  • Oilers fire Kris Knoblauch ahead of the most important summer in team history
    May 14 2026

    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 Kris Knoblauch firing, what comes next for the Edmonton Oilers, Tyler's mukbang idea, and much more.


    The guys kicked off the Monday episode of Real Life with a conversation about basically anything they could think of that did not involve the Edmonton Oilers. Whether it was Tyler's tiny tummy or Garrick Higgo showing up late to the PGA Championship, to the snack station at Nation HQ, the guys really avoided the big topic of the day for way longer than expected. Needless to say, the guys did a pretty good job of pushing the Oilers convo down the road.


    Finally, the boys spoke about the Oilers pulling the trigger on firing Kris Knoblauch early Thursday morning. Given that the news leaked a couple of days ago, no one was surprised when the axe finally fell, but that didn't stop the world from looking at the sequence of events and dunking on the team. Talking about Knoblauch being fired led to a conversation about the summer and what the Oilers need to do to turn the ship around.


    Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast on the Thursday episode of Real Life with a run of topics, starting with some Family Feud talk, beefs of the week, and another game of 501 where Baggedmilk and Wanye defended their undefeated streak. Even with the big team news that came down today, it's always remarkable to hear the boys avoid topics like absolute professionals.

  • Movie talk, the Oilers off-season, and the Rogers Place naming rights
    May 7 2026

    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 what comes next for the Edmonton Oilers, Evan Bouchard's Norris Trophy snub, the Leafs winning the NHL Draft Lottery, and much more.


    The guys kicked off the Monday episode of Real Life with a conversation about the latest round of drama in the Mike Vrabel and Diana Russini story and how TMZ just released another batch of photos and documents about their affair. Needless to say, the rabbit hole keeps getting deeper by the day, and it's going to be fascinating to see where this story ends up when the dust settles. With the Oilers out of the playoffs, the boys have a bunch more time to think about other things.


    Changing gears, the conversation turned to a bunch of movie talk. The boys really dove into the weeds on what they're watching these days and which movies can lure them back to rewatching, even if they've seen them a bunch of times. Even though the segment was meant to be only a few minutes, the boys ended up talking about movies and TV for much longer than anyone expected. Even though they acknowledged the segment was going on too long, it ended up running a few more minutes anyway.


    Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast on the Thursday episode of Real Life with a run of topics, starting with the name rights for Rogers Place could potentially be wrapping up and whether any new companies would work their way in. Chalmers also shared the story of a WHL prospect who went 9th overall in the draft, and how it was such a cool moment for a young man he's known since childhood.

  • Leafs hire John Chayka, dreaming of Jon Cooper, and the Oilers' coaching situation
    May 4 2026

    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 Oilers' playoff exit, the John Chayka announcement in Toronto, who Edmonton may need as a new head coach, and much more.


    The guys kicked off the Monday episode of Real Life with a conversation about the Toronto Maple Leafs hiring John Chayka as their new general manager, and specifically how Steven Simmons dunked on the team for this decision. As you'll hear in the clip, Simmons did not pull any punches with his questioning, and watching the interaction was pure theatre for fans of any other franchise. Needless to say, the start of the Chayka era kicked off with a bang.


    Changing gears, the conversation turned to the rumour that the ON staff is starting about Jon Cooper being the coach of the Edmonton Oilers. The problem, of course, is that Cooper still has time left on his contract and has not been fired by the Lightning, but that isn't stopping the staff from imagining what this partnership would look like. Sticking with the coaching conversation, the boys also discussed Bruce Cassidy as a very competent Plan B. Given that he also won a Stanley Cup, would it make sense for the Oilers to hire the former Vegas Golden Knight?


    Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast on the Thursday episode of Real Life with a run of topics, starting with what needs to happen with the Oilers to bring more of a playoff effort during the regular season. Would a new coach help with that? How much would it help to bring in other players that can fill proper roles in the lineup? The guys also spoke about concert tickets being out of control, and how tours are being cancelled because of how tickets aren't moving.

  • Looking ahead at Game 6 and what the Oilers need to do to push a Game 7
    Apr 30 2026

    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 Oilers' Game 5 win, what the boys need to do to push Game 7, the special teams problems, and much more.

