  • Chit Chat 182 New House, Old Stories: UTIs, Hamnet, and Buffalo Wings
    Dec 19 2025

    Recording from the old home base, the hosts warn listeners about potential canine interruptions from Abraham. (Because what's a podcast without some authentic background noise?) They share updates about their busy weeks, from campus walks to Friday night adventures in Lockport trying the massive Stinger burger—a Buffalo specialty combining steak, chicken fingers, and blue cheese. At Gonzo's, drinks still cost just $3.50, making them wonder why anyone would ever leave such an affordable area.

    The conversation takes a more personal turn when discussing health scares, including an unexpected UTI that struck during a work orientation. They also dive into their weekend activities: wrapping Christmas presents with cocktails, attending a 50th birthday party with rugby players and an open bar, and binge-watching the series Wayward. What did they think about the show's depiction of institutional control versus cult dynamics?

  • Chit Chat 180 Holiday Break, Strip Steaks, and Broadway Magic
    Nov 28 2025

    Ever feel like you're running on empty? Sam and Jeff are finally taking that much-needed break, with Sam jetting off to the Dominican Republic for some well-deserved rest (because apparently saying you'll take breaks and actually taking them are two different things).

    But before the vacation, there was Miles' birthday dinner at Prescott Provisions. The strip steaks with roasted fingerling potatoes were excellent, and the brown butter pistachio cake with sea salt caramel gelato? Memorable. Though the server's oddly dismissive attitude did put a damper on the evening.

    Between falling asleep during the Bills game and a weekend of pure junk food indulgence—mac and cheese, pizza, Doritos, the works—they somehow squeezed in two gym sessions and caught a Buffalo Sabres hockey game where the team actually scored. From theater talk about how Broadway's Wicked outshines the movie to praising the turkey club wrap at Wellington Pub, this week was packed. They also dive into some compelling entertainment recommendations, including the documentary Girl in the Picture and the Netflix series The Beast in Me starring Claire Danes.
