  • 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.

  • Chit Chat 178 Bloated TV, Speed Dating Disasters, and Viral Charity TikToks
    Nov 14 2025

    Surprisingly, the speakers found themselves enjoying a lighthearted college comedy about cheerleading despite their usual preference for heavier content. The new Peacock mockumentary Stumble follows a protagonist struggling to build a cheerleading squad at Hedleston (a name she can't quite pronounce) with a ragtag group that includes a talented tumbler who happens to have narcolepsy. The lead actress from Claws brings strong comedic timing to the role, and there's even a subplot about her husband, a former football star whose traumatic brain injury causes short-term memory loss, leading to him celebrating his birthday repeatedly.

    Beyond their lighter viewing, the speakers dove into darker territory with boxing biopic Christy, starring Sydney Sweeney as boxer Christy Martin navigating self-acceptance as a lesbian. They also tackled All Her Fault on Peacock, though they felt the ten-episode length unnecessarily stretched the story. (They really do have strong opinions about bloated miniseries.) The conversation wandered through their week's activities—from working a memorable speed dating event at a bar to winning big at a meat raffle with four steaks, four lobster tails, and stuffed pork chops for just 120 dollars.

  • Chit Chat 177 Copy Mama June, Dental Fears, and a Cannabis Scare
    Nov 7 2025

    Mama June's $10 weight loss wisdom might not be worth even that. When Jeff gifted a Cameo featuring the reality star dispensing advice about yogurt and cottage cheese while appearing less than put-together, the recipient couldn't help but question her claim about wearing a medium size. (Talk about suspicious.) The whole experience sparked a plan to send discounted celebrity videos as Christmas gifts, though premium options from shows like Gilmore Girls and Grey's Anatomy remain stubbornly expensive at over $200.

    Have you noticed how everything costs more these days? From drag shows to meat raffles, entertainment prices have gotten completely unreasonable. Even dental care is breaking the bank—after a periodontist recommended an extra cleaning to monitor jaw surgery recovery, one speaker admitted they'll probably reschedule multiple times before actually showing up. In the entertainment world, Black Phone 2 delivered more supernatural elements than its predecessor but didn't quite measure up overall, while a casual baby shower at Delaware revealed how modern celebrations skip traditional games entirely.

    The week's wildest moment? A marijuana experience gone so wrong that it ended with severe dizziness, vision problems, and a permanent goodbye to cannabis. After eventually recovering with candy and games, the next day brought a too-difficult Pilates class with Nettie—walking to the Bean proved much more manageable.

  • Chit Chat 176: 4:48 AM Flights, Formula One Suits, and Fashion Sneaker Hikes
    Oct 31 2025

    Ever wonder what happens when you wear a provocative racing suit labeled "Foreplay" to a one-year-old's birthday party? This episode delivers exactly that kind of chaotic energy as the speaker recounts their whirlwind weekend adventure.

    The journey begins with an ungodly 4:48 AM flight to Washington D.C., followed by day-drinking wine instead of hitting the gym, and helping friends create elaborate Halloween costumes involving planets and sashes. The weekend escalates with awkward steam room encounters at a trendy gay gym, defending questionable outfit choices at a child's party, and somehow ending up on an intense hiking adventure in fashion sneakers.

    Between the laughs, there are moments of reflection on serious topics like campus shootings during Howard University's homecoming weekend, showing how tragedy has become disturbingly normalized. The episode also touches on political tensions when visiting friends with unexpected Trump memorabilia decorating their homes.

  • Chit Chat 175 Hail Murray Memories and Million Dollar Pitches
    Oct 24 2025

    This week, the hosts reflect on how sobriety has sharpened social skills—especially during politically charged family dinners. Listener feedback reveals remote work has made them “chattier and kinder,” while Bills watch parties and a missed “Hail Murray” moment add some sports drama.

    They explore generational quirks in the workplace, courthouse confusion over traffic fines, and a birthday trip to Ellicott City. Plus, a chaotic pitch competition leads to unexpected floor seats and five startups winning $1 million each.

    From toddlers roughhousing puppies to shifting adult perspectives, this episode captures the messy, meaningful moments of modern life.

    Tune in for honest reflections, unexpected laughs, and real-world growth.
