Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of <a href="https://oilersnation.com/category/real-life-podcast">Real Life</a> was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you wrap up the week. On today&#8217;s podcast, the guys discussed the Oilers&#8217; two-game win streak, trade rumours, most hated opponents, and much more.
The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life with some Oilers talk after the boys picked up a pair of wins over the <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2025/10/12/the-day-after-2-0-edmonton-oilers-lose-streets-beat-vancouver-canucks-scoresheet/">Canucks</a> and <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2025/10/15/the-day-after-3-0-oilers-grind-out-greasy-win-over-rangers-to-kick-start-road-trip/">Rangers</a>. Somehow, talking about those two wins led to a discussion about potential trade targets for Edmonton, even though it&#8217;s way too early to really even discuss the possibilities. Following the trade talks down the rabbithole, the guys debated about who they would rather have in a trade: Tage Thompson or Ilya Sorokin.
From there, the discussion shifted to the players or opponents we irrationally hate just because they played for an opposing team. Whether it was a former Flame like Robyn Regehr crushing Ales Hemsky to the Dallas Stars running the show during the playoffs in the late 90s, there were plenty of options to choose from, and the reasons for hating them were all over the map. If anything, this exercise was a trip down memory lane and a reminder of how long some of these memories can last.
Finally, the guys wrapped up the podcast with an array of topics, including the Jays trying to even up the series in Seattle, the Oilers looking for a third consecutive win, Ike Howard&#8217;s spot in the lineup, and whatever else popped into anyone&#8217;s mind. Needless to say, the last chunk of the podcast was a classic dose of Real Life because no single topic seemed to last more than a minute or two. Structure? Kinda. Bouncing all over the place? Absolutely.
