    Super Bowl recap, Kendrick Lamar, and the 4 Nations Face-Off

    It's Monday afternoon, which means a new episode of the Real Life podcast is here to help us make sense of the world around us. The guys started the Monday episode of Real Life by discussing the Super Bowl, which was one of the more boring finals we've seen in the NFL in some time. Seeing as the game was basically over after the second quarter, the guys talked about how easily they were distracted down the stretch. Their discussion of the Super Bowl led them to discuss their betting sheets and how the Kendrick Lamar halftime show could be the end of Drake.  Changing gears, Wanye wanted to talk about the rumours surrounding the Dallas Mavericks and how the Luka Doncic trade could be part of a higher conspiracy. If you follow the rabbit hole down far enough, you'll see theories about the state of Texas wanting a casino to be built and how that could tie to the Mavericks being bad. Sticking with basketball, the guys also talked about Jimmy Butler getting traded to Golden State and signing a new deal for $121 million.  Getting back to the Oilers, the guys looked ahead to the trade deadline and offered their thoughts on what the Oilers should be fishing for. Whether it's a defensive upgrade like a Noah Dobson or a scoring winger that pushes everyone down in the lineup, there is little doubt in any of the guys' minds that the Oilers need to do something more than nibbling around the edges. Either way, the pressure is on Stan Bowman to make something happen to ensure the team can take another step forward.  Finally, the guys talked about their trip to Montreal that's coming up this week, and how they're excited to head east even though they'll only be at the 4 Nations for 39 hours. Seeing as Baggedmilk has never been to Montreal, heading to the historic city for such a short amount of time is probably not ideal, but it will certainly be a great time anyway.  💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/  https://twitter.com/NationRealLife https://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/  https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/ https://www.instagram.com/nationreallife/ https://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation  SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

    Wanye is back, Chalmers talks sports, and a Super Bowl betting challenge

    There's nothing better than a Thursday episode of the Real Life podcast to get you through what's left of your week with a little dose of shenanigans and Oilers-adjacent tomfoolery.  The fellas kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life by welcoming Wanye back to the show for the first time in what feels like forever. With Gregor on vacation in Hawaii for 10 days, Wanye got tapped to fill in at 1440 while Jason was on vacation, and he had plenty of stories from his time on the radio. If you know Wanye's knowledge of sports outside of the Oilers, you'll realize how hilarious it is to have him host a four-hour sports radio show.  Hijacking the show, Chalmers was tired of talking about sports radio and shifted the conversation to a preview of a great sports weekend. As we learned, Chalmers has a personal connection to this weekend's Waste Management Open, which has him extremely excited to watch the amateurs competing in the tourney. Somehow, that led to a conversation about spending money from your first job after Tyler asked how much it would have cost for the guys to quit school and get right to work. From there, the boys looked ahead to Sunday's Super Bowl and got into the weeds with their prop betting sheet. With each contributing $20 to the pool, the strategies for approaching these props were all over the map. Needless to say, some of these props are ridiculous and betting real money on any of them seems foolish, but that doesn't mean the fellas didn't have a good time doing it anyway. Either way, the trend of increased betting talk on the Real Life podcast continues to rise. 💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/  https://twitter.com/NationRealLife https://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/  https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/ https://www.instagram.com/nationreallife/ https://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation  SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

    4 Nations Face-Off, the Luka Doncic trade, and the Oilers' goaltending

    It's the last week of NHL games ahead of the 4 Nations Face-Off, so there was plenty to discuss on the Monday episode of the Real Life Podcast. The guys kicked off the Monday episode of Real Life by looking ahead at the Four Nations Face-Off and discussing whether they are getting more excited as the tournament approaches. Given that it's the only hockey we'll be able to watch for two weeks, the guys wondered how excited people will be even with some of the best players on the ice together for the first time. Tyler also brought up the Oilers' schedule and how they'll be on the road for nearly two weeks after the 4 Nations break is over.  Changing gears, the guys talked about playing golf video games and how Chalmers has joined Baggedmilk and Tyler in playing PGA Tour: Road to the Masters. Given that all three of the boys have that game, they're already setting the table for a Real Life virtual goal tournament when the boys can finally sync their schedules up and get to work. Feeling jealous that the boys are all playing golf, Jay invited himself over to Chalmers' house so that they could fill out the foursome.  Turning the podcast toward the NBA, the guys discussed the Luka Doncic trade that sent the Mavs superstar to the L.A. Lakers over the weekend and tried to figure out what a comparable deal would look like in the NHL. Chalmers and Tyler discussed how a massive deal like this can go down with only one trade partner in the mix. Could you imagine a scenario where a team would trade an Auston Matthews-calibre prospect without anyone else in the league knowing he's available? 💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/  https://twitter.com/NationRealLife https://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/  https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/ https://www.instagram.com/nationreallife/ https://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation  SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

    More Jasper talk, Thursday weigh-ins, and should the Oilers sign Brandon Saad?

    Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of the Real Life podcast is set, recorded, and ready to massage your eardrums. On this week's show, the guys discussed Chalmers' extra days in Jasper, getting the weight loss challenge back on track, and whether the team should sign Brendan Saad. The fellas kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a discussion about Chalmers' extra days in Jasper after his family decided to stay back to do a little skiing. Seeing as Chalmers played hockey all weekend before his ski adventure, the ol' body wasn't feeling nearly as fresh as he needed it to be. That ski trip also gave Chalmers another dose of reality that his sons will soon start lapping their old man in the world of sports. Changing gears, the guys checked in on the weight loss challenge with their official weigh-ins for the week. Given that the boys just had a monster weekend at the JPL that was ripe with cocktails and snacks, it's almost a miracle that they could stay relatively flat with their totals. Now that the tournament is over, Chalmers and Baggedmilk both talked about the need to lock in and get back on track to win Jay's money. Turning the podcast back to the Oilers, the boys discussed the idea of signing Brendan Saad after the St. Louis Blues just bought him out. Saad chose to get bought our and forgo the remaining money on his deal because he didn't want St. Louis to send him down to the minors, which creates an interesting opportunity for the Oilers provided they think it's a fit. Would you sign Saad knowing that he would add even more depth to the roster, or is he too close to one of our other players that makes it unlikely? 💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/  https://twitter.com/NationRealLife https://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/  https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/ https://www.instagram.com/nationreallife/ https://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation  SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

    The Jasper Pond Hockey recap, Tyler's Bills sadness, and Connor McDavid returns

    The boys just got back from the Jasper Pond Hockey tournament, which meant there was plenty to discuss on the Monday episode of the Real Life Podcast. On today's podcast, the guys recapped the Jasper tourney, Tyler's Bills sadness, Connor McDavid's return to the lineup, and much more. The podcast started with a recap of the Jasper Pond Hockey tournament from this past weekend at the Jasper Park Lodge and how it was yet another spectacular few days in the mountains. The boys couldn't help but gush about how great it was to return to the JPL, spend time with co-workers, and the games that entertained the group over those few days. If you're ever on the fence about attending the tournament, let this weekend recap be your cue to sign up a squad for next year. Changing gears, Tyler expressed his feelings about the Buffalo Bills' losing to the Kansas City Chiefs for the second consecutive year in the playoffs. From how Buffalo started poorly to how some questionable calls later in the game factored into the loss, Tyler broke down his feelings on the loss and how it's frustrating to fall to Kansas City again. Needless to say, sports are awful most of the time, and last night's loss was yet another dose of that reality for Tyler. Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast with some hockey talk, as the boys are still reeling from the monster Mikko Rantanen trade that happened on Friday night. Amazingly enough, Jeff Marek ended up getting Erik Tulsky — Carolina's General Manager — on The Sheet to talk about the deal and how it all came together. Finally, they wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a quick chat about Connor McDavid's return to the lineup, and how the boys feel like the captain is going to have a big night. 💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/  https://twitter.com/NationRealLife https://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/  https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/ https://www.instagram.com/nationreallife/ https://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation  SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

    NFL playoffs, Baggedmilk's hot dog update, and a weight loss challenge review

    Monday afternoon means a new episode of the Real Life Podcast is ready to kick off your week and help you make sense of this crazy little thing called life. On this week's podcast, the guys discussed the Jasper Pond Hockey tournament, Baggedmilk's hot dog charity drive, and got an update for the Real Life weight loss challenge. The guys started the Monday episode of Real Life with an update on the podcast weight loss challenge. As you'll hear, Jay and Baggedmilk are down some weight, while a big weekend's worth of food and drinks has Chalmers up 200 grams. The best part about Chalmers gaining a little bit is that he spent the Thursday podcast episode bragging about being down six pounds. Tagging onto the weight loss challenge, the guys got an update about Baggedmilk's hot dog charity drive now that he's got a week's worth of dogs under his belt. Even though no on expected this bit to go on this long, it's amazing to see how the community has rallied around the challenge to raise over $5000 for SCARS animal rescue. Changing gears, the fellas looked ahead at the Jasper Pond Hockey tournament and Chalmers' plan to get everyone to stay an extra day so they could ski at Marmot Basin. Chalmers is very excited about the tournament, and if he can find a way to get everyone to stay an extra day, he could put himself even further behind in the weight loss challenge. Finally, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics. They discussed everything that went down around the NFL this past weekend, recapped some winners and losers, and updated everyone on what's happening with the Real Life weight loss challenge. Needless to say, the Monday episode of Real Life was all over the map once again. 💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/  https://twitter.com/NationRealLife https://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/  https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/ https://www.instagram.com/nationreallife/ https://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation  SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

    Falling for our April Fool's jokes, Connor McDavid's elbow, and some fan fiction

    On a scale from one to infinity, how excited were you to see that a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast was recorded, wrapped, and ready to carry you into the weekend? You're very excited, and everybody knows it. The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life by discussing how Sportsnet was duped by an Oilersnation April Fools article from years ago in a recent post about McDavid escaping additional discipline for an elbow against the Wild. As you'll hear, the boys had a healthy chuckle about Sportsnet's mishap and how the article still isn't fixed even 14 hours later. That led to the guys discussing whether or not McDavid deserved some kind of fine after that elbow. Sticking with Connor McDavid, the guys spent some time making up fan fiction about No. 97's home life and tried to imagine what silly arguments he has with his wife. Do they argue about walking the dog? Dishes? Do they have people to handle those day-to-day items? Obviously, we'll never know the answers to those questions unless the couple invites people into their home for a reality show or something, but that didn't stop the boys from having fun imagining scenarios anyway. Changing gears, the guys looked ahead at the Jasper Pond Hockey tournament and how the boys are incredibly excited to get back to the Jasper Park Lodge for the third annual tourney. Not only is it a good time in a beautiful location, but it's also geared at raising money for a great cause. Given that Baggedmilk, Chalmers, and Tyler have been to the tournament for three straight years, they walked through some of the logistics from the weekend and how they plan to party at this year's event.  https://twitter.com/NationRealLife https://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/  https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/ https://www.instagram.com/nationreallife/ https://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation  SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.
