Nation Real Life

The off-season is in full swing and there's no Oilers news to talk about, which meant there was plenty of room for shenanigans on the Monday episode of the Real Life Podcast.Kicking off the Monday podcast, the boys got started with a little golf tourney promo that led to Liam telling a few stories from yesterday's round of golf with Tyler, Jay, and Chalmers. As you'll hear, Liam is not very good at the sport but the same cannot be said for those he was playing against. After showing up late to the podcast, Chalmers wanted to spend a little more time Jay's home run from last Thursday and how it was an incredible afternoon. With that out of the way, the guys got into all kinds of nonsense that ranged from toilet talk, where Tyler went, public art, and why Liam and Kennedy were sitting in on the podcast. Lastly, the squad wrapped up the Monday episode of the Real Life podcast with a Puckdoku breakdown as today's question featured an Oilers row, and we all know how much easier things get if our hometown squad is

The day finally came. Jay Downton took on ReMax Field and attempted to hit a home run at the famous Edmonton ballpark. Immediatley following the Home Run Derby, the guys sat on the field and knocked out a fresh episode of the podcast. They talked about the journey, their day at the park, the made up controversy surrounding the dinger, and what their next athletic feat should be. From there, they also talked a little bit about some Nation Vacation and let you in on how you could golf with either Tyler and Liam or Jay and Chalmers at the Oilersnation Open in September at the Millwoods Golf Club!

The off-season is in full swing and there's no Oilers news to talk about, which meant there was plenty of room for shenanigans on the Monday episode of the Real Life Podcast.Kicking off the Monday podcast, the boys gave the people exactly what you'd expect from an off-season episode of Real Life, meaning that they wandered all over the map before the show was even five minutes old. From Puckdoku being impossible to Chalmers' nerdy Wordle group chat to Wanye's ziplock bag wallet, this has to be one of the most random episodes of the pod that you've heard in quite some time. Trying to get the show back on the rails, the guys dove into some of the TV shows they're watching right now and how it can be a grind to fill your time when you're so used to sports taking up so much real estate. Changing gears again, the guys then talked about Oilersnation's night out at the Riverhawks game on Friday night and how it's always a great time down at the ballpark. Sticking with the Riverhawks, the guys walked through Thursday

Free agency is well underway, Chalmers showed up prepared with 10 topics, and that meant the boys had plenty to talk about on the 500th episode of the Real Life podcast.Kicking off the Thursday edition of the Real Life podcast, the guys got started with an argument about the 500th episode as some of the boys didn't know it was a milestone episode despite Tyler warning everyone days earlier. From there, Chalmers got into his list of topics, starting with Rick Ross' struggles on the diving board. With that first topic out of the way, the guys pivoted to the NHL Draft as Tyler and Jay told a few stories from their time in Nashville and how it was interesting to experience the spectacle from the draft floor. With the boring draft stuff out of the way, the boys then talked about some of the shenanigans that happened behind the scenes in Nashville, including some run-ins with Biz, Craig Button, and Mark Messier. From there, the guys dove into the home run derby that's set to take place at RE/MAX field next week. Af

The NHL Draft has come and gone, Kailer Yamamoto got traded to Detroit, and that meant the boys on the Real Life Podcast had a whole lot to talk about despite not really talking about any of it. Kicking off the Thursday episode of Real Life, the guys got started with the story about Wanye missing the Monday show with food poisoning and how it was a heartbreaking event given where it all happened. Somehow Wanye being ill led the guys to talk about random cocktails that have made him sick over the years. Changing gears entirely, Baggedmilk and Wanye talked about Bill C-18 that's popping up in Canada and how Meta and Google are combating the bill by suppressing Canadian content from their news feed. Needless to say, this news is less than ideal when it comes to our business. Changing gears, the boys spent the next few minutes talking about Kailer Yamamoto and Klim Kostin getting traded to the Detroit Red Wings and how it's such a bummer to lose both players for literally nothing. Lastly, the guys wrapped up

AMA Travel has sent us back on the road! Jay and Tyler are down in Nashville for the NHL Draft and they recorded a little bonus episode of the podcast to talk about their adventures on night one of the trip. They had sweet seats at the NHL Awards, saw both Connor Bedard and Connor McDavid, and they put back a few beverages at the after-party. It was a wild start to their week in Music City.Huge shoutout to this episode’s sponsors: Star Mechanical: https://starmechanical.ca Betway: https://betway.com/en-ca/  AMA Travel: https://www.amatravel.ca/Dream Wilhauk Beef Jerky: https://www.wilhaukbeefjerky.com Hosted on Acast.

