Nation Real Life

There's nothing better than winding down your week with a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast to make sense of what's happening in the world. On today's show, the guys looked at last weekend's Nation Vacation, the Oilers' comeback win, and Chalmers' favourite day of the week. Kicking off the Thursday episode of the podcast, the guys started with a recap of the #NationVacation to Seattle and how the weekend was a blast from start to finish. Jumping to the last night of the trip, the guys walked through the Aqua concert and how it was a night that Chalmers absolutely should have experienced. Backing up to the football game, the boys busted Tyler's balls a little bit after he decided to wear a Buffalo Bills jacket to a Seahawks/Commanders game. They then spent way too much time talking about the self-serve concession stands that are available in the States and how the technology is so bizarre to explain if you've never experienced it. Changing gears, the conversation turned to what was a wild week in Oil

There's nothing better than winding down your week with a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast to make sense of what's happening in the world. On today's show, the guys looked at the Jack Campbell situation, previewed the Oilers vs. Sharks, and looked ahead at this weekend's #NationVacation. Kicking off the Thursday episode of the podcast, the guys started with a look at how dire the situation is for the Edmonton Oilers and whether or not there's any hope left. Kicking off the chat was whether or not sending Jack Campbell to the Condors will help turn things around and whether or not this contract is one of the worst deals in franchise history. The guys also wondered whether or not there would be an opportunity to actually move on from that contract without having to sell the farm to make it happen. The guys then spent the next few minutes looking back at Monday's matchup against the Canucks and how the night unravelled as the game wore on. Changing gears, Chalmers gave us the latest installment in his

The pain just keeps coming for Edmonton Oilers fans after the team extended its run of pain with a 5-2 loss to the Predators, which meant there was plenty to talk about on the Monday episode of the Real Life podcast.Kicking off the Monday episode of Real Life, the boys started with a conversation about how depressing the Oilers' situation is right now. With a 2-7-1 record to start the season, the Oilers couldn't do much worse if they tried. Then again, at least they're better than the Sharks, right? RIGHT?! The Oilers talk didn't last even a minute, though, as Chalmers immediately changed the topic so he could lament about the Arizona Cardinals. Turning back to hockey, the guys wondered how the Oilers could have so much skill on the roster while still being unable to put it all together. How can they up the urgency? How can they pull each other into the fight? After spending most of the podcast trying to figure out the Oilers, the conversation turned to TV shows that have gone on for decades. From The Si

There's nothing better than wrapping up your week with a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast to make sense of what's happening in the world.Kicking off the Thursday episode of the podcast, the guys started with a random conversation about Celine Dion after Wanye read some news that he absolutely had to share while the intro was rolling. Needless to say, hearing that the Canadian pop icon isn't doing well was enough to merit a quick conversation. Changing gears, the guys looked at the Oilers' Halloween outfits and how the boys really leaned into the Harry Potter theme. However, not everyone was dressed as a wizard, as players like Leon Draisaitl, Mattias Ekholm, and Connor McDavid went the couples costume route. Changing gears, the guys then looked at the economics of podcasting after Tyler taught the guys that there's a podcast in New York that pays Aaron Boone over $1 million/year to be a guest on their show. Hearing about an active MLB manager being on podcasts had the guys wondering what it would be lik

The Heritage Classic is in the books, and the Oilers defeated the Flames with a dominating 5-2 win, which meant there was plenty to talk about on the Monday episode of the Real Life podcast. Kicking off the Monday episode of Real Life, we started with a recap of what was a very intense week in the City of Champions. With the Heritage Classic happening at Commonwealth Stadium on Sunday, something was going on every night, which ensured the boys weren't feeling their freshest this morning. As you'll hear, the Heritage Classic win turned into an afterparty at Greta, leading to a longer night than anyone expected. Wanye then told a story about his car breaking down and how he had to watch the game from a unique location. Unfortunately, that location he watched the game from was arguably the worst of all time. Lastly, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of the podcast with some food talk after all the guys ended their Sunday evening enjoying a bunch of really random foods. From ordering pizza to cold

There's nothing better than wrapping up your week with a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast to make sense of what's happening in the world. Kicking off the Thursday episode of Real Life, the guys started the podcast with a very random conversation about learning to drive. Somehow, talking about learning to drive led the guys to tell old sleepwalking and sleep-talking stories for the next 15 minutes. As you'll hear, there's a lot of strangeness going on with the fellas on this podcast. Turning back to the Oilers, the guys broke down Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Wild and how that had to be one of the most disheartening losses in recent memory. Not only did the Oilers blow three separate leads in that game, but they also gave us one of the worst third periods you could ever imagine. Changing gears, Chalmers brought back his Keeping It 100 segment and promised to do it every Thursday episode. As you'll hear, this week's rant was one for the ages, and the other guys struggled to keep it

