Sit Talk and Listen

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 significantly worse. We keep the “68” theme rolling with famous 68s and take a wild ride through headlines from 1868 and 1968—because nothing pairs better with modern dating than 150-year-old news. It's also a big day on the calendar: National Peach Cobbler Day AND Scrabble Day. One is delicious… the other ruins friendships over whether “QAT” is a real word. Xavi is BACK with a fresh annoyance, this time diving into restaurant workplace drama—because nothing says chaos like a kitchen, a bad manager, and someone calling in “sick” for the third Friday in a row. In sports, we cover everything: The Masters, Cardinals baseball, the Blues' unfortunate exit, and the March Madness title game—where brackets go to die and everyone suddenly becomes a college basketball expert. Then it's time for a heated Mt. Rushmore: Things That Start With the Letter “M”. Expect passion, controversy, and at least one pick that makes absolutely no sense. We wrap it up with Xavi hitting us with a “Would You Rather” that will divide the room and possibly end friendships. Tune in, laugh a little, and remember: whether it's relationships, sports, or Scrabble… we're probably overthinking it.

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 it's Episode 67, you know we had to do it—shouting out some famous 67s and diving into headlines from 1867 and 1967. From historic moments to “wait… THAT happened??” stories, we've got a little bit of everything. We also celebrate some very important national days for April 6th, including Siamese Cat Day (meow) and Robert Day (finally, a day for Rob to shine). Xavi jumps in to recap what can only be described as a chaotic week—because of course he does—before we check in on the sports world. We cover the latest headlines, including Tiger Woods popping back into the news yet again, because apparently he never really leaves it. Then it's time for our Mt. Rushmore segment, where we attempt the impossible: building the definitive Mount Rushmore of singers/vocalists. Arguments were made. Voices were raised. Feelings may have been hurt. To close things out, Xavi brings us an all-time “AITAH” from Reddit that will have you questioning humanity (and possibly your own morals). Thanks for listening—see ya next episode ️

️ 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 celebrate National Days like Doctor's Day and Take a Walk in the Park Day—because nothing says podcast energy like appreciating healthcare professionals and… going outside. We roll into athletes who wore #66, where legends are honored and a few names definitely had us double-checking Google. Then it's history time—1866 vs. 1966—including a deep dive into Route 66 and somehow… highways as a whole. Riveting stuff, honestly. Next up, we build the perfect fast food meal, which quickly turns into strong opinions, questionable combos, and at least one order that should be investigated. Sports update covers baseball being BACK (finally) and the madness of the NCAA Tournament—because brackets everywhere are already in shambles. Then we take a trip to the Gateway Arch… via 1-star reviews, where tourists expected life-changing experiences and instead got mad at a large piece of metal. Mount Rushmore this week: Rappers/Hip-Hop Artists—a list that definitely won't cause any debates… (it absolutely will). And we wrap it up with Xavi diving into another AITAH, reminding us once again that people are… unbelievable. Tune in for laughs, debates, and a grocery store story that probably didn't need to be that dramatic—but we're glad it was.

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 club). History buffs, we've got you covered with a double-decker look at 1965 and 1865, plus a sports update that's more surprising than finding lobster in your mac ‘n' cheese. Speaking of food, yes—we actually talk lobster mac ‘n' cheese, because why not? We can't forget the cringe—this week's 1-star review spotlight is none other than Chuck E. Cheese (kids everywhere are collectively groaning). Then, we assemble our Mt. Rushmore of One-Hit Wonders—because sometimes one hit is all it takes to be immortal. Finally, Xavi reads a juicy AITAH story that will have you questioning all your life choices…or at least your decisions in group text debates. Tune in, laugh a little, and remember: calories, history, and bad reviews are best enjoyed together.