Tyler and Jay are in Nashville for the NHL Entry Draft and Chalmers and Wanye forgot to show up for the Monday recording, which meant Baggedmilk put together one of the most random episodes of the Real Life Podcast in quite some time.Seeing as I was in control of the Real Life Podcast since the boys were all away or forgot we record these every week at the same time, I invited everyone that was sitting around at Nation HQ to join me for a quick chat about life. Kicking things off, I started the Monday episode of the podcast with some stories about going to the Elks game last night and how I had a great time despite the team being generally terrible. That prompted me to ask the boys when the last time they went to Commonwealth Stadium was for a football game. That led us to talk about sneaking into events and how some places make it so easy provided that you walk in with conviction. Getting back to hockey, we looked ahead at tonight's NHL Awards that are set to take place at Bridgestone Arena and we took a few

The NHL Draft is quickly approaching, free agency is too, and that meant the boys on the Real Life Podcast had plenty to talk about despite not actually touching on any of it.Kicking off the Thursday episode of Real Life, the guys started with a conversation about how much swearing happens on the podcast and whether the guys should try and curb the habit. With the cursing discussion out of the way, the guys dove into the Titan submersible story that everyone is talking about and how it is a wild story to follow in every single capacity. That led the guys to talk about what activities they would avoid as a means of self-preservation. Changing gears entirely, Chalmers asked the listeners for some parenting advice as he is reaching a point in his parenthood where his oldest son is getting his first cell phone. As you'd expect, the advice the boys came up with ranged from acceptable to entirely awful. Unsurprisingly, the rest of the podcast was littered with a laundry list of topics that ranged from home care to

The draft is a couple of weeks away, the Oilers rumours are flying, and that means there was plenty to talk about on the newest episode of the Real Life Podcast, but whether or not the guys actually get to any of that news is a different question entirely.Kicking off the Monday episode of Real Life, the boys started taking bets on when Chalmers would show up given that he was the first one in the group chat this morning to discuss the show. Baggedmilk set the over/under at 4.5 minutes for how late Chalmers would be, and before the bids were even set, he strolled through the door to lock in the under. Getting back to business, the dads on the show recapped their Father's Day which saw everything from live music to weddings to playing dice despite the numbers on the die not having anything to do with the rules. From there, Chalmers went on a rant about the Stanley Cup parade from Vegas and how he thinks some of the boys were trying too hard. Somehow, arguing about pro athletes partying too hard led to Chalmers

The Stanley Cup has been handed out, the offseason is officially underway, and that meant the boys on the Real Life Podcast had all the time in the world to talk about everything and nothing in particular.Kicking off the Thursday episode of Real Life, the guys got started with a collection of nonsense that included Floyd Mayweather fighting John Gotti III for what seems like ridiculous money. Randomly, the guys then spent a few minutes talking about TSN 1260 getting shut down yesterday and how it was a very sad day for radio in our city. Somehow talking about TSN 1260 closing down turned into a conversation about why Vin Diesel changed his name from Mark Sinclair. From there, the podcast turned into an array of nonsense that ranged from rappers' real names, Liam learning who John Gotti was, and the latest arrest for Boosie Badazz. Changing gears entirely, the guys welcomed UFC fighter, Mike Mallot, to the podcast to talk about his experience at UFC 289 and what it was like to have the Canadians go 6/6 on the

