Nation Real Life

Is there anything better than a fresh episode of the Real Life podcast to help you close out your week? Of course not. This Thursday, the squad discussed OJ Simpson's passing, the rap beef between J.Cole, Drake, and Kendrick Lamar.On the Thursday episode of Real Life, the guys started with the news that everyone was talking about: OJ Simpson died. That gave Chalmers the opportunity to test out a new Ghost OJ impression to recap the final days of his life. As you'll hear, the podcast started off like a house on fire, and it didn't really slow down much from there. Changing gears, the guys talked about the J. Cole and Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar rap beef. While Wanye thinks this whole beef is fake news, Baggedmilk and Chalmers don't care as long as the music is good. According to Worldstar's Instagram, Drake will be dropping a new diss track at some point Thursday, and that news had the boys excited that the song will be a banger. Turning the podcast toward the Oilers, the guys recapped this three-game w

Attendance for today's podcast was sparce as Jay was in Toronto, Baggedmilk was getting his whipped service and Chalmers was on the grind. That meant it was a Tyler and Wanye takeover episode of the podcast and the two of them had a blast. They kicked things off by talking a little bit about their lives before the nation when they both worked retail jobs. They told stories of theft, promotions, and the lessons that come from having real jobs. From there, they talked about the Oilers strong weekend and their pursuit of the top spot in the division. Wanye talked about how we seem to gloss over positive moments now and reminded everyone of how dark things were at one point in Edmonton. They wrapped up the show with some talk about their lives as of late and concluded a fun two-man edition of The Real Life Podcast.

Is there anything better than a fresh episode of the Real Life podcast to help you close out your week? Absolutely not. This Thursday, the squad discussed phone etiquette, the Oilers' horrific loss to the Stars, and whatever nonsense came to mind.Starting off the Thursday episode of Real Life, the guys launched into a lively debate about whether or not they're likely to answer their phone if you call. It's always a surprise to see where these discussions lead, and this time, it led to a revelation-there are a few guys on the podcast who will not answer a phone call if it comes in past business hours.Somehow, talking about phone calls led to a recap of Wanye and Jay's trip to Moose Jaw. Not only did they go to watch the Warriors win a couple of playoff games, but they also went to the casino to play some Blackjack, which led to a passionate conversation about their approach to the tables.Turning the podcast back to the Oilers, the guys discussed last night's debacle in Dallas. That game was supposed to be a me

Monday means a fresh episode of the Real Life podcast is set and ready to launch you into the start of a new week. This week, the guys were discussing the Oilers' stretch drive, spring in Edmonton, and how this part of the year is one of the greatest times for sports.Kicking off the Monday episode of Real Life, the boys discussed the end of the Edmonton Oilers' 2023-24 campaign and how it's getting to the point where every game is exciting. Not only are the games exciting, but the boys are also playing some meaningful games down the stretch that still has them chasing the Vancouver Canucks for first place in the Pacific Division.Changing gears, the guys spent the next few minutes talking about betting on baseball after the new MLB season kicked off last week. One thing you'll learn as you get into betting on baseball is how far into the weeds you can get. As you'll hear, Tyler and his buddies go way out there when they're betting on baseball, and some of the bets they put down almost sound made up, given how

Is there anything better than a fresh episode of the Real Life podcast to help you close out your week? Absolutely not. This Thursday, the squad was looking at the start of the 2024 MLB season, the Oilers' matchup versus the Kings, and the horrific stories kicking off in the world of hip hop.Kicking off the Thursday episode of Real Life, Tyler walked the gang through the illness that kept him off the Monday episode of the podcast. As you'll hear, Yaremchuk gets a little bit graphic when describing his flu-related symptoms.Changing gears, the guy talked a little bit about sports, as the Oilers take on the Los Angeles Kings in a huge Pacific Division game, and the Toronto Blue Jays are getting set to kick off their 2024 MLB season. With baseball kicking off today, the guys looked at a few different stories from around the league, including the Shohei Ohtani betting scandal, the Jays' chances of making some noise, and what is going on with the Oakland A's.Lastly, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of the R

