"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 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.

"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 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 ️

"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.
