Nation Real Life

Game one of the Oilers' Stanley Cup run is in the books and, needless to say, it did not go the way we wanted which had the boys on the Real Life podcast fired up and ready to break it all down. On today's podcast, the guys looked at what went wrong in game one, what needs to change ahead of Friday's rematch, and welcomed Scott Hastings from OddsShark to break down the latest NHL news and what’s going on in the world of sports gambling. Kicking things off, the guys got started with a recap from last night's hockey game and expressed their frustrations and disappointment with the way the series started. From a slow start to a couple of tough bounces against, the Oilers didn't look horrible by any means but it goes without saying that they need to pick things up ahead of game two. Changing gears, the guys started talking about Drake showing up at the Lakers games last night, which was another excuse to bring up the old story of when Jay got caught cheering for the Calgary Flames. Getting the show back on track,

With only a couple of days ahead of the playoffs getting started against the Jets, the boys are back with a brand new episode of the Real Life Podcast to help get everyone set for the postseason. This week, the guys covered their regular season predictions, cat blogs, the playoffs, and a whole lot more. To kick off today’s podcast, the guys jumped in with a story of cat blogging as Wanye told the tale (PUN!) of a former business he and Baggedmilk were running and how it crashed spectacularly. Somehow the conversation about cats turned into a passionate chat about hip hop where Tyler revealed that he is one of the biggest DaBaby fans on Spotify. Steering the podcast back towards hockey, the guys spent a few minutes talking about the first handful of games that have happened since Saturday and how it looked like so much fun for the lucky fans that were able to attend. The guys also looked back at all of the predictions they made before the season got going and the results were about as ridiculous as you could e

Another Thursday is upon us and that means a brand new episode of the Real Life Podcast is here and ready to get you set for the weekend. On today’s show, the guys looked at betting on the first round, Connor McDavid's brilliance, and welcomed Scott Hastings from OddsShark to break down the latest NHL news and what’s going on in the world of sports gambling. Kicking off this week's podcast, the guys got started with a longwinded conversation about Stanley Cup betting and where everyone is putting their money as the Oilers get set for their first-round series against the Winnipeg Jets. Are we betting on RNH to get over 3.5 points? Tyson Barrie over four points? Stick with the Oilers, the boys spent a few minutes talking about McDavid's brilliance over the last month or so and how he seems absolutely unstoppable at this point. Sticking with the playoffs, the guys looked at what is sure to be a wild year in the NHL playoffs as some Canadian teams will have to make their way south for the later rounds. Needless t

After what was undoubtedly a tension-filled episode on Thursday, the boys are back with a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast recorded to help make sense of the world around us. This week, the guys covered McDavid hitting the century mark, Elon Musk on SNL, and a whole lot more. To kick off today's podcast, the guys jumped in with a look at Connor McDavid hitting the McCentury mark on Saturday night against the Canucks and what it's been like to watch him get there. Needless to say, what McDavid is doing right now is so incredibly special to watch and it was a lot of fun to hear the boys break down his remarkable season. They also discussed this last week of games and whether or not there's anything left to cheer for as we await the start of the 2021 NHL playoffs. Changing gears, the guys looked at Elon Musk hosting Saturday Night Live this past week and whether or not it was as big of a deal as some folks made it out to believe. For Baggedmilk and Wanye, both guys thought that Musk did a good job consider

Another Thursday is upon us and that means a brand new episode of the Real Life Podcast is here and ready to get you set for the weekend. On today’s show, the guys looked at the Tom Wilson situation in Washington, the NHL Department of Player Safety, and a whole lot more. Kicking things off, the boys jumped into the episode with some more food talk which seems to be a running theme with the podcast lately. From a new Oodle Noodle location to maraschino cherries, the food takes were flowing in the first few minutes. Back to hockey, the guys got into the shenanigans that happened between the Rangers/Capitals last night after the NHL Department of Player Safety refused to suspend Tom Wilson for what happened the night before. Surprisingly, the boys were split on the events from the Rangers/Capitals game and how the NHL handled the situation, and as you'll hear, the argument caused some tension amongst the boys. Trying to get things back on the rails, the guys started to talk about the Oilers as a means of easing

