Hockey dads, Brewers win the World Series, and the Battle of Alberta attendance
2026/10/29
Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded and edited, and it's ready to help you wrap up the week with another dose of nonsense and shenanigans. On this week's episode of Real Life, the guys discussed hockey parenting, Amazon Prime, the Glen Sather interview, and much more. The guys kicked off this week's episode of Real Life with a conversation about Patrick Stewart passing away, and how a lot of kids these days wouldn't even know him from his major role on Star Trek compared to being Charles Xavier on X-Men. After two seconds on Captain Pickard, the boys pivoted immediately Wanye's first foray into being a hockey parent. As you'll hear, Wanye Jr. has taken to the sport like gangbusters, and it was fascinating to hear how being a new hockey dad has affected him. Changing gears, the guys looked at a judge in Milwaukee declaring that it would be acceptable to wear Brewers gear in court from now until the end of their World Series parade. That led the boys to wonder what Edmonton might be like if the Oilers are able to win a Stanley Cup. Would the city shut down? How long for? Nobody knows for sure, but what everyone agreed on is that the city will be a madhouse. That led to a discussion about last night's Battle of Alberta on Amazon, and how the games on Prime can fine but just different enough to feel weird. The guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of Real Life with random collection of topics, starting with a look at the Glen Sather interview from the intermission, and whether players should be involved in team decision making. They also discussed the in-feed ads that Amazon has during the game, and how it's wild that you can order things right from your TV while you're watching a hockey game. Finally, the guys wrapped up the Thursday show with a round of Chalmer's winter prep for your home. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Documentaries, Royals, and watching Titanic
2026/10/26
Baggedmilk and Wanye were back with another episode of Realer Life to talk about whatever was going on in their lives over the last week. From the Oilers to movies to documentaries, this week's episode was all over the map. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Tyler's birthday getaway, fantasy football, and Senators fans vs. Brady Tkachuk
2026/10/22
Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded and edited, and it's ready to help you wrap up the week with another dose of nonsense and shenanigans. On this week's episode of Real Life, the guys discussed Tyler's birthday trip to Las Vegas, the football fantasy league, timeless tickets, and the Edmonton Oilers. The guys kicked off this week's episode of Real Life with a conversation about Ron Duguay's passing and his legendary dating list. From there, the guys pivoted to a look at the Norm MacDonald documentary that landed on Netflix this past week, and how he was one of the best to ever do it. Next up, Tyler recapped his surprise trip down to Vegas that his wife planned for his birthday, including ending up in a suite for the Bills game and watching a quarter from field level. Changing gears, the guys looked at the Real Life Fantasy Football League, and how Baggedmilk is apparently ruining the sanctity of the league. Yet, as you'll hear, Baggedmilk is 5-1-0 in the league despite never checking his lineups, which is good for a first place tie. Is BM actually ruining the league or should he get credit for drafting well in the first place? Sticking with sports, the guys spent a few minutes talking about the Timeless Ticket controversy in Milwaukee after the Brewers seemingly changed the rules for how those lifetime passes were used. The guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of Real Life with random collection of topics, starting with a look at Leon Draisaitl being sassy interviews. After being asked if the team changes their style mid-game, Draisaitl's response drew an interesting reaction from the fanbase about whether these guys should be asked tactics questions in the first place. Finally, the podcast wrapped with a run of Beefs of the Week that ranged from Sens fans vs. Brady Tkachuk to Joe Buck and Troy Aikman. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
The Oilers, robots, and flying cars

Tyler's Birthday, NHL ticket prices, and the Edmonton Elks are in the playoffs
2026/10/15
Thursday afternoon means a fresh epsode of the Real Life podcast is ready to wrap up your week. It's Tyler's birthday today! So as a surprise to him only Wanye and Eli showed up... The Skeleton crew starts the episode off sharing stories of their young adult birthday parties. From throwing up in the club, to being driven home in a cop car, to taking "free" drinks, the guys had a good laugh at their younger selves. Moving on from those shenanigans we asked ourselves the question, does the NHL have a ticket-selling problem? Advertising for season seats and cheaper tickets have increased while more and more people have opted out of their season seats. Wrapping up the show Wanye praised the Edmonton Elks for their commitment to afordable tickets even in the playoffs! With the season coming to the end the crew is getting ready for an Edmonton playoff push. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Player endorsements, signs at Oilers games, and youth hockey
2026/10/08
Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded and edited, and it's ready to help you wrap up the week with another dose of nonsense and shenanigans. On this week's episode of Real Life, the guys discussed the Oilers' three-game winning streak, games behind a paywall, and baseball foul ball etiquette. The guys kicked off this week's episode of Real Life with a recap of the Oilers' three-game winning streak and how the last three games have been a marked change from the season opener. The guys then dug into a tweet Tyler put out on Saturday that highlighted Yaremchuk math in the best possible way. As you'll hear, multiplying games by two points to figure out potential points totals can be trickier than you'd think. From there, the guys spoke about Monday night games being put behind a paywall, and how the NHL seems hell bent on making it as hard as possible to watch. Changing gears, Wanye wanted to talk about the Gavin McKenna ad with Rogers, and whether the league will ever clamp down on players doing deals, especially with rights holders. That led to some of the shady deals that have come out in the NBA over the years, and whether the NHL is just the next league to get caught for shady dealings. That led to Chalmers talking about Jalen Brunson hosting the season premiere of Saturday Night Live, and how it was fun to see an athlete put himself out there like he did. Finally, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of Real Life with random collection of topics, starting with Chalmers' history lesson of loving SNL. That led the guys to wonder how much these folks make, and how intense the schedule can be. From there, the guys discussed a baseball controversy after a Dodgers fan who caught a foul ball refused to give it to a young fan from a section over. Lastly, the conversation turned to when it's appropriate to bring a sign to an Oilers game, and if there are any rules for the signs that must be abided by. Hosted on Acast.