It was a tough weekend in Oilers land, which meant there was plenty to talk about on the Monday episode of Real Life. The real question, as always, was whether the guys would talk about the team or wander into topics unknown.Kicking off the podcast, the guys got started with a recap of Wanye's eventful weekend after an unexpected parenting challenge caught him completely off guard. As you'll hear, having children can be an adventure, and sometimes the result will be a disgusting mess you never expected.Changing gears, the guys got into some Oilers talk after what was a very difficult weekend in Ontario. After back-to-back losses in Toronto and Ottawa, the Oilers will need to check themselves in the mirror after some costly errors and poor ended up sewering their time in Ontario. No matter how you slice it, it was a tough weekend for Edmonton. Lastly, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a look at the Shohei Ohtani situation with the Dodgers and how that story just gets more bizarre by

It's Thursday afternoon, and that means a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast is all set and ready to massage your earholes. This week, the guys discussed the start of March Madness, the big Shohei Ohtani news, and gave a few takes on the Edmonton Oilers while they were at it. Kicking off the Thursday episode of Real Life, the guys got started with a look at the Oilersnation March Madness bracket and how one of the favourites has already been eliminated from the tournament. With brackets across the Nation ruined after only one game, the guys had a good time walking through the first couple hours of the NCAA's big moment. Changing gears, the guys spent the next few minutes talking about sports betting after the news broke this week that Shohei Ohtani's translator was fired for allegedly gambling on sports. Given how much money some of these companies are investing in pro leagues, is it really surprising to find out that people close to the game are putting bets down?Turning the podcast back to the

It's time for your regularly scheduled Monday afternoon episode of the Real Life Podcast. Only this time, the boys had some major news to talk about after Tyler finally got engaged to his lovely girlfriend, and it's not even a bit this time.Kicking off the Monday pod, the guys started with the breaking news from this past weekend that Tyler Yaremchuk got engaged to his longtime girlfriend. Given that this has been a running bit on the podcast for several years now, some people thought the engagement was a joke, but he actually did it for real this time. Changing gears, the guys then recapped Jay's vacation to Hawaii and the business trip he took immediately afterward to Copenhagen to meet our new business daddies at Better Collective. As you'd imagine, going from Hawaii straight to Denmark is quite the piece of travel, and bopping all over the planet the way he has over the last couple of weeks has him feeling upside down.Lastly, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of the podcast with a collection of

It's Thursday afternoon, and that means a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast is all set and ready to massage your earholes. This week, the guys discussed Connor Brown's first goal of the season and Zach Hyman's delayed hat trick and walked through another mouse update from Wanye Manor. Kicking off the podcast, the guys started with a look back at last night's Oilers game and how it was one of the most fun games the boys have been to that was essentially meaningless. From Connor Brown scoring a big goal to Zach Hyman's delayed hat trick announcement, last night's 7-2 win over the Washington Capitals was arguably one of the most fun games we've ever attended. Changing gears, Wanye gave the first mouse update from Wanye Manor in quite some time after he found another wee lad in his basement. Even though he thought this issue was all cleared up long ago, he quickly realized that was not the case at all after moving his couch downstairs and seeing another mouse staring back at him. Las

It's Monday afternoon, and that means it's time for a fresh episode of the Real Life podcast to make sense of the world around us. This week, the guys discussed the Oilers' trade deadline and food takes and talked about some player movement that's happening in the NFL. Starting off the Monday episode of Real Life, the podcast kicked off with a friendly banter about why this podcast hasn't had a new intro in months, immediately transitioning to Tyler's Door Dash order from Saturday. This casual conversation about food delivery led the hosts down a delightful rabbit hole of food takes, making the audience feel like they're part of the conversation. Shifting the focus back to the Oilers, the hosts walked the audience through Edmonton's rollercoaster weekend. From a disappointing performance in Buffalo on Saturday to a satisfying rebound against the Penguins on Sunday, the inconsistency in their game was undeniably frustrating.The guys then discussed what the Vegas Golden Knights were able to do at the

