Nothing is better than a fresh episode of the Real Life podcast to recap the weekend and start your week. On the Monday episode of Real Life, the guys discussed the Oilers&#8217; need for a win in Game 4, playoff shenanigans in the city, and much more.
The boys kicked off the Monday episode of Real Life with a random collection of topics around the Oilers&#8217; second round matchup against the Vegas Golden Knights. After <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2025/05/10/edmonton-oilers-lose-game-3-golden-knights-game-winning-goal-0-4-seconds-left/">losing Game 3</a> in the most painful fashion imaginable, the pressure is on Edmonton to turn things around or risk losing the advantage they built by winning the first two matchups. Even though this isn&#8217;t a must-win game in the literal sense, it certainly feels like it in the spiritual sense.
Changing gears, producer Eli jumped onto the podcast to tell the story about our intern Padon getting kicked out of the Moss Pit for allegedly sneaking alcohol in. The problem with their theory, of course, is that Padon doesn&#8217;t drink. Not only does he not drink alcohol, but the guy was wearing shorts and didn&#8217;t have a bag of any type that would allow him even to try. Pivoting once again, Chalmers wanted to talk about banana cream pies after he crushed one over the weekend from Duchess Bake Shop. That led to a discussion about baking in general, including everyone&#8217;s love of fresh bread with butter.
Finally, the guys wrapped up the Monday episode of Real Life with a <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2025/05/12/oilers-golden-knights-game-4-information-line-combinations-starting-goaltenders/">Game 4 preview</a> ahead of Monday&#8217;s game against Vegas, and how there are a couple of <a href="https://oilersnation.com/combinations">line combo changes</a> that have people raising an eyebrow. Talking line combos led to some betting talk for our friends at bet365, before wrapping up with the podcast with another run of random topics.
