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.
