It wouldn't be a Thursday afternoon without a fresh episode of Real Life to massage your earholes and help you get through the rest of the work week.

The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with some playoff baseball talk, including which teams are acceptable to cheer for with the Jays failing to make the postseason. Considering some of the storylines happening in the baseball postseason, Tyler offered his takes on who we should be rooting for and who we should be cheering against.

Changing gears, the guys kicked off some hockey talk with a discussion about the Jeremy Swayman situation in Boston and how that contract negotiation is turning toxic in a real hurry. Seeing as Swayman and Stuart Skinner are the same age and in nearly the same situation, Oilers fans should be watching this situation very carefully since this could become a direct comparable at contract time.

Midway through the goalie contract conversation, Jay walked into the podcast studio with a jar of pickles and completely derailed the conversation. After a quick pickle food review, the guys pivoted into a conversation about what flavour and type of chips reign supreme. As far as pointless chats go, the chip debate was as pointless as it gets.

The podcast then got real when Chalmers told a story about his wife's secret sibling that no one knew about. As you'll hear, the story of having a lost sibling connect after all these years of not knowing each other is almost unbelievable but truly exciting. The funny part about the revelation was that Chalmers wasn't sure if the boys would want to hear the story even though it's probably the realest Real Life story ever.

Finally, the fellas wrapped up the Thursday episode with another round of Keep It or Cut It. Tyler pitched a few different scenarios for the boys to keep or cut, including some MLB playoff talk, the Amazon Prime NHL docuseries, and whether or not Noah Philp has done enough in the pre-season to earn a spot with the Edmonton Oilers.

Oilers futures, NFL football talk, and the #NationVacation to Denver

The guys started the Monday episode of Real Life with a conversation about concession prices after the Utah Hockey Club released the prices for the upcoming season. If you haven't seen the graphic, Utah will be offering some very cheap food options, which is a far cry from what we've seen here in Edmonton at Rogers Place.

Changing gears, the fellas spent the next few minutes talking about the Nation Vacation to Denver and how the boys are getting very excited about getting everyone together for a weekend in the mountains. If you're still thinking about whether or not to come for the journey, this segment could be the push it takes to pull the trigger. As you'll hear, the guys have some big sports plans for that whole weekend.

Turning back to the Oilers, the boys looked at a few future bets for the upcoming season. From points totals to predicting goal totals for Jeff Skinner, everyone is clearly feeling bullish about the Oilers doing great things. On the flip side, Baggedmilk reengaged the argument from Friday's episode of ONR about whether or not the Janmark, Henrique, and Brown trio is worthy of being called a third line or not.

Finally, the fellas wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a look back at some of the old Oilers line combinations from opening day in years past. Needless to say, the Oilers' line combos weren't quite as juiced up as they are these days, and it's honestly incredible that Edmonton fans were able to drink the Kool-Aid at that time. In the end, today's episode of Real Life probably had the most sports talk of any episode in recent memory.

It wouldn't be a Thursday afternoon without a fresh episode of Real Life to massage your earholes and help you get through the rest of the work week. On today's episode, the guys talked about the Nation's fantasy football league, the Oilers' pre-season, and the Oilers appearing on Amazon Prime's upcoming docu-series.

The boys kicked off today's podcast with a conversation about the Oilers' pre-season and how it's been a slog to get through these eight tune-up games. Not only is the pre-season the worst time on the NHL calendar, but having to grind through these meaningless nights always feels like they take forever.

Sticking with hockey, the boys spent a few minutes talking about the Amazon docu-series that's coming out soon, and how the Oilers clips have the boys all fired up to see the curtain get peeled back a little bit. However, knowing how the Stanley Cup Final went, Baggedmilk thinks it may take a minute before the heartbreak subsides and he's able to watch it.

Changing gears, Tyler walked Chalmers through some shenanigans that are happening in the Nation HQ fantasy football league after Woz made a trade that was as shocking as it was bad. Trying to play devil's advocate, Chalmers did his best to defend Woz's move, but even he couldn't keep the charade going for very long as he started getting more details.

Finally, the fellas wrapped up the Thursday episode with a random collection of topics, including Chalmers' hatred of self checkouts at Home Depot, some betting talk on the weekend's football games, and why this season of Big Brother is starting to get very boring. As always, the final 15 minutes of the Thursday episode of Real Life was all over the map, and probably the most fun the boys had this past week.
