It's Tuesday afternoon and there's a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio set, which means the NHL regular season is just around the corner because we're back to two podcasts per week. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed the Oilers' first road trip of the year, Baggedmilk's trivia, season predictions, and much more.Oilers heading out for first road trip of the NHL seasonWe kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about what the Oilers need to do on their first road trip of the season to call it a successful run through the East. Given that the Oilers are supposed to be one of the best teams in the NHL, the guys all had very different ideas of what the Oilers need to do to be considered a success. The tricky part of predicting results on an early road trip like this is that teams are still so sloppy early in the year, creating opportunities for unexpected results. Changing gears, the guys looked back at the Oilers' 3-1 win over the Vancouver Canucks, and how that game was far more lopsided than the score probably suggested. As much as it was frustrating in the moment, it was hard not to be impressed by how well Thatcher Demko played and how he was the only reason this wasn't a blowout. The guys also discussed the $2500 fine issued against Tyler Myers for sticking Connor McDavid in the pills, and how a value like that is meaningless for a player who's made $90 million in his career. We also discussed the new line combinations that are set for Tuesday's matchup vs. the Rangers. Finally, we wrapped up the Tuesday episode of ONR with another round of season predictions for the 2025-26 NHL season, including some additional goal totals, head-to-heads, and anything else we could think about to build out what we started last week. From team goal predictions to Pacific Division standings to how many starts Stuart Skinner will make this season, the end of the first Tuesday episode of ONR was as fun as it was all over the map.

Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you wrap up the week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed reality TV, when Tyler's going to start having children, Baggedmilk's trip to Minneapolis, and much more.The guys started the Monday episode of Real Life with a discussion about how it was the first time everyone had been on the podcast in quite some time. As you'll hear, the topics move all over the map when the squad is together, and the first 15 minutes of Thursday's podcast covered a lot of ground. From Big Brother being awful to when Tyler plans for having kids, there was a long run of topics that were all over the map.Changing gears, Baggedmilk recapped his ultimate sports weekend in Minneapolis and walked through the experience of going to a high school football game, a Twins doubleheader, and the Vikings' beatdown over the Bengals on Sunday afternoon. For a fan of live sports, watching that many sports in a span of three days was as good as it gets. The best part of doing a sports weekend like that is how there was so much going on, and a lot of fun to be had. Finally, the guys walked through some betting talk ahead of the Ryder Cup. Tyler, Jay, and Chalmers are all picking a horse to bet on for the weekend, and they could not be more excited about the tournament. From there, Chalmers gave his keys to coaching minor hockey and offered some advice on how to get your team into tournaments before they fill up. Hosted on Acast.

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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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. SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!

It's Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of off-season Oilers talk. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed Tyler's Ace Race, waiting on Connor McDavid, and much more.We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about an under-the-radar player that everyone is excited to watch this coming season. From Stuart Skinner rebounding to Trent Frederic playing healthy as an Oiler for the first time to Adam Henrique having a better offensive season, there are plenty of players on the roster the boys are excited to watch. Needless to say, the squad is hopeful about what the current roster will be able to do in 2025-26. Looking at the limited news that happened this past week, the guys discussed a new goaltending rumour that suggested Edmonton could be interested in one of Detroit's many goaltenders. We also discussed recent speculation from John Shannon that suggested Connor McDavid's contract extension could come in cheaper than some folks expect. Talking about McDavid's extension led the boys to wonder when No. 97's name will end up on a contract, and Baggedmilk has a horrible feeling it's going to come through when everyone is on the golf course for the Oilersnation Open. Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of Ask the Idiots, betting talk for our friends at bet365, and Hot and Cold Performers to look back on the week. With just over two months left until the start of the 2025-26 season, the guys spent the bulk of the Friday episode talking about an array of topics that were Oilers-related or not at all, but that's what happens in August.

