Nation Real Life

Thursday afternoon means the boys are back with a fresh episode of the Real Podcast, and after a big Oilers win, there were countless topics for the boys to cover.Kicking off the Thursday episode of Real Life, the guys started with a breakdown of Tuesday's win against the Nashville Predators. From Leon's dominance to Connor McDavid's ridiculous spin goal, the Oilers gave us their best effort of the season, and the results were exactly what we all needed after opening the year with two straight losses. Somehow, talking about the Oilers beating the snot out of the Predators led Chalmers to keep it 100 about how planning your life changes significantly after you have kids. So, when it comes to Halloween, it's hard for parents to hit up parties when they have to figure out what's happening with their kids first. The guys then discussed what is the best candy to give out on Halloween and whether the Chalmers family should give out pops or full-sized chocolate bars. Thankfully, the boys were able to help diffuse th

Given the hype surrounding the Edmonton Oilers in the weeks leading up to the season, it's no surprise that Nation Citizens everywhere feel salty after how things have gone so far. On the Monday episode of Real Life, the guys dig into what the hell is going on with this team, what comes next, and how they can rebound from here. Kicking off the Monday episode of Real Life, the guys got going with a look at the Oilers' 0-2 start to the season and how this was not how we expected things to go. Despite trying to find some silver linings, the reality is that it's nearly impossible to feel good about two avoidable losses. Talking about the Oilers led Tyler to tell a story from Saturday night and how an angry fan behind him almost kicked off a fight in the stands. Chalmers then talked about the Wu-Tang concert from Friday night and how it was a spectacular performance by the group even though they're older guys now. Despite being worried about the mix and guys yelling over each other, Wu-Tang and Nas put on a f

It's Thursday afternoon, the Oilers got dummied on opening night, and that meant there was plenty to talk about on the newest episode of the Real Life Podcast.Kicking off the Thursday episode of Real Life, the guys started off with a look at last night's disastrous affair in Vancouver. Needless to say, dropping the first game by a touchdown is the last thing any of us expected to happen given how hyped everyone was to get going. Changing gears, Jay told a story from last night's season launch party where a random person approached him to say that Mattias Ekholm needed hip surgery. Despite not being real, this news kept Jay awake as he scoured Twitter for any news confirming or denying it. From there, the podcast fell off the rails as you'd expect from Real Life as the guys wandered in and out of a handful of topics. From Big Brother to gas station shenanigans to betting strategies for Saturday, this was one of the spiciest episodes of Real Life that the boys have recorded in quite some time. Hosted on Acast.

It's Thursday afternoon and the pre-season is almost over, which means there was plenty to talk about on the newest episode of the Real Life Podcast. With the NHL regular season less than a week away, you'd think that the boys would spend the hour talking about the Oilers but everyone who has listened for any length of time knows that's nearly impossible. Kicking off the podcast, the boys got started with yet another discussion about the studios not being finished yet even though the guys keep saying the podcast will be moving over to Studio B. Needless to say, the HQ construction projects never seem to be finished. With that out of the way, the guys tried to break down what the hell happened with the Toronto Blue Jays after another disastrous postseason run ended in two games with only one run being scored over 18 innings. Thankfully, the Jays' demise led to Chalmers workshopping a Buck Martinez impression that sounds like nothing like the real person at all. We don't know why he's working on impression

It's Thursday afternoon and the pre-season is well underway, which means there was plenty to talk about on the newest episode of the Real Life Podcast.Kicking off the podcast, the boys got started with a Chalmers rant about Mark Stone's post-game interview after he got absolutely levelled by a Kings minor-leaguer during last night's pre-season game. For Chalmers, the reaction was simply too much to bear and that led to unloading on the Vegas captain for a few minutes much to Baggedmilk's delight. After walking into the studio late, Wanye told a story about Wanye Jr. locking him out of the car while eating gummy worms the entire time. While some folks may think this story nothing more than a cute child moment, Baggedmilk believes this was a plan Wanye Jr. has been working on for quite some time. Changing gears, the guys spent some time on the Oilers' pre-season after the team pulled out an OT win last night against the Vancouver Canucks. Despite the win, the funny part about the pre-season is that no one reall

