Real Life Podcast: Fishing derbies, beer league hockey, and the Oilersnation Open

Monday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you kick off your workweek. On today’s podcast, the guys discussed this week’s fishing derby, the Real Life fantasy football league, beer league hockey, and anything else that came about.
The guys started the Monday episode of Real Life with a discussion about Tuesday’s fishing derby presented by Sherwood Power Sports & Marine. While the boys don’t really know what to expect from the derby, the boys are excited to get out on the boat and do what they can to beat our friends at Sherwood Ford. As you’ll hear, Chalmers was full of helpful advice for Tyler, who will be making his fishing debut.
Shifting gears, Tyler went on a rant about beer league hockey after the cost for playing went up to $13,500 in his league for the 2025-26 season. As you’ll hear, it works out to $855 per player, which bothers Tyler because the annual increases seem to get bigger year over year. While beer league is a favourite Tyler pastime, having to chase his teammates for the cash is making his weekly games a little less fun.
Finally, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics, including Chalmers working through his boys’ hockey tryouts, the Real Life fantasy football league, the upcoming Oilersnation Open, and whatever else was coming to mind. As you’ll hear, the back half of the podcast was all over the map despite having no prep done ahead of time. Needless to say, trying to map out an episode of Real Life is like trying to lasso a tornado.
