Nation Real Life

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

It's Monday afternoon and rather than the usual mindless nonsense, the boys welcomed Sam Gagner back to the podcast for tKicking off the podcast, the guys got started with a surprise interview with Sam Gagner that none of the guys expected because Tyler lined it up sneakily behind the scenes. Blinded by the excitement of talking to Gagner again, the guys tried to prep as best they could before jumping onto the Zoom call to talk to the now three-time Oiler. From talking about how this PTO came together to his recovery from double hip surgery to the veterans that helped him become the player he is today, the guys covered a lot of ground in this short interview. Needless to say, everyone was extremely excited to have Gagner back on the podcast and even more excited to talk about his third time back with the Oilers. Lastly, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a collection of random topics that included a Big Brother recap, Jay's night out in the woods, and anything else they could think

It's Thursday afternoon and the boys have nothing going on, which means there was plenty to talk about on the newest episode of the Real Life Podcast.Kicking off the podcast, the guys jumped in with an extending chat about the #NationVacation to Seattle and how the guys don't believe Chalmers when he says he's coming. While he says he wants to head to Seattle with the boys, the likelihood of him actually getting on that airplane is a completely different story. Getting back to the Oilers, the guys dove into the Evan Bouchard contract news that came down yesterday, and whether or not it was a good enough deal from the team's side given that the player didn't have much leverage in terms of the negotiation. The guys also discussed the Auston Matthews contract extension that came down yesterday, and how that may affect McDavid and Draisaitl's upcoming deals. Does having Matthews come in at $13.25 mean Draisaitl and McDavid have to clear that by a substantial margin? Lastly, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episod

It's Monday afternoon and the boys have nothing going on, which means there was plenty to talk about on the newest episode of the Real Life Podcast.Kicking off the podcast, the guys jumped in with another round of podcast studio upgrades and specifically how the podcasts look on camera. As you'll hear, the work on the studios is far from done but what's been done so far has been fantastic. From there, the podcast fell off the rails as the guys couldn't seem to focus on anything for longer than a few minutes. Whether it was plugging the #NationVacation to Seattle or cooking fish in a hotel room sink, the boys struggled to maintain any one topic. What did seem to grab everyone's attention, however, was when Tyler taught the group against Bunnock, a game that consists of throwing horse ankles. That's right, horse ankles. From there, Chalmers walked through Untold: Hall of Shame, the latest installment of the Netflix docu-series that dives into the darker side of sports. Lastly, the guys wrapped up the

After taking Monday off, the guys are back with a fresh episode of The Real Life Podcast. The first part of the podcast was just Tyler and Wanye because the rest of the crew forgot what time they were supposed to start recording at. Tyler and Wanye talked about the Elks firing of Victor Cui and some other nonsense before Jay eventually showed up to the studio. They talked about the launch of the first Nation Vacation for the 2023-24 season in Seattle. It's going to be a banger of a trip that includes both hockey and football games. The crew was also recording from a newly renovated studio, which Jay quickly ripped apart. Baggedmilk finally pulled up towards the end of the podcast and gave some takes on the newest season of Big Brother. The crew also talked about a few Oilers topics like Jeff Jackson, Steve Staois, and the chances of McDavid buying the Elks. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's Thursday afternoon and the boys have nothing going on, which means there was plenty to talk about on the newest episode of the Real Life Podcast.Kicking off the podcast, the guys jumped in with a quick story about why today's episode of the podcast was recorded an hour early. What the guys didn't know before moving the pod was that the reason Jay wanted to start early was that he had a tarp run to do for Folkfest. That led Chalmers to talk about the Pigeon Lake Music Festival from last weekend and how it was a great time despite the way the booze was being dolled out. Somehow, talking about music led the boys to talk about varying scraps that kicked off online over the last week or so. Whether it was Jose Ramirez vs. Tim Anderson or the Alabama Riverboat Fight, it seems as though we're having a hard time getting together in groups here in 2023. Speaking of fights, the guys then dove into the argument that Jay kicked off on social media the other day when he compared Evan Bouchard to Justin Schultz. While

It's Thursday afternoon and the boys have nothing going on, which means there was plenty to talk about on the newest episode of the Real Life Podcast.Kicking off the podcast, the guys jumped in with a random conversation about alcohol after Baggedmilk told a quick story about having a wonderful bottle of wine over dinner last night. That led the guys to talk about their favourite house beers, their approach to drinking fancy beers, and a whole lot more. Somehow talking about beers and wine led Tyler to talk about fighting with his utilities company to get the best possible deal he can. The guys then wanted to brag about the times they worked themselves a deal. Changing gears, it's Oodle Noodle Make a Wish night at the Riverhawks game and that means another opportunity for Jay to hit another home run at RE/MAX Field. Getting back to the Oilers, the guys spent a few minutes talking about Ryan McLeod's new two-year contract and took a few guesses at what the Oilers will do with the Evan Bouchard contract. They a