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 immediately by forgetting half their names. From there, we hit 1964, which means: The absolute cultural takeover of The Beatles and the chaos of Beatlemania The era of Lyndon B. Johnson and major political shifts Sports and pop culture moments that we confidently summarize with medium accuracy and maximum conviction Then we time-travel back to 1864, landing right in the middle of the Civil War. This somehow becomes a full debate about whether any of us would survive a week in the 1800s. There are bold survival claims, immediate backtracking, and complaints about zero WiFi and zero deodorant. The sports update keeps the energy high with a passionate (and slightly unhinged) discussion about LeBron James and the never-ending GOAT debate. Strong opinions were shared. None were walked back. National Days show up—as always—and we treat them like federally mandated celebrations, fully committing to honoring something that absolutely no one asked for. Then it's time for our Month Rushmore: Sitcoms Edition.Mount Rushmore drafting gets heated. Alliances are formed. Betrayals happen. Someone absolutely reaches for a pick that causes audible disappointment. There are generational divides, nostalgia arguments, and at least one “you can't leave that off” moment that turns into a five-minute debate. And just when things feel stable, Xavi drops an AITAH story that sends us into full moral courtroom mode. Was the person wrong? Was it petty genius? Are we the problem? The verdict changes at least twice before we settle on something that feels legally binding but emotionally questionable. Episode 64 is history, sports debates, sitcom nostalgia, and ethical chaos—held together by nothing but vibes, strong opinions, and the number 64 doing entirely too much.

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 Challenger anniversary and why it still hits hard. From there it's National Days madness — Puzzle Day gets our brains working and Curmudgeons Day gives everyone permission to complain professionally. The sports update is loaded: Belichick rumors, LeBron still being LeBron, college hoops with SLU and IU, and a hype check-in as the Olympics kick off Feb 6th. We roast some legendary 1-star reviews of the Missouri Botanical Garden, draft our Mount Rushmore of Best Desserts (friendships were tested), and wrap it up with a classic Would You Rather: Xavi Reads segment that somehow gets more unhinged every week. Hit play, grab a snack (preferably dessert), and Sit, Talk, and Listen.

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 had the internet in a chokehold. After that, we time-travel back to 1962 and 1862 to see what chaos humanity was cooking up before WiFi existed. We check in on National Days, show love to the legendary Sam Cooke on what would've been his 95th birthday, and then immediately lose all maturity with a round of Would You Rather. Things get spicy when we read 1-star reviews of Forest Park, because apparently even beautiful places can't escape keyboard warriors. Then it's time for our Mount Rushmore of Biggest Scams — from historical finesses to modern-day nonsense (yes, somebody gets called out). We wrap it all up with Xavi taking over Would You Rather duties, proving once again that giving him the mic is both entertaining and dangerous. Hit play, laugh irresponsibly, and remember… this is Sit, Talk, and Listen — not Sit, Behave, and Be Normal.

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 the rails when we read 1-star reviews of the St. Louis Zoo, check in on sports and gambling wins (and losses), and build our Mount Rushmore of Sauces—a debate that got way more heated than expected. We wrap it up by talking how we rang in the New Year… and questioning if we did it right.New year, same chaos.

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 NBA, then we hit Today's National Days for December 30th, where Bacon Day immediately becomes the star of the show. From there, we put our brains to the test with Trivia Around the Horn, including the very important question: Does West Virginia touch the Atlantic Ocean? We react to the recent Powerball drawing, the second-largest jackpot in history, and start dreaming big. Christmas recaps follow, including Rob's strange new family addition, plus Brendan tells the story of a movie theater trip where the theater somehow forgot to start the movie. We run through the latest sports headlines, then lock in for this episode's Mount Rushmore: Sports Uniforms, with each of us picking one from the four major U.S. pro sports leagues. To close it out, we talk New Year's snack power rankings and dive into a Would You Rather that sparks one last debate. Fun episode, great conversations—jump in and join us. ️

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 into fun facts from 1959 and 1859, and then celebrate December 22nd National Days, including National Cookie Exchange Day and National Short Person's Day . Brendan and Xavi answer quick trivia questions before putting Rob's memory to the test from last episode—with mixed results. The guys get real talking about “Single Guy Sh*t”—the freedom to do whatever you want, whenever you want… and the loneliness that can come with it. Rob drops some wild Christmas stats, including how fast Santa would actually need to travel to reach every house in the world . Xavi and Rob share stories from events they worked over the weekend, recap the biggest sports headlines, and then it's time for this episode's Mount Rushmore: the best Christmas songs of all time (arguments were inevitable). We close things out with Xavi reading an AITAH Reddit story. Thanks for listening! Be sure to follow, rate, and let us know what you think

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, question the logistics of a 10-foot sub, and attempt to get into the holiday spirit. Things heat up when we build our Mount Rushmore of Christmas movies, and we wrap it up by judging strangers on the internet with a classic AITAH from Reddit. Holiday chaos, dumb debates, and zero regrets.