AI, Prison Talk, and the Edmonton Oilers
2026/10/05
Baggedmilk and Wanye put in the work today with an extended episode of Realer Life that covered everything from AI to wearable tech to the Edmonton Oilers. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Oilers season opener recap, injury woes, and a RIPNation recap
2026/10/01
Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded and edited, and it's ready to help you wrap up the week with another dose of nonsense and shenanigans. Today's podcast had a skeleton crew with only Tyler, Baggedmilk, and Eli, but that didn't stop the fellas from having a good time anyway. The guys kicked off this week's episode of Real Life with a recap of the Oilers' season opener and how great it was to be back at Rogers Place despite the way the game ended. From the construction vests on everyone's seat to the line combos to Tristan Jarry blowing it between the pipes, talking about an Oilers game that mattered was a lot of fun. Needless to say, arguing about the Oilers and having the team ruin your day just kinda felt like home. Changing gears, the guys walked through the Oilers injury woes plaguing the team early this season after it was announced that Zach Hyman will be sidelined for the next two weeks. Despite playing in the season opener on Tuesday, Hyman apparently hurt himself in the final pre-season game of the year, which had everyone wondering why he played against Vancouver. Yet, even with his upper-body injury, Hyman was on the ice during overtime. So, what's the real story there? Only the Hockey Gords know for sure. Finally, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of Real Life with a run of topics, starting with news that Tyler's cousin is one of the astronauts en route to the International Space Station. Why has Tyler never admitted to having an astronaut cousin before? Who knows, but Baggedmilk really wants him to land some kind of ONE interview while he's floating around in space. The guys then wrapped up the show with a quick Big Brother recap ahead of Thursday's season finale. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
The RIPNation party recap
2026/09/28
Baggedmilk and Wanye walked through the RIPNation party at the Pint from Saturday night and how it was an incredible night with so many Nation Citizens. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Oilers pre-season updates, Mark Messier's Babcock comments, and Caleb Williams
2026/09/24
Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded and edited, and it's ready to help you wrap up the week with another dose of nonsense and shenanigans. On today's podcast, the guys discussed Tyler's evolving palate, the Oilers value menu, Vladdy Guerrero's contract comments, and much more. The guys kicked off this week's episode of Real Life with a range of topics, starting with Tyler's evolving palate after crushing piles of seafood when he was out on Vancouver Island. From there, the boys looked at the Rogers Place value menu, and how it was a nice little surprise for the fanbase after getting kicked in the pills with pricing year after year. Yet, as you'll hear, there's always a catch with the Oilers. As it turns out, the value menu is only available out in Ford Hall. Changing gears, the guys walked through some of the biggest news stories from around the NHL, including the Connor Hellebuyck situation in Winnipeg and where he might end up when he's finally traded. The guys also dove into Mark Messier's comments about the Mike Babcock hire, and how wild it was to have a franchise legend throw the team under the bus the way he did. Understandably, the boys asked Chalmers for his first take on the situation, given that the Moose is his hero. Surprising? Yes. Disappointing? Also yes. Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast on the Thursday episode of Real Life with a run of topics, starting with the Caleb Williams viral memes that kicked off after his hamstring injury from last Sunday. For Chalmers, the reaction to the injury was too much. But for the rest of the guys on the podcast, his beef of the week turned very quickly to making fun of his take. Lastly, the guys wrapped up the show with an update from the Real Life fantasy football league, and how Baggedmilk keeps winning despite never looking at or adjusting his lineup. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
The RIPNation Party, Oilers training camp, and peak Kool-Aid szn
2026/09/17
Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded and edited, and it's ready to help you wrap up the week with another dose of nonsense and shenanigans. On today's podcast, the guys discussed Chalmers bailing for the weather, the RIPNation party, Kawhi Leonard, and much more. The guys kicked off this week's episode of Real Life with a conversation about Chalmers missing another podcast because the weather in Edmonton is too nice, and he wants to take advantage of the sunshine. Despite what he says on a weekly basis, the boys are starting to think that he's not really committed to the podcast. From there, the guys went into the RIPNation that's coming up on September 26th at the Pint, and how the intro panel alone will be worth the price of admission. Changing gears, the guys dug into the Kawhi Leonard situation in Toronto after Wanye asked whether basketball fans are happy with this trade going through after the shady doings in Los Angeles. As you'll hear, the situation is clearly serious from an NBA perspective, but it's also understandable why Raptors fans are happy to have their hero back in town. Needless to say, the Kawhi Leonard story is only to get more interesting when he signs a massive contract back in Toronto. Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast on the Thursday episode of Real Life with a run of topics, starting with the Oilers kicking off their first training camp in the Mike Babcock era. Somehow talking about training camp led to a trip down memory lane for Jack Campbell, and how that experiment went so sideways so quickly. From there, the boys dug into some of the early stories from training camp, including some new line combos, and what it's like to watch Mike Babcock run his first on-ice sessions as the new head coach. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
The Oilers raised beer prices by how much?