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 wedding, hall passes, social media algorithms, and more.The guys started the Thursday episode of Real Life with a look at Tyler's wedding that's happening this weekend, and how this will be the last show he does for another two weeks. As you'll hear, despite his wedding being in only two days, Tyler still has plenty of things to do before the big day. That led to a discussion about the scratch tickets Tyler will be giving out to all attendees, and how Baggedmilk claims he wouldn't give the couple a cut if he wins big.Changing gears, Chalmers wanted to talk about Tyler's hole-in-one challenge. Chalmers has been playing a ton of golf lately, and he's very concerned about Yaremchuk's ability to achieve his goal based on an exhaustive list of variables. From the weather to fatigue to frustration, there is a list of items that need to be checked off if he has any chance of draining one. Somehow, talking about golf led to a discussion about social media algorithms not making any sense. Even when you don't think you're interested in things, sometimes the timeline serves up some wild stuff that locks you in. Finally, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of Real Life with a discussion about K-Days and how Chalmers was concerned about sending his kids on their own, given some of the mayhem you see on social media. Thankfully, the boys had a great time and an uneventful day, but having social media often showing the worst of us leads to these difficult decisions. SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!

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 old Nation Gear designs, reality TV, Eli on the Ferris wheel, AI-generated content, and more.The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a discussion about Nation Gear and whether Wanye and Baggedmilk have kept all of their old articles of clothing. After walking through some of the old designs, the conversation turned to how many hats everyone has and whether they wear them to death. Changing gears, Wanye wanted to talk about Reality TV and a very special episode of Hoarders that lives rent-free in his mind. That led the guys to wonder if there is anything in their lives they love so much that could turn into an unreasonable obsession. As you'll hear, everyone on the podcast is pretty boring apart from Wanye trying to adopt an all-day coffee routine that he heard a billionaire does daily.From there, Eli talked about his time on the Ferris wheel at K-Days, after spending over 20+ hours there with Chris Sheetz as he pushed to set the world record for the most time cruising around. After spending so much time spinning around, Eli had a bunch of funny stories from his time cruising around for the record attempt. That said, Eli also broke the news that not every record attempt is what we think it is. Finally, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of Real Life with a recap of the AI content Wanye made about Tyler over the last few weeks, and how we're only allowed to use the images he made while Tyler is away on his honeymoon. Needless to say, the boys were having fun with an array of random topics that left Yaremchuk invariably uncomfortable.SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!

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 wedding booze budget, backpacking in parts unknown, flavoured Oreos, and more.The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a discussion about how much Tyler is spending on wedding booze, and what the approach will be for doling out drinks without being wasteful. Somehow, talking about Tyler's wedding led Wanye and Baggedmilk down the rabbit hole of bopping around Thailand and how alcohol is basically free compared to the prices we're used to paying.Changing gears, the guys looked at the viral Coldplay moment that took over the Internet this week, and how cheating on your missus in a public forum like that isn't the brightest idea. Seeing as the video of the couple's forbidden caress is all over the web, the guys came up with some ideas on how you can spend time with your mistress without getting caught. Of course, all of these tips and advice were just for show and the boys on the Real Life Podcast would never encourage such behaviour.Finally, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a look ahead at the Oilersnation Open, and how the bidding has opened to play with Jay and Chalmers or Tyler and Pat Puff. While Tyler admitted that Jay and Chalmers are better golfers, the guys wondered what kind of cheating would be necessary for the boys to avenge last year's loss. Either way, the ONO is almost sold out once again, and waiting around to enter a team will burn you for real. SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!

