  • 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.

  • Masters weekend, Connor McDavid's brilliance, and best in-person sports
    Apr 9 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 Masters Tournament, the Oilers' big win in San Jose, Connor Ingram and Jason Dickinson getting banged up, best in-person sports, and much more.


    The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a conversation about Jay's lack of attendance on the podcast and a plan to play a trick on him, knowing he won't listen to the show. If you listen to this week's episode, the boys are asking for help with the bit. Sticking with TNN's suite of podcasts, the guys spent a few minutes discussing the network's shows and how the whole operation works.


    Changing gears, the conversation turned to the Masters and how Chalmers and Tyler were so excited for the tournament to get going. After the horrible spring we've had in Edmonton, the boys are using the Masters weekend as their kick-off point for their own summer of swing. As you'll hear, the Masters isn't just something to watch on TV, but rather a tipping point into a summer of golf. The point is, this is a big deal for 2/3 of the hosts.


    Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast on the Thursday episode of Real Life with a run of topics, starting with some Oilers talk about the team's magic number and what they need to do to win the Pacific Division. Starting with Connor McDavid's brilliance over the last two games, and how he's playing his best hockey at the right time of the year. Turning back to the Masters, the boys took guesses at what they could do for a score in a round at Augusta, which led to talking about what sports would be the best to watch in person.

  • Chalmers is back from Mexico, the Nation Vacation, and the Oilers turnaround
    Apr 2 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 Chalmers' trip to Mexico, a quick Nation Vacation recap, some love for Connor Ingram, the Oilers' resurgence, and more.


    The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a conversation about Chalmers' trip to Mexico, and how it was the first time his boys had ever been to an all-inclusive resort. As much as Chalmers loves going down to Mexico, it was also a little bit eerie to be in Puerto Vallarta with all of the craziness happening around the country right now. He also walked the boys through the struggles he was having to find a spot that would show the Oilers game.


    Changing gears, the conversation turned to the Nation Vacation trip to Las Vegas. Tyler and Baggedmilk walked Chalmers through some of the best stories from this latest trip, and how it was one of the best runs down to Vegas that we've ever done. Even with a smaller group, there were so many amazing stories to share that the boys really only scratched the surface. From winning money to trip darts to what it was like to be at T-Mobile Arena for such a massive moment.


    Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast on the Thursday episode of Real Life with a run of topics, starting with Connor Ingram getting a birthday shutout and how he's been so good over the last couple of weeks. Shifting gears, the boys walked through some of the new rule changes in the MLB, and how they all appreciate how the heads of baseball are always looking for ways to improve the game.