A new week and month are here and that means the boys are back with a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast recorded to help make sense of the world around us. This week, the guys covered food preferences, Fabio getting hit by a goose, Clinchmas, and a whole lot more. Kicking off the Monday episode of Real Life, the boys got started with a look at their food choices after Jay broke the news that Oodle Noodle would soon be offering banana spring rolls. That prompted the boys to talk about their food preferences, including some childhood snacks that had absolutely no nutritional value. Somehow the food talk inspired a conversation about Fabio getting hit in the face with a goose back in the day, and that accident kicked off a 15-minute segment of needless bird talk. Getting back to the Oilers, the guys previewed tonight's matchup against the Canucks since Edmonton could officially clinch a playoff spot provided that they get at least one point. With the playoffs this close to happening again, the guys got into

Another Thursday is upon us and that means a brand new episode of the Real Life Podcast is here and ready to get you set for the weekend. On today’s show, the guys looked at the Oilers' run over the Jets, Tim Tebow's attempt to make an NFL comeback, and welcomed Scott Hastings from OddsShark to break down the latest NHL news and what’s going on in the world of sports gambling. Kicking off the podcast, the boys jumped in with a quick look at the Edmonton Oilers, specifically the way Ryan Nugent-Hopkins has come back from injury looking more like himself than we've seen all season. That conversation was quickly derailed, however, after Yaremchuk disclosed that he drinks anywhere from five-eight bottles of water per day but refused to talk about the dehydration tactics that surely follow such levels of consumption. From there, the guys got sidetracked with a chat about outdoor projectors as people continue coming up with different ways to get together under the current COVID restrictions. The guys did try to get

A new week is here and that means the boys are back with a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast recorded to help make sense of the world around us. This week, the guys covered Tyler's donair feedback, a potential new segment, NHL documentaries, and a whole lot more. Kicking off the Monday episode of Real Life, the boys got started with a look at the passionate feedback that came in from Tyler's first donair, specifically how he was getting bombarded with hatred over the way he held it and the toppings that were included. Amazingly, donairs weren't the only common food that Tyler hasn't eaten before and may have spawned a new segment where the boys get him to try new foods and activities. Next up, the guys looked at the UFC's weekend after two gruesome injuries came out in back-to-back fights and another round of discussion came up that the fighters are poorly paid. Back to hockey, the guys decided to brainstorm some ideas for potential documentaries that the National Hockey League could look at doing now th

Another Thursday has rolled around on the calendar and that means a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast is here and ready to get you set for the weekend. On today’s show, the guys looked at Yaremchuk's first donair, the Oilers' series against the Canadiens, and welcomed Scott Hastings from OddsShark to break down the latest NHL news and what’s going on in the world of sports gambling. Kicking off the podcast, the boys jumped in with a look at Tyler Yaremchuk's donair virginity after it was revealed on the radio this morning that he had never eaten a donair before. Shocked by this blasphemy, Jay took it upon himself to have one sent to Tyler's apartment so that he could have his first-ever donair on the show. Changing gears, Jay and Chalmers told the story of how they both got their first dose of the AZ vaccine this past week and how happy they were to finally get the process started after what has seemed like a long wait. Getting back to the Oilers the guys broke down the two-game series against the Canadi

Welcome to a brand new episode of the Real Life Podcast! On today’s podcast, the guys covered Saturday's huge win, Tyson Barrie's next contract, crib, and a whole lot more. To start off the Monday episode of Real Life, the boys got going with a recap of Saturday's dominant win over the Winnipeg Jets and whether or not that changed anyone's feelings regarding a potential playoff matchup. For everyone on the podcast, that win was one of the most complete outings we've seen all year and the boys worked through why it is that the Oilers seem to own Jets so far this season. From there, the guys discussed Ryan McLeod being recalled from the Bakersfield Condors yesterday and where he may slot into the lineup when given the chance. The guys also spoke about the reactions on both sides of the spectrum when it comes to re-signing Tyson Barrie as he seems to be a very divisive player on the Edmonton Oilers blueline. Changing gears the guys got into the weeds about the game Crib and whether or not there is more to the ga

