Robb’s AI assistant has a name, a troubled past, and far too many apologies. Meet Hector: the digital helper who turned a car-door repair into a full production and a computer cleanup into a days-long relationship test. As Robb tries to untangle duplicate music files, Josh explains why making the machine jealous of Earl might not be the most efficient solution. Somewhere in the digital clutter, “Every Day I’m Shuffling” becomes a much snowier radio parody. The guys debate Martha Stewart, celebrity apologies, and the publicity cycle before tackling a problem closer to home: getting Robb’s enormous fruitcake mixer upstairs. Josh’s first suggestion is to move the kitchen. His alternatives aren’t much more practical. Then it’s a defense of grown-up gaming, the double standard around scrolling versus playing, and the challenge of sharing a room with someone else’s TikTok soundtrack. Cruise plans lead into a love letter to Back to the Future: first CDs, schoolyard hoverboard rumors, favorite sequels, and why Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd still make the whole thing work. Naturally, a conversation about great TV characters ends with Robb nominating Steve Sanders—and Josh demanding an explanation. AI apologies, industrial baking, questionable pop-culture rankings, and two friends who are still talking.

The morning after Election Day, Mike brings a loaded soundboard and plenty of opinions, while Robb and Josh try to keep the coverage—and the jokes—on track. The guys tackle TV talking heads, the mysteries of YouTube TV, and baseball’s money troubles, where one salary-cap joke earns its own shade of green. Then Mike’s reaction to Laura’s Choice opens a thoughtful conversation about family, grief, and facing the end of life on your own terms. Plus, Muhammad Ali memories, another unwanted AI story, a man racing a train, and a classic dose of Foster Brooks.

It’s Election Day, and TMOS Election Central has questions no legitimate pollster would dare ask. Mike navigates the waiting game after medical tests, takes aim at bargain silverware, and discovers that throwing away the ice cream is only the first step toward behaving himself—especially when there’s a fritter nearby. Robb returns to Halloween with an Elvis costume, a toothy jack-o’-lantern, and trick-or-treaters ranging from demanding to delightful. Plus, questionable ways to hide an ice-cream habit, a visit from Michael, and a heartfelt remembrance of HBS on his birthday.

Mike’s trip to the Keys serves up good friends, fishing, and a combination of garlic knots and canned cocktails he won’t soon forget. The aftermath earns him a new name: Mike O’Marinara. He also discovers a card game that’s easier to enjoy than explain—and learns that buying rum-raisin ice cream won’t guarantee he gets it all to himself. Back in the studio, the guys tackle notoriously mispronounced words, from Worcestershire to a certain Mary Poppins mouthful. Plus, Jimmy Stewart memories, Mike’s very opinionated soundboard, and the latest slang the guys would happily leave behind.

The crew returns from the holidays with New Year’s schedule confusion, family stories, and Mike’s appreciation for a thoughtful waiter. Oscar’s health insurance paperwork adds another dose of everyday frustration to this classic TMOS replay.

Josh Sroka and Robb Spewak welcome Aaron Burns, director and producer of Jimmy, for a conversation about bringing an American screen legend’s most transformative years to the movies. From Hollywood stardom to World War II combat and the making of It’s a Wonderful Life, Aaron explains why Jimmy Stewart’s story became a film about service, hope, and finding a way forward. Aaron shares how KJ Apa captured Stewart’s voice and mannerisms without turning the performance into an impression, why he approached Jimmy as a Frank Capra movie, and how the team combined archival footage with recreated newsreels. He also discusses Kelly Stewart-Harcourt’s involvement, a cameo from Karolyn Grimes—Zuzu herself—and the reactions that meant the most to the filmmakers. Plus: honoring veterans, the difference between a timely story and a timeless one, Rob Riggle’s input on set, and the camera choices that show Jimmy’s isolation and return to joy. Robb has already watched the film twice, Josh offers a potential poster blurb, and Aaron picks his favorite Stewart movies—with one obvious choice taken off the table. Jimmy opens nationwide November 6, 2026.

