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 wrap up the week. On today&#8217;s podcast, the guys discussed Kirill Kaprizov&#8217;s contract, speaking to animals, and much more.
The guys started the Thursday episode of Real Life with a discussion about the Oilers&#8217; pre-season and how it&#8217;s such a grind to get through these eight games when games that matter are right around the corner. The good news is that there&#8217;s only one tune-up game left to slog through until the regular season begins, and that means we&#8217;re so close to getting going for real. Talking about the season led the guys to discuss <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2025/09/30/nhl-news-minnesota-wild-sign-kirill-kaprizov-record-setting-17-million-per-year-contract/">Kirill Kaprizov&#8217;s contract extension</a> and whether it affects Connor McDavid&#8217;s negotiations.
Taking a hard turn, Tyler asked the boys which animal they would choose to speak with if they could somehow speak the same language. While this may have been a throwaway comment by Tyler, the boys took the question way more seriously than he probably expected. From talking to birds to negotiating with wasps and mosquitoes, what seemed like a throwaway topic ended up going on way longer than anyone probably expected.
Finally, the guys walked through a new segment called Beef of the Week where they vented their frustrations for a couple of minutes to let it all out. From complaining about TV to Chalmers&#8217; love of tomahawk steaks, the first go at this new idea went better than initially expected. The real question, however, is whether or not the fellas can actually stick to coming up with something every week instead of letting the bit slide as they always seem to do.
