Real Life Podcast: Thanksgiving football, Oilers autograph session at WEM, and max wait times

Nov 27, 2025, 08:00 ESTUpdated: Nov 28, 2025, 11:57 EST
Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you wrap up the week. On today’s podcast, the guys discussed Thanksgiving football, Chalmers’ door-locking routine, the Oilers’ autograph session at WEM, and more.
The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with a Thanksgiving discussion about turkey and how many cuisines from around the world don’t use turkey. Somehow, talking about turkey led the guys to discuss whether they’d be comfortable hunting. Given how popular hunting is among a segment of the population, it was interesting to hear the boys’ thoughts on whether they could do it. Spoiler: The room was split.
Changing gears, the conversation somehow turned to Chalmers’ fear of judgment when he locks the door behind a departing guest too soon. He doesn’t want the person to hear him lock the door behind them. While he was the only one on the podcast to have this fear, it was fascinating to hear his thoughts on the proper timeline for locking up. Shifting the conversation again, the boys discussed the Oilers’ autograph session at WEM and how long they would be willing to wait in line for an autograph.
Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast with the Thursday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics, including a look at anything other than 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.
