    Be careful with the ice out there, Evander Kane rumours, and Oilers at the trade deadline

    Monday afternoon means a fresh episode of the Real Life podcast is recorded, edited, and ready to kick off your week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed slippery sidewalks in Edmonton, what the Oilers might do at the trade deadline, the weigh-in shenanigans, and much more. Chalmers kicked off the Monday episode of Real Life with a story about falling on the ice after the melt in Edmonton has resulted in some of the slipperiest sidewalks you can imagine. As it turns out, Chalmers isn't the only one to wipe out lately, as Baggedmilk revealed that he also took a spill this past week while walking his dog. Needless to say, reminding people to be careful out there when you're walking around. Turning the podcast to the Oilers, Tyler quizzed Chalmers on how much he's been paying attention to the news ahead of the NHL trade deadline. As you likely suspected, Chalmers hasn't really been paying attention all that much, but did hear about the recent Evander Kane news about wanting to come back to prove he's still got it. Given the Oilers' cap limitations, this latest Kane news isn't likely to be overly popular around these parts. Changing gears, Chalmers brought Tyler up to date with the Real Life weight loss challenge shenanigans, and how the boys still don't feel as though they should pay him considering his winning weight was not at a sanctioned weigh-in. With Jay on his way back from France as the podcast was recording, it will be fascinating to hear his side of the story and whether he think his win is legitimate. Finally, the fellas wrapped up the Monday podcast with an array of topics, including wallet innovation, getting ID'd at restaurants, men's league showers, and whether anyone cares about St. Patricks Day. As always, the boys were all over the map to close out the show, which was as predictable as it was unpredictable. 💻 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 weight loss challenge debate, Wayne Gretzky, and Chalmers' movie review

    It's Thursday afternoon, which means a brand new episode of the Real Life podcast is here to help us make sense of the world around us. The guys started off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a conversation about why Tyler still leaves his location on despite none of the other guys sharing theirs. Somehow, talking about Tyler being sick at home led to Chalmers going on an epic rant about Jay's win in the weight-loss challenge. As you'll hear, the way by which Jay revealed that he had lost 20 pounds over a full day before the sanctioned weigh-ins. Changing gears, Wanye told a story from one of his dreams, in which Tyler had a mini-version of himself after seeing him appear on CBC in an interview. That led to a discussion about the heat Wayne Gretzky is taking in Canada for his association with the US president. Regardless of your opinion on what's happening with this situation, there's little doubt that we are living in one of the wildest timelines imaginable. The conversation then moved into a run of conspiracy theories that revolved around fake news and A.I. that seem to grab hold on social media these days, and how damaging those situations can be. While it's fun to use A.I. to make funny images, videos, and whatever else is going on, there's also a very dark segment of users that are using these tools for harm and shenanigans. So what's the answer to the problem? Only time will tell. Finally, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of Real Life with a second rant from Chalmers after his kids are at home because of P.D. days at their school, which seem to be a running concern in their household. The guys then finished off with some golf talk after the new season of Full Swing was loaded up to Netflix this past week, and how well the producers of that show have done to highlight the sport. 💻 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.

    Tyler's Uber adventure, a 4 Nations recap, and Chantal Kreviazuk

    Monday afternoon means another episode of the Real Life podcast is set and ready to kick off your week. On today's episode, the guys discussed Tyler's Uber issue, travel stories from Montreal and Boston, and whatever random topics came to mind as they were recording. The guys started the Monday episode of Real Life by discussing why Tyler and Baggedmilk were the only ones who showed up for the Monday podcast. After starting the show by wondering where everyone was, Jay and Wanye wandered into the studio after the recording had already started, which derailed the conversation but also made it better. Changing gears, Tyler told a story about getting scammed by an Uber in Montreal after pre-booking a ride to the airport. As you'll hear, this was one of the most confusing Uber situations ever. While the car was in motion on the way to the airport, the driver tried to hustle Tyler out of some cash instead of taking him where he needed to be for the pre-negotiated fare. No matter how you look at the situation, it seems like Tyler got ripped off in what can only be described as a very odd situation. From there, Tyler told a few stories about his time in Montreal and Boston, which he described as one of the coolest sports experiences he's had with The Nation Network so far. He talked about the Canada vs. USA final, driving to Boston through a snowstorm, and took listeners behind the scenes on what it was like to put on live shows from the event. If you thought it was going to be one of those situations where everything ran smoothly, you will be pleasantly surprised at how things tend to go sideways. Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast with an array of topics, including everyone's excitement for the Olympics, how great it was that Connor McDavid got his signature moment with Team Canada, and why Tyler needs to watch the movie Armageddon. As always, the Monday episode of Real Life was all over the map and wasn't able to stick on a single topic for very long.  💻 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.

    Canada vs. USA, Dad stories, and the SNL 50th anniversary special

    We're only hours away from Canada taking on the USA at the 4 Nations Face-Off, which meant an opportunity to talk about the 4 Nations final, dad stories, the Saturday Night Live 50th anniversary, and a whole lot more. The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life by discussing the Canada vs. USA 4 Nations final, which is coming up on Thursday, and how that tournament engaged fans all over the continent. While many folks weren't excited about the tournament before it began, it didn't take long before all of those doubters were fully wrapped up in the moment. Needless to say, there is a very real appetite for best-on-best hockey, and this tournament is a perfect example of that. Changing gears, Wanye told another dad story about going to pick up his little man from daycare and having his four-year-old son scream as loud as he could in his ear. As you'll hear — see what we did there — Wanye is stumped about what to do after ChatGPT told him to seek medical attention if the problem doesn't clear up in 24 hours. Wanye's story inspired Chalmers to rant about his boys' school schedule over the next two weeks, and how it's impossible to understand how little class time his boys actually have. Finally, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of Real Life with a chat about the Saturday Night Live 50th Anniversary Special. If you're a big fan of the legendary sketch show, the amount of content about the anniversary lately has been fantastic. As you'll hear, Chalmers was incredibly excited about the special and was not shy about sharing his favourite moments.  💻 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.

    Checking in from the 4 Nations Face-Off in Montreal

    The boys are in Montreal for the 4 Nations Face-Off, which meant an opportunity to talk about what it’s like to be in the city for the tournament and to recap the Canada vs. Sweden game.  Jay, Tyler, and Baggedmilk are in Montreal for the 4 Nations Face-Off and they kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life by recapping their experience from the Canada vs. Sweden game on Wednesday night. Starting with a recap of the Bell Centre, the guys gave their take on what was like to watch a game in that arena. Getting to the game itself, the guys spoke about how the excitement from the evening really ramping up the overall vibes of the tournament. For anyone who was on the fence about the tourney, seeing the players give it their all really pulled the fans into the game. By the time the game went to overtime, the arena was brimming with excitement, and it was impossible not to get wrapped up in the moment.  Changing gears, Jay then told the story of sitting next to Ken Holland on the plane to Montreal, and how they ended up becoming fast friends as the flight progressed. As you’ll hear, Jay’s conversation with the former-Oilers GM was all over the map, and it was fascinating how forthcoming the future Hall of Famer was with the details.  Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast with a random collection of topics, including some cafeteria talk from the Bell Centre, the price of beers, and why Quebec uses commas in their numbers instead of the usual period. As our friend Woz would say, the culture shock was real. 💻 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.

    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.
