Nation Real Life

A new week is here and that means the gang from the Real Life Podcast is back with a brand new episode to help you get through the rest of your Monday. On today’s podcast, the guys looked at Wanye junior's big day, a planking contest, the Oilers' winning streak, and a whole lot more. Kicking off this week's podcast, the guys got started with a story from Wanye about dropping off Lil' Wanye at baby university for the first time, and how it was a very emotional day as this was the first day he's ever been without his boy. Sticking with the Real Life kids, the conversation turned to the story of Chalmers' son entering a planking contest at the Jasper Pond Hockey tournament this past weekend and how he ended up as one of the stars of the weekend. Wrapping up what was undoubtedly an incredible tournament, the guys told a few more stories from the tourney and expressed their excitement about the opportunities that are yet to come. Turning the podcast to the Edmonton Oilers, the guys broke down the upcoming schedule

It's a quick little podcast but here is an update on the boys and how they're doing at the Tourism Jasper Pond Hockey Tournament! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Thursday has landed on your calendars and that means the gang from the Real Life Podcast is back with a brand new episode to help you get through the rest of your week. Today, the guys looked at Evander Kane becoming an Oiler, avoiding the grind, and a whole lot more. Kicking off the Thursday episode of Real Life, the guys got started with a look behind the scenes as the podcast started with technical glitches and a chat about scheduling as Tyler revealed that he will be taking some vacay again soon. From there, the guys dove into the Evander Kane rumours as it seems like the troubled forward will be on the team sooner than later. Is bringing Kane in a good move? Is it too much of a distraction? Will a move like this affect your fandom? From there, the conversation transitioned to the Jasper Pond Hockey tourney that's coming up on the weekend and what everyone's approach will be when it comes to drinking, partying, and dressing up for the festivities. Lastly, the guys wrapped up the podcast with another editi

A new week is here and that means the gang from the Real Life Podcast is back with a brand new episode to help you get through the rest of your Monday. On today’s podcast, the guys looked at the NFL playoffs, the Battle of Alberta, the Metaverse, and a whole lot more. To kick off the Monday episode of Real Life, the boys got started with a look at the Jasper Pond Hockey tournament that's kicking off this weekend and how everyone is incredibly excited to get on the ice. With that excitement out of the way, Baggedmilk turned the conversation towards yesterday's Bills playoff loss as everyone was wondering how he handled such a crushing defeat. Getting to some good news, the guys then covered Saturday's Battle of Alberta win and spoke at length about how much everyone surrounding the Oilers needed that win. Even with that win, the guys on the podcast wondered if the Oilers still need to add more meat to their lineup to make sure they're not getting pushed around at all. From there, the podcast turned back toward

A new week is here and that means the gang from the Real Life Podcast is back with a brand new episode to help you get through the rest of your Monday. On today's podcast, the guys looked at what's going on with the Oilers, getting pissy, and welcomed the On the Bench boys to talk about next week's Jasper Pond Hockey tournament. To kick off the episode of Real Life, the boys got started with a look at the third episode of Better Lait Than Never as Baggedmilk continues to learn how to mix audio on his new podcast. From Gregor's origin story with the Nation to what's going on with the Oilers to the price of cheese continuing to rise, episode three of BLTN was another dose of randomness that you need during these dark times. Speaking of the Oilers, the guys looked at the awkward exchange between Leon Draisaitl and Jim Matheson that happened this past week, and how it was yet another issue with a team that just doesn't need them right now. It goes without saying that there is a laundry list of issues with this te

