The Mike O'Meara Show

Robb has spent years believing it was spelled “Traitor Joe’s.” Now the truth—and the groceries—can finally come out.

In Episode 003, a parking-lot handoff of collectible Elvis Matchbox cars leads Robb and Josh into the strange world of specialty groceries, suspicious shoppers, vegan marshmallows, chicken pot pies, frozen-food nostalgia, and the realization that the store may not have been betraying anyone after all.

Then Josh delivers the follow-up nobody expected: his completely scientific list of the smartest animals he has personally encountered. Chameleons, bees, birds, dogs, alligators, sharks, and several questionable definitions of “intelligence” enter the debate.

Plus, the guys preview the upcoming final TMOS cruise, compare restorative “artist weekends,” and prepare for Robb’s return to the high-school football press box—complete with stadium sound effects, deeply outdated music cues, imaginary attendance figures, and advice from the chat.

It’s groceries, collectibles, animal rankings, cruise talk, and enough detours to make the title feel almost responsible. It’s *Still Talkin’ 003: Traitor Joe’s*.

## Short Description

Robb and Josh investigate “Traitor Joe’s,” reveal an Elvis Matchbox treasure, rank the smartest animals, preview the final TMOS cruise, and build the least current high-school football playlist imaginable.

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, Mike warns against wine-powered golf carts, and a vintage milk party proves that teenagers of the 1950s were absolutely out of control.

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 messy race, and Josh receives the shortest personal check-in in broadcasting history. Plus, retirement talk gets real, a Florida deer takes an unauthorized swim, and artificial intelligence finally achieves its highest purpose: telling Nellie Oleson exactly where she can go.

#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 changed how we experience major events. Then Robb performs emergency surgery on a bargain-bin Elvis while Mike heckles the Whataburger faithful as “Whatadicks,” joins their line anyway, and discovers that the burger is terrific—even if the apple pie belongs in the trash.

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.

Plus, the microphones were rolling during Robb and Josh’s Outer Banks adventure. Hear them roam the Wright Brothers museum, evaluate aviation history in real time, and stumble toward an idea they’re saving for the Founders.

Smart bugs, strange facts, vacation audio, and two hosts asking the questions science was afraid to answer.

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 crunches the numbers on football Down Under, the boys inspect Oklahoma’s finest dinner special, and a Piggly Wiggly hot bar gives us the closing feast we never knew we needed.

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 baddies,” leading the guys to recommend the irresistible musk of Costco onions instead. Add ugly-pants choreography, vintage hot-dog manufacturing, dueling organists, and an NFL player who finally says what he thinks, and the show smells like a winner.

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.
