  • March Madness, Shohei Ohtani's translator, and a little bit of Oilers talk

    21/03/2024 Duración: 53min

    It's Thursday afternoon, and that means a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast is all set and ready to massage your earholes. This week, the guys discussed the start of March Madness, the big Shohei Ohtani news, and gave a few takes on the Edmonton Oilers while they were at it. Kicking off the Thursday episode of Real Life, the guys got started with a look at the Oilersnation March Madness bracket and how one of the favourites has already been eliminated from the tournament. With brackets across the Nation ruined after only one game, the guys had a good time walking through the first couple hours of the NCAA's big moment. Changing gears, the guys spent the next few minutes talking about sports betting after the news broke this week that Shohei Ohtani's translator was fired for allegedly gambling on sports. Given how much money some of these companies are investing in pro leagues, is it really surprising to find out that people close to the game are putting bets down?Turning the podcast back to the

  • Tyler gets engaged... for real this time

    18/03/2024 Duración: 57min

    It's time for your regularly scheduled Monday afternoon episode of the Real Life Podcast. Only this time, the boys had some major news to talk about after Tyler finally got engaged to his lovely girlfriend, and it's not even a bit this time.Kicking off the Monday pod, the guys started with the breaking news from this past weekend that Tyler Yaremchuk got engaged to his longtime girlfriend. Given that this has been a running bit on the podcast for several years now, some people thought the engagement was a joke, but he actually did it for real this time. Changing gears, the guys then recapped Jay's vacation to Hawaii and the business trip he took immediately afterward to Copenhagen to meet our new business daddies at Better Collective. As you'd imagine, going from Hawaii straight to Denmark is quite the piece of travel, and bopping all over the planet the way he has over the last couple of weeks has him feeling upside down.Lastly, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of the podcast with a collection of

  • Connor Brown's big night, the squirrels are back at Tyler's, and a mouse update from Wanye Manor

    14/03/2024 Duración: 01h02min

    It's Thursday afternoon, and that means a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast is all set and ready to massage your earholes. This week, the guys discussed Connor Brown's first goal of the season and Zach Hyman's delayed hat trick and walked through another mouse update from Wanye Manor. Kicking off the podcast, the guys started with a look back at last night's Oilers game and how it was one of the most fun games the boys have been to that was essentially meaningless. From Connor Brown scoring a big goal to Zach Hyman's delayed hat trick announcement, last night's 7-2 win over the Washington Capitals was arguably one of the most fun games we've ever attended. Changing gears, Wanye gave the first mouse update from Wanye Manor in quite some time after he found another wee lad in his basement. Even though he thought this issue was all cleared up long ago, he quickly realized that was not the case at all after moving his couch downstairs and seeing another mouse staring back at him. Las

  • Food takes, Oilers at the trade deadline recap, and a March Madness bracket challenge

    11/03/2024 Duración: 01h07min

    It's Monday afternoon, and that means it's time for a fresh episode of the Real Life podcast to make sense of the world around us. This week, the guys discussed the Oilers' trade deadline and food takes and talked about some player movement that's happening in the NFL. Starting off the Monday episode of Real Life, the podcast kicked off with a friendly banter about why this podcast hasn't had a new intro in months, immediately transitioning to Tyler's Door Dash order from Saturday. This casual conversation about food delivery led the hosts down a delightful rabbit hole of food takes, making the audience feel like they're part of the conversation. Shifting the focus back to the Oilers, the hosts walked the audience through Edmonton's rollercoaster weekend. From a disappointing performance in Buffalo on Saturday to a satisfying rebound against the Penguins on Sunday, the inconsistency in their game was undeniably frustrating.The guys then discussed what the Vegas Golden Knights were able to do at the

  • The Oilers making deals ahead of the trade deadline, and a mitt full of shenanigans

    07/03/2024 Duración: 54min

    It's Thursday afternoon, and that means a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast is all set and ready to massage your earholes. This week, the guys were talking all about the NHL Trade Deadline after the Oilers pulled off a pair of trades leading up to the March 8th buzzer.Kicking off the Thursday episode of Real Life, the guys jumped in with a look at the two trades the Oilers have made so far. In one of those deals, Ken Holland bolstered the forward depth with the addition of Adam Henrique and Sam Carrick. In the second deal, Holland added another defender as he moved a 2027 4th-round pick to the Arizona Coyotes in exchange for Troy Stecher.Changing gears, Liam told the story of his virtual golf league and how he's dangerously close to having to sit in a Denny's for 24 hours as the league's loser. That led the guys to wonder how many pancakes they could eat after the rules of this golf group allow an hour to be taken off their time at Denny's for every pancake consumed. The most surprising part of the conve

  • Hip Hop stories, NHL salaries, and Tyler interviews Chris Pronger for O.N.E.

