Chit Chat 208 Medically Fragile Dog, Emotionally Fragile Owner 10.07.2026 33:40
This episode is basically a leadership seminar, a workplace comedy, and a suburban fever dream all rolled into one. Jeff and Sam kick things off with their signature greeting — “Good morning, good evening, good afternoon.” — before spiraling into a full TED Talk on time zones, student life, supervising adults who act like toddlers, and why admitting your mistakes is the ultimate flex .
Chit Chat 207 Schnitzel Happens: A Barefoot Prayer & A Boat Full of Lies 03.07.2026 42:23
This week’s episode is a full‑body journey : resurrected dogs, schnitzel scandals, hotel insomnia, THC‑induced game-night paralysis, NHL drafts featuring confused celebrities, barefoot golf, rich‑people pools, lying toddlers, drunken Taco Bell revelations, and a boat that may or may not have been on fire.

This week on Chit Chat , Jeff and Sam return after a whopping 72 hours apart to unpack a weekend filled with bad TV, worse movies, chaotic brunch energy, and enough egg‑roll confusion to qualify as a psychological thriller .

Chit Chat 204: Lesbian Palooza, Edible Delusions & Summer House Delirium 03.06.2026 44:18
Two weeks off and somehow we lived nine lives. Sam kicks things off with her annual pilgrimage to Lesbian Palooza , where it rained nonstop, the cabin had the insulation of a cardboard box, and she nearly froze to death but taking tequila shots at 9 AM helped. An edible later sent her into a silent spiritual journey while the lesbians assumed she was dying. (She was not. She was vibing.) The she s...
Chit Chat 203: Heat Waves, Hot Takes & Home Improvement Hell 22.05.2026 46:27
Buffalo is melting, Sam is feral about central air, and Cameron is one thermostat decision away from being served papers. Jeff shows up for emotional support, Dairy Queen, and eventually $60 worth of Taco Bell because self‑control is for people without DoorDash. Sam spends the weekend walking approximately 4000 miles around Delaware Park (by choice??), wins half a butcher shop at a meat raffle, an...
Chit Chat 202 Bloody Marys, Bad Customers & Robot Murder 15.05.2026 41:30
Get in, we’re oversharing. This week on Chit Chat , we’re serving up everything from chaotic restaurant horror stories (yes, the “we close at 9 but we’ll just stay until 10:30” crowd 🙄) to wholesome but slightly unhinged grandma nostalgia featuring gum stashes, baked goods, and existential questions about whether TikTok ruined our ability to be productive. Oh, and don’t worry we also spiral (casu...
Chit Chat 201: Devil Wears Prada 2… and We Wear Patience 08.05.2026 47:25
This week’s episode is a full buffet of chaos, delusion, and questionable taste. Jeff and Sam kick things off by absolutely not agreeing on Devil Wears Prada 2, Sam fell asleep mid‑plot, Jeff is ready to nominate Meryl for sainthood, and both of them are convinced the other has the cinematic taste of a damp sock. From there, Jeff recounts his luxury‑priced mocktail, a steak that needed 24 hours to...

Episode 200 is here, and Jeff and Sam show up like two people who absolutely should not have a platform… yet somehow do.

A surprise rainstorm frees him from manual labor and launches him straight into a six‑person “party” (read:...
Chit Chat 199: Messy Margaret Stole My Soul 24.04.2026 51:11

Chit Chat 196 Coffee at Home and Strip Club Athletics: A Week of Buffalo Adventures 03.04.2026 39:41
Rarely does a single conversation cover airport runs at 3 a.m., stomach bugs, Easter Markets, and a spontaneous strip club visit, but here we are. This episode is a genuine slice of life, messy and entertaining in equal measure. Honestly, the week described here is a lot. Sam drove Cameron to the airport before dawn, then spent hours scrubbing down the bathroom after a stomach bug. Meanwhile, Jeff...

Ever wondered what happens when gelato meets a Ferris wheel? Sam and Jeff are back after their Seattle adventure, and honestly, this trip had everything.

A Weekend of Taco Frustrations, Family Birthdays, and Grammy Opinions Why is it so hard to just swap one taco for another?

Chit Chat 188 Seattle Trip Booked, TSA Troubles, and Kidney Stones 30.01.2026 38:08
After months of procrastination, Jeff finally books their Seattle trip, saving Sam from having to tell everyone it was canceled (again).

Chit Chat 186 Mercury Tuna, Medical Mix-ups, and Dog-Sitting Drama 16.01.2026 42:07
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?

Sam actually had elevated mercury...

Chit Chat 184 Holiday Mishaps, Masterclass Mix-ups. Happy Birthday Rachel in Ohio! 02.01.2026 48:51
Surprisingly, reflecting on personal growth during New Year's resolutions can reveal just how much you've changed (and how much you haven't).
