This is all about Levi's jeans

A new episode of the Real Life Podcast is here to take you into the work week! This week features an epic throwback right from the jump and also the return of Chris Chalmers. It's been a few weeks since he joined the podcast as he recovered from the Oilers being eliminated from the playoffs.


They talked about Levi's jeans, a wild story that involves a fake boy band and Japanese Village, and also a new TV show that Wanye is obsessed with. The episode had a lot of twists and turns early on, but they all eventually connected to each other... we think. PLUS: could Jay hit a ball our of ReMax Field? The group debated it.


They did also talk some hockey as the Oilers missed out on free agent Andrei Kuzmenko. Tyler explained how that affects the Oiler's offseason plans. They also talked about potential contracts for the Oiler's three pending RFA forwards.


Jay had to leave the podcast early which means that Wanye took over and once again talked about his plan to release an Oilers themed EP.

  • 573. Urban farming, parking gate, and Connor McDavid is back in the lineup

    01:02:50
    There's no better way to wrap up your Monday than with a fresh episode of the Real Like Podcast, and this week, the boys churned out a classic episode. The guys discussed Tyler's neighbourhood drama, urban farming, and the Oilers welcoming Connor McDavid back to the lineup after missing three straight. The Real Life Podcast kicked off this week's episode with a diverse range of topics. From Jay's dance with a 6mg Zyn to Dogpatch's creative use of leftover bread and discussion on the number of chickens one can own in Edmonton, the first 15 minutes were a whirlwind of interesting and unexpected conversations.Changing gears, we got the latest update on the drama on Tyler's street. Over the last year, his neighbours have been beefing in a very real way, and the story escalated once again this past weekend. The pettiness is rising to exponential levels, and the result has now been for the police to get involved. To put it simply, things are really getting out of hand.Turning the show back to the Oilers, the guys talked about Connor McDavid's return to the lineup after missing the last three with a lower-body injury. The captain is currently sitting at 99 assists on the year with the opportunity to hit the century mark, and that had the guys feeling bullish about betting on the game in anticipation that he hits the mark against the Sharks. Lastly, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of the podcast with a little bit of betting talk and a Masters recap after Scottie Scheffler won his second career Masters tournament. 
  • 572. Rap beef, Oilers wins, and Chalmers' Draisaitl dilemma

    01:12:22
    Is there anything better than a fresh episode of the Real Life podcast to help you close out your week? Of course not. This Thursday, the squad discussed OJ Simpson's passing, the rap beef between J.Cole, Drake, and Kendrick Lamar.On the Thursday episode of Real Life, the guys started with the news that everyone was talking about: OJ Simpson died. That gave Chalmers the opportunity to test out a new Ghost OJ impression to recap the final days of his life. As you'll hear, the podcast started off like a house on fire, and it didn't really slow down much from there. Changing gears, the guys talked about the J. Cole and Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar rap beef. While Wanye thinks this whole beef is fake news, Baggedmilk and Chalmers don't care as long as the music is good. According to Worldstar's Instagram, Drake will be dropping a new diss track at some point Thursday, and that news had the boys excited that the song will be a banger. Turning the podcast toward the Oilers, the guys recapped this three-game winning streak and how Edmonton is starting to play some really strong hockey at the best time of the year. Last night's win over the Vegas Golden Knights was an absolute demolition, and the team did it without their captain in the lineup. Finally, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode with a discussion about whether or not Leon Draisaitl would be able to drive a team on his own without McDavid being there as his partner in crime. The most entertaining part of the segment was that the other three guys on the show were not at all on the same page with everyone else.  👍🏼Bet 99: https://bet99-8390734.hs-sites.com/oilersnation-b99net-giveaway👍🏼 DoorDash: https://www.doordash.com/?utm_source=wavemaker&utm_medium=Integration&utm_campaign=DoorDash_CAN_Q4_2023_CX_Core_Integrations_NTL&utm_term=TheNationNetwork👍🏼 Snow Valley Aerial Park: https://www.snowvalley.ca/aerial-park/👍🏼Rainbow Valley Campground: https://www.rainbow-valley.com/Reach out to sales@thenationnetwork.com to connect with our Sales Team and discuss opportunities to partner with us!Visit www.nationgear.ca for merch and more.
  • 571. It's the Tyler & Wanye Show!

