The Mike O'Meara Show

Today... Mike gets to "fanboy" over Marshall Green, who joins us from his show "Giants Now" on Chatsports. In his own lane, Robb fanboys over the "Librarian of Congress" as he recaps his big Washington DC gala. Josh tells us that middle-schoolers are not smart about their Smarties and Mike bemoans his recent time on the links. Plus, we never solve the gravy mystery. Sad.

Robb celebrates fitting into size 36 jeans, while Mike celebrates “creamage”—his favorite food group and the reason an empty ice-cream box can become evidence against him. Reduced-sugar Frosted Flakes get a harsh review, cereal milk must earn its flavor, and vegetables remain acceptable only with the proper creamy accompaniment. Then Robb prepares to meet a princess at the Library of Congress, prompting a full wardrobe intervention, a debate over “smart casual,” and some very specific rules about what he can bring. The boys tackle rising costs, corporate consolidation, and the arguments that keep everybody distracted before a moving DNA reunion st...

Sunrise. Chair. Banana. Three little words turn Mike’s routine wellness check into a memory test he insists nobody explained properly, with a clock drawing, a helpful picture on the wall, and enough ammunition to keep Robb and Josh entertained all day. Then another baseball scheduling fiasco sends Mike toward Sarasota for the wrong game—and gets him blocked from the very thread containing the explanation. The boys debate the cost of watching football, the perils of sports betting, and why “I almost won my parlay” still means you lost. Josh builds an AI assistant to tackle emails, podcast problems...

A trip through the TMOS archives featuring Mike and Robb’s interview with Wayne Newton, Oscar’s visit with the Bush family in Kennebunkport, and a look back at the show’s eighth anniversary. Classic stories, familiar voices, and plenty of laughs.

In Episode 005, Robb walks Josh through a garbage-day disaster and the surprisingly clever trick he uses to track down his missing key. Josh has a competing strategy, naturally, and the guys debate whether brains beat simply diving into the trash. Along the way, there’s a hard-fought used-car negotiation, a stash of root beer barrels, and considerably more mayonnaise than anyone wanted.

The conversation takes a more personal turn as Josh shares a frightening emergency-vet visit with his dog Bella and the staggering cost of getting answers. Robb relates with stories about his aging do...

The show opens with an honest conversation about suicide prevention as therapist Cynthia Catchings joins Mike, Robb, and Josh to discuss recognizing distress, supporting loved ones, and keeping communication open with kids. Mike shares a difficult chapter from his own life before the boys shift gears to his supposedly calmer approach to the Red Sox—and a baseball-practice scheduling fiasco that proves his patience still has limits. A congressional “gotcha” falls apart over the difference between the Hawks and the Hawkeyes, while a heated discussion of measles and vaccines produces a very questionable mob motto: “Weasles Get Measles.” Plus, notificati...

At Mike’s new country club, a “soft lunch” apparently means everything goes in the blender. The boys turn a discussion of social-media “soft launches” into a menu for older golfers, while Mike confesses to driving jitters, school-pickup naps, and an orange-creamsicle detour that Robb was once denied. A Land Remembered rekindles Mike’s love of reading, and Robb explains why his upcoming cataract surgery can’t come soon enough. Then it’s time for Robb’s definitive diet-soda power rankings, featuring a Fresca disappointment and a vigorous debate over whether Coke Zero in a bottle deserves its own spot. Plus, Britis...

Three people. Three waffles. Absolutely no side dishes. Mike’s baseball weekend ends at Waffle House, but not before another umpire showdown and a team dinner at WingHouse that turns out to be considerably less family-friendly than expected. The boys investigate baseball’s reality-TV moms, overpriced dreams of athletic glory, and the fine art of letting kids be kids. Robb’s Halloween spirit faces an intervention courtesy of black ranch dressing, while he and Josh unveil WonkaCast—and Mike would like to remind everyone that he hasn’t retired yet. Plus, a capybara café, an 86-year-old speed demon, Helen Mirren appr...

"Tonight, you will twice be entertained by them."

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...

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 ne...

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 a...

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 gian...

"...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."

Still Talkin'! Today, Robb is nearly late (thanks to a generous listener)... but we start (nearly) on time. Josh has a list of the smart (?) animals... and Robb gears up for the busiest weekend EVER (and shows off his woefully old-timey soundboard). Plus, the value of an "Artist's Weekend"... and our hot takes on the Emmy's favorite shows. Plus, make sure to check out www.STILLTALKINPODCAST.com. It's a great day to become a Founder...

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...

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 mess...

#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 ch...

