Nation Real Life

Today was trade deadline day in the NHL and we have a brand new episode of The Real Life Podcast to give you our take on how things shook down in Edmonton and around the NHL! Ken Holland didn't get a lot done and didn't make a move for Taylor Hall. Those two things have a lot of people fired up around Oilersnation and for the most part, we think there might be some overreaction to what transpired today. We went through it all in episode 272! Aside from the trade talk, we also talked about how the Oilers roster stacks up heading into the playoffs, got into a brief recap of The Masters, and got some stories about Yaremchuk's days as a little league baseball umpire.

We're on the back half of the workweek and that means a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast is here and ready to get you to the weekend. On today’s show, the guys looked at the NHL trade deadline, Connor and Leon's dominance over the Sens, and welcomed Scott Hastings from OddsShark to break down the latest NHL news and what’s going on in the world of sports gambling. To kick things off, the boys jumped in with a look at Oodle Noodle radio ads and specifically some of the ideas that Wanye will try to work with for the next round of commercials. Getting back to the Oilers, the boys discussed some of the rumours that are circulating around the team and whether or not the team will be able to get anything done. The guys also spent some time on Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl putting on a clinic against the Senators, and reiterated just how lucky we all are to watch them on a nightly basis. Finally, the guys wrapped up today’s podcast by welcoming Scott Hastings from OddsShark to help break down the latest be

Welcome to another episode of The Real Life Podcast! Today on the show, the guys were joined by a handful of guests starting with a trio of students from NAIT who talked about a new initiative that could be coming to Edmonton soon! They also talked about a stadium full of fans in Texas right now before getting into a conversation that Yaremchuk had with three-time Olympic medalist Meaghan Mikkelson!   To kick things off, https://www.seasonticket.ca/, Niki, Katherine, and Real joined the podcast to talk about the business idea that won them a contest at NAIT. It's a unique idea that could help more Oilers fans get into Rogers Place once it is safe to do so. From there, they got into some talk about the Blue Jays vs Rangers game and how the stadium is packed with fans. To wrap up this week's episode, Yaremchuk talked to Meaghan Mikkelson about her new gig with Sportsnet, the state and future of the professional women's game, and how the Oilers have been playing recently!

Another week is winding down and that means a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast is here and ready to get you to the weekend. On today’s show, the guys looked at the struggles of moving, fight tips, and welcomed Scott Hastings from OddsShark to break down the latest NHL news and what’s going on in the world of sports gambling. To kick things off, the boys got started with a discussion about everyone on the podcast seemingly getting ready to move or currently moving. As it turns out, basically everyone on the podcast is either moving or getting set to move and it all came out in a series of nonsensical stories that made no sense at all. Somehow, that conversation turned into everyone's favourite prison tips and practical ways to win a fistfight. Finally getting around to the Oilers, the boys started to complain about the way the last game went against Montreal before the chat was immediately derailed by Tinder talk. Finally, the guys wrapped up today’s podcast by welcoming Scott Hastings from OddsShark to

It’s a windy Monday afternoon here in Edmonton but your day is about to get a whole lot better now that we have a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast recorded and ready to help you get through the week. On today’s show, the guys covered the Oilers’ collapse against the Leafs, playoff matchups, and a whole lot more. To start off the Monday episode of Real Life, the boys got derailed right off the jump after the Oodle Noodle ad read turned into a conversation about the boys' approach to menus and restaurants. From ordering the same thing over and over again to comparing the quality of cold beers, the opening of the Monday episode of Real Life was the exact opposite of what Yaremchuk had planned on. Getting back to hockey, Tyler noticed that Jay was dancing around using the term 'playoffs' so that prompted a conversation about what the Oilers need to do to actually clinch a spot. Speaking of playoffs, the guys also had a conversation about whether there is any specific opponent they'd like the Oilers to face

Welcome to a brand new episode of the Real Life Podcast! Today's show had a heavy business theme as Tyler, Jay and Wanye were joined by Chris LaBossiere, who is The Nation Networks' newest partner. Chris talked about his life as an entrepreneur, his come-up, and his passion for Edmonton. Yaremchuk also asked him about his impressive collection of Canadian Tire money!   Wanye let Chris know about his dream of launching 'Nation Limo 2.0' and also recalled the time where he applied to be an intern for one of Chris's companies and was denied. It's an exciting new chapter for Oilersnation and The Nation Network, so of course we had to break it all down today on the podcast! We were also joined by our friend Scott Hastings from Oddsshark who gave us some March Madness betting advice and his usual Thursday Night Parlay!

