Nation Real Life

The long weekend may be over but that doesn’t mean the fun has to end because the boys are back with a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast to help you get this new week started. In today’s episode, the guys looked at the new recording studio, Tyler's tough day, previewed the new season, and a whole lot more. Kicking off today's podcast, the guys got started with a conversation about the new recording studio and all of the new content that's happening at Nation HQ for the upcoming season. As you'll hear, all of that new content meant more opportunities for Tyler to stress out which is an endless source of entertainment for anyone that gets to watch the chaos happen. Changing gears, the guys spoke with great enthusiasm about the new season as they walked through some of the futures bets that are listed on PointsBet. With the Oilers kicking off their season tomorrow night against the Canucks, the guys expressed their excitement about the new season and took a few guesses as to what the atmosphere will be like

Another Thursday has arrived on our calendars and that means the boys from the Real Life Podcast are back with a brand new episode to help you get you through what’s left of your week. Today, the boys were talking about the new podcast studio, Brendan Perlini, and a whole lot more.   To kick off the Thursday episode of Real Life, the guys got started with stories from their school days for some reason, which led down a strange road of grudges about parents giving their stuff away. That led to the boys chatting about the new recording studio and how only half of the cast members were told the podcast was being recorded at Nation HQ today. Somehow, the podcast studio talk caused Chalmers to complain about Connor McDavid's social media feed only featuring ads as opposed to what he's doing on a day-to-day basis. The guys also checked in on the latest round of NFL fan fights which cause Wanye, Jay, and Chalmers to reminisce about their fighting days and how Chalmers was apparently to blame for all of it. Lastly, w

The weekend may be over but that doesn’t mean the fun has to end as the boys are back with a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast to help you get through what’s left of your Monday. In today’s episode, the guys looked at Facebook and Instagram being down, the NHL preseason, Joey Moss' locker room tribute, and a whole lot more. Kicking off the Monday episode of Real Life, the guys got started with a look at Facebook and Instagram being down and how the Internet is freaking out about the platforms being down. As much as we tend not to think about those platforms all that often apart from getting mad at relatives for their Farmville invites, there is nothing quite as entertaining as the reactions that spread around social media when one of the major platforms are is down.  Moving over to the Oilers, the guys got into some preseason talk as the Oilers continue to make cuts and inch their way towards an opening night roster. As the preseason wears on, the lineups are starting to take shape and it seemed like the

Another Thursday has landed on the calendar and that means the boys from the Real Life Podcast are back with a brand new episode of the show to help you get you through what’s left of your week. Today, the boys were talking National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, fans being back at Rogers Place, and a whole lot more. Kicking off this week’s podcast, the guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a conversation about National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and why it's important to keep the conversation going beyond just this one day. Here at the Nation, the guys talked about how important it is for stories being posted online to take the time to learn about what happened in this county. Changing gears, the guys spoke at length about the preseason that's in full swing and whether or not we should be getting excited about how well the Oilers have done so far. From Zach Hyman finding a home on McDavid's wing to Lamborghini Perlini scoring goals en masse, the Kool-Aid was going down smooth as the

The weekend may be over but that doesn’t mean the fun has to end as the boys are back with a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast to help you get through what’s left of your Monday. In today’s episode, the guys covered the Oilers' pre-season win over the Flames, climbing the oil derrick, and welcomed John Scott to the podcast to discuss all things hockey and preview the NHL season. To kick off the Monday podcast, the guys got started with a look at the Ryder Cup and specifically how funny it was to see Justin Thomas and Daniel Berger pounding back a couple of beers on day one of the tournament. Speaking of beers, the Oilers are setting up the oil derrick in Ford Hall near the beer gardens which prompted the guys to wonder how long it will take before some drunk dude decides to climb that baby. Getting the show back on the rails, the guys welcomed former NHL tough guy and Dropping the Gloves host, John Scott, to the podcast to talk about everything from sore hips, broken hands, and what it's like to play men

Another Thursday has landed on the calendar and that means the boys from the Real Life Podcast are back with a brand new episode of the show to help you get you through what’s left of your week. Today, they’re talking about new projects, podcast censorship, NFL betting, and a whole lot more. To kick things off, the podcast got started with a conversation about Jay's pitch call to ESPN about a potential new deal that the Network is working on for DailyFaceoff.com. From the legal talk to contracts with a massive company like Disney, it was interesting to hear Jay talk a little bit about what it's like for a deal like this to come together. From there, the guys started talking about all of the stuff that got bleeped out of Monday's podcast and the feedback that came in as a result. Did Tyler cut things out that needed to be cut to save the podcast? All unnecessary? Who's to say. Getting to the Oilers, the guys spoke a little bit about training camp, specifically the video that Ryan Rishaug posted that showed Con

