  • Chit Chat 199: Messy Margaret Stole My Soul
    Apr 24 2026

    This week’s episode is pure chaos in the best way: Toronto concerts, creepy drag queens, queer emo night, $27 Five Guys meals, and a funeral‑party bar rush all collide before we even get to the new‑job meltdown. Jeff battles chatty coworkers, Outlook disasters, and a hockey‑obsessed stranger, while Sam survives a disastrous date night, a 3 AM airport run, and the worst musical she’s ever seen. Add in Finger Lakes drama‑free bliss, book rants, Bravo betrayals, and Real Housewives of Rhode Island insanity, and you’ve got a full‑throttle catch‑up you won’t want to miss.

    Soft life dreams, hard life realities, and unhinged storytelling — welcome to Chit Chat 199.

  • Chit Chat 198: The Miles Mix‑Up & Other Mental Spirals
    Apr 17 2026

    Sam and Jeff are back with a week full of unhinged chaos. Sam realizes she’s been texting the wrong “Miles” for two months, Jeff has a full‑body bad high at movie night, and both spiral into “do we have dementia?” territory.

    We’ve got golf disasters, meat raffle victories, Dateline heartbreak, a surprise home‑cooked dinner after a massive text misunderstanding, and a bachelor‑party koozie featuring “Samantha Roxy” found next to the bed (“VIP adult entertainer… call me when you need a good time” ). It’s messy, it’s relatable, it’s Chit Chat.

  • 2000s Worship Nostalgia and Easter Reconciliation
    Apr 10 2026

    Rarely does one episode pack in a hotel epiphany, a twerking contest, and a Summer House betrayal all in the same breath. This week's conversation covers a genuinely chaotic stretch of life, and it's hard to look away from any of it.

    The episode opens with a deep dive into 2000s worship music, including a memorable discovery of "He Will Raise You Up on Eagle's Wings" during a hotel stay in Cleveland. From there, things get personal fast. Cameron keeps coming home late on Fridays without warning

    This week's episode also included a trip to Hamilton, Canada for a Cardi B concert with Miles, a cooking class where tiramisu was made with Chef Camille, and Easter dinner featuring prosciutto-spinach-provolone stuffed chicken. The week was full, genuinely full.

    Tune in for the whole story.