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 solely to make Xavi sweat. That trivia detour somehow transports us to today's national celebration: Cookie Cutter Day—which naturally sends us spiraling into a cookie-fueled tangent absolutely no one asked for. With our sugar-related confusion out of the way, we jump into Thanksgiving talk, covering turkey, traditions, and of course, the only sport that truly matters on that holiday: football, glorious football. Then comes the weekly showdown: the Mount Rushmore of TV Theme Songs. We proudly name our favorites… while undoubtedly forgetting several iconic ones and risking being yelled at in the comments. Finally, we close things out with an AITAH Reddit story involving two roommates and the eternal question: Does living together mean we're bonded for life, or are we just sharing rent until someone snaps? Thanks for listening—and seriously, let us know what you think. We probably deserve it.

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 November 10th (because who doesn't love an excuse to party for literally anything?), then swap Halloween stories. Rob officially enters his “get off my lawn” era, and that leads straight into a conversation about tattoo do's and definite don'ts (looking at you, misspelled quote tattoos ). We dive into the week's biggest sports headlines — including the Dodgers snagging the World Series — and wrap up with our Mount Rushmore of best sports endings (some chills, some tears, all iconic). To top it off, we read an AITAH story straight from Reddit about babysitting and kids' “firsts” that had us seriously debating who's in the wrong. Give it a listen, let us know your Mount Rushmore picks, and as always — Sit. Talk. Listen. Repeat.

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 life-changing? Maybe not. Will we celebrate anyway? Absolutely. The sports buffet is stacked this week: The NHL season drops the puck, and the Blues open their year tonight. Mizzou football stares down Alabama in what feels like a boss fight. And in the “wait, WHAT?” department: former NFL QB Mark Sanchez got into it with a truck driver and ended up stabbed. Forget the Butt Fumble—this is the Truck Tumble. From there we switch gears to music: Rush is back on tour next summer. The boys break down the setlists, the air drumming, and whether your uncle has already bought tickets. Our Mount Rushmore segment gets personal as we crown the top activities of your college years. Hint: it's a healthy mix of bad decisions, cheap food, and things you'll pretend you “totally planned” later in life. Finally, we wrap with a Reddit story that had us asking: was this an underreaction…or the underreaction GOAT? Episode 55 has it all—sports, chaos, rock tours, and questionable life advice. Buckle up.

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 going) to Chimichanga Day (watch where that burrito's going). Football headlines from the weekend were hot, including Mizzou's exciting win over South Carolina. Rob then shares his Cardinals baseball adventure, where he was reminded of the romance of the game and somehow bumped into one of the club's most controversial figures—sadly, no, it wasn't Fredbird. For our Mount Rushmore this week, we ranked kids' activities—everything from Hide-and-Seek to the unmatched chaos of Christmas morning made the cut. We wrapped up with Xavi's AITAH story about a boyfriend who's had it up to here with his girlfriend's “walking wardrobe.” Spoiler: he's not exactly the fashion icon he thinks he is. Thanks for listening, let us know what we missed, and tune in next time when we'll almost certainly get distracted again.

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 before. Naturally, football takes over—both NFL and college (yes, Xavi sneaks in a loud MIZ!). Then we catch up on life: Rob fills us in on his yearly Labor Day horseshoe tournament (did he win or just bend a lot of metal?), and we also talk about fundraiser events he's been part of lately. Meanwhile, Xavi recounts going out for a birthday dinner with a pretty big group—big enough for chaos, but not quite NFL roster size. Our Mount Rushmore this week? Dating Red Flags. Spoiler: if you bring a snake to the first date, you're not getting a callback. Finally, we close with an office drama dilemma—do you out a coworker who's very publicly cheating on their fiancé? Messy! Thanks for tuning in, and don't forget to chime in—because your red flag might just make next week's list.

