Today Joaquin Gage is stepping in for Dustin Nielson on todays show! The fellas start off by laying out the show.   Joaquin Gage shared his night last night as he's coaching in Craig MacTavish's tournament at West Edmonton Mall. The boys also dove into YTT's living situation, as glue guy is a man of his word and did purchase a AC unit for YouTube Trev.   YTT is also going to his first Riverhawks game tonight with a lady, the boys and nasties had some fun with this throughout the hour.   Near the end of the first hour, the gents ‘Cracked Some Packs' powered by Wayne's!   To finish the hour, the boys touched on some Elks talk, in particular the coaching change that just happened this past week.

It's Monday afternoon, and that means it's time for a fresh episode of the Real Life podcast to make sense of the world around us. Kicking off the podcast, the guys started the show with a collection of random topics, including Sidney Crosby's career earnings, what the Oilers may do at the trade deadline, and some hip hop talk. Why is that how the podcast started? It's a fair question, but also completely expected, given the way this show goes. Changing gears, Tyler told the story about interviewing Chris Pronger this morning at West Edmonton Mall. Despite Wanye's complaints about the way Pronger's tenure in Edmonton ended, Tyler explained how cool it was to interview an NHL Hall of Famer and ask a few questions about the 2006 Cup run. Lastly, the guys wrapped up the first show of the week with more random topics, including which WEM entrance we park at and why Tyler should never cross Wanye for any reason. Despite having topics prepped for this week's show, this one was one of those podcasts where the guys got to none of them at all. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Thursday afternoon means it's time for a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast, the show where the guys probably should talk about the Edmonton Oilers but probably won't get there in the end.Kicking off the Thursday episode of Real Life, the guys got started with a conversation about producer Pat Puff after he came through with a big save yesterday during Oilersnation Everyday when the Internet went down mid-show. Seeing that there was a problem, Pat jumped to attention and saved the day by joining the broadcast to keep things going while Frank Seravalli was talking about the trade deadline. With the praising of Pat out of the way, the conversation turned to Wanye's trip to Moose Jaw from last weekend. Even though that trip had nothing to do with anything, the guys still spent 20 minutes talking about it anyway. After discussing everything from Mac the Moose to the Al Capone tunnels, the conversation somehow turned to West Edmonton Mall and how much Bourbon Street has changed over the last two decades. Finally getting to the Oilers, the guys looked at last night's win over the St. Louis Blues and how that game was both thrilling and frustrating at the same time. Yet, before they spent even 30 seconds talking about the game, the conversation turned to literally anything other than hockey, which is what you probably expected from the Real Life podcast.

We bring on Top 40 Under 40 CRO of Free Play for Kids Sonny Sekhon on the podcast to discuss different ways of giving back, challenges of parenthood and much more. Sonny Sekhon had what he thought was the perfect job. For over a decade, he was the general manager of Edmonton's flagship Henry Singer store, helping to clothe what he calls some of the “superstars” of Edmonton. But, when his son, Banner, was born, he thought about what the job meant to him. And it led to what he calls one of the hardest conversations he's ever had, with Fred and Jordan Singer. He decided to leave his post. “I've had the benefit of helping superstar people,” says Sekhon. “And one thing they would always say is that they wished they had spent more time, in the early days, with their little ones. You make an extra deal, you make five extra grand, 20 years later, what's that really worth when your kids are grown?” Sekhon has been a long-time volunteer, and now board member, with the famous Brick Invitational Hockey Tournament, held annually at West Edmonton Mall. With an extensive file of contacts from his time as a clothier, he moved into a revenue-generating role with Free Play for Kids, a program that offers after-school childcare through free sports programming to families in need. During the school year, coaches and mentors travel to 24 different schools to introduce kids to a variety of sports. After a major shortfall last December cut Free Play for Kids' budget in half, he was able to raise $100,000 in new funds, mainly from auto dealers. He's helped bring in $600,000 in annual funding from the Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation, and deepened the organization's relationship with the Oilers, most notably with Free Play Ambassador Darnell Nurse. “In some cases, families have left war-torn Syria or Afghanistan with nothing. We see the emotion and the joy with the parents, because their kids are safely able to kick a ball around. I don't know if I'd ever be in a position to financially write a cheque to make a difference. For me, putting my sweat equity into it and making partnerships that continue to grow, to give those opportunities to kids, to change sport, it's awesome.” This episode is brought to you by Q Filmz Media - We propel businesses into the digital media space.