A new week is here and that means the gang from the Real Life Podcast is back with a brand new episode to help you get through the rest of your Monday. Today, the guys looked at the Oilers' continuous struggles, provided a Chicago Mix update, and a whole lot more. To kick off the episode of Real Life, the boys got started with a look at Saturday night's loss to the Ottawa Senators and how it was such a deflating loss, especially after carrying a two-goal lead into the third period. No matter how you slice it, everything that could go wrong has gone wrong lately, and with a very tough schedule coming up, the guys are trying to figure out what comes next. Needless to say, the vibes around here are anything but positive right now. Getting away from the Oilers, the guys dove into their Wordle strategies as the daily word game continues to take over the Internet right now. Is everyone playing? Do the guys have strategies? From there, the guys dove into a conversation from last Thursday's podcast about Chicago Mix

Another Thursday has landed on our calendars and the boys are back with a fresh Real Life Podcast to help you get through the rest of the week. Today, the boys talked about the latest Evander Kane drama, a random chat about Chicago Mix, speeding tickets, and welcomed Nic Sulsky from PointsBet Canada to talk about a brand new partnership. To kick off the Thursday episode of Real Life, the podcast got started with a story from Tyler about wiping out in front of his apartment building after Edmonton's weather shot the moon by 30+ degrees over the last few days, creating an icy situation that everyone is having to deal with after an insane deep freeze over the last couple of weeks. That led to a lengthy conversation about speeding tickets and how everyone on the podcast seems to collect these things at a very high level. Now, some may say that speeding is irresponsible — we would agree — but for some of the boys, picking up the tickets seems like a way to give back to the city they love. All jokes, of course. Wit

A new week is here and that means the gang from the Real Life Podcast is back with a brand new episode to help you get through the rest of your Monday. Today, the guys looked at the metaverse, cryptocurrency, Evander Kane, and a whole lot more. To kick off the episode of Real Life, the boys got started with a look at the Metaverse after Tyler confessed that he didn't know what the hell everyone is talking about. As it turns out, Chalmers is also confused about what's going on with cryptocurrencies and the metaverse which gave Baggedmillk a chance to flex his nerdery and offer up his takes on why people should care about this stuff. Somehow the conversation about the metaverse led into a story from Jay about having his credit card information stolen over the last couple of weeks and how things like this can be so incredibly annoying to deal with while trying to sort things out. Getting to the Edmonton Oilers, we looked at the report that came out during the podcast that Ken Holland has reached out to Evander K

A new episode of The Real Life Podcast is here! Jay, Tyler, Chalmers, and Wanye kicked off the show by digging right in to the state of the Edmonton Oilers. Things aren't going well and there are WAY more questions than answers at the moment, but regardless, the group tried to work their way through them and think of some potential solutions that could be there for the team. Basically, the bulk of this podcast was one massive therapy session and things got pretty heated at points. Chalmers says they need to do a slump-busting ritual, Jay is worried about 29/97, and Yaremchuk just rattled off a bunch of trade targets. It was a podcast full of hockey talk. They also hit on the NFL playoff picture towards the end and talked about the fact that the Oilers have basically no games for the next few weeks. WHAT DO WE DO WITH OUR SPARE TIME?

A new episode of The Real Life Podcast is here! Today on the show, the gang kicked things off by getting into a really deep discussion about the dreams they've been having recently, how often they remember their dreams, and what they could mean. It was definitely a weird way to start the pod. After that, Chalmers shared a new TV series that he's been hooked too and then finally, the group dug into the struggling Edmonton Oilers. Jay and Yaremchuk are FED UP with the way the team has been playing. They show little heart, their effort is inconsistent, and the results don't look like they're going to get better. Jay wants changes NOW! They also gave our their Trades Link hardest worker of the week award. To wrap things up, they looked back at 2021 and shared some of the favourite podcast memories that listeners shared over the last few days. They also looked ahead to a great memory that they're looking forward to making in early 2022 with Tourism Jasper! All of that and more in episode 342 of The Real Life Podca

