Getting set for Oilers Game 1 Goat and Little Bro from Utah

Ep. 575

There's no better way to wrap up your Monday than with a fresh episode of the Real Like Podcast, and this week, the boys churned out a classic episode. The guys welcomed Goat and Little Bro from Utah to help us get set for Game 1 against the Kings while also walking us through what a potential Nation Vacation to Salt Lake City might look like now that the NHL is going.

The Real Life Podcast kicked off this week's episode by welcoming the Utah boys to the podcast to talk about their first few days back in Edmonton and how Tyler told them we were recording on Sunday instead of the usual Monday. Seeing as Tyler wrapped up the regular season on a vacation, his dates were all out of whack, and the result has been details slipping through that he normally covers.

Getting back to the Utah boys, the guys made their way back to Edmonton for games 1 and 2 against the Kings, so the boys spent some time talking about how excited they were to be back in the city and for the playoffs to get going. If you've never heard from these two guys before, they are the greatest human beings on earth, and the Real Life crew were thrilled to welcome them to the studio.

Seeing as the Arizona Coyotes are moving to Utah for next season, the guys spent a few minutes imagining what a #NationVacation to Utah might look like. Gord knows we had a blast in Arizona this past February, but there's something incredibly interesting about having a new market to potentially explore if the schedule allows. 

Lastly, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a Game 1 and how the Oilers are a deeper team than we've seen in a while and that could bode well for the team's success if they can play their own game. Knowing that LA will be doing what they can to get the Oilers off their game, it will be crucial for the boys to stay focused and willing to keep things simple.

  • 589. The Oilers are alive with another chance to extend the series

    01:06:56
    The Oilers went to Florida and came up with a clutch 5-3 road win in Game 5, extending their series for at least one more game, which meant there was plenty to talk about on the Thursday episode of Real Life. Now the question becomes whether the boys can do it for a third time and force the Panthers into an elimination game of their own.The Thursday episode of Real Life kicked off with a hilarious discussion about Chalmers' unique eating habits. He confessed to pairing toast with every meal, showcasing his bizarre yet impressive skill of matching the correct number of pieces of bread with the meal. Chalmers has confessed to a lot of interesting habits on this podcast, but this bread talk was just the latest chapter.Shifting the focus of the podcast back to the Oilers, the guys recapped where they were at during Game 5 and how everyone feels now that the boys were successful in dragging the Panthers back to Alberta. Even though Tuesday's win wasn't necessarily the prettiest win we've ever seen in the history of our fandom, the Oilers managed to grind out a win that could have easily gone the other way. Yet, even with all of that pressure coming their way, the boys found a way to live another day. Finally, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of the podcast by discussing everyone's plans for Friday night. Given that ticket prices are astronomical for Game 6, only Jay and Tyler will be in attendance while the other guys are still figuring out where they're going to watch. Given the stakes at hand, the boys are trying to make the perfect decision as a means of manifesting a huge win. 💻 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.

  • 588. The Oilers aren't dead yet after huge Game 4 win

    01:01:21
    The Oilers kept their Stanley Cup dream alive with a big Game 4 win on Saturday night, which meant there was plenty to talk about on the Thursday episode of the Real Life podcast.The boys kicked off the Monday episode of Real Life by chatting about how much fun everyone had on Saturday night after the Oilers extended their Cup Final series by at least one more game. Without talking much about what happened on the ice, the boys had to talk about how amazing it was to be in Edmonton on Saturday night. Not only did the team win, but the city was buzzing well into the night after the team secured its first SCF win since 2006. Turning the conversation back to the Oilers playing their best game of the playoffs, the guys walked through a bunch of the goals scored on Saturday night and how it was, hopefully, the start of the dam starting to burst. Starting with the Mattias Janmark shorthanded goal, the guys couldn't contain their excitement about how the depth came through at such a pivotal moment. Of course, the conversation lasted two seconds before shifting gears to anything other than hockey. Finally, the podcast wrapped up the podcast with a four-leg squad bet on Game 5 and a story from Tyler about the conclusion of parking gate in his neighbourhood. Now that one of the neighbours has officially moved out, one can only hope that the drama has ended, but you can never be sure how the new personality will fit in. Nation Real LIfe💻 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.

  • 587. The weirdest Game 3 preview you'll ever hear

    55:01
    The Oilers are only hours away from kicking off Game 3 back at Rogers Place, which meant there was plenty to talk about on the Thursday episode of the Real Life podcast.The guys started the podcast with a quick recap of the boys' trip to Florida and how everyone was feeling now that the team is back home, down by two games. Obviously, being in this position was the last thing anybody wanted, but that doesn't mean we should give up hope, either. Down but not out. But as you'd expect, the podcast really fell off the rails in a hurry.With some shenanigans out of the way, the guys got back to business with a deep dive into the first two games of the series and what went wrong. Whether it's the lack of shots, the power play struggles, or getting stonewalled by Sergei Bobrovsky, there are plenty of ways the Oilers can be better if they're going to get back in this series. Finally, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of Real Life with a collection of random topics that ranged from changing jerseys after losses to what Chalmers would do if he ever saw Mark Messier out in public. Despite their best efforts to stay on track, the guys really struggled to keep this one on the rails. What else would you expect from the Real Life 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.