We’re winding down the work week and that means a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast is here and ready to get you set for the weekend. On today’s show, the guys looked at tomorrow's postponement, a hypothetical Yaremchuk scenario, and welcomed Iain MacMillan from OddsShark to break down the latest NHL news and what’s going on in the world of sports gambling. Kicking off the podcast, the boys jumped into the show by dissecting the news that the Oilers vs Canucks game for Friday night has been postponed. Unfortunately, the Canucks weren't exactly put in a great spot with their reshuffled schedule and the NHL and PA decided that there wasn't enough time to get fully prepared to play. From there, the guys got into a hypothetical about whether or not they would prefer the Oilers to get a Game 7 or a 5-on-3 powerplay for the win? Needless to say, this question caused a much bigger argument than anyone probably expected, and it didn't get any better when Jason Strudwick joined the show and chimed in with his tak

Today was trade deadline day in the NHL and we have a brand new episode of The Real Life Podcast to give you our take on how things shook down in Edmonton and around the NHL! Ken Holland didn't get a lot done and didn't make a move for Taylor Hall. Those two things have a lot of people fired up around Oilersnation and for the most part, we think there might be some overreaction to what transpired today. We went through it all in episode 272! Aside from the trade talk, we also talked about how the Oilers roster stacks up heading into the playoffs, got into a brief recap of The Masters, and got some stories about Yaremchuk's days as a little league baseball umpire.

We're on the back half of the workweek and that means a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast is here and ready to get you to the weekend. On today’s show, the guys looked at the NHL trade deadline, Connor and Leon's dominance over the Sens, and welcomed Scott Hastings from OddsShark to break down the latest NHL news and what’s going on in the world of sports gambling. To kick things off, the boys jumped in with a look at Oodle Noodle radio ads and specifically some of the ideas that Wanye will try to work with for the next round of commercials. Getting back to the Oilers, the boys discussed some of the rumours that are circulating around the team and whether or not the team will be able to get anything done. The guys also spent some time on Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl putting on a clinic against the Senators, and reiterated just how lucky we all are to watch them on a nightly basis. Finally, the guys wrapped up today’s podcast by welcoming Scott Hastings from OddsShark to help break down the latest be

Welcome to another episode of The Real Life Podcast! Today on the show, the guys were joined by a handful of guests starting with a trio of students from NAIT who talked about a new initiative that could be coming to Edmonton soon! They also talked about a stadium full of fans in Texas right now before getting into a conversation that Yaremchuk had with three-time Olympic medalist Meaghan Mikkelson!   To kick things off, https://www.seasonticket.ca/, Niki, Katherine, and Real joined the podcast to talk about the business idea that won them a contest at NAIT. It's a unique idea that could help more Oilers fans get into Rogers Place once it is safe to do so. From there, they got into some talk about the Blue Jays vs Rangers game and how the stadium is packed with fans. To wrap up this week's episode, Yaremchuk talked to Meaghan Mikkelson about her new gig with Sportsnet, the state and future of the professional women's game, and how the Oilers have been playing recently! Enjoy the episode! See acast.com/privacy

Another week is winding down and that means a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast is here and ready to get you to the weekend. On today’s show, the guys looked at the struggles of moving, fight tips, and welcomed Scott Hastings from OddsShark to break down the latest NHL news and what’s going on in the world of sports gambling. To kick things off, the boys got started with a discussion about everyone on the podcast seemingly getting ready to move or currently moving. As it turns out, basically everyone on the podcast is either moving or getting set to move and it all came out in a series of nonsensical stories that made no sense at all. Somehow, that conversation turned into everyone's favourite prison tips and practical ways to win a fistfight. Finally getting around to the Oilers, the boys started to complain about the way the last game went against Montreal before the chat was immediately derailed by Tinder talk. Finally, the guys wrapped up today’s podcast by welcoming Scott Hastings from OddsShark to