It's Thursday afternoon, and that means a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast is all set and ready to massage your earholes. This week, the guys were talking all about the NHL Trade Deadline after the Oilers pulled off a pair of trades leading up to the March 8th buzzer.Kicking off the Thursday episode of Real Life, the guys jumped in with a look at the two trades the Oilers have made so far. In one of those deals, Ken Holland bolstered the forward depth with the addition of Adam Henrique and Sam Carrick. In the second deal, Holland added another defender as he moved a 2027 4th-round pick to the Arizona Coyotes in exchange for Troy Stecher.Changing gears, Liam told the story of his virtual golf league and how he's dangerously close to having to sit in a Denny's for 24 hours as the league's loser. That led the guys to wonder how many pancakes they could eat after the rules of this golf group allow an hour to be taken off their time at Denny's for every pancake consumed. The most surprising part of the conve

It's Monday afternoon, and that means it's time for a fresh episode of the Real Life podcast to make sense of the world around us. Kicking off the podcast, the guys started the show with a collection of random topics, including Sidney Crosby's career earnings, what the Oilers may do at the trade deadline, and some hip hop talk. Why is that how the podcast started? It's a fair question, but also completely expected, given the way this show goes. Changing gears, Tyler told the story about interviewing Chris Pronger this morning at West Edmonton Mall. Despite Wanye's complaints about the way Pronger's tenure in Edmonton ended, Tyler explained how cool it was to interview an NHL Hall of Famer and ask a few questions about the 2006 Cup run. Lastly, the guys wrapped up the first show of the week with more random topics, including which WEM entrance we park at and why Tyler should never cross Wanye for any reason. Despite having topics prepped for this week's show, this one was one of those podcasts w

Thursday afternoon means it's time for a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast, the show where the guys probably should talk about the Edmonton Oilers but probably won't get there in the end.Kicking off the Thursday episode of Real Life, the guys got started with a conversation about producer Pat Puff after he came through with a big save yesterday during Oilersnation Everyday when the Internet went down mid-show. Seeing that there was a problem, Pat jumped to attention and saved the day by joining the broadcast to keep things going while Frank Seravalli was talking about the trade deadline. With the praising of Pat out of the way, the conversation turned to Wanye's trip to Moose Jaw from last weekend. Even though that trip had nothing to do with anything, the guys still spent 20 minutes talking about it anyway. After discussing everything from Mac the Moose to the Al Capone tunnels, the conversation somehow turned to West Edmonton Mall and how much Bourbon Street has changed over the last two decades.&

The snow is flying in Edmonton, the Oilers lost their third straight game against the hated Calgary Flames, and that meant a whole lot for the boys to talk about on the Monday episode of Real Life.Kicking off the podcast, the guys started the podcast by welcoming Dooks from Australia and Brandon from Illinois to the podcast to talk about their respective trips to Edmonton to watch the Oilers. From the way Nation Citizens have stepped up to make their trips feel more special to experiencing Rogers Place for the first time, it was so much fun to hear the boys talk about what it's been like to visit our city and view it through their eyes. Getting back to the regularly scheduled programming, the guys tried to figure out what the hell is happening with the Edmonton Oilers and why the team seems to be struggling so immensely right now. For whatever reason, the Oilers are playing as porously as they were early in the season, and the result is giving up goals en masse, and those lapses are costing them games.La

The boys are back from the Arizona #NationVacation, which meant there was a lot to talk about on the Thursday episode of the Real Life podcast.Kicking off the podcast, the guys got started with a recap of the trip to Scottsdale and how it was one of the greatest weekends any of the guys have ever experienced. From going to a game at Mullett Arena to the pre and post-game show at Devil's Advocate to cruising around in autonomous cars, there were plenty of stories to cover despite the trip being only 47 hours.Getting back to the Oilers, the guys walked through the experience of watching the game in a rink that small and how it was an electric environment to watch a game. To put it lightly, it was absolutely bananas to go to an away game in another country that felt just like a home game at Rogers Place. The unfortunate part is that there's no way an arena that small should be part of the National Hockey League so everyone just felt lucky that they were able to experience it at least once.Finally, the guys wrapp

