Real Life Podcast: Jay and Chalmers’ golf weekend, the NFL is back, and Connor McDavid

Sep 8, 2025, 22:00 EDTUpdated: Sep 8, 2025, 16:11 EDT
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 Jay and Chalmers’ golf trip, casino etiquette, NFL opening weekend, and delved into any other topics that arose.
The guys started the Monday episode of Real Life with a discussion about Jay and Chalmers’ golf trip to Kamloops, and how both guys are not feeling their freshest after being away. Not only were they getting after it on the golf course, but they also seemed to carry the vibes into the casino with them. From a long weekend with the boys to an extended travel day on the way home, and even playing well on the course, it was clear that Jay and Chalmers had a great weekend and are paying for it today.
Changing gears, the guys discussed the start of the NFL season and how Tyler cashed in big on the Sunday nighter between the Bills and Ravens. Needless to say, having the NFL back this weekend was a big moment for the boys on the podcast, marking the official start of the best time for sports in the calendar year. If there was a downside to football being back, it had to be that everyone was watching the NFL and not reading the content on the TNN family of websites.
Finally, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics, including the Kawhi Leonard cap circumvention with the Clippers, whether or not this situation is unique in sports, and whether there’s going to be more similar stories like this that will come out. Sticking with contract discussions, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life by wondering what is going on with the Connor McDavid situation and whether the Oilers will be able to get the job done.
