  • The Real Life fishing derby, Oilersnation Open, and Connor McDavid's contract
    Aug 28 2025

    Monday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you kick off your workweek. On today's podcast, the guys discussed the Sherwood Power Sports and Marine fishing derby, the Oilersnation Open, and delved into any other topics that arose.


    The guys started the Monday episode of Real Life with a discussion about the Oilersnation Open that kicks off Friday morning at Millwoods Golf Club, and how everyone is so excited to get going on the seventh annual tourney in support of Gregor's Grads. Not only are the boys to get out on the course, but they're also excited about having everyone get together for what is undoubtedly one of the best dates on our calendar.


    Changing gears, the guys recapped the Real Life fishing derby that happened on Tuesday after a few of the boys took on the crew from Sherwood Power Sports and Marine. As you'll hear, the boys not only smoked the Sherwood Power Sports team in the head-to-head tournament, but it also gave Tyler a first-hand look at how great fishing can be. While he did say he probably won't fish again, he did admit that he would like to go again if someone forced the issue.


    Finally, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics, including the run the Blue Jays are on right now. Not only are the Jays playing some fantastic baseball right now, but they're also so much fun to watch that people are getting completely wrapped up in the moment. Shifting gears, the guys looked at the Connor McDavid quotes from yesterday's Team Canada Olympic orientation camp that happened yesterday in Calgary.

  • Fishing derbies, beer league hockey, and the Oilersnation Open
    Aug 25 2025

    Monday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you kick off your workweek. On today's podcast, the guys discussed this week's fishing derby, the Real Life fantasy football league, beer league hockey, and anything else that came about.


    The guys started the Monday episode of Real Life with a discussion about Tuesday's fishing derby presented by Sherwood Power Sports & Marine. While the boys don't really know what to expect from the derby, the boys are excited to get out on the boat and do what they can to beat our friends at Sherwood Ford. As you'll hear, Chalmers was full of helpful advice for Tyler, who will be making his fishing debut.


    Shifting gears, Tyler went on a rant about beer league hockey after the cost for playing went up to $13,500 in his league for the 2025-26 season. As you'll hear, it works out to $855 per player, which bothers Tyler because the annual increases seem to get bigger year over year. While beer league is a favourite Tyler pastime, having to chase his teammates for the cash is making his weekly games a little less fun.


    Finally, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics, including Chalmers working through his boys' hockey tryouts, the Real Life fantasy football league, the upcoming Oilersnation Open, and whatever else was coming to mind. As you'll hear, the back half of the podcast was all over the map despite having no prep done ahead of time. Needless to say, trying to map out an episode of Real Life is like trying to lasso a tornado.

  • Tyler's Ace Race, planning for next year, and the Oilersnation Open
    Aug 21 2025

    Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you wrap up your workweek. On today's podcast, the guys discussed Tyler's Ace Race, putting the event together, whether they'll do a mega stream like that again, and more.


    The guys started the Thursday episode of Real Life with a conversation about Tyler's Ace Race that happened on Monday, and how it was a fantastic day at Cattail Crossing despite not achieving the goal. Even though Tyler didn't drain his hole-in-one, there's absolutely no doubt that it was a tremendous day of content that only happened because he was such a good sport. It was also interesting to hear Tyler's perspective on the day because even getting to the golf course on Monday wasn't exactly smooth.


    Walking through the day, it was interesting to hear Tyler give his version of what happened and what adjustments he would make before the rematch. From taking more breaks to slowing down his swings between balls, there are more versions of this challenge that will happen in the future. As you'll hear, this first attempt for Tyler to hit a hole-in-one sets the table for an upgraded revenge tour for the next go around, and our boy's competitive spirit will likely lead him back to the tee box in the near future.


    Finally, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of Real Life with a look ahead at the Oilersnation Open, and whether the 18 hours of golf on Monday will affect Tyler's play on tourney day. Somehow talking about the ONO led to an argument about Tyler's golf handicap after the truth came out that Chalmers doesn't believe his number is real or not. Needless to say, this was a very golf heavy episode of the podcast, and one that could spawn another round of inter-podcast challenges.
