  • Nation HQ #ChairGate, Liam's Quarterback Rankings, and the Blue Jays
    2025/09/15

    Monday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you kick off your workweek. On today's podcast, the guys discussed #ChairGate at Nation HQ, airplane seating, Liam's quarterback rankings, the Toronto Blue Jays, into any other topics that arose.


    The guys started the Monday episode of Real Life with a discussion from Liam Horrobin about his hatred for the chairs in the office. As you'll hear, there are 40 chairs at Nation HQ, and that is way too many for our man, even though Baggedmilk passionately disagrees with him. Yet, as the conversation continued, the guys seemed to find a solution that would both rid the office of some of the useless chairs while not liquidating the office of potential seating options.


    Changing gears, Liam also walked through his quarterback betting rankings after a tough run of betting sank his weekend. As you'll hear, Liam's colour-coded quarterback system is based mainly on vibes and sometimes on the total body of work. While the boys were trying to poke holes in his system, you have to give Liam credit for sticking to his guns and defending his system. The real question will be how his system pays him back over the course of the season, provided he's sticking to it.


    Finally, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics, including a quick recap of Tyler's trip to Toronto to watch the Blue Jays, the Oilers vs Flames rookie weekend, and a random trip through southern geography, as Jay described where he'd like to live in the states if he was forced to move down south. As always, the Monday episode was all over the map and featured very little Oilers talk, as expected.

  • Kirill Kaprisov's contract, Oilers jersey leaks, and Wanye is excited about Ike Howard
    2025/09/11

    Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you kick off your workweek. On today's podcast, the guys discussed the start of the NFL season, jersey purchases, Pink Pony Club origin, and delved into any other topics that arose.


    The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life by discussing the best time of the year for sports, now that the NHL is underway, the Jays are chasing a division win, and the NFL season has begun. There are so many sports stories to be excited about, and the guys kicked off the podcast with a conversation about Shadeur Sanders' jersey being a top seller despite not even being the starting QB in Cleveland. Talking about jerseys led the boys to talk about which unis they would buy if they were in the market for a new one.


    Changing gears, the guys looked at the Connor McDavid contract situation and wondered whether or not these delays are tied to Kirill Kaprisov's stalemate in Minnesota. Yesterday, it was reported that the Wild star turned down a $16 million AAV over eight years, which led to a conversation about whether these two contracts are linked. If Kaprisov is turning down that much smoke, does that mean that Connor McDavid is waiting to see where he lands before signing his own extension?


    Finally, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics, including Coldplay being set to pass Taylor Swift's tour gross earnings, Connor Brown spilling the Pink Pony Club details, the Real Life Fantasy Football League, and the new Charlie Sheen documentary that just got loaded to Netflix. The squad may have been shorthanded this week, but that didn't stop them from yammering on about anything and everything for an hour.

  • Jay and Chalmers' golf weekend, the NFL is back, and Connor McDavid
    2025/09/08

    Monday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you kick off your workweek. On today's podcast, the guys discussed Jay and Chalmers' golf trip, casino etiquette, NFL opening weekend, and delved into any other topics that arose.


    The guys started the Monday episode of Real Life with a discussion about Jay and Chalmers' golf trip to Kamloops, and how both guys are not feeling their freshest after being away. Not only were they getting after it on the golf course, but they also seemed to carry the vibes into the casino with them. From a long weekend with the boys to an extended travel day on the way home, and even playing well on the course, it was clear that Jay and Chalmers had a great weekend and are paying for it today.

    Changing gears, the guys discussed the start of the NFL season and how Tyler cashed in big on the Sunday nighter between the Bills and Ravens. Needless to say, having the NFL back this weekend was a big moment for the boys on the podcast, marking the official start of the best time for sports in the calendar year. If there was a downside to football being back, it had to be that everyone was watching the NFL and not reading the content on the TNN family of websites.


    Finally, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics, including the Kawhi Leonard cap circumvention with the Clippers, whether or not this situation is unique in sports, and whether there's going to be more similar stories like this that will come out. Sticking with contract discussions, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life by wondering what is going on with the Connor McDavid situation and whether the Oilers will be able to get the job done.

  • Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' 15th season, Blue Jays playoff chase, and the NFL season
    2025/09/04

    Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you kick off your workweek. On today's podcast, the guys discussed Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' 15th season with the Oilers, the Toronto Blue Jays, the NFL season kicking off, and delved into any other topics that arose.


    The guys started the Thursday episode of Real Life by welcoming Wanye back to the podcast after he filled in for Jason Gregor on Sports 1440 last week. Wanye always has fun filling in for Gregor, but getting back on the podcast is always refreshing because he's able to say whatever he wants without worrying about swearing live on air. From there, Tyler asked Baggedmilk to blind rank the Top 5 most surprising moments from Ryan Nugent-Hopkins' career with the Oilers.


    Changing gears, the guys started talking a little baseball with a recap of the Houston Astros pitcher situation after Framber Valdez seemingly crossed up his catcher with a 93 mph sinker to the gut. While both players said it was an accident in the media, no one in the baseball world believes them. Sticking with the MLB, Tyler got Wanye caught up on what's been happening with the Blue Jays and how exciting it is to watch them mash their way through the final portion of the season.


    Finally, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics, including Wanye questioning Baggedmilk's Vikings fandom, Drake appearing on Bobbi Althoff's new podcast despite the drama from the last time, and a look at the first week of the NFL season on deck. As always, the Thursday episode of Real Life was all over the map.

