Nation Real Life

Thursday afternoon means a new episode of the Real Life Podcast is ready to wrap up your week and help you make sense of this crazy little thing called life. On this week's podcast, the guys talked about their New Year's Eve plans, getting into the World Juniors, and a whole lot more.The guys started the Thursday episode of Real Life by discussing New Year's Resolutions and how this point on the calendar feels like a zone where days blend together. But now that the calendar has flipped to 2025, routines are starting to feel a little more normal. Needless to say, it's always a battle to get back in the swing of things after the Christmas break.Sticking with New Year's Eve, the guys ran through their plans from the night, and what was most interesting was that no one did anything and loved it. That led Chalmers and Baggedmilk to argue about the state of country music after both guys watched the Nashville NYE special. Since Chalmers is a country purist, he didn't appreciate the face tattoos and auto-tuned singing that has invaded the genre over the last year or so.Finally, the fellas wrapped up this episode of the podcast with a collection of random topics, including the scaring of children, Jay's new hydrogen water bottle, and a bunch of other nonsense that was not included on Tyler's prep sheet. As you'll hear, Jay is very passionate about his new hydrogren bottle and tried to convince the fellas that it wasn't just wasted money. As always, the Thursday episode of the podcast was all over the map even when they tried to stay on topic.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.

Monday afternoon means a new episode of the Real Life Podcast is ready to kick off your week and help you make sense of this crazy little thing called life. On this week's podcast, the guys recapped their Christmas break and walked through all of the stories you missed over the last week since the last show.The guys kicked off the Monday episode of Real Life with a random selection of topics, ranging from Tyler's first egg nog in his adult life to how many hot dogs someone can eat before they're tired of them. That led Jay to tell the story of one of his Canada Day parties, where he overindulged on dogs and ended up having one of the worst experiences of his life.Changing gears, the guys shifted the podcast to how everyone spent their Christmas. For Jay, having a young daughter who's old enough to be excited for Santa was a wonderful experience. This year, Santa brought Crawford a GT Snow Racer, and it was a proud dad moment to see her cruising down the hill like a little speed demon.Sticking with the Christmas conversation, the guys talked about their favourite gifts from this year and how it made everyone feel incredibly old because all of the best presents were incredibly practical. If you're ever feeling old, nothing lets you know you're actually there quite like being excited about new pans and a fresh wok.Finally, the first episode of Real Life of the week wrapped with a conversation with some hockey talk. Starting with the World Juniors, the guys discussed whether they're still as excited as they used to be about the annual Christmas tourney. Was everyone more into the tournament when the Oilers were bad? As you'll hear, the tournament seems to have lost its lustre for the boys on the show as they've gotten older. 💻 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.

Monday afternoon means a new episode of the Real Life Podcast is ready to kick off your week and help you navigate the Christmas break. On today's show, the boys discussed Leon Draisaitl's fantastic season, NFL quarterback gifts, and much more. With only Baggedmilk and Tyler available to record, the boys started the Monday episode with some Oilers talk. Starting with Leon Draisaitl's commitment to defence, it's been wonderful to watch our German superstar elevating his game at a time when the team needed him. While we've seen him play more of a two-way style in the playoffs, having him do it during the early days of the regular season has been fantastic. Changing gears, the conversation shifted to some of the gifts NFL quarterbacks are giving their offensive linemen as gifts, and what we've learned is that those dudes are that they have no problem spending cash on the big men who protect them. Whether it's giving the O-line a new car, expensive tequila, or explaining that they can't all get guns, it's fascinating to see the kind of money that flies around at Christmas. Getting back on the ice, Baggedmilk and Tyler spent some time talking about the father and son who got into a fight with each other at a beer league game. It prompted the boys to wonder how they would fare against their own dads if push came to shove. As you'll hear, neither of them thinks they'd have any chance against their dads on flat ground but could have a chance to win that fight on ice. Finally, Tyler and Baggedmilk wrapped up the podcast with some more hockey talk as they looked around the league and tried to figure out why some of the bad teams aren't better. Why do the Buffalo Sabres always suck? Is Steve Yzerman as good of a general manager as people expected? All the fellas know for sure is that there are a lot of stinky teams out there, and knowing that gives Baggedmilk comfort. 💻 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.

