A new week has landed and that means the boys are back with a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast recorded to help make sense of the world around us. This week, the guys covered how they spent their Father's Day, learning to drive, creating a better vibe at Rogers Place, and a whole lot more.

To kick off the Monday episode of the Real Life podcast, the show got started with a look at Father's Day and how everyone spent the day. From Wanye getting a framed picture of Lil Wanye to Baggedmilk commenting on his dad's retirement gear to Yaremchuk holding hands with his old man, the guys spent a few minutes talking about their dads and what it was like to spend the day together. From there, the conversation turned to the history of NationGear as Tyler asked Wanye, Baggedmilk, and Jay about their favourite gear designs from throughout the years, and how the clothing line has evolved over the years. Getting back to the Oilers, the conversation turned to the dressing room as the boys tried to guess which Oilers would be the best future broadcasters when their NHL careers are over. Would it be Draisaitl? Mike Smith? Someone else? Next up, the guys emptied the answering machine as Nation Citizens have been having a lot of fun leaving messages for the show. Looking ahead at next season, Tyler wanted to know what everyone thought the Oilers could do to try and bolster the atmosphere at Rogers Place, especially after we're seeing how much fun Islanders and Golden Knights fans are having at their games right now.

Thursday means that your workweek is winding down and that the boys from the Real Life Podcast have a new episode in the books and ready for your ear holes. On today’s podcast, the guys covered the new Nation HQ, disc golf, our new answering machine, current events, and a whole lot more.   Kicking off today’s podcast, the guys got started with Tyler Yaremchuk's confession that he broke into the new Nation HQ building and wandered around for a little personal tour despite the fact that it's not yet opened. From the pub (Dogpatch) to the bakery (Bread + Butter) to the new recording studio, Tyer had plenty of good things to say about the new office and what's to come. Changing gears, the guys got back into their disc golf dreams after Chalmers got an email from Eric Moon, a loyal Real Life listener and avid disc chucker. Will this email be the first step to actually getting out and rattling the chains? Sticking with summer sports, Baggedmilk asked the guys for some help with his pursuit of new golf clubs now that he's decided he wants to get out of his house after a year and a half indoors. Lastly, the guys wrapped up this week's podcast by launching a new segment called Current Events with Chalmers that may or may not happen on a weekly basis.

A new week has landed and that means the boys are back with a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast recorded to help make sense of the world around us. This week, the guys covered even more food talk, TikTok trends, Brazilian statues, and a whole lot more.   To kick off the Monday episode of the Real Life podcast, the guys started the podcast in the most random way imaginable after Baggedmilk posted on Twitter that he tried the TikTok trend of eating watermelon with mustard on it. Somehow, that kicked off a chat about TikTok stars fighting each other and how Chalmers apparently knows more about the social platform than he cares to admit. Steering the show back to the Oilers, the guys reminisced about Fernando Pisani's OT goal from 15 years ago as he closed out Game 5 in the most dramatic fashion. Somehow the Oilers talk led the guys into a conversation about Brazil and how the city of Encantado is building a bigger statue of Jesus than the original that's in Rio de Janeiro. Lastly, the guys wrapped up the podcast with a little bit of betting talk after Jay made some coin betting on the Islanders to beat the Bruins and has decided they will be his team for the rest of the playoffs.

Another Thursday has landed on the calendar and that means a brand new episode of the Real Life Podcast is here and ready to get you set for the weekend. On today’s show, the guys covered their new intro, Chalmers coaching baseball, spoke to Trent Wilhauk from Wilhauk Beef Jerky, and a whole lot more.

Kicking off today's podcast, the guys jumped in with a chat about the podcast intro that Tyler is working on and how Wanye demands a Soulja Boy cameo to be included. From there, the guys talked a little bit about the Edmonton Oilers, specifically the reaction that came out last night when the Oilers re-signed Devin Shore to a two-year contract. If there's one thing we all know about Oilers, it's that the fanbase is unbelievably passionate about the team and even a depth signing like Shore can kick off a firestorm. From there, the guys welcomed Trent Wilhauk from Wilhauk Beef Jerky to the podcast to talk about his passion for jerky as well how it came to be that he is now an owner of the Olds Grizzlys. Lastly, the guys wrapped up the podcast with what turned out to be another passionate food talk that waded into the waters of the best road trip snacks as well as where to find the best Slurpees in the city.

After what we hope was a fantastic weekend for all of you, the boys are back with a brand new episode of the Real Life podcast to get your week started. On today's show, the guys covered the Floyd Mayweather vs Logan Paul fight, checked in on what's going on with the new studio, disc golf, and a whole lot more.   Kicking off today's podcast, the guys got started with a look back at the Logan Paul vs Floyd Mayweather fight that basically everyone was talking about for the last few weeks. Despite being a fake fight, it was incredible to see how much hype was built up around their beef regardless of the fact that it was all theatre made up by the fighters to get the people going. From there, the conversation turned to who we would all want to fight in the local media landscape regardless of whether or not there is any beef there. Next up, the guys spent some time talking about the new recording studio that is scheduled to open later this summer, and whether or not it may make sense to switch up the recording times for the show when everyone is able to get back together again. Lastly, the podcast wrapped up with a little bit of Oilers talk despite Chalmers hating that we're bringing up hockey during the offseason or at any other time really.

