Oilers at the trade deadline, Jay's trip to Paris, and the Internet doesn't care
03/07/25 • 55 min
It's Thursday afternoon, which means a new episode of Real Life is recorded and ready to discuss the world around us. On today's podcast, the guys discuss their trade deadline expectations, Jay's vacation to Paris, the drama surrounding the weight loss challenge, and much more.
The guys started the Thursday episode of the podcast with a conversation about the NHL trade deadline and how no one really knows what to expect from the league's annual swap n' shop. With plenty of trades already happening in the days and weeks leading up to the deadline, it will be interesting to see how much movement actually happens on the last trading day. Will the Oilers be active, or will it disappoint the fanbase?
Changing gears, the guys discussed Jay's vacation to Paris and how he did not waste an opportunity to enjoy all the delicious food he encountered. Chalmers called him out for his unsanctioned weigh-in before he left and said his win shouldn't count as a result. Everyone weighed in for an official marker, and Jay gained six pounds while away. So what does that mean for the weight loss challenge? No one can be sure.
Sticking with the food talk, Chalmers went on a classic rant about restaurant menus in other languages because he constantly has to Google what everything is. As you'll hear, he was incredibly spicy about his trip to an Italian restaurant, and it was hilarious to hear him melt down about menus at fancy establishments. No one else in the room seems to have the same issue, but that didn't stop Chalmers from voicing his opinion on the issue.
Finally, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of Real Life with an array of topics, including social media viral moments, NFL free agency, and what everyone expects the Oilers to do at the trade deadline. As always, the hour flew by as the guys ripped through their topics and wrapped up just as quickly because Tyler had to bail for a trade deadline show rehearsal.

Be careful with the ice out there, Evander Kane rumours, and Oilers at the trade deadline
Monday afternoon means a fresh episode of the Real Life podcast is recorded, edited, and ready to kick off your week. On today's podcast, the guys discussed slippery sidewalks in Edmonton, what the Oilers might do at the trade deadline, the weigh-in shenanigans, and much more.
Chalmers kicked off the Monday episode of Real Life with a story about falling on the ice after the melt in Edmonton has resulted in some of the slipperiest sidewalks you can imagine. As it turns out, Chalmers isn't the only one to wipe out lately, as Baggedmilk revealed that he also took a spill this past week while walking his dog. Needless to say, reminding people to be careful out there when you're walking around.
Turning the podcast to the Oilers, Tyler quizzed Chalmers on how much he's been paying attention to the news ahead of the NHL trade deadline. As you likely suspected, Chalmers hasn't really been paying attention all that much, but did hear about the recent Evander Kane news about wanting to come back to prove he's still got it. Given the Oilers' cap limitations, this latest Kane news isn't likely to be overly popular around these parts.
Changing gears, Chalmers brought Tyler up to date with the Real Life weight loss challenge shenanigans, and how the boys still don't feel as though they should pay him considering his winning weight was not at a sanctioned weigh-in. With Jay on his way back from France as the podcast was recording, it will be fascinating to hear his side of the story and whether he think his win is legitimate.
Finally, the fellas wrapped up the Monday podcast with an array of topics, including wallet innovation, getting ID'd at restaurants, men's league showers, and whether anyone cares about St. Patricks Day. As always, the boys were all over the map to close out the show, which was as predictable as it was unpredictable.

Next Episode
Tyler has fans everywhere, daylight savings time, and the new Oilers
Monday afternoon means a new episode of the Real Life podcast is recorded, edited, and ready to kick off your week. On today's podcast, the guys discuss a fan interaction Tyler had this weekend, their first impressions of the Oilers' deadline pickups, and much more.
Tyler kicked off the Monday episode of Real Life with a story from the weekend. Tyler was out and about after the trade deadline on Friday and had someone come up to him to say that he's an idiot right to his face. As you'll hear, Tyler often deals with keyboard warriors and is used to chirps on X/Twitter, but to have someone say something to his face was a new experience for our boy.
From there, the guys offered their first impressions about the Oilers' deadline pickups. Starting with Jake Walman's game against the Stars, how could you not love the game he had on Saturday night against the Dallas Stars? From the long-bomb pass to Zach Hyman to his monstrous hit on Mikko Rantanen, it was hard not to be enamoured by Walman's first game in blue and orange. Even though it's only been a game, the guys are excited to see how Walman develops with the team once he gets comfortable.
Sticking with the trade deadline, Jay and Tyler argued for the next ten minutes about whether the Oilers did enough. As you'll hear, the boys clearly don't agree that Edmonton could have done more, and it was entertaining for the other boys on the show to sit and listen to the chaos. While no one wants mom and dad to fight, the disagreement did lead to an interesting few minutes of podcast tension.
Finally, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics, including the Mikko Rantanen trade noise, NFL free agency, betting talk, and anything that popped into everyone's mind. As always, the Monday episode of Real Life was all over the map, which is exactly what you'd expect from this podcast.
