There's nothing better than winding down your week with a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast to make sense of what's happening in the world. On today's show, the guys looked at the Jack Campbell situation, previewed the Oilers vs. Sharks, and looked ahead at this weekend's #NationVacation. 

Kicking off the Thursday episode of the podcast, the guys started with a look at how dire the situation is for the Edmonton Oilers and whether or not there's any hope left. Kicking off the chat was whether or not sending Jack Campbell to the Condors will help turn things around and whether or not this contract is one of the worst deals in franchise history. The guys also wondered whether or not there would be an opportunity to actually move on from that contract without having to sell the farm to make it happen. The guys then spent the next few minutes looking back at Monday's matchup against the Canucks and how the night unravelled as the game wore on. Changing gears, Chalmers gave us the latest installment in his ongoing series of complaining about school schedules. The good news is that the school talk led to Chalmers kicking off another riveting rendition of his signature bit, Keep It . Lastly, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics ranging from game day bets to anything else that came up at the moment.

The pain just keeps coming for Edmonton Oilers fans after the team extended its run of pain with a 5-2 loss to the Predators, which meant there was plenty to talk about on the Monday episode of the Real Life podcast.

Kicking off the Monday episode of Real Life, the boys started with a conversation about how depressing the Oilers' situation is right now. With a 2-7-1 record to start the season, the Oilers couldn't do much worse if they tried. Then again, at least they're better than the Sharks, right? RIGHT?! The Oilers talk didn't last even a minute, though, as Chalmers immediately changed the topic so he could lament about the Arizona Cardinals. Turning back to hockey, the guys wondered how the Oilers could have so much skill on the roster while still being unable to put it all together. How can they up the urgency? How can they pull each other into the fight? After spending most of the podcast trying to figure out the Oilers, the conversation turned to TV shows that have gone on for decades. From The Simpsons' incredible run to when Chalmers should let his kid watch South Park, it's impressive that some of these programs just seem to go on forever even as their audience seemingly ages out.

It's Friday afternoon, the Oilers racked up another painful loss due to mistakes last night against the Stars, and we're back with a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio to try and make sense of why this is happening. Unfortunately, things aren't going so well right now after yet another loss led Oilers fans to walk off the ledge. 

To kick off the podcast, we started with a look at last night's game against the Dallas Stars and argued whether that loss resulted from bad luck or poor play. Even though no one wants to hear it, the Oilers didn't play poorly last night, but the problem was that every mistake they made wound up in the back of the net. On the other end of the spectrum, was there anyone who delivered for the Oilers? Can anyone say they played their best outside of Sam Gagner and Evander Kane? Changing gears, we looked at Sam Gagner's return to the Oilers' lineup and how a spectacular performance nearly dragged the team into a tie game. Speaking of roster moves, we also looked at Philip Broberg being loaned to the Bakersfield Condors and whether or not he should stay in the AHL for a bit to regain his confidence. Is that even an option for the Oilers right now? Lastly, we wrapped up the Friday episode of Oilersnation Radio with another round of Ask the Idiots, Kennedy's quote game, and Hot and Cold performers.

There's nothing better than wrapping up your week with a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast to make sense of what's happening in the world.

Kicking off the Thursday episode of the podcast, the guys started with a random conversation about Celine Dion after Wanye read some news that he absolutely had to share while the intro was rolling. Needless to say, hearing that the Canadian pop icon isn't doing well was enough to merit a quick conversation. Changing gears, the guys looked at the Oilers' Halloween outfits and how the boys really leaned into the Harry Potter theme. However, not everyone was dressed as a wizard, as players like Leon Draisaitl, Mattias Ekholm, and Connor McDavid went the couples costume route. Changing gears, the guys then looked at the economics of podcasting after Tyler taught the guys that there's a podcast in New York that pays Aaron Boone over $1 million/year to be a guest on their show. Hearing about an active MLB manager being on podcasts had the guys wondering what it would be like if Jay Woodcroft was ever willing to sit in on our nonsense. Would we be too nice? Would we question his lineup choices? Lastly, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics ranging from game day bets to a new segment Tyler pitched about news stories worth watching.

The Heritage Classic is in the books, and the Oilers defeated the Flames with a dominating 5-2 win, which meant there was plenty to talk about on the Monday episode of the Real Life podcast. 

Kicking off the Monday episode of Real Life, we started with a recap of what was a very intense week in the City of Champions. With the Heritage Classic happening at Commonwealth Stadium on Sunday, something was going on every night, which ensured the boys weren't feeling their freshest this morning. As you'll hear, the Heritage Classic win turned into an afterparty at Greta, leading to a longer night than anyone expected. Wanye then told a story about his car breaking down and how he had to watch the game from a unique location. Unfortunately, that location he watched the game from was arguably the worst of all time. Lastly, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of the podcast with some food talk after all the guys ended their Sunday evening enjoying a bunch of really random foods. From ordering pizza to cold donairs to Tyler's veggies, everyone was being so creative.

There's nothing better than wrapping up your week with a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast to make sense of what's happening in the world. 