It’s a brisk Monday afternoon here in Edmonton but your day is about to get a whole lot better now that there’s a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast in the books to help you get through the week. On today’s show, the guys covered the Oilers' current winning streak, previewed the upcoming week against the Habs, and a whole lot more. To start off the Monday episode of Real Life, the boys jumped in with a look at the last week for the Edmonton Oilers and how they've been finding different ways to win hockey games. Whether it was a blowout game as we saw against the Flames or a defensive lockdown effort as we saw against the Jets, the Oilers have really turned their season around after starting the year with a 3-6 record. From there, the boys played Would You Rather with Tyler after listeners submitted some of the strangest possible 'this or that' style of questions they could possibly come up with. Lastly, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a brand new listener profile from what certain

Another week is set to wrap and that means a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast is here and ready to get you to the weekend. On today’s show, the guys looked at broadcasting homers, spoke to Jason Strudwick about the Oilers’ win over the Flames and what to expect from the Jets, and welcomed Scott Hastings from OddsShark to break down the latest NHL news and what’s going on in the world of sports gambling. To kick things off, the boys jumped in with a recap of last night's win against the Calgary Flames and how the boys got themselves dialled in for a game they really needed to win. They also discussed the Flames broadcast crew and how some Oilers were upset about how 'homer' they were during the game. Are they more biased than Jack and Louie? It's a fair question. Next up, the boys welcomed Jason Strudwick to the podcast to discuss the last week in Oilers land, the defence, and what to expect from tonight's battle against the Jets. From there, the guys derailed the show once again and forced Tyler to talk

It’s a lovely Monday afternoon in the capital city and your day is about to get better now that there’s a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast ready to help you get through the week. On today’s show, the guys covered Yaremchuk's hero status, the Oilers' to-do list, betting, and a whole lot more. To start off the Monday episode of Real Life, the boys jumped in with a quick update about Tyler being a hero and how things are looking at his in-law's house after last week's flood. As it turns out, the damage may have been more serious than initially expected, which prompted another round of jokes about whether or not Yaremchuk can truly carry the hero title. From there, the conversation turned to the Buffalo Sabres who have been absolutely terrible this season and whether or not we're allowed to make fun of them right now. Back to the Oilers, the guys walked through Josh Park's photoshop from this morning about a potential Oilers to-do list for the upcoming months/offseason, but as you would expect, the guys cou

Another week is wrapping up and that means a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast is set and ready to get you set for the weekend. On today’s show, the guys looked at COVID's anniversary, spoke to Jason Strudwick about the Oilers' success over the Sens, and welcomed Scott Hastings from OddsShark to break down the latest NHL news and what’s going on in the world of sports gambling. To kick things off, Tyler and Baggedmilk got started with a look back at the last year as today is the anniversary of when COVID-19 really started changing things around us. From the NBA shutting down during the Oilers/Jets game to toilet paper hoarders making TP mountains in their basement, it goes without saying that the past 12 months have been stranger than either of the boys could have ever expected. With that out of the way, Jason Strudwick joined the show to talk about the Oilers' current heater and how much has changed since last week's debacle against the Maple Leafs. The guys also asked Struds about McDrai remaining toge

It’s a snowy Monday afternoon here in Edmonton but the good news is that there's a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast ready to help you get through the week. On today’s show, the guys covered Tyler's adventures in homesitting, the Oilers beating the Flames, a series preview against the Senators, and a whole lot more. To start off the Monday episode of Real Life, the boys jumped in with a story from Tyler's weekend as the young producer was tasked with watching his inlaws home while they were away on vacation. While this seems like a normal enough job that many people have handled in their lives, it's not often when you pop in to check on the house your watching only to have the basement completely flooded. Needless to say, the boys had a lot of fun busting Tyler's balls as he was telling his tale and it made for a very good time for everyone apart from Yaremchuk. Trying to get the show back on the rails, the conversation turned back to the Oilers and how impressed everyone was with Saturday night's win ov

It’s a beautiful Thursday afternoon in Edmonton and that means a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast is set and ready to get you through the week. On today’s show, the guys covered the disastrous series against the Leafs, where the boys go from here, and spoke to Scott Hastings from OddsShark to break down the latest NHL news and what’s going on in the world of sports gambling. To kick things off, the boys got started with a look at the disastrous three-game series the Oilers just wrapped up against the Leafs, including their takes on what went wrong and what needs to happen to right the ship. From the goaltenders allowing softies to the players spacing out in all three zones on the ice, this series was a complete gong show for three straight nights and they got the result they deserved. From there, the show fell off the rails again as the boys started talking about merkins and Jay filling a Preggo can with gas back when he was in high school. Next up, Tyler tried to get the show back on track with a brand

