Probably, but Tyler's annoyance did lead to another round of talking about the Coldplay concert incident.Changing gears, Tyler then spoke about the putting green he built over the weekend, and how wedding guests will use it to earn more drink tickets. With drinks only $2 each, the idea of doubling your number of drink tickets seems unnecessary, but that doesn't mean everyone won't still have a good time anyway. Sti

That led the guys to wonder if there is anything in their lives they love so much that could turn into an unreasonable obsession. As you'll hear, everyone on the podcast is pretty boring apart from Wanye trying to adopt an all-day coffee routine that he heard a billionaire does daily.From there, Eli talked about his time on

After finding a Lonely Island podcast where they discuss their best digital shorts of all time, the guys wondered how long it will be before the sporting world follows suit. The point being that there is a real void in the sports space, and the opportunit

Somehow, talking about Tyler's wedding led Wanye and Baggedmilk down the rabbit hole of bopping around Thailand and how alcohol is basically free compared to the prices we're used to paying.Changing gears, the guys looked at the viral Coldplay moment that took over the Internet this week, and how cheating on your missus in a public forum like that isn't the brightest idea. Seeing as the video of the couple's forbidden caress is all over the web, the guys came up with some ideas on how you can spend time with your mistress without getting caught. Of course, all of these

Will the construction be done by the end of summer? Unlikely. Changing topics, the guys discussed some of the changes the Oilers have made over the last week, including the trade for Isaac Howard and the swapping out of a handful of coaches. Starting with the Ice Man, the guys wanted to know how excited everyone is allowed to get about a hotshot prospect who has yet to play even a shift of NHL hockey. Despite winning the

The boys kicked off their week with a jam packed episode of The Real Life Podcast as they sat down to talk about a wide range of topics, starting with the busy weekend that Jay, Chalmers and Tyler had. The trio spent all day together on Saturday golfing and putting back cold ones and it resulted in some great stories and the three of them still feeling the effects almost 48 hours later.That led to some more talk about Tyler’s hole in one challenge and the likelihood of him accomplishing the feat. They then brought in Eli who accomplished a big feat of his own this past week. He successfully completed the 9 beers and 9 hot dogs in 9 innings challenge at a Riverhawks game and lived to tell the tale. He talked about how much of a grind it was and how he felt in the hours afterwards.From there, Chalmers told the story about his week with his new found family from overseas. The guys also put together their list of the top ten things to do in the city of Edmonton, and put out a call for some sug

On today's podcast, the guys discussed the NHL Draft, Tyler's cat conundrum, Oilers rumours, and more.The guys started the podcast with a conversation about the strange NHL Draft that happened on Friday without the teams being in attendance, while the rest of the players and media were still there. Not only was the first round incredibly boring and awkward, but the fact that the two days weren't any faster than normal was truly disappointing. Next up, the guys discussed the new CFL collaboration with OVO and how partnering with Drake is a great way to create some buzz in a league that desperately needs attention. The OVO/CFL collaboration allowed Tyler and Bagged Milk to discuss their price limit for buying clothes. When OVO collaborated with the NHL, the cost of hoodies was astronomical, which suggests the same will likely be true for this new CFL merchandise. The next topic wa

Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you get through what's left of your workweek.

From some fun meetings with the crew at La Poche Bleue to hearing NHL stories from Max Lapierre to sweating through multiple shirts on a daily basis, it was a quick trip to To

It was all Chalmers and Tyler hour today on The Real Life Podcast as the rest of the podcast crew was off doing stuff in their real lives. The guys actually got to do a lot of interesting stuff in their hour together, beginning with a weird meeting that the two of them had in the street over the weekend. That also got them onto the topic of Tyler’s new rollerblading habit.They did then get into some good hockey talk as Chalmers wanted to give his thoughts on the Florida Panthers Stanley Cup celebration and whether or not they’ve crossed the line with some of the things that have been said at their parties. Tyler talked about how this type of behaviour could have been expected from a team winning their first Stanley Cup. They also talked about the nauseating rumours that continue to float around regarding Connor McDavid’s future in Edmonton.They wrapped up by going to some other spots in the sports world, like Game 7 of the NBA Finals, and ranked the “championship moments” in each of the four major North Ameri

As much as it's painful to admit, the Panthers were the better team throughout the series, and it wasn't exactly surprising to see Florida lock down a second straight Cup win. They also discussed the Connor McDavid press conference, and how there are so many people overthinking his comments that he wants to do what's best for his family.Changing gears, Wanye wanted to know if travelling back to Florida for the second straight SCF gave the boys some appreciation for the travel schedule pro athletes have to deal with. While there's no doubt that travelling on a p

The hat has now paved its own path in life and perhaps will find its way to a new oilers fan who will give it a lovely new home. RIP. Moving along, the boys discussed their 5 day adventure in Florida. We're still unsure if they did more swimming in the pool or actual work. However, The trip was great and the Oilers managed to come through in game 4 and even up the series 2-2.Back in Edmonton for game 5 and we watched a result that we were definitely not looking for. If there's one thing we have learned from watching the Oilers over the past 2 cup runs is that they love a dramatic finish, wh

They also touched on Liam's donair review after catching on Game 4, and how it was on one of the worst donairs he's ever had, but still ranks it as one of his favourites given the moment. Next up, we walked thro

As much as everyone is excited about the Oilers' chances to get through to the final, no one is willing to disrespect the Stars, nor believe Dallas is going to be an easy out. As Leon Draisaitl after Game 4, closing this team out will take the team's best effort. Changing gears, we looked at the Oilers' superfans who constantly hit the streets during the playoffs, and how much fun it is to see everyone dress up and get involved. From Banjo Guy's incredible costumes to Mama Stanley always being in the Moss Pit to McMullet driving in from Strathmore for every home game, the commi

After changing his flights to get in a night early, Justin soaked up as much of Edmonton as he could with only a h

As you'll hear, Jay has a flight to London less than four hours after puck drop and hearing him work through the time math was fascinating. Needless to say, the turnaround from game to airport is incredibly tight, and it will be a wild ride to follow through Sunday afternoon.From there, the guys worked out a few ideas on how Tyler can monetize his wedding. Starting with the vows being sponsored by Oodle Noodle. While Tyler tried to push the narrative that there won't be any vows at his wedding, that didn't stop the boys from pitching different angles on getting the midnig

Clearly, there's money to be made, but is that angle the right one?Turning back to the Oilers, the team walked through the series-clinching win in Game 5, discussing how it was an incredible victory given how tight the game ultimately shook out. The most impressive part of that win was how the Oilers were able to suppress the Golden Knights offensively, leaving them with next to nothing in t
