Nation Real Life

Thursday is here and that means the boys from the Real Life Podcast are back with a brand new podcast to help you get through the rest of your week. On today’s show, the guys looked at Tyler's slight on Baggedmilk, the Oilers' matchup vs Los Angeles, and a whole lot more.   Kicking off the Thursday episode of the podcast, the guys got started with a chat about the beef Baggedmilk and Tyler are having after the latter said that he would not go golfing at a very specific course. Baggedmilk thinks it's rude, Tyler said it's not at all. Who is right? Neither, probably. Shifting gears to the Oilers, the guys talked a little bit about tonight's matchup against the Kings and how they need to play much better than they did against the Sharks if they're going to lock in two points. Sticking with the Oilers, the guys looked at Warren Foegele's future with the team and whether the team may have any interest in moving on this quickly. From an analytics perspective, there's a lot to like about Foegele but when it comes to

A new week is here and that means the gang from the Real Life Podcast is back with a brand new episode to help you get through what’s left of your Monday. On today’s podcast, the guys looked at Leon Draisaitl hitting 50 goals again, the playoff race, and a whole lot more. To kick things off, the guys got the podcast started with a look at the world of sports and how it is a busy, busy time for sports lovers and how that's a perfect time for our partners at PointsBet Canada for an official launch. If you're in Ontario, now is the time to sign up and get that free bonus. Getting back to hockey, the guys spent a few minutes talking about the melee that happened over the weekend after Trevor Zegras embarrassed the Coyotes with a Michigan goal when they were already up by a lot. Does it make sense to have a line brawl after a goal like that? Was it all about the situation? Was it Tyson Nash's fault for what he said on the broadcast? From there, we looked at Keith Yandle's ironman streak ending in Philly and whethe

Thursday is here and that means the boys from the Real Life Podcast are back with a brand new podcast to help you get through the rest of your week. On today’s show, the guys looked at Chalmers' family vacay, Jay's sleeping arrangements in Calgary, and a whole lot more. Kicking off this week’s podcast, the guys got started with a chat about Chalmers' most recent vacation, and how he avoided the grind with his family for the first time in quite some time. As you'll hear, no detail was spared from this vacay as Chalmers gave a very thorough explanation of what he and his family were up to. Next up, Jay and Chalmers walked through their Peloton competitions that kicked off at the beginning of the pandemic and how both guys have fallen off a little bit since then. Getting back to hockey, the guys looked at the Oilers' last few games and how the team needed to find a way to bounce back after getting shelled in Calgary and looking so sloppy while they were at it. Thankfully, the guys were able to respond with a pai

A new week is here and that means the gang from the Real Life Podcast is back with a brand new episode to help you get through what's left of your Monday. On today’s podcast, the guys looked at the Nation roadie to Calgary, what the Oilers need to do to get back in the win column, and a whole lot more. To kick things off, the guys got the podcast started with a recap of the Nation Vacation down to Calgary this past weekend, and how it felt amazing to get everybody together again after more than two years since our last roadie. As much as it was a great time to get a bus full of people down to Calgary again, the fact that the hockey game turned out the way it did was the only downside. With the road trip recap out of the way, Tyler walked the guys through what's going on in the standings right now and how the Oilers have a whole lot of work on their plate if they want to get in. With only 16 games left in the regular season, the Oilers need to start stringing some wins together and that starts with the Arizona

Another Thursday has landed on your calendar and that means the boys from the Real Life Podcast are back with a brand new podcast to help you get through the rest of your week. On today’s show, the guys looked at Jay's fallen email account, the DFO deadline show, the Oilers, and a whole lot more. Kicking off this week’s podcast, the guys got started with a story from Jay about his email and how he had a wild week after his Hotmail account was accidentally killed this past week. Since the beginning of his email career, Jay has been incredibly loyal to his Hotmail account but because of this wild error, he is now lost in an email-less universe that is new and scary to him. Changing gears, the guys talked about Jeff Bezos trying to negotiate a TV deal with the NFL and how the National Football League seems to be worried about such a partnership. From there, the guys looked back on Trade Deadline day and how the Daily Faceoff Deadline show was a lot of fun to watch the inaugural broadcast. Seeing as it was the fi

A new week is here and that means the gang from the Real Life Podcast is back with a brand new episode to help you get through the rest of your Monday. On today’s podcast, the guys looked at Saturday's huge win for the Oilers, daylight savings time, the NHL trade deadline, and a whole lot more. To kick things off, the guys got the podcast started with a look at daylight savings time and how it's affecting everyone differently. For Baggedmilk and Jay, moving the clocks ahead an hour was disruptive for the rest of their weekend. Changing gears, the guys got back to sports as Tyler walked the guys through some of his big betting wins from this past weekend. Tyler's win led the guys to talk about Tom Brady coming back for another NFL season only 40 days after leading many to believe that he was calling it quits. Looking at the Oilers, the guys broke down a very impressive win over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday night and how that was a statement game from a team that is desperate for points. Seeing as the Oi