The weekend may be over but that doesn’t mean the fun has to end as the boys are back with a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast to help you get through what’s left of your Monday. In today’s episode, the guys covered Tyler Yaremchuks's rise to stardom, tennis documentaries, and a whole lot more.   To kick off the Monday podcast, the guys got started by busting Tyler Yaremchuk's balls after he spent a few days in Chicago hobnobbing with some of the NHL's elite last week with Frank Seravalli and the DailyFaceoff crew. From dinners with business daddy to a steak dinner with staff from ESPN to breaking news from Bill Daly, Yaremchuk's first week at full-time with the company was a ridiculous one and it was fun for everyone to hear him tell the story with a huge grin on his face. With Yaremchuk's tires adequately pumped, the podcast got derailed when Chalmers jumped in to talk about tennis documentaries that no one else had seen, but the good news is that it led into a conversation about the fight that broke o

Real Life Podcast Episode 314 – Woz sits in for Tyler, allowing Baggedmilk and Wanye to steer things into the ditch Another Thursday has landed on the calendar and that means the boys from the Real Life Podcast are back with a brand new episode of the show to help you get you through what's left of your week. Today, they’re talking Woz's podcasting career, space documentaries, adding wrestling into hockey, and a whole lot more. Kicking off this week's podcast, the guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a Woz interview as he was sitting in for Yaremchuk who decided to big time everyone and head down to Chicago with Frank Seravalli. From his soccer podcast taking off to landing a gig with the Nation, Woz gave the guys a rundown on his come up on social media and how he turned that into a gig with the Nation Network. Then, almost surprisingly, the guys sprinkled in a little bit of Oilers talk just to make Tyler Yaremchuk happy even though he'll never listen to the show before Wanye and Baggedmil

The weekend may be over but that doesn't mean the fun has to stop as the boys are back with a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast to help you get through what's left of your Monday. In today’s episode, the guys covered glow golf, the Dansbury Trashers, and a whole lot more. To kick off the Monday podcast, the guys got started with a story about Jay's glow golf experience from this past weekend after a Real Life listener slid into his DMs to see if he'd be interested in entering a team. As you can imagine, golfing in the dark is a completely different animal from a normal round of golf and it was interesting to hear the guys give their takes on what it must be like to play in that environment. From there, the conversation changed gears and dove into the Netflix documentary Untold: Crime and Penalties that covered the Dansbury Trashers, and the boys couldn't contain their excitement about was undoubtedly an insane story. From the way the team was purchased to its unbelievable demise, the story of the Danbury

Another Thursday has landed on the calendar and that means the boys from the Real Life Podcast are back with a brand new episode of the show to help you get you through, and this week, they’re talking AirPods, Kool-Aid season in Oil Country, and a whole lot more. Kicking off this week's podcast, Baggedmilk and Tyler got the podcast going while the rest of the crew either bailed or had an impossible time trying to join the zoom call, making for a ridiculously disjointed open to the podcast. After finally making his way into the podcast, Jay explained why he's having an impossible time joining the zoom call and how that led him to buy a second pair of AirPods, potentially welching on a deal he made with Baggedmilk to sell him the old headphones if he found them. Are there shenanigans afoot? It looks that way. Getting into Oilers Kool-Aid season, the guys talked about some of the futures bets you can put down on the team right now, and whether or not they'd be willing to put their own money down on bets like McD

Another Thursday is upon us and that means the boys from the Real Life Podcast are back with a brand new episode of the show, and this week, they’re talking Donda, Netflix docs, and a whole lot more. The entire Real Life crew was back for the Thursday episode of the podcast, and the boys got started with a conversation about Yaremchuk's vacation and how he missed all of the Oilersnation Open recaps on both Real Life and Oilersnation Radio. Despite trying to talk golf, the guys turned the conversation towards Donda, the Kanye West album that everyone has been waiting for over the past couple of months and offered up a full breakdown on the 27-track banger. Moving over to the NFL, the guys discussed the situation going on with the New England Patriots after Cam Newton got cut in favour of Mac Jones, a surprising move for many football fans but not necessarily for anyone that's followed Bill Belichick for any length of time. Sticking with sports, the guys discussed an upcoming Netflix documentary that will break

The weekend may be over but the fun is far from over as the boys are back with a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast to help you get through a sunny Monday here in the capital city. In today’s episode, the guys covered the Oilersnation Open, Woz's missing toe, Dogpatch opening up, and a whole lot more. To kick things off, the podcast got started with a look at the Oilersnation Open that happened this past Thursday out at Cougar Creek Golf Resort. For the guys at Oilersnation, this golf tourney was the first time we were able to get together as a group in over 18 months, and the fun everyone had seemed long overdue. From the weather being perfect to the side bets that were happening on the course, everyone told their favourite stories from what was undoubtedly an amazing day for everyone involved. From there, the podcast took a hard left as Woz told the story of a dog biting off one of his toes and what that meant for him now that he's slightly off balance. Changing gears, the guys had a quick chat about th

