Nation Real Life

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 skeleton crew boys were around to give you a dose of randomness.The first thing you'll notice about the Thursday episode of Real Life is that most of the hosts didn't show up for the recording, which left Baggedmilk and Wanye to their own devices. As a result, the start of the podcast was a mix of random topics and discussions that would never have happened had Tyler been around to keep the show on the rails. Turning the conversation to the Oilers, the guys spent a little bit of time talking about Stan Bowman being hired as the team's new general manager and how the reaction to the news was as united as it was. Needless to say, the decision to bring in Bowman, given the baggage he brings with him, was certainly a bold decision by the organization. From there, Wanye wanted to talk about the royal wedding this weekend and how he cannot contain his excitement for Connor McDavid and Lauren Kyle to finally get hitched. From the outfits to the guest list to wondering if McDavid will have any fun, it's clear that Wanye has spent a lot of time thinking about this wedding. Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast with another collection of topics that made little to no sense, but that's what happens without any adult supervision. Needless to say, if you've been a fan of Real Life for a long time, Thursday's podcast felt very much like a throwback episode to when the boys used to record at the old 1260 studios on the west end. 💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/ TwitterYouTubeFacebookInstagramTikTokSHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

It wouldn't be Monday without a fresh episode of the Real Life podcast to wrap up the day and walk through everything that's happened over the weekend, would it? No. That's the answer.The guys got this week's podcast started with a discussion about video games. Chalmers' sons love playing vids, which led the boys to talk about teen slang and how nothing makes you feel older than not understanding what kids are saying. Chalmers then described how his kids aren't allowed to use social media, and it was interesting to hear the "why" they're not allowed. The logic made sense even though it's not a popular decision at the moment. Changing gears, Chalmers told a story about his bike getting stolen and how there's nothing anyone can do to get it back even though he has footage of the thief walking out of his garage. What's amazing about the heist was that his garage was only left unattended for 20 minutes, which was apparently plenty of time for Edmonton Danny Ocean to grab the bicycle and get away unchecked. Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast with some betting talk that looked ahead at the summer Olympics and the NFL season. Talking about football led Baggedmilk to seek some help from the audience to pick a team to cheer for that fits within his criteria of having cool uniforms, a fun stadium, the potential to be good, etc. Needless to say, this is a big decision to make with the NFL season coming up around the corner, and now the pressure is on to make a solid pick. 💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/ TwitterYouTubeFacebookInstagramTikTokSHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

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. 💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/ TwitterYouTubeFacebookInstagramTikTokSHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

Your Monday wouldn't be complete without a fresh episode of the Real Life podcast, would it? Of course not. This week, the fellas covered a busy weekend of sports, the Xavier Bourgault trade, and a whole lot of other random topics.The guys kicked off the Monday episode of Real Life with a quick chat about the Xavier Bourgault trade that happened this morning. Even though it was a minor trade in the grand scheme of things, it's still fascinating to see how Oilers fans are thrilled by the move. The question became whether the trade was that good or is it that Jeff Jackson just can't miss right now?Changing gears, the guys looked at what had been a very busy weekend in sports. From the COPA America Final to the Euro Final to Wanye taking his little man to Monster Jam for the first time, it was a busy handful of days in sports. When it came to Monster Jam, even though his little man was incredibly excited about the monster trucks, the experience was not the same for an adult. From there, the boys looked ahead at the MLB All-Star break and how no one cares about baseball's big weekend. Even though Tyler is a big baseball guy, he doesn't care at all about the all-star festivities. Finally, the podcast really devolved over the last 15 minutes as the guys ran through an array of topics that may or may not have always made sense. Then again, if you're listening to Real Life, that's kind of what's expected at this point, right?💻 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.

You're one day closer to the weekend, and the boys from the Real Life podcast want to help you get there with a fresh episode of the show to close out the week.The gang started the Thursday episode of Real Life by discussing Connor McDavid and Lauren Kyle's wedding and how no one except Wanye is excited about it. Despite trying to get the boys excited about the Oilers' royal wedding, no one was buying what he was selling. Put another way, if the wedding was on TV, not one person said they would be willing to watch it. Changing gears, Chalmers went on a classic rant about people getting famous for absolutely no reason after the Hawk Tuah girl started to get upwards of $30,000 for an appearance. What does she do for such a massive fee? It's a fair question. That led the guys to wonder what the future will be for her once the 15 minutes of fame winds down. How long will it be until she has a podcast? How long will people even be willing to pay for appearances?With Edmonton being as hot as it is this week, the guys talked about how they're handling the heat. From ordering air conditioners to upping the Slurpee consumption, dealing with the heat hasn't necessarily been easy but it is certainly preferable to what happens in the winter. Yet, on Better Lait Than Never, the informal poll Baggedmilk took was very much split down the weather about preferring the heat or the cold.Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast with a random collection of topics, including Winston Churchill's daily drinking habits, John Daly's consumption during a round of golf, diving in soccer, and how many joints Snoop Dogg smokes in a day. Needless to say, the last 15 minutes of the show bopped around all over the place. If you love randomness, the end of the Thursday episode of Real Life is absolutely for you. 💻 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 a special free agency edition of the Real Life Podcast, and that meant the boys had to get back on the grind and talk about what happened so far on the first day in free agency.Kicking off the podcast, the guys got started with some of the news and stories they didn't have a chance to get to since the last time everyone was in the same room together. From what they did after Game 7 in Florida to Tyler's hotel room having sewage backing up into the sink, there was a lot to get caught up on after the guys hadn't really done a show together in a while.Turning the podcast back to the Oilers, the boys started by looking back at Ken Holland's tenure as the team's GM and whether it was a successful five-year run by him. As you'll hear, the guys aren't willing to give Holland as much credit as others. Despite the fact that the Oilers just made it to Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, no one was saying it was a mission accomplished for Uncle Ken. The discussion then turned to what the Oilers did on the first day of free agency: They locked in Viktor Arvidsson to a two-year deal, Corey Perry to a one-year deal, Josh Brown to a three-year deal, and Connor Carrick to a one-year deal. While it was certainly an eventful day, that doesn't mean everyone was totally on board with what happened. Of the moves the Oilers made, it seems like only Arvidsson gets a passing grade from the squad, but it's noteworthy that everyone agrees they're probably not done. Finally, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of the Real Life podcast with a few stories from Tyler about what it was like to cover the draft in Las Vegas at the Sphere. According to Tyler, it was beautiful to look at the Sphere, but it was one of those things that would have been better experienced in a different setting than trying to do work while the walls were moving. Needless to say, it was a long stretch on the road for old man Yaremchuk. 💻 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 the first Nation Real Life Podcast since the Edmonton Oilers fell in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final to the Florida Panthers. Wanye, Chalmers, and Liam reminisced on the season that was chatting about their favourite memories with family and friends, as well as the vibes around the city. They talked about the feeling of having the season come to an end and how crazy it is that the new season isn't so far away.As the show went on, they discussed Connor McDavid's decision not to come out to receive his Conn Smythe Trophy and if he should've or not. That conversation continued into McDavid's wedding this summer as Wanye bragged about the dress that Lauren Kyle, or as he said on the show LK1, will be wearing.Finally, the guys wrapped up the show with Chalmers' new found love of soccer and some betting for our friends at bet365.💻 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.
