Nation Real Life

The calendar says it's Thursday and that means the boys from the Real Life Podcast are back with a brand new episode of the show, and this week, they’re talking badass dream jobs, future Wanye voicemail messages, and a whole lot more. To kick off the Thursday episode of Real Life, the guys got started with a conversation about jobs they think are badass after both Baggedmilk and Chalmers saw a fighter jet cruising around the west end. From there, the guys finally got to the Future Wanye voicemail messages after finding out that real Wanye wouldn't be on this week's show, leaving the three boys to try and figure out how the hell the mystery message nailed his impression. Seeing as this was the first time Tyler has played voicemails in a little while, the conversation turned to whether or not the podcast needs more static segments or if it's better to fly by the seat of our pants. Getting away from the structure almost immediately, the guys spent a few minutes recapping what's been going on in the Big Brother h

The weekend may be over but the good news is that the boys are back with a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast to help you get your week started and to make some sense of the world around us. In today’s episode, the guys looked at pickleball, movie theatres, Donda, and a whole lot more. Kicking off today's podcast, the guys jumped in with a chat about Thursday's interview with Andy Sutton and how the guys thought that that podcast deserved more love. Somehow, talking about Andy Sutton turned the conversation to Pickle Ball after Jay noticed that Glen Anderson was in Red Deer for a major tournament this past weekend. As you may have expected, just hearing the term pickleball was enough for the guys to challenge each other to a game with Jay and Chalmers hoping to even the playing field against Baggedmilk and Tyler. Changing gears, the guys got into what it would take to get them back into a movie theatre as most of the boys haven't gone to watch a movie since the pandemic started. Finally, the guys wrapped

The boys from the Real Life Podcast are back with a brand new episode of the show, and this week, they're welcoming a former Edmonton Oiler, Andy Sutton, into the mix to talk about his career and what he's up to in retirement.    Kicking things off, the podcast got started with a preview of Andy Sutton's NHL career and how he was such an imposing force on the ice when he played. First up, the guys asked Andy to walk through his come up to the NHL, and if you hadn't heard the story before, it was incredible to hear how his work ethic and mindset basically carried him to hockey's top league. From the way he broke into the league to the way he put his body to the test on a nightly basis, it was fascinating to listen to Sutton tell stories from his career with so much openness and passion. After his career wrapped up, Sutton knew he wanted to stick within the hockey space and that's what drove him to get into the gear game. Driven by his passion for the sport, customer service, and product innovation, Sutton is n

The weekend may be over but the fun is far from over as the boys are back with a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast to help get your week started and to make sense of the world around us. In today’s episode, the guys covered Jay's trip to Nashville, and a whole lot more. Kicking off today's podcast, the guys got started with a recap of Jay's trip to Nashville and what it means for the Nation Network moving forward. From high-level meetings with a powerful mentor to the food tour he powered through and what it potentially means for citizens that will be joining us on an upcoming Nation Vacation. From there, the conversation turned towards the Oilersnation Open and how excited everyone is to get together and hit the links at Cougar Creek for the first tourney in two years. Lastly, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of the podcast with a discussion about Dogpatch that is set to open up soon, so the guys walked through the history of Nation HQ offices they've worked at before eventually landing in their n

The long weekend may be behind us but the fun is far from over as the boys are back with a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast to help get your week started and to make sense of the world around us. In today’s episode, the guys covered everything Tyler missed on his vacation, Oilers talk, and a whole lot more. To kick off this week's episode, the guys got started with a look at everything Tyler missed while he was on vacation, including making him listen to plenty of praise for his temporary replacement. With plenty of Oilers news that happened while he was away, Tyler was anxious to break down the Oilers roster and take a few swings about what's still to come before the 2021-22 season begins. Somehow, the Oilers talk led Jay and Wanye to talk about the time they went to Dubai and went skiing inside of a shopping mall. Did you read that right? Yes. From there, the podcast fell off the rails a little bit as the guys covered a range of topics from golf, to the Oilersnation Open, to a little bit of Big Broth

Thursday means that the workweek is winding down and that the boys from the Real Life Podcast are back with a brand new episode of the show to get you set for the weekend and break down the week that was. In today’s episode, the guys covered day one of free agency, Ethan Bear being traded to Carolina, Tyson Barrie, and a whole lot more. To kicking things off, the guys got started with a chat about the NHL free agency that kicked off yesterday and whether or not the Oilers are actually better today than they were in free agency. How much does the Zach Hyman signing help? What about Warren Foegele? Is the defence going to be good enough to keep the puck out of the net? From there, the guys looked at player jerseys numbers, and wondered specifically about which number Hyman will wear as the guys all believe that his jersey will be a best-seller around these parts. Changing gears, the guys talked a little football as Aaron Rogers made some news yesterday after his open and honest assessment of where he's at with

