The Oilers found themselves on an extended break, which meant there was plenty of time for shenanigans on the Monday episode of the Real Life Podcast. On today's show, the guys discussed McDavid at the Canada Walk of Fame, what's coming with Shohei Ohtani, and the neverending Oilers break. 

Kicking off the podcast, the show started with a look at Connor McDavid being named to the Canadian Walk of Fame. Before the guys could even dig into the event, the topic changed almost immediately after the guys found out that Tyler met Kris Knoblauch at the U of A this past weekend. Getting back to the Canada Walk of Fame, the guys basically threw out every Canadian celebrity name they could think of to see if they found their way onto the Walk of Fame or not. Even though most of the names the guys came up with were included, there were a handful not yet named to the Walk of Fame, and the omissions were unacceptable to say the least. Changing gears, Tyler wanted to give an Ohtani update after what was admittedly a "bad weekend." Needless to say, a lot has changed over the last few days after varying MLB insiders have speculated that Ohtani has already made his decision and is leaving teams hopeful as a means of raking in more cash. Lastly, the fellas wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with some Oilers talk, as the team is still in 29th place overall even after the four-game win streak.

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 episode, the boys celebrated Jay's birthday, recapped Tyler's trip to Philly, and whatever else was on their minds as the week wound down.

Kicking off the Thursday episode of the podcast, the guys got started with a tribute to Jay Downton as he was celebrating his birthday, prompting everyone to talk about how they celebrated earlier birthdays. Changing gears, Tyler gave a quick recap of his trip to Philly and how it was a magical experience to be down on the field for a Buffalo Bills game. He also talked about going to Hamilton and Book of Mormon and how he enjoyed both shows immensely even though he didn't really know what to expect from either of them. Changing gears, Chalmers asked for advice about what to do with his Elf on the Shelf. After playing the game with his boys for years, Chalmers is tired of the stress of finding new places for the elf to sit for 25 straight days. Somehow, talking about Elf on a Shelf led the guys to tell stories about their houses almost burning down. Lastly, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of Real Life with a dose of Oilers talk after the team rattled off three wins in a row.

Life always feels a little bit better after an Oilers win, and given that the team has now won two in a row, the boys were in fine form on the Monday episode of Real Life. On today's podcast, the guys discussed the El Nino winter we're working through, the Oilers' two big wins, and some of the guys' favourite movies. 

Kicking off the podcast, the boys started with a discussion about the weather in Edmonton and how it's truly bizarre to have temperatures above zero in late November. But since it's too warm to ski and too cold to golf, this purgatory period is so strange given that we're used to having snow right now. Changing gears, the guys looked back at the Oilers' last two games and how those two wins were crucial for not only their spot in the standings but also the sanity of the fanbase. Digging into those two wins, there were so many players who picked up goals and points at a time when they desperately needed them, and the hope is now that they'll be able to keep the good times rolling. Shifting topics once again, the guys looked at the upcoming schedule and how the Oilers have some huge games coming over the next week or so. Lastly, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a conversation about how sitcoms have all but disappeared, as it seems no one wants to write jokes that may age poorly.

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 episode, the boys looked at the Elks being for sale, what's going on with the Oilers, and whether or not there's any path to fixing it. 

Kicking off the Thursday episode of the podcast, the guys started with a conversation about the Edmonton Elks being up for sale, and what the guys think they're worth. Obviously, it will take someone with plenty of dough to swoop in and safe the team, but what is for sure is that whoever buys them has an incredible chance to rebuild the once-proud franchise. Despite having nothing to do with this sale, the guys sure had plenty of nifty ideas for what the team could do to inspire attendance. Turning the podcast back to the Oilers, the guys had a hard time finding any positives about what's going on right now. From the results on the ice to the reactions online, nothing is going right for the Oilers right now and it's causing the fans to go insane. Frankly, the list of reasons to be upset gets longer by the day, and that has some of the boys wondering what that means for the team's two stars. Does punting this season mean the end of the McDavid era? It almost feels like that's the case, and that's a painful reality for anyone who cheers for this franchise.

The pain just keeps coming for Edmonton Oilers fans after a painful loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning that they should have won, 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 story from Wanye about buying a Stanley Cup ring off eBay after a Nation Citizen brought it to his attention. Needless to say, owning a Stanley Cup ring is one of the most hilarious stories to ever come out of this company. Talking about the modern-day Oilers, the guys looked at the Jack Campbell situation after Frank Seravalli talked about what it might take to get rid of that contract on today's episode of Oilersnation Everyday. Even if Ken Holland can find a dance partner, would it be worth the cost needed to get rid of our goalie? Changing gears, the guys spent a little bit of time talking about what was a very exciting Grey Cup. Given that Baggedmilk was expecting to take a nap during the game, the fact that he was actually live-tweeting the event was almost as surprising as Montreal's comeback. Lastly, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with an array of topics after the boys ran out of prep and stared at each other until they decided to pull the pin.

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 last weekend's Nation Vacation, the Oilers' comeback win, and Chalmers' favourite day of the week. 

Kicking off the Thursday episode of the podcast, the guys started with a recap of the #NationVacation to Seattle and how the weekend was a blast from start to finish. Jumping to the last night of the trip, the guys walked through the Aqua concert and how it was a night that Chalmers absolutely should have experienced. Backing up to the football game, the boys busted Tyler's balls a little bit after he decided to wear a Buffalo Bills jacket to a Seahawks/Commanders game. They then spent way too much time talking about the self-serve concession stands that are available in the States and how the technology is so bizarre to explain if you've never experienced it. Changing gears, the conversation turned to what was a wild week in Oil Country. From Coach Garlic coming in to replace Jay Woodcroft to finding themselves on a three-game, the last handful of days have been a rollercoaster. Yet, despite the drama, the Oilers have found a way to win some very important games that maybe they shouldn't have, which is a stark contrast from where we were a few weeks back. Lastly, the guys wrapped up the podcast with a random collection of topics, including refurbished hockey sticks, VLT etiquette, and so much more.

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.