For the first time in a handful of weeks, the whole gang is back together and that meant there was plenty of room for shenanigans on the Monday episode of the Real Life Podcast.Kicking off the Monday podcast, the boys got started with Tyler coming back from vacation and a conversation about how the studio only seems to work when he's in the building. From there, Tyler walked the guys through his road trip to Seattle and all of the golf he played in between. Jay was also back from his vacation to Toffino and what we learned about both trips is that the guys attract both Nation Citizens and bears no matter where they are. Somehow talking about Tyler's vacation led to Jay revealing that bananas are supposedly bad luck on fishing boats. Changing gears entirely, Chalmers finally wrapped up the Quarterback docuseries that's up on Netflix, leading the group to gush about how good sports documentaries are getting these days. Discussing sports docs led the guys to talk about how hockey needs to do a better job of

It's Thursday afternoon and the boys have nothing going on, which means there was plenty to talk about on the newest episode of the Real Life Podcast.Kicking off the podcast, the guys jumped in with a conversation about Carnival of Champions. If you're not old enough to remember, Carnival of Champions was an event that the Oilers and Elks used to put on that gave Edmontonians a chance to interact with fans. For some reason, both organizations stopped doing the event back in the day and the guys spent a few minutes reminiscing about how the 90s were a wild time. Changing gears, the boys dove into the aliens news that was all over the internet yesterday after a whistle blower revealed in Congress that the government is hiding otherworldly items. Changing gears, the conversation shifted to sports documentaries as the guys had another conversation about the Quarterback series. The football talk didn't last long, though, as the podcast was overrun with more alien talk and what the guys would do if they ended up on

The off-season is in full swing and there's no Oilers news to talk about, which meant there was plenty of room for shenanigans on the Monday episode of the Real Life Podcast.Kicking off the Monday podcast, the boys got started with a conversation about Bogdan Yakimov after Kennedy found one of his jerseys at the Oilers store despite the fact that he only played one game with the team back in 2014-15. As a result, Wanye, Baggedmilk, and Kennedy took a little stroll down memory lane at some of our former friends that we put so much faith in despite never having seen them play. Changing gears entirely, Chalmers broke down a few fights from K-Days that popped up on YEG Wave, which led everyone to talk about whether or not the festival is even worth attending anymore. Somehow, this discussion about K-Days led Chalmers to wonder about 'Boy Dinner' vs. 'Girl Dinner' and how all of us enjoy a small snack dinner from time to time. Pivoting yet again, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of the podcast with a random

It's Thursday afternoon and the boys have nothing going on, which meant there was plenty to talk about on the newest episode of the Real Life Podcast.Kicking off the podcast, the guys jumped in with yet another discussion about paying 15 cents for paper bags at fast food restaurants and how Liam somehow just learned about the whole thing. That led to another round of complaints about paper straws and how we absolutely need to advance the technology. As you'll hear, apparently everyone has beef with saving the environment. Changing gears, Wanye talked about his plans for Wanye Jr. and when he plans to bring him to the Oilers store to deck out the little man with merch. That led the gang to talk about how nuts merch can get if you're an avid collector, including what happens if you get involved in some locker room bids. Changing gears, Wanye and Kennedy wanted to talk about T-Swift a little bit after another incident at a concert went viral and had Wanye dialled in. That led the squad to talk about how it's nic

The off-season is in full swing and there's no Oilers news to talk about, which meant there was plenty of room for shenanigans on the Monday episode of the Real Life Podcast.Kicking off the Monday podcast, the boys got started with a little golf tourney promo that led to Liam telling a few stories from yesterday's round of golf with Tyler, Jay, and Chalmers. As you'll hear, Liam is not very good at the sport but the same cannot be said for those he was playing against. After showing up late to the podcast, Chalmers wanted to spend a little more time Jay's home run from last Thursday and how it was an incredible afternoon. With that out of the way, the guys got into all kinds of nonsense that ranged from toilet talk, where Tyler went, public art, and why Liam and Kennedy were sitting in on the podcast. Lastly, the squad wrapped up the Monday episode of the Real Life podcast with a Puckdoku breakdown as today's question featured an Oilers row, and we all know how much easier things get if our hometown squad is

The day finally came. Jay Downton took on ReMax Field and attempted to hit a home run at the famous Edmonton ballpark. Immediatley following the Home Run Derby, the guys sat on the field and knocked out a fresh episode of the podcast. They talked about the journey, their day at the park, the made up controversy surrounding the dinger, and what their next athletic feat should be. From there, they also talked a little bit about some Nation Vacation and let you in on how you could golf with either Tyler and Liam or Jay and Chalmers at the Oilersnation Open in September at the Millwoods Golf Club!