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 help. Also, Xavi hasn't seen Back to the Future, which explains a lot. We draft our Mount Rushmore of overrated foods, and Reddit asks if roasting someone's cooking makes you the jerk… or the chef.

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 serious debate about what else is weird if it's not cut up. Then we carve out our Mount Rushmores of comedy movies, proving that yes, we will fight you over our picks. Xavi wraps it up with an “Am I the A**hole?” story from Reddit, and let's just say… we might all need to apologize to somebody after this one.

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 dive into famous athletes who rocked the number 50, because obviously that's how all life events should begin. From there, it's a splash into the National Days of July 28th, where water parks nearly drown out the conversation and milk chocolate melts our collective willpower. Then the age-old battle heats up (or freezes over?): Would you rather fight the sun or move in with a yeti? Yes, it's time for extreme heat vs extreme cold and no one leaves the debate frost-free. Just when you think it can't get any more chaotic, Xavi's Dad calls in to help us honor the legend Ozzy Osbourne... which of course leads to totally unrelated tangents, as is tradition. Then we enter the main event: an alphabetical battle royale in Athletes, Music, and Food—one letter at a time, picking the GOATs. Warning: this segment contains emotional casualties, including but not limited to potatoes, which somehow got completely disrespected and possibly unfriended. (Justice for potatoes. ✊) We finish this behemoth with a juicy AITAH Reddit post to make us feel better about our own lives, and close with a sentimental stroll down podcast memory lane—our favorite moments from the first 49 episodes over this wild year and a half ride. If you made it through this whole episode in one sitting, you deserve a trophy, a nap, and probably a chiropractor. ️ Thanks for riding with us for 50—here's to 50 more, with slightly shorter episodes (maybe).

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”) and National Tattoo Day, which spirals us into a hilarious dive into the worst tattoo trends of all time. Yes, someone somewhere really did get "No Ragrets" inked on their chest. Would YOU get a tattoo for coming in last in fantasy football? One of us might have to find out. Then Xavi brings us hard-hitting science journalism from his job: a poll asking people what galaxy Earth is in. Spoiler: humanity is doomed. We brainstorm what the next painfully simple poll question should be — it's between "Do birds have knees?" and "Is water wet?" Somehow we take a sharp left turn into the worst ways to die, which felt appropriate after hearing some of the tattoo stories. This week's Mount Rushmore: Most Embarrassing Things That Can Happen to You — prepare for secondhand shame. We wrap with a spicy AITAH from Reddit featuring a boyfriend who tried to make a joke... and maybe accidentally revealed he's just the villain in his own rom-com. Thanks for listening, and don't miss next week's big Episode 50 — unless you want that tattoo that says “I skipped the milestone episode.” Sit, Talk, and Listen — where the conversation goes everywhere, and dignity goes to die.

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 reasonable person should know. He's either got a gift or a deeply concerning amount of free time. From there, we dive into a jam-packed lineup of National Days. It's Free Slurpee Day (hydration via sugar), National Swimming Pool Day (hello, pee-filled nostalgia), World Population Day (which somehow turns into a full-on population crisis TED Talk), and both Fair Food Day and Kebab Day—basically a buffet of reasons to be sweaty and full. We also unleash another “Should Be Simple” question for Xavi to ask at work—because why not make his coworkers more confused than usual? Then we tackle the age-old question: are all fairgoers across America basically the same person wearing a different graphic tee? The St. Louis Blues dropped some news about their broadcast changes, and Kansas City radio decided to roast Patrick Mahomes' body type—which sends Xavi into an elite-tier rant. That sparks a breakdown of the most hated NFL players right now (spoiler: it's not Mahomes, but it might be someone who eats ketchup on steak). Our Mount Rushmore this week is carb heaven—Potato Foods. French fries, tots, hash browns... it's a spud spectacular. We also give some love to the “Back to the Beginning” show honoring Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath, because even the Prince of Darkness deserves some respect from a podcast recorded next to a bag of chips. We finish up with a classic AITAH read by Xavi, complete with judgment, confusion, and smelly situation. Hit follow, tell a friend, and don't forget—if you see someone eating mashed potatoes at a fair… respect them. They've seen some things.