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 Isaac Howard's future with the Oilers, construction issues in the city, and anything else that came about.The guys kicked off the Monday podcast with a discussion about construction in the city after Chalmers was late for the show because he was stuck in traffic. While being trapped at 1:30 PM on a Monday seems unlikely, it did lead to an interesting conversation about how navigating the city is almost impossible at this point. Will the construction be done by the end of summer? Unlikely. Changing topics, the guys discussed some of the changes the Oilers have made over the last week, including the trade for Isaac Howard and the swapping out of a handful of coaches. Starting with the Ice Man, the guys wanted to know how excited everyone is allowed to get about a hotshot prospect who has yet to play even a shift of NHL hockey. Despite winning the Hobey Baker Trophy, there is concern that he got the job done in his draft +2 season, which is unlike some of the winners who came before him.From there, the guys recapped Baggedmilk's weekend in Seattle and Chalmers' dislike of the new Mission Impossible movie because the villain wasn't evil enough. Talking about movies and TV led the guys to discuss the first week of Big Brother, even though Chalmers was the only one who had watched the first couple of episodes. If you're one of the listeners who hates when the boys talk BB, then this is your warning that the Big Brother talk will be kicking off shortly. Finally, the guys confirmed a location and date for Tyler's hole-in-one challenge. Thanks to the folks at Cattail Crossing, Tyler will be teeing off on August 18th to see if he's able to get the job done. While Tyler remains confident that he can get the job done, the conversation turned to the logistical side of the challenge and how it's all going to work so people at home can join in on the action.

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 NHL Draft, Tyler's cat conundrum, Oilers rumours, and more.The guys started the podcast with a conversation about the strange NHL Draft that happened on Friday without the teams being in attendance, while the rest of the players and media were still there. Not only was the first round incredibly boring and awkward, but the fact that the two days weren't any faster than normal was truly disappointing. Next up, the guys discussed the new CFL collaboration with OVO and how partnering with Drake is a great way to create some buzz in a league that desperately needs attention. The OVO/CFL collaboration allowed Tyler and Bagged Milk to discuss their price limit for buying clothes. When OVO collaborated with the NHL, the cost of hoodies was astronomical, which suggests the same will likely be true for this new CFL merchandise. The next topic was an examination of TikTok algorithms, specifically focusing on the types of content that occupied the boys' feeds. From landscaping to sports science to the random chaos that sometimes fills the void, the remarkable thing about TikTok is how the platform seems to capture people's attention, even when the videos are not their typical interests. Finally, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a recap of the Tyler golf challenge and how there are plenty of people on Twitter who don't believe he has a chance. While Tyler feels confident that he can get the job done — Baggedmilk agrees with him — he does need to think about the challenge tactically if he doesn't want to gas himself out before the job is done.

Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you get through what's left of your workweek. On today's podcast, the guys discussed getting struck by lightning, Jay and Baggedmilk's trip to Toronto, Tyler's bachelor party, and more.The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life by discussing theories about getting struck by lightning. While certainly improbable, the boys offered Tyler a few different scenarios about what it would take from him to accept a lightning strike. Talking golf then led to a discussion about equipment costs in sports, and how much a person can spend on marginal upgrades in their game. From there, Jay and Baggedmilk recapped their trip to Toronto, describing it as an eventful one, complete with meetings, hard work, and a pair of sweeping power outages. From some fun meetings with the crew at La Poche Bleue to hearing NHL stories from Max Lapierre to sweating through multiple shirts on a daily basis, it was a quick trip to Toronto that was as eventful as it was sweaty. Needless to say, it was 48 eventful hours on the road for the boys. Finally, the podcast wrapped with a story of Jay finally getting his wish of missing out on Tyler's bachelor party after Little Brick's 10th anniversary events got in the way. As you'll hear, the conversation is about whether Jay should still go for a shortened weekend or if he should give up his spot to Tyler's dad. In the end, Jay's media responsibilities ended up getting in the way, and the result is that Ross has been given the green light to replace him.

The boys are live from Fort Lauderdale with a poolside edition of Oilersnation Radio. They were all in attendance last night at Amerant Bank Arena as the Florida Panthers smoked the Edmonton Oilers and gained a 2-1 lead in the series. They broke down what went wrong (there was a lot), what the Oilers are going to need to do in order to get back to Alberta with a split and told some stories of their travels to Florida. Join Tyler, Jay, Baggedmilk, Liam and Pat as they give you everything you need to feel a little bit better about the Oilers chances heading into Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final. Hosted on Acast.