The off-season is in full swing and there's no Oilers news to talk about, which meant there was plenty of room for shenanigans on the Monday episode of the Real Life Podcast.Kicking off the Monday podcast, the boys gave the people exactly what you'd expect from an off-season episode of Real Life, meaning that they wandered all over the map before the show was even five minutes old. From Puckdoku being impossible to Chalmers' nerdy Wordle group chat to Wanye's ziplock bag wallet, this has to be one of the most random episodes of the pod that you've heard in quite some time. Trying to get the show back on the rails, the guys dove into some of the TV shows they're watching right now and how it can be a grind to fill your time when you're so used to sports taking up so much real estate. Changing gears again, the guys then talked about Oilersnation's night out at the Riverhawks game on Friday night and how it's always a great time down at the ballpark. Sticking with the Riverhawks, the guys walked through Thursday

Free agency is well underway, Chalmers showed up prepared with 10 topics, and that meant the boys had plenty to talk about on the 500th episode of the Real Life podcast.Kicking off the Thursday edition of the Real Life podcast, the guys got started with an argument about the 500th episode as some of the boys didn't know it was a milestone episode despite Tyler warning everyone days earlier. From there, Chalmers got into his list of topics, starting with Rick Ross' struggles on the diving board. With that first topic out of the way, the guys pivoted to the NHL Draft as Tyler and Jay told a few stories from their time in Nashville and how it was interesting to experience the spectacle from the draft floor. With the boring draft stuff out of the way, the boys then talked about some of the shenanigans that happened behind the scenes in Nashville, including some run-ins with Biz, Craig Button, and Mark Messier. From there, the guys dove into the home run derby that's set to take place at RE/MAX field next week. Af

The NHL Draft has come and gone, Kailer Yamamoto got traded to Detroit, and that meant the boys on the Real Life Podcast had a whole lot to talk about despite not really talking about any of it. Kicking off the Thursday episode of Real Life, the guys got started with the story about Wanye missing the Monday show with food poisoning and how it was a heartbreaking event given where it all happened. Somehow Wanye being ill led the guys to talk about random cocktails that have made him sick over the years. Changing gears entirely, Baggedmilk and Wanye talked about Bill C-18 that's popping up in Canada and how Meta and Google are combating the bill by suppressing Canadian content from their news feed. Needless to say, this news is less than ideal when it comes to our business. Changing gears, the boys spent the next few minutes talking about Kailer Yamamoto and Klim Kostin getting traded to the Detroit Red Wings and how it's such a bummer to lose both players for literally nothing. Lastly, the guys wrapped up

AMA Travel has sent us back on the road! Jay and Tyler are down in Nashville for the NHL Draft and they recorded a little bonus episode of the podcast to talk about their adventures on night one of the trip. They had sweet seats at the NHL Awards, saw both Connor Bedard and Connor McDavid, and they put back a few beverages at the after-party. It was a wild start to their week in Music City.Huge shoutout to this episode’s sponsors: Star Mechanical: https://starmechanical.ca Betway: https://betway.com/en-ca/  AMA Travel: https://www.amatravel.ca/Dream Wilhauk Beef Jerky: https://www.wilhaukbeefjerky.com Hosted on Acast.

Tyler and Jay are in Nashville for the NHL Entry Draft and Chalmers and Wanye forgot to show up for the Monday recording, which meant Baggedmilk put together one of the most random episodes of the Real Life Podcast in quite some time.Seeing as I was in control of the Real Life Podcast since the boys were all away or forgot we record these every week at the same time, I invited everyone that was sitting around at Nation HQ to join me for a quick chat about life. Kicking things off, I started the Monday episode of the podcast with some stories about going to the Elks game last night and how I had a great time despite the team being generally terrible. That prompted me to ask the boys when the last time they went to Commonwealth Stadium was for a football game. That led us to talk about sneaking into events and how some places make it so easy provided that you walk in with conviction. Getting back to hockey, we looked ahead at tonight's NHL Awards that are set to take place at Bridgestone Arena and we took a few

The NHL Draft is quickly approaching, free agency is too, and that meant the boys on the Real Life Podcast had plenty to talk about despite not actually touching on any of it.Kicking off the Thursday episode of Real Life, the guys started with a conversation about how much swearing happens on the podcast and whether the guys should try and curb the habit. With the cursing discussion out of the way, the guys dove into the Titan submersible story that everyone is talking about and how it is a wild story to follow in every single capacity. That led the guys to talk about what activities they would avoid as a means of self-preservation. Changing gears entirely, Chalmers asked the listeners for some parenting advice as he is reaching a point in his parenthood where his oldest son is getting his first cell phone. As you'd expect, the advice the boys came up with ranged from acceptable to entirely awful. Unsurprisingly, the rest of the podcast was littered with a laundry list of topics that ranged from home care to
