Recorded July 11th, 2025 – This week, the pod is wired—literally. We kick things off by playing with our brand-new tech upgrade, which means you might actually hear us clearly now (you're welcome). Then it's time to test Xavi's sports brain as he shockingly rattles off more #48s than any reasonable person should know. He's either got a gift or a deeply concerning amount of free time.

From there, we dive into a jam-packed lineup of National Days. It's Free Slurpee Day (hydration via sugar), National Swimming Pool Day (hello, pee-filled nostalgia), World Population Day (which somehow turns into a full-on population crisis TED Talk), and both Fair Food Day and Kebab Day—basically a buffet of reasons to be sweaty and full.

We also unleash another “Should Be Simple” question for Xavi to ask at work—because why not make his coworkers more confused than usual? Then we tackle the age-old question: are all fairgoers across America basically the same person wearing a different graphic tee?

The St. Louis Blues dropped some news about their broadcast changes, and Kansas City radio decided to roast Patrick Mahomes' body type—which sends Xavi into an elite-tier rant. That sparks a breakdown of the most hated NFL players right now (spoiler: it's not Mahomes, but it might be someone who eats ketchup on steak).

Our Mount Rushmore this week is carb heaven—Potato Foods. French fries, tots, hash browns... it's a spud spectacular. We also give some love to the “Back to the Beginning” show honoring Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath, because even the Prince of Darkness deserves some respect from a podcast recorded next to a bag of chips.

We finish up with a classic AITAH read by Xavi, complete with judgment, confusion, and smelly situation.

Hit follow, tell a friend, and don't forget—if you see someone eating mashed potatoes at a fair… respect them. They've seen some things.
