actually did a reasonable job of navigating the issue. Finally, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of Real Life with a collection of topics that ranged from Tyler's new fence to dog sitting and how grandparents are the key to unlocking advancements in one's life. Despite Tyler having some prep done for today's podcast, the least surprising news of the day was that the show got derailed by a random collection of topics to wrap up the episode. 💻 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.

How will the offer sheet drama end?
01:13:58||Ep. 604Happy Monday Nation Citizens. To kick off a fresh week, the Real Life crew (sans Baggedmilk) is back with another fresh episode of the podcast. To begin things today, the guys talked about their weekends, which featured a golf trip for a few of them. There was a little bit of controversy between Jay and Chalmers as one of the two is accusing the other of tanking his handicap to give himself an advantage on their trip. Tyler sparked up a conversation about the worst kinds of people to get paired up with on a golf course.They eventually would get into some hockey talk as Patrik Laine was traded during the show. They gave their guesses on what the full trade would look like and were all proven hilariously wrong by the end of the pod. Finally, they got into some talk about the Oilers busy weekend, which saw GM Stan Bowman make not one, but two trades. What do those two deals mean for the futures of Dylan Holloway and Philip Broberg? The guys discussed that and debated what the right thing for the Oilers to do is.To end things off, they talked a little bit about the last week in the Big Brother house and the first few weeks of the NFL preseason.💻 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.

Offer Sheet Drama & Sports Tell Alls
01:02:45||Ep. 603It was a skeleton crew today for the Real Life Podcast as a bunch of the guys were away on vacation. The two in attendance: Yaremchuk and Wanye. They were joined by social media star Matt Wozniak and the trio took on a handful of different stories. To start, they talked about the news that the Edmonton Elks have an owner. They've been community owned for the last 75 years and now with a solo owner in charge, could things be changing for the local football team? They talked about the ideas of a new stadium and more.They then got into some wild sports stories as Tyler asked the guys what are some sports tell-alls that they would like to see made into a movie. He shared a wild story about a former first overall pick that went to jail before making his debut in Major League Baseball. They also kicked around some Oilers ideas.To wrap up the pod, they talked about the offer sheet drama surrounding the Edmonton Oilers and kicked around some other Oilers related hypotheticals.💻 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.

A Wild Weekend in YEG & Kane Could Hit LTIR
59:04||Ep. 602The guys are back with a Monday episode of The Real Life Podcast as Tyler, Jay, Wanye and special guest Liam sat down for an hour to talk about their lives and of course, a little bit of Oilers hockey.To kick things off, the guys talked about the wild weekend that went down in YEG. The Edmonton Riverhawks won their first ever playoff game and while Wanye was excited for the team, he took issue with their 20-minute post-game firework show. The Edmonton Elks won a second consecutive football game, which is wildly impressive considering their recent track record. Liam was in attendance and told us what they're doing differently to up the general atmosphere of Elks games. And of course, it was Folk Fest weekend. Tyler and Liam really didn't understand the lore behind the festival, but Jay and Wanye got them up to speed and Jay talked about why it's his favourite event that happens in the city.To end the show, they talked about the news that Evander Kane could be going on LTIR to start the season. Tyler tried to explain the different ways that the Oilers could utilize his cap space and what else the Oilers need to do in order to be cap compliant. Jay was just happy that the team is finally abusing the system.💻 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.

Talking charity burgers, life, and the Hlinka Gretzky Cup with Steven Ellis
01:04:25||Ep. 601There's no way your Thursday wouldn't be complete without a fresh episode of the Real Life podcast to wrap up your week, would it? Of course not. Thankfully, the gang was back with a fresh episode of Real Life that was all over the map and covered a wide range of topics. The guys kicked off the podcast with a random question about how many Teen Burgers they could eat in support of Burgers for MS Day on August 22nd for our friends at A&W. As you'll hear, the boys believe they can put back a pile of burgers in the name of charity, even though the lofty estimates seem ridiculous at first blush.Changing gears, Wanye wanted to talk about a new YouTube channel he found with an Aussie guy who has built a homestead for himself using nothing but primitive tools. That led to discussions about influencers of all types getting famous for the most random content you could ever imagine. Whether that content is any good is a different matter entirely.From there, Wanye wanted to discuss the advances in Neuralink technology and how it won't be long before people can get rid of phones and live online within the confines of their own minds. If the tech advances enough, would having a chip in their brain be of any interest to the boys on the show if given the chance? Finally, the boys wrapped up the Thursday episode of Real Life with a recap of the Hlinka Gretzky Cup, which is why Steven Ellis is in town. Despite forcing Steven to sit through an hour of shenanigans, hearing his take on the state of hockey was a fun dive into the mind of The Nation Network's prospect analyst. 💻 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.

New Olympic events, local sports, and some Big Brother talk to wrap things up
01:04:40||Ep. 600There's no way your Thursday wouldn't be complete without a fresh episode of the Real Life podcast to wrap up your week, would it? Of course not. Thankfully, the gang was back with a fresh episode of Real Life. The guys kicked off the podcast with a random collection of sports, including the recent passing of Jellybean Bryant and Wanye's question about why he was unaware that Jellybean played in the NBA. After a quick Googling on the topic, it turns out that the answer is a lot sadder than anyone expected. Sticking with sports, Tyler wanted to know what events are missing from the summer Olympics and whether the boys could improve the games with some new events. As expected, every potential event the fellas recommended was completely ridiculous and 1000% not likely to happen. Changing gears, Tyler read a bunch of Gen-Z words that were added to the dictionary, and the boys had to guess what all of these words meant. As expected, fellas in their late 30s and early 40s were completely lost on basically everything, making everyone in the studio feel incredibly old once again. Looking around the local sports scene, the discussion turned to how the Riverhawks and Stingers have found a way to inspire Edmontonians while the Elks still struggle to get people through the door. Outside of the team obviously being awful, there has to be a way to get the city more engaged with a team that used to be hugely popular for decades. 💻 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.
