    The pre-Christmas skeleton crew

    Monday afternoon means a new episode of the Real Life Podcast is ready to kick off your week and help you navigate the Christmas break. On today's show, the boys discussed Leon Draisaitl's fantastic season, NFL quarterback gifts, and much more.  With only Baggedmilk and Tyler available to record, the boys started the Monday episode with some Oilers talk. Starting with Leon Draisaitl's commitment to defence, it's been wonderful to watch our German superstar elevating his game at a time when the team needed him. While we've seen him play more of a two-way style in the playoffs, having him do it during the early days of the regular season has been fantastic.  Changing gears, the conversation shifted to some of the gifts NFL quarterbacks are giving their offensive linemen as gifts, and what we've learned is that those dudes are that they have no problem spending cash on the big men who protect them. Whether it's giving the O-line a new car, expensive tequila, or explaining that they can't all get guns, it's fascinating to see the kind of money that flies around at Christmas.  Getting back on the ice, Baggedmilk and Tyler spent some time talking about the father and son who got into a fight with each other at a beer league game. It prompted the boys to wonder how they would fare against their own dads if push came to shove. As you'll hear, neither of them thinks they'd have any chance against their dads on flat ground but could have a chance to win that fight on ice.  Finally, Tyler and Baggedmilk wrapped up the podcast with some more hockey talk as they looked around the league and tried to figure out why some of the bad teams aren't better. Why do the Buffalo Sabres always suck? Is Steve Yzerman as good of a general manager as people expected? All the fellas know for sure is that there are a lot of stinky teams out there, and knowing that gives Baggedmilk comfort.  💻 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 Nation Christmas party, love for washer fluid, and Zach Hyman's broken nose

    Thursday afternoon means a new episode of the Real Life Podcast is ready to wrap up your week and help you navigate the rest of it. On today's show, the guys discussed the Nation Christmas party, Babe Rwuth theories, and some love for Zach Hyman's toughness. The boys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a discussion about the Nation Christmas party that happened last night at Nation HQ and how the party rolled on until 4 AM for some of the staff. After spending literally two seconds recapping the party, the conversation turned to a much darker place. If you've never heard the Babe Ruth stories from back in the day, this first section of the podcast will be illuminating. From there, the conversation turned back to the White Elephant gift exchange at the Nation Christmas party and how it was an elite way to spend an hour. Not only were there endless steals, but the chaos that ensued as the rounds progressed was thrilling to witness. That also led to the boys discussing whether it's fair game to take your own present back, provided you're not thrilled with the other options. Moving the show back to the Oilers, the guys started the discussion with some love for Zach Hyman after getting his nose broken and returning to play the very next period. If you've seen the pictures of him from practice Thursday morning, it's incredible to think of how tough the guy has to be to keep playing with that kind of injury. The fellas also covered the disappointing loss to the Florida Panthers on Monday, and how it was an annoying blip during what has been a fantastic stretch of hockey.  Finally, Chalmers asked the guys for their opinion on using the app Splitwise, and if it ever makes sense to split costs equally. While there are certainly times when splitting the bill makes sense, getting too much into the weeds on expenses can really ruin the vibe of a trip. As you'll hear, no one on the podcast subscribes to this kind of thing, and you'd be better off not inviting them anywhere if you are.  💻 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 Oilers cannot stop winning & Tyler became a cop

    The guys are back for a new edition of the Real Life Podcast as they sat down to recap the weekend. To kick things off, Tyler talked about his EPS ride along from this weekend. He shared a few stories and the guys wondered if would make a good police officer. There were a couple of spicy moments that he told everyone about and that took the podcast in a few pretty interesting directions. From there, they started talking about the Oilers big win over the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday afternoon. The big story was whether or not Jays daughter was finally able to meet Hunter the Lynx but outside of that, they did talk about what’s been driving this winning streak for the Oil. Wanye says it was the most impressive win of the season which led to a look back at some of the other big games from the first two months of the season. Is this Oilers team back to the same level that they were at the end of last season? The guys broke it all down. They then talked about a couple of big trips that the group has coming in 2025 including going back out to Jasper for the annual pond hockey tournament and heading to Vegas for the Oilers game in April. They shared what they’re excited about and talked about how you can join them! 💻 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.