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 light the sparkler on a list of National Days including “Made in the USA Day” (cue bald eagle screech) and “World UFO Day” (because nothing says freedom like government denial). Somewhere along the way we realize we're now closer to 2050 than to the year 2000 and have a brief existential crisis… followed immediately by asking, “What foods are actually acceptable to eat out of a bucket?” (Spoiler: Mashed potatoes? Yes. Egg salad? Absolutely not.) This week's Mount Rushmore is a red, white, and blue masterpiece—our essential 4th of July things. Fireworks, grilling, questionable tank tops? You already know. We also ask the important questions: Has the line for tolerating bad customer service been moved so far we're now tipping robots for breathing near us? And finally, in our “Am I the A-Hole?” segment, we flip the script with a “Would I Be the A-Hole If…” scenario that has us all nervously checking our moral compasses… or lack thereof. Thanks for listening! Stay safe this holiday and remember: never trust a firework that comes with “some assembly required.”

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 really have to share birthday parties forever? Plus, we check in on the NBA Finals and debate whether a championship still counts if the opposing team's best player is held together by athletic tape and prayer. Then things get hazy (literally) as we wonder: where did all the vape guys go? Did they evolve into fog machines or just become dads with back pain? And speaking of pressure, we talk about the very real mental warzone that is trying to pee in a crowded public restroom. Is it just a guy thing or are the ladies out here freeze-framing too? Our Mount Rushmore of Pixar movies will stir your childhood emotions and probably make you want to rewatch Up for the 400th time. Finally, we wrap things up with an “Am I the A-Hole?” Reddit story involving two brothers, a pool, and a call to the cops. Thanks for tuning in—don't forget to send us your Pixar picks, pee-paranoia stories, and controversial takes on Helen Keller. We're not saying she was lying… but we're also not not saying it.

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 involving Michael Jordan and frozen pizzas. We also dive into the National Days, including National Watch Day, which ironically reminded us how long it's been since our last upload. Oops. Then it's story time as we explain why we've been MIA—featuring injuries, adulting, scheduling chaos, and possibly one haunted lawnmower. To make it up to you, we go full sugar overload and drop our Mount Rushmore of Candy, where things get sticky. Spoiler: if you still like circus peanuts, seek help. We wrap it up with a heated “Am I the Asshole?” story involving a couple, phone volume at night, and the sound of petty revenge echoing through the apartment walls. Grab your earbuds and get comfy—Episode 45 is sweet, salty, and slightly louder than it should be.

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 essential holidays: National Cheese Day and Hug Your Cat Day, which naturally leads to Rob recounting how his nocturnal feline turned his week into a sleepless cat-and-mouse game. The crew then gets crunchy with their Mount Rushmore of Breakfast Cereals, and let's just say—some of these picks might make Tony the Tiger file a defamation suit. Finally, we wrap up with an Am I The Asshole? story that will leave you wondering if etiquette is dead—or just in a coma. Spoiler: it's all grrr-eat. Tune in and treat your ears to 44 flavors of ridiculousness.

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 take a moment to reflect on May 29th—possibly the worst date on the calendar—and go full medieval thanks to one of today's national holidays: End of the Middle Ages Day. Cue a wildly educational yet deeply unserious discussion about the plague. Yes, we made it weird. Again. Rob reveals a recent situation where being too convincing totally backfired, and Xavi shares a wild story from the park involving a suspicious situation, a police call, and a bystander who was clearly more interested in racking up TikTok views than helping. Then we recap our Memorial Day weekends (spoiler: nobody was arrested), before diving into this week's Mount Rushmore—our picks for the top music album catalogs of all time. Expect hot takes, questionable rankings, and exactly zero agreement. We close out with an “Am I The Asshole?” Reddit post that sparks some debate, followed by our signature Errors and Omissions segment where we admit to the various ways we messed up last week. Growth! Thanks for sitting, talking, and listening—don't forget to chime in and let us know your Mount Rushmore of albums… or whether we are the assholes.

