  #3694: Fax Machine Division 13.08.2026 1h 25m

  Robb and Josh seize control of Thursday, and the free Producers Club preview immediately becomes a federal case at the post office. Robb battles a jammed package chute, revisits the curly gray misery of old fax paper, and reveals a prank that arrived about twenty years too late. Then his inner 12-year-old reports for duty as the boys geek out over Coyote vs. Acme, Looney Tunes, and the movies that never quite let them grow up. Elvis Death Week brings a teenage tribute champion, plans for Robb Radio, and enough jumpsuits to keep Graceland fully operational. Plus: baseball nightmares, puzzle cereal, an AI-generated Seinfeld, emergency pee bags, and Willie Nelson serving breakfast with a punchline.Our Sponsors:* Check out Quince: https://www.quince.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

  #3693: DAP. 12.08.2026 1h 26m

  Mike finally confronts the five-by-three-inch hole his recliner punched through the parlor wall, launching a heroic home-repair saga involving mesh, pink spackle, orange-peel texture, and the Cadillac of wall patch: DAP. The guys celebrate the return of Ted Lasso, then salute Robb’s son Robert as he prepares to lead his own special-education classroom and possibly become the tallest teacher in America. A charity-auction Phillies broadcaster spends $22,000 to call an inning and sounds so polished that the professionals may want to change the locks. Elsewhere, dinner with Robb hits the auction block, podcasts invade television, influencers demand credentials, and a robotic suitcase prepares to mow down everyone at the airport. Finally, the guys choose their nightmare celebrity roommates before the Audio Vault delivers pale organ fingers, Paul Stanley’s least graceful segue, and one very happy auction winner.Our Sponsors:* Check out Quince: https://www.quince.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

  #3692: Texas Robb 11.08.2026 1h 21m

  Mike saddles up for a thrilling night at Texas Roadhouse, where the salad is arctic, the rolls are medicinal, and public line dancing is an excellent way to embarrass a 13-year-old. Then the guys discover “Texas Robb,” a country-singing Kentucky cowboy who looks enough like Robb to inspire a shirt-tucking debate, a Halloween costume, and several unnecessary eyebrow close-ups. Mike investigates whether Lioness-style drone swarms and killer war dogs are real, while his own household dogs remain focused on a much smaller theater of operations. A hometown golf phenom gets a Jack Nicklaus shout-out, Ted Lasso returns to warm hearts, and Josh reviews a movie whose greatest threat may be the mandatory dead-dog warning. Finally, the Audio Vault brings celebrity grape leaves, a magnificently overworked organist, Tommy Lee’s foot-assisted romance, and Judge Judy with a backbeat.Our Sponsors:* Check out Quince: https://www.quince.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

  #3691: Mexican Egg Salad 10.08.2026 1h 22m

  Mike goes bargain hunting at the dentist, where a mouth pressure washer, a strip-mall mega-office, and the sudden invention of a Mexican egg salad sandwich all somehow belong in the same conversation. The O’Meara garage gets a ruthless purge, but Robb mounts a spirited defense of a $600 Christmas tree and briefly dreams of turning the place into a golf simulator. The TMOS auction returns with dinner with Robb, a Beatles hoodie, a Hank Aaron ball, and enough administrative confusion to qualify as a government program. Spewak’s 50-year-old grandfather clock survives decades of neglect, gets an EKG from a horologist, and books its next appointment for 2028. Plus, the guys count the absurd millions earned by top podcasters, learn the casino value of knowing when to walk away, and close with bluegrass prodigies and a wicked deep dive into Boston vocabulary.Our Sponsors:* Check out Quince: https://www.quince.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

  "I'd like to talk with you sometime, sir, and tell you about my idea for harnessing the life force. It'll make atomic power look like the horse and buggy. I'm already developing my faculty for seeing millions of miles.