It's Monday afternoon and the pre-season is underway, which means there was plenty to talk about on the newest episode of the Real Life Podcast.With Usher announced as the halftime performer at the Super Bowl, the guys kicked off the podcast with an argument about whether or not this was the right choice. Sticking with the NFL, the guys dove into the Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift relationship and how there were a couple of guys on the podcast that don't think this is real. While Baggedmilk and Jay think the couple is legit, Wanye and Chalmers most certainly do not. Changing gears, the guys then had an extended discussion about betting and specifically why so many of us enjoy dropping a few dollars in a slot machine even though they aren't exactly the best way to make some money.Turning the podcast toward the Oilers, the guys broke down the start of the pre-season a little bit before they all ended up complaining about Edmonton putting their pre-season games behind a paywall when no one else is doing that. Tal

Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast is on deck, edited, and ready for you earholes. On today's show, the guys talked a little bit about the Oilers, got vacation recaps from Tyler and Baggedmilk, and welcomed Max Kerman from Arkells to talk about their new album.Kicking off the Thursday episode of the Real Life Podcast, the guys got started with Max Kerman from the Arkells jumping on the podcast to talk about their new album 'Laundry Pile,' how the album came together, life on the road, and whether or not his job ever gets in the way of his love of sports. As you'll hear, Max was not only generous with his time but the answers he gave were incredibly thoughtful and fun. Needless to say, the guys were pretty damned excited to have a rockstar on the podcast and have him seem like he was having a good time. With our rockstar moment out of the way, the boys turned the show back to the Oilers to spend a few minutes talking about training camp and which players specifically have the mos

Tyler and Baggedmilk are still MIA, so Producer Aaron is back trying to keep the podcast on the rails.

It's the Thursday after the long weekend, which was the first time the guys were able to talk about the Oilersnation Open, the start of the NFL season, and everything else that was missed over the last week.Kicking off the Thursday episode of the Real Life Podcast, the guys got started with a recap of Friday's Oilersnation Open at Millwoods Golf Club and how it was another amazing day. From interacting with Nation Citizens to sponsors coming through to side bets on the course, Oilersnation's annual golf tourney is always a great time and an event you'll want to be a part of next year. With the tournament recap out of the way, Chalmers shifted the podcast with a couple of fight reviews after some mayhem broke out over the weekend and needed a full breakdown. Finally, after waiting so patiently for the first half of the podcast, Chalmers was finally able to express his excitement for the start of the NFL season. With the regular season kicking off tonight between the Chiefs and Lions, the guys workshopped a few

It's the Thursday before the launch of Sports 1440, which was the perfect time for Jason Gregor to stop by and talk about the deal and what to expect from this new endeavour.Kicking off the Thursday episode of the Real Life Podcast, the guys got started by welcoming Jason Gregor back to the podcast for the time in nearly 400 episodes to talk about Sports 1440 and how excited is he for everyone to hear what's coming. From the behind-the-scenes work that it took to bring this vision to life to putting the finishing touches on what's happening next week, moving from 1260 into this brand-new project has been a hugely rewarding challenge. Gregor also offered his perspective on why he's excited to get back on the air after hearing from so many people about how big of a hole 1260 going down has left in their lives. Changing gears, the conversation turned toward the Oilersnation Open and how this tournament is always one of the best days of the summer as Nation Citizens will be flooding the Millwoods Golf Club to rai

It's Monday afternoon and rather than the usual mindless nonsense, the boys welcomed Sam Gagner back to the podcast for tKicking off the podcast, the guys got started with a surprise interview with Sam Gagner that none of the guys expected because Tyler lined it up sneakily behind the scenes. Blinded by the excitement of talking to Gagner again, the guys tried to prep as best they could before jumping onto the Zoom call to talk to the now three-time Oiler. From talking about how this PTO came together to his recovery from double hip surgery to the veterans that helped him become the player he is today, the guys covered a lot of ground in this short interview. Needless to say, everyone was extremely excited to have Gagner back on the podcast and even more excited to talk about his third time back with the Oilers. Lastly, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a collection of random topics that included a Big Brother recap, Jay's night out in the woods, and anything else they could think

It's Thursday afternoon and the boys have nothing going on, which means there was plenty to talk about on the newest episode of the Real Life Podcast.Kicking off the podcast, the guys jumped in with an extending chat about the #NationVacation to Seattle and how the guys don't believe Chalmers when he says he's coming. While he says he wants to head to Seattle with the boys, the likelihood of him actually getting on that airplane is a completely different story. Getting back to the Oilers, the guys dove into the Evan Bouchard contract news that came down yesterday, and whether or not it was a good enough deal from the team's side given that the player didn't have much leverage in terms of the negotiation. The guys also discussed the Auston Matthews contract extension that came down yesterday, and how that may affect McDavid and Draisaitl's upcoming deals. Does having Matthews come in at $13.25 mean Draisaitl and McDavid have to clear that by a substantial margin? Lastly, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episod

