    "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 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.

    "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 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.

    "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 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.

    "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 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.

    "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 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.

    "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 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.

    "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 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. ️

    "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 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
