Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you wrap up the week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed the Oilers' two-game win streak, trade rumours, most hated opponents, and much more.

The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with some Oilers talk after the boys picked up a pair of wins over the Canucks and Rangers. Somehow, talking about those two wins led to a discussion about potential trade targets for Edmonton, even though it's way too early to really even discuss the possibilities. Following the trade talks down the rabbithole, the guys debated about who they would rather have in a trade: Tage Thompson or Ilya Sorokin.

From there, the discussion shifted to the players or opponents we irrationally hate just because they played for an opposing team. Whether it was a former Flame like Robyn Regehr crushing Ales Hemsky to the Dallas Stars running the show during the playoffs in the late 90s, there were plenty of options to choose from, and the reasons for hating them were all over the map. If anything, this exercise was a trip down memory lane and a reminder of how long some of these memories can last.

Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast with an array of topics, including the Jays trying to even up the series in Seattle, the Oilers looking for a third consecutive win, Ike Howard's spot in the lineup, and whatever else popped into anyone's mind. Needless to say, the last chunk of the podcast was a classic dose of Real Life because no single topic seemed to last more than a minute or two. Structure? Kinda. Bouncing all over the place? Absolutely.

Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you wrap up the week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed Jay's trip to London, the Oilers' season opener loss, the Blue Jays beating the Yankees, beefs of the week, and much more.

The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a quick recap of Jay's trip to the UK for the Browns game, covering what he got up to despite being away for only 96 hours. From trying haggis for the first time to dabbling with local beers to watching the NFL in a soccer stadium, Jay got a lot of life done in a very short amount of time.

From there, the discussion shifted to the Oilers' season opener, which was an incredibly frustrating result given how well the boys started the game. Starting with a look at the new guys, Chalmers admitted that he didn't know who some of the new guys were, which led to the boys dunking on him repeatedly. Despite hearing many of these names multiple times,

Finally, the guys walked through a new segment called Beef of the Week where the boys vented their frustrations with some news stories from the past week. Whether it's pop culture, the Oilers not acknowledging the Western Conference Champions banner, to the Blue Jays beating the Yankees in their first-ever playoff matchup, the end of this week's podcast was all over the map.

Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you wrap up the week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed Kirill Kaprizov's contract, speaking to animals, and much more.

The guys started the Thursday episode of Real Life with a discussion about the Oilers' pre-season and how it's such a grind to get through these eight games when games that matter are right around the corner. The good news is that there's only one tune-up game left to slog through until the regular season begins, and that means we're so close to getting going for real. Talking about the season led the guys to discuss Kirill Kaprizov's contract extension and whether it affects Connor McDavid's negotiations.

Taking a hard turn, Tyler asked the boys which animal they would choose to speak with if they could somehow speak the same language. While this may have been a throwaway comment by Tyler, the boys took the question way more seriously than he probably expected. From talking to birds to negotiating with wasps and mosquitoes, what seemed like a throwaway topic ended up going on way longer than anyone probably expected.

Finally, the guys walked through a new segment called Beef of the Week where they vented their frustrations for a couple of minutes to let it all out. From complaining about TV to Chalmers' love of tomahawk steaks, the first go at this new idea went better than initially expected. The real question, however, is whether or not the fellas can actually stick to coming up with something every week instead of letting the bit slide as they always seem to do.

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 Tyler's big betting weekend, the Elks' victory over the Roughriders, Connor McDavid's contract status, and explored other topics that arose.

The guys started the Monday episode of Real Life with a discussion about a variety of random topics, including the COVID-19 hockey bubble and weird memories from that period in time. Needless to say, talking about sports during COVID times almost feels alien, given how everything is long back to normal less than five years later. Talking sports led Tyler to talk about his Saturday at the Elks game, and how it was an electric finish for both the team and his wallet.

Changing gears, the guys walked through their squad ride bet for the Ryder Cup and how the weekend was not only entertaining but also profitable. The guys also discussed the player feedback after the tournament was done, and whether the crowd was getting too carried away with their chirps and barbs for the European players. Part of the discussion also centred on whether the noise was worse because the tournament took place in New York, an area known for its aggressive fans, even at the best of times.

