Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of <a href="https://oilersnation.com/shows">Real Life</a> was recorded, edited, and is ready to help you kick off your workweek. On today&#8217;s podcast, the guys discussed the start of the NFL season, jersey purchases, Pink Pony Club origin, and delved into any other topics that arose.
The guys kicked off the Thursday episode of Real Life by discussing the best time of the year for sports, now that the NHL is underway, the Jays are chasing a division win, and the NFL season has begun. There are so many sports stories to be excited about, and the guys kicked off the podcast with a conversation about Shadeur Sanders&#8217; jersey being a top seller despite not even being the starting QB in Cleveland. Talking about jerseys led the boys to talk about which unis they would buy if they were in the market for a new one.
Changing gears, the guys looked at the <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2025/09/10/canadian-prime-minister-mark-carney-addresses-edmonton-oilers-connor-mcdavid-contract-crisis/">Connor McDavid contract situation</a> and wondered whether or not these delays are tied to Kirill Kaprisov&#8217;s stalemate in Minnesota. Yesterday, it was reported that the Wild star turned down a $16 million AAV over eight years, which led to a conversation about whether these two contracts are linked. If Kaprisov is turning down that much smoke, does that mean that Connor McDavid is waiting to see where he lands before signing his own extension?
Finally, the guys wrapped up the Thursday episode of <a href="https://oilersnation.com/category/real-life-podcast">Real Life</a> with a random collection of topics, including Coldplay being set to pass Taylor Swift&#8217;s tour gross earnings, <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2025/09/10/connor-brown-reflects-time-with-edmonton-oilers-pink-pony-club-playoff-anthem/">Connor Brown spilling the Pink Pony Club details</a>, the Real Life Fantasy Football League, and the new Charlie Sheen documentary that just got loaded to Netflix. The squad may have been shorthanded this week, but that didn&#8217;t stop them from yammering on about anything and everything for an hour.
