#3702: Founders Day Aug 27, 2026

Show notes

It's a special JAR episode, and Robb opens Founder’s Day with dilated pupils, candy-coated cataracts, and a medical plan whose best feature is “insurance might actually pay for it.” Josh and Robb officially welcome the founding members of Still Talkin'—no final G, no time for it—complete with vault access, future swag, and a Hall of Fame probably not carved into the Kennedy Center. Their Labor Day couples trip to the Outer Banks becomes a preview of friendship, podcasting, and the dangerous possibility of jointly owning a hot tub with siblings. Robb then discovers the only surviving film of his grandfather, duckpin champion William “Big Daddy” Stalkup, who looked magnificent and apparently hated every non-regulation frame of it. Finally, a golf brand's horror-themed driver ad lands in the rough so badly that even the apology needs an apology.

#3701: Bavarian Finger Wrestling Aug 26, 2026

Show notes

Mike's morning begins with an open charging flap and ends with him presenting a year-old Orioles miracle to Josh like it just happened—nothing says “current events” like highlights aging in real time. As Michael juggles golf, baseball, broadcasting, and school, Dad is learning the sacred teenage-parenting art of dropping the kid off and backing slowly away. Robb introduces Bavaria's mighty finger-wrestling circuit, where lederhosen, leather loops, and dislocated knuckles turn “pull my finger” into a genuine athletic threat. The News brings body horror, baseball chaos, and an unsettlingly practical discussion of emergency road bottles. Plus, the guys discover a buffet reviewer chasing food poisoning one steam tray at a time, proving that two-and-a-half stars can still buy five-star content.

#3700: Dolly Aug 25, 2026

Show notes

TMOS pauses to remember Dolly Parton, a genuine national treasure whose songs, films, generosity, and gloriously managed mystique made nearly everyone feel better about fame. Mike recalls interviewing her, the boys revisit “I Will Always Love You,” “9 to 5,” and “Islands in the Stream,” and Robb somehow turns the tribute into a heavyweight title fight between Elvis and Whitney Houston. Aging enters the chat with a floor-to-standing challenge, two artificial hips, and the solemn promise that cruise passengers may one day witness Mike attempt to rise without furniture. Meanwhile, Josh’s latest Uber passenger requests an off-the-books Circle K-to-hotel extension, pays cash, and launches an investigation with absolutely no reliable conclusions. We close with discontinued underwear, silverfish, and the Del Rio Triplets—because even on a day devoted to Dolly, this show will always find the scenic route.

#3699: Weak Wrists Aug 24, 2026

Show notes

Mike’s algorithm slithers into South Africa, where a fearless snake wrangler grabs a black mamba by the business end and guarantees nobody on the show will sleep for three days. Proud-dad mode kicks in as Michael makes his varsity football play-by-play debut, complete with a lesson from Sam Huff’s trusty two-minute egg timer. Robb then joins Josh in the gig economy, accidentally gives away an Uber ride for free, battles invisible “Start UberX” buttons, and learns that some passengers treat cologne like crop dusting. The boys explore aura farming, tugboat-sized baseball players, gum grafts, and the financial logic of buying a four-billion-dollar Padres team when you’re feeling liquid. Finally, the Steak and Egg mystery returns with flipped video, suspicious bandages, food-service nausea, and a wrist brace apparently designed for the weakest wrists in Oklahoma.

TMOS Classic: August 21, 2026 Aug 21, 2026

Show notes

That age is best which is the first,

When youth and blood are warmer;

But being spent, the worse, and worst

Times still succeed the former.

Then be not coy, but use your time,

And while ye may, go marry;

For having lost but once your prime,

You may forever tarry.

#3698: Cutty Knife Aug 20, 2026

Show notes

Robb and Josh take the wheel, and Robb’s missing Cutco steak knife becomes a full-blown domestic crime scene—complete with trash-bag forensics, eBay negotiations, and a dream in which the blade finally comes home. The Jarheads also discover that cursive is now basically an encrypted language, which is unfortunate when a young teacher receives a handwritten note. From there, they inspect celebrity signatures, judge a new Jimmy Stewart biopic, and prove that no tangent is too old-timey for this program. Then they get candid about Mike’s retirement, the future of the show, and what’s next for the Josh-and-Robb era. Finally, AI bands invade Spotify, creativity goes on trial, and everybody leaves wondering whether the real threat is artificial music or an empty slot in Robb’s knife block.

#3697: Hand-Breaded Aug 19, 2026

Show notes

Mike arrives fresh from the dentist with a numb mouth, repaired bonding, and a full meal he bought before confirming he could actually chew it. The boys play a strangely competitive game of “Name That Doctor,” revisit Dudley Moore’s finest Novocaine work, and debate whether one perfectly deployed F-bomb can still save a movie. Youth baseball returns with a suspiciously mature new catcher, while refrigerator temperatures, exploding soda cans, and a deeply sensible request for a retirement account receive the TMOS scientific treatment. Robb prepares his passport for the Final Voyage, AI offers to replace your doctor, and South Florida proudly remembers its pioneering topless diner. Plus: Josh catches a buyer attempting the old torn-T-shirt switcheroo, and a roadside restaurant unveils a “hand-breaded pork chop” special that appears to include significantly more hand than anyone ordered.

#3596: Mike O'Drama Aug 18, 2026

Show notes

Mike makes the biggest announcement in TMOS history: after 46 years behind a microphone, he’ll retire from the daily show following one final episode aboard the January cruise. Naturally, Robb and Josh respond with Titanic music, “Final Voyage” branding, and several jokes that force Mike to clarify that he is retiring—not dying. The boys look back at the podcast’s unlikely 17-year run, thank the listeners who kept it alive, and tease the next chapter while carefully avoiding words like “farewell” around Mr. O’Drama. Then Mike reviews an unbearably self-important movie, Robb explains how he sliced his finger with a razor blade, and everyone agrees that asking “How was your Summer?” should never invite an actual answer. Plus: gas-station kratom, a birthday Charleston, screaming Huskies, and the shocking discovery that every restaurant is apparently just Chili’s wearing a different hat.

#3595: Barn in the USA Aug 17, 2026

Show notes

Mike starts the week with swimmer’s ear, a questionable bottle of drugstore drops, and a seventh grader who has finally retired his summer-long “shitty witty” attitude. A doctor explains what is really floating around in public pools, so naturally the boys celebrate their upcoming cruise by discussing every bodily fluid known to science. Mike walks off the golf course with two holes left, discovers that Chili’s baby back ribs remain undefeated, and gives both decisions the thoughtful analysis they deserve. Robb recommends a celebrity sex-pass movie, while Josh reveals that McDonald’s may know your lunch order—and your future—better than your own family does. Plus: runaway goats, a suspicious man who agrees he looks suspicious, and the Montgomery County Agricultural Fair committing the slogan crime of the summer: “Barn in the USA.”