Finally, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics, including the Connor McDavid contract situation, body language, and whether we're still reading way too much into the situation despite him still being unsigned. Sticking with contract discussions, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life by wondering what is going on around the league and whether the other unsigned deals are making the same kind of waves.

Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you wrap up the week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed reality TV, when Tyler's going to start having children, Baggedmilk's trip to Minneapolis, and much more.

The guys started the Monday episode of Real Life with a discussion about how it was the first time everyone had been on the podcast in quite some time. As you'll hear, the topics move all over the map when the squad is together, and the first 15 minutes of Thursday's podcast covered a lot of ground. From Big Brother being awful to when Tyler plans for having kids, there was a long run of topics that were all over the map.

Changing gears, Baggedmilk recapped his ultimate sports weekend in Minneapolis and walked through the experience of going to a high school football game, a Twins doubleheader, and the Vikings' beatdown over the Bengals on Sunday afternoon. For a fan of live sports, watching that many sports in a span of three days was as good as it gets. The best part of doing a sports weekend like that is how there was so much going on, and a lot of fun to be had.

Finally, the guys walked through some betting talk ahead of the Ryder Cup. Tyler, Jay, and Chalmers are all picking a horse to bet on for the weekend, and they could not be more excited about the tournament. From there, Chalmers gave his keys to coaching minor hockey and offered some advice on how to get your team into tournaments before they fill up.

The Edmonton Oilers are back on the ice and the Real Life crew is back in the studio for a fresh Monday edition of the podcast. They started things off by talking about the split squad games that took place on Sunday night. Tyler gave the group his takeaways and then revealed that he might not actually be all that excited for this season to start. That led to a grilling from Jay and the group talked about why they are stoked for the puck to drop on October 8th.

From there, they talked about a couple of Netflix documentaries that they’re working through. Wayne gave a not so great review of the Charlie Scheen doc while Chalmers sold the group of the Dallas Cowboys doc. That also led to some talk about wild minor league sports promotions.

They also spent some time talking baseball with the playoffs right around te corner, who they’re cheering for in the Ryder Cup, flag football at the Olympics and all the new CFL changes that are coming.

The Real Life crew is back with a fresh episode of the pod to get you through your Thursday afternoon. Tyler, Chalmers and Wanye kicked things off by talking about the Connor McDavid contract situation. There is some legit concern within the group as the Oilers’ Captain remains unsigned and continues to be cryptic with his messaging in the media.

They kicked around a few conspiracy theories, talked about when they’ll think he’ll finally sign, and why he’s taking his sweet time. They also talked about the opening of training camp and some new faces that are taking the ice with the team.

They then talked about this week’s NFL schedule (later on they did an update on the Real Life fantasy leagues) and Thursday Night Football bets for Bet365. Chalmers also had a hell of a weekend on the golf course as he won a tournament that was first one by Oilers legend Mark Messier. He told the story of the win and why it means so much.

They wrapped with a little bit of baseball talk as the Blue Jays are on the verge of clinching and Erik Sabrowski’s Cleveland Guardians are making a push for the final Wild Card spot!

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 #ChairGate at Nation HQ, airplane seating, Liam's quarterback rankings, the Toronto Blue Jays, into any other topics that arose.

The guys started the Monday episode of Real Life with a discussion from Liam Horrobin about his hatred for the chairs in the office. As you'll hear, there are 40 chairs at Nation HQ, and that is way too many for our man, even though Baggedmilk passionately disagrees with him. Yet, as the conversation continued, the guys seemed to find a solution that would both rid the office of some of the useless chairs while not liquidating the office of potential seating options.

Changing gears, Liam also walked through his quarterback betting rankings after a tough run of betting sank his weekend. As you'll hear, Liam's colour-coded quarterback system is based mainly on vibes and sometimes on the total body of work. While the boys were trying to poke holes in his system, you have to give Liam credit for sticking to his guns and defending his system. The real question will be how his system pays him back over the course of the season, provided he's sticking to it.

Finally, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics, including a quick recap of Tyler's trip to Toronto to watch the Blue Jays, the Oilers vs Flames rookie weekend, and a random trip through southern geography, as Jay described where he'd like to live in the states if he was forced to move down south. As always, the Monday episode was all over the map and featured very little Oilers talk, as expected.
