  • The Boys Had A Weekend & Eli Completed The 9/9/9 Challenge
    Jul 7 2025

    The boys kicked off their week with a jam packed episode of The Real Life Podcast as they sat down to talk about a wide range of topics, starting with the busy weekend that Jay, Chalmers and Tyler had. The trio spent all day together on Saturday golfing and putting back cold ones and it resulted in some great stories and the three of them still feeling the effects almost 48 hours later.


    That led to some more talk about Tyler’s hole in one challenge and the likelihood of him accomplishing the feat. They then brought in Eli who accomplished a big feat of his own this past week. He successfully completed the 9 beers and 9 hot dogs in 9 innings challenge at a Riverhawks game and lived to tell the tale. He talked about how much of a grind it was and how he felt in the hours afterwards.


    From there, Chalmers told the story about his week with his new found family from overseas. The guys also put together their list of the top ten things to do in the city of Edmonton, and put out a call for some suggestions.


    They wrapped up with a little bit of talk about the red hot Toronto Blue Jays, who have won eight games in a row. They have Tyler feeling a certain type of way and Chalmers asked some introductory questions as he looks get back on the baseball bandwagon.

  • Welcome Andrew Mangiapane & Raising A Prodigy Athlete
    Jul 3 2025

    Today’s podcast was all Tyler and Wanye. The duo sat down for the Thursday episode of the pod and talked about everything from the Oilers new free agent addition Andrew Mangiapane, the departures of Corey Perry and Connor Brown, and what it would be like having to raise a prodigy athlete.


    They also talked about the hockey content season coming to a close and all the podcasts and videos that the Nation Network crew put out over the year. They also talked about the origins of the Real Life Podcast and how wild it is that this current crew has been together for almost six years!


    They then talked about the Brick tournament and that led them to a discussion about raising a prodigy athlete and which sports would be the easiest or most difficult to manage. They wrapped up with some talk about the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating contest, some big headlines in the sporting world, and the Edmonton Elks.

  • The Tyler and Baggedmilk Show
    Jun 30 2025

    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.