Kicking off the Thursday episode of Real Life, the guys started the podcast with a very random conversation about learning to drive. Somehow, talking about learning to drive led the guys to tell old sleepwalking and sleep-talking stories for the next 15 minutes. As you'll hear, there's a lot of strangeness going on with the fellas on this podcast. Turning back to the Oilers, the guys broke down Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Wild and how that had to be one of the most disheartening losses in recent memory. Not only did the Oilers blow three separate leads in that game, but they also gave us one of the worst third periods you could ever imagine. Changing gears, Chalmers brought back his Keeping It 100 segment and promised to do it every Thursday episode. As you'll hear, this week's rant was one for the ages, and the other guys struggled to keep it together while it was happening. The podcast ended with some betting talk ahead of tonight's game between the Edmonton Oilers and New York Rangers. Tyler also gave his take on the World Series and offered up a prediction on the Rangers and Diamondbacks' chances of winning.

It's been a trying time for Oilers fans through these first couple of weeks of the season, and that led to a spicy Monday episode of the Real Life podcast.

Kicking off the Monday episode of Real Life, the guys got going with the Sam Gagner contract news that came out earlier this morning. Now that Gagner is getting set to kick off his year with the Condors, we wondered how long it may take for Samwise to make the jump back to the NHL. From there, the guys started doing an ad read for Alberta Blue Cross before quickly getting derailed by the news of an Aqua concert that's happening while the fellas are in Seattle. Since the boys will be going to a football game on that trip to Seattle, Chalmers asked Tyler what the hell is going on with Buffalo as the Bills just dropped a game to one of the league's worst teams. Getting back to the Oilers, the guys discussed the Oilers' implosion from Saturday night and how that loss resulted from avoidable errors that simply cannot happen. And now that the team will be without Connor McDavid for the next week or two, the boys wondered who will step up in the captain's absence and whether or not the team can turn this skid around without their best player. Lastly, the guys wrapped up the Tuesday episode of Real Life with another round of podcast reviews after a few people dropped us a line about the podcast and its meaning to them.

Thursday afternoon means the boys are back with a fresh episode of the Real Podcast, and after a big Oilers win, there were countless topics for the boys to cover.

Kicking off the Thursday episode of Real Life, the guys started with a breakdown of Tuesday's win against the Nashville Predators. From Leon's dominance to Connor McDavid's ridiculous spin goal, the Oilers gave us their best effort of the season, and the results were exactly what we all needed after opening the year with two straight losses. Somehow, talking about the Oilers beating the snot out of the Predators led Chalmers to keep it 100 about how planning your life changes significantly after you have kids. So, when it comes to Halloween, it's hard for parents to hit up parties when they have to figure out what's happening with their kids first. The guys then discussed what is the best candy to give out on Halloween and whether the Chalmers family should give out pops or full-sized chocolate bars. Thankfully, the boys were able to help diffuse the situation with some stellar advice. From there, the podcast really fell off the rails as the guys wandered through an array of topics without being able to stick to anything for longer than a few seconds. If you're a fan of the pod wandering into randomness, this Thursday episode is for you.

Given the hype surrounding the Edmonton Oilers in the weeks leading up to the season, it's no surprise that Nation Citizens everywhere feel salty after how things have gone so far. On the Monday episode of Real Life, the guys dig into what the hell is going on with this team, what comes next, and how they can rebound from here. 

Kicking off the Monday episode of Real Life, the guys got going with a look at the Oilers' 0-2 start to the season and how this was not how we expected things to go. Despite trying to find some silver linings, the reality is that it's nearly impossible to feel good about two avoidable losses. Talking about the Oilers led Tyler to tell a story from Saturday night and how an angry fan behind him almost kicked off a fight in the stands. Chalmers then talked about the Wu-Tang concert from Friday night and how it was a spectacular performance by the group even though they're older guys now. Despite being worried about the mix and guys yelling over each other, Wu-Tang and Nas put on a fantastic show that every rap fan would enjoy. Somehow, talking about rap led the guys to complain about plastic straws and paper bags again after another run of mishaps in the drive-through. Lastly, the podcast wrapped up with the usual gauntlet of random topics as the boys bounced in and out of varying stories and questions before finally winding down the Monday episode.

It's Thursday afternoon, the Oilers got dummied on opening night, and that meant there was plenty to talk about on the newest episode of the Real Life Podcast.

Kicking off the Thursday episode of Real Life, the guys started off with a look at last night's disastrous affair in Vancouver. Needless to say, dropping the first game by a touchdown is the last thing any of us expected to happen given how hyped everyone was to get going. Changing gears, Jay told a story from last night's season launch party where a random person approached him to say that Mattias Ekholm needed hip surgery. Despite not being real, this news kept Jay awake as he scoured Twitter for any news confirming or denying it. From there, the podcast fell off the rails as you'd expect from Real Life as the guys wandered in and out of a handful of topics. From Big Brother to gas station shenanigans to betting strategies for Saturday, this was one of the spiciest episodes of Real Life that the boys have recorded in quite some time.