The weekend may be over but the fun is far from over as the boys are back with a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast to help you get through a rainy Monday in Edmonton. In today’s episode, the guys covered the Malice at the Palace documentary on Netflix, the Oilersnation Open, and a whole lot more. To kick things off, the podcast got started with a look at what was unquestionably a horrible week for hockey after news broke this morning that NHLer Jimmy Hayes passed away in his home this morning. Looking around the hockey world, it was very clear that Hayes was a beloved player and it's heartbreaking to hear that such a young man passed away. Changing gears, the guys spoke about the Malice in the Palace documentary that hit Netflix last week and offered a full breakdown on what was unquestionably one of the wildest scenes in NBA history. From there, the conversation turned towards Thursday's Oilersnation Open and talked about the excitement they're all feeling for the first tournament they've been able to h

The calendar says it's Thursday and that means the boys from the Real Life Podcast are back with a brand new episode of the show, and this week, they’re talking badass dream jobs, future Wanye voicemail messages, and a whole lot more. To kick off the Thursday episode of Real Life, the guys got started with a conversation about jobs they think are badass after both Baggedmilk and Chalmers saw a fighter jet cruising around the west end. From there, the guys finally got to the Future Wanye voicemail messages after finding out that real Wanye wouldn't be on this week's show, leaving the three boys to try and figure out how the hell the mystery message nailed his impression. Seeing as this was the first time Tyler has played voicemails in a little while, the conversation turned to whether or not the podcast needs more static segments or if it's better to fly by the seat of our pants. Getting away from the structure almost immediately, the guys spent a few minutes recapping what's been going on in the Big Brother h

The weekend may be over but the good news is that the boys are back with a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast to help you get your week started and to make some sense of the world around us. In today’s episode, the guys looked at pickleball, movie theatres, Donda, and a whole lot more. Kicking off today's podcast, the guys jumped in with a chat about Thursday's interview with Andy Sutton and how the guys thought that that podcast deserved more love. Somehow, talking about Andy Sutton turned the conversation to Pickle Ball after Jay noticed that Glen Anderson was in Red Deer for a major tournament this past weekend. As you may have expected, just hearing the term pickleball was enough for the guys to challenge each other to a game with Jay and Chalmers hoping to even the playing field against Baggedmilk and Tyler. Changing gears, the guys got into what it would take to get them back into a movie theatre as most of the boys haven't gone to watch a movie since the pandemic started. Finally, the guys wrapped

The boys from the Real Life Podcast are back with a brand new episode of the show, and this week, they're welcoming a former Edmonton Oiler, Andy Sutton, into the mix to talk about his career and what he's up to in retirement.    Kicking things off, the podcast got started with a preview of Andy Sutton's NHL career and how he was such an imposing force on the ice when he played. First up, the guys asked Andy to walk through his come up to the NHL, and if you hadn't heard the story before, it was incredible to hear how his work ethic and mindset basically carried him to hockey's top league. From the way he broke into the league to the way he put his body to the test on a nightly basis, it was fascinating to listen to Sutton tell stories from his career with so much openness and passion. After his career wrapped up, Sutton knew he wanted to stick within the hockey space and that's what drove him to get into the gear game. Driven by his passion for the sport, customer service, and product innovation, Sutton is n

The weekend may be over but the fun is far from over as the boys are back with a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast to help get your week started and to make sense of the world around us. In today’s episode, the guys covered Jay's trip to Nashville, and a whole lot more. Kicking off today's podcast, the guys got started with a recap of Jay's trip to Nashville and what it means for the Nation Network moving forward. From high-level meetings with a powerful mentor to the food tour he powered through and what it potentially means for citizens that will be joining us on an upcoming Nation Vacation. From there, the conversation turned towards the Oilersnation Open and how excited everyone is to get together and hit the links at Cougar Creek for the first tourney in two years. Lastly, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of the podcast with a discussion about Dogpatch that is set to open up soon, so the guys walked through the history of Nation HQ offices they've worked at before eventually landing in their n

The long weekend may be behind us but the fun is far from over as the boys are back with a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast to help get your week started and to make sense of the world around us. In today’s episode, the guys covered everything Tyler missed on his vacation, Oilers talk, and a whole lot more. To kick off this week's episode, the guys got started with a look at everything Tyler missed while he was on vacation, including making him listen to plenty of praise for his temporary replacement. With plenty of Oilers news that happened while he was away, Tyler was anxious to break down the Oilers roster and take a few swings about what's still to come before the 2021-22 season begins. Somehow, the Oilers talk led Jay and Wanye to talk about the time they went to Dubai and went skiing inside of a shopping mall. Did you read that right? Yes. From there, the podcast fell off the rails a little bit as the guys covered a range of topics from golf, to the Oilersnation Open, to a little bit of Big Broth