    04/03/2024 Duración: 57min

    It's Monday afternoon, and that means it's time for a fresh episode of the Real Life podcast to make sense of the world around us. Kicking off the podcast, the guys started the show with a collection of random topics, including Sidney Crosby's career earnings, what the Oilers may do at the trade deadline, and some hip hop talk. Why is that how the podcast started? It's a fair question, but also completely expected, given the way this show goes. Changing gears, Tyler told the story about interviewing Chris Pronger this morning at West Edmonton Mall. Despite Wanye's complaints about the way Pronger's tenure in Edmonton ended, Tyler explained how cool it was to interview an NHL Hall of Famer and ask a few questions about the 2006 Cup run. Lastly, the guys wrapped up the first show of the week with more random topics, including which WEM entrance we park at and why Tyler should never cross Wanye for any reason. Despite having topics prepped for this week's show, this one was one of those podcasts w

  • Some love for Moose Jaw, the Oilers won again, and mapping out Nation Con

    29/02/2024 Duración: 01h02min

    Thursday afternoon means it's time for a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast, the show where the guys probably should talk about the Edmonton Oilers but probably won't get there in the end.Kicking off the Thursday episode of Real Life, the guys got started with a conversation about producer Pat Puff after he came through with a big save yesterday during Oilersnation Everyday when the Internet went down mid-show. Seeing that there was a problem, Pat jumped to attention and saved the day by joining the broadcast to keep things going while Frank Seravalli was talking about the trade deadline. With the praising of Pat out of the way, the conversation turned to Wanye's trip to Moose Jaw from last weekend. Even though that trip had nothing to do with anything, the guys still spent 20 minutes talking about it anyway. After discussing everything from Mac the Moose to the Al Capone tunnels, the conversation somehow turned to West Edmonton Mall and how much Bourbon Street has changed over the last two decades.&

  • The Oilers struggles, Knoblauch's line combos, and some visitors from out of town

    26/02/2024 Duración: 56min

    The snow is flying in Edmonton, the Oilers lost their third straight game against the hated Calgary Flames, and that meant a whole lot for the boys to talk about on the Monday episode of Real Life.Kicking off the podcast, the guys started the podcast by welcoming Dooks from Australia and Brandon from Illinois to the podcast to talk about their respective trips to Edmonton to watch the Oilers. From the way Nation Citizens have stepped up to make their trips feel more special to experiencing Rogers Place for the first time, it was so much fun to hear the boys talk about what it's been like to visit our city and view it through their eyes. Getting back to the regularly scheduled programming, the guys tried to figure out what the hell is happening with the Edmonton Oilers and why the team seems to be struggling so immensely right now. For whatever reason, the Oilers are playing as porously as they were early in the season, and the result is giving up goals en masse, and those lapses are costing them games.La

  • Watching a game at Mullett Arena, Oilers lose to the Bruins, and Evan Bouchard's contract

    22/02/2024 Duración: 55min

    The boys are back from the Arizona #NationVacation, which meant there was a lot to talk about on the Thursday episode of the Real Life podcast.Kicking off the podcast, the guys got started with a recap of the trip to Scottsdale and how it was one of the greatest weekends any of the guys have ever experienced. From going to a game at Mullett Arena to the pre and post-game show at Devil's Advocate to cruising around in autonomous cars, there were plenty of stories to cover despite the trip being only 47 hours.Getting back to the Oilers, the guys walked through the experience of watching the game in a rink that small and how it was an electric environment to watch a game. To put it lightly, it was absolutely bananas to go to an away game in another country that felt just like a home game at Rogers Place. The unfortunate part is that there's no way an arena that small should be part of the National Hockey League so everyone just felt lucky that they were able to experience it at least once.Finally, the guys wrapp

  • Worldly doppelgangers, Jordan Eberle trade rumours, and the #NationVacation countdown

    15/02/2024 Duración: 53min

    Thursday afternoon means it's time for a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast, the show where the guys want to talk about the Edmonton Oilers but probably won't get there in the end.Kicking off the podcast, the guys got started with a random collection of topics, including an homage to the Crushed Can in Moose Jaw and a conversation about whether or not Chinese Elon Musk is real. While everyone other than Wanye thinks fake Elon is a real person, one of the greatest things to happen in the social media era is having all of these celebrity look-alikes popping up all over the world.Getting back to the Oilers, the boys discussed the Jordan Eberle rumour, as varying insiders have linked the Oilers to their former friends as a potential trade target. The guys also talked about this weekend's trip down to Arizona for the #NationVacation, and how they all think Mullett Arena will be half-full of Oilers fans. Could it be possible that the place will have more Oilers fans than Coyotes fans?Lastly, the guys wrapped up

