Another Thursday is here which means another episode of the Real Life Podcast is here to wrap up the week and get you set for the weekend. 

Off the top of the show, the boys were thrilled to welcome Nation Network senior writer, Cam Lewis, to the show after he finally made his way back to Canada after a year and change in Ireland. From life in lockdown in a foreign country to trying to keep up on the North American sports scene, Cam had all kinds and flavours of stories to share regarding life in Europe and what it was like to be abroad. From there, the boys tried to convince Tyler that he should broaden his worldview by travelling a little bit more, but their suggestions may have fallen on deaf ears seeing as the first roadblock he threw up was the length of the flight over. Getting back to sports, Tyler and Cam spent some time talking about the Toronto Blue Jays and what to expect from the Jays heading into the playoffs. Seeing as neither Wanye or Baggedmilk are baseball guys, they did what they could to steer the conversation back into the ditch. Thankfully, they didn't have to work too hard before getting the podcast back to nonsense, including the quality of dairy products in the UK and the time Wanye carried jars of peanut butter from country to country. Lastly, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of the podcast with a quick look at the Adam Cracknell signing and whether or not the annoyance by some Oilers fans has been justified.

The long weekend may be over but the good news is that we've got a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast to get your week started.   To kick off the podcast, Baggedmilk and Tyler were the lone soldiers to show up for the start of the podcast so they took the chance to talk about their long weekends, music, and what they're watching on TV. Back to business, the guys were joined by Scott Hastings from OddsShark as he helped break down the NHL playoffs, the latest betting trends, the upcoming NFL season, and the latest news from the world of sports. Sticking with the NFL for a moment, the discussion turned to the Miami Dolphins allowing 13,000 fans to attend their home opener and whether or not that's a good idea. Depending on how things go with football allowing people in their stadiums, would it be automatic that the NHL would follow suit when their season kicks off? Changing gears, the guys looked at the NHL free agency period that starts on October 9th and which players the Oilers may look at to bolster their roster. Back to football, Tyler and Baggedmilk were joined late by Jay, Chalmers, and Josh Park and the group discussed their fantasy football leagues and their associated strategies that go along with putting together the perfect team. Lastly, the guys wrapped up the podcast with a look at what’s going on in the Big Brother house, breaking down the latest competitions, who’s making mistakes, and what to expect from the upcoming week.

Another Thursday is upon us which means another episode of the Real Life Podcast is here to wrap up the week and get you set for the long weekend. This week, the guys look at Chalmers' time away from the podcast, the Oilers' disappointing play-in round, the NHL playoffs, and a whole lot more. 

To kick off the Thursday episode of the podcast, the guys got started by welcoming Chalmers back to the podcast after a month away for work. From raising a building on Vancouver Island to turning down a dancing role in a Hallmark Channel movie to learning how TV remotes work, it goes without saying that Chalmers' time away from the show was incredibly eventful and the story is something you'll want to hear for yourself. Getting back to hockey, Chalmers finally got the chance to unload on the Oilers after their disappointing play-in series against the Chicago Blackhawks, which rekindled all of the anger and hurt feelings despite the team getting bumped out nearly a month ago. Sticking with hockey, the guys looked at the NHL playoffs and laid out their predictions on how the rest of the second round will shake out, including a discussion on which teams they're putting some money on to go deep. Lastly, the guys wrapped up today's podcast with a look at what's going on in the Big Brother house, breaking down the veto competition, who's making mistakes, and what to expect from tonight's eviction ceremony.

A brand new week means it's time for a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast to get your week started while also helping you navigate the world around you. On today’s podcast, the boys looked at hockey memories, the best place to sit for a game, and welcomed Scott Hastings from OddsShark to discuss all things sports betting.

Off the top, the boys jumped into today's podcast with a look at Tyler's room in Canmore and why the guys were forced to record so early in the day. Dedicated to his craft and producing, Yaremchuk's commitment to the podcast was incredible despite Baggedmilk and Wayne refusing to stay on topic or answer any of the questions he had prepared for today's show. After getting the podcast back on topic, the boys discussed their first hockey memories, where is the best place to sit to watch a game, and how that impacts their love of the game. Lastly, the guys wrapped things up by welcoming Scott Hastings from OddsShark to the podcast as he helped to break down the NHL playoffs, the latest betting trends, and the latest news in the world of sports.

It's Thursday which means another episode of the Real Life Podcast is here to get you set for the weekend.    To start off today's podcast, the guys looked at the what can be described as a historic moment in sports after professional leagues have postponed games in the effort to raise awareness for racial inequality. While there is no doubt that more change needs to happen, it was refreshing for everyone to see professional athletes using their platform to further the conversation and create awareness in a landscape that needs it. From there, the guys welcomed new Nation videographer, Josh Park, to the podcast to talk about his role with the website and what got him interested in making videos. As you'll hear in the interview, Josh is incredibly passionate about not only hockey but also about making content that generates a reaction. From his work with the Nation to the charity videos he makes for Oodle Noodle, it was fun to hear how excited Josh was about his new role and what's yet to come. Lastly, the guys wrapped up the Thursday edition of the podcast with a fresh Big Brother conversation about what's been going down in the BB house over the past few days.

