Nation Real Life

It wouldn't be a Thursday afternoon without a fresh episode of Real Life to massage your earholes and help you get through the rest of the work week.The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with some playoff baseball talk, including which teams are acceptable to cheer for with the Jays failing to make the postseason. Considering some of the storylines happening in the baseball postseason, Tyler offered his takes on who we should be rooting for and who we should be cheering against.Changing gears, the guys kicked off some hockey talk with a discussion about the Jeremy Swayman situation in Boston and how that contract negotiation is turning toxic in a real hurry. Seeing as Swayman and Stuart Skinner are the same age and in nearly the same situation, Oilers fans should be watching this situation very carefully since this could become a direct comparable at contract time.Midway through the goalie contract conversation, Jay walked into the podcast studio with a jar of pickles and completely derailed the conversation. After a quick pickle food review, the guys pivoted into a conversation about what flavour and type of chips reign supreme. As far as pointless chats go, the chip debate was as pointless as it gets.The podcast then got real when Chalmers told a story about his wife's secret sibling that no one knew about. As you'll hear, the story of having a lost sibling connect after all these years of not knowing each other is almost unbelievable but truly exciting. The funny part about the revelation was that Chalmers wasn't sure if the boys would want to hear the story even though it's probably the realest Real Life story ever.Finally, the fellas wrapped up the Thursday episode with another round of Keep It or Cut It. Tyler pitched a few different scenarios for the boys to keep or cut, including some MLB playoff talk, the Amazon Prime NHL docuseries, and whether or not Noah Philp has done enough in the pre-season to earn a spot with the Edmonton Oilers.💻 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.

It wouldn't be a Thursday afternoon without a fresh episode of Real Life to massage your earholes and help you get through the rest of the work week. On today's episode, the guys talked about the Nation's fantasy football league, the Oilers' pre-season, and the Oilers appearing on Amazon Prime's upcoming docu-series. The boys kicked off today's podcast with a conversation about the Oilers' pre-season and how it's been a slog to get through these eight tune-up games. Not only is the pre-season the worst time on the NHL calendar, but having to grind through these meaningless nights always feels like they take forever. Sticking with hockey, the boys spent a few minutes talking about the Amazon docu-series that's coming out soon, and how the Oilers clips have the boys all fired up to see the curtain get peeled back a little bit. However, knowing how the Stanley Cup Final went, Baggedmilk thinks it may take a minute before the heartbreak subsides and he's able to watch it. Changing gears, Tyler walked Chalmers through some shenanigans that are happening in the Nation HQ fantasy football league after Woz made a trade that was as shocking as it was bad. Trying to play devil's advocate, Chalmers did his best to defend Woz's move, but even he couldn't keep the charade going for very long as he started getting more details. Finally, the fellas wrapped up the Thursday episode with a random collection of topics, including Chalmers' hatred of self checkouts at Home Depot, some betting talk on the weekend's football games, and why this season of Big Brother is starting to get very boring. As always, the final 15 minutes of the Thursday episode of Real Life was all over the map, and probably the most fun the boys had this past week. 💻 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.

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. They also talked some NFL and at the very end, addressed the viral McDavid video from The Stanley Cup Final.💻 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 

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.