Kicking off today's podcast, the boys got started with a look at the Oilers incredible heater of late, including the unbelievable comeback win against the Canucks from Tuesday night. From the way the Oilers were able to stop the bleeding after a tough first period to battling back with four-straight goals to close out the win, that had to be one of the most emotional and impressive wins of the season. Changing gears, the guys welcomed Jason Strudwick back to the podcast to talk about the Oilers and some of the steps they've taken as the season has progressed. From Darnell Nurse's fine play to Caleb Jones b

Kicking things off, the podcast got started with a look at what was a huge weekend for the Oilers after they swept the Flames this past weekend. They also looked at what those two BOA wins means for the team's confidence, and how everyone feels to see the boys climbing up the standings as a result. Next up, Baggedmilk got everyone caught up with the latest podcast reviews as listeners of the podcast always come through with some hilarious takes as they always do. From there, the conversation turned to Saturday night's #BeetCast after Chalmers made an appearance and completely stole the show. Needless to say, Baggedmilk did not expect the bag of tricks his co-host was going to open up on the liv

We also touched on his journey into coaching, the Oilers recent play, and all the talk around Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. As we do every Thursday, we also dug into the world of NHL betting with Scott Hastings from Oddsshark. Scott looked into some futures bets and also gave us his favourite picks for tonight.

Happy Family Day, Nation! Even though it's a holiday, we've still got a brand new episode of the Real Life Podcast to get your week started. On today's show, the guys covered Tom Brady's Super Bowl celebration, stonks, the Edmonton Oilers, and a whole lot more. Kicking things off, the podcast got started with a classic Chalmers rant about fast food delivery, which somehow tied into an Oodle Noodle ad that Jay probably would have hated had he been on the podcast. When things finally got back on track, the guys looked at Lorraine Grohs' viral video from the weekend after she complained about Tom Brady throwing the Lombardi Trophy from boat to boat during the Super Bowl celebration. Needless to say, the reactions to the video were hilarious. From there, the conversation took a turn back to the Stonk Market, allowing Baggedmilk and Wanye to give their hottest takes from the world of investing. Back to the Oilers, the guys looked at tonight's matchup against the Winnipeg Jets and tried to figure out whether or not

It’s a frosty Thursday here in Edmonton but the good news is that there’s a brand new episode of the Real Life Podcast to keep you warm with the hottest of takes. This week, the guys spoke to TSN's Frank Seravalli about the DFO Rundown, previewed tonight's game against the Montreal Canadiens, and spoke to Scott Hastings from OddsShark to break down the latest NHL news and what's going on in the world of sports gambling. Kicking things off, the boys jumped in with a look around the NHL and the breaking news that the Oilers' game was going to be pushed back by an hour as a result of COVID protocols. After the shock wore off and the speculation calmed a little, the guys welcomed TSN's Frank Seravalli to talk about his rise as one of hockey's premier insiders, his new podcast with the Nation Network called the DFO Rundown, and what it's like to navigate the evolving media climate. He was also incredibly generous with his time and even answered our ridiculous questions about rumours, developing relationships, and

It's a frosty Monday here in the capital city but the good news is that there's a brand new episode of the Real Life Podcast to get you started. This week, the guys covered last night’s Super Bowl, previewed the Oilers' upcoming series against the Senators, and a whole lot more.   Kicking things off, the podcast got started with a recap from this past weekend as there were a ton of sports to get to, including the first Battle of Alberta and a Super Bowl that saw Tom Brady win a record seventh championship. Starting with the Oilers, Saturday's Battle of Alberta was a tough loss to swallow based on how the team played and how the team probably could have won had they been able to get a save. Will things turn around now that Mike Smith is back? We shall see. Changing gears to last night's Super Bowl, everyone to a man complained about how boring the game was while still picking out some positives from football's biggest stage. Staying local, the guys looked at the finalists for the Edmonton Football Team's new n

Another Thursday has landed on your calendars which means a brand new episode of the Real Life Podcast is here to keep you entertained, informed, and get you all set for the weekend. This week, the guys looked at the Tiger documentary on HBO, appreciation generational talents, and spoke to Scott Hastings from OddsShark to break down the Super Bowl and the latest news from the world of sports gambling.   To kick off the podcast, the guys got started with a look at the recent Tiger Woods documentary that came out on HBO and what it took to create a legend. From his upbringing on the links to his meteoric rise to superstardom, Tiger Woods' life was fascinating and getting to learn a little bit about what happened behind the scenes was endlessly illuminating. Steering things back to the Oilers, the Woods conversation prompted a conversation about how important it is to appreciate greatness — like Connor McDavid *cough cough* — while you have the chance. Interrupted by some quick stock talk, the podcast turned tow