Happy Monday Nation Citizens! The latest Real Life Podcast is here for your listening pleasure. Liam slid in because the group was short-staffed. To start things off today, they talked about his facial hair. He started growing a playoff moustache and has been letting it ride ever since. From there, Tyler managed to get things back to sports and they talked about Nick Taylor's big win at The Canadian Open. Was it one of the biggest moments in Canadian sports? Also, Adam Hadwin got smoked by a security guard and Wanye thought it was the product of AI.They did get to some Oilers talk on today's episode as well. There are a lot of rumours connecting the Oilers to Flyers forward Travis Konecny. Is he worth giving up an Ekholm-like package for? Tyler, Jay and Liam debated that. Could it be time to part with a piece like Philip Broberg? The guys covered that and more today on the podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

With no Oilers hockey in sight, the newest episode of the Real Life podcast had no structure and absolutely no set agenda whatsoever. If you're a fan of nonsense, this episode is for you.Kicking off the Thursday episode of Real Life, the guys got started with a brand new podcast intro from Meat Watcher that had the boys in tears as he touched on all the piss-related things that Tyler loves so dearly. From there, the guys dove into yesterday's massive merger news that saw the PGA and Liv Golf joining as a new entity after the two golf leagues announced a new deal that rocked the sports world. Trying to get the podcast back on the rails, Tyler wanted to talk about the three-way trade that happened in the NHL last week but the other boys were having none of it. In fact, the trade talk actually revealed an issue that is building between Tyler and Chalmers after the latter ended up winning the NHL clip challenge that's been going on for the last couple of weeks. Is the podcast causing a rift? Lastly, the guys wrap

The off-season still has plenty of runway left to go and the boys were looking for things to talk about, which meant another random episode of the Real Life podcast to help you wrap up your week.To kick off the Monday episode of Real Life, the guys got started with another round of complaints from Chalmers after he had to miss the Thursday episode of the podcast because of a mid-week baseball tournament for his kids. Sticking with tournaments, the guys talked about some golf and NBA playoffs, how they did with their bets, and why no one on the show watched even a minute of the Stanley Cup Finals. From there, Baggedmilk told a few stories from his 20-year high school reunion that happened on Saturday and how it was a blast to reconnect with some old friends even though all he and his buddies really wanted to do was make some poor life choices. From there, Chalmers told a few stories from the Like Combs concert from the weekend and specifically how he couldn't get a drink if he didn't have any cash. Lastly, we

With no Oilers hockey in sight, the newest episode of the Real Life podcast had no structure and absolutely no set agenda whatsoever. If you're a fan of nonsense, this episode is for you.Kicking off the Thursday episode of Real Life, the guys got started by introducing our new intern, Aleena, even though she really had no interest in being on the podcast. As you'll hear, the guys asked Aleena one question and barely let her answer before steering the show into the ditch. From unpopular food takes to Tyler's confession that he accidentally eats his own lip, the start of this podcast was an absolute disaster. Trying to get the show back on track, Aleena was finally able to get a couple of answers in about her journey in journalism and what it's been like to be an intern at The Nation Network. Changing gears, Jay finally got some clarity about when he'll be doing some batting practice at RE/MAX to find out once and for all if he can hit a ball out of the park. Lastly, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of

The off-season has only just begun and the boys were looking for things to talk about, which meant another random episode of the Real Life podcast to help you wrap up your week.To kick off the Monday episode of Real Life, the guys got started with a quick recap of the World Championships after Canada picked up a gold medal over Germany in yesterday's tournament finals. When Baggedmilk confessed that he didn't know the tourney was wrapping up until he saw it playing at Muggnz, leading the guys to argue about breakfast for the next 10 minutes. Changing gears, Tyler told a story about going to see his first ever comedy show this past weekend, leading the guys to talk about varying reasons they'd like to get drunk at West Edmonton Mall. Somehow the conversation about WEM led the guys to complain about Slurpees again since their go-to spot didn't have any of their machines working properly. Lastly, the guys wrapped up the podcast with a hockey clip game after Electronic Jordan submitted a 19-second clip of an Oile

