  • Darnell Nurse's trade request, Mike Babcock, and Tyler's trip to Vegas
    Jun 11 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 Darnell Nurse trade request, the Mike Babcock rumours, and much more.


    The guys kicked off this week's episode of Real Life with a conversation about the Darnell Nurse trade request that just came down today, and how it seems like we're walking toward the end of an era in Edmonton. While there's little doubt that Nurse's contract became a problem, the reality is that he was also a very good Oiler for a very long time. Despite the contract being a sticking point, the reality is that Nurse is a guy who gave his all to the city and the franchise.


    Shifting gears, the boys discussed the Mike Babcock rumours that have kicked up over the last week, and how just hearing his name was enough to trigger the entire fanbase. While there are a handful of Oilers fans who legitimately think this could work, the vast majority of them hate the idea to their core. That led the boys to discuss which guys would be better options for the Oilers, and whether they would even be interested in getting out of their own way.


    Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast on the Thursday episode of Real Life with a run of topics, starting with a breakdown of the Knicks' Game 4 win, New Yorkers embracing the moment, and recapped Tyler's trip down to Vegas, what it was like being at the Cup Final when you don't care. Even with the lack of Oilers games, it's always remarkable to see how much news can happen in Edmonton even though the team hasn't been on the ice in months.

  • Tyler is off to the Cup Final, the World Cup, and the Darnell Nurse rumours
    Jun 4 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 Tyler heading to Vegas for the Stanley Cup Final, Darnell Nurse rumours, rumblings out of Montreal, and much more.


    The guys kicked off this week's episode of Real Life with a conversation about Tyler heading to Vegas on Friday and revealed that he gets his own room during the trip, even if Baggedmilk and Jay always share rooms when they travel. Yet, if you're Tyler Yaremchuk, being mindful of business expenses is the last thing he thinks about when hitting the road. Somehow, talking about Tyler heading to Vegas led to another conversation about how much Knicks fans are paying to watch games at the NBA Finals.


    Shifting gears, the boys discussed the upcoming World Cup and whether the other guys on the show are getting excited to watch some international soccer. But before even getting anyone's answers, the conversation shifted to a bunch of random topics that had nothing to do with soccer. While there was some loose talk about soccer, we may never know whether any of the boys are excited about the biggest tournament on earth.


    Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast on the Thursday episode of Real Life with a run of topics, starting with a breakdown of Jay's water problems, beefs of the week, and how Tyler's sub-pump is keeping up him every night with all this rain. Even with the lack of Oilers news, it's always remarkable to hear the boys avoid topics like absolute professionals.
