Nation Real Life

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

Monday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you kick off your workweek. 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

Talking golf then led to a discussion about equipment costs in sports, and how much a person can spend on marginal upgrades in their game. From there, Jay and Baggedmilk recapped their trip to Toronto, describing it as an eventful one, complete with meetings, hard work, and a pair of sweeping power outages. 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

On today's podcast, the guys discussed the Oilers' loss to Florida, Connor McDavid's extension comments, and more.The guys started the Thursday episode of Real Life with a discussion about what went wrong with the Oilers in the Stanley Cup Final, and how it wasn't nearly as close this year as it was the previous year. 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

On today's podcast, the guys discussed Game 5 against the Stars, superfan costumes, and much more.The guys kicked off the website with a conversation about Game 5 against the Dallas Stars, and how everyone is feeling about the Oilers having another chance to close out the Western Conference Final. 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

Starting in the 2018-19 season, Justin wanted to commit to an NHL team but didn't want to jump on a bandwagon, so he landed on the Oilers after working through some internal metrics that made sense.Diving into his first trip to Edmonton, Justin talked about how he ended up in the city earlier than expected because Jay promised him a ticket for Game 3 if he could get in on time. 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

That led the guys to wonder what the model is for these accounts to abandon their normal content in favour of ads that annoy all of their followers. 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

After losing Game 3 in the most painful fashion imaginable, the pressure is on Edmonton to turn things around or risk losing the advantage they built by winning the first two matchups. Even though this isn't a must-win game in the literal sense, it certainly feels like it in the spiritual sense. Changing gears, producer Eli jumped onto the podcast to tell the story about our intern Padon getting kicked out of the Moss Pit for allegedly sneaking alcohol in. The problem with their theory, of course, is that Padon doesn't drink. Not only does he not drink alcohol, but the guy was wearing shorts and didn't ha

Given that everyone expected Vegas to blow them out, especially after dropping two goals early, watching the boys come roaring back over the final 50 minutes was every shade of fun. The question on everyone's mind after a win like that is whether the Oilers can keep the train rolling in Game 2. Taking a hard pivot from the Oilers talk, the boys discussed the new pope getting announced earlier Thursday afternoon. Given that he will be known as Pope Leo, is that a good omen for our beloved Leon Draisaitl? The betting boys on the podcast certainly think so. Sticking with the pa

While many of the pundits and experts felt this was the Kings' year to beat the Oilers finally, what actually happened was a fantastic display of resilience by an Edmonton crew that would not quit. As a result, the Kings announced that they've parted ways with Rob Blake as the team's GM only days after a fourth consecutive first-round exit.Looking ahead at the Vegas Golden Knights, Tyler walked the boys through what to expect from their second round matchup vs. the Vegas Golden Knights. While there's little doubt the Golden Knights are a fantastic hockey club, Tyler also singled out s

On the Monday episode of Real Life, the guys discussed the Oilers' series comeback, Evan Bouchard's redemption, the NFL draft, and much more.The guys started the Monday episode of Real Life by looking at the Oilers' miraculous comeback in their first-round series against the Los Angeles Kings. While neither Games 3 nor 4 were masterpieces by Edmonton, the resilience they showed to come back on both nights was as extraordinary as it was concerning that they could keep doing it. As much as the comebacks were thrilling, wouldn't it be nice to have the boys find an early lead and be able to keep it for 60 minutes?Diving into the Game 4 win, the guys discussed the Oilers' comeback win and how Sunday's victory was as electric as it gets in the post-season. Starting with the way the Oilers got better as the game wore on, the guys wondered why it takes the boys being down by a goal or more before they're able to

On today's podcast, the guys discussed The Last of Us, Wednesday's Game 2 loss, where the Edmonton Oilers go from here, and much more.The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a conversation about anything other than the Edmonton Oilers. Instead, Chalmers ranted about The Last of Us after Wednesday's episode dropped a bombshell on viewers that our man did not see coming. Given that no one else on the podcast watches the show, the conversation didn't last more than a few seconds. If you're a fan of the show, however, you probably know what Chalmers was talking about.Changing gears, the boys got a second rant from Chalmers about the state of the Oilers. After dropping Game 2 more disappointingly than the first game, it was incredibly frustrating to watch a veteran team like this battle the details of their game as much as they are. Whether you're concerned with t

Although there has never been a situation involving a train accident of any kind, he still feels anxious anytime he drives under a train. That story led Tyler to talk about his hatred of stairs and how he wore clogs with bells on them as a kid.
