From there, the guys spent a few minutes recapping the Nation Christmas party that happened last night at SOHO, and how it was great to get everyone together.

Changing gears, the guys spoke about the World Cup Final that happened on Saturday morning and how it was one of the greatest games any of them had seen. Seeing as none of the guys are soccer fans, it's probably ridiculous to hear them talk about the climax of the biggest sporting event on earth. Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast with a look at the Edmonton Oilers, start

Needless to say, Jay had an amazing night at the Oilers and Predators game after Leon Draisaitl and the gang put on a clinic for the second straight time against the Preds. Somehow, the Oilers beating the snot out of the Predators led the guys to talk about the window to win is open and how Ken Holland needs to support his stars with a strong supporting cast. From there, the podcast fell off the rails a little bit as the guys started talking about a new TLN show called MILF Manor that's set to air in mid-January.

Changing gears, the guys spent some time on the World Cup as everyone wanted to know how Liam felt after England fell to France on a missed penalty kill by Harry Kane.

With that out of the way, the guys turned back to last night's Oilers game and how the 8-2 blowout against the Arizona Coyotes was really the only acceptable result. Even though it was fun to see the Oilers put up a touchdown and a rouge, it was one of those nights where anything less than that would be unacceptable. Changing gears, the guys spent some time talking about the TikTok algorithm and how Baggedmilk loves to try and ruin Tyler's experience by sending him the strangest possible videos. Turning back to the Oilers, the guys wrapped up the Thursday e

Lastly, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a Tyler confessing that he had to cancel h

Is that too much to expect from one win? Did the boys' opinion change after seeing the laundry list of injuries the team is dealing with right now? Changing gears, the conversation turned to coffee consumption and beer advent calendars, and how the Christmas season is the worst time of year if you're planning to cut down on your vices. Somehow talking about coffee and beers led to the guys complaining about speeding tickets and road conditions around the city. Are any of the guys city planners? No, of course not, but that didn't matter whatsoever. To wrap

With the football talk out of the way, the conversation turned back to the Edmonton Oilers and how last night's loss to the New York Islanders was one of the most frustrating nights of the year. Seeing as this team was supposed to have Stanley Cup aspirations, the Oilers don't look like a team that's anywhere close to where they should be. Looking ahead at Saturday's game against the Rangers, Tyler asked who the guys would start in net an

From there, the guys told a few old Oilersnation stories as The Nation Network prepares for its 15th anniversary, and as you'll hear, things didn't always run quite as smoothly. From there, the podcast really fell off the rails as Wanye, Jay, and Baggedmilk told all kinds of stories that had nothing to do with anything, which ultimately to a whole lot of randomness. Getting back to the Oilers, the guys spent a

Somehow this conversation about Sam Bankman-Fried led to Chalmers following up on Monday's gripe about why he can't watch Yellowstone. Sticking with TV, the guys then spent some time talking about Saturday Night Live and how it takes some time to fall in love with a new cast even though they're all funny and incredibly talented. Turning the podcast back to the Oilers, t

That led Wanye to finally telling the story about how he found out Sam Gagner was supposed to be the next captain of the Edmonton Oilers, and how the whole world came crashing down around them when he was wrong. Turning back to the Oilers, the guys looked at the disaster that happened on Saturday and how it's very d

Changing gears, the guys actually got to business with a chat about Ryan Reynolds' interest in buying the Ottawa Senators and how everyone on the show thought it was a fantastic idea. Next up, Wanye wondered if Drake might be the next Canadian celebrity in line to be a team owner, which led to Baggedmilk finding out he got bamboozled by the rapper with a deep fake video. Turning back to the Oilers, the guys looked at the Hall of Fa

As you'll hear, the game day giveaway went so much better than any of the boys could have expected, but that's also what made the event so spectacular. Needless to say, it may have been an impromptu contest and trip bu

Getting back to the Oilers, the guys announced more details for the game day giveaway that'll be happening for our friends in Calgary. As you'll hear, this contest could not be easier.

Leaning into the randomness, the boys then spent some time talking about an upcoming Jonah Hill movie that will see him profile the legendary golfer, John Daly. Can anyone picture Jonah Hill a
