"Neil Was a Pimp, Ya Know?"
This week on Sit, Talk, and Listen, we welcome Kris, the banjo-slinging member of Rob’s band, for a journey through relationship statistics, questionable rabbit holes, and the noises that make us want to unplug our ears. 😂 We break down the numbers behind relationships (and naturally overthink...
-
"Big "Look at me" Move"
The boys recap their Chicago trip, including a trip to Wrigley Field where Xavi experienced every possible emotion known to mankind. We hit the headlines from 1871 and 1971, celebrate Smile Day and Name Your Car Day, and hear Xavi’s way-too-late NFL predictions. Then it’s the Mt. Rushmore of…

"David and the Technicolored Dreamcoat"
We made it to Episode 70, and somehow we're still allowed to have microphones. This week, Rob returns from his trip to Branson and Silver Dollar City with stories, memories, and—most importantly—an excuse to talk about theme park food. That sends us down the delicious rabbit hole of the most...
-
"Come Back Kings"
After disappearing for 119 days, S.T.L. has somehow returned—and we're pretending that was completely normal. This episode covers the Clover gig, the weird and awkward social situations nobody prepares you for, and a trip through headlines from 1869 and 1969 to see just how strange the world was...
-
"Never a Ronda"
Spring has sprung… which means love is in the air, allergies are undefeated, and your dating life is either thriving or in witness protection. This week, the guys break down some very scientific (definitely not made up) dating & relationship stats that will either make you feel better… or...
-
"That was Some Fine Sex"
This week, we kick things off by airing our grievances about the absolute WORST driving habits. Turn signals? Optional. Speed limits? A suggestion. We also run through a survey of what annoys drivers the most… and let's just say, if you're a left-lane camper, this might be a tough listen. Since...
-
"Bob Loves Capitalist and the Illini"
️ Sit, Talk, and Listen – Episode 66 (March 30th, 2026) We've got a full house this week as Brendan joins the chaos, and things get off to a HOT start with Rob vs. the grocery store… a battle featuring unnecessary commentary, mild attitude, and at least one innocent bystander. From there, we...
-
"You Gotta Let the Nuts Heal; Ya Know?"
This week on S.T.L., we dive headfirst into the wild world of sandwiches—from the classic PB&J to the kind of creations that make your taste buds question reality. We celebrate the quirkiest National Days, and give a shoutout to all the athletes who rocked #65 (spoiler: it's a very exclusive…
more -
"So Anyway; Lets Move On"
Episode 64 leans all the way into the theme and refuses to let the number breathe. We start with famous athletes who wore #64—which, shocker, turns into a deep dive on offensive linemen and the universal disrespect they get. There's passionate advocacy for “big men deserve love,” followed...
-
"Jessica is the New Karen"
Snow Magadan set the vibe and chaos followed. We kick things off with famous athletes who rocked #63, then immediately derail the show when Xavi meets Rob's childhood enemy (yes… it's as awkward as it sounds). History class returns with wild moments from 1963 and 1863, plus we unpack the 40-year...
-
"This is Gonna Get Us Flagged"
We kick things off celebrating an I.U. WIN (yes, it finally happened — act accordingly). Then we dive into famous athletes who wore #62, because nothing says elite podcasting like ranking offensive linemen. From there we hit the sports update, featuring the legendary Philly Eagles Kid moment that...
-
"U2 is the Biggest Industry Plant Ever."
We kick things off with famous #61 athletes and take a quick history detour through 1961 and 1861 (because why not). From there it's national days, trivia that somehow turns into U2 vs. Michael Jackson, and a round of Would You Rather that raises more questions than answers. Things really go off...
-
"800 Million? I'm Takin' the Boys to Dinner!"
Episode 60 is packed, loud, and all over the place—in the best way possible. We're joined by Brady and Brendan, and things get rolling with a deep (and unnecessary) dive into #60, including what was happening in 1960, 1860, and even 1760. Xavi fires back at people who love to talk down on the…
more -
"Bruce Should've Been on the Plane"
We're back with Episode 59 and we're joined by our buddy Brendan for a full episode of laughs, debates, and questionable facts. Rob kicks things off hot with yet another road rage encounter, proving once again that driving brings out the worst in him. We break down athletes who wore #59, dive…
