  • 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.