It’s a windy Monday afternoon here in Edmonton but your day is about to get a whole lot better now that we have a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast recorded and ready to help you get through the week. On today’s show, the guys covered the Oilers’ collapse against the Leafs, playoff matchups, and a whole lot more. To start off the Monday episode of Real Life, the boys got derailed right off the jump after the Oodle Noodle ad read turned into a conversation about the boys' approach to menus and restaurants. From ordering the same thing over and over again to comparing the quality of cold beers, the opening of the Monday episode of Real Life was the exact opposite of what Yaremchuk had planned on. Getting back to hockey, Tyler noticed that Jay was dancing around using the term 'playoffs' so that prompted a conversation about what the Oilers need to do to actually clinch a spot. Speaking of playoffs, the guys also had a conversation about whether there is any specific opponent they'd like the Oilers to face

Welcome to a brand new episode of the Real Life Podcast! Today's show had a heavy business theme as Tyler, Jay and Wanye were joined by Chris LaBossiere, who is The Nation Networks' newest partner. Chris talked about his life as an entrepreneur, his come-up, and his passion for Edmonton. Yaremchuk also asked him about his impressive collection of Canadian Tire money!   Wanye let Chris know about his dream of launching 'Nation Limo 2.0' and also recalled the time where he applied to be an intern for one of Chris's companies and was denied. It's an exciting new chapter for Oilersnation and The Nation Network, so of course we had to break it all down today on the podcast! We were also joined by our friend Scott Hastings from Oddsshark who gave us some March Madness betting advice and his usual Thursday Night Parlay!

It’s a brisk Monday afternoon here in Edmonton but your day is about to get a whole lot better now that there’s a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast in the books to help you get through the week. On today’s show, the guys covered the Oilers' current winning streak, previewed the upcoming week against the Habs, and a whole lot more. To start off the Monday episode of Real Life, the boys jumped in with a look at the last week for the Edmonton Oilers and how they've been finding different ways to win hockey games. Whether it was a blowout game as we saw against the Flames or a defensive lockdown effort as we saw against the Jets, the Oilers have really turned their season around after starting the year with a 3-6 record. From there, the boys played Would You Rather with Tyler after listeners submitted some of the strangest possible 'this or that' style of questions they could possibly come up with. Lastly, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a brand new listener profile from what certain

Another week is set to wrap and that means a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast is here and ready to get you to the weekend. On today’s show, the guys looked at broadcasting homers, spoke to Jason Strudwick about the Oilers’ win over the Flames and what to expect from the Jets, and welcomed Scott Hastings from OddsShark to break down the latest NHL news and what’s going on in the world of sports gambling. To kick things off, the boys jumped in with a recap of last night's win against the Calgary Flames and how the boys got themselves dialled in for a game they really needed to win. They also discussed the Flames broadcast crew and how some Oilers were upset about how 'homer' they were during the game. Are they more biased than Jack and Louie? It's a fair question. Next up, the boys welcomed Jason Strudwick to the podcast to discuss the last week in Oilers land, the defence, and what to expect from tonight's battle against the Jets. From there, the guys derailed the show once again and forced Tyler to talk

It’s a lovely Monday afternoon in the capital city and your day is about to get better now that there’s a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast ready to help you get through the week. On today’s show, the guys covered Yaremchuk's hero status, the Oilers' to-do list, betting, and a whole lot more. To start off the Monday episode of Real Life, the boys jumped in with a quick update about Tyler being a hero and how things are looking at his in-law's house after last week's flood. As it turns out, the damage may have been more serious than initially expected, which prompted another round of jokes about whether or not Yaremchuk can truly carry the hero title. From there, the conversation turned to the Buffalo Sabres who have been absolutely terrible this season and whether or not we're allowed to make fun of them right now. Back to the Oilers, the guys walked through Josh Park's photoshop from this morning about a potential Oilers to-do list for the upcoming months/offseason, but as you would expect, the guys cou
