Sam and Jeff dive into a wildly entertaining catch‑up session that spans a destination wedding in San José del Cabo, unexpected yacht drama, surprise LGBTQ plot twists, and a weekend full of sun, whales, karaoke, and chaos. Their stories weave through bar mishaps, awkward encounters, hidden hotel romances, and a hilariously tense cab ride—all while one friend navigates sobriety with grace and grit. Back home, the conversation spirals into comedy‑club disasters, rugby‑bar mayhem, Super Bowl re...
A Weekend of Taco Frustrations, Family Birthdays, and Grammy Opinions Why is it so hard to just swap one taco for another? Jeff's weekend started with a frustrating Friday night at a Mexican restaurant where the server refused to let them substitute a fish taco into their chorizo and steak trio selection. (Seriously, how hard can it be?) The weekend that followed was packed with celebrations: birthday gatherings for both Mike at Tees and Taps and Marie at Jen's, complete with virtual golf, en...
After months of procrastination, Jeff finally books their Seattle trip, saving Sam from having to tell everyone it was canceled (again). But the relief is short-lived when they dive into the chaos that is TSA PreCheck. Sam recounts a maddening Orlando airport experience where security staff couldn't agree on whether he actually had PreCheck status, forcing him through both lines. Why do airlines make us manually enter those TSA numbers every single time? The conversation takes an unexpected m...
What happens when a shattered urinal becomes the secret you take to your grave? Sam and Jeff dive into the week's biggest celebrity drama, starting with Kyle and Amanda's Summer House divorce. Sam pulls no punches about Kyle's infidelity and treatment of Amanda (who's finally breaking free). The conversation then shifts to Brooklyn Beckham's family tensions with Victoria and David, including claims about a ruined wedding that led to secret vow renewals without family present. From celebrity g...
Sam's been experiencing headaches, tingling in their extremities, and persistent fatigue. The culprit? Could seven cans of high-mercury albacore tuna weekly for three months straight be it? With help from their nurse friend Evangeline, they self-diagnosed mercury poisoning and have since stopped the tuna habit (though they admit it's been challenging). Sam actually had elevated mercury levels as a child from similar tuna consumption, making this a recurring pattern worth noting. Could co...
Ever wonder what happens when a bartender offers you tequila after nearly five years of sobriety? Jeff and Sam are back with "Chit Chat Bitches," serving up their unfiltered holiday recap that's equal parts heartwarming and chaotic. From restaurant drama to stadium tears, this episode has it all. Jeff reflects on his reputation for being direct with staff (he's "softened in old age," apparently), while recounting a New Year's Eve shift that tested his patience. The weekend adventures escalate...
Surprisingly, reflecting on personal growth during New Year's resolutions can reveal just how much you've changed (and how much you haven't). Sam admits she's become more compassionate over the past year but still catches herself being judgmental toward certain people, a relatable struggle for anyone trying to improve themselves. The holiday season brought its share of mishaps. After specifically requesting only a Kindle for Christmas, Sam received cash instead, which technically covered the ...
So here's a wild week: one host nearly dies from kidney stones while the other rediscovers that teaching online is actually better than in-person classes. Sam and Jeff start by hilariously "canceling" loyal listener Margaret O'Brien for the ultimate betrayal, mentioning a rival podcast in her Christmas card. (She's now officially "Maga Margaret Minaj.") The conversation takes a dark turn when one host recounts waking up at 3 AM in excruciating pain, rushing to the emergency room where a PA li...
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. ...
From EDM beach parties to casino chaos, this episode dives into the hilarious highs and messy lows of an all-inclusive resort trip. Between silent discos, parasailing fails, and unexpected cat encounters, the crew finds themselves partying hard, puking harder, and laughing through it all. Packed with outrageous stories, awkward run-ins, and tequila-fueled adventures, it’s the ultimate vacation recap you didn’t know you needed. Tune in for pure resort madness and unforgettable late-night...
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. Tho...
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 hus...
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 exp...
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 ...
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 startup...

This episode captures the beautifully chaotic rhythm of modern life as two friends navigate everything from unbearable heat waves to therapy-induced pressure to "give back." The conversation weaves through weekly adventures including awkward movie dates, mysterious bar customers, family obligations disguised as "help," and the eternal struggle of maintaining fitness routines in sweltering weather.
Ever wondered what happens when you try to give constructive feedback to someone with an ASMR voice while dealing with a painful dental hygienist named Caitlin? This episode serves up a delightfully chaotic mix of public speaking anxiety, healthcare frustrations, and weekend shenanigans.
This episode delivers a delightfully chaotic mix of everyday frustrations and apocalyptic humor. The hosts dive into their return-to-office woes, with Jeff hilariously describing their twice-weekly visits to an empty building where their only human interaction is with Krista, the cheerful cleaning lady. The conversation takes an unexpected turn as they discuss following Sam's dive into "rapture TikToks" and joking about drinking to mark failed apocalyptic predictions, creating a perfect blend...