The Oilers are still out of the playoffs, the boys aren't interested in the remaining teams, which meant another random episode of the Real Life podcast to help you wrap up your week.To kick off the Thursday episode of Real Life, the guys got started with a look at the NHL playoffs after the Florida Panthers punched their ticket to the Stanley Cup Finals last night with another OT winner over the Hurricanes. One of the wildest parts about the Panthers is that the series win over the Hurricanes has actually turned Matthew Tkachuk into a loveable character. How can this be? Changing gears, the guys looked at the Frank Sinatra A.I. version of Lil Jon's track 'Get Low.' Next up, Tyler reopened his Words With Friends account for the first time in years to try and rekindle his relationship with Leah, his gaming partner for years whom he refused to interact with despite her best attempts. Turning the podcast back to the Oilers, the guys spent the next little bit talking about random Oilers players from the past afte

The boys have recovered from the Oilers sadness that gripped them during Monday's episode of the podcast, which meant there was plenty to talk about as the long weekend approaches.To kick off the Monday episode of Real Life, the guys got started with yet another conversation about Ja Morant after news broke this morning that Nike had pulled his signature shoe off their app and website. After trying to figure out why Morant can't stop allegedly waving a gun around, they wondered if this latest issue will cause him to lose a bunch of the money he was supposed to have coming his way. Somehow, talking about basketball led Chalmers to give an update on his toe that was somehow even more disgusting than the last update. Chalmers did not stop rooting around in his foot, but this time around, he found some gold at the end of his personal rainbow. Changing gears, the guys jumped around varying topics as they did what they could to avoid revisiting the sadness that was the end of the Oilers season. Finally, the guys wr

The Oilers' playoff is officially over after a tough loss last night at Rogers Place, which meant there was plenty to talk about on the Monday episode of the Real Life podcast.To kick off the Monday episode of Real Life, the guys got started with a rant from Wanye after the Oilers got knocked out of the playoffs last night in Game 6. While Oilers fans everywhere are upset about the way the playoff run ended, Wanye tried to spread some positivity about the way things ended. For the other guys, however, it was pretty tough to find any silver linings after the Oilers took a real step back after making the Western Conference Finals a year ago. Then again, getting hurt is a huge part of being a sports fan, ya know? With the Oilers sadness expressed, the guys then discussed whether or not they'll be watching the rest of the playoffs or if Edmonton being out of the mix means it's time to do literally anything else. Getting away from the Oilers, Chalmers then told a horrible story about his toe that was one of the mo

The Edmonton Oilers picked up a huge win last night in Game 4, and that meant the boys on the Real Life Podcast had plenty to talk about on the Thursday episode of Real Life.To kick off the podcast, the guys got started with a look at last night's game against the Vegas Golden Knights and how it was one of the most fun games we've seen in quite some time. Not only did the Oilers come to play, but the game ended up getting spicy by the time all was said and done. For some reason, that led Chalmers to complain about the way Oilers fans sing the Canadian National Anthem. Why does he get annoyed about this? It's a fair question. Wanye also wanted to talk about Steve Urkel appearing at the game for some strange reason, and how his being at Rogers Place has many Oilers fans wondering what he was doing there in the first place. Getting back to the game, the boys discussed Darnell Nurse getting suspended for a game after being tagged with an instigator for his fight with Nick Hague in the final moments

The Edmonton Oilers made their way back home for the first time since Game 5 against the L.A. Kings, and I was very curious about how the boys would perform after being away for so long. To kick off the Monday episode of Real Life, the guys got started with a recap of their trip to Vegas for the two boys that weren't able to be on the trip. Thankfully for those that heard the two on-location podcasts, the guys kept the recap quick as to not repeat the same stories over and over again. From there, Chalmers dove into a wild story about his kids after they accidentally bear maced themselves in one of the most chaotic scenes you'll ever hear. He also told the story of his missing iPad that is still up in High Level and how getting it back is proving to be incredibly difficult despite knowing exactly where it is. Changing gears entirely, the guys pivoted to talking about schoolyard games from back in the day and how the kids don't know what they're missing. Finally getting to the Oilers, the guys lo
