Nation Real Life

Another Thursday has landed on the calendar, which means the boys from the Real Life Podcast are back with a whole lot to talk about to wrap up the week. On today’s show, the guys looked at the term G.O.A.T, fighting at sporting events, and more.Kicking off the second episode of Real Life of the day, the podcast got started with Wanye's hatred of the term GOAT and how it's so wildly overused these days. Back in the day, we used to name Goats and Stars at Oilersnation and the Goat was the term we used as our whipping boy. Just as that conversation was wrapping up, Chalmers wandered into the studio and kicked off a whole conversation about the fight that broke out at the Stars game and how there has never been someone that's deserved to get punched more than that guy. From there, the podcast devolved into all kinds of random nonsense about everything from Jaleel White on Family Matters to cricket to Chalmers' favourite week of the year. Lastly, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of Real Life with a chat a

Tyler is back from the all-star game, the Oilers play tomorrow, and the NHL is gearing back up for its second half, which meant there was a whole lot 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 recap of Tyler's long day of travel on his way back from Florida for the NHL All-Star Game. After what Tyler describes as an incredibly boring All-Star weekend, his long wait in the lounge at Pearson Airport gave him a free lesson in what it takes to be a true airport drinker. From there, Tyler told a few more stories from the ASG and how the event was incredibly boring despite how much time, money, and effort was put into organizing the weekend. Getting back to the Oilers, the wait is nearly over for the boys to get back on the ice for what is a very important stretch of games. With four winnable games coming up on the schedule this week, the Oilers have a big opportunity in front of them to keep climbing up the Pacific Division

Another Thursday has landed on the calendar, which means the boys from the Real Life Podcast are back with a whole lot to talk about to wrap up the week. On today’s show, the guys recapped the Evander Kane interview, the Jasper pond hockey tournament, and more.Kicking off the second episode of Real Life of the day, the podcast got started with a whole bunch of nonsense as there are no Oilers games to talk about, which left the door open for shenanigans. With Tyler in Florida for the All-Star Game, Liam stepped in to man the ship but whether or not he had any control is up for debate. With that in mind, the first 10 minutes of the show were spent talking about Liam's love of cheesecake. They also spent time talking about a bunch of random sports stories after reports surfaced that Lionel Messi was reportedly offered hundreds of millions of dollars to play in Saudi Arabia just like Ronaldo. From there, the podcast really started to get weird as the guys were all over the map. From flight hacks to Wanye's advent

The boys are back from Jasper and the Oilers came up with a big win against Chicago, which meant there was a whole lot 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 recap of their weekend in Jasper as the Pond Hockey Tournament is an event that should absolutely be on your hockey bucket list. From the moment the squad arrived until the time they checked out, the folks at the Jasper Park Lodge were incredible and made the weekend so incredibly special. Getting back to the Oilers, the guys spent the next few minutes talking about Matt Berlin's incredible story from Saturday night and how the U of A goaltender was able to live out his childhood dream. While some people thought the move was disrespectful, the guys on this podcast couldn't understand why anyone would be upset about that moment. Lastly, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a passionate conversation about restaurants that have

We are out in Jasper for the annual pond hockey tournament out at the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge! The guys decided to record the first half of the podcast before their much-anticipated game against Flamesnation so you can listen to how confident they were heading into the game and then you can hear them break down the game. There was a big comeback, someone got a puck to the face, and things got heated. It was a great chapter in Battle of Alberta history. They also talked about their setup down at the JPL, which led to an absolutely wild staff party. The stories were great and Frank Seravalli and Adam Seaborn both made appearances on the pod to talk about their first-ever time in Jasper. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Remember all of those times when you wished Chris Chalmers would be on the pod more? Well how about this: he was the only one who joined Tyler today on the pod. They also called Liam in from the bullpen and had a nice three-man conversation on a whole bunch of topics. They started things off by talking about Chalmer's run through Edmonton Minor Hockey Week and Tyler had some memories of the iconic tournament as well. From there, they talked about everything that went down this weekend in the NHL like the Oilers beating the Canucks and Bruce Boudreau being let go as the Head Coach in Vancouver. How did the Canucks let this get as ugly as it did? They discussed.After that, Tyler welcomed Mike Stelter to the show to talk about the launch of The Ben Stelter Fund and also, the upcoming Ben Stelter Memorial Tournament. Alec Card, one of the event's organizers was also there to tell people what they can expect from the tournament, which is coming up on February 16th. The Stelter family is doing some great work in th