    47:26
    Attendance for today's podcast was sparce as Jay was in Toronto, Baggedmilk was getting his whipped service and Chalmers was on the grind. That meant it was a Tyler and Wanye takeover episode of the podcast and the two of them had a blast. They kicked things off by talking a little bit about their lives before the nation when they both worked retail jobs. They told stories of theft, promotions, and the lessons that come from having real jobs. From there, they talked about the Oilers strong weekend and their pursuit of the top spot in the division. Wanye talked about how we seem to gloss over positive moments now and reminded everyone of how dark things were at one point in Edmonton. They wrapped up the show with some talk about their lives as of late and concluded a fun two-man edition of The Real Life Podcast.👍🏼Bet 99: https://bet99-8390734.hs-sites.com/oilersnation-b99net-giveaway👍🏼 DoorDash: https://www.doordash.com/?utm_source=wavemaker&utm_medium=Integration&utm_campaign=DoorDash_CAN_Q4_2023_CX_Core_Integrations_NTL&utm_term=TheNationNetwork👍🏼 Snow Valley Aerial Park: https://www.snowvalley.ca/aerial-park/👍🏼Rainbow Valley Campground: https://www.rainbow-valley.com/Reach out to sales@thenationnetwork.com to connect with our Sales Team and discuss opportunities to partner with us!Visit  www.nationgear.ca for merch and more.
  • 570. Oilers got stomped in Dallas, phone calls, and Oakland sports struggles

    01:07:28
    Is there anything better than a fresh episode of the Real Life podcast to help you close out your week? Absolutely not. This Thursday, the squad discussed phone etiquette, the Oilers' horrific loss to the Stars, and whatever nonsense came to mind.Starting off the Thursday episode of Real Life, the guys launched into a lively debate about whether or not they're likely to answer their phone if you call. It's always a surprise to see where these discussions lead, and this time, it led to a revelation-there are a few guys on the podcast who will not answer a phone call if it comes in past business hours.Somehow, talking about phone calls led to a recap of Wanye and Jay's trip to Moose Jaw. Not only did they go to watch the Warriors win a couple of playoff games, but they also went to the casino to play some Blackjack, which led to a passionate conversation about their approach to the tables.Turning the podcast back to the Oilers, the guys discussed last night's debacle in Dallas. That game was supposed to be a measuring stick night for Edmonton, but what ended up happening was that they got demolished by a team that was better in every way. Needless to say, that loss was one of the worst the team has had in some time, and it was incredibly demoralizing to watch.Finally, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of Real Life with a collection of topics, including the Oakland A's moving to Sacramento, what everyone would do if they won the lottery, buying ice at McDonald's, and why the Oilers changed the way they run the 50/50. Did the boys stick to any of those topics for more than a minute? They did not. 👍🏼Bet 99: https://bet99-8390734.hs-sites.com/oilersnation-b99net-giveaway👍🏼 DoorDash: https://www.doordash.com/?utm_source=wavemaker&utm_medium=Integration&utm_campaign=DoorDash_CAN_Q4_2023_CX_Core_Integrations_NTL&utm_term=TheNationNetwork👍🏼 Snow Valley Aerial Park: https://www.snowvalley.ca/aerial-park/👍🏼Rainbow Valley Campground: https://www.rainbow-valley.com/Reach out to sales@thenationnetwork.com to connect with our Sales Team and discuss opportunities to partner with us!Visit  www.nationgear.ca for merch and more.
  • 569. The Oilers' playoff drive, betting on the Jays, and navigating April Fool's Day

    54:57
    Monday means a fresh episode of the Real Life podcast is set and ready to launch you into the start of a new week. This week, the guys were discussing the Oilers' stretch drive, spring in Edmonton, and how this part of the year is one of the greatest times for sports.Kicking off the Monday episode of Real Life, the boys discussed the end of the Edmonton Oilers' 2023-24 campaign and how it's getting to the point where every game is exciting. Not only are the games exciting, but the boys are also playing some meaningful games down the stretch that still has them chasing the Vancouver Canucks for first place in the Pacific Division.Changing gears, the guys spent the next few minutes talking about betting on baseball after the new MLB season kicked off last week. One thing you'll learn as you get into betting on baseball is how far into the weeds you can get. As you'll hear, Tyler and his buddies go way out there when they're betting on baseball, and some of the bets they put down almost sound made up, given how random they are.Getting back to the Oilers, Tyler wanted to know who the fellas would name as the Oilers' MVP if we took Connor McDavid out of the equation. Even though McDavid has been undoubtedly fantastic, Tyler's point was that the team wouldn't be anywhere without Stuart Skinner. Had it not been for Skinner's incredible turnaround, the reality is that this season could have fallen off the rails. 👍🏼Bet 99: https://bet99-8390734.hs-sites.com/oilersnation-b99net-giveaway👍🏼 DoorDash: https://www.doordash.com/?utm_source=wavemaker&utm_medium=Integration&utm_campaign=DoorDash_CAN_Q4_2023_CX_Core_Integrations_NTL&utm_term=TheNationNetwork👍🏼 Snow Valley Aerial Park: https://www.snowvalley.ca/aerial-park/👍🏼Rainbow Valley Campground: https://www.rainbow-valley.com/Reach out to sales@thenationnetwork.com to connect with our Sales Team and discuss opportunities to partner with us!Visit www.nationgear.ca for merch and more.
  • 568. Tyler's illness, Wanye's love of shrimp, and even more love for Zach Hyman

