004 The Boohole Sep 24, 2026

Show notes

Some people visit a haunted attraction to be scared. Robb visits one and learns industry terminology—specifically, the “boohole,” the hidden alcove where a scare actor waits to ruin your evening.

In Episode 004, Robb takes Josh inside a Halloween Haunt preview packed with fog machines, monsters, candy apples, suspiciously enthusiastic influencers, and enough booholes to make anyone reconsider throwing a reflexive punch. The guys also imagine retired baseball legend Albert “Boohole,” debate the proper use of a no-scare necklace, and make plans to resurrect the turkey-leg challenge.

Then the conversation escapes the maze. Josh samples Season 35 of Dancing with the Stars, the guys pitch “Dancing with the Founders” for the final TMOS cruise, and Robb discovers a Wonka reality competition so bad he cannot stop watching it. There is also a well-earned Hall of Fame induction for founding listener Jolene White, a full-volume rendition of “Copacabana” performed for free sandwich-shop cookies, and an urgent debate over enormous holiday decorations—including a 40-foot teddy bear and the inseparable Miser Brothers.

It’s monsters, television, free cookies, questionable landscaping, and one unforgettable piece of haunted-house vocabulary. Watch the shadows. Mind the alcoves. There may be a boohole nearby.

#3713: Pat Nixon Sep 23, 2026

Show notes

Cary’s birthday is here, and Robb celebrates with T-bones, a professionally engineered bread pudding, a freshly detailed car, and one tire-pressure light that has apparently been living its own private life. Mike gets serious about a disturbing immigration video before the boys return to the safer waters of presidential documentaries, fun First Ladies, and the unexpectedly useful phrase “Pat Nixon.” Then an airline nightmare gives that phrase a whole new meaning—and makes a free upgrade to first class seem like the bare minimum. Mike’s snake tastes freedom, a finger monkey becomes the pet nobody needs, and Florida neighborhood paranoia reaches beautifully antisocial new heights. Plus, Robb prepares for eye surgery by dating every medical form with Cary’s 1968 birthday and placing his future vision in the capable digital hands of a scheduling app named Robert.

#3712: Are You The Father? Sep 22, 2026

Show notes

The show begins with a heartfelt message for beloved TMOS family member Jolene White as she takes on the fight of her life. Mike then delivers the full report on Michael’s fish-hook emergency, featuring an urgent care that apparently does not “do fish hooks,” an ER metal detector, and three separate people asking whether Mike was really the father. The hook finally comes out after some lidocaine, a tiny scalpel, and several determined yanks—and, most importantly, both the son and the treasured lure survive. Robb unveils his unsettling AI family album, placing present-day relatives beside their younger selves and aging Michael decades into the future for a father-son golf photo nobody requested. Plus, the boys meet AI Chip, investigate a Florida drone-related murder plot, expose Belichick’s four-upright trick, mourn melting football cleats, preview the Norm Macdonald documentary, and watch a trumpet player rescue the national anthem when his instrument gives up.

#3711: Hooked Sep 21, 2026

Show notes

Mike begins the show without running water after forgetting the bill, inspiring Robb and Josh to check their own utilities before the entire neighborhood goes dry. Then Michael steps on a fishing lure past the barb, and Mike abandons the studio for urgent care while the boys keep the broadcast afloat with Captain Hook songs and extremely unqualified medical advice. Robb and Josh use the emergency downtime to debate nameless neighbors, AI-powered memory aids, and whether adults have stolen Halloween by declaring “spooky season” before summer is technically over. Mike checks in from the waiting room as tales of giant lawn spiders, Disney’s Halloween crowds, expensive popcorn, and the Liberty Tree Tavern turn the show into a very unusual family field trip. Plus, an Elvis impersonator creates a cape-and-ticket-price crisis, the Cardiac Commanders break hearts again, and everyone learns that fish hooks, water bills, and professional football are all designed to keep you from getting away.

