Real Life Podcast: Philip Rivers’ NFL return, music vs. pop culture, and Jay’s traffic tickets

Dec 11, 2025, 20:00 ESTUpdated: Dec 11, 2025, 17:13 EST
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 Philip Rivers’ return to the NFL, Morgan Wallen = Drake, Jay’s list of traffic tickets, and more.
The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a conversation about Tyler Yaremchuk’s wedding and how we’re finally able to release his Oodle Noodle ad from the ceremony. As you’ll see, Tyler nailed the ad copy to open up the speeches, and the video is hilarious. Shifting gears, the guys discussed Philip Rivers’ return to the Indianapolis Colts after a five-year absence. Needless to say, this is one of the wildest sports stories in recent memory, and we won’t have to wait long to see how the experiment goes.
Changing gears, the conversation turned to music after Wanye noted some dramatic weight loss in the music industry lately. With Ozempic so prevalent, it’s hard to imagine there’s no trade-off to losing weight so easily. That led to the boys talking about their annual Spotify wraps, and Chalmers’ theory that Morgan Wallen is basically the Drake of country music. Somehow, talking about music led to Jay telling the story of the recent run of tickets he got yesterday and how he now has to deal with a wide list of infractions.
Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast with the Thursday episode of Real Life, covering a random collection of topics, including beefs of the week and anything that kept the conversation away from the Edmonton Oilers. Needless to say, when the team is as bad as they’ve been lately, talking about literally any other topic just seems more enjoyable. As always, the Thursday episode was all over the map, which is precisely what you’d expect from the Real Life podcast.
