  • Oilers are on the ropes, but they're not out
    Apr 24 2025

    Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and ready to help you through the rest of your work week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed The Last of Us, Wednesday's Game 2 loss, where the Edmonton Oilers go from here, and much more.


    The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a conversation about anything other than the Edmonton Oilers. Instead, Chalmers ranted about The Last of Us after Wednesday's episode dropped a bombshell on viewers that our man did not see coming. Given that no one else on the podcast watches the show, the conversation didn't last more than a few seconds. If you're a fan of the show, however, you probably know what Chalmers was talking about.


    Changing gears, the boys got a second rant from Chalmers about the state of the Oilers. After dropping Game 2 more disappointingly than the first game, it was incredibly frustrating to watch a veteran team like this battle the details of their game as much as they are. Whether you're concerned with the goaltending, the defensive coverage, the lack of offence, or all of the above, there's little doubt that there are countless issues the Oilers need to sort out if they have any hope of getting back in the series.


    On a positive note, Tyler offered a few reasons why Oilers fans should be hopeful. As good as the Kings are at Crypto.com Arena, they are equally bad as the away team, which could give Edmonton an avenue to chip away at the deficit. As much as hoping for the best is part of the Oilersnation brand — Hope Will Never Die after all — it can be a battle when the team looks as down as they are right now, but the mission for Friday is to bring the good vibes anyway.

  • Wanye's toilet problems, Tyler's wooden shoes, and the Oilers' playoff run
    Apr 17 2025

    Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and ready to help you through the rest of your work week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed Tyler's childhood footwear, Wanye's broken toilet, and previewed the Oilers vs. Kings series which is set to kick off on Monday.


    The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a conversation about the Mega Stream that Tyler and Liam will be doing on Monday in anticipation of Game 1 against the Kings. As you'll hear, the boys have some fun stuff planned to fill up an eight-hour stream, and you'll want to subscribe to the Oilersnation YouTube page to ensure you're involved in the hijinks.


    Changing gears, Chalmers discussed his driving fear of going underneath overpasses with trains on them. Although there has never been a situation involving a train accident of any kind, he still feels anxious anytime he drives under a train. That story led Tyler to talk about his hatred of stairs and how he wore clogs with bells on them as a kid. Despite his story not making sense, the boys had a healthy chuckle to hear about the oddness of his childhood footwear.


    Next up on the docket was a story about Chalmers running over to Wanye's house this morning to fix his running toilet. If you remember, Chalmers had a situation in one of his rentals where a running toilet resulted in a $3800 water bill, so the trauma from that story still lives rent-free in his mind. As you'll hear, Wanye Manor is as much a place to hold inventory for his projects as it is a place for him to live, in addition to having a broken toilet that is basically unfixable.


    Finally, the boys wrapped up the Thursday episode of Real Life with a discussion about the Oilers' playoff run that will kick off Monday. Starting with the schedule, the guys wondered what would have to happen in the world for the Oilers to play earlier than 8PM so that the rest of the league can watch what is turning out to be the best rivalry in hockey.

  • Rory McIlroy's grand slam, injury-riddled Oilers, and the NHL playoff picture
    Apr 14 2025

    Nothing is better than a fresh episode of the Real Life podcast to recap the weekend and start your week. On the Monday episode of Real Life, the guys discussed the Masters final day, the Oilers' playoff run, and much more.


    The guys kicked off the Monday episode of Real Life with an array of random topics, including everyone's anticipation of the Oilers' playoff run and Rory McIlroy's Masters win from Sunday. Starting with the golf, the guys spoke about how awesome it was to see Rory get the grand slam after over a decade of trying to win that fourth major. Seeing as there was plenty of history about blown opportunities for Rory, watching him overcome that adversity was fantastic in every possible way.


    This past weekend was an incredible sports weekend, and it was a lot of fun to watch the Oilers handle their business despite being shorthanded only moments after one of the most exciting Masters finishes ever. To assess the Oilers' situation, the guys started by discussing Mattias Ekholm's season-ending injury and how that is a massive blow to Edmonton's playoff aspirations. No matter how you slice it, that is an enormous loss for an Edmonton team that has been questionable defensively all season.

    Sticking with the NHL, the guys discussed some of the playoff races that are still happening, with only a few games left in the schedule, including Calgary's path to the playoffs if they keep winning. As you'll hear, there are plenty of storylines to follow during this last week of the regular season, and it will be fascinating to see how everything shakes out. The only problem with the conversation is that there was a lot of math involved, so you'll want to sharpen your pencil and bring your calculators.

  • Connor McDavid's Oilers return, meme coins, and the Masters
    Apr 10 2025

    Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and ready to help you through the rest of your work week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed Oodle Noodle's origin story, Connor McDavid's return to the lineup, meme coins, and much more.


    The guys started the Thursday show with a history of Oodle Noodle as the Jay and Wanye-led restaurant chain turned 20 years old on Thursday. From how they formed a relationship with the founder, Sonny, to travelling to Vietnam to formalize the relationship, hearing the Oodle Noodle origin story was a wonderful trip down memory lane.

    Changing gears, the guys discussed Connor McDavid's return to the lineup on Wednesday night against the St. Louis Blues and how his surprising return was not only welcomed but also incredibly productive. Not only was it incredible to see McDavid back on the ice with his teammates, but to have him go supernova in his first time out was an incredible display of dominance in a game Edmonton needed to win.