    Egg Nog, the #NationVacation to Vegas, and don't ever give Tyler a gift card for Christmas

    Thursday afternoon means a new episode of the Real Life Podcast is ready to wrap up your week and help you navigate the rest of it. On today's show, the guys discussed Christmas gift-giving, the price of hockey equipment, and where everyone sits with Egg Nog. The boys started the podcast with an extended conversation about tap water and how Chalmers has resorted to buying distilled water to make his ice to avoid the fog caused by tap water. As you'll hear, no one was on board with this strategy, and the reaction to his story left Chalmers feeling vulnerable about his admission. Somehow, the discussion about tap water and ice machines led to a conversation about egg nog. Tyler had some in his fridge but refused to try them. From there, the guys wondered if there are any Egg Nog applications they haven't experienced yet. Would it make sense in a latte? How about raw dog pouring it into coffee instead of milk or creamer? Changing gears, Chalmers went on a classic rant about the price of hockey sticks and how both of his sons needed new ones this past week, effectively eliminating the bulk of their Christmas present. Talking about hockey sticks then got the guys going on Tyler's beef with getting gift cards at Christmas, but as you'll hear, his logic on the topic wasn't exactly sound. Finally, the boys wrapped up the Thursday episode of the podcast with a collection of topics, including Juan Soto's new contract, Chalmers new phone game, and the brand new Nation Vacation to Vegas that launched Thursday. As always, the Thursday episode of Real Life was all over the map, so this is the perfect podcast for you if you're into shenanigans and nonsense.  💻 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.

    Baggedmilk and Jay are back, booing Broberg/Holloway, and pond hockey

    It wouldn't be a Monday afternoon without a fresh episode of the Real Life podcast, would it? Of course not. The guys kicked off the first podcast episode of the week by discussing the Nation Citizen Christmas party and how the boys are excited to see everyone at Dogpatch for a night of shenanigans and a viewing party. That led to a chat about Baggedmilk and Jay's time in Toronto and how they had to jump on a plane almost immediately after getting home from the #NationVacation from Denver. Turning the show back to the Oilers, the conversation turned to whether or not it was fair that the Rogers Place faithful let the boo birds rain down on Dylan Holloway and Philip Broberg. Unlike some folks in the media, the boys thought booing them was fair game. Even though both players weren't necessarily at fault for the offer sheet situation, everyone wondered if part of booing those two was also a reflection of what the fanbase thinks of management. Changing gears, the guys discussed the Juan Soto contract that he signed with the NY Mets and how the money in that sport is completely bananas. Despite not being in the same league as Shohei Ohtani in terms of being a hitter and pitcher, the Soto contract is almost as big as the New York Mets decided to empty the vault out for the former-Yankee. Now that Soto is a Met, it will be fantastic to see what the reception is like the first time he goes back to Yankee stadium. Finally, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a discussion about the annual Jasper Pond Hockey Tournament that will be happening again in January. After the devastation of the wildfires from this past summer, knowing that the tourney is back makes everyone so very happy. If you want to sign up for the tournament, head to the CHE Hockey website and enter your team before they're full. 💻 Website: https://oilersnation.com/ https://twitter.com/ONradiopodcast https://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/  https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/ https://www.instagram.com/onradiopodcast/ https://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation  SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.

    Chalmers is off the IR & he’s angry!

    The boys are back in Edmonton for their regularly scheduled Thursday edition of The Real Life Podcast. With Jay and Baggedmilk still on the road, today’s episode featured Tyler, Wanye, and Chalmers and one of the three was in a very spicy mood. Chalmers hasn't been on the podcast for a few weeks as he recovered from elbow surgery and he returned to tell us the tales of his surgery and how good he’s feeling in the aftermath. He was also livid that the boys are back in the old studio after moving upstairs for exactly one episode. From there, they talked about the Four Nations Faceoff roster reveal and the stunning lack of Oilers in the mix for Team Canada. They also talked about the selection process in general and then got into some talk about the current state of the Oilers after their 1-0 loss to the Golden Knights.  Tyler also told some more tales from The Nation Vacation and Chalmers had some takes about the current state of youth hockey. 💻 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 first episode in the new studio

    Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast is here to wrap up your week and help you navigate this crazy little thing called life. Unsurprisingly, the Thursday episode of the podcast was all over the map, with no single topic lasting for more than a few minutes. The guys started the Thursday episode of the podcast by discussing the new studio at Nation HQ and how Wanye is torn about converting one of the rooms into another studio. After spending a minute talking about the new studio, the conversation turned to the Nation Citizens Christmas party at Dogpatch on December 12th. With limited space available, you'll want to reserve a spot early. As you'll hear, the conversation didn't stay on track for long, as Tyler was very distracted by the bets he put down for the Lions vs. Bears game. That also led the guys to get distracted by Yaremchuk's betting sheet after he decided to write down everything he had on a loose-leaf piece of paper. Needless to say, our man puts the work in when it comes to football.  Changing gears, the guys spent some time talking about tomorrow's Nation Vacation to Denver and how the logistics leading up to the trip have been hilarious. As you'll hear, the staff from Nation HQ has all kinds of interesting travel quirks, and organizing trips like this brings out the hilarity for everyone involved. Finally, the boys wrapped up the Thursday episode of the podcast with a random collection of topics, including a look at the streamer world, cryptocurrency, and how it's fun for Canadians to mail it in on American Thanksgiving even though it's only Thursday up here. Sure, your boss may expect you to work today, but the reality is that no one is doing much of anything.  💻 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.
