Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded and edited, and it's ready to help you wrap up the week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed the Oilers' Game 2 loss, Connor McDavid's ankle injury, the series heading to Anaheim, and much more. The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a conversation about the guy who threw the chicken/duck onto the ice, and how it was a moronic decision at that point in the game. Not only was it a dumb move to throw the bird on the ice, but to do it at that point of the game when the Oilers were buzzing was every shade of annoying. The guys even tried to think of better times he could have still done the stunt without annoying the entire fanbase. Changing gears, the conversation turned to Tyler's beef of the week, which centred around the playoff spirit that hasn't really landed in Edmonton yet. Given that we're two games in and there are very few car flags on vehicles in the city, Tyler called out the fanbase for not getting hyped up for the first round and offered a plea to get more involved to show support. That led to a discussion about what went wrong in Game 2, and what needs to be sorted out ahead of Friday's first game in Anaheim. Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast on the Thursday episode of Real Life with a run of topics, starting with what the team needs to do better in Game 3 and beyond. From there, the boys played another round of 501 centred on how many playoff games a guy has played as an Oiler. Finally, Jay aired out a bonus Beef of the Week about Chalmers calling him at the most unfortunate times of day and complaining about never getting calls back. Hosted on Acast.

Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded and edited, and it's ready to help you wrap up the week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed the Oilers' potential playoff matchups, Shotty Millz showing up at Nation HQ, best in-person sports, and much more. The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a conversation about Shotty Millz coming down to Nation HQ, and how Tyler didn't seem to find much joy in having the local rapper in the building. As you'll hear, the boys ganged up on Tyler a little bit and questioned his motives for poo-pooing the grind. From there, the boys pivoted to beefs of the week, including Chris Pronger's take on Edmonton, Christmas lights left out year-round, and Alberta's horrible stretch of weather. Changing gears, the conversation turned to the Oilers' potential playoff matchups and how wild it is that we won't know what's happening until after Thursday's game against Vancouver. Not only do we not know who the Oilers will play in Round 1, but we also don't know what day they will even be starting. As far as starting another playoff run, it's hard to get excited just yet when there are so many unanswered questions in the air. Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast on the Thursday episode of Real Life with a run of topics, starting with Rory McIlroy winning the Masters for the second consecutive year, and which team everyone would prefer Edmonton to face in Round 1. The guys also discussed their final attempt at the bet365 first goal scorer challange, and how Wanye and Chalmers need a Hail Mary to get themselves back in the mix. Hosted on Acast.

Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded and edited, and it's ready to help you wrap up the week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed the Masters Tournament, the Oilers' big win in San Jose, Connor Ingram and Jason Dickinson getting banged up, best in-person sports, and much more. The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a conversation about Jay's lack of attendance on the podcast and a plan to play a trick on him, knowing he won't listen to the show. If you listen to this week's episode, the boys are asking for help with the bit. Sticking with TNN's suite of podcasts, the guys spent a few minutes discussing the network's shows and how the whole operation works. Changing gears, the conversation turned to the Masters and how Chalmers and Tyler were so excited for the tournament to get going. After the horrible spring we've had in Edmonton, the boys are using the Masters weekend as their kick-off point for their own summer of swing. As you'll hear, the Masters isn't just something to watch on TV, but rather a tipping point into a summer of golf. The point is, this is a big deal for 2/3 of the hosts.  Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast on the Thursday episode of Real Life with a run of topics, starting with some Oilers talk about the team's magic number and what they need to do to win the Pacific Division. Starting with Connor McDavid's brilliance over the last two games, and how he's playing his best hockey at the right time of the year. Turning back to the Masters, the boys took guesses at what they could do for a score in a round at Augusta, which led to talking about what sports would be the best to watch in person.  Hosted on Acast.

Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded and edited, and it's ready to help you wrap up the week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed Chalmers' trip to Mexico, a quick Nation Vacation recap, some love for Connor Ingram, the Oilers' resurgence, and more. The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a conversation about Chalmers' trip to Mexico, and how it was the first time his boys had ever been to an all-inclusive resort. As much as Chalmers loves going down to Mexico, it was also a little bit eerie to be in Puerto Vallarta with all of the craziness happening around the country right now. He also walked the boys through the struggles he was having to find a spot that would show the Oilers game. Changing gears, the conversation turned to the Nation Vacation trip to Las Vegas. Tyler and Baggedmilk walked Chalmers through some of the best stories from this latest trip, and how it was one of the best runs down to Vegas that we've ever done. Even with a smaller group, there were so many amazing stories to share that the boys really only scratched the surface. From winning money to trip darts to what it was like to be at T-Mobile Arena for such a massive moment. Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast on the Thursday episode of Real Life with a run of topics, starting with Connor Ingram getting a birthday shutout and how he's been so good over the last couple of weeks. Shifting gears, the boys walked through some of the new rule changes in the MLB, and how they all appreciate how the heads of baseball are always looking for ways to improve the game. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On this week's episode of Realer Life, Wanye and Baggedmilk discussed an array of topics, including BM's time in Vegas, the Tiger Woods news from this past weekend, movies, and going to concerts based on nostalgia. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Tyler, Baggedmilk, Rick and Jay say down poolside in Las Vegas on the Nation Vacation. The trip started with a bang of They group talked about the Oilers heading into a big game against the Golden Knights, why Woz was the centre of attention on day two of the trip, and Kennedy even joined to talk a bit about what went into planning the trip.

Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded and edited, and it's ready to help you wrap up the week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed March Madness kicking off, hypothetical trade scenarios for Darnell Nurse, beer league shenanigans, the Oilers' resurgence, and more. The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a conversation about sodas, noting that some social media accounts seem to glamorize binge-drinking cans of pop. While the guys all enjoy a carbonated beverage from time to time, no one can understand how anyone can drink more than a couple. Talking about sodas led the guys to discuss supplement stacking and how these "life hacks" seem to be much more prevalent. Changing gears, the conversation turned to Sudarshan Yellamaraju, the professional golfer out of Winnipeg who has forced his way onto the scene with pure relentlessness. As you'll hear, his story of turning pro is anything but easy, making it one worth following over the next weeks, months, and years. One of the best parts of golf is that it's a solo sport, and stories like Yellamaraju's make the journey that much more inspiring. Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast with the Thursday episode of Real Life with a run of topics, starting with some hypothetical trade scenarios between Tyler and Jay that would have Darnell Nurse going to Detroit in the offseason. As expected, the back-and-forth went about as well as you'd expect. Shifting topics once again, the boys walked through a rumble Chalmers' beer league game, and whether the scenario merited that kind of shenanigans.  Hosted on Acast.

Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded and edited, and it's ready to help you wrap up the week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed Shaquille O'Neal being in Edmonton, old car stereos, disc changers in your trunk, and more. The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a conversation about Shaq being in Edmonton and how just being him must be so exhausting. No matter where the guy goes, there's always a list of people who want to interact with him. Talking about Shaq led the guys to wonder which athlete is most famous worldwide. As you'll hear, it's hard to think of many athletes from any sport who would carry more brand recognition than the Big Aristotle. Changing gears, the conversation turned to everyone's first car, and how it's amazing how much the music game has changed for guys who started with disc changers in their trunks. These days, the idea of having a six-disc changer in your trunk sounds nuts, but it's fascinating to hear everyone experience the same thing. The guys also discussed how much they invested in their old car stereos, which is wild to think about in an era when big stereos aren't nearly as prevalent. Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast with the Thursday episode of Real Life with a run of topics, starting with re-gripping golf clubs, a young Chalmers golf journey, kids not knowing how to fix anything, and Baggedmilk's plumbing adventure. Once again, the final chunk of Thursday's episode of Real Life was all over the map with a range of topics that covered a lot of ground.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded and edited, and it's ready to help you wrap up the week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed their beefs of the week, life hacks, the NHL Trade deadline, Oilers moves, the Nation HQ snack controversy, and more. The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a new order of operations: they started the podcast with their beefs of the week instead of wrapping up the show. Wanye started the segment with a drive-thru complaint after his breakfast order was missing both the egg and milk he requested. Jay followed up with a beef of the week of his own after he got told off in traffic for simply occupying his space. Changing gears, the conversation turned to life hacks the fellas have amassed over the years, and how Wanye has a new parking hack at Rogers Place that he refuses to share. Somehow, the parking discussion led to a discussion about snacks at Nation HQ and how a few staffers are being accused of overindulging in the office fridge. As you'll hear, the mission for the boys is to start capturing greed red-handed and turning it into content. Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast with the Thursday episode of Real Life with a run of topics, starting with the Nation Vacation to Vegas, the Oilers making moves ahead of the trade deadline, what they could potentially do before the buzzer, NHL insiders calling trades before they're done, and whatever other random stories and items they could come up with to fill the time. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Baggedmilk and Wanye are back for another episode of Realer Life to break down the news from the last couple of weeks. On this week's podcast, the boys spoke about Brunch for Ben, business, social media, and learned of the Connor Murphy trade while they were recording. Hosted on Acast.

Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded and edited, and it's ready to help you wrap up the week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed the Wayne Gretzky locker-room snub rumour, the Oilers' disastrous effort in Anaheim, Tristan Jarry's struggles, Tyler's hypotheticals, and more. The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a conversation about the Olympic hockey final and a rumour that came out this morning saying Wayne Gretzky was not allowed in the room for a pre-game speech. Given that the rumour started on Barn Burner, it's been interesting to see how much noise came out of Mike Commodore's comments on the show. While the rumour has been shot down by Hockey Canada, social media has continued to run with the story. Changing gears, the conversation turned to Tyler's list of "fun" hypothetical scenarios that weren't really all that fun. Unfortunately, those hypotheticals didn't do much to lift the mood in the room, as everyone was still notably annoyed by how the Oilers are playing right now. From undoing the Skinner-for-Jarry trade or adjusting current Oilers contracts to free up cap dollars, Tyler offered a few this-or-that scenarios that were as sad as they were tricky to parse. Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast with the Thursday episode of Real Life, running through topics, starting with staying away from social media in the days after the gold medal game, rivalries growing the game, the 2028 World Cup vs. a Summit Series-style head-to-head, and beefs of the week. As you'll hear and likely expect, this week's episode of Real Life covered a lot of ground and topics that were all over the map. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded and edited, and it's ready to help you wrap up the week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed the winter games, Team Canada in the semi-finals, and more. The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a conversation about the winter games, as Tyler kicked off the podcast by admitting he's watching the curling semi-final as Canada works to punch their way to the final. Chalmers, however, hasn't been able to get into the games outside men's hockey, and it was a fascinating change of pace for the guy who even downloaded an app to find out what time things were showing. Changing gears, the conversation turned to Team Canada's quarter-final win over Czechia and how remarkable it was that no one noticed the Czechs had 6+ players on the ice for that third goal. While it was definitely a mistake by the officiating crew, it was also baffling how none of the Canadian players or coaches noticed and called it out. They also discussed what Canada needs to improve on as they face Team Finland in the semis on Friday morning. Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast with the Thursday episode of Real Life with a run of topics, starting with what everyone's plans are for the rest of the men's hockey tournament, including the events schedule for the next couple of games. They also discussed the upcoming Brunch for Ben that's happening at the end of February, and this is an event that you absolutely want to be at. From there, the show really devolved into nonsense, as the guys decided to the to tell old stories about peeing their pants. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
