Nation Real Life

Tyler, Chalmers and Wanye sat down for a new edition of The Real Life Podcast as they looked back on the last seven days both in their lives and the world of sports. They began by talking about their Halloween weekend, which then led into some talk about the Toronto Blue Jays. It was a great run that sadly ended with a pair of painful losses.There was some Oilers talk today on the podcast as they gave some takes on the team’s lacklustre play, and compared the vibes of a cinderella team like the Blue Jays to a perennial contender like the Oilers.Are there legitimate reasons to be concerned about the long-term health of this Oilers team? Or is this just their usual early season malaise?They then talked about the level of shadiness that goes on in professional sports. Wanye thinks that there’s a chance that things are shaped by the higher ups but both Tyler and Chalmers pushed back against that.They then gave their beefs of the week which included a rant from Tyler about traffic and societal responsibilites. The

Wanye and Baggedmilk talk about the launch of The Sauce with Ryder and Lisa, the coming changes with AI, social media, etc. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Given that the Jays are only one game away from clinching their third World Series title, it's hard not to get completely wrapped up in this run. Even if you're not a hardcore Blue Jays fan who watches every game in the regular season, the hype is taking over the country in a very real way.Changing gears, the guys dove a little bit into the Nation Vacation, and started with the rally popcorn Baggedmilk bought at the Oilers game in Vancouver. While the rally popcorn was trying to do its thing, Jay noted that Tyler had the job completed

On today's podcast, the guys discussed the World Series, cruise ships, Oilers vs. Habs, and much more.The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a look ahead at the World Series after Tyler walked into the studio wearing his new hoodie to commemorate the occasion. Not only did everyone want to hear about his experience for Game 7, but they also wanted to know what it was like to sit in a stadium that was going absolutely bananas. As you'll hear, Tyler had plenty of stories from being at Skydome that were very exciting and entirely understandable, which only fuelled everyone's excitement for Friday.From there, the discussion somehow shifted to cruise ships. How did the podcast get to cruises? No one knows for sure, but the conversation gave Chalmers the chance to talk about how much he loves them. After winding through his honeymoon cruise story, the podcast eventuall

On today's podcast, the guys discussed the Oilers' two-game win streak, trade rumours, most hated opponents, and much more.The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with some Oilers talk after the boys picked up a pair of wins over the Canucks and Rangers. Somehow, talking about those two wins led to a discussion about potential trade targets for Edmonton, even though it's way too early to really even discuss the possibilities. Following the trade talks down the rabbithole, the guys debated about who they would rather have in a trade: Tage Thompson or Ilya Sorokin.From there, the discussion shifted to the players or opponents we irrationally hate just because they played for an opposing team. Whether it was a former Flame like Robyn Regehr crushing Ales Hemsky to the Dallas Stars running the show during the playoffs in the late 90s, there were plenty of options to choose

From trying haggis for the first time to dabbling with local beers to watching the NFL in a soccer stadium, Jay got a lot of life done in a very short amount of time. From there, the discussion shifted to the Oilers' season opener, which was an incredibly frustrating result given how well the boys started the game. Starting with a look at the new guys, Chalmers admitted that he didn't know who some of the new guys were, which led to the boys dunking on him repeatedly. Despite hearing many of these names multiple times, Finally, the guy

The good news is that there's only one tune-up game left to slog through until the regular season begins, and that means we're so close to getting going for real. Talking about the season led the guys to discuss Kirill Kaprizov's contract extension and whether it affects Connor McDavid's negotiations. Taking a hard turn, Tyler asked the boys which animal they would choose to speak with if they could somehow speak the same language. While this may have been a throwaway comment by Tyler, the boys took the question way more seriously than he probably expected. From

Needless to say, talking about sports during COVID times almost feels alien, given how everything is long back to normal less than five years later. Talking sports led Tyler to talk about his Saturday at the Elks game, and how it was an electric finish for both the team and his wallet.Changing gears, the guys walked through their squad ride bet for the Ryder Cup and how the weekend was not only entertaining but also profitable.

From Big Brother being awful to when Tyler plans for having kids, there was a long run of topics that were all over the map.Changing gears, Baggedmilk recapped his ultimate sports weekend in Minneapolis and walked through the experience of going to a high school football game, a Twins doubleheader, and the Vikings' beatdown over the Bengals on Sunday afternoon. For a fan of live sports, watching that many sports in a span of three days was as goo

The Edmonton Oilers are back on the ice and the Real Life crew is back in the studio for a fresh Monday edition of the podcast. They started things off by talking about the split squad games that took place on Sunday night. Tyler gave the group his takeaways and then revealed that he might not actually be all that excited for this season to start. That led to a grilling from Jay and the group talked about why they are stoked for the puck to drop on October 8th.From there, they talked about a couple of Netflix documentaries that they’re working through. Wayne gave a not so great review of the Charlie Scheen doc while Chalmers sold the group of the Dallas Cowboys doc. That also led to some talk about wild minor league sports promotions.They also spent some time talking baseball with the playoffs right around te corner, who they’re cheering for in the Ryder Cup, flag football at the Olympics and all the new CFL changes that are coming.

As you'll hear, there are 40 chairs at Nation HQ, and that is way too many for our man, even though Baggedmilk passionately disagrees with him. Yet, as the conversation continued, the guys seemed to find a solution that would both rid the office of some of the useless chairs while not liquidating the office of potential seating options. Changing gears, Liam also walked through his quarterback betting rankings after a tough run of betting sank his weekend. As you'll hear, Liam's colour-coded quarterback system is based mainly on vibes and sometimes on the total body of work. While

It was also interesting to hear Tyler's perspective on the day because even getting to the golf course on Monday wasn't exactly smooth.Walking through the day, it was interesting to hear Tyler give his version of what happened and what adjustments he would make before the rematch. From taking more breaks to slowing down his swings between balls, there are more versions of

Somehow, talking about the studio move led to a conversation about buying an industrial ice maker for your residence. Too much? Good living?Changing gears, the boys spoke about buying and selling items on Facebook Marketplace. While Baggedmilk and Chalmers have never moved any units on Facebook, producer Eli walked the boys through how he's currently selling his car on the platform.
