TMA (1-21-26) Hour 4 - A Sprinkling of Positivity Jan 21, 2026

Show notes

(00:00-5:54) 40 year old guys at dances. Andruw Jones is going into the Baseball HOF. Does this mean Jim Edmonds will be in at some point? Edmonds says publicly that it doesn't bother him. Carlos Beltran.

(6:02-8:34) A little positivity sprinkled in today. You don't get that very often.

(8:44-9:31) And the winner of today's Design Aire Heating and Cooling EMOTD is.....

TMA (1-21-26) Hour 3 - Gentle Prodded Jan 21, 2026

Show notes

(00:00-14:26) Good to hear from Aaliyah again. Doug hated that damn river birch. E-Mail of the Day.

(14:34-20:51) Working quickly and getting better at teasing. The 636 isn't happy we're not talking more sports. The famous embrace scene from Rocky III is on the screen in the studio.

(21:01-34:11) The Antlers got in a verbal altercation with Georgia staff. Shrubs in the arena in Athens. If you don't like it, win. What's not for you, pickleball or the hot dads? The younger generation isn't drinking as much. The effect on restaurants. No cap. Hey loser woke bitch. Who gets the most hate behind Tim?

TMA (1-21-26) Hour 2 - JeffCo Egg Rolls Jan 21, 2026

Show notes

(00:00-3:33) Just felt like a little Mr. Telephone Man. An article on KMOV centered around Senator Eric Schmitt wanting to bring the NFL back to St. Louis. Time management a little off this morning.

(3:41-29:52) Talking about Paul Schaeffer makes you run a little faster. Joined by another FOTS, Jeremy Rutherford joins us in studio. This show is good at diversifying. Tough act for JR to follow Joe Buck. Are the scoring problems system related or does it come down to the players? Customary two-part questions for JR. Doug Armstrong waiting for a right move. The Steve Ott move to Springfield. Best Chinese food in Jefferson County. Putting buffets out of business. Chicken & Waffles.

(30:02-51:32) Doug went to sock hops, not mixers. Shai. Senator Eric Schmitt did an interview with KMOV and the headline is getting some attention. Close to a 0% chance.

TMA (1-21-26) Hour 1 - Victorious But Still Broke Jan 21, 2026

Show notes

(00:00-34:25) Following Doug's lead. SLU wins but Schertz was embarrassed. The hero shot. What percentage of this audience watched the Billikens on ESPN+? Drink is team Cottleville. Jackson's busier than a one armed paper hanger. Itchin' for Nevin Shapiro. Josh Schertz was disappointed in the Bills even in the win. Tigers with a disappointing ending last night against Georgia. Questionable timeouts. Tigers have a theme of frustrating ends to games. Longing for the Frank Haith era. There's PAWGs everywhere. Strays like that won't be accepted. FOTS Joe Buck will join us a little later. Blues drop another.

(34:33-54:31) This one hits, doesn't it? Where does 2009 rank in your pantheon of years? Cucked by Pat Riley. Why'd they take Winning Time away from us? Too Fat To Kayak has a beef with Doug. Walking thru swamp infested waters. C'mon Doug, you know!! A Fat's Pilgrimage. Mike from the Dan LeBatard show is down in the dumps. Charles Barkley is untouchable. Nevin Shapiro gives his thoughts on Mario Cristobal.

(54:41-1:25:14) Friend of the show Joe Buck joins us in full celebration mode. Joe's a little critical of Jackson's update. Joe's experience at the game with his daughter. Doug's curious about Joe's parking situation. How did Joe celebrate on Monday night? Joe's breakdown of the pivotal parts of the game. Watching with Stephen A. Smith and Kenny The Jet. Michael Irvin on the sideline. Blowing up Tom Brady's spot. His time at ESPN so far and the Super Bowl coming to the network next year. Joe's airport tweet has become a story.

TMA (1-20-26) Hour 4 - What's This List About? Jan 20, 2026

Show notes

(00:00-18:41) Oh god, you devil. That's Ken Burns, not George. Alberto Mendoza has hit the transfer portal. Coach Cignetti is calling this a 'paradigm shift.' Doug guessing leaders of men (and women). What is this list even about? How did Kyle Schwarber end up on there?

(18:49-22:36) Kwamain Voyoukas IV is back on Team Jackson for now. Keep grinding and people will come around. The final college football poll of the season.

(22:46-23:44) And the winner of today's Design Aire Heating and Cooling EMOTD is...

TMA (1-20-26) Hour 3 - Moving Day Jan 20, 2026

Show notes

(00:00-12:24) It's Moving Day in the Design Aire E-Mail of the Day competition.

(12:32-18:59) The Wuthering Heights movie looks like pure sex. Here's Dan Hurley not happy with his chair in his post-game interview. Pro-villain in sport.

(19:09-23:08) Way too much codeine and adderal. Doug doesn't care much about walk-up songs. TMA back at Spring Training. You wanna guess The Athletic's mid-season grade for the Blues, Doug?

TMA (1-20-26) Hour 2 - I'm An Expert, You Bitch Jan 20, 2026

Show notes

(00:00-30:39) Anxious awaiting audio from today's Dan LeBatard show. Mario Cristobal talking about being one drive short of winning the National Championship. Who's gonna be the Babs Hershey? What does Jackson wear to bed? SLU ranked 24th in the latest poll despite Jackson's effort to keep them out. Supreme cuckoldry. SLU and Mizzou fans are warring in our text inbox. TMA Night at the Chaifetz Arena. The landscaping community is riled up. YOU WILL TAKE THIS MULCH!

(30:47-48:11) The Garrett Stephenson era. Comedian Tim Dillon had a scathing review of St. Louis. The BBQ snobs have been activated. Stop with the cackling, hen. Difference across briskets. Getting closer to TMA night at the Billikens game. Cutting your teeth in the BBQ space. Good brisket is a good tell of a place's quality. Landman is carbohydrates.

(48:21-1:02:40) Blonde, whispy nonsense. Real or prosthetic? Carson Beck shouldering the blame in last night's loss. Mark Fletcher's mom logged some miles traveling to see him play. Doug and Jackson are long time travel partners at this point. Lambert berating. Cruises and poors are synonymous.
