  • Jay and Baggedmilk are back from Toronto, Tyler's bachelor party debate, and a hole in 1 challenge
    Jun 26 2025

    Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you get through what's left of your workweek. On today's podcast, the guys discussed getting struck by lightning, Jay and Baggedmilk's trip to Toronto, Tyler's bachelor party, and more.


    The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life by discussing theories about getting struck by lightning. While certainly improbable, the boys offered Tyler a few different scenarios about what it would take from him to accept a lightning strike. Talking golf then led to a discussion about equipment costs in sports, and how much a person can spend on marginal upgrades in their game.


    From there, Jay and Baggedmilk recapped their trip to Toronto, describing it as an eventful one, complete with meetings, hard work, and a pair of sweeping power outages. From some fun meetings with the crew at La Poche Bleue to hearing NHL stories from Max Lapierre to sweating through multiple shirts on a daily basis, it was a quick trip to Toronto that was as eventful as it was sweaty. Needless to say, it was 48 eventful hours on the road for the boys.


    Finally, the podcast wrapped with a story of Jay finally getting his wish of missing out on Tyler's bachelor party after Little Brick's 10th anniversary events got in the way. As you'll hear, the conversation is about whether Jay should still go for a shortened weekend or if he should give up his spot to Tyler's dad. In the end, Jay's media responsibilities ended up getting in the way, and the result is that Ross has been given the green light to replace him.

  • It's The Tyler & Chalmers Show!
    Jun 23 2025

    It was all Chalmers and Tyler hour today on The Real Life Podcast as the rest of the podcast crew was off doing stuff in their real lives. The guys actually got to do a lot of interesting stuff in their hour together, beginning with a weird meeting that the two of them had in the street over the weekend. That also got them onto the topic of Tyler’s new rollerblading habit.


    They did then get into some good hockey talk as Chalmers wanted to give his thoughts on the Florida Panthers Stanley Cup celebration and whether or not they’ve crossed the line with some of the things that have been said at their parties. Tyler talked about how this type of behaviour could have been expected from a team winning their first Stanley Cup. They also talked about the nauseating rumours that continue to float around regarding Connor McDavid’s future in Edmonton.


    They wrapped up by going to some other spots in the sports world, like Game 7 of the NBA Finals, and ranked the “championship moments” in each of the four major North American sports leagues. Chalmers also had some golf takes which led to Tyler telling a heartbreaking story about his round from the weekend. They wrapped with a personal tale from Chalmers that involves long lost family making their first trip to Canada.

  • The first offseason episode, Connor McDavid's contract, and a classic roster argument
    Jun 19 2025

    Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you kick off the rest of your workweek. On today's podcast, the guys discussed the Oilers' loss to Florida, Connor McDavid's extension comments, and more.


    The guys started the Thursday episode of Real Life with a discussion about what went wrong with the Oilers in the Stanley Cup Final, and how it wasn't nearly as close this year as it was the previous year. As much as it's painful to admit, the Panthers were the better team throughout the series, and it wasn't exactly surprising to see Florida lock down a second straight Cup win. They also discussed the Connor McDavid press conference, and how there are so many people overthinking his comments that he wants to do what's best for his family.


    Changing gears, Wanye wanted to know if travelling back to Florida for the second straight SCF gave the boys some appreciation for the travel schedule pro athletes have to deal with. While there's no doubt that travelling on a private jet is not the same as slogging through commercial flights, the reality is that the late nights and being away from home cannot be easy. Either way, there's no doubt that flying across the continent is a slog regardless of how you get there.


    Finally, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of Real Life with some beef between Tyler and Jay after the latter blamed the Cup loss on Evan Bouchard and Stuart Skinner. As you'll hear, the boys got spicy about two key players and whether or not they should be part of the solution going forward. As always, the boys were passionate about the roster and what needs to change for the team to get over the hump finally.

  • Cowboy Chris loses his Hat and the Oilers lose game 5
    Jun 16 2025

    Monday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you kick off the rest of your workweek. On today's podcast, the guys discussed their travels in Florida, What the Oilers need to do to drag the Panthers back home, a tragic tale of Cowboy Chris and his cherished cowboy hat, and so much more.


    The guys started the Monday episode of Real Life mourning the loss of Chalmers cowboy hat. The hat has now paved its own path in life and perhaps will find its way to a new oilers fan who will give it a lovely new home. RIP.


    Moving along, the boys discussed their 5 day adventure in Florida. We're still unsure if they did more swimming in the pool or actual work. However, The trip was great and the Oilers managed to come through in game 4 and even up the series 2-2.


    Back in Edmonton for game 5 and we watched a result that we were definitely not looking for. If there's one thing we have learned from watching the Oilers over the past 2 cup runs is that they love a dramatic finish, which is exactly why the boys are confident in the teams ability to drag the panthers back to our city for game 7.


