Is there anything better than Game 7?

Ep. 581

It may be a holiday Monday, but that didn't stop the boys from heading into the studio for a Game 7 edition of the Real Life Podcast to get prepped for Edmonton's biggest game of the season.

The guys started the Monday episode of Real Life with an array of topics related to the Oilers but didn't really relate to the task at hand. From Crawford's acting as the ultimate insider to the way we felt before and after Game 6, the boys tap-danced around tonight's game a little bit before finally getting to the task at hand for 30 seconds at most.

The Oilers talk was quickly interrupted, however, by a quick chat about Scottie Scheffler getting arrested before the PGA Championship and how the story was so bizarre, given what everyone knows about him. The guys then talked about Jay catching a donair at Game 6 and how he was so excited to get one despite it not being the greatest thing he's ever eaten. 

Looking ahead to Game 7, the guys walked through their keys to victory and what the Oilers need to do to advance to the next round. From the steady goaltending to the power play to Edmonton's stars showing up, there is a path for the Oilers to win the game, but it certainly won't be easy. There's no doubt that the Canucks are going to bring their best, and it will be up to the Oilers to match that urgency. 

Finally, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with another look at the MLB's gambling issues after another translator has been tagged with a gambling controversy. That led the guys to spend a few minutes talking about the Toronto Blue Jays, and how that team is incredibly frustrating to watch given their inability to score many runs.

    31:41||Ep. 613
    The boys are back with a fresh Monday edition of The Real Life Podcast as they sat down for a quick 30 minutes editon of the pod. On the heels of the Oilers first pre-season game, the group started the show off by talking about the first hockey game of the season and what stood out to them. For Jay, he got to bring his daughter to the game and shared a story of their quest to find Hunter The Lynx. They also talked about a few players that stood out to them in both good and bad ways.The bigger story though was the concession prices. Beers are going up, but it's not as bad at the crew thought it would be. They shared some fun strategies about how to maximize your enjoyment of a game in downtown Edmonton. They wrapped it up by talking about the Elks loss this weekend, which Tyler took in down at Commonwealth Stadium. The guys Grey Cup bit took a big hit, but they're not giving up.

  • 612. Oilers training camp, collectables, and so many other random topics

    55:34||Ep. 612
    It'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 Thursday episode of the show with a conversation about collectables that somehow came about after Tyler told the boys that he was making a trip to Ikea. Somehow, hearing that Tyler is shopping for a shelf inspired the boys to engage in a 25-minute conversation about everything from garage sales to shoe sales to Chalmers' dream of being on American Pickers. Changing gears, Tyler wanted to talk about Oilers training camp and how his new bit on Twitter didn't land with some people who didn't understand the joke. Seeing as we like to argue about line combinations as a fanbase, Tyler had the idea of tweeting out ridiculous takes that were clear jokes, only to open his notifications and see a bunch of folks calling him an idiot.Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast with a collection of topics that were all over the map. From Robin Lehner missing his medicals with the Golden Knights to what's happening with tonight's Thursday Night Football to whether you'd spend a year in jail for $5.5 million, 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.

  • 611. NFL Sunday, concession prices, and Oilers at the Young Stars Tournament

    01:09:11||Ep. 611
    It's Monday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast is back, edited, and ready to help you start your week. This week, the guys looked back at NFL Sunday, ahead at the Grey Cup, and wondered how The boys kicked off the Monday episode of Real Life with a conversation about this past weekend in the NFL after Baggedmilk rolled into the studio wearing a new Vikings jersey and hat. Despite the chirps about the outfit, BM was looking fresh, and no one could handle the sizzle. Talking about the Vikings led the guys to talk about some of the best sports line nicknames that they can remember from over the years.Changing gears, the guys talked about the Young Stars Tournament that happened in Penticton this past weekend and how the Oilers' rookies have struggled immensely against the Canucks and Flames. If you haven't been paying attention, Edmonton has fared poorly against its peers at the tournament, and some people are concerned about the future of the depth chart. Sticking with the Oilers, the guys spent some time on what they think the concession prices will be when the new NHL season starts. If beers were $16.50 during the playoffs, is it reasonable to expect the price to go up to $18 or more? As a result, Baggedmilk asked folks to send us a note about what everyone thinks is the most egregious price increase on concession items. Finally, the boys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics that were all over the map. From betting on the Elks to win the Grey Cup to Commonwealth Stadium upgrades to whether or not the podcast should pivot to being a CFL show, the final segment from the Monday epi💻 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.

  • 610. Tyler reveals the golf tourney lie, and Chalmers yells about sports injury updates

    01:03:33||Ep. 610
    It'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 quick recap of the Monday episode of Real Life now that the gang was all back together. Seeing as Baggedmilk, Tyler, and Jay missed the last podcast, Wanye and Chalmers walked through what the boys missed since the boys were able to bring in their childhood friend as a pinch hitter.From there, Tyler was finally able to reveal to Jay and Chalmers that his team cheated at the Oilersnation Open and that the two playoff holes were completely unnecessary. Now that the boys know about Tyler's house of lies, the question becomes whether or not he should have to do both punishments. Being the good sport he is, Yaremchuk humbly accepts whatever is to come.Changing gears, Chalmers talked about how this is the best time of year for sports now that the NFL is back and baseball is heading into its playoff stretch, and how it doesn't get better than having everything happen all at once. Sticking with football, Chalmers went on a rant about how the NFL should be more transparent with player injuries, given how much betting money is put down around games these days.Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast with a collection of topics that were all over the map. From Baggedmilk revealing his NFL allegiance to what's happening with Deshaun Watson's standing with the Cleveland Browns to why you need to join the fellas on the Nation Vacation to Denver, 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.

  • 609. The Wanye & Chalmers Episode

    01:01:56||Ep. 609
    For this episode Wanye and Chalmers brought on childhood friend Mike Fugleberg and reminisced about growing up together and all the wild parties that Mike would throw at his house. Chalmers had his chance to talk about the Oilersnation Open, giving his perspective on the tournament. He also gave a shoutout to Erik Sabrowski and how he was making his MLB debut at the same time as the Nation Real Life Fantasy Football Draft. To cap it off they discussed about the NFL returning and Tyreek Hill's arrest. 
  • 608. The Leon Draisaitl extension is here and it's fantastic

    59:55||Ep. 608
    It'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.

  • 607. Previewing the Oilersnation Open, wing deals, and Tyler's can collection

    01:02:56||Ep. 607
    It'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.

  • 606. Off-brand products, Chalmers at Metallica, and the Oilersnation Open

    01:00:29||Ep. 606
    It'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.

  • 605. Baggedmilk is back from vacation and that meant catching up on Oilers talk

    01:02:23||Ep. 605
    There'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.