more -
"It's Not a Man!?!"
Episode 58 is all over the place in the best way possible. We start by stretching the number 58 to its absolute limits, then spiral into December 18th National Days—including the very important Answer the Phone Like Buddy the Elf Day. From there we somehow debate faded food window pictures,...
-
"Midwestern Hick Hoosier Boy"
In Episode 57, we kick things off the only way we logically could: by diving deep into the world of famous #57s—athletes, brands, numbers that barely count as trivia, and whatever else we could mentally attach to that digit. From there, we crank up the chaos with some “simple” trivia designed...
-
"Don't Get a B.B.L."
We kick things off by shouting out the legends who rocked jersey #56 (spoiler: they could probably still out-athlete us today). Then Xavi takes the mic with a few random trivia questions — and somehow we end up talking about #FreeBritney. Next up, we celebrate the very important national days of...
-
"The Rest is Still Unwritten"
We've officially hit the speed limit on episode numbers, and Episode 55 is rolling heavy. First up, we run through the athletes who made #55 famous—Mutombo's finger wag, Junior Seau's hits, and Tim Lincecum's hair all get their shine. Then it's on to today's National Days (October 9th). Is it...
-
"These Koala's are Running Amuck!"
We kick things off by honoring the legends of the number 54 jersey—because apparently linebackers have a group chat where that's the only number allowed. From there, we dive headfirst into today's National Days list, which includes everything from Situational Awareness Day (watch where you're...
-
"What's a Sloppy Joe?"
This week's episode kicks off with famous athletes who rocked #53… including our very own Xavi, who is now officially Hall of Fame eligible (at least in our podcast universe). From there, we dive into the September 19th National Days, which somehow turn into debates no sane person has ever had...
-
"Fall Time is for Slutty Boys"
Sit, Talk, and Listen – Episode 52 Ray Lewis dances in, football season takes over Xavi's brain, and a poor girlfriend gets hit with the dreaded part-time boyfriend letter. Rob shockingly says nice things about Chicago (??), while we debate if a kid in a McLovin T-shirt is funny or just a cry for...
-
"Tom Brady is Potatoes"
This week we honor the legends rocking jersey #51 before diving into today's National Days—because who doesn't love an oddly specific holiday? We get deep for a minute about doing things for the last time without knowing it… like having your last uncut sandwich, which spirals into a surprisingly...
-
"Another Upstanding Dude!"
Strap in and hydrate, folks—this is the special marathon-length 50th episode of Sit, Talk, and Listen, where a gang of four assembles like a slightly less organized Avengers team to celebrate our golden episode milestone! ️ We kick things off like any proper sports bar trivia night—with a deep…
more -
"We Live in a Galaxy?!?"
Recorded July 17th, 2025 — and boy, we packed more into this episode than a lower back tattoo on spring break. We kick things off honoring the greatest to ever wear #49... which didn't take long. Then we celebrate today's National Days — including Lottery Day (aka, “I'm still broke, but hopeful”)...
-
"F.F.F.F"
Recorded July 11th, 2025 – This week, the pod is wired—literally. We kick things off by playing with our brand-new tech upgrade, which means you might actually hear us clearly now (you're welcome). Then it's time to test Xavi's sports brain as he shockingly rattles off more #48s than any…
more -
"We Service Milkmen"
Recorded July 2nd, 2025 – It's our Fourth of July blowout episode and we're celebrating the only way we know how: debating grilled meats, bucket foods, and UFOs. We kick things off by honoring the number 47—yes, that elite jersey number worn by none other than Blues defenseman Torey Krug. Then we...
-
"Do You Think Helen Keller Was Lying?"
Recorded June 28th, 2025 — In this episode, we kick things off with the burning questions of our time: Are we really still celebrating National Tapioca Day? And who's the most iconic #46 of all time—Paul Goldschmidt or your old high school football jersey? We dive into twin territory—should they...
-
"Their All Some Hate'n Ass B*tches Dude"
After a brief hiatus (blame life, not laziness… maybe), the crew is finally back—older, wiser, and still just as confused. In this episode, we start by honoring the greatest #45s in sports history, which naturally derails into arguments, impersonations, and at least one conspiracy theory…