    Finally the boys wrapped up the podcast with some very tough hypotheticals and an inspiring pep talk from Chalmers. it's time to DIG IN.

  • Talking Oilers' return to the Stanley Cup Final with Ryder from Play 107
    Jun 2 2025

    Monday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you kick off the rest of your workweek. On today's podcast, the guys discussed the Oilers' return to the Stanley Cup Final, Ryder's career in radio, their upcoming trip to Florida, and more.


    The guys kicked off the Monday episode of the Real Life podcast by welcoming Ryder from Play 107 to the show to help everyone get set for the Stanley Cup Final. Starting with a quick run through of Ryder's history in the city, and how it's been a remarkable journey for him to establish himself as a morning show host.


    Getting back to the Oilers, the guys started with a picture Wanye found of Tyler from Game 4 against the Stars, and how Yaremchuk lept skyward after Corey Perry scored to give the Oilers a 2-1 lead. They also touched on Liam's donair review after catching on Game 4, and how it was on one of the worst donairs he's ever had, but still ranks it as one of his favourites given the moment.


    Next up, we walked through what everyone is expecting from the Stanley Cup Final and how everyone is feeling bullish about the SCF rematch, despite the boys being up against a strong Florida Panthers opponent. That led Jay to recap his trip to London, where Oilers signs were everywhere, prompting him to bet on the Oilers' moneyline based on the signs the Universe was providing him.


    Finally, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a conversation about everyone's game day routine. Much like you've heard from Chalmers over the years, Ryder confessed that coaching his daughter's softball team is really getting in the way of his love for Oilers playoff hockey. For those fans with children, it's a battle everyone knows well, but it's definitely a common issue during the playoffs.


    (Apologies for audio issues with Bagged Milk's microphone at certain parts of the episode!)

  • Oilers have the chance to close out the Stars in Game 5
    May 29 2025

    Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you through the rest of your workweek. On today's podcast, the guys discussed Game 5 against the Stars, superfan costumes, and much more.


    The guys kicked off the website with a conversation about Game 5 against the Dallas Stars, and how everyone is feeling about the Oilers having another chance to close out the Western Conference Final. As much as everyone is excited about the Oilers' chances to get through to the final, no one is willing to disrespect the Stars, nor believe Dallas is going to be an easy out. As Leon Draisaitl after Game 4, closing this team out will take the team's best effort.


    Changing gears, we looked at the Oilers' superfans who constantly hit the streets during the playoffs, and how much fun it is to see everyone dress up and get involved. From Banjo Guy's incredible costumes to Mama Stanley always being in the Moss Pit to McMullet driving in from Strathmore for every home game, the commitment from the fanbase to get involved and improve the atmosphere is unparalleled. Needless to say, there is no fan base that does it like Oilers fans.


    Looking ahead to Thursday's game against Dallas, the guys discussed Mattias Ekholm's return to the lineup in favour of Troy Stecher and how that will alter the lineup's look, even though he hasn't played in months. They also discussed Jeff Skinner's return to the lineup for the first time since Game 1 against Los Angeles, and what he needs to do to stick for more than just a game or two.

  • Talking Oilers Game 3 win with Justin from Jacksonville
    May 26 2025

    Monday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you kick off the rest of your workweek. On today's podcast, the guys welcomed Justin from Jacksonville to talk about his first trip to Edmonton, the Oilers' wins in Games 2 & 3, what the boys need to do in Game 4, and much more.

    The guys started the Monday episode of Real Life by welcoming Justin from Jacksonville to the podcast and discussing how a guy from Florida became an Oilers fan despite two teams being in his backyard. Starting in the 2018-19 season, Justin wanted to commit to an NHL team but didn't want to jump on a bandwagon, so he landed on the Oilers after working through some internal metrics that made sense.


    Diving into his first trip to Edmonton, Justin talked about how he ended up in the city earlier than expected because Jay promised him a ticket for Game 3 if he could get in on time. After changing his flights to get in a night early, Justin soaked up as much of Edmonton as he could with only a handful of hours before his first experience at Rogers Place. Getting into the game itself, Justin talked about how incredible the experience was to be at Rogers Place during the playoffs after watching it on TV for so many years.


    Looking at the game itself, the boys discussed the Oilers' unbelievable Game 3 result and how it was actually the Stars' best game of the series despite losing by five goals. Starting with Stuart Skinner's brilliance between the pipes, the goalie gave the Oilers a chance to win despite being shelled through most of the second period. From a Stars perspective, how can they not be gripping the stick right now with the way they're being stonewalled at every turn.


    Finally, Justin wrapped up his time on the podcast by giving the boys some gifts that he carried with him all the way from Jacksonville. From a collection of Floridian beers to some spirits from a local distillery to a corduroy hat that Jay has been wanting, the generosity was overwhelming and certainly appreciated.