Tyler, Baggedmilk, Jay and Liam cracked open a few beers and got on the mic for an on the road edition of The Real Life Podcast. They kicked things off by giving a quick little vibe check from the 'Sunshine State' and then talked about their plan to get tickets for tonights Stanley Cup Final game between their beloved Edmonton Oilers and the Florida Panthers. They also talked about their travel day on Sunday and what they got up to during their first full day on the road.They dug into the Oilers Game 2 loss, talked about what the team needs to do better tonight against the Panthers in order to take back a lead in the series, and they gave some best bets for their friends at Bet365.

Nothing is better than a fresh episode of the Real Life podcast to recap the weekend and start your week. On the Monday episode of Real Life, the guys discussed the Oilers' series win, what to expect from the Vegas Golden Knights, and much more.The boys were shorthanded for the Monday episode of Real Life, but Tyler, Chalmers, and Baggedmilk kicked off the podcast with a recap of their first round win over the Los Angeles Kings. While many of the pundits and experts felt this was the Kings' year to beat the Oilers finally, what actually happened was a fantastic display of resilience by an Edmonton crew that would not quit. As a result, the Kings announced that they've parted ways with Rob Blake as the team's GM only days after a fourth consecutive first-round exit.Looking ahead at the Vegas Golden Knights, Tyler walked the boys through what to expect from their second round matchup vs. the Vegas Golden Knights. While there's little doubt the Golden Knights are a fantastic hockey club, Tyler also singled out some areas where the Oilers could have an advantage over the team that knocked them out of the playoffs two years ago. Changing gears, the guys then looked back at the two Game 7s that happened over the weekend, and how both games had the wildest endings you could ever hope to see.Finally, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics, including a look back at some of the stats from Oilers/Vegas from two years ago, depth scoring, tactics, and much more. Despite playing shorthanded for the Monday show, the boys worked through the hour with an array of topics that were all over the map.

Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and ready to help you through the rest of your work week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed the #NationVacation to Vegas, Alex Ovechkin's goal chase, and much more.The guys started the Thursday episode of Real Life with a recap of the #NationVacation to Las Vegas and how it was a magical few days for the crew on Fremont Street. Starting with the way the boys cleaned up at the craps table, Baggedmilk updated Chalmers on how much money everyone made and how the trio can't seem to lose when they play together.From there, the guys started a semantic argument about the Ovechkin goal record chase and how the goals/game should be factored in once the record is tied. As you'll hear, most of the boys don't care much about those kinds of things, but that didn't stop Jay and Tyler from getting into it anyway.The guys started to wrap up the Thursday episode of Real Life with some Oilers talk about the injuries they're still battling and whether players like Connor McDavid and Stuart Skinner will be back before the playoffs. Given how tight the race is between the Oilers and the Kings, finding ways to win these last eight games has to be the focus. Finally, the Thursday episode of Real Life wound down with some baseball talk about the Jays and the new torpedo bats that seem to be taking the MLB by storm. Tyler and Chalmers then discussed some golf stories that have propped up lately, and we also gave Chalmers Jakey Baby's feedback that he's not a real golf fan. As always, the Thursday episode of Real Life was as random as it was enjoyable.