more -
"That's Bar Exam Hard!"
On this episode of Sit, Talk, and Listen, the gang is joined by honorary co-host Brady—just in time for a chaotic tale that starts with a casual text from a high school classmate and somehow ends with a dinner story no one will forget (or fully understand). We celebrate some of America's most...
-
"5-0-! Book it Danno!"
In Episode 43, we kick things off by breaking down the greatest athletes to ever wear the number 43… and from there, it naturally devolves into a deep philosophical debate about the future of jersey numbers: triple digits? Emojis? Could we see a linebacker rocking “#” in the near future? We also...
-
"Call in Big Jogger"
Strap in and sip on your favorite sparkling water, because Episode 42 is a whirlwind—literally. We kick things off by honoring the greats who've rocked the number 42—sports legends, cultural icons, and maybe even your cousin Greg's high school jersey (he peaked in JV basketball, okay?). Then we...
-
"She said, "Where the F**K is Liz!""
In this week's chaotic-but-cozy episode, your favorite duo is back and slightly more caffeinated than usual. We kick things off by celebrating the greatest national day of them all—Chocolate Chip Day—aka the only reason cookies exist. That nostalgia-fueled conversation somehow leads us straight...
-
"Today is Our Airing of Grievances"
In this milestone 40th episode, we let it all out — because sometimes you just need to rant into a microphone for an hour and call it content. We begin, as always, with a tour through today's “National Days,” including celebrations so oddly specific, we're convinced someone's just making them up…
more -
"The Blues Will be Winn-a-Peggin the Jets Tonight!"
It's a wild one, folks. We kick things off by breaking down the NFL Draft—aka the annual tradition of judging 21-year-olds in suits like we're experts. Then, things get unexpectedly reverent as we talk about the passing of the Pope (RIP to a real one). But don't worry, it quickly devolves when we...
-
"Who T.F. is Ned Schneebly!?"
In this chaotic-yet-charming Episode 38, we kick things off with a tribute to legendary athletes who wore the number 38—because why not? Xavi comes in hot with the stats, but then immediately loses all credibility by admitting he's never seen School of Rock. Yes, we gasped too. From there, we...
-
"My Mouth Starts Salivating Like Pavlov's Dog!"
In this wildly nutritious episode of Sit, Talk, and Listen, your favorite audio troublemakers return with a snack-sized bag of hot takes and hilarious stories. We kick things off with a shoutout to our least favorite holiday—Tax Day—and a few other notable happenings that share the unfortunate...
-
"It's a Slippery World; Everyone's Sliding Into the DMs"
In today's episode, we kick things off with a wild ride through the "National Days" for April 7th. From National No Housework Day to National Beer Day, we can't help but wonder if these days were invented just to make our lives easier—or just give us a reason to stay in sweatpants. Spoiler: We...
-
"We Don't Like to Generalize Here; BUT..."
In this episode of Sit, Talk, and Listen, we're back with more hot takes than a summer sidewalk as we dive into the world of soccer rivalries. Special guest Brendan joins us to guide us through our final “Best Sports Rivalries” Mount Rushmore — the big guns of soccer (or futbol, depending on…
more -

-
"Congratulations! Who's Having the Baby?"

-
"Too Far Travis; Too Far."

-
"I was Gonna Teach Her a Lesson She was 75 Years Overdue"
Welcome back, dear listeners! This week, we kick things off by confronting a terrifying truth: the average person spends FOUR HOURS a day on their phone. That's like watching Titanic daily (without even getting to the end because you got distracted by another app). Then, we settle an age-old...
-
"You Don't Know What Costco Guys?"
In this episode, we kick things off with a chat about the good things we have going on in our lives right now and what we hope to accomplish in the year ahead. From personal goals to exciting plans, we're setting the tone for a positive and productive year. Next, we shift gears and talk about…

Welcome to the first episode of the new year, where the snow is falling, the takes are hot, and the jokes are lukewarm at best. We kick things off with a frosty chat about St. Louis's recent snowfall and how it's made everything more magical... and also more of a hassle to drive in. With…
