TMA (11-13-25) Hour 2 - Chet Just Stole The Jalopy Nov 13, 2025

Show notes

(00:00-20:32) A classic Rogers and Hammerstein piece. It took Harrison's Brother Master 48 minutes to go back on his word about texting in. Movie Boi gives one current film that must be seen. Reads Nancy Drew books, hates documentaries. Shrewsbury Seminary Student on the phone lines. Question about the TMA Reddit. Finally cleared to swim again after his snipping. Does Doug wanna hit the sauna with him? Protein bar talk. Municipality warfare.

(20:40-30:10) This doesn't sound like South Pacific to me. There's a fight brewing in the YouTube chat between Cucky and Jake in St. Gen. Roll Tide is on the phone lines with a question about fandom. Do you have to have gone to a school to be a fan? There's that sinister laugh again.

(30:20-53:02) This is a Detroit Pistons town. Billikens coach Josh Schertz checks in with us on the phone line. Working his way around the dais. Coach's thoughts on his team's 3-0 start.

The Irish guy comes through, make a note. This planet's not gonna be around much longer. Doug, do you want Steve in Wildwood or Dan Janson? Let's hear from Steve first. Rene Knott got hit by a bus. No room at Algonquin. Doug, you think Wellington's hot? Bracketology in November. Half my sons. Tufts for seniors. The Polar Express and Rumpleminze Santa. Even bums get presents. Timestamps.

(39:05-52:18) Showtune Thursday. Mizzou's National Championship path. Audio of Florida interim coach Billy Gonzales being asked if Lane Kiffin would be a good fit at Florida. Good non-answer. Why'd you send the money, Lix? Shoutout the listener who sent Jackson tickets for the Mizzou game. There's a shrub on the dais. Who has blonde shrubs? Infidelity by the wayside.

(52:28-1:11:42) Great to be reunited with Robert Thomas. Robert's assessment of the Blues' slow start. What does the team need to do to get back to their winning ways? Monty's playlist.