Thursday afternoon means a new episode of the Real Life Podcast is ready to wrap up your week and help you navigate the rest of it. On today's show, the guys discussed the Nation Christmas party, Babe Rwuth theories, and some love for Zach Hyman's toughness.The boys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a discussion about the Nation Christmas party that happened last night at Nation HQ and how the party rolled on until 4 AM for some of the staff. After spending literally two seconds recapping the party, the conversation turned to a much darker place. If you've never heard the Babe Ruth stories from back in the day, this first section of the podcast will be illuminating.From there, the conversation turned back to the White Elephant gift exchange at the Nation Christmas party and how it was an elite way to spend an hour. Not only were there endless steals, but the chaos that ensued as the rounds progressed was thrilling to witness. That also led to the boys discussing whether it's fair game to take your own present back, provided you're not thrilled with the other options.Moving the show back to the Oilers, the guys started the discussion with some love for Zach Hyman after getting his nose broken and returning to play the very next period. If you've seen the pictures of him from practice Thursday morning, it's incredible to think of how tough the guy has to be to keep playing with that kind of injury. The fellas also covered the disappointing loss to the Florida Panthers on Monday, and how it was an annoying blip during what has been a fantastic stretch of hockey. Finally, Chalmers asked the guys for their opinion on using the app Splitwise, and if it ever makes sense to split costs equally. While there are certainly times when splitting the bill makes sense, getting too much into the weeds on expenses can really ruin the vibe of a trip. As you'll hear, no one on the podcast subscribes to this kind of thing, and you'd be better off not inviting them anywhere if you are. 💻 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 guys are back for a new edition of the Real Life Podcast as they sat down to recap the weekend. To kick things off, Tyler talked about his EPS ride along from this weekend. He shared a few stories and the guys wondered if would make a good police officer. There were a couple of spicy moments that he told everyone about and that took the podcast in a few pretty interesting directions.From there, they started talking about the Oilers big win over the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday afternoon. The big story was whether or not Jays daughter was finally able to meet Hunter the Lynx but outside of that, they did talk about what’s been driving this winning streak for the Oil.Wanye says it was the most impressive win of the season which led to a look back at some of the other big games from the first two months of the season. Is this Oilers team back to the same level that they were at the end of last season? The guys broke it all down.They then talked about a couple of big trips that the group has coming in 2025 including going back out to Jasper for the annual pond hockey tournament and heading to Vegas for the Oilers game in April. They shared what they’re excited about and talked about how you can join them!💻 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.

Thursday afternoon means a new episode of the Real Life Podcast is ready to wrap up your week and help you navigate the rest of it. On today's show, the guys discussed Christmas gift-giving, the price of hockey equipment, and where everyone sits with Egg Nog.The boys started the podcast with an extended conversation about tap water and how Chalmers has resorted to buying distilled water to make his ice to avoid the fog caused by tap water. As you'll hear, no one was on board with this strategy, and the reaction to his story left Chalmers feeling vulnerable about his admission.Somehow, the discussion about tap water and ice machines led to a conversation about egg nog. Tyler had some in his fridge but refused to try them. From there, the guys wondered if there are any Egg Nog applications they haven't experienced yet. Would it make sense in a latte? How about raw dog pouring it into coffee instead of milk or creamer?Changing gears, Chalmers went on a classic rant about the price of hockey sticks and how both of his sons needed new ones this past week, effectively eliminating the bulk of their Christmas present. Talking about hockey sticks then got the guys going on Tyler's beef with getting gift cards at Christmas, but as you'll hear, his logic on the topic wasn't exactly sound.Finally, the boys wrapped up the Thursday episode of the podcast with a collection of topics, including Juan Soto's new contract, Chalmers new phone game, and the brand new Nation Vacation to Vegas that launched Thursday. As always, the Thursday episode of Real Life was all over the map, so this is the perfect podcast for you if you're into shenanigans and nonsense. 💻 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 Monday afternoon without a fresh episode of the Real Life podcast, would it? Of course not.The guys kicked off the first podcast episode of the week by discussing the Nation Citizen Christmas party and how the boys are excited to see everyone at Dogpatch for a night of shenanigans and a viewing party. That led to a chat about Baggedmilk and Jay's time in Toronto and how they had to jump on a plane almost immediately after getting home from the #NationVacation from Denver.Turning the show back to the Oilers, the conversation turned to whether or not it was fair that the Rogers Place faithful let the boo birds rain down on Dylan Holloway and Philip Broberg. Unlike some folks in the media, the boys thought booing them was fair game. Even though both players weren't necessarily at fault for the offer sheet situation, everyone wondered if part of booing those two was also a reflection of what the fanbase thinks of management.Changing gears, the guys discussed the Juan Soto contract that he signed with the NY Mets and how the money in that sport is completely bananas. Despite not being in the same league as Shohei Ohtani in terms of being a hitter and pitcher, the Soto contract is almost as big as the New York Mets decided to empty the vault out for the former-Yankee. Now that Soto is a Met, it will be fantastic to see what the reception is like the first time he goes back to Yankee stadium.Finally, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a discussion about the annual Jasper Pond Hockey Tournament that will be happening again in January. After the devastation of the wildfires from this past summer, knowing that the tourney is back makes everyone so very happy. If you want to sign up for the tournament, head to the CHE Hockey website and enter your team before they're full.💻 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!!👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

The boys are back in Edmonton for their regularly scheduled Thursday edition of The Real Life Podcast. With Jay and Baggedmilk still on the road, today’s episode featured Tyler, Wanye, and Chalmers and one of the three was in a very spicy mood.Chalmers hasn't been on the podcast for a few weeks as he recovered from elbow surgery and he returned to tell us the tales of his surgery and how good he’s feeling in the aftermath. He was also livid that the boys are back in the old studio after moving upstairs for exactly one episode.From there, they talked about the Four Nations Faceoff roster reveal and the stunning lack of Oilers in the mix for Team Canada. They also talked about the selection process in general and then got into some talk about the current state of the Oilers after their 1-0 loss to the Golden Knights. Tyler also told some more tales from The Nation Vacation and Chalmers had some takes about the current state of youth hockey.💻 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 fresh Real Life from the road as the guys gathered in a hotel room to record the latest episode of The Real Life Podcast. Tyler, Jay, Baggedmilk and Rick were all in Denver for the Nation Vacation. They recapped the first few days of the trip, which featured a pair of victories by the Edmonton Oilers, and talked about everything else that's gone on during the vacation. From Woz's adventures to the group living live to the fullest in the Mile High city, they had plenty to talk about on the podcast.