It's Friday afternoon, the trade deadline has passed, and now it's time to recap everything the Edmonton Oilers got done or didn't get done at the NHL's annual swap 'n shop. On today's show, we discussed the final 10 games of the regular season, team toughness, and much more.The guys kicked off the podcast with a 15-minute argument about traffic circles as the boys tried anything possible to avoid talking about the Oilers. As you'll hear, the boys got passionate after calling Jay into the room to share his theory on a specific traffic circle tactic in the west end. Do you agree with Jay's hack, or are you a traffic circle purist like Baggedmilk?Turning the show to the Oilers, the guys discussed the final 10 games of the season and how much we care about the results in this final stretch. If the team doesn't go 0-10, how much does it matter relative to the Oilers' need to get the team healthy? We also touched on Olivier Rodrigue's NHL debut that happened on Thursday against the Kraken and how it was a strong performance by the young man despite being thrown in the net in dire circumstances. Changing gears, we touched on Stuart Skinner's injury and whether the team in front of him responded adequately. Despite being a throwaway comment by Baggedmilk, the ensuing argument about the lack of team toughness got spicier than expected. As you'll hear, the boys all had very different ideas about the approach to those situations, and it was fascinating to hear everyone work through the angles. Finally, we wrapped up the episode with another round of betting talk, Ask the Idiots questions, and our Hot and Cold Performers. Even though the topics were all over the map, the conversation ended up getting a little bit spicier than you'd imagine from our usual Friday segments. Hosted on Acast.

Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and ready to help you through the rest of your work week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed Wednesday's Oilers game, the What Chaos boys, and much more. The guys started the Thursday episode of Real Life with a discussion about Chalmers ignoring the boys regarding the March 18th Oilers game despite being invited by both Baggedmilk and Tyler. For some reason, Chalmers claims he did not notice the missed phone calls or messages but wanted to thank the boys for the gesture anyway.Changing gears, the podcast got derailed by the What Chaos boys after DJ Bean lost his wallet in the podcast studio. After a few minutes of chaos — pardon the pun — DJ found his wallet, and the boys left the studio. What no one expected, however, is that Chalmers used the opportunity to air out a six-year-old beef he has with Pete Blackburn allegedly stealing one of his tweets. As you'll hear, Chalmers may have an argument about his stolen tweet, but the real question is how Pete will respond.Sticking with the topic of fighting, the guys walked through some old fighting stories from when they were younger and how it's incredible that no one had camera phones in those days. Needless to say, if there is a benefit to being older, it has to be that most of our childhood was not captured on social media. Thankfully, those insane memories are gone forever. Turning the podcast back to the Oilers, the guys walked through Wednesday's game against the Dallas Stars and how it was an exciting night at Rogers Place even though the team couldn't complete the comeback. Despite a horrible run of luck, injuries, and strong goaltending by Jake Oettinger, the game was all over the map, from excitement to heartbreaking. Then again, if you've been an Oilers fan for any length of time, these down periods feel almost like home.

Thursday afternoon means a new episode of the Real Life podcast is ready to wrap up your week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed Mark Carney at Oilers practice, Chalmers not calling the boys back, and much more.The guys kicked off the episode with a discussion about why Chalmers did not return Tyler or Baggedmilk's call when they offered him a free ticket to the Oilers game. Even though the podcast started with Chalmers ghosting the boys, they didn't get more than two seconds into the story before changing topics.The guys then discussed Prime Minister Mark Carney joining the Oilers for practice this morning and how the sight is as interesting as it was controversial for some of the fanbase. Regardless of where you sit politically, what's objectively true is how unique it is for a sitting Prime Minister to be an Oilers fan. Politicians typically jump on the bandwagon in the playoffs, but Carney genuinely seems to love this team. Will a visit from the PM help the boys against the Winnipeg Jets?Changing gears, Tyler wanted to talk about some sports conspiracies after he fell down a rabbit hole of unexplained stories in the world of sports. From Alex Mogilny not being in the Hall of Fame to the Luka Doncic trade to the Lakers to some thinking that the Sedin twins changed place at one point in their career, the stories and theories are limitless. Regardless of what you think of these theories, it certainly is fun to talk about the possibility of high-level shenanigans.Finally, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of Real Life with a collection of random topics, including Kanye's recent run of horrible tweets, TikTok conspiracies, Blockbuster late fees, and much more. As always, the last half of Real Life was all over the place.