    The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a conversation about most of the Real Life hosts not being in attendance on what is a massive day for the Edmonton Oilers. With the attendance complaints out of the way, Tyler talked about getting into Game 5 after waiting in Ford Hall until right before puck drop. That also led Tyler to talk about how great the vibes were at Rogers Place on Tuesday and how it felt like the fanbase is finally getting into it.

    Changing gears, the conversation turned to fans who bring their babies to the Moss Pit, and how it seems like a strange choice to bring toddlers out to playoff parties. Given that none of the fellas who started the playoffs have children, it's pretty easy to talk about what parents should and shouldn't do with their kids. Needless to say, the advice may have come from the right place, but the boys were also interested to hear from parents who actually have to deal with these situations.

    Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast on the Thursday episode of Real Life with a run of topics, starting with beer prices in the Moss Pit and the Fan Park. Given that beers are still $18 each, the boys wondered how kids are affording to be in there every night. Changing gears, the guys looked ahead at Game 6, and specifically, what the Oilers need to do to grab a win on the road and force the series to a 7th and deciding game.

    The guys kicked off the Monday episode of Real Life with a conversation about the Oilers sucess in the past while being behind in a series. Although being down 3-1 is difficult to come back from, theres no one better suited for the job than the Edmonton Oilers.


    Moving on, the conversation quickly pivoted to the controversial overtime game winning goal. Was the right call made? Was the ref bitter he never played for the Edmonton Oilers? We may never truly know...


    Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast on the Monday episode of Real Life with a run of topics, starting with where everyone is standing in our current Oilersnation playoff draft standings.

  • Chickengate, Connor McDavid's ankle, and getting fired up for the playoffs
    Apr 23 2026

    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 Oilers' Game 2 loss, Connor McDavid's ankle injury, the series heading to Anaheim, and much more.


    The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a conversation about the guy who threw the chicken/duck onto the ice, and how it was a moronic decision at that point in the game. Not only was it a dumb move to throw the bird on the ice, but to do it at that point of the game when the Oilers were buzzing was every shade of annoying. The guys even tried to think of better times he could have still done the stunt without annoying the entire fanbase.


    Changing gears, the conversation turned to Tyler's beef of the week, which centred around the playoff spirit that hasn't really landed in Edmonton yet. Given that we're two games in and there are very few car flags on vehicles in the city, Tyler called out the fanbase for not getting hyped up for the first round and offered a plea to get more involved to show support. That led to a discussion about what went wrong in Game 2, and what needs to be sorted out ahead of Friday's first game in Anaheim.


    Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast on the Thursday episode of Real Life with a run of topics, starting with what the team needs to do better in Game 3 and beyond. From there, the boys played another round of 501 centred on how many playoff games a guy has played as an Oiler. Finally, Jay aired out a bonus Beef of the Week about Chalmers calling him at the most unfortunate times of day and complaining about never getting calls back.

  • Shotty Millz stops at Nation HQ, Christmas lights, and the Oilers' playoff run
    Apr 16 2026

    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 Oilers' potential playoff matchups, Shotty Millz showing up at Nation HQ, best in-person sports, and much more.


    The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a conversation about Shotty Millz coming down to Nation HQ, and how Tyler didn't seem to find much joy in having the local rapper in the building. As you'll hear, the boys ganged up on Tyler a little bit and questioned his motives for poo-pooing the grind. From there, the boys pivoted to beefs of the week, including Chris Pronger's take on Edmonton, Christmas lights left out year-round, and Alberta's horrible stretch of weather.


    Changing gears, the conversation turned to the Oilers' potential playoff matchups and how wild it is that we won't know what's happening until after Thursday's game against Vancouver. Not only do we not know who the Oilers will play in Round 1, but we also don't know what day they will even be starting. As far as starting another playoff run, it's hard to get excited just yet when there are so many unanswered questions in the air.


    Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast on the Thursday episode of Real Life with a run of topics, starting with Rory McIlroy winning the Masters for the second consecutive year, and which team everyone would prefer Edmonton to face in Round 1. The guys also discussed their final attempt at the bet365 first goal scorer challange, and how Wanye and Chalmers need a Hail Mary to get themselves back in the mix.