So the only two people who showed up for today's podcast were Tyler and Wanye, so that's what the whole show consisted of. They talked a little bit about the Oilers, but mainly about other things as they worked their way through the show. To start, Wanye shared the story of how he became a roadie for a Mexican rock band that is now coming to Edmonton! They could make an appearance on the show, so he shared the back story. They also talked about the Oiler's in-game presentation, the team's current five-game heater, and a few things surrounding the club like Oilers+. Before things got off the rails again, Tyler brought in the On The Bench boys, Jacob and Ollie, to talk about the upcoming Jasper Park Lodge pond hockey tournament, which we're partnering up with Tourism Jasper on. The guys went last year and even though they talked an extreme amount of smack about Tyler earlier, they pretended none of that happened and talked about their plans for the weekend. To wrap things up, Tyler listed who would be included

A fresh week is underway and the boys are back from Vegas, which meant there was a lot to talk about on the Monday episode of Real Life. On today’s show, the guys spent some time recapping the #NationVacation, a big finish to the Oilers' road trip, and a whole lot more.To kick off today's podcast, the guys got started with a recap of the #NationVacation that happened this past week in Las Vegas. Not only did the guys have a crew with them of about 50 people, but they also met up with literally hundreds of other Oilers fans that were already down there on their own. With a crew that size and that many orange jerseys scattered all over the strip, there's little doubt that Oilers fans travel as well as any other fanbase in the league. The guys dove into everything from the watch party on Friday night, to the team winning back-to-back starts, to dance parties, to winning a bunch of money at the Craps tables, this was easily one of the best times the gang has ever had down there. Sticking with the Oilers, the guys

After checking into the hotel, cracking a fresh beverage, and thanking our friends at AMA Travel, the boys crowded into a room to talk about the day and predict what was to come for the Nation's third trip to Las Vegas.Sold out in a matter of weeks long before the season even started, it was a long wait before finally boarding the plane to Las Vegas. Seeing as there was a sizeable crew from Nation HQ in attendance and a mission to cover this year's trip like never before, the gang mused about how great it felt to be back after going more than three years since the last time we were here. While there had been a #NationVacation to Nashville last season, neither Baggedmilk nor Jay was on that trip, which makes this third run down to Vegas all that much more special. Over and above the good vibes that invariably come with a trip like this, the guys also discussed last night's win and how it was the kind of performance the Oilers needed to have against a bottom-feeding team like the Ducks. The tricky par

A fresh week is underway and that means the boys from the Real Life Podcast are back with a brand new episode to help you ease back into work life. On today’s show, the guys spent a little bit more time on the Evander Kane interview, what's going on with the Oilers, the S Club 7 reunion, and a whole lot more.To kick off today's podcast, the guys got started with filling Wanye in on all the details from the Evander Kane interview after he had to miss out on the chat as a result of some other commitments. From asking questions about how jacked Kane is to wondering about his Uggs, there was plenty more to talk about from the Kane interview as he revealed a bunch of interesting info about his first year in the city. Changing gears, the guys turned to the Edmonton Oilers and how it's a real struggle to cheer for this team right now as the boys continue to find new and creative ways to shoot themselves in the foot. After blowing another two-goal lead against the Colorado Avalanche, the guys wondered what

On today’s show, the guys recapped the Evander Kane interview, the Jasper pond hockey tournament, and more.Kicking off the second episode of Real Life of the day, the guys walked through the Evander Kane interview that just happened at Nation HQ, and how it was a very fun experience given that he has such a high profile in this city. From start to finish, the guys thought Kane was incredibly personable and open with his answers even though the boys went off script more than a few times. From there, the podcast completely fell off the rails as Chalmers and Baggedmilk vented about dog parks and why you shouldn't bring your dog to them. From there, the guys looked ahead at the Jasper Pond Hockey tournament that's happening at the Jasper Park Lodge at the end of January, and why this is a tourney you should absolutely be a part of if you're able. Lastly, the guy

