Nation Real Life

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.

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.

It wouldn't be a Monday afternoon without a fresh episode of Real Life to massage your earholes and help you get into the rest of the work week.The skeleton crew kicked off the Monday episode by complaining about the co-hosts not being in attendance for the podcast. If there's one thing the boys are good at, it's piling on their teammates when they're not there to defend themselves. Getting back to business, however, the conversation turned to Friday's win over the Pittsburgh Penguins and how it was a big night on the ice and after the game. After the game on Friday, the Oilers added Craig MacTavish and Randy Gregg's names to the Ring of Honour, which led to a conversation about some of our favourite memories of those two players. Wanye then told a story about writing a letter to Dr. Gregg when he was a kid, and how the former Cup winner actually took the time to write him back and how meaningful that letter was to a young hockey fan. Changing gears, the podcast discussed a wide range of t

That led the guys to talk about Chalmers' sleeping habits and how he often turns to Candy Crush to help lull him to sleep. Talking about sleep led the fellas to discuss their night routine, including another discussion about duvets and pillow selection.From there, the podcast really fell off the rails. Not only were the guys unable to stick to one topic for more than a few seconds, but they also fell into more than a few rabbit holes all over the map.

While it's true that Stu is fighting it right now, there are also a handful of his teammates who are in the same boat.Changing gears, we looked ahead at the Nation Vacation and how Jay is getting the Cleveland quarterback

Yet, even with the chance to grab leftovers for himself, Chalmers' laziness outweighed his love of food.Turning the show back to the Oilers, Tyler talked about his birthday game and how stressful it was when he thought he would have to eat cat food again. Not only did he think he would have to eat cat food after the Oilers fell behind by a pair of goals, but his cat food concerns even prevented him from enjoying the first part of the comeback.Sticking with Tyler's birthday, he showed up to Nation HQ in a new Cleveland Guardians jersey, and

Oilers futures, NFL football talk, and the #NationVacation to DenverThe guys started the Monday episode of Real Life with a conversation about concession prices after the Utah Hockey Club released the prices for the upcoming season.