It's Monday afternoon and the boys have nothing going on, which means there was plenty to talk about on the newest episode of the Real Life Podcast.Kicking off the podcast, the guys jumped in with another round of podcast studio upgrades and specifically how the podcasts look on camera. As you'll hear, the work on the studios is far from done but what's been done so far has been fantastic. From there, the podcast fell off the rails as the guys couldn't seem to focus on anything for longer than a few minutes. Whether it was plugging the #NationVacation to Seattle or cooking fish in a hotel room sink, the boys struggled to maintain any one topic. What did seem to grab everyone's attention, however, was when Tyler taught the group against Bunnock, a game that consists of throwing horse ankles. That's right, horse ankles. From there, Chalmers walked through Untold: Hall of Shame, the latest installment of the Netflix docu-series that dives into the darker side of sports. Lastly, the guys wrapped up the

After taking Monday off, the guys are back with a fresh episode of The Real Life Podcast. The first part of the podcast was just Tyler and Wanye because the rest of the crew forgot what time they were supposed to start recording at. Tyler and Wanye talked about the Elks firing of Victor Cui and some other nonsense before Jay eventually showed up to the studio. They talked about the launch of the first Nation Vacation for the 2023-24 season in Seattle. It's going to be a banger of a trip that includes both hockey and football games. The crew was also recording from a newly renovated studio, which Jay quickly ripped apart. Baggedmilk finally pulled up towards the end of the podcast and gave some takes on the newest season of Big Brother. The crew also talked about a few Oilers topics like Jeff Jackson, Steve Staois, and the chances of McDavid buying the Elks. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's Thursday afternoon and the boys have nothing going on, which means there was plenty to talk about on the newest episode of the Real Life Podcast.Kicking off the podcast, the guys jumped in with a quick story about why today's episode of the podcast was recorded an hour early. What the guys didn't know before moving the pod was that the reason Jay wanted to start early was that he had a tarp run to do for Folkfest. That led Chalmers to talk about the Pigeon Lake Music Festival from last weekend and how it was a great time despite the way the booze was being dolled out. Somehow, talking about music led the boys to talk about varying scraps that kicked off online over the last week or so. Whether it was Jose Ramirez vs. Tim Anderson or the Alabama Riverboat Fight, it seems as though we're having a hard time getting together in groups here in 2023. Speaking of fights, the guys then dove into the argument that Jay kicked off on social media the other day when he compared Evan Bouchard to Justin Schultz. While

It's Thursday afternoon and the boys have nothing going on, which means there was plenty to talk about on the newest episode of the Real Life Podcast.Kicking off the podcast, the guys jumped in with a random conversation about alcohol after Baggedmilk told a quick story about having a wonderful bottle of wine over dinner last night. That led the guys to talk about their favourite house beers, their approach to drinking fancy beers, and a whole lot more. Somehow talking about beers and wine led Tyler to talk about fighting with his utilities company to get the best possible deal he can. The guys then wanted to brag about the times they worked themselves a deal. Changing gears, it's Oodle Noodle Make a Wish night at the Riverhawks game and that means another opportunity for Jay to hit another home run at RE/MAX Field. Getting back to the Oilers, the guys spent a few minutes talking about Ryan McLeod's new two-year contract and took a few guesses at what the Oilers will do with the Evan Bouchard contract. They a

For the first time in a handful of weeks, the whole gang is back together and that meant there was plenty of room for shenanigans on the Monday episode of the Real Life Podcast.Kicking off the Monday podcast, the boys got started with Tyler coming back from vacation and a conversation about how the studio only seems to work when he's in the building. From there, Tyler walked the guys through his road trip to Seattle and all of the golf he played in between. Jay was also back from his vacation to Toffino and what we learned about both trips is that the guys attract both Nation Citizens and bears no matter where they are. Somehow talking about Tyler's vacation led to Jay revealing that bananas are supposedly bad luck on fishing boats. Changing gears entirely, Chalmers finally wrapped up the Quarterback docuseries that's up on Netflix, leading the group to gush about how good sports documentaries are getting these days. Discussing sports docs led the guys to talk about how hockey needs to do a better job of
