It wouldn&#8217;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 <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2024/11/14/connor-mcdavid-buries-pass-from-leon-draisaitl-for-1000th-nhl-point/">Connor McDavid&#8217;s 1,000-point night</a>, 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 <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2024/11/06/instant-reaction-golden-knights-spoil-connor-mcdavids-return-beat-oilers-4-2/">Saturday&#8217;s loss against the Maple Leafs</a> and how avoidable mistakes ended up sinking the Oilers&#8217; 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&#8217;t prepared for the influx of traffic was stunning. As for the fight itself, Tyler took a victory lap after he basically <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2024/11/14/real-life-podcast-connor-mcdavid-chases-1000-points-and-betting-on-the-tyson-paul-fight/">called what was going to happen on Thursday&#8217;s podcast</a>. Not only did he predict a Jake Paul win but he also suspected that Tyson wouldn&#8217;t look anything like the training videos, which is exactly what happened.
From there, the guys spoke about the <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2024/11/16/oilers-defenceman-darnell-nurse-leaves-game-against-maple-leafs-shaken-bloodied-after-head-shot-by-ryan-reaves/">Ryan Reaves hit on Darnell Nurse</a> 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&#8217; 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.
