Nation Real Life

Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast is here to wrap up your week and help you navigate this crazy little thing called life. Unsurprisingly, the Thursday episode of the podcast was all over the map, with no single topic lasting for more than a few minutes.The guys started the Thursday episode of the podcast by discussing the new studio at Nation HQ and how Wanye is torn about converting one of the rooms into another studio. After spending a minute talking about the new studio, the conversation turned to the Nation Citizens Christmas party at Dogpatch on December 12th. With limited space available, you'll want to reserve a spot early.As you'll hear, the conversation didn't stay on track for long, as Tyler was very distracted by the bets he put down for the Lions vs. Bears game. That also led the guys to get distracted by Yaremchuk's betting sheet after he decided to write down everything he had on a loose-leaf piece of paper. Needless to say, our man puts the work in when it comes to football. Changing gears, the guys spent some time talking about tomorrow's Nation Vacation to Denver and how the logistics leading up to the trip have been hilarious. As you'll hear, the staff from Nation HQ has all kinds of interesting travel quirks, and organizing trips like this brings out the hilarity for everyone involved.Finally, the boys wrapped up the Thursday episode of the podcast with a random collection of topics, including a look at the streamer world, cryptocurrency, and how it's fun for Canadians to mail it in on American Thanksgiving even though it's only Thursday up here. Sure, your boss may expect you to work today, but the reality is that no one is doing much of anything. 💻 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 means a fresh episode of the Real Life podcast is ready to help you kick off your week. Today's episode covers a range of topics after an eventful weekend filled with life events, an Oilers win, and the first snowstorm of the season. On today's podcast, the guys covered the weekend's snowstorm, Wanye being super dad, Chalmers' upcoming surgery, and more.The guys started the Monday episode of Real Life with a conversation about the dump of snow that hit us this past weekend. Of course, everyone on the show is used to Alberta winters, but that doesn't always mean you're ready when Mother Nature dumps a foot of snow over 24 hours. From shovelling snow to driving around during a storm, they walked through their approach to Edmonton's first winter storm.Changing gears, Wanye wanted to discuss why he missed the second period of Saturday's Oilers game. As you'll hear, Papa Wanye was called to duty when his little man got sick after what he thought was a solid way to tire him out. Unfortunately, while Wanye's plan may have been sound in theory, what happened was very different from the expectation.Off to a different topic again, Chalmers walked through the elbow surgery he's getting tomorrow and how doing construction over the last three decades has caused some issues. It was clear that something was wrong if you saw Chalmers walk into the studio ahead of the recording, and it all made sense once he talked about what's going on.Finally, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode with a little bit of Oilers talking, starting with the fact that both Viktor Arvidsson and Zach Hyman are already ruled out for next weekend. Given that both players were originally listed as day-to-day, having them miss this much time without much of an explanation isn't exactly sitting well with a lot of the fanbase.💻 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 fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast is here to wrap up your week and help you navigate this crazy little thing called life. Unsurprisingly, the Thursday episode of the podcast was all over the map with no single topic lasting for more than a few minutes. The fellas kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a discussion about pajamas and how no one understands why anyone would wear PJs that are overly complicated. As you'll hear, the boys kicking off the podcast with PJ talk was really confusing for Jay as he walked into the studio a few minutes late.Changing gears, Jay recapped his trip to Toronto from this week and how he was able to go golfing in November. Even though it's mid-November, getting a round in this late in the year was enough of a reason for Jay to break his own flight rules by checking his golf clubs. Jay also spoke about staying out in Barrie, and how he learned that a lot of pilots live out there and even call it Terminal 4.The guys then discussed the upcoming Nation Vacation to Denver, and how Jay and Tyler signed themselves up for a 5KM Turkey Trot on the day of the Oilers game. For Baggedmilk and Wanye, such a commitment makes little sense given how hard everyone is expected to get after it the night before. On the flip side, maybe a 5KM walk after a night out is exactly what everyone needs to get back on their game. Finally, the fellas wrapped up the Thursday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics, including the Paul Skenes rookie card search, Prince Harry at the Grey Cup, Diddy's prison shenanigans, and how Bigcat from Barstool ended up winning $30K on a bet thanks to an anonymous tip.💻 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 fellas kicked off the first week podcast episode of the week with a random collection of topics, including a look back at some of the biggest sports moments from the past few days. Starting with Connor McDavid's 1,000-point night, the fellas looked back at what was a magical night at Rogers Place and how that was one of the greatest nights to be an Oilers fan that we can remember. Changing gears, the guys looked at Saturday's loss against the Maple Leafs and how avoidable mistakes ended up sinking the Oilers' night even though they probably should have won.The next topic that came up was the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight from Friday night, and started with the issues Netflix was having with the 60 million people logging in to the stream. Given the hype ahead of the fight, the fact that Netflix wasn't prepared for the influx of traffic was stunning. As for the fight itself, Tyler took a victory lap after he basically called what was going to happen on Thursday's podcast. Not only did he predict a Jake Paul win but he also suspected that Tyson wouldn't look anything like the training videos, which is exactly what happened. From there, the guys spoke about the Ryan Reaves hit on Darnell Nurse from Saturday night, and how it was such a needless hit given where the league is at in 2024. For a player like Reaves who plays extremely limited minutes at the best of times, it makes the fact that he took out an Oilers' starter all the more frustrating. The squad also discussed whether a five-game suspension was enough given how violent the collision was and the fact Reaves has a history of predatory hits. 💻 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 fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast is here to wrap up your week and help you navigate this crazy little thing called life. This week, the fellas covered Chalmers' new found appreciation for meditation, Connor McDavid chasing 1000 points, Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul, and a whole lot more. The boys started the podcast by discussing the new studio and how a couple of shipping delays are making Tyler nervous about getting it done on time. But as you'll hear, no one heard the first part of the conversation because none of the microphones were turned on. Picking up where they left off, Chalmers confessed that he's now a meditator and revealed how it's impacting his life.Changing gears, the guys looked at tomorrow's fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul and speculated what everyone thinks will happen. What's clear is that the older boys on the show think 58-year-old Tyson is being disrespected by younger folks who may not remember how devastating he used to be. Granted, Tyson isn't the fighter he was as a younger man, but if he catches Jake Paul with a clean punch, that could be all she wrote. Tyler, however, was willing to put his money where his mouth is with the backing of Jake Paul.Turning the podcast toward the Oilers, the guys looked at Connor McDavid sitting only a single point away from 1,000 in his career, and even took guesses at how he'll pick up the point. If he does reach the milestone on Thursday against Nashville, the thing the guys wanted everyone to remember is that they should enjoy the moment. Even though we've all gotten used to Connor McDavid doing ridiculous things on an annual basis, this latest milestone is anything but normal. 💻 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 boys kicked off the podcast by discussing an idea from Target in the USA: patrons can enjoy a beer while they're shopping. The boys then wondered if they would even want to spend more time in the grocery store or if they believed this could be an insurance issue waiting to happen.Changing gears, the guys spent the next few minutes talking about the Nation Vacation at the end of the month and how the boys are excited about the 5KM run they organized for Denver. Baggedmilk, however, is thrilled to be sitting out that run and promises to meet the boys with a fresh beer when they cross the finish line. Turning the podcast back toward the Oilers, the boys discussed how great it was to watch the boys dismantle the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday. Given that the boys were struggling to score goals, is it too much to hope that the floodgates could open up a little bit? That said, there are still a couple of players — Nugent-Hopkins and Podkolzin, specifically — who are struggling mightily to get pucks in the net. Finally, the fellas wrapped up the podcast with a discussion about Jeff Marek joining The Nation Network and how it's wild to think about how far TNN has come over the years. Needless to say, welcoming Marek into the family was a big moment for the company, and the guys are all excited to see what kind of content he produces with the MSM shackles coming off. 