Another Thursday is upon us and that means a brand new episode of the Real Life Podcast is here and ready to get you set for the weekend. On today’s show, the guys were pumped to welcome former Edmonton Oiler enforcer, Luke Gazdic, to the podcast to learn about his journey in hockey and what comes next after recently announcing his retirement. 

Kicking things off, the guys got started with a look at the last few days in the NHL that were jampacked with all different kinds of storylines. From the Maple Leafs getting knocked out by Montreal after dropping three straight to Mark Scheifele's hit in game one of their series, the guys offered their thoughts on all things NHL. Next up, the guys were thrilled to welcome former Oiler, Luke Gazdic, to talk about his career, recent retirement, and learn a little bit about his journey to professional hockey. From start to finish, this interview was fantastic to listen to as Luke ran through his come-up, what it was like to play in front of a full barn at Rexall Place, how much it meant for him that the fanbase had his back, and what it was like to hang out with Joey Moss. Finally, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of Real Life by taking a few guesses as to which NHLers we think are the ones Gazdic mentioned in his equipment story, which was still blowing everyone's minds long after he got off the Zoom call.

A week removed from the disappointing playoff sweep at the hands of the Jets, the boys are back with a brand new episode of the Real Life Podcast to help make sense of what's to come for our beloved Edmonton Oilers. This week, the guys covered Game 7 between the Habs and Leafs, baseball, and a whole lot more.

Kicking off today's podcast, the guys jumped in with a quick discussion about Game 7 in the series between the Canadiens and Leafs, specifically how everyone on the podcast is pulling for Montreal to complete the comeback. Needless to say, the chaos of a Toronto loss would be so much fun to watch because of what the reaction would look like amongst Leafs nation. From there, Chalmers offered up one of his classic rants about Ryan Reaves getting tossed from game one in the Vegas/Colorado series, and whether or not he knew what was going on during the melee. Next up, the conversation turned to baseball after Baggedmilk decided that he is now a big Jays guy after the Oilers were so rudely swept out of the playoffs. Somehow, that conversation about baseball turned into a walk down memory lane after the Friends reunion got massive numbers on HBO after being launched last week. Lastly, the guys wrapped up the podcast by quickly trying to catch up with Tyler's prep list to see if they could touch on all of the items he had written down for today's episode.

We are back with another episode of the Real Life Podcast and sadly, it is our first episode since the Oilers were eliminated from the playoffs. It was a tough week to be a Nation Citizen considering the Oilers were bounced and we started the podcast off by talking about the loss. We were then joined by our friend Dusty LaGrande from M.O.B.I.L.I.Z.E who talked about the unfortunate racism that Ethan Bear had to experience and the reaction to it.

  The Oilers season is done and we discussed how we felt about that. We also talked about why we're still feeling a little optimistic about what's next for our favourite hockey team. The end of the season also came with an ugly story surrounding Ethan Bear, who had to deal with an unfortunate racist incident. We were joined by Dusty from M.O.B.I.L.I.Z.E to talk about the incident, how Ethan handled it, and more. As always, Dusty was inspiring and really helped educate us. We wrapped up the pod with a little bit of betting talk with Scott from Oddsshark.

The first three games of the Oilers' Stanley Cup run are in the books and, needless to say, things have not gone the way anyone would have expected which had the boys on the Real Life podcast fired up and ready to break it all down. On today's podcast, the guys looked at what's going wrong with the Oilers, previewed tonight's elimination game, and anything else that's going on in life. 

Kicking off today's podcast, the guys got started with a look at last night's devastating loss in game three and tried to make sense of what the hell happened. As far as disappointing losses go, this one has to rank up there with some of the most heartbreaking moments Oilers fans have experienced in recent memory. While there is still a slim chance that the Oilers may be able to come back, it goes without saying that they're going to need a whole lot of luck and hard work if they're going to get anywhere close. No matter how you slice it, this series has not gone the way that Oilers fans (and pundits) have expected and it will be interesting to see what (if anything) the boys have left in the tank for tonight's elimination game.

Game one of the Oilers' Stanley Cup run is in the books and, needless to say, it did not go the way we wanted which had the boys on the Real Life podcast fired up and ready to break it all down. On today's podcast, the guys looked at what went wrong in game one, what needs to change ahead of Friday's rematch, and welcomed Scott Hastings from OddsShark to break down the latest NHL news and what’s going on in the world of sports gambling.

Kicking things off, the guys got started with a recap from last night's hockey game and expressed their frustrations and disappointment with the way the series started. From a slow start to a couple of tough bounces against, the Oilers didn't look horrible by any means but it goes without saying that they need to pick things up ahead of game two. Changing gears, the guys started talking about Drake showing up at the Lakers games last night, which was another excuse to bring up the old story of when Jay got caught cheering for the Calgary Flames. Getting the show back on track, Tyler asked the guys to come up with a few keys that the Oilers need to take with them into game two to ensure that they head to Winnipeg with the series tied at one apiece. Finally, the guys wrapped up today’s podcast by welcoming Scott Hastings from OddsShark to help break down the latest betting trends from the NHL, recap the week that was, and offer up details on the latest news from the world of sports.