Monday afternoon means a new episode of the Real Life podcast is recorded, edited, and ready to kick off your week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed Jay and Baggedmilk's trip to Toronto, the Oilers winning their last two games in New York, the new Ice District development, and much more.The guys started the Monday episode of Real Life by recapping Jay and Baggedmilk's trips to Toronto. They explained that the trips were mostly filled with meetings and complaints about traffic. While it's always nice to see fellow staffers in Toronto, it's also nice to get back to Edmonton and out of the hustle and bustle.Turning the podcast back to the Oilers, Jay expressed his concerns about the Colorado Avalanche being an absolute wagon. Given that the Avalanche's Rantanen trade has seemingly worked out well, does that mean all roads in the Western Conference run through Colorado? On the Oilers front, the guys wondered if the boys were back after their win over the Rangers, which was one of their best games since the 4 Nations break.Changing gears, the guys discussed the new downtown development plan that the city recently greenlit and how the plan to bring more items to the Ice District will transform downtown Edmonton. From the event park to the future housing projects, there's little doubt that Daryl Katz's plan to revitalize the arena district is continuing to come to fruition. While we don't know the dates when the projects will be ready, the squad is still excited about what the city will look like in the near future.Finally, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics, including the favour Tyler is doing for Jay, the PGA Players Championship, another rant from Chalmers about youth sports, and anything that popped into everyone's mind. As always, the Monday episode of Real Life was all over the map, precisely what you'd expect from this podcast.

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.

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.

It's Friday afternoon, which means a new episode of Oilersnation Radio has been recorded and edited and is ready to massage your earholes. On today's podcast, we discussed Canada vs. Sweden, predicted what will happen against Team USA, and much more. We kicked off the newest episode of ONR with a discussion about the anthems at the 4 Nations tournament and whether we think it's appropriate to boo at a sporting event or if the fans should leave politics out of the equation. As you'll hear, no one on the podcast would boo at a hockey game, but they also weren't prepared to say that no one should do it. That said, it's a complicated situation for the NHL and one that doesn't seem to have an end in sight. Changing gears, Baggedmilk told a few stories from his quick trip to Montreal. Despite only being in the city for 39 hours, he had a lot to say about being at the 4 Nations Face-Off, Bell Centre hot dogs being overrated, and what it was like to be in the building for Canada vs. Sweden. Baggedmilk admitted he wasn't overly excited about the tournament leading up to that first game, but that changed almost immediately after walking into the Bell Centre for the first time. Turning the podcast back to the Oilers, we looked through some rumours surrounding the team as the trade deadline approaches on March 7th. Starting with the Noah Dobson rumour that had people excited, Liam threw cold water on the situation after Frank Seravalli appeared on Oilersnation Everyday and said the idea doesn't make sense from an Islanders perspective. We also looked at the latest trade board over at Daily Faceoff and tried to figure out which other names might be a fit. Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of betting talk ahead of Saturday's matchup between Canada and the USA, some Ask the Idiots questions that were all over the board, and finally our Hot and Cold Performers of the week. As always, the final chunk of the podcast was all over the map with an array of topics and side quests.

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.

It's Tuesday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your earholes and cover all of the Edmonton Oilers' biggest stories. This week, we're discussing the 4 Nations Face-Off, the Oilers' approach to the trade deadline, and much more. We kicked off the Tuesday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about how the NHL can get people more excited about the 4 Nations Face-Off. After cruising around social media, Baggedmilk got the sense that not everyone is dialled into the idea of the tournament taking over the next two weeks. As a result, the fellas came up with whatever ideas they could to try and raise the hype surrounding this one-off tourney. Turning the podcast back to the Oilers, we walked through Edmonton's loss to the Avalanche on Friday night and how it was a frustrating loss to see them go down the way they did. Starting with another tough night for Stuart Skinner, the Oilers had essentially lost that game before it even started after a string of costly errors put them in a hole in the first period. That had the boys wondering if Skinner's struggles have amplified the Oilers' need to acquire a goaltender, which led to Liam wondering where the John Gibson noise keeps coming from. Looking at some positive Oilers news, we talked about the incredible season Leon Draisaitl is having and how he seems to be getting better with each passing game. Even though some folks out east don't seem to appreciate his brilliance, watching him hit new levels and raise his game the way he has is a real treat to watch. Finally, we wrapped up the Tuesday episode with a round of rumour talk before getting into some betting talk for the 4 Nations tournament.