  #3690: 8 Buttons 05.08.2026 1h 24m

  Mike discovers that eight shiny mixer buttons are at least seven too many while trying to patch Carla into the show for the world’s creepiest prank-call recap. A tense morning at the batting cages turns into a full family summit, followed by an Elvis-worthy haircut and an eight-pound snow-crab investment that absolutely must surrender every ounce of meat. The boys revisit Mike’s finest fine-dining tricks—from shrimp-tail fingernails to personally narrating the dessert tray—before celebrating lunar impacts, underwear, and Josh’s nearly pocket-free lifestyle. Jimmy Cirrito becomes morning television’s favorite wingman, complete with cheesesteaks, poutine, and enough early-morning enthusiasm to wake the entire DMV. Robb then exposes an AI-powered inflatable-truck scam with a very real Apple Pay button, proving the only thing more dangerous than eight buttons is pressing “Buy Now” on a $500 pool float.Our Sponsors:* Check out Quince: https://www.quince.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

  #3689: Mike Old Meara 04.08.2026 1h 20m

  Mike is one Command Strip away from declaring war on 3M, and his newly repaired shower has him feeling like the king of a very tiny bathroom. The boys step up to the plate for a big-league argument about baseball money, salary caps, and whether Mike could survive a guest spot on Josh’s baseball podcast. Robb brings breaking auction news when his cruise-dinner winner discovers one tiny detail: the dinner is on the cruise. Then TikTok serves a quadruple cheeseburger dipped in Coke, Colonel Sanders memorabilia goes under the hammer, and nobody’s gallbladder feels safe. Finally, the listeners name the boys live, giving us “Wild Boy Sroka,” “Diesel Spewak,” and the instant classic “Mike Old Meara”—a nickname that may actually be older than Mike.Our Sponsors:* Check out Quince: https://www.quince.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

  #3688: Cuetara Animalitos 03.08.2026 1h 20m

  Mike is still foggy from Saturday’s auction, where margaritas, a second helping, and Scooby-Doo turned the after-party into a memory-free success. Josh mourns as the Orioles send Adley Rutschman to the Red Sox, while Mike enjoys Boston’s sudden ability to buy happiness. Mike visits Linda on the road to recovery, reviews the hospital ambiance and medical scrubs, and reminds everyone that a widow-maker blockage can hide behind feeling perfectly fine. Robb raids Grocery Outlet for mystery batteries, suspicious meat, chocolate pies, and Cuetara Animalitos—the bargain animal cookies that finally make bilingual snacking feel dangerous. Finally, Josh becomes an Uber driver, The Odyssey gets frozen out for excessive whispering, and zip ties, guacamole, and a vintage hot-dog commercial close the show in high style.

  #3687: Mr. Hand Pay 30.07.2026 1h 22m

  Mike lands his dream guest, slot superstar Mr. Hand Pay, and immediately starts auditioning for the role of new best friend. Jason Belkey takes us behind the jackpot curtain to talk real wins, brutal losses, casino math, fake gambling streams, and why a hand pay is considerably less sexy than it sounds. Elsewhere, a plastic bag defeats a fleet of robot cars, Powerball fever inspires a mile-wide chocolate pie, and some criminal cats pull off the purr-fect heist. We get wonderful news from Linda’s surgery, while Mike and the boys attempt to build a backyard pitcher’s mound without sacrificing any fingers—or misusing the pitcher’s rubber. Robb’s head becomes a studio lighting instrument, Kathy Hilton battles the basic rules of Wheel of Fortune, and the show closes by proving that people in 1985 had no idea how annoying pocket-sized video calls would become.Our Sponsors:* Check out Quince: https://www.quince.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

  #3686: Dehydrated 29.07.2026 1h 19m

  Auction Week Wednesday is here, and Mike’s prized watches, circus ringmaster hat, and the legendary seatbelt extender are ready to find new homes—assuming anyone meets the reserve. Mike shares a scary but hopeful update about Linda’s upcoming heart surgery and reminds everyone that feeling fine is no substitute for getting checked. Then National Lasagna Day starts a ricotta fight, dehydration explains decades of irritability, and the gang learns why second-screening has turned America into a nation of professional rewinders. Tony Romo’s roadside stop sends the show across the gore and deep into the mechanics of field sobriety, while a spectacularly bad snake handler proves that confidence and competence are very different reptiles. Finally, therapy goes competitive, 1973 Jeopardy! looks like it was built in a basement, and Kermit loses his voice in a joke that may get us banned from Sesame Street.Our Sponsors:* Check out Quince: https://www.quince.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

