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.

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.  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.

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. Hosted on Acast.

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.  👍🏼Powered by @bet365: http://www.bet365.ca/ 🥙 Swiss Donair → https://swissdonair.com/ Oddle Noodle Locations - https://www.oodlenoodle.ca/locations/ Join the Nation Golf Tournament - https://nationexperiences.ca/products/the-nation-golf-tournament-2026 Hosted on Acast.

Folkfest, no Oilers news, and a social media recap

The Decade of Darkness, Old Nation Gear Designs, and Other Random Shenanigans
2026/07/30
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 insane Edmonton weather we're having, Tyler's vacation plans, old Nation Gear designs, and much more. The guys kicked off this week's episode of Real Life with a run of topics that were not at all planned and completely random. Given that there is next to no Oilers news happening right now, the boys had the opportunity to wander into whatever topic they chose whether it was a good idea or not. From Tony Romo's legal situation to taking Ubers home from the bar to bossing robots around, the first segment of the podcast was all over the map and made no sense whatsoever. Changing gears, Tyler walked the boys through his upcoming holiday plans and how he's still not sure whether he'll be able to take his electric hummer on his road trip. Given that superchargers aren't overly plentiful in Alberta yet, the choice of taking his Hummer on the road is almost being stripped from him. That said, these are champagne problems to say the least. Will Tyler get sympathy from the audience? Unlikely. Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast on the Thursday episode of Real Life with a run of topics, starting with a recap of old Nation Gear designs that Rick brought into the office from the archives, and how there have been some horrible designs. From there, the guys looked back in Oilers history and had a conversation about how bad some of the old Decade of Darkness seasons where despite ON being around the whole time.  👍🏼Powered by @bet365: http://www.bet365.ca/ 🥙 Swiss Donair → https://swissdonair.com/ Join the Nation Golf Tournament - https://nationexperiences.ca/products/the-nation-golf-tournament-2026 Hosted on Acast.

Downtown business struggles, Old bar stories, and the return of the 501 game
2026/07/23
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 ongoing troubles of running a business in downtown Edmonton, recent hospitality closures, Oilers all time penalty leaders, and much more. The guys kicked off this week's episode of Real Life with a conversation about the recent influx in downtown business closures. As a business owner himself Jay shared some of his insight on the problems currently affecting the hospitality industry in the heart of Downtown Edmonton. This conversation eventually led the boys on a trip down memory lane reminiscing about old bars they used to frequent but are sadly no longer around. Do the "kids" still like to go out and meet people? Eli shared his perspective on night-life in Edmonton as a young adult. Everyone's favourite Oilers 501 game made a return this afternoon! With the absence of Bagged Milk on this week's podcast the boys challenged each other to a 1v1v1 head to head matchup. Who's the smartest Oilers fan? Hosted on Acast.

Tyler's Ace Race, Crowmageddon, and Wanye's "Oilers" story
2026/07/16
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 Tyler's Ace Race, behind the scenes from the day, some Oilers talk, and much more. The guys kicked off this week's episode of Real Life with a conversation about the Ace Race, and how frustrated Tyler is that he wasn't able to get the job done for the second year in a row. While there was some close calls throughout the day, the fact that he didn't get a lucky bounce of any kind was every shade of annoying. The guys also discussed some of the behind the scenes stories that didn't come out on the stream. Sticking with the Ace Race, the guys discussed what they thought of the day and what a third attempt might look like next summer if Tyler even agrees to do it. That led to the guys workshopping some ideas on how they could make the event more interesting, or even what other streams they could do with the staff at Nation HQ. Whether it's locking someone in the office or thinking of something else entirely, the reality is that having more Megastreams is definitely something that the boys want to do. Finally, how could they discuss the Ace Race without mentioning... the crow incident. Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast on the Thursday episode of Real Life with a run of topics, starting with the Battle of the Donairs, Wanye's Oilers influencer story, and how this player has pivoted from being a pro athlete into a content creator... or did he? The guys also discussed Tyler's new found itch to travel beyond his rule of nothing more than a six-hour flight.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