Vivek Shraya wants to talk about failure. She has a new TV series on CBC called “How to Fail as a Popstar”. Vivek says that failure is what keeps her up at night. Why didn't she become the next Madonna? Did people think she was too brown? Too queer? Or maybe she was too held down by people's expectations? Vivek embraces the failure, and argues we need to stop focusing on resilience and allow for disappointment. Meanwhile, Vivek is an associate professor, a filmmaker, the author of several books, a musician, and a huge success. She's also written, produced and starred in this new series. Vivek talks to us about what it's like to cast herself, starting out as a nerdy little brown boy singing at the West Edmonton Mall, to the transgendered woman she is now with a big story to tell.

The off-season has only just begun and the boys were looking for things to talk about, which meant another random episode of the Real Life podcast to help you wrap up your week.To kick off the Monday episode of Real Life, the guys got started with a quick recap of the World Championships after Canada picked up a gold medal over Germany in yesterday's tournament finals. When Baggedmilk confessed that he didn't know the tourney was wrapping up until he saw it playing at Muggnz, leading the guys to argue about breakfast for the next 10 minutes. Changing gears, Tyler told a story about going to see his first ever comedy show this past weekend, leading the guys to talk about varying reasons they'd like to get drunk at West Edmonton Mall. Somehow the conversation about WEM led the guys to complain about Slurpees again since their go-to spot didn't have any of their machines working properly. Lastly, the guys wrapped up the podcast with a hockey clip game after Electronic Jordan submitted a 19-second clip of an Oilers game from 2014 that both Tyler and Chalmers had to figure out based on nothing but the short video. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The people asked for it and we delivered! Lars is back on the podcast for his third time and its a juicy one! Lars was the first comedian I ever had on the podcast all those years ago and it was so fascinating having these conversations before and after trying stand up.  The first two conversations were between a real comedian and just a diehard comedy fan and they were great.  This episode is pretty much the same but I'm one step closer to being a real bonafide stand up comedian and I think thats pretty damn cool. This conversation is pretty nerdy about comedy but its full of passion and wisdom so even if you hate comedy you will enjoy it I promise! Check out  Lars on social media @extralars and on his website www.extralars.com and most importantly go see him do stand up all across the country!You can also see me tonight Feb 15th at Rick Bronson's Comic Strip in West Edmonton Mall! @comicstripwem

In this week's trainwreck of an episode, Timmy is back, and some topics are very loosely discussed. Heavy emphasis on the "loosely." The hosts can't stay on topic for more than a few minutes for this episode, so the conversation derails very quickly and frequently. The second half of the show leads to talking about Timmy's California visit, at least for a short while. This episode is very chaotic, so make sure to buckle up and enjoy this week's show!

