In this milestone 40th episode, we let it all out — because sometimes you just need to rant into a microphone for an hour and call it content.

We begin, as always, with a tour through today's “National Days,” including celebrations so oddly specific, we're convinced someone's just making them up on the fly. (National Eat-Your-Feelings Day? Oh wait, that was us.)

Then we dive headfirst into the emotional wreckage of the Blues' gut-wrenching Game 7 playoff exit. It's raw, it's real, and yes, there may be dramatic sighing involved.

We also take a hard look at the Mega Millions lottery ticket price hike. Because apparently chasing financial delusion now costs more than our dignity. Somewhere between that and being called “buddy” by strangers, we nearly lose our minds.

To wrap things up, we each present our Mount Rushmore of Pet Peeves — a deeply personal, deeply petty exercise that turns into group therapy with a dash of chaos. Spoiler alert: chewing with your mouth open is a war crime.

Thanks for listening to Sit, Talk, and Listen — we appreciate you lending us your ears (and your patience). If this episode made you laugh, nod in furious agreement, or want to scream into the void with us, go ahead and leave a comment or review. It helps more than a Mega Millions win — and it's free.

Catch you next week!