Thursday afternoon means it's time for a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast, the show where the guys want to talk about the Edmonton Oilers but probably won't get there in the end.Kicking off the podcast, the guys got started with a random collection of topics, including an homage to the Crushed Can in Moose Jaw and a conversation about whether or not Chinese Elon Musk is real. While everyone other than Wanye thinks fake Elon is a real person, one of the greatest things to happen in the social media era is having all of these celebrity look-alikes popping up all over the world.Getting back to the Oilers, the boys discussed the Jordan Eberle rumour, as varying insiders have linked the Oilers to their former friends as a potential trade target. The guys also talked about this weekend's trip down to Arizona for the #NationVacation, and how they all think Mullett Arena will be half-full of Oilers fans. Could it be possible that the place will have more Oilers fans than Coyotes fans?Lastly, the guys wrapped up

The boys were all in the studio for once, The Super Bowl needed recapping, and that meant a whole lot for the boys to talk about on the Monday episode of Real Life. Kicking off the podcast, the guys started with a recap of The Super Bowl before the conversation was quickly derailed by Chalmers trying to explain why he missed last Thursday's episode. Instead of getting back to The Super Bowl, they then spent some time talking about the City and Colour concert at Rogers Place on Saturday night and how it was a fantastic evening of music even though Dallas Green didn't play some of the hits. Getting back to football, the guys walked through The Super Bowl between the 49ers and Chiefs and how the start of that football game was so incredibly boring. Thankfully, the back half picked up significantly before having the game reach its conclusion on a perfect drive by Pat Mahomes in OT. With three championships in the last five seasons, is Mahomes putting himself into the conversation to be one of the greate

Thursday afternoon means it's time for a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast, the show where the guys want to talk about the Edmonton Oilers but probably won't get there in the end. Kicking off the podcast, the guys got started as randomly as you'd expect from this podcast. First, Tyler revealed that he forgot his iPad on the plane on his way back from Toronto and how his own laziness is preventing him from going back to the airport to pick it up. He also touched on the continued neighbour drama on his street and how the levels of pettiness have risen to unprecedented levels. Turning the podcast back toward the Oilers, the guys walked through the Oilers' loss to Las Vegas and how it was a tough pill to swallow, given how well the visitors played in that contest. Yet, despite the hard-fought battle, some fans took the result way harder than they should have. If you read some of the comments at Oilersnation.com and on our social media, you'd think the Oilers had just lost 16 games in a ro

The boys are back from Toronto, All-Star Game weekend has wrapped, and everyone was back in Edmonton for the first in-studio episode of Real Life in quite some time. Kicking off the podcast, the guys started with a recap from Toronto and what the boys experienced in the days leading up to the NHL's annual all-star weekend. From the moment the boys arrived in Toronto until the time everyone got back to Edmonton, there was so much going on in the 6ix that it took almost half the podcast to get through all of the stories. From Bublé's confession at the player draft to the way the players navigated the skills competition and the game itself, there was plenty to talk about after what was a very busy few days on the road.Changing gears, the guys spoke about the 4 Nations tournament between Canada, the USA, Finland, and Sweden that the NHL will hold next year during a similar break that the players would get for the Olympics. While some of the guys appreciate the idea of best-on-best, others feel like a tournam

With the guys busy al NHL All-Star weekend, Tyler handled today's episode of the podcast and was joined by two guests. First off, he was joined by two-time Olympic gold medalist John Morris. One of the most decorated curlers of his era, Morris hopped on the pod and shared stories of his career. He talked about his experience at the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, and had a hilarious story about the condom usage at the athletes village. He also played a little rapid fire and since he's a die-hard Oilers fan, he also talked about how much he's loving the 16-game winning streak and told Tyler about the best Oilers game he ever attended.Tyler was then joined by new teammate Trav4Oilers. He's a goalie vlogger and had some cool stories about his life in various pro-hockey leagues. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
