  • 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.

  • Ice makers, Facebook Marketplace, and the Pigeon Lake Music Festival
    Aug 14 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 Facebook Marketplace, ice makers, and more.


    The guys started the Thursday episode of Real Life with a conversation with Chalmers about why he hasn't been on the podcast for the last few weeks. As it turns out, moving the studio from upstairs back to the primary office was a major sticking point for Chalmers because it raised the barrier to entry for him to have a podcast cocktail. Somehow, talking about the studio move led to a conversation about buying an industrial ice maker for your residence. Too much? Good living?


    Changing gears, the boys spoke about buying and selling items on Facebook Marketplace. While Baggedmilk and Chalmers have never moved any units on Facebook, producer Eli walked the boys through how he's currently selling his car on the platform. Trying to help Eli move his car, the guys started working through the details on his vehicle to see if the fellas can drum up more clicks heading to his car ad.


    Finally, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of Real Life with a story from Wanye about when he and Jay got in a car accident on the QE2 back in the day. Thankfully, the boys were all okay despite the severity of the accident, but the story was jarring to hear for the first time. Chalmers also talked about his weekend at the Pigeon Lake Music Festival, and how it was a wonderful night of nostalgia and music.

  • Folk Fest Recap and the best Festivals in Edmonton
    Aug 11 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 rag tag crew of Wanye, Liam, Eli and Woz came together to talk about the best Edmonton festivals, the worlds largest everything, movie knowledge and 4 seconds of Oilers talk.


    Kicking off the Monday episode of the show Eli talked about his favourite 4 days of the entire summer (which is really saying something after we went to the cup final again this year) the Edmonton Folk Festival! Wanye and Eli were blown away by the roots on Saturday and quickly transitioned into discussing their other favourite Edmonton Festivals.


    Did you know that Edmonton has the world's biggest Milk Jug? Neither did any of us, but apparently Edmonton has a whole lineup of world's largest objects...


    From there the fellas talked about he best coming of age movies, and who the "Actor of the summer" is for this year. Pedro pascal may be running away with the yearly title.


    This episode is all over the place. We hope you enjoy us keeping it real on Real Life.

    Aug 7 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, Tyler is away on his honeymoon (not with Leon) so the B team of Wanye, Liam and Eli celebrated Eli's birthday, Discussed irrelevant music knowledge, and weighed in on who they thought should be in the top 100 Oilers.


    Kicking off the podcast The boys discussed Eli's birthday plans of kicking back and listening to some music with friends at folk fest. His one wish was for a dry weekend which was then promptly followed by a downpour of rain out the window.


    From there, Wanye called Drake a liar after finding out that Drake does not have more number one hits than The Beatles. His heart was broken, he never thought Drake would lie to him.


    Moving along, Liam and Eli shared their love for movies and Eli's movie money saving technique that he has now put Liam on to.


    Wrapping up the podcast, Liam brought up the top 100 Oilers of all time list, and had the boys wigh in on where they believe Leon Draisaitl should rank in this very very important list.

  • Counting down to Tyler's wedding
    Jul 31 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 wedding, hall passes, social media algorithms, and more.


    The guys started the Thursday episode of Real Life with a look at Tyler's wedding that's happening this weekend, and how this will be the last show he does for another two weeks. As you'll hear, despite his wedding being in only two days, Tyler still has plenty of things to do before the big day. That led to a discussion about the scratch tickets Tyler will be giving out to all attendees, and how Baggedmilk claims he wouldn't give the couple a cut if he wins big.


    Changing gears, Chalmers wanted to talk about Tyler's hole-in-one challenge. Chalmers has been playing a ton of golf lately, and he's very concerned about Yaremchuk's ability to achieve his goal based on an exhaustive list of variables. From the weather to fatigue to frustration, there is a list of items that need to be checked off if he has any chance of draining one. Somehow, talking about golf led to a discussion about social media algorithms not making any sense. Even when you don't think you're interested in things, sometimes the timeline serves up some wild stuff that locks you in.


    Finally, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of Real Life with a discussion about K-Days and how Chalmers was concerned about sending his kids on their own, given some of the mayhem you see on social media. Thankfully, the boys had a great time and an uneventful day, but having social media often showing the worst of us leads to these difficult decisions.

  • Tyler's putting green, Leon Draisaitl's wedding, and MLB economics
    Jul 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 minor annoyances that ruin your day, Tyler's wedding games, Erik Sabrowski's success in Cleveland, and anything else that came about.


    The guys started the Monday episode of Real Life with Tyler venting about his trip to A&W and not having ketchup included in his order. As you'll hear, our boy is very passionate about his fries, and not having the requested ketchup included in the bag was enough to ruin his afternoon. Too much? Probably, but Tyler's annoyance did lead to another round of talking about the Coldplay concert incident.


    Changing gears, Tyler then spoke about the putting green he built over the weekend, and how wedding guests will use it to earn more drink tickets. With drinks only $2 each, the idea of doubling your number of drink tickets seems unnecessary, but that doesn't mean everyone won't still have a good time anyway. Sticking with the wedding theme, the guys spent a few minutes discussing how the team will be congregating in Italy for Leon Draisaitl's wedding, and how everyone who is already there looks so relaxed and colour-coordinated ahead of the big day.


    Finally, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a discussion about baseball economics and how it's wild that league is able to hold daytime games and have thousands of people show up to watch. Talking about baseball led the guys to discuss how long it will be until friend of the show Erik Sabrowski is able to sign a big contract with the Cleveland Guardians.