  • The Super Bowl, Usher's halftime show, and planning Connor McDavid's wedding

    12/02/2024 Duración: 01h06min

    The boys were all in the studio for once, The Super Bowl needed recapping, and that meant a whole lot for the boys to talk about on the Monday episode of Real Life. Kicking off the podcast, the guys started with a recap of The Super Bowl before the conversation was quickly derailed by Chalmers trying to explain why he missed last Thursday's episode. Instead of getting back to The Super Bowl, they then spent some time talking about the City and Colour concert at Rogers Place on Saturday night and how it was a fantastic evening of music even though Dallas Green didn't play some of the hits. Getting back to football, the guys walked through The Super Bowl between the 49ers and Chiefs and how the start of that football game was so incredibly boring. Thankfully, the back half picked up significantly before having the game reach its conclusion on a perfect drive by Pat Mahomes in OT. With three championships in the last five seasons, is Mahomes putting himself into the conversation to be one of the greate

  • Oilers trade rumours, starting a new win streak, and the #NationVacation to Arizona

    08/02/2024 Duración: 55min

    Thursday afternoon means it's time for a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast, the show where the guys want to talk about the Edmonton Oilers but probably won't get there in the end. Kicking off the podcast, the guys got started as randomly as you'd expect from this podcast. First, Tyler revealed that he forgot his iPad on the plane on his way back from Toronto and how his own laziness is preventing him from going back to the airport to pick it up. He also touched on the continued neighbour drama on his street and how the levels of pettiness have risen to unprecedented levels. Turning the podcast back toward the Oilers, the guys walked through the Oilers' loss to Las Vegas and how it was a tough pill to swallow, given how well the visitors played in that contest. Yet, despite the hard-fought battle, some fans took the result way harder than they should have. If you read some of the comments at Oilersnation.com and on our social media, you'd think the Oilers had just lost 16 games in a ro

  • NHL All-Star Game, celebrity sightings, and the Oilers shoot for 17 straight wins

    05/02/2024 Duración: 58min

    The boys are back from Toronto, All-Star Game weekend has wrapped, and everyone was back in Edmonton for the first in-studio episode of Real Life in quite some time. Kicking off the podcast, the guys started with a recap from Toronto and what the boys experienced in the days leading up to the NHL's annual all-star weekend. From the moment the boys arrived in Toronto until the time everyone got back to Edmonton, there was so much going on in the 6ix that it took almost half the podcast to get through all of the stories. From Bublé's confession at the player draft to the way the players navigated the skills competition and the game itself, there was plenty to talk about after what was a very busy few days on the road.Changing gears, the guys spoke about the 4 Nations tournament between Canada, the USA, Finland, and Sweden that the NHL will hold next year during a similar break that the players would get for the Olympics. While some of the guys appreciate the idea of best-on-best, others feel like a tournam

  • Two-Time Olympic Gold Medalist John Morris & a welcome to Trav4Oilers

    03/02/2024 Duración: 57min

    With the guys busy al NHL All-Star weekend, Tyler handled today's episode of the podcast and was joined by two guests. First off, he was joined by two-time Olympic gold medalist John Morris. One of the most decorated curlers of his era, Morris hopped on the pod and shared stories of his career. He talked about his experience at the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, and had a hilarious story about the condom usage at the athletes village. He also played a little rapid fire and since he's a die-hard Oilers fan, he also talked about how much he's loving the 16-game winning streak and told Tyler about the best Oilers game he ever attended.Tyler was then joined by new teammate Trav4Oilers. He's a goalie vlogger and had some cool stories about his life in various pro-hockey leagues. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  • The Oilers' perfect January, smoked meat, and Jay's lofty trade deadline plan

    29/01/2024 Duración: 56min

    The Oilers just wrapped up a perfect month of January, Chalmers was back with a tooth-brushing update, and that meant a whole lot to talk about on the Monday episode of the Real Life podcast. Kicking off the podcast, the boys got started with a fresh round of podcast reviews that included a truckload of feedback regarding Chalmers' dental hygiene. In terms of connecting with the audience, it's been a minute since any show stories have landed as well as this one. Changing gears, the podcast turned toward Chalmers' gripe with smoking meat. Even though he's always dreamt of being a meat smoker guy, the fact that he doesn't like the food he produces is absolutely hilarious. Changing gears, the guys spent the next few minutes discussing the Nation Vacation to Arizona that's coming up in a few short weeks and why you need to be a part of this trip. With only four spots available, the guys tried to incentivize signing up with some of the worst ideas humanly possible. Sticking with the Oilers, Jay laid out

