Living Room Rivalry

Living Room Rivalry

Welcome to Living Room Rivalry, the podcast where a sports-obsessed son and his opinionated mom turn their couch debates into a weekly show. Riley, a 20-year-old stats fanatic, lives for analytics and trends, while Stacy brings the culture, heart, and a lifelong love for the game. From football and basketball to baseball, and sometimes even soccer, and everything in between, they deliver bold takes, playful arguments, and the occasional moment of agreement. If you love passionate sports talk with a family twist, you’re in the right place.