The weekend may be behind us but the fun is far from over as the boys are back with a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast to help get your week started and to make sense of the world around us. In today's episode, the guys covered the NHL Entry Draft, Tyler's vacation, and a whole lot more. Kicking off the podcast, the guys started the podcast with a look at this past weekend's NHL Draft and what everyone thought of selecting Xavier Bourgault with the 22nd overall pick, especially after trading back and leaving goaltender Jesper Wallstedt on the board. From there, the guys looked at NHL Free Agency that kicks off on Wednesday after news came out that the Oilers would be waiting until free agency day to sign Zach Hyman to a max-term deal. That's when Tyler hopped on the podcast to discuss his vacation and give a few takes on what's been going on in the NHL over the past few days. Moving on to the Olympics, the guys took guesses about what sport they could potentially participate in and not completely embarr

Thursday means that your workweek is winding down and that the boys from the Real Life Podcast are back with a brand new episode of the show to get you set for the weekend and break down the week that was. In today’s episode, the guys covered Adam Larsson jumping ship, Frank Seravalli taking over Twitter, space talk, and a whole lot more. Kicking off the podcast, the guys started the podcast with a conversation about soccer as new Tyler (Liam) was sitting in since Yaremchuk decided the best time for a vacay was the business week in NHL news. Despite knowing nothing about soccer... err... football, the guys did their best to engage in the topic even though they could tell Liam thought they were idiots. Changing gears, the conversation turned to Jeff Bezos' space trip from a few days ago and tried to figure out what retail space travel will mean for human beings going forward. Next up, how could the guys not spend a few minutes talking about how Frank Seravalli broke Hockey Twitter yesterday with all of the bre

The weekend may be over but the fun is far from over as the boys are back with a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast to help get you going and to make sense of the world around us. This week, the guys covered the Oilersnation Open, new podcast intros, listener voicemails, and a whole lot more. Kicking off the podcast, the guys started the podcast with some quick golf talk as we draw ever closer to the Oilersnation Open. As the podcast started, the high bid to golf with the boys is $600 for a lucky duo that will join Jay, Chalmers, and Yaremchuk for a round at Cougar Creek. From there, Tyler showed off the brand new podcast intros that he's been sitting on, and once again, Baggedmilk was not in them. Disrespect? Direct shot? Only Tyler knows for sure. Getting back to hockey, the guys took some questions from Twitter about what's to come with the Oilers only to have the conversation fall off the rails almost immediately. Lastly, the guys wrapped the podcast with their first Big Brother segment of the year as

Thursday means that your workweek is winding down and that the boys from the Real Life Podcast are back with a brand new episode of the show to get you set for the weekend and break down the week that was. In today’s episode, the guys covered the Oilers rumours, disc golf, the Oilersnation Open, and a whole lot more. Kicking things off, the guys got the podcast started with a recap of the Nation Real Life Disc Golf Championship that took place this past Tuesday after the guys finally got out to Rundle Park to get a round under their belts. From the moment the guys arrived at Rundle to the minute they wrapped, the guys had nothing but good things to say about the sport they had never played before this even though it humbled them greatly with their lack of skill. Sticking with the links, the conversation turned to the upcoming Oilersnation Open that is set for August 26th and how you have the opportunity to bid to golf with the Real Life crew. Changing gears, Wanye then told a story of how his new neighbours s

The weekend may be over, but the good news is that the boys are back with a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast to help get you going and to make sense of the world around us. This week, the guys covered the Duncan Keith trade, Baggedmilk's gift to Jay, listener voicemails, and a whole lot more. To kick things off, the guys got started with a conversation about the Duncan Keith trade that just broke right before the podcast started and tried to make sense of why this deal had to happen now. Surprisingly, the boys on the podcast were split on the trade even though many Oilers fans were completely shocked that Holland decided to pull the trigger on the deal that's been talked about for weeks now. Unsurprisingly, no one was able to find middle ground on the trade but instead decided to leave things for a bit and see was else Holland does this offseason. From there, the conversation turned to Big Brother, which is the boys' favourite summer pastime, but unfortunately, not everyone was caught up yet but the exc

Thursday means that your workweek is winding down and that the boys from the Real Life Podcast are back with a brand new episode of the show to get you set for the weekend and break down the week that was. In today’s episode, the guys discussed Tampa's Cup win, Kucherov's post-game interview, and a whole lot more. Kicking things off, the guys got the podcast started with Yaremchuk telling the story of a Wednesday wedding he attended and why he's so hungover on a Thursday. Who has a wedding on a Wednesday? It's a fair question, but that's the situation the guys started the show in. Steering the show back to the NHL, the guys talked about Nikita Kucherov's post-game interview after the star forward that left a wake of bodies behind him as it seemed like no one was safe from his ire. Changing gears, the guys then made their pitch for why you should sign up for the 2021 Oilersnation Open golf tournament that's coming up in late August, especially since we always have such an amazing time. Lastly, the guys wrapped