  #3685: Hot Water! 28.07.2026 1h 21m

  It's a RAM show today (Robb and Mike) because Josh is squirrel huntin' in Detroit. Mike explains that for much of his life, he has been a basement dweller. Robb, who is an idiot, has plumbing questions. Can we fight cognitive decay? Can we clean our trash cans? Will Javier win the Emmy? Yes. Yes he will.Our Sponsors:* Check out Quince: https://www.quince.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

  #3684: Dawn and Mike 27.07.2026 1h 25m

  Mike had a satisfying, steamy, stepladder weekend... and no one was injured. Tires are FUN... if you have the right snacks. A sincere thank you to the Mystery Mobb that hung out with Josh and Robb at the Escape Room... and, we tease some auction items that you can take a crack at this Saturday at the Cocktail Party. Plus?

  #3683: Dubbin' 23.07.2026 1h 22m

  Mike’s day has too many moving parts: Carla calls mid-show, I-75 goes completely feral, and an innocent sleepover somehow becomes a dawn patrol to Walmart. Soul founder and former boxer Mike Lee joins the gang to explain what a looming federal hemp ban could mean for consumers—and Mike naturally steers responsible regulation toward bar. The boys unveil a TMOS auction and America meets Jimothy, Seattle’s brave little raccoon who looks like Gollum lost a bar fight. A debate over dubbed Netflix movies becomes live “Dubbin’,” with Mike and Robb hijacking each other’s voices while Josh tries to disappear into his chair. Then come streaming confusion, glizzy diplomacy, and an AI Kool-Aid Man that turns childhood refreshment into pure nightmare fuel… oh yeah!Our Sponsors:* Check out Quince: https://www.quince.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

  #3682: Old News 22.07.2026 1h 25m

  Mike is hosting another summer sleepover, monitoring the Red Sox like NORAD, and discovering that Meta glasses may be the only thing standing between a teenager and a neighborhood Karen. The gang wonders whether manners, compromise, chores, and kids without social media can ever make a comeback (please hold while civilization reboots). Then the TMOS news department breaks a huge Tom Hardy story from April 2025... which is both old and possibly imaginary. Robb introduces us to the mysterious Heisler beer-verse, Josh keeps the sports facts straight, and Mike recalls a childhood camping adventure that left a very specific deposit near the stairs. Plus: cranky comedy, Scott Shannon wisdom, and Dean Martin plugging Charlie’s Angels—because on today’s show, even the nostalgia is old news.Our Sponsors:* Check out Quince: https://www.quince.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

  TMOS EXTRA: Aaron Perlut and "The Death of Compromise" 22.07.2026 51m

  In this TMOS Extra, Robb talks to author Aaron Perlut about his new book The Death of Compromise. It's a non-partisan discussion about how we arrived at the current trend of vilifying opponents and seeking power instead of striving for the common good. Is it too late to fix this... or do we still have the power to influence our present trajectory? This is Aaron's second TMOS appearance and he also discusses his band, Atomic Junction, and why compromise is important in the arts as well as in politics. You can buy the book HERE and you can find out about the band and more Aaron info at www.AARONPERLUT.com.Our Sponsors:* Check out Quince: https://www.quince.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

  #3681: Steamer 21.07.2026 1h 26m

  Mike drops $59 on the “unnecessary purchase of the day,” and naturally the mystery box demands a full on-air unboxing. Inside is a steam cleaner with enough attachments—and questionable possibilities—to launch Merchandise Tuesday into orbit. The boys also get heated over Red Sox–Orioles baseball, tariff trouble, baffling sleep advice, and the high-priced world of sports fandom. Josh reviews Will Ferrell’s The Hawk while Mike investigates an Alibaba watch that may be even less authentic than advertised. Robb finishes the fun with bargain-bin dogs, drumming, and Wolfman Jack’s surprising thoughts on personal hygiene.Our Sponsors:* Check out Quince: https://www.quince.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

  #3680: Group Pull 20.07.2026 1h 23m

  Mike is back on dry land... and he is a lychee NUT!. We have a new teenager in our midst (yay!) and sometimes, musical theatre is better than soccer. Deal with it. Robb hits KD twice... and is well on his way to being a spokesman. Josh takes in some cinema... and we have some great sauce for you (it'll be OK).Our Sponsors:* Check out Quince: https://www.quince.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
