Connor McDavid chases 1,000 points, and betting on the Tyson/Paul fight
11/14/24 • 56 min
Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of the Real Life Podcast is here to wrap up your week and help you navigate this crazy little thing called life. This week, the fellas covered Chalmers' new found appreciation for meditation, Connor McDavid chasing 1000 points, Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul, and a whole lot more.
The boys started the podcast by discussing the new studio and how a couple of shipping delays are making Tyler nervous about getting it done on time. But as you'll hear, no one heard the first part of the conversation because none of the microphones were turned on. Picking up where they left off, Chalmers confessed that he's now a meditator and revealed how it's impacting his life.
Changing gears, the guys looked at tomorrow's fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul and speculated what everyone thinks will happen. What's clear is that the older boys on the show think 58-year-old Tyson is being disrespected by younger folks who may not remember how devastating he used to be. Granted, Tyson isn't the fighter he was as a younger man, but if he catches Jake Paul with a clean punch, that could be all she wrote. Tyler, however, was willing to put his money where his mouth is with the backing of Jake Paul.
Turning the podcast toward the Oilers, the guys looked at Connor McDavid sitting only a single point away from 1,000 in his career, and even took guesses at how he'll pick up the point. If he does reach the milestone on Thursday against Nashville, the thing the guys wanted everyone to remember is that they should enjoy the moment. Even though we've all gotten used to Connor McDavid doing ridiculous things on an annual basis, this latest milestone is anything but normal.

Previous Episode
Buying grocery store beers, the #NationVacation, and the Oilers vs. Canucks
It wouldn't be a Monday afternoon without a fresh episode of the Real Life podcast, would it? Of course not.
The boys kicked off the podcast by discussing an idea from Target in the USA: patrons can enjoy a beer while they're shopping. The boys then wondered if they would even want to spend more time in the grocery store or if they believed this could be an insurance issue waiting to happen.
Changing gears, the guys spent the next few minutes talking about the Nation Vacation at the end of the month and how the boys are excited about the 5KM run they organized for Denver. Baggedmilk, however, is thrilled to be sitting out that run and promises to meet the boys with a fresh beer when they cross the finish line.
Turning the podcast back toward the Oilers, the boys discussed how great it was to watch the boys dismantle the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday. Given that the boys were struggling to score goals, is it too much to hope that the floodgates could open up a little bit? That said, there are still a couple of players — Nugent-Hopkins and Podkolzin, specifically — who are struggling mightily to get pucks in the net.
Finally, the fellas wrapped up the podcast with a discussion about Jeff Marek joining The Nation Network and how it's wild to think about how far TNN has come over the years. Needless to say, welcoming Marek into the family was a big moment for the company, and the guys are all excited to see what kind of content he produces with the MSM shackles coming off.

Next Episode
Connor McDavid's 1,000th point, Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson, and Darnell Nurse
It wouldn't be a Monday afternoon without a fresh episode of the Real Life podcast, would it? Of course not.
The fellas kicked off the first week podcast episode of the week with a random collection of topics, including a look back at some of the biggest sports moments from the past few days. Starting with Connor McDavid's 1,000-point night, the fellas looked back at what was a magical night at Rogers Place and how that was one of the greatest nights to be an Oilers fan that we can remember. Changing gears, the guys looked at Saturday's loss against the Maple Leafs and how avoidable mistakes ended up sinking the Oilers' night even though they probably should have won.
The next topic that came up was the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight from Friday night, and started with the issues Netflix was having with the 60 million people logging in to the stream. Given the hype ahead of the fight, the fact that Netflix wasn't prepared for the influx of traffic was stunning. As for the fight itself, Tyler took a victory lap after he basically called what was going to happen on Thursday's podcast. Not only did he predict a Jake Paul win but he also suspected that Tyson wouldn't look anything like the training videos, which is exactly what happened.
From there, the guys spoke about the Ryan Reaves hit on Darnell Nurse from Saturday night, and how it was such a needless hit given where the league is at in 2024. For a player like Reaves who plays extremely limited minutes at the best of times, it makes the fact that he took out an Oilers' starter all the more frustrating. The squad also discussed whether a five-game suspension was enough given how violent the collision was and the fact Reaves has a history of predatory hits.