Megan Whitmer is a married mom of 5 kids. Megan recently published a book called, Mom Life vs the Everyday Apocalypse. On our podcast this week, we talked with Megan a bit about her book. When I was reading her book, one of my favorite chapters was called “My Favorite Hallway.” Megan explained to us that there was a hallway in her last house that would cast a layer of shadows as she walked by. The inner most shadow made her think about who she really was in the inside with out the layers of motherhood and expectations from herself and others. She says:“Sometimes the ideal is not what society tells us, but who we have become as a person, as a soul, as a spirit.”She went on to explain that she is allergic to most make up. She had to go off make up for a year. It was really hard for her when she would get comments of concern, “are you sick?” She says:“I'm trying not to care how I look and remember I'm a child of God. Make up does not define me. But I still breakdown sometimes. It's an up and down struggle. The ideal is not what society tells us, but who we have become as a person, a soul, a spirit. As women trying to make ourselves beautiful to fit the mold, we go through crazy things until we understand about ourselves. Make up is not bad, but there are other things we do that can damage us. It can change our spirit. It is interesting to really look at ourselves and what we do to ourselves. Should we do those things?”When finding the humor in mom life, Megan looks to a few things to help her look on the bright side:It could be worse! She plays a game with herself thinking of all the horrible ways the situation could be more awful than it is. For example, if you get an unexpected bill in the mail, maybe you think, “at least my family isn't infected with tape worms.” Another example, if someone cuts her off on the freeway, she imagines the person has their wife laboring in the back of the car with triplets and they need to rush to the hospital.Gratitude: find things you are grateful for and focus on the positiveLook back to your ancestors. What hard things have they conquered or gone through? Looking at our family in this way can show us that we are resilient! We can get through tough times.We love to ask our guests 3 Helpful and Happy Questions on our podcast to get to know our guests a bit better. Our first question was about Megan's favorite food. She said she loves popovers! We talked about how similar those are to German Pancakes, which we have a delicious recipe for on our blog!German Pancake MuffinsWe also talked a little bit about travel. One of her favorite vacations is going back home to Canada to visit her family there and visit the biggest mall in the world: West Edmonton Mall in Alberta.Lastly we asked if she had any home hacks, and she told us one of her favorite ones was to chop up and freeze onions and peppers for future use. These can be useful in so many recipes! Here are a few of our favorite ways to use frozen onions and peppers:Sheet Pan FajitasVegan Veggie Stir FryOur Favorite Chicken Apple Sausage Sheet Pan DinnerWhere can we find more from Megan Whitmer:Website: www.meganwhitmerbooks.comInstagram: Megan Whitmer Books (@meganwhitmerbooks) • Instagram photos and videosTik Tok: MeganWhitmerBooks (@meganwhitmerbooks) TikTok | Watch MeganWhitmerBooks's Newest TikTok VideosGrab Megan's Book HERE!

In this 2nd Floor throwback episode, Kenny talks with Eveline Charles; she is a Canadian hairdresser and businesswoman in the beauty salon and day spa industry. Eveline Charles enrolled in Beauty School immediately after high school in 1973. She began cutting hair professionally in 1974, and ten years later opened her first salon, 'Bianco Nero' in Edmonton. During the 1980s and early 90s, Charles established Bianco Nero as a premier Edmonton beauty salon. At the forefront of the day spa movement, in 1995 Charles expanded the location to include a full service day spa. A second Bianco Nero salon and spa was opened in West Edmonton Mall in 1998, and it was during this period that Charles stepped out from behind the salon chair to focus entirely on developing the business.

In part two we discuss post-war coaster accidents. The catastrophic Battersea Big Dipper Rollercoaster crash in 1972 London that took the lives of five children. In 1986 West Edmonton Mall featured an awesome indoor coaster, called the Mind Bender, which derailed, killing three young adults and forever scarring a fourth. And we look at the incidents involving the Treetop Twister at Lightwater Valley amusement park, which killed one young adult and seriously injured a child before closing.

Nicole brought to our attention an article about American Dream Miami [http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5862329/USs-biggest-mall-gets-ahead-Florida.html], soon to be the biggest mall in America, but not exactly our dream of the perfect mall. We'd skip the amusement park rides and ice-climbing wall and focus on things like roaming nail technicians, golf carts, and the ability to shop in peace. (Mentioned: Mall of America [https://mallofamerica.com/], West Edmonton Mall [http://www.wem.ca/], and American Dream Meadowlands [https://www.nj.com/bergen/index.ssf/2018/05/american_dream_megamall_opening_next_year.html], coming soon to Terri's neighborhood, yikes.)

This is one of the best solo pods I have done to date.  it is an emotional roller coaster full of ups and downs and lessons learned but I feel so much better have it all off of my chest. Come hear what has happened in my life this last week including some more heart wrenching break up stuff and all of the hard lessons that have come along with it. As well as the first part of the move from Grande Prairie, all the shit I didn't know i had as well as getting my first stripe on my white belt and how much it meant to me. I chatted about my first week in Edmonton, dipping my toes back into the water at work, and how nice it is to be around family and how thankful i am to have such an amazing support system. Lastly I break down the action packed weekend full of comedy shows the oilers game, UFC and a wild night out with my Slave Lake people at West Edmonton Mall. This episode has an embarrassing amount of tears/minute but I couldn't be more proud of it and feel infinitely better afterwards.