Today’s episode of The Real Life Podcast is going to have a bit of a different sound to it. The guys hit the road in an all new F-150 from our friends at Sherwood Ford The Giant and were joined by their friend Esky from the dealership, who is a die hard Oilers fan. They talked about his life as a fan and his thoughts on the team. He also walked them through some features on the truck they were driving.They also talked about last night’s loss to the Vegas Golden Knights. It featured a late blown lead, a weak goal from Stuart Skinner, and some tough plays by Evan Bouchard, which had Jay smirking. They talked about the public perception around the team right now and why there’s no reason to be concerned.They also talked a little betting before returning the truck to the dealership and wrapping 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.

A fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast is here to kickstart your week. Today's show had Tyler, Chalmers and Wanye sitting down to talk about the latest surrounding the Edmonton Oilers, their lives and the world of sports. To kick things off, Chalmers talked about why his voice was so raspy and then led to some discussion about his youth sports. From there, they talked about the Oilers' big two wins since their last episode including a massive victory over the Calgary Flames, which sounded like a home game on the broadcast.They then touched on the fact that Connor McDavid could be nearing a return much earlier than previously anticipated. He won't be back for tonight's game however, which is on Amazon Prime and that led to a whole different conversation about how to actually watch the game. From there, they talked about their best bets for tonight and also they mixed in some NFL talk from the past weekend. Tyler also cut his hand and told that story, which Chalmers thought was fake.💻 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 podcast, the fellas worked through their favourite Halloween snacks, old bar stories, social media influencers, and a whole lot more. The guys kicked off the podcast with a discussion about everyone's Halloween plans and approaches to the annual candy grab. From cruising around with their young kids to Tyler being dressed as a cat to the best Halloween they've experienced, the Halloween talk was all over the map. Somehow, talking about costumes led Jay and Wanye to talk about the first business they started, running pub crawls.Changing gears, the guys turned the podcast toward the Oilers, as both Noah Philp and Drake Caggiula will make their season debuts with Connor McDavid out of the lineup for the next couple of weeks. While everyone is excited to see what these two can do in the lineup, the conversation turned to social media influencers and how there's a subgenre of creators who do nothing but comment on what's happening with more popular creators. It's an interesting space on the Internet, but one that's growing quickly.Finally, the guys worked through a couple of bets ahead of Thursday's Oilers game and wondered how the team will respond with Connor McDavid on the shelf. Needless to say, the boys aren't exactly feeling too confident given how poorly Monday's game against Columbus went with McDavid on the shelf. Even though there are still so many good players on the team, the days aren't quite as bright with the captain down and out. 💻 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.