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.

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?

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?

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.

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/NationRealLifehttps://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/nationreallife/https://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!

It's Tuesday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your earholes and cover all of the Edmonton Oilers' biggest stories. On this week's podcast, we discussed the NHL playoff format, Monday's win over the Los Angeles Kings, and a whole lot more.We kicked off the Tuesday podcast with a delicious debate about the NHL playoff format and whether it's time for the league to revisit how the post-season is set up. With the current setup in place, the NHL clearly focuses on playoff rivalries more so than if everyone got re-seeded. Still, a conversation at Nation HQ made Baggedmilk wonder if it's time to re-visit the current format, which ultimately prompted the discussion.Returning to the Oilers, we looked back at last night's 1-0 win over the Los Angeles Kings and how it was one of Edmonton's best defensive outings of the season. Given that only one goal was scored all night, it was crucial to manage the puck carefully to avoid costly errors, and the guys discussed why the Oilers could do that successfully. We also discussed Connor McDavid scoring the game-winner on his 28th birthday and how an incredible second effort by Leon Draisaitl made the whole play possible.Sticking with the news from the past few days, we revisited Jeff Skinner being healthy scratched again and whether there's something to that lineup decision or if Kris Knoblauch went 11/7 to add some size to the lineup with Josh Brown. Given that Skinner was starting to play better, it was surprising for some Oilers fans to see him taking a spot in the press box again. We also looked at the rumour from Darren Dreger that the Oilers could be one of the teams interested in John Klingberg, who is reportedly nearing a return to the NHL.Finally, we wrapped up the Tuesday episode of ONR with a discussion about another tough stretch in the Oilers' schedule that's coming up this week. The Oilers were able to handle the last difficult week of the schedule quite well the last time, but it will be much tougher to beat some of those teams for a second time. Either way, we gave our keys to victory regarding what the Oilers need to do to beat the Wild/Avalanche, and what habits they need to flex to make sure it's doable. Either way, the boys were feeling bullish.SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!

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 recapped home security, Jay's trip to Mexico, and set the terms for the Real Life weight loss challenge. The fellas kicked off the Monday episode of Real Life with a story from Tyler after he woke up convinced that someone was trying to break into his house. After a day of drinking for the Buffalo Bills, a beer league game, and a healthy dose of spidey senses, a potential intruder woke Tyler up in the middle of the night, leading the boys to discuss home safety. Initially, Tyler thought the boys would make fun of his story, but what happened was a discussion about how to deal with intruders.Next up on the schedule, Jay recapped his vacation to Mexico and started with a story about how he slept through an earthquake. Even though a bunch of folks around him felt the incident, Jay slept right through the whole event. Changing gears, Jay then told a story about a bar he went to in Mexico that was Oilers themed. Seeing as it was the spot for Canadians in Mexico to watch hockey, experiencing a couple of games in that setting was a very fun way to experience an Oilers game. Changing gears, the guys got back to the weight loss challenge they started talking about back in December and started the contest with an official weigh in. Jay came in at 230.1 pounds, Chalmers was at 199.8 pounds, and Baggedmilk was at 202.8 pounds, and now the contest will be who can lose 20 pounds the fastest or by the end of the end of the NHL regular season. With $200 on the line from each person, the race is on to get fit. Needless to say, the Monday episode of Real Life was all over the map once again.