It's been a trying time for Oilers fans through these first couple of weeks of the season, and that led to a spicy Monday episode of the Real Life podcast.Kicking off the Monday episode of Real Life, the guys got going with the Sam Gagner contract news that came out earlier this morning. Now that Gagner is getting set to kick off his year with the Condors, we wondered how long it may take for Samwise to make the jump back to the NHL. From there, the guys started doing an ad read for Alberta Blue Cross before quickly getting derailed by the news of an Aqua concert that's happening while the fellas are in Seattle. Since the boys will be going to a football game on that trip to Seattle, Chalmers asked Tyler what the hell is going on with Buffalo as the Bills just dropped a game to one of the league's worst teams. Getting back to the Oilers, the guys discussed the Oilers' implosion from Saturday night and how that loss resulted from avoidable errors that simply cannot happen. And now that the team will

Thursday afternoon means the boys are back with a fresh episode of the Real Podcast, and after a big Oilers win, there were countless topics for the boys to cover.Kicking off the Thursday episode of Real Life, the guys started with a breakdown of Tuesday's win against the Nashville Predators. From Leon's dominance to Connor McDavid's ridiculous spin goal, the Oilers gave us their best effort of the season, and the results were exactly what we all needed after opening the year with two straight losses. Somehow, talking about the Oilers beating the snot out of the Predators led Chalmers to keep it 100 about how planning your life changes significantly after you have kids. So, when it comes to Halloween, it's hard for parents to hit up parties when they have to figure out what's happening with their kids first. The guys then discussed what is the best candy to give out on Halloween and whether the Chalmers family should give out pops or full-sized chocolate bars. Thankfully, the boys were able to help diffuse th

Given the hype surrounding the Edmonton Oilers in the weeks leading up to the season, it's no surprise that Nation Citizens everywhere feel salty after how things have gone so far. On the Monday episode of Real Life, the guys dig into what the hell is going on with this team, what comes next, and how they can rebound from here. Kicking off the Monday episode of Real Life, the guys got going with a look at the Oilers' 0-2 start to the season and how this was not how we expected things to go. Despite trying to find some silver linings, the reality is that it's nearly impossible to feel good about two avoidable losses. Talking about the Oilers led Tyler to tell a story from Saturday night and how an angry fan behind him almost kicked off a fight in the stands. Chalmers then talked about the Wu-Tang concert from Friday night and how it was a spectacular performance by the group even though they're older guys now. Despite being worried about the mix and guys yelling over each other, Wu-Tang and Nas put on a f

It's Thursday afternoon, the Oilers got dummied on opening night, and that meant there was plenty to talk about on the newest episode of the Real Life Podcast.Kicking off the Thursday episode of Real Life, the guys started off with a look at last night's disastrous affair in Vancouver. Needless to say, dropping the first game by a touchdown is the last thing any of us expected to happen given how hyped everyone was to get going. Changing gears, Jay told a story from last night's season launch party where a random person approached him to say that Mattias Ekholm needed hip surgery. Despite not being real, this news kept Jay awake as he scoured Twitter for any news confirming or denying it. From there, the podcast fell off the rails as you'd expect from Real Life as the guys wandered in and out of a handful of topics. From Big Brother to gas station shenanigans to betting strategies for Saturday, this was one of the spiciest episodes of Real Life that the boys have recorded in quite some time. Hosted on Acast.

It's Thursday afternoon and the pre-season is almost over, which means there was plenty to talk about on the newest episode of the Real Life Podcast. With the NHL regular season less than a week away, you'd think that the boys would spend the hour talking about the Oilers but everyone who has listened for any length of time knows that's nearly impossible. Kicking off the podcast, the boys got started with yet another discussion about the studios not being finished yet even though the guys keep saying the podcast will be moving over to Studio B. Needless to say, the HQ construction projects never seem to be finished. With that out of the way, the guys tried to break down what the hell happened with the Toronto Blue Jays after another disastrous postseason run ended in two games with only one run being scored over 18 innings. Thankfully, the Jays' demise led to Chalmers workshopping a Buck Martinez impression that sounds like nothing like the real person at all. We don't know why he's working on impression