Another Thursday has landed on our calendars and the boys are back with a fresh Real Life Podcast to help you get into the Christmas break. Today, the boys talked about what happened on the Christmas break, the Oilers' return, and a whole lot more. To kick off the Thursday episode of Real Life, the podcast got started with a look at the Christmas break and what everyone got up to with a couple of well-deserved days off. From there, the guys looked back at the year 2021 and offered up some of the lessons they learned over the past 12 months and whether there were any positives to be pulled from what was another trying year. The guys also looked ahead at 2022 and offered up some New Years' resolutions for the Edmonton Oilers as work their way into a new calendar year. Sticking with the Oilers, the guys looked at what the team needs and whether or not there's any possibility of a trade happening in the coming weeks that sends a message to the squad that they need to be better. As the conversation progressed, how

Another Thursday has landed on our calendars and the boys are back with a fresh Real Life Podcast to help you get into the Christmas break. Today, the boys were talking about Festivus grievances, the Jasper pond hockey tournament, betting on random Bowl games, and a whole lot more. To kick off the Thursday episode of Real Life, the podcast got started with a look at Festivus and that meant the boys had a chance to air their grievances and share their feats of strength. Seeing as COVID poked its ugly head into the Christmas season for the second straight year, there's no doubt that Omicron was high up on everyone's list of grievances. Seeing as the NHL may or may not actually be back for the 27th as planned, the lack of sports had some of the guys betting on games they wouldn't otherwise be interested in. The guys also talked about the Jasper pond hockey tournament that kicks off in late January and how the boys are pumped to get back into the tournament after a few years away. From there, the podcast fell off

A brand new week has arrived on our calendars and that means the gang from the Real Life Podcast is back with a brand new episode to help you get through what's left of your week before the Christmas break. Today, the guys looked at the NHL schedule postponement, shows to watch with no hockey, and a whole lot more. To kick off the episode of Real Life, the boys got started with an update about the mouse situation at Wanye Manor in 2021 and how things have evolved over the last months since we last checked in. Somehow the mouse talk led to a conversation about the moon landing and how not everyone on the show is quite so certain that things went down the way we were told. Unsurprisingly, talking about moon landing conspiracy theories led the boys down a strange path of talking about TV shows to watch now that there's no hockey for the next week or so. From mountain climbing documentaries to survival shows and everything in between, this was about as random of a 20-minute segment as you'll get on the Real Life

Another Thursday has landed on our calendars and that means the gang from the Real Life Podcast is back with a brand new episode to help you get you through what’s left of your week. Today, the boys were talking about Tuesday's loss to the Maple Leafs, why it's wrong to throw a jersey on the ice, and a whole lot more. To kick off the Thursday episode of Real Life, the podcast got started with a look at Tuesday's loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs and how it was a demoralizing loss for Oilers fans, especially after the team started reasonably well but just couldn't put the puck in the back of the net. From Leafs fans taking over the building to the Oilers being completely snakebitten to a jersey being tossed on the ice, it was a rough night all around and a game that encompasses all of the things that are going wrong right now. From there, the podcast fell off the rails a little bit as the guys got into a passionate discussion about how MSG used to be the enemy even though the war has seemingly subsided here in 2

A brand new week has arrived on our calendars and that means the gang from the Real Life Podcast is back with a brand new episode to help you get you through the next four(ish) days of your life. Today, the guys looked at Jay and Chalmers' trip to Mexico, the Oilers' losing streak, and a whole lot more. To kick off the episode of Real Life, the boys got started with a recap with a look at Jay and Chalmers' trip to Mexico that just wrapped up last week and how it was a real shock to the system to come back to Edmonton right in the middle of a cold snap. Needless to say, the drinks were flowing all week and it wasn't exactly surprising to hear why the boys didn't make it onto the podcast as promised. Mixing some Oilers into the trip recap, there is nothing that ruins a vacation night quite like having the team go 0-5 over the past week and change, especially when you see how the results are affecting their spot in the standings. Changing gears, the guys talked a little football after a wild finish in the Grey C

