Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you wrap up the week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed the Oilers' beatdown by Colorado, Jay and Baggedmilk's trip out east, and much more.

The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a look at the last handful of days in the world of sports. Starting with the 9-1 beatdown from last Saturday, Tyler wanted to talk about the ticket shenanigans Jay dumped on him, which had Tyler negotiating with other fans to move seats so the group could sit together. Jay and Baggedmilk also told a few stories from their trip to Toronto and Montreal, including flight delays, lounge life, and a trip to the Habs game at the Bell Centre.

Changing gears, the guys discussed the Oilers' goaltending situation. Given that the rumours about needing a new goalie won't go anywhere, the boys wanted to look at some of the names the team might be interested in. Spoiler: The tight cap situation makes any of the fun names seem improbable until the summer. Needless to say, if the Oilers do get a new goalie at some point in the 2025-26 season, it likely won't be one of the sexy names everyone is hoping for.

Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast with the Thursday episode of Real Life, featuring a random collection of topics, including a look at Jay's tendency to talk in his sleep, Tyler's new favourite TikTok account, old jersey picks to wear to the game, and whatever else want on the boys' minds. As always, the Thursday episode was all over the map, which is precisely what you'd expect from the Real Life podcast.

Tyler, Chalmers and Wanye sat down for a new edition of The Real Life Podcast as they looked back on the last seven days both in their lives and the world of sports. They began by talking about their Halloween weekend, which then led into some talk about the Toronto Blue Jays. It was a great run that sadly ended with a pair of painful losses.

There was some Oilers talk today on the podcast as they gave some takes on the team’s lacklustre play, and compared the vibes of a cinderella team like the Blue Jays to a perennial contender like the Oilers.

Are there legitimate reasons to be concerned about the long-term health of this Oilers team? Or is this just their usual early season malaise?

They then talked about the level of shadiness that goes on in professional sports. Wanye thinks that there’s a chance that things are shaped by the higher ups but both Tyler and Chalmers pushed back against that.

They then gave their beefs of the week which included a rant from Tyler about traffic and societal responsibilites. There is a left-hand turn problem in our city and he’s had enough. Chalmers has also had enough of people who are lining up at convenience stores with all of their lottery tickets.

Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you wrap up the week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed the Toronto Blue Jays being a win away from the World Series, the Nation Vacation to Vancouver, beefs of the week, Halloween candy, and much more.

The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a look at the Toronto Blue Jays' chances at closing out the World Series on Friday night at the Rogers Centre. Given that the Jays are only one game away from clinching their third World Series title, it's hard not to get completely wrapped up in this run. Even if you're not a hardcore Blue Jays fan who watches every game in the regular season, the hype is taking over the country in a very real way.

Changing gears, the guys dove a little bit into the Nation Vacation, and started with the rally popcorn Baggedmilk bought at the Oilers game in Vancouver. While the rally popcorn was trying to do its thing, Jay noted that Tyler had the job completed before Edmonton actually completed the comeback. From there, Tyler and BM spent the next few minutes thanking the amazing Nation Citizens who joined us on this trip out west.

Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast with Thursday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics, including a look at the NFL schedule having some horrible prime time matchups, Halloween candy tactics during the World Series, and how shrinkflation is ruining everyone's ability to eat appropriate amounts of candy. Talking about candy led to the guys workshopping some ideas for Chalmers' Halloween party that some folks on the show weren't invited to.

Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you wrap up the week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed the World Series, cruise ships, Oilers vs. Habs, and much more.

The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a look ahead at the World Series after Tyler walked into the studio wearing his new hoodie to commemorate the occasion. Not only did everyone want to hear about his experience for Game 7, but they also wanted to know what it was like to sit in a stadium that was going absolutely bananas. As you'll hear, Tyler had plenty of stories from being at Skydome that were very exciting and entirely understandable, which only fuelled everyone's excitement for Friday.

From there, the discussion somehow shifted to cruise ships. How did the podcast get to cruises? No one knows for sure, but the conversation gave Chalmers the chance to talk about how much he loves them. After winding through his honeymoon cruise story, the podcast eventually turned into a discussion about the NBA's betting scandal that broke on Thursday. While this is certainly a very serious situation, the boys still had a bunch of fun talking about the absurdity of the situation.

Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast with Thursday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics, including a look at the Oilers vs. Habs, Vladdy Guerrero Jr's translator, beefs of the week, intense crowd moments, and whatever else was the boys' minds at the time. As you'll hear, the last chunk of the podcast was all over the map, which is what you should almost expect now that the podcast is down to one episode per week.

Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you wrap up the week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed the Oilers' two-game win streak, trade rumours, most hated opponents, and much more.

The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with some Oilers talk after the boys picked up a pair of wins over the Canucks and Rangers. Somehow, talking about those two wins led to a discussion about potential trade targets for Edmonton, even though it's way too early to really even discuss the possibilities. Following the trade talks down the rabbithole, the guys debated about who they would rather have in a trade: Tage Thompson or Ilya Sorokin.

From there, the discussion shifted to the players or opponents we irrationally hate just because they played for an opposing team. Whether it was a former Flame like Robyn Regehr crushing Ales Hemsky to the Dallas Stars running the show during the playoffs in the late 90s, there were plenty of options to choose from, and the reasons for hating them were all over the map. If anything, this exercise was a trip down memory lane and a reminder of how long some of these memories can last.

Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast with an array of topics, including the Jays trying to even up the series in Seattle, the Oilers looking for a third consecutive win, Ike Howard's spot in the lineup, and whatever else popped into anyone's mind. Needless to say, the last chunk of the podcast was a classic dose of Real Life because no single topic seemed to last more than a minute or two. Structure? Kinda. Bouncing all over the place? Absolutely.

Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you wrap up the week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed Jay's trip to London, the Oilers' season opener loss, the Blue Jays beating the Yankees, beefs of the week, and much more.

The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a quick recap of Jay's trip to the UK for the Browns game, covering what he got up to despite being away for only 96 hours. From trying haggis for the first time to dabbling with local beers to watching the NFL in a soccer stadium, Jay got a lot of life done in a very short amount of time.

From there, the discussion shifted to the Oilers' season opener, which was an incredibly frustrating result given how well the boys started the game. Starting with a look at the new guys, Chalmers admitted that he didn't know who some of the new guys were, which led to the boys dunking on him repeatedly. Despite hearing many of these names multiple times,

Finally, the guys walked through a new segment called Beef of the Week where the boys vented their frustrations with some news stories from the past week. Whether it's pop culture, the Oilers not acknowledging the Western Conference Champions banner, to the Blue Jays beating the Yankees in their first-ever playoff matchup, the end of this week's podcast was all over the map.