2026/09/10
Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded and edited, and it's ready to help you wrap up the week with another dose of nonsense and shenanigans. On today's podcast, the guys discussed the new Oilers beer prices, the GOAT Edmonton bars, fast food logos, and much more. The guys kicked off this week's episode of Real Life with a conversation about logos and fast food chain restaurants. Why? Because Tyler is on vacation and the boys had absolutely no prep done for today's podcast. From Arby's logos to drive through problems, the guys spent the first chunk of the podcast talking about total nonsense. Was there any reason for this conversation? No.  Changing gears, the guys dug into the rumoured new beer prices from Rogers Place, which have reportedly gone up by $7 per beer. At $26.50 per beer, the price of going to an Oilers game has shot the moon over the last handful of years. At some point, there is going to be a max price that people will pay before they start to revolt. At some point, people the dam will break with what the fanbase is willing to spend.  Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast on the Thursday episode of Real Life with a run of topics, starting by listing out the best bars of all time in the city. As you'll hear from this trip down memory lane, there were a bunch of great spots around the city that have either found a way to keep going or fell apart for whatever reason. Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast with some Oilers talk as the 2026-27 NHL season inches towards go time.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Chalmers' fire alarm, Daejon Love, and the Kawhi Leonard punishment
2026/09/03
Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded and edited, and it's ready to help you wrap up the week with another dose of nonsense and shenanigans. On today's podcast, the guys discussed the Real Life fantasy football league, fire alarms, Daejon Love, the Kawhi Leonard investigation, and much more. The guys kicked off this week's episode of Real Life with a conversation about the Real Life football draft and how Chalmers can't figure out what time the draft has to be. He wants to do a poll to figure out the time, but doesn't understand how to make one. Before the boys could get through Chalmers' technology issues, he got a phone call from his alarm company after the smoke detector went off in his house. Needless to say, this podcast interruption happened in the most Chalmers fashion ever.  Changing gears, the guys dug into the Daejon Love story that has taken over the Internet over the last week after he was busted defrauding defrauding 26 women out of $1.3 million. If you've been paying attention to the story, the details get more and more absurd as the days go along. From the videos to the memes to the leaked DMs, the Daejon Love story is as strange and ridiculous as it gets on the Internet. The moral of the story? Googling people is probably smart.  Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast on the Thursday episode of Real Life with a run of topics, starting with the Kawhi Leonard story in Toronto. The NBA completed its investigation in the Leonard tree-planting scam, and doled out some harsh justice as a result. As you'll hear, the Clippers seemed to get the harshest part of the punishment while the player is getting off relatively scot-free. From there, the boys wrapped up the podcast with a run of random topics and lanes that were all over the map.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Falling in love with fake NFLers, robots, and the Edmonton Oilers
2026/08/31
Baggedmilk and Wanye were back with another episode of Realer Life to talk about whatever nonsense was on their minds. This week, they were talking fake NFL love, robots walking the streets, and the Edmonton Oilers... kinda. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Connor Hellebuyck wants out of Winnipeg, Jed York, and the Real Life football pool
2026/08/27
Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded and edited, and it's ready to help you wrap up the week and preview tomorrow' Nation Golf Tournament out in Millwoods. On today's podcast, the guys discussed the Connor Hellebuyck, TV talk, weather woes, and much more. The guys kicked off this week's episode of Real Life with a conversation about Connor Hellebuyck confirming his trade request out of Winnipeg with a written statement on social media. Needless to say, Jets fans took another kick to the shin on Thursday after their star goalie confirmed that he no longer wants to play in their city. While many insiders have speculated on the situation since the Olympics, it seems like we're nearing the end of the Hellebuyck era. Changing gears, the guys spent the next chunk of the podcast talking about the San Francisco 49ers owner getting busted for soliciting prostitution at a trailer park in Ohio. As you'll hear, the boys had plenty of questions regarding why a billionaire would make such a poor life choice, but that quickly devolved into making fun of the guy for being cheap. From there, the guys talked about the Cleveland Browns, and how they never seem to make anything easier on themselves, especially when it comes to their quarterback situation. Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast on the Thursday episode of Real Life with a run of topics, starting with a look at the Real Life football pool, the Nation Golf tournament coming up tomorrow in Millwoods, and the RIPON event that will be happening at The Pint on September 26th. Needless to say, this event will be one of the biggest parties the company has ever thrown, and one you will absolutely want to mark on your calendars. Hosted on Acast.