TMOS Classic: September 18, 2026 Sep 18, 2026

Show notes

"...And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune, then the piper will lead us to reason; and a new day will dawn for those who stand long & the forests will echo with laughter."

003 Traitor Joes Sep 17, 2026

Show notes

Robb has spent years believing it was spelled “Traitor Joe’s.” Now the truth—and the groceries—can finally come out.

In Episode 003, a parking-lot handoff of collectible Elvis Matchbox cars leads Robb and Josh into the strange world of specialty groceries, suspicious shoppers, vegan marshmallows, chicken pot pies, frozen-food nostalgia, and the realization that the store may not have been betraying anyone after all.

Then Josh delivers the follow-up nobody expected: his completely scientific list of the smartest animals he has personally encountered. Chameleons, bees, birds, dogs, alligators, sharks, and several questionable definitions of “intelligence” enter the debate.

Plus, the guys preview the upcoming final TMOS cruise, compare restorative “artist weekends,” and prepare for Robb’s return to the high-school football press box—complete with stadium sound effects, deeply outdated music cues, imaginary attendance figures, and advice from the chat.

It’s groceries, collectibles, animal rankings, cruise talk, and enough detours to make the title feel almost responsible. It’s *Still Talkin’ 003: Traitor Joe’s*.

## Short Description

Robb and Josh investigate “Traitor Joe’s,” reveal an Elvis Matchbox treasure, rank the smartest animals, preview the final TMOS cruise, and build the least current high-school football playlist imaginable.

#3710: Comfort Men Sep 16, 2026

Show notes

Artificial intelligence may soon generate entire podcasts, but no machine could recreate the chaos of Mike ordering doggy diapers and receiving disposable male wraps instead. He straps one onto Winslow, confidently declares the problem solved, and is immediately confronted with a mysterious puddle that technology cannot explain. A discussion of golf-course comfort stations then takes one spectacularly unfortunate historical turn and hands the episode its title. The boys also explore parasocial grief, remembering Dolly Parton, George Harrison, Robin Williams, Prince, Norm Macdonald, and the celebrities whose passing felt surprisingly personal. Plus, Robb recalls his adventures aboard unstable advertising blimps, Mike warns against wine-powered golf carts, and a vintage milk party proves that teenagers of the 1950s were absolutely out of control.

#3709: Ashtabula Sep 15, 2026

Show notes

The show welcomes a highly questionable new sponsor from Ashtabula, Ohio—and Robb somehow knows the town thanks to a deep-cut song from a Drew Carey Show album. Mike declares war on dashboard rubber ducks, discovers what is actually inside Yoo-hoo, and realizes everyone he once considered young is now fully middle-aged. The great doggy-diaper experiment is officially underway, although Mike’s own emergency visit to the Sprouts restroom suggests the hounds may not be the only ones who need a backup plan. Robb unveils his Birkenstock boots, the boys debate a Hyrox champion who powered through a profoundly messy race, and Josh receives the shortest personal check-in in broadcasting history. Plus, retirement talk gets real, a Florida deer takes an unauthorized swim, and artificial intelligence finally achieves its highest purpose: telling Nellie Oleson exactly where she can go.

#3708: Whatadick Sep 14, 2026

Show notes

#3708: Whatadick

Mike arrives late after a scheduling mix-up, briefly considers blaming a power outage, and proves once again that honesty is the most inconvenient policy. His anniversary weekend delivers a terrific dinner, a baseball championship for Michael’s team, and enough sports victories to make him immediately suspicious of the universe. Winslow celebrates by peeing directly into a running fan, which sends the boys toward the only sensible solution: diapers for every member of the household. The guys also pause for a thoughtful look back at September 11, the communication blackout in New York, and the technology that changed how we experience major events. Then Robb performs emergency surgery on a bargain-bin Elvis while Mike heckles the Whataburger faithful as “Whatadicks,” joins their line anyway, and discovers that the burger is terrific—even if the apple pie belongs in the trash.