Another Thursday has landed on your calendar and that means the boys from the Real Life Podcast are back with a brand new episode to help you get through the rest of your week. On today’s podcast, the guys looked at last night's Oilers win, Tyler's growing fame, sports betting, and a whole lot more. Kicking off this week’s podcast, the guys got started with a conversation about last night's Oilers game and how Tyler got recognized by a kid at Rogers Place, which was enough to light up his life. Somehow, that conversation spawned Wanye story about his grandpa pulling out his own teeth ahead of WW2. Back to the game, the guys talked about how that was a statement game for the Oilers as the team had to show plenty of resilience in order to secure two points. Splintering off from the game recap, the guys wondered whether there would be an appetite from the Oilers to bring back Mikko Koskinen as their backup next season provided that he would take a haircut on his contract and also that they could find a legitimat

A new week is here and that means the gang from the Real Life Podcast is back with a brand new episode to help you get through the rest of your Monday. On today’s podcast, the guys looked at the Oilers' struggles between the pipes, why the special teams are awful, and welcomed Ben Hebert to the show to talk some curling. To kick things off, the guys got the podcast started with a look at the Edmonton Oilers and how this team has been so incredibly frustrating to watch over the last few weeks. Seeing as the team is on the outside of the playoff picture, the problems are seemingly endless but the guys chose to dial in on what's going on between the pipes. Since everyone is on board to make changes, the guys worked through a couple of ideas for how Ken Holland could upgrade the roster without having to sell the farm. As you'll hear, the guys are coming unhinged with what's going on here in Oil Country and that makes for a very stressful stretch run for everyone that loves them. From there, the guys were thrilled

Another Thursday has landed on your calendar and that means the boys from the Real Life Podcast are back with a brand new episode to help you get through the rest of your week. On today’s podcast, the guys looked at Brendan Perlini finding out about being put on waivers through Twitter, Brendan Perlini on the waiver wire, and a whole lot more. Kicking off this week’s podcast, the guys got started with a conversation about Wanye being dunked on by the Carolina Hurricanes on Twitter this past weekend, and how the boys respected the way that team handles their social media business. That led to a conversation about Brendan Perlini after his mom alleged that he found out he was put on waivers through social media instead of from the team directly. Sticking with social media, the guys bounced to the viral clip from Wheel of Fortune that was circling Twitter this past week after a contestant didn't know the phrase "Another Feather in Your Cap." Changing gears, Tyler offered up what could be the easiest contest of

A new week is here and that means the gang from the Real Life Podcast is back with a brand new episode to help you get through the rest of your Monday. On today’s podcast, the guys looked at Smytty Day, which former Oiler should honoured next, the current road trip, and a whole lot more. To kick things off, the guys got the podcast started with a look at Smytty Day that kicked off on the website yesterday and how it was fun to watch Nation Citizens chime in with their favourite Ryan Smyth moments and stories about what he meant to them. For so many of us, Ryan Smyth was the Edmonton Oilers and it was a lot of fun to rehash those old stories and dig into all of the moments that made him special. From there, the guys looked at which former Oiler should be the next man up when it comes to a deep dive into their career. Changing gears, Tyler told a story about a weird Airbnb experience he had down in Arizona a couple of weeks back, and how it seemed like he was staying in some kind of murder house. With the one-s

Another Thursday has landed on your calendar and that means the boys from the Real Life Podcast are back with a brand new episode to help you get through the rest of your week. On today’s podcast, the guys looked at what's going on with the Oilers, Kanye West, and a whole lot more. Kicking off this week’s podcast, the guys got started with a conversation about Tyler nearing vomiting before the podcast started after confessing that he packed away a bunch of penne alfredo before the show. After busting his balls for a little bit, the podcast turned to TV as both Wanye and Jay offered their takes on Inventing Anna as they're diving into one of the latest Netflix trends. The guys also looked at the Kanye West docu-series, Jeen-Yuhs, and how it's incredible to see the process that led up to him becoming one of the biggest rappers of all time. Getting to the Oilers, the guys looked at last night's loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning and how it was incredibly frustrating to watch the team play so well but not get the sa