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 dive into today's National Days, which include everything from obscure snack celebrations to reasons to call off work for "mental health" (aka National Turtle Day). Things take a serious turn as we break down the devastating tornado that recently tore through St. Louis. We share what happened, how it's affected the community, and what recovery efforts are underway. Next up: a week in review. Spoiler alert—Ryan Clark sucks, and Jim Irsay was rich! Finally, we go full beverage nerd and unveil our Mount Rushmores of Non-Alcoholic Drinks. From fizzy favorites to nostalgic sips, you'll laugh, you'll disagree, and you will want a Capri Sun. Thanks for sitting, talking, and listening. Catch you next week—same time, same mic.

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 into the vault of our very first music purchases. (Spoiler alert: someone's still defending that Baha Men album.) We also swap stories from our Mother's Day weekends, including brunch disasters, flower mix-ups, and why Mom still has better Wi-Fi than you. Then we get sporty (look at us adulting) and talk about Jayson Tatum's injury, because nothing says "family bonding" like collective sports panic. Last week's pet peeves? They followed us. In public. Loudly. We give real-life examples that prove the universe is listening... and trolling us. Finally, we crown our Mount Rushmore of Small Victories—those tiny wins that feel like Olympic gold, including finding matching socks, dodging a Zoom call, and peeling off a parking sticker in one clean go. Pure euphoria. Thanks for listening, and don't forget to like, comment, and send us your own small victories (or first cringe music buys—we're all friends here). *Writting using ChatGPT*

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 on the fly. (National Eat-Your-Feelings Day? Oh wait, that was us.) Then we dive headfirst into the emotional wreckage of the Blues' gut-wrenching Game 7 playoff exit. It's raw, it's real, and yes, there may be dramatic sighing involved. We also take a hard look at the Mega Millions lottery ticket price hike. Because apparently chasing financial delusion now costs more than our dignity. Somewhere between that and being called “buddy” by strangers, we nearly lose our minds. To wrap things up, we each present our Mount Rushmore of Pet Peeves — a deeply personal, deeply petty exercise that turns into group therapy with a dash of chaos. Spoiler alert: chewing with your mouth open is a war crime. Thanks for listening to Sit, Talk, and Listen — we appreciate you lending us your ears (and your patience). If this episode made you laugh, nod in furious agreement, or want to scream into the void with us, go ahead and leave a comment or review. It helps more than a Mega Millions win — and it's free. Catch you next week!

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 debate if 100 average dudes could take down a gorilla in a fair fight. (Spoiler: they can't.) Finally, we each reveal our Mount Rushmore of animals—because nothing says “quality content” like comparing dolphins to house cats. Thanks for listening! Smash that subscribe button, leave a comment, and tell us who's on your animal Mount Rushmore.

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 celebrate April 21st's very real National Days, including Big Word Day (where we fake sounding smart) and Surprise Drug Test Day. We throw in some rapid-fire sports reactions from the past week, keeping it spicy and mildly inaccurate, and then Xavi dons his metaphorical wrestling singlet to break down the body-slamming madness of WrestleMania 41. To close things out, we each carve out our personal "Mount Rushmore" of historically important figures from the last century—so expect a mix of brilliance, chaos, and one very questionable pick. Thanks for tuning in! Don't forget to subscribe, leave a review, and join the conversation—especially if you're ready to shame Xavi into finally watching School of Rock.

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 honor of April 15th. (Spoiler: None of them involve refunds.) Then we slide into a sporty little segment, catching up on The Masters tournament, where people hit tiny balls very far, very gracefully, and then whisper about it. Riveting. Rob takes us on a journey from his latest gig out of town, which somehow included a $82 Taco Bell order (yes, you read that right—no one should have that much Baja Blast). Was it a party or a one-man food heist? You'll have to listen to find out. Meanwhile, Xavi shares a truly awkward moment from a recent outing. It involves public spaces and the kind of social discomfort that makes you wish for the sweet embrace of invisibility. We wrap things up on a crunchy high note by building our Mount Rushmore of Chips—because nothing says “deep thinkers” like debating between Doritos and Pringles. (And yes, we'll reveal next episode's Mount Rushmore topic, so bring your A-game.) Thanks for lending us your ears—be sure to drop your chip picks or spicy hot takes in the comments. See you next week for more talking, sitting, and, ideally, listening.