 "The untold want by life and land ne'er granted... Now voyager sail thou forth to seek and find."

In Episode 002, Robb and Josh discover that mosquitoes may be getting smart enough to work around insect repellent, launching an urgent investigation into DEET, bug intelligence, the animal kingdom’s unofficial IQ rankings, and whether a mosquito could someday outsmart a chicken. The science is unsettling. Their conclusions are considerably less reliable.

Then Brian Boone, fact curator for Uncle John’s All-Knowing Bathroom Reader, joins the show to explain how bizarre facts make it onto the page, what it takes to verify the unbelievable, and why bathroom reading became an institution.

Mike wonders whether phones are still worth getting excited about, and a two-grand foldable earns the devastating verdict: “slightly intriguin’.” Dirk marks Mike and Carla’s anniversary with a heartfelt poem, which mainly reminds Mike that he should probably start planning something. A 98-inch television leads to some very serious negotiations involving furniture, Frosted Flakes, and Mike’s completely reasonable desire to hide his ice cream from his own family. Robb takes us to Hungary for competitive grave digging, where tidy corners and backbreaking speed can earn you several hundred dollars and all the goulash you can handle. Plus, Josh crunc...

Robb and Josh return from their Outer Banks boys’ weekend with tales of THC beverages, Coyote vs. Acme, two closed restaurants, and enough X-Men coin-pusher time to qualify as a residency. Mike investigates whether the wives were truly invited, whether Robb and Josh can survive breakfast together, and whether an arcade watch gets more valuable when it costs $104 to win. Michael makes Dad proud in the football broadcast booth—then his school hangs 60 points on the visitors before halftime and the other team declines to return. A TikTok sage explains that deodorant and cologne are why men can’t “pull bad...

Enjoy the long weekend with Your Daddio on the Raddio and fantastic stacks of wax that actually mean a lot. Turn it up.

New show. Same friends. Strong opinions about pizza. Robb and Josh kick off Still Talkin’ with a celebration of the Founders who made it possible—and a $74 pizza lunch Josh can’t let go. From questionable “best pizza” bragging rights to favorite local slices, the conversation becomes a full-blown debate about what makes a pizza worth the price. Plus: Robb’s lifelong obsession with radio jingles, Josh’s questionable AI-generated theme songs, detention memories, unusual Oreo flavors, and the growing headache of streaming subscriptions. It’s the first official episode, and the rabbit holes are already open for business.

Mike and Robb put the Looney Tunes on trial, Dennis weighs in from the chat (eventually), and Robb delivers a rave review of Coyote vs. Acme. Mike’s algorithm has decided he’s elderly, so naturally we conduct a deeply dignified investigation into dry mouth, foot scrubbing, and the undercarriage. Ariana Grande acquires an imaginary big sister named Ariana Venti, while Josh’s improv skills receive an unscheduled performance review. The Cat in the Hat becomes a local-news emergency, and the guys wonder whether the coverage is scarier than the meme. Plus, yesterday’s bird-feeding showdown leaves a mysterious funk in...

Mike’s peaceful Burger King lunch becomes a four-act Florida epic when he feeds French fries to an ibis and a self-appointed bird marshal orders him to stop. Words fly, cars lurch, “fat boy” enters the chat, and Mike discovers his best comeback to a personal insult is apparently “nice car.” Robb and Josh prepare for an Outer Banks weekend together, test Tesla’s ASS mode, and reassure everyone that Still Talkin’ chemistry can survive a shared vacation. The crew revisits David Letterman and Zsa Zsa Gabor eating their way through Los Angeles, then samples Lewis Black’s war on Junior Mints...

Mike opens the week by admiring how hard Robb and Josh are working on Still Talkin’—while reminding everyone that he is retiring, not dead—and begins plotting a short-form interview show of his own. A few algorithm videos send him on a luxury ice-cream mission, where Tillamook disappoints, Jeni’s disappears, and “old man flavors” receive the serious cultural analysis they deserve. A neighborhood debit-card rescue turns Mike into a good Samaritan, right up until the chat room appoints a new Captain Asshole. Then the boys enter the booming world of online camel sales, where 3,300 listings, million-dollar beauty camels, came...

Dolly Rebecca Parton

August 25, 2026

May She Rest in Peace.

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 hi...

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 r...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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 ra...

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 fut...

Elvis Aron Presley

January 8, 1935 - August 16, 1977

Please enjoy the return of ROBBRADIO as Robb pays tribute to Ebbish on the 49th anniversary of his passing.

"He will always be The King, no matter what."

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...

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...