It was a very special day for the boys on the Real Life Podcast as Edmonton Oilers forward, Evander Kane, joined the show to talk about his recovery, his new clothing line, and how his first year has gone with the franchise.To get the interview started, we got right to it with a look at how he's feeling in his recovery after a very scary injury suffered against the Tampa Bay Lightning earlier in the year. Thankfully, in his own words, Kane's recovery is coming along nicely and Oilers fans should be expecting him back in the lineup in the reasonably near future. From there, we looked at the work Kane is doing in the community and how it's an important part of being an NHLer for him given his position. We also looked at Kane's new clothing line, Defy, and what led him to kick off his start in fashion and how involved he is in the entire process from concept to completion. Changing gears, the boys also asked Evander about his time with the Oilers, and specifically what led him to sign with the team and eventuall

Whether it was drinking for most of the day or doing absolutely nothing at all, the boys talked about what they got up to during the break and how it's both exciting and difficult to get yourself going after a lengthy break. From there, the guys looked at the Heritage Classic that's coming up in October now that it's been announced that the Calgary Flames would be the opponent. Now that we know an outdoor version of the Battle of Alberta coming, will the team do something interesting for their outdoor jersey or will they go with something we know

From there, the guys spent a few minutes recapping the Nation Christmas party that happened last night at SOHO, and how it was great to get everyone together. Getting back to the Oilers, the guys talked about last night's win against Dallas and how it was one of the best games the team has played in a while. Getting back to the Christmas party, the guys talked about the after-party that happened and how none of the folks in attendance ar

Changing gears, the guys spoke about the World Cup Final that happened on Saturday morning and how it was one of the greatest games any of them had seen. Seeing as none of the guys are soccer fans, it's probably ridiculous to hear them talk about the climax of the biggest sporting event on earth. Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast with a look at the Edmonton Oilers, start

Another Thursday has landed on the calendar, which means the boys from the Real Life Podcast are back with a whole lot to talk about to wrap up the week.

Somehow, the Oilers beating the snot out of the Predators led the guys to talk about the window to win is open and how Ken Holland needs to support his stars with a strong supporting cast. From there, the podcast fell off the rails a little bit as the guys started talking about a new TLN show called MILF Manor that's set to air in mid-January. Needless to say, this is the exact kind of content that Baggedmilk loves to wat

Instead of coming into the recording studio today, Chalmers stopped in at his folks' place to do the show and maybe see if they have any food for him to steal. Changing gears, the guys spent some time on the World Cup as everyone wanted to know how Liam felt after England fell to France on a missed penalty kill by Harry Kane. As you'll hear, Liam wore his heart on his sleeve, but what he will not stand for are people that are chirping him despite not having a dog in the fight. From there, Chalmers told a few stories from the FIS Big Air World Cup that took place on Saturday, and specifically how he was amazed at the

With that out of the way, the guys turned back to last night's Oilers game and how the 8-2 blowout against the Arizona Coyotes was really the only acceptable result. Even though it was fun to see the Oilers put up a touchdown and a rouge, it was one of those nights where anything less than that would be unacceptable. Changing gears, the guys spent some time talking about the TikTok algorithm and how Baggedmilk loves to try and ruin Tyler's experience by sending him the strangest possible videos.

Lastly, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a Tyler confessing that he had to cancel h

It's a frosty Thursday in Edmonton, the Oilers have won three straight games, and the World Cup, which means the boys from the Real Life Podcast are back with a whole lot to talk about.

That led the guys to discuss which hats would look the best on them, including a walk through on all of the historical hats Chalmers has worn. From there, the guys started arguing about the World Cup again after Canada wrapped up their trip to the tournament with three-straight losses. Despite everyone saying once again that even being at the World Cup is a small win for Canadian soccer, Chalmers tripled down on his disappointment that the men's team didn't win a game. Turning to the Oilers, the guys looked at last night's win and how it was one of the weirder wins you will