  • The Edmonton Oilers may never lose again, and Tyler's salary cap game

    26/01/2024 Duración: 57min

    It's amazing how much more fun it is to talk about the Edmonton Oilers in the midst of a 14-game heater than it was when they started the season at 2-9-1.Kicking off the Thursday episode of Real Life, the guys looked at the Oilers' incredible winning streak and how they have an opportunity to cash in on a 15th consecutive victory. Talking about the win streak led the guys to swoon about Sam Gagner's contributions to the team and how they cannot wait to see him play his first playoff game with the team that drafted him. Changing gears, Tyler told a story about his basement flooding this morning. If you remember, this is the second flooded basement he's been involved in, but now it's in his own house instead of his father-in-law's house.Turning the podcast back toward the Oilers, the guys tried to determine whether the Oilers would have been able to get close to their current level if Jay Woodcroft had not been around. Or has Kris Knoblauch changed things enough to have the Oilers buzzing the way they are? Comb

  • The Jasper recap finale, and breaking down Corey Perry signing with the Oilers

    22/01/2024 Duración: 57min

    Monday afternoon meant another episode of the Real Life Podcast to kick off your week and recap what's been going on over the last few days. On today's podcast, the guys finished off the Jasper Pond Hockey tournament recap they started on Saturday and broke down the Oilers' decision to sign Corey Perry to a one-year contract. Kicking off the Monday episode of Real Life, the guys jumped in with a recap of the Jasper Pond Hockey tournament that happened after the Saturday check-in episode. If you listened to that show, you knew that the rest of the day was going to turn into a hurricane, and that's exactly what happened. Changing gears, the guys dove into the news that Corey Perry signed a one-year deal with the Oilers to finish the year in Edmonton. Seeing as Perry was almost an Oiler 20 years ago, it seems almost surreal that the guy landed here almost two decades after the fabled Mike Comrie trade didn't happen. Now that Perry is here, where does he fit in the lineup? Given that he won't play until Satu

  • Checking in from the Jasper pond hockey tournament

    20/01/2024 Duración: 51min

    The boys are spending the weekend in Jasper for the annual pond hockey tournament, and that meant the perfect opportunity for an on-location episode of the Real Life Podcast. Kicking off the podcast, the guys started talking about the pond hockey tournament and how it's incredible to be here for a third straight year. As you'd expect, talking about the tournament didn't last long before the shenanigans crept in and derailed the whole thing. Despite being unable to stay on track, it's clear that the fellas were thrilled to be back at the tournament. From bringing the house down on night one to the battle against Flamesnation to kick off day two, this episode of Real Life is about as unhinged as it gets. As you'll hear, Christopher K. Chalmers was an absolute menace on today's show and that meant a very tough job for producer Pat as he tried to edit this thing to a point where it's fit for consumption. Needless to say, this was one for the ages. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  • The Oilers are red-hot & the guys talk about local hockey

    15/01/2024 Duración: 52min

    The guys are back with a Monday edition of the podcast and by the guys, we mean Tyler, Wanye, and Liam. It wasn’t the usual crew, but they were up to their usual nonsense as they talked about local hockey, life and the red-hot Edmonton Oilers.Liam and Wanye went out and watched a Sherwood Park Crusaders over the weekend and they talked about the state of the team and also, how the business of a Junior A hockey team works. 15 years ago, Wanye got turned down for a job with the team, so why was he back? Listen to find out!By the half way point of the pod, Chalmers had joined the guys and talked about the upcoming Jasper Pond Hockey Tournament that he and Yaremchuk will be participating in our at the Fairmont JPL. Tourism Jasper and Booster Juice are sponsoring the team this year, so Tyler and Chals are feeling the pressure to bring home a title for team Oilersnation.They wrapped things up with some NFL Football talk. Liam’s Lions won a big game and he celebrated in typical Liam fashion. Tyler’s Bills have a big

  • A tribute to Robin Brownlee

    12/01/2024 Duración: 30min

    It's a very tough day for all of us at Oilersnation as news broke earlier this afternoon that our own Robin Brownlee passed away at 65 years old.The guys got hit with some devastating news right before the podcast started when they learned about Robin Brownlee's unexpected passing. As a major piece and founding member of Oilersnation, losing Brownlee so suddenly was a jolt to the system that none of the guys could have ever expected. As a result, today's episode of the Real Life podcast paid tribute to a man who helped build The Nation Network into what it is today. From being the first "real" writer to join Oilersnation and add some credibility to the site to offering reasoned analysis no matter the situation, Robin Brownlee has been a pillar for this website for the last 15 years, and the guys wanted to tell a few behind the scenes stories to honour a great writer, a better person, and a fantastic dad.