For the first time as an Oiler, Cody Ceci is going to be a healthy scratch. They debated if that was the right move, talked about just how frustrating it was to watch the Oilers get shutout by a red hot Sergei Bobrovsky and also talked about the general vibes of Panthers fans so far down in South Florida.From there, they talked a little bit more about the game and what the Oilers need to do better to win Game 2.They then shared some tales from their off day as the guys went on a boat with Frank Seravalli for the afternoon. Tyler had a very special experience in the water and told the story of that and was promptly roasted for it. They also saw a truly one of a kind flag in the water.They wrapped up by building a squad bet for bet365 and got hyped up for Game 2!💻 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.

  • 585. The Stanley Cup Final starts in two short days

    59:39
    The Oilers are only days away from kicking off the Stanley Cup Final, which meant there was plenty to talk about on the Thursday episode of the Real Life podcast. The guys kicked off the Thursday podcast with a discussion about the history of Oilersnation and how having the team in the finals is the biggest moment in our company's existence. After so many years of watching horrible hockey, the way this feels for all of us is so indescribably exciting that it's almost difficult to describe. Changing gears, the guys walked through some of their pre-game superstitions. Whether it's Chalmers wearing the same t-shirts underneath his Mark Messier jersey on game day or Jay wearing his Evan Bouchard bracelet, it's always so funny to see what people are doing to try and help this team move things along. Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast with some of their expectations for the weekend and how they plan on enjoying the moment as best they can even at a time when the anxiety and nerves will be high. The Stanley Cup Final is one of the hardest series in sports to make — let alone win — and that had the fellas feeling grateful just to be able to experience the ride. 💻 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.

  • 584. Did you know the Oilers are going to the Stanley Cup Final?

    56:02
    The Oilers punched their ticket to the Stanley Cup Final last night in Game 6, and that meant the boys were beyond fired up for the Monday episode of the Real Life Podcast. The guys started the podcast with a recap of last night's series win over the Stars, where everyone was to watch the game, and what it meant to them. Baggedmilk and Tyler were lucky enough to be at the game, and their perspective on what it was like to be at Rogers Place was very fun to listen to. Now that the boys are going to the SCF, the guys then talked about their approach to merch for the Stanley Cup Final. For Wanye, the approach was to buy literally every piece of Oilers merch the NHL site had to offer. As soon as the game ended, Wanye kept refreshing the site over and over until everything loaded, and he emptied the clip on every piece of merch he could find.Finally, the guys wrapped the podcast up by bringing Kennedy in for the last little bit to talk about some new NationGear merch that just dropped, how she's handling the playoff stress, and what she expects from her first time experiencing the Oilers in the finals. In terms of energy, this episode of the podcast was all vibes. 💻 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.

  • 583. Recapping a massive Game 4 win featuring a pop-in from Dooks

    01:03:28
    It's Thursday afternoon after a HUUUUUGE Game 4 win over the Dallas Stars, the boys on the Real Life podcastThe boys started the Thursday episode of Real Life with a recap of last night's Oilers game after the boys came up with one of the most exciting outings of the playoffs. After being down 2-0 after 5:29, Edmonton woke up in a huge way and absolutely laid the boots to the Dallas Stars for a dominant comeback win.Changing gears, the guys started talking about the amazing collection of super fans that surround this team and how they're almost becoming celebrities in their own right. From there, the fellas welcomed Dooks to the podcast as a special guest to discuss his playoff experience from down in Australia. As you'll hear, Dooks is always a beacon of positivity, and it was a lot of fun to hear how he's experiencing this playoff run from the other side of the world.Finally, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of the podcast with a conversation about jersey purchases after Baggedmilk rolled into the studio wearing an Orlando Magic Shaq jersey. Interestingly enough, the boys have some pretty random jerseys in their collection but don't ever seem to wear them for whatever reason. Finally, the pod wrapped up with a classic edition of Chalmers keeping it 100 after he noticed that more bathrooms need to play music instead of leaving people sit in silence. Nation Real LIfe💻 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.

  • 582. The gang checks in from Dallas

    20:26
    The Oilers are getting set to kick off the Western Conference Final tonight against the Dallas Stars, and that meant the opportunity for an on-the-road edition of the Real Life Podcast.The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a quick recap of their travel down to Texas after the boys took the red eye to Dallas for games one and two. Despite a long night of travel and very limited sleep, the boys' spirits were high, and everyone was excited about what was to come in the first game at American Airlines Arena. After a few minutes of arguing about whether or not Ryan McLeod should be in the lineup in favour of someone else after some costly errors at the end of the second round versus Vancouver, the guys put together a squad bet for Game 1 in the hopes of paying for some of their trip. As you'll hear, the boys are feeling good about the start of this series, and they are putting their money on manifesting a win. Nation Real LIfe💻 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.