    52:50
    Is there anything better than a fresh episode of the Real Life podcast to help you close out your week? Absolutely not. This Thursday, the squad was looking at the start of the 2024 MLB season, the Oilers' matchup versus the Kings, and the horrific stories kicking off in the world of hip hop.Kicking off the Thursday episode of Real Life, Tyler walked the gang through the illness that kept him off the Monday episode of the podcast. As you'll hear, Yaremchuk gets a little bit graphic when describing his flu-related symptoms.Changing gears, the guy talked a little bit about sports, as the Oilers take on the Los Angeles Kings in a huge Pacific Division game, and the Toronto Blue Jays are getting set to kick off their 2024 MLB season. With baseball kicking off today, the guys looked at a few different stories from around the league, including the Shohei Ohtani betting scandal, the Jays' chances of making some noise, and what is going on with the Oakland A's.Lastly, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of the Real Life Podcast with some March Madness talk after news started coming out about some of the star players signing huge endorsement contracts. That basketball talk led to further discussion about the Oilers, as the boys square off for a critical matchup against the LA Kings tonight at Rogers Place.
  • 567. A tough weekend for the Oilers, poop phone, and the Shohei Ohtani shenanigans

    01:04:19
    It was a tough weekend in Oilers land, which meant there was plenty to talk about on the Monday episode of Real Life. The real question, as always, was whether the guys would talk about the team or wander into topics unknown.Kicking off the podcast, the guys got started with a recap of Wanye's eventful weekend after an unexpected parenting challenge caught him completely off guard. As you'll hear, having children can be an adventure, and sometimes the result will be a disgusting mess you never expected.Changing gears, the guys got into some Oilers talk after what was a very difficult weekend in Ontario. After back-to-back losses in Toronto and Ottawa, the Oilers will need to check themselves in the mirror after some costly errors and poor ended up sewering their time in Ontario. No matter how you slice it, it was a tough weekend for Edmonton. Lastly, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a look at the Shohei Ohtani situation with the Dodgers and how that story just gets more bizarre by the day. Needless to say, having this scandal break out so shortly after signing his monster contract in LA is the last thing the MLB needs.
  • 566. March Madness, Shohei Ohtani's translator, and a little bit of Oilers talk

    53:58
    It's Thursday afternoon, and that means a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast is all set and ready to massage your earholes. This week, the guys discussed the start of March Madness, the big Shohei Ohtani news, and gave a few takes on the Edmonton Oilers while they were at it. Kicking off the Thursday episode of Real Life, the guys got started with a look at the Oilersnation March Madness bracket and how one of the favourites has already been eliminated from the tournament. With brackets across the Nation ruined after only one game, the guys had a good time walking through the first couple hours of the NCAA's big moment. Changing gears, the guys spent the next few minutes talking about sports betting after the news broke this week that Shohei Ohtani's translator was fired for allegedly gambling on sports. Given how much money some of these companies are investing in pro leagues, is it really surprising to find out that people close to the game are putting bets down?Turning the podcast back to the Oilers, the guys looked at tonight's rematch versus the Buffalo Sabres and how a win in this game would put Edmonton that much closer to catching the Vancouver Canucks. At 7-1-2 in their last 10 games, the Oilers definitely have a chance to chase down Vancouver, but they'll need to pick up wins against teams like the Sabres to make that happen. 
  • 565. Tyler gets engaged... for real this time

    57:43
    It's time for your regularly scheduled Monday afternoon episode of the Real Life Podcast. Only this time, the boys had some major news to talk about after Tyler finally got engaged to his lovely girlfriend, and it's not even a bit this time.Kicking off the Monday pod, the guys started with the breaking news from this past weekend that Tyler Yaremchuk got engaged to his longtime girlfriend. Given that this has been a running bit on the podcast for several years now, some people thought the engagement was a joke, but he actually did it for real this time. Changing gears, the guys then recapped Jay's vacation to Hawaii and the business trip he took immediately afterward to Copenhagen to meet our new business daddies at Better Collective. As you'd imagine, going from Hawaii straight to Denmark is quite the piece of travel, and bopping all over the planet the way he has over the last couple of weeks has him feeling upside down.Lastly, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of the podcast with a collection of random topics that ranged from March Madness to Oilers to why Wanye and Jay are invested in the Kate Middleton mystery. Needless to say, the end of this week's podcast was a classic dose of Real Life since no one could seem to stick to one topic for more than a few seconds.
