  • Wanye's sad coffee news, Oilers vs. Sharks, and the winter Olympics
    Jan 29 2026

    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 Wanye's favourite coffee shop closing, food preferences, the Oilers' 10th chance to win three straight games, the winter Olympics, and more.

    The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a conversation about Wanye's favourite coffee spot closing down after their lease was not renewed by the building owner. Given that this specific location was part of his daily routine, it's a real problem for Wanye, and now he's concerned about which spot will take up his time and commitment. Talking about a closed coffee shop led the boys to talk about their favourite places to get a cup of joe.

    Changing gears, the conversation turned to foods the guys don't like as adults, foods they hoped they would have come to appreciate as they got older. As you'll hear, two of the boys have some interesting quirks with their food preferences, while the other two will happily eat whatever is in front of their faces. The most important part of the conversation is that the boys are all over the map about what they'll eat and what they won't.

    Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast with the Thursday episode of Real Life with some Oilers talk, as the team looks for their first three-game winning streak of the season on their 10th attempt. Given that the San Jose Sharks are in town and Macklin Celebrini is having a MVP-calibre season, tonight's Pacific Division battle feels like a huge test for an Edmonton club that has lost as many games as they've won.

  • Winning Cures Everything & Why Nuge Is One of the Most Loved Oilers Ever
    Jan 24 2026

    The good vibes are flowing on a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast, and honestly… how could they not be? When the Oilers are winning, everything feels better — and the boys dive into exactly why success has completely changed the mood around the team. From strong recent performances to the confidence starting to build, it’s a classic reminder that winning really does cure (almost) everything.


    That leads into a big-time appreciation segment for Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and his place in Oilers history. From being a No. 1 pick who carried unrealistic expectations, to evolving into one of the most reliable, respected, and quietly dominant players the franchise has ever had, Nuge has earned his spot as one of the most loved Oilers of all time. The boys break down what makes him so easy to root for, why fans connect with him, and why his legacy in Edmonton might be bigger than people realize.


    Of course, it wouldn’t be Real Life without plenty of side quests along the way — stories from recent events, crowd energy, food debates, random observations, and the usual off-the-rails moments that make the show what it is. Winning hockey, franchise icons, and immaculate vibes — this one’s a fun ride from start to finish.