It's Monday afternoon and the pre-season is more than half done, which means there was plenty to talk about on the newest episode of the Real Life Podcast.Kicking off the Monday episode of Real Life, the guys got started with another round of conversation about the Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce relationship. Seeing as Taylor Swift was at the Chiefs game last night in New York, there was plenty to discuss regarding their blossoming romance if you believe that it's actually legitimate. From there, the guys recapped Oilersnation Night at Century Mile from Friday night and how it was a fantastic time for everyone who attended. Changing gears, the guys teased the Season Opener party that's coming up at Greta on October 11th and how it's one of those nights that we'll really want to attend. Turning the podcast toward the Oilers, the guys talked a little bit about the pre-season and how it's tough to get excited about given that most of the jobs are already filled. Talking about the pre-season led the guys to take s

It's Thursday afternoon and the pre-season is well underway, which means there was plenty to talk about on the newest episode of the Real Life Podcast.Kicking off the podcast, the boys got started with a Chalmers rant about Mark Stone's post-game interview after he got absolutely levelled by a Kings minor-leaguer during last night's pre-season game. For Chalmers, the reaction was simply too much to bear and that led to unloading on the Vegas captain for a few minutes much to Baggedmilk's delight. After walking into the studio late, Wanye told a story about Wanye Jr. locking him out of the car while eating gummy worms the entire time. While some folks may think this story nothing more than a cute child moment, Baggedmilk believes this was a plan Wanye Jr. has been working on for quite some time. Changing gears, the guys spent some time on the Oilers' pre-season after the team pulled out an OT win last night against the Vancouver Canucks. Despite the win, the funny part about the pre-season is that no one reall

It's Monday afternoon and the pre-season is underway, which means there was plenty to talk about on the newest episode of the Real Life Podcast.With Usher announced as the halftime performer at the Super Bowl, the guys kicked off the podcast with an argument about whether or not this was the right choice. Sticking with the NFL, the guys dove into the Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift relationship and how there were a couple of guys on the podcast that don't think this is real. While Baggedmilk and Jay think the couple is legit, Wanye and Chalmers most certainly do not. Changing gears, the guys then had an extended discussion about betting and specifically why so many of us enjoy dropping a few dollars in a slot machine even though they aren't exactly the best way to make some money.Turning the podcast toward the Oilers, the guys broke down the start of the pre-season a little bit before they all ended up complaining about Edmonton putting their pre-season games behind a paywall when no one else is doing that. Tal

Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast is on deck, edited, and ready for you earholes. On today's show, the guys talked a little bit about the Oilers, got vacation recaps from Tyler and Baggedmilk, and welcomed Max Kerman from Arkells to talk about their new album.Kicking off the Thursday episode of the Real Life Podcast, the guys got started with Max Kerman from the Arkells jumping on the podcast to talk about their new album 'Laundry Pile,' how the album came together, life on the road, and whether or not his job ever gets in the way of his love of sports. As you'll hear, Max was not only generous with his time but the answers he gave were incredibly thoughtful and fun. Needless to say, the guys were pretty damned excited to have a rockstar on the podcast and have him seem like he was having a good time. With our rockstar moment out of the way, the boys turned the show back to the Oilers to spend a few minutes talking about training camp and which players specifically have the mos

It's the Thursday after the long weekend, which was the first time the guys were able to talk about the Oilersnation Open, the start of the NFL season, and everything else that was missed over the last week.Kicking off the Thursday episode of the Real Life Podcast, the guys got started with a recap of Friday's Oilersnation Open at Millwoods Golf Club and how it was another amazing day. From interacting with Nation Citizens to sponsors coming through to side bets on the course, Oilersnation's annual golf tourney is always a great time and an event you'll want to be a part of next year. With the tournament recap out of the way, Chalmers shifted the podcast with a couple of fight reviews after some mayhem broke out over the weekend and needed a full breakdown. Finally, after waiting so patiently for the first half of the podcast, Chalmers was finally able to express his excitement for the start of the NFL season. With the regular season kicking off tonight between the Chiefs and Lions, the guys workshopped a few

It's the Thursday before the launch of Sports 1440, which was the perfect time for Jason Gregor to stop by and talk about the deal and what to expect from this new endeavour.Kicking off the Thursday episode of the Real Life Podcast, the guys got started by welcoming Jason Gregor back to the podcast for the time in nearly 400 episodes to talk about Sports 1440 and how excited is he for everyone to hear what's coming. From the behind-the-scenes work that it took to bring this vision to life to putting the finishing touches on what's happening next week, moving from 1260 into this brand-new project has been a hugely rewarding challenge. Gregor also offered his perspective on why he's excited to get back on the air after hearing from so many people about how big of a hole 1260 going down has left in their lives. Changing gears, the conversation turned toward the Oilersnation Open and how this tournament is always one of the best days of the summer as Nation Citizens will be flooding the Millwoods Golf Club to rai