    Unable to stick to one topic for more than a few seconds, the conversation shifted to Wanye's Tyler Yaremchuk A.I. doll, which prompted Yaremchuk to confess that he is Oilersnation. If you've seen the photo, A.I. did a fantastic job creating a Tyler doll, but Yaremchuk worries that people will think he's making these images of himself. Could this be a long con to get Tyler even more hate than he already does online? Stay tuned.


    Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast with a collection of random topics that ranged from the Masters tournament, NBA shenanigans, and some betting talk about all things sports. As always, the Thursday episode of Real Life was as random as it was enjoyable.

  • Trent Frederic re-injures himself, Alex Ovechkin breaks Gretzky's record, and Will Smith
    Apr 7 2025

    Monday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life is ready to help you start your week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed Trent Frederic's latest injury, Rexall Place memories, Will Smith's return, and much more.

    The guys started the Monday episode by discussing Trent Frederic's ankle injury again against the L.A. Kings on Saturday afternoon. Despite playing only 7:10 in TOI, Frederic re-injured his ankle and will now miss the rest of the regular season, with the goal of returning to the playoffs. Considering Frederic got re-injured in his first game as an Oiler, the fellas discussed the comparison to Mike Green playing on two games after the trade to Edmonton and refusing to return for the bubble playoffs.

    Sunday marked the ninth anniversary of Rexall Place closing, so the guys spent the next few minutes talking about the old barn and comparing the vibes to how they are now at Rogers Place.

    Next, there was a discussion about Alex Ovechkin breaking Wayne Gretzky's record and speculation about whether he will finish out the last season on his contract or go to the KHL. Either way, it's an incredible feat for Ovi and it will be interesting to what his next move looks like.

    Finally, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a little bit of baseball talk after the Jays signed Vladdy to a monster deal worth $500 million over the next 14 years. They also discussed Will Smith's return to the stage as the Fresh Prince tries to rebuild his image after the infamous Chris Rock slap.

  • The #NationVacation recap, Oilers win, and Alex Ovechkin's goal chase
    Apr 3 2025

    Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and ready to help you through the rest of your work week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed the #NationVacation to Vegas, Alex Ovechkin's goal chase, and much more.

    The guys started the Thursday episode of Real Life with a recap of the #NationVacation to Las Vegas and how it was a magical few days for the crew on Fremont Street. Starting with the way the boys cleaned up at the craps table, Baggedmilk updated Chalmers on how much money everyone made and how the trio can't seem to lose when they play together.

    From there, the guys started a semantic argument about the Ovechkin goal record chase and how the goals/game should be factored in once the record is tied. As you'll hear, most of the boys don't care much about those kinds of things, but that didn't stop Jay and Tyler from getting into it anyway.

    The guys started to wrap up the Thursday episode of Real Life with some Oilers talk about the injuries they're still battling and whether players like Connor McDavid and Stuart Skinner will be back before the playoffs. Given how tight the race is between the Oilers and the Kings, finding ways to win these last eight games has to be the focus.


    Finally, the Thursday episode of Real Life wound down with some baseball talk about the Jays and the new torpedo bats that seem to be taking the MLB by storm. Tyler and Chalmers then discussed some golf stories that have propped up lately, and we also gave Chalmers Jakey Baby's feedback that he's not a real golf fan. As always, the Thursday episode of Real Life was as random as it was enjoyable.

  • The Nation Vacation Friendship Tour
    Mar 31 2025

    We're in Las Vegas for the Nation Vacation and what better way to celebrate than having a whole friendship tour. From the YouTube chat to the pod we had lots of our nation family hop on the headset for this chaotic poolside episode.

  • A Rucking Good Time
    Mar 27 2025

    Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and ready to help you through the rest of your work week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed Wednesday's Oilers game, the What Chaos boys, and much more.


    The guys started the Thursday episode of Real Life with a discussion about Chalmers ignoring the boys regarding the March 18th Oilers game despite being invited by both Baggedmilk and Tyler. For some reason, Chalmers claims he did not notice the missed phone calls or messages but wanted to thank the boys for the gesture anyway.


    Changing gears, the podcast got derailed by the What Chaos boys after DJ Bean lost his wallet in the podcast studio. After a few minutes of chaos — pardon the pun — DJ found his wallet, and the boys left the studio. What no one expected, however, is that Chalmers used the opportunity to air out a six-year-old beef he has with Pete Blackburn allegedly stealing one of his tweets. As you'll hear, Chalmers may have an argument about his stolen tweet, but the real question is how Pete will respond.

    Sticking with the topic of fighting, the guys walked through some old fighting stories from when they were younger and how it's incredible that no one had camera phones in those days. Needless to say, if there is a benefit to being older, it has to be that most of our childhood was not captured on social media. Thankfully, those insane memories are gone forever.


    Turning the podcast back to the Oilers, the guys walked through Wednesday's game against the Dallas Stars and how it was an exciting night at Rogers Place even though the team couldn't complete the comeback. Despite a horrible run of luck, injuries, and strong goaltending by Jake Oettinger, the game was all over the map, from excitement to heartbreaking. Then again, if you've been an Oilers fan for any length of time, these down periods feel almost like home.