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 definitely don't do housework. Then, we slide into the world of sports, as we marvel at the St. Louis Blues' unbelievable winning streak. Seriously, we didn't think this was possible, but hey, it's St. Louis—anything can happen. Meanwhile, we break down the chaos of the NCAA National Championship. Was it a buzzer-beater? Was it a heart attack waiting to happen? We'll give you all the drama, minus the actual athletic talent. We're here for the headlines, not the game-winning shots. Now, things get really interesting as we dive into the ultimate showdown: Waffle House vs. "normal" restaurants. Is the Waffle House truly a chaotic, magical experience? Or is it just a place where you need a seatbelt to survive the drama? And for the grand finale, we put our fast food knowledge to the test with our Mouth Rushmore of Fast Food Joints. This episode isn't just for food lovers—it's for anyone who's ever asked, “What's the best fry in the game?” (Hint: It's probably not from that sad little place you went to last Tuesday). We rank the heavy hitters like the champs we are, and things get... spicy. Tune in for laughs, questionable opinions, and all the drama you didn't know you needed in your life.

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 where you're sitting). Messi vs. Ronaldo? You bet! Real Madrid vs. Barcelona? Absolutely. But wait, we also dig into today's National Day, March 31st, because who doesn't love celebrating obscure holidays (spoiler: there are a few too many of them). We then take a detour for a bit of tales from the server's table as Xavi dishes out the kind of behind-the-scenes stories that you definitely won't find on Yelp. Think of it as your personal tour of the chaos that is serving… but with more sauce. And for those of you missing out on Rob's antics, don't worry! He breaks down his recent gig AND gets caught up on all things WWE, from the epic to the utterly ridiculous. So grab your earphones, sit back, and let us know in the comments where you stand on our soccer rivalry rankings (no, seriously, we're dying to know). Enjoy the show, and don't forget to rate us five stars or, you know, do your best “heel turn” and leave us a not-so-great review. But please make it funny.

In this episode, we catch up on everything that's happened since our last recording, diving into a series of fun and interesting "national" days happening on March 24th. After that, Xavi gives us an update on the latest from the world of WWE, while also trying to figure out why Rob just can't get into watching wrestling. The discussion gets lively as they explore the spectacle of the WWE universe. Then, the conversation shifts to college basketball, where we talk about the Missouri Tigers getting knocked out of the NCAA tournament. This leads to an exciting debate on the Mount Rushmore of College Basketball Rivalries, where we each weigh in on which historic matchups belong in the elite tier. It's an episode full of sports talk, wrestling analysis, and fun moments! Does this work for you?

Welcome to Take Two! After our first attempt at recording was cut short by an unexpected tech meltdown (classic, right?), we're back for round two, determined to bring you the goods! Xavi kicks things off with another wild round of “Tales from the Server's Table,” sharing some serious drama that went down behind the scenes. It's like a soap opera, but with more keyboards and coffee. Rob then takes us on a journey through his recent school function adventure. Spoiler: It wasn't the PTA meeting you'd expect. Somehow, chaos followed him like a bad smell, and we're here for every second of it. Next, Xavi brings us the latest WWE gossip. Who's throwing down, who's making moves, and who's just plain drama? We've got the inside scoop. Then, we get into a serious discussion about subscriptions. What have we canceled? What do we keep paying for, but never use? We're looking at you, over 85% of people who pay for things you don't even remember signing up for. And finally, we wrap things up with a heated debate over the Mount Rushmore of NHL rivalries. We've got some strong opinions on who makes the cut, and things get spicy. Thanks for hanging out with us through the chaos! Let us know what you think of today's episode—we'd love to hear your thoughts on all the things we talked about.

