Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded and edited, and it's ready to help you wrap up the week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed the insane Edmonton weather we're having, Tyler's vacation plans, old Nation Gear designs, and much more.

The guys kicked off this week's episode of Real Life with a run of topics that were not at all planned and completely random. Given that there is next to no Oilers news happening right now, the boys had the opportunity to wander into whatever topic they chose whether it was a good idea or not. From Tony Romo's legal situation to taking Ubers home from the bar to bossing robots around, the first segment of the podcast was all over the map and made no sense whatsoever.

Changing gears, Tyler walked the boys through his upcoming holiday plans and how he's still not sure whether he'll be able to take his electric hummer on his road trip. Given that superchargers aren't overly plentiful in Alberta yet, the choice of taking his Hummer on the road is almost being stripped from him. That said, these are champagne problems to say the least. Will Tyler get sympathy from the audience? Unlikely.

Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast on the Thursday episode of Real Life with a run of topics, starting with a recap of old Nation Gear designs that Rick brought into the office from the archives, and how there have been some horrible designs. From there, the guys looked back in Oilers history and had a conversation about how bad some of the old Decade of Darkness seasons where despite ON being around the whole time.

Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded and edited, and it's ready to help you wrap up the week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed the ongoing troubles of running a business in downtown Edmonton, recent hospitality closures, Oilers all time penalty leaders, and much more.

The guys kicked off this week's episode of Real Life with a conversation about the recent influx in downtown business closures. As a business owner himself Jay shared some of his insight on the problems currently affecting the hospitality industry in the heart of Downtown Edmonton. This conversation eventually led the boys on a trip down memory lane reminiscing about old bars they used to frequent but are sadly no longer around. Do the "kids" still like to go out and meet people? Eli shared his perspective on night-life in Edmonton as a young adult.

Everyone's favourite Oilers 501 game made a return this afternoon! With the absence of Bagged Milk on this week's podcast the boys challenged each other to a 1v1v1 head to head matchup. Who's the smartest Oilers fan?

Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded and edited, and it's ready to help you wrap up the week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed Tyler's Ace Race, behind the scenes from the day, some Oilers talk, and much more.

The guys kicked off this week's episode of Real Life with a conversation about the Ace Race, and how frustrated Tyler is that he wasn't able to get the job done for the second year in a row. While there was some close calls throughout the day, the fact that he didn't get a lucky bounce of any kind was every shade of annoying. The guys also discussed some of the behind the scenes stories that didn't come out on the stream.

Sticking with the Ace Race, the guys discussed what they thought of the day and what a third attempt might look like next summer if Tyler even agrees to do it. That led to the guys workshopping some ideas on how they could make the event more interesting, or even what other streams they could do with the staff at Nation HQ. Whether it's locking someone in the office or thinking of something else entirely, the reality is that having more Megastreams is definitely something that the boys want to do. Finally, how could they discuss the Ace Race without mentioning... the crow incident.

Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast on the Thursday episode of Real Life with a run of topics, starting with the Battle of the Donairs, Wanye's Oilers influencer story, and how this player has pivoted from being a pro athlete into a content creator... or did he? The guys also discussed Tyler's new found itch to travel beyond his rule of nothing more than a six-hour flight.

This episode of Real Life starts as the Tyler and Chalmers Show before Wanye finally makes his entrance, leading to another episode full of random conversations, laughs, and plenty of Edmonton sports talk.

The guys kick things off by looking ahead to the upcoming ON Golf Tournament, chatting about the Ace Race, Nation Golf merchandise, and the auction featuring Ryder and Lisa.

From there, the conversation shifts to one of the biggest topics facing every industry today: artificial intelligence. The crew debates how AI is changing the workplace, which careers could be affected in the coming years, and whether the technology will ultimately make life easier or create even bigger challenges.

The discussion then takes a lighter turn with homemade mosquito remedies, trying to figure out which DIY tricks actually work during Alberta's mosquito season. They also debate the pros and cons of read receipts, catch up on the Edmonton Elks after another impressive performance, and hear Tyler's latest plans for his future hot tub—including why a proper "wet test" might be necessary before buying one.

To wrap things up, the guys fly through a rapid-fire round of topics, including Leo Carlsson's contract situation with the Anaheim Ducks, Tom Dundon's Stanley Cup engraving decision, Kawhi Leonard and LeBron James, FIFA controversy, and a final bet365 pick to close out the episode.

As always, expect plenty of laughs, off-the-rails conversations, and the kind of random discussions that make Real Life a must-listen every week.

Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded and edited, and it's ready to help you wrap up the week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed Tyler heading to Toronto for NHL Free Agency, the Darnell Nurse trade, the Oilers' goaltending trio, and much more.

The guys kicked off this week's episode of Real Life with a conversation about the video version of the podcast, and how Wanye just learned that the full podcast hasn't been uploaded to YouTube in over a year. That led to a discussion about TNN's approach to loading videos to the platform, and how much we've learned by trial and error over the last handful of years. While the conversation may have been incredibly nerdy, it's always fun to give people a peek behind the curtain.

Shifting gears, the boys got started on a free agency recap about how the Oilers did on day one of the NHL's annual shopping spree, but that was quickly derailed by conversations about literally anything else. Whether it was Kawhi Leonard going back to Toronto, the theories surrounding his return, and whether the NBA has a bigger problem on its hands. The guys also spent some time talking about Vinny Desharnais' massive deal in Washington, and how it's wild that he locked in a bigger contract than Connor Murphy.

Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast on the Thursday episode of Real Life with a run of topics, starting with a breakdown of the Oilers' revamped goaltending, the Darnell Nurse trade, and how Stan Bowman did some amazing work that was completely unexpected. After a huge day for the team, it was fun to have a discussion about the Oilers doing amazing work instead of leaving people scratching their heads.

Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded and edited, and it's ready to help you wrap up the week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed the Mike Babcock press conference, the rain in Edmonton, the NBA Draft, and much more.

The guys kicked off this week's episode of Real Life with a conversation about LEGO. Why? Because the boys did absolutely no prep before the show and it was literally the first thing that came to mind. Yet, talking about Tyler doing LEGO sets opened up a conversation about reclaiming attention, and doing what you can to have more moments without your phone glued to your hand. Needless to say, the start of today's podcast was as scattered as ever.

Shifting gears, the boys discussed the video Chalmers posted on his Instagram of him falling on his ass. Everyone knows how much rain there's been in Edmonton over the last few days, but seeing a video of Chalmers wiping out was a nice little dose of sunshine. Sticking with the rain, Chalmers continued on with a story about one of his rental properties flooding because it's amazing how often things go wrong when unexpected weather happens.

Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast on the Thursday episode of Real Life with a run of topics, starting with the Mike Babcock press conference, and how his answers to questions were as weird as they were avoidant. Either way, the team has made its decision, and we're starting off the Mike Babcock era no matter what anyone things. From there, the boys discussed some of the massive NHL trades that have happened this week, which somehow led to Chalmers sharing an interesting observation from the NBA draft.

Over the weekend Chalmers took his kids to the Bailey Zimmerman and everyone loved it. but this conversation was quickly derailed when Chalmers quarrels with the Edmonton Oilers came to light. Has the Oilers organization screwed up everything this offseason? Is the Mike Babcock hiring a sign of the end times? Only time will tell...

Wrapping up the podcast, Chalmers put his storytelling cap on and took us on a journey of his golf confrontation over the weekend. Words were said, fingers were pointed, and most importantly lessons were learned.