Another Thursday has landed on our calendars and that means the gang from the Real Life Podcast is back with a brand new episode to help you get you through what’s left of your week. Today, the boys were talking about dogs on the Oilers broadcast, Chalmers and Jay being MIA, and a whole lot more. To kick off the Thursday episode of Real Life, the podcast got started with a random conversation about the repairs going on at Wanye Manor which is why he was not in the studio with the boys. That spawned a chat about the dog that made a guest appearance on Tuesday night's broadcast, and how that was arguably one of the most exciting parts about that game. From there, the guys got into the Oilers being valued at $1.1 billion (USD) by Forbes this past week and how it was crazy to see a 100% increase despite working through a global pandemic. Sticking with the business of sports, the guys looked at the Pat McAfee deal that came through this week after the former punter-turned podcaster landed a contract worth $30 mill

A brand new week has arrived on our calendars and that means the gang from the Real Life Podcast is back with a brand new episode to help you get you through what’s left of your week. Today, the guys looked at the frustrating losses to Seattle and LA, the William Lagesson drama that kicked off last night, and a whole lot more. To kick off the episode of Real Life, the boys got started with a recap of last night's loss to the LA Kings and how a tough game like that splinters the fanbase like no other. There's no doubt that the last two games have been incredibly annoying, but the guys wondered if it makes any sense at all how many of us are willing to throw in the towel. From there the guys dove into the William Lagesson drama that kicked off last night after his agent took a shot at Dave Tippett for not playing his client against the Kings. Next up, Tyler told the boys about getting his first-ever massage and how it was a much more painful experience than he expected. He also wondered if massage protocol woul

Another Thursday has landed on our calendars and that means the gang from the Real Life Podcast is back with a brand new episode to help you get you through what’s left of your week. Today, the boys were talking about TikTok, the Oilers' win over Pittsburgh, and a whole lot more. To kick off the Thursday episode of Real Life, the podcast got started with a random conversation about TikTok and how the old boys on the show end up getting lost in a world that seems so strange to them. As you'll hear, the love for TikTok is real on the Real Life podcast and only time will tell whether or not that love means we'll see the boys dancing on the Oilersnation account at any point. Changing gears, the guys looked at last night's unlikely win over the Penguins and how the whole game was an emotional rollercoaster from start to finish. Even though the first two periods were a trash fire, the Oilers still found a way to pull out the win after burning things up in the third period with a flurry of goals. See acast.com/priva

A brand new week has arrived on our calendars and that means the gang from the Real Life Podcast is back with a brand new episode to help you get you through what’s left of your week. Today, the guys looked at the Nation viewing party that happened on Saturday, Oilers talk, and a whole lot more. To kick off the episode of Real Life, the boys got started with a look back at Saturday night's game against the Golden Knights and how that was a major test passed for an Oilers team that is still battling the injury bug right now. They also discussed the Nation Viewing Party that happened at Campio on Saturday night and how it was incredible to be able to get everyone back in the same room again after nearly two years apart. From Tyler's romper to the seemingly endless supply of prizes, it was an incredible night for everyone involved and we cannot wait to throw another one. From there, the guys covered what’s coming up next for events now that we’re able to do so. Speaking of events, Jay gave some more details abou

A new week means the boys are back with a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast to help you get your new week started and make sense of the world around us. In today’s episode, the guys talked about whether Connor McDavid is having fun, looked ahead at the Olympics, and a whole lot more. To kick off today’s podcast, the guys got started with a conversation about weekend beers affecting the start of the week, and how getting going on Monday can bring you through to the next weekend without even knowing it. Sticking in the fun lane, the guys wondered if Connor McDavid is taking a minute to enjoy what's happening right now or if he has to actually win something before he lets loose a little bit. Talking about McDavid led the guys into some Olympic talk and specifically tried to come up with a drinking game for Canada against China provided that the latter is allowed to participate. Turning the podcast back towards the Oilers, the guys looked at the roster and wondered where they could reasonably address some of