In this week's episode, we dive headfirst into the most shocking heel turn of the century – John Cena has flipped the script on us! We break down his latest antics and decide if this heartbreak is too much for wrestling fans to handle. Then, we tackle the important questions: What makes a housemate truly annoying? We dissect a recent survey listing the 12 most irritating roommate habits, and let's just say… leaving dishes in the sink might just be the least of your problems. ️ Xavi takes the reins for this week's Mount Rushmore and brings us an epic breakdown of NBA rivalries. Will he go classic or get wild with some unexpected picks? Tune in to find out! As always, we want YOU to be part of the conversation! Drop your comments and tell us which NBA rivalries would make your Mount Rushmore, or maybe which roommate habit you just can't stand.

This week, we kick things off with Xavi's wild Tales from the Server's Table on National Margarita Day, where he shares some hilarious stories from behind the bar. Rob then takes us on a trip down memory lane with a recap of a gig that was nothing short of a disaster — chaos, laughs, and questionable decisions all around. We also dive into the topic of people becoming full-on problems when they've had one too many drinks in public. Then, we're intrigued by the mysterious art of Smoke Signals from the Vatican, proving that the Pope might just have a better communication system than the rest of us. After that, we get into the NHL 4 Nations Hockey Tournament, because who doesn't love some international hockey drama? Finally, we wrap things up with this week's Mount Rushmore of NFL Rivalries, where we debate the fiercest matchups in football history. Things get heated, so grab a drink and buckle up — it's another wild ride!

Buckle up, folks—this episode is a wild ride. We kick things off by reflecting on last week's absolute disaster of a recording, which happened to take place in the middle of Rob's bachelor party. Spoiler alert: it involved questionable life choices. Then, we shift gears to the Super Bowl, breaking down the big game, the best (and worst) commercials, and Kendrick Lamar's halftime show, which left us debating whether it was legendary or just a little too artistic for the football crowd. Since love is in the air (or at least on the calendar), we sprinkle in some Valentine's Day facts—because nothing says romance like learning that the holiday's origins are way weirder than anyone expected. And finally, we wrap things up by carving out our Mount Rushmore of MLB Rivalries. Yankees vs. Red Sox? Dodgers vs. Giants? Did we go full baseball purist, or did someone sneak in something ridiculous? Tune in to find out. It's an episode packed with sports, shenanigans, and just enough chaos to make you question our life choices—so grab a drink and enjoy the show!

This episode was recorded on Feb.8, 2025 when the boys got together to celebrate Payroll Robs upcoming wedding.

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 debate—why do Americans love football but yawn at soccer? And why does the rest of the world think we're the weird ones? Next, we dive into the rock 'n' roll soap opera that was Eric Clapton and George Harrison's friendship—because nothing says “brotherhood” like borrowing each other's guitars…and wives. Finally, we carve out our own Mount Rushmore of sports rivalries, starting with the biggest grudge matches in college football. Which face-offs make the cut? And which ones get left in the locker room? All that, plus our usual nonsense, questionable takes, and a few moments that might get us canceled. Thanks for listening! ️

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 house cleaning habits—our own routines (or lack thereof) and what people across America tend to do to keep their homes tidy. It's an everyday topic that, somehow, always sparks interesting conversations. Then it's time for sports! We break down the college football championship game, sharing our thoughts on the game's biggest moments and overall takeaways.

From there, we dive into the gridiron glory of the college football playoffs and preview the championship game like seasoned pros. Naturally, that spirals into NFL playoff drama, complete with a juicy story about a Philadelphia fan who's clearly repping "unruly" as their personal brand.

Trust us, you don't want to miss this one!

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 Payroll's wedding around the corner, we dive into wedding talk: the numbers, the drama, and why nobody ever wants to sit at Table 12. This naturally spirals into our "Mount Rushmore" of wedding things—yes, open bars made the cut—and our favorite songs to get the dance floor popping (hint: Shout is still undefeated). Next up, we take a hard pivot into the unexpected musical world of LiAngelo Ball, whose latest track gave us serious 2005 vibes. Is he the next Nelly? Probably not. But it's worth discussing. Then, it's football time! We tackle (pun intended) the College Football Playoffs, recent games, and why Parker Jones is the player you didn't know you needed to care about. From there, we break down the NFL playoffs and grill Xavi on his preseason predictions—spoiler alert: he's either psychic or really good at pretending he meant to be wrong.