A new week means a new episode of the Real Life Podcast is here to get your week started while also helping you navigate the world around you. On today’s podcast, the boys looked at a few NHL rumours, Horse Force protecting Connor McDavid's house, and welcomed Scott Hastings from OddsShark to discuss all things sports betting.

  To kick off today's podcast, the boys jumped in with a look at Marc-Andre Fleury's agent, Allan Walsh, tweeting out a graphic of his client being stabbed in the back by the Vegas Golden Knights. Somehow Walsh's tweet led the guys into a conversation about whether or not they would be able to act as a player's agent and negotiate a fair deal. From there, they put on their GM's cap to try and figure out if they can swing some deals after Elliotte Friedman speculated that the Oliver Ekman-Larsson may be available in Arizona. Then, as usual, the podcast fell off the rails as the guys started coming up with a bunch of hypothetical scenarios that made very little sense, including surrounding Connor McDavid's house with the Horse Force for security, an Oilers-based mayoral campaign, and what Russian billionaires do on their yacht. Lastly, the guys wrapped up the show by welcoming Scott Hastings from OddsShark to the podcast as he helped to break down the NHL playoffs, the latest betting trends, and the latest news in the world of sports.

We're on the home stretch in the workweek and that means another episode of the Real Life Podcast is here to break down the wonders of life while also keeping you up to date on all things Edmonton Oilers. This week, the guys looked at hangover cures, sleepwalking stories, the latest episode of Big Brother, and horses taking over the world. 

Ignoring the podcast outline as they always do, the boys kicked off today's show with a look behind the scenes at how this project comes together. From driving Tyler nuts when they won't stop talking during the intro to completely tossing aside any prep that went into the episode, today's podcast went off the rails before it even got started as the guys got sidetracked by Words With Friends once again. Somehow the conversation about phone games led Tyler into wondering what age the other guys were when they started really feeling their hangovers. As the resident youngin on the podcast, Tyler still has a long ways to go before landing in two-day hangover territory so the guys were happy to teach him their ways of dealing with a long night of partying. Trying to get the podcast back on topic, the guys looked at goaltending options for the Edmonton Oilers and whether or not Ken Holland will be able to make the space needed to find an upgrade. Does it even make sense to spend a big chunk of whatever cap space is available on goaltending? Lastly, the guys wrapped up today's podcast with a look at Big Brother with everyone giving their takes on how tonight's eviction episode is going to play out.

A new week means a brand new episode of the Real Life Podcast to get your week started and help you navigate the strange times we're living in. On today's podcast, the boys looked at the NHL playoffs, how they can get over the Oilers getting bumped out early, and welcomed Scott Hastings from OddsShark to discuss all things sports betting. 

To kick things off, the boys got started with another look at Words With Friends and how everyone on the podcast is now obsessed with the app. On last week's Thursday episode, Tyler told the story of the internet love that's been blossoming on his own Words With Friends account, which has now inspired the rest of the crew to get back in the mix to reach for podcast spelling supremacy. Getting back to hockey, the guys spent a few minutes talking about the NHL playoffs, specifically which current series is the most angering to watch. Is it the Flames who are relying on some clutch performances by former Oilers to propel them forward? Is it the Canucks who have a young, talented core that has been playing some very entertaining hockey and taking it to the defending champs? The options were endless. On to important business, the boys discussed the first couple of weeks of Big Brother All-Stars and picked their horses in terms of who has the goods to make a run at the title. Needless to say, everyone was very excited about the return of their favourite summer show and could not wait to talk about it. Lastly, the guys wrapped up the show by welcoming Scott Hastings from OddsShark to the podcast as he helped to break down the NHL playoffs, the latest betting trends, and the latest news in the world of sports.

Welcome to a brand new Thursday episode of the Real Life Podcast to get you caught up on everything to do with the Edmonton Oilers and life in general. This week, the boys looked at what went wrong against Chicago, what the road out of darkness might look like, and a whole lot more.   To kick things off, the boys got started by revisiting the Oilers' playoff loss and how they haven't recovered from the disappointment in the six days that have passed since they got knocked out. From the goaltending to the defensive zone coverage to lack of intensity throughout the series, the Oilers made so many mistakes that it's hard to find many positives from their play-in round against Chicago. Regardless of where your solutions come from, the Oilers will need to find a way to make some significant changes despite the lack of cap space they have to get that done. Is it possible? Only time will tell. Lastly, we wrapped up this week's podcast with a few updates on Tyler's Words With Friends girlfriend, and the heartbreaking conclusion to his online relationship. We also got an update on Jay's back alley surveillance after he caught someone in the neighbourhood that was feeding the stray cats behind his house.

It was the best of times and it was the worst of times. After just six days, the Oilers playoff run has come to an end and we are here to tell you how we feel about it. Is there a reason to be angry? Sad? Hopeful? We let all of our emotions out this week on The Real Life Podcast (pres. by JAPA Machinery).

The qualifying round series against Chicago was heartbreaking for a handful of reasons but there are still plenty of reasons to be optimistic about the future of the Edmonton Oilers. We talked about a few of them today on the podcast and also touched on the big story of the day: the NHL Draft Lottery. If the Oilers win, how could it change their plans? Also, what team do we want to see win if it's not the Edmonton Oilers? We answered those questions.

We also kicked off a new segment! Every Monday on the podcast we will be joined by Scott Hastings from Oddsshark to go in-depth on the world of sports betting, with a close focus on the NHL!