The long weekend may be over, but the boys are back with a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast to help get you going and to make sense of the world around us. This week, the guys covered the Nugent-Hopkins extension, Duncan Keith, listener voicemails, and a whole lot more.   To kick things off, the guys got started with a conversation about Ryan Nugent-Hopkins re-signing for eight years since we didn't have a second podcast last week because of the holiday. From the love Baggedmilk got on Twitter after the announcement to the way 'Keep Nuge Forever' took on a life of its own over the last 10 years, having RNH stick with the team that drafted him was an exciting moment for the Nation. Somehow, talking about Nuge led the guys to talk about SlamBall for a few minutes after Chalmers rediscovered the sport recently, prompting the guys to wonder whether or not the sport could ever make a comeback. The guys also discussed the rumors that Duncan Keith could be coming to Edmonton after it was revealed that the vete

It's a spicy weather week here in the capital city, but the boys are back with a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast to help get you going and to make sense of the world around us. This week, the guys covered the Edmonton heatwave, disc golf, forgotten languages, and a whole lot more.   To kick things off, the boys started with a quick conversation about how ridiculously hot it is in Edmonton this week, and how everybody is handling the heatwave so far.  From throwing wet towels in the freezer to sleeping in front of the air conditioner to complaining about Slurpee flavours again, the boys offered their best advice on what to do to stay cool over the upcoming week. From there, the conversation turned to disc golf again as it's becoming apparent that the sport is taking over the world after a clip from this past weekend went viral. Needless to say, the guys feel like they're getting into the sport on the ground level, and the fact that it's been months since they've started talking about it and not one disc

Thursday means that your workweek is winding down and that the boys from the Real Life Podcast are back with a brand new episode of the show to get you set for the weekend. On today’s podcast, the guys welcomed Frank Seravalli back to the podcast to talk about yesterday's announcement, and a whole lot more.   Kicking off today’s podcast, the guys got started with a quick conversation about yesterday's announcement that Frank Seravalli would be joining the Network after walking away from TSN shortly before the playoffs started. Based on the reaction from yesterday's announcement, a lot of people were clearly surprised that DailyFaceoff was able to land the biggest fish in the media free agent pool. Speaking of Frank, the man himself then joined the podcast to talk a little bit about this new partnership and what it meant to him to make a change and head into the digital space. From there, the guys asked Frank for his take on varying hockey subjects ranging from the best arenas to free agency to what to expect

A new week has landed and that means the boys are back with a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast recorded to help make sense of the world around us. This week, the guys covered how they spent their Father's Day, learning to drive, creating a better vibe at Rogers Place, and a whole lot more. To kick off the Monday episode of the Real Life podcast, the show got started with a look at Father's Day and how everyone spent the day. From Wanye getting a framed picture of Lil Wanye to Baggedmilk commenting on his dad's retirement gear to Yaremchuk holding hands with his old man, the guys spent a few minutes talking about their dads and what it was like to spend the day together. From there, the conversation turned to the history of NationGear as Tyler asked Wanye, Baggedmilk, and Jay about their favourite gear designs from throughout the years, and how the clothing line has evolved over the years. Getting back to the Oilers, the conversation turned to the dressing room as the boys tried to guess which Oilers wou

Thursday means that your workweek is winding down and that the boys from the Real Life Podcast have a new episode in the books and ready for your ear holes. On today’s podcast, the guys covered the new Nation HQ, disc golf, our new answering machine, current events, and a whole lot more.   Kicking off today’s podcast, the guys got started with Tyler Yaremchuk's confession that he broke into the new Nation HQ building and wandered around for a little personal tour despite the fact that it's not yet opened. From the pub (Dogpatch) to the bakery (Bread + Butter) to the new recording studio, Tyer had plenty of good things to say about the new office and what's to come. Changing gears, the guys got back into their disc golf dreams after Chalmers got an email from Eric Moon, a loyal Real Life listener and avid disc chucker. Will this email be the first step to actually getting out and rattling the chains? Sticking with summer sports, Baggedmilk asked the guys for some help with his pursuit of new golf clubs now tha

A new week has landed and that means the boys are back with a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast recorded to help make sense of the world around us. This week, the guys covered even more food talk, TikTok trends, Brazilian statues, and a whole lot more.   To kick off the Monday episode of the Real Life podcast, the guys started the podcast in the most random way imaginable after Baggedmilk posted on Twitter that he tried the TikTok trend of eating watermelon with mustard on it. Somehow, that kicked off a chat about TikTok stars fighting each other and how Chalmers apparently knows more about the social platform than he cares to admit. Steering the show back to the Oilers, the guys reminisced about Fernando Pisani's OT goal from 15 years ago as he closed out Game 5 in the most dramatic fashion. Somehow the Oilers talk led the guys into a conversation about Brazil and how the city of Encantado is building a bigger statue of Jesus than the original that's in Rio de Janeiro. Lastly, the guys wrapped up the po