Thursday has landed on your calendar and that means the boys from the Real Life Podcast are back with a brand new episode to help you get through the rest of your week. On today’s podcast, the guys looked at the new Kanye documentary, the Oilers rolling, Super Bowl halftime shows, and a whole lot more.   Kicking off this week’s podcast, it got started with Baggedmilk flexing about how his podcast has grown beyond anything he expected it would. After the bragging wrapped up, the conversation turned back to Yaremchuk’s trip to Vegas since Wanye hadn’t heard any of the stories yet. Changing gears, the podcast turned, to the new Kanye West documentary that hit Netflix and how it was exactly what Wanye was looking for in his constant pursuit of hip hop content. Sticking with rap, Wanye and Chalmers gave their takes on the Super Bowl halftime show and how it was an amazing dose of nostalgia. That led to the guys taking swings at who will perform at next year’s game. Would the NFL want to go back to hip hop based o

To kick things off, the guys got the podcast started with a look at Tyler’s vacation and how he had quite the adventure in his 10 days away from the office. From going to the wrong hotel in Vegas to making friends at the tables to playing top golf by himself, Yaremchuk had the best time down in the states even though he had to mix some actual work in from time to time that included speaking to Connor McDavid and Gary Bettman. Speaking of vacations, Jay offered more details about the Nation Vacation to Nashville and how it’s going to be another weekend to remember for everyone that makes their way down. From there, the guys got to some Oilers talk as the team had a very busy end to their week as Ken Holland finally made the call to fire Dave Tippett and replace him with Jay Woodcroft. Lastly, the guys looked at the Oilers as the trade deadline approaches and offered up some ideas on what the team needs to get done. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

A very busy Thursday has landed on your calendars and that means the gang from the Real Life Podcast is back with a brand new episode to help you get through the rest of your week. Today, the guys were talking about the Oilers coaching change, NationGear behind the scenes, the Olympics, and a whole lot more. To kick off this episode of Real Life, the guys got started with the major news of the day as the Oilers announced this morning that they had fired Dave Tippett after the team lost a second consecutive game in a devastating fashion. Despite the news being surprising to so many of us, there's no doubt that many Oilers fans were very excited about the change and the possibilities that come with a fresh voice behind the bench. Before the change was made, however, the decision to play Mike Smith in back-to-back situations was one that ultimately proved costly after the veteran netminder was unable to lock things down in his eighth start of the year. Was that decision the one that ultimately cost the coach his

A slightly depleted, yet still passionate gang got together to smash record on Real Life Episode 353. Tyler is avoiding the grind, BaggedMilk is tied up being a busy bee, and Chalmers was, well... somewhere. So Wanye and Jay were joined by Woz in the producer chair while Nation Network News Director Zach Laing filled a seat.  Much like always, the show got derailed from the get-go with Zach, Jay and Wanye talking about a condo before it spiraled into a deep conversation about the Super Bowl and Harambe. RIP Harambe.  They also talked about Trevor Zegras and the all-star game, before tying the episode up with some Oilers talk. Will they make a trade? Should Edmonton move Tyson Barrie? Can Mike Smith and Mikko Koskinen hold the fort the rest of the way?   See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

On today’s podcast, the guys looked at Wanye junior's big day, a planking contest, the Oilers' winning streak, and a whole lot more. Kicking off this week's podcast, the guys got started with a story from Wanye about dropping off Lil' Wanye at baby university for the first time, and how it was a very emotional day as this was the first day he's ever been without his boy. Sticking with the Real Life kids, the conversation turned to the story of Chalmers' son entering a planking contest at the Jasper Pond Hockey tournament this past weekend and how he ended up as one of the stars of the weekend. Wrapping up what was undoubtedly an incredible tournament, the guys told a few more stories from the tourney and expressed their excitement about the opportunities that are yet to come. Turning the podcast to the Edmonton Oilers, the guys broke down the upcoming schedule

Thursday has landed on your calendars and that means the gang from the Real Life Podcast is back with a brand new episode to help you get through the rest of your week. Today, the guys looked at Evander Kane becoming an Oiler, avoiding the grind, and a whole lot more. Kicking off the Thursday episode of Real Life, the guys got started with a look behind the scenes as the podcast started with technical glitches and a chat about scheduling as Tyler revealed that he will be taking some vacay again soon. From there, the guys dove into the Evander Kane rumours as it seems like the troubled forward will be on the team sooner than later. Is bringing Kane in a good move? Is it too much of a distraction? Will a move like this affect your fandom? From there, the conversation transitioned to the Jasper Pond Hockey tourney that's coming up on the weekend and what everyone's approach will be when it comes to drinking, partying, and dressing up for the festivities. Lastly, the guys wrapped up the podcast with another editi
