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.

AI, Prison Talk, and the Edmonton Oilers
2026/10/05

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The history of Edmonton, Juggalos, and the Oilers goaltending
2026/08/24
Baggedmilk and Wanye were back with another episode of Realer Life to talk about whatever was on their mind. This week, the boys discussed the history of Edmonton, the Gathering of the Juggalos, and what to expect from the Edmonton Oilers. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
The Nation Golf Tournament, party planning, and the upcoming Oilers season
2026/08/20
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 Nation Golf Tournament, TV talk, weather woes, and much more.
The guys kicked off this week's episode of Real Life with a conversation about TV after Chalmers made his return to the podcast and spent a few minutes talking about House of the Dragon. That led the guys to do a quick Big Brother recap, and discussed whether or not this season is actually good or just something to watch. The boys also discussed the Jays' resurgence, and how this team refuses to lay down and die despite so many people writing them off only a few weeks ago.
Changing gears, the guys spent the next chunk of the podcast talking about what a dreadful summer it's been here in Edmonton. For someone in construction like Chalmers, having this much rainfall has really messed up the building season. Chalmers also wanted to check out what the farmer's almanac had to say, and as it turns out, the almanac basically predicted this summer to a tee. And when it comes to the winter months? Well... the news didn't get much better.
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 Nation Golf tournament coming up next week in Mill Woods, 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.

A Really Random Collection of Topics
2026/08/17
Baggedmilk and Wanye were back with another episode of Realer Life that covered an array of topic despite starting the podcast with absolutely no prep whatsoever. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Daily Faceoff Edmonton, AI videos, and the Battle of the Donairs
2026/08/13
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 Oilersnation move to Daily Faceoff Edmonton, the Battle of the Donairs, hippos videos, and much more.
The guys kicked off this week's episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics ranging from the Oilersnation to Daily Faceoff Edmonton evolution, and gave some additional context on why the change needed to happen. While there was plenty of misinformation and confusion cruising around social media yesterday, the boys had some fun with the reaction and how there were so many takes that were completely untrue.
Changing gears, the guys spent chunk of the podcast moving all over the place, including Clare Drake Arena being closed for the upcoming season for renos, Jay getting caught by an AI hippo video, and getting his mind blown by a magician. Despite working through these varying topics, the boys had to go back to the hippo talk after Jay shared the video in the group chat convinced that he was going to prove it to be real. Unfortunately, Mr. Downton was proven to be incorrect.
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 Battle of the Donairs bracket winding down, the upcoming Nation Golf Tournament, 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.