  • The Real Life fishing derby, Oilersnation Open, and Connor McDavid's contract
    2025/08/28

    Monday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you kick off your workweek. On today's podcast, the guys discussed the Sherwood Power Sports and Marine fishing derby, the Oilersnation Open, and delved into any other topics that arose.


    The guys started the Monday episode of Real Life with a discussion about the Oilersnation Open that kicks off Friday morning at Millwoods Golf Club, and how everyone is so excited to get going on the seventh annual tourney in support of Gregor's Grads. Not only are the boys to get out on the course, but they're also excited about having everyone get together for what is undoubtedly one of the best dates on our calendar.


    Changing gears, the guys recapped the Real Life fishing derby that happened on Tuesday after a few of the boys took on the crew from Sherwood Power Sports and Marine. As you'll hear, the boys not only smoked the Sherwood Power Sports team in the head-to-head tournament, but it also gave Tyler a first-hand look at how great fishing can be. While he did say he probably won't fish again, he did admit that he would like to go again if someone forced the issue.


    Finally, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics, including the run the Blue Jays are on right now. Not only are the Jays playing some fantastic baseball right now, but they're also so much fun to watch that people are getting completely wrapped up in the moment. Shifting gears, the guys looked at the Connor McDavid quotes from yesterday's Team Canada Olympic orientation camp that happened yesterday in Calgary.

  • Fishing derbies, beer league hockey, and the Oilersnation Open
    2025/08/25

    Monday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you kick off your workweek. On today's podcast, the guys discussed this week's fishing derby, the Real Life fantasy football league, beer league hockey, and anything else that came about.


    The guys started the Monday episode of Real Life with a discussion about Tuesday's fishing derby presented by Sherwood Power Sports & Marine. While the boys don't really know what to expect from the derby, the boys are excited to get out on the boat and do what they can to beat our friends at Sherwood Ford. As you'll hear, Chalmers was full of helpful advice for Tyler, who will be making his fishing debut.


    Shifting gears, Tyler went on a rant about beer league hockey after the cost for playing went up to $13,500 in his league for the 2025-26 season. As you'll hear, it works out to $855 per player, which bothers Tyler because the annual increases seem to get bigger year over year. While beer league is a favourite Tyler pastime, having to chase his teammates for the cash is making his weekly games a little less fun.


    Finally, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics, including Chalmers working through his boys' hockey tryouts, the Real Life fantasy football league, the upcoming Oilersnation Open, and whatever else was coming to mind. As you'll hear, the back half of the podcast was all over the map despite having no prep done ahead of time. Needless to say, trying to map out an episode of Real Life is like trying to lasso a tornado.

  • Tyler's Ace Race, planning for next year, and the Oilersnation Open
    2025/08/21

    Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you wrap up your workweek. On today's podcast, the guys discussed Tyler's Ace Race, putting the event together, whether they'll do a mega stream like that again, and more.


    The guys started the Thursday episode of Real Life with a conversation about Tyler's Ace Race that happened on Monday, and how it was a fantastic day at Cattail Crossing despite not achieving the goal. Even though Tyler didn't drain his hole-in-one, there's absolutely no doubt that it was a tremendous day of content that only happened because he was such a good sport. It was also interesting to hear Tyler's perspective on the day because even getting to the golf course on Monday wasn't exactly smooth.


    Walking through the day, it was interesting to hear Tyler give his version of what happened and what adjustments he would make before the rematch. From taking more breaks to slowing down his swings between balls, there are more versions of this challenge that will happen in the future. As you'll hear, this first attempt for Tyler to hit a hole-in-one sets the table for an upgraded revenge tour for the next go around, and our boy's competitive spirit will likely lead him back to the tee box in the near future.


    Finally, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of Real Life with a look ahead at the Oilersnation Open, and whether the 18 hours of golf on Monday will affect Tyler's play on tourney day. Somehow talking about the ONO led to an argument about Tyler's golf handicap after the truth came out that Chalmers doesn't believe his number is real or not. Needless to say, this was a very golf heavy episode of the podcast, and one that could spawn another round of inter-podcast challenges.

  • Ice makers, Facebook Marketplace, and the Pigeon Lake Music Festival
    2025/08/14

    Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you wrap up your workweek. On today's podcast, the guys discussed Facebook Marketplace, ice makers, and more.


    The guys started the Thursday episode of Real Life with a conversation with Chalmers about why he hasn't been on the podcast for the last few weeks. As it turns out, moving the studio from upstairs back to the primary office was a major sticking point for Chalmers because it raised the barrier to entry for him to have a podcast cocktail. Somehow, talking about the studio move led to a conversation about buying an industrial ice maker for your residence. Too much? Good living?


    Changing gears, the boys spoke about buying and selling items on Facebook Marketplace. While Baggedmilk and Chalmers have never moved any units on Facebook, producer Eli walked the boys through how he's currently selling his car on the platform. Trying to help Eli move his car, the guys started working through the details on his vehicle to see if the fellas can drum up more clicks heading to his car ad.


    Finally, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of Real Life with a story from Wanye about when he and Jay got in a car accident on the QE2 back in the day. Thankfully, the boys were all okay despite the severity of the accident, but the story was jarring to hear for the first time. Chalmers also talked about his weekend at the Pigeon Lake Music Festival, and how it was a wonderful night of nostalgia and music.
