  • Oilers are on the ropes, but they're not out
    Apr 24 2025

    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 Last of Us, Wednesday's Game 2 loss, where the Edmonton Oilers go from here, and much more.


    The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a conversation about anything other than the Edmonton Oilers. Instead, Chalmers ranted about The Last of Us after Wednesday's episode dropped a bombshell on viewers that our man did not see coming. Given that no one else on the podcast watches the show, the conversation didn't last more than a few seconds. If you're a fan of the show, however, you probably know what Chalmers was talking about.


    Changing gears, the boys got a second rant from Chalmers about the state of the Oilers. After dropping Game 2 more disappointingly than the first game, it was incredibly frustrating to watch a veteran team like this battle the details of their game as much as they are. Whether you're concerned with the goaltending, the defensive coverage, the lack of offence, or all of the above, there's little doubt that there are countless issues the Oilers need to sort out if they have any hope of getting back in the series.


    On a positive note, Tyler offered a few reasons why Oilers fans should be hopeful. As good as the Kings are at Crypto.com Arena, they are equally bad as the away team, which could give Edmonton an avenue to chip away at the deficit. As much as hoping for the best is part of the Oilersnation brand — Hope Will Never Die after all — it can be a battle when the team looks as down as they are right now, but the mission for Friday is to bring the good vibes anyway.

  • Wanye's toilet problems, Tyler's wooden shoes, and the Oilers' playoff run
    Apr 17 2025

    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 Tyler's childhood footwear, Wanye's broken toilet, and previewed the Oilers vs. Kings series which is set to kick off on Monday.


    The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a conversation about the Mega Stream that Tyler and Liam will be doing on Monday in anticipation of Game 1 against the Kings. As you'll hear, the boys have some fun stuff planned to fill up an eight-hour stream, and you'll want to subscribe to the Oilersnation YouTube page to ensure you're involved in the hijinks.


    Changing gears, Chalmers discussed his driving fear of going underneath overpasses with trains on them. Although there has never been a situation involving a train accident of any kind, he still feels anxious anytime he drives under a train. That story led Tyler to talk about his hatred of stairs and how he wore clogs with bells on them as a kid. Despite his story not making sense, the boys had a healthy chuckle to hear about the oddness of his childhood footwear.


    Next up on the docket was a story about Chalmers running over to Wanye's house this morning to fix his running toilet. If you remember, Chalmers had a situation in one of his rentals where a running toilet resulted in a $3800 water bill, so the trauma from that story still lives rent-free in his mind. As you'll hear, Wanye Manor is as much a place to hold inventory for his projects as it is a place for him to live, in addition to having a broken toilet that is basically unfixable.


    Finally, the boys wrapped up the Thursday episode of Real Life with a discussion about the Oilers' playoff run that will kick off Monday. Starting with the schedule, the guys wondered what would have to happen in the world for the Oilers to play earlier than 8PM so that the rest of the league can watch what is turning out to be the best rivalry in hockey.

  • Rory McIlroy's grand slam, injury-riddled Oilers, and the NHL playoff picture
    Apr 14 2025

    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 Masters final day, the Oilers' playoff run, and much more.


    The guys kicked off the Monday episode of Real Life with an array of random topics, including everyone's anticipation of the Oilers' playoff run and Rory McIlroy's Masters win from Sunday. Starting with the golf, the guys spoke about how awesome it was to see Rory get the grand slam after over a decade of trying to win that fourth major. Seeing as there was plenty of history about blown opportunities for Rory, watching him overcome that adversity was fantastic in every possible way.


    This past weekend was an incredible sports weekend, and it was a lot of fun to watch the Oilers handle their business despite being shorthanded only moments after one of the most exciting Masters finishes ever. To assess the Oilers' situation, the guys started by discussing Mattias Ekholm's season-ending injury and how that is a massive blow to Edmonton's playoff aspirations. No matter how you slice it, that is an enormous loss for an Edmonton team that has been questionable defensively all season.

    Sticking with the NHL, the guys discussed some of the playoff races that are still happening, with only a few games left in the schedule, including Calgary's path to the playoffs if they keep winning. As you'll hear, there are plenty of storylines to follow during this last week of the regular season, and it will be fascinating to see how everything shakes out. The only problem with the conversation is that there was a lot of math involved, so you'll want to sharpen your pencil and bring your calculators.