Jimmy Stewart was a Hollywood legend. To Kelly Stewart-Harcourt, he was Dad. Kelly joins Josh Sroka and Robb Spewak to share family stories, from the wartime diary discovered after his death to the mischievous sense of humor behind his familiar screen presence. Kelly discusses seeing KJ Apa portray her father in Jimmy, growing up near Lucille Ball and Jack Benny, fans picnicking on the family’s front lawn, and the poem about Beau that brought everyone to tears. Afterward, Josh has one important question about Harvey: does Jimmy Stewart play the rabbit? Watch or listen at StillTalkinPodcast.com.

Mike’s morning drive inspires a highly unscientific list of cars—and drivers—to watch out for, with a special place reserved for the Nissan Rogue. Josh remembers the Mustang he’s glad he never inherited, and Robb recalls meeting Pat Summerall. A shark story sends Mike into a full-body Jaws impression, creating exactly the kind of ridiculous moment the guys will miss. Plus, political-text overload, a rare look at the Three Stooges explaining their craft, an unforgettable steak-and-eggs pitch, and a puppy video that nearly breaks the show. It’s moments like this.

Robb heads to Hobby Lobby for an Elvis poster frame and finds a world of fake cinnamon, “cute” decorations, and discounts that never end. Mike has questions—and a very special store employee on the line. Josh explains his two-hot-dog strategy at Costco, while Mike’s homemade beef stroganoff leads to a butcher encounter the guys refuse to leave alone. Plus, who gets the spotlight in the social clips, NFL referee frustration, and Robb’s firm stand against self-checkout. Welcome to Robby Lobby.

Mike’s computer is falling apart, but the real technical challenge is getting Robb to guess what he’s watching. A simple TV recommendation becomes an epic interrogation before Vikings finally emerges from the fog. Robb returns from Kings Dominion with happy memories, a candy apple, and a brutally accurate observation from Cary about his favorite activities. Mike and Michael brave Obsession together, and Mike shares his latest insurance-plan frustrations. Plus, a Genius Bar that ought to serve drinks, nostalgic television technology, and one loaded little word: “her.” Our Sponsors: * Check out Progressive: https://www.progressive.com * Check out Quince and use my code TMOS for a great deal: https://www.quince.com * Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code TMOS for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.com Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The guys debate the fate of the Yak Shack, Mike finds kindness at a doctor’s office, and listener mail brings birthday impressions and Thanksgiving turkey talk.

Robb wants a seat at the captain’s table. Josh isn’t convinced there even is a captain’s table—and wearing a tie might be the least of their problems. This week, Josh Sroka and Robb Spewak compare clothes they’ve owned for decades, set some ground rules for visiting aliens, and dream up their ideal Super Bowl halftime shows. Elvis Presto sends them down a wonderfully strange rabbit hole, while a “raging tiger” story leaves Josh spectacularly disappointed. Then it’s back to Bayside for Saved by the Bell nostalgia, opening-day movie confessions, and Robb’s memories of watching The King of Queens come together in front of a live audience. Old shirts. Old TV. Absolutely no shortage of opinions. Watch, listen, and support the show: https://StillTalkinPodcast.com Hosted by Josh Sroka and Robb Spewak.

Stay away from bakeries—they might mistake you for a cutie pie! Mike fights an afternoon slump while Robb explains his bedtime defense against late-night snacking. The boys tackle the cost of moving out, bargain-shopping disasters, and an Elvis figure missing one rather important feature: his face. Plus, changing radio voices, baseball fans getting the upper-deck treatment, and a very strange video from Josh that leaves Robb questioning their friendship.

Mike’s ice cream habit meets its match: a cone that can’t hold its own. Robb shares his exacting stovetop popcorn method, from the test kernels to the butter-and-salt finish—and Mike has questions. A home-run celebration brings Michael to the microphone for a baseball debate that somehow travels all the way to Iceland. Plus, early voting, Robb’s vintage seat-belt fashion statement, and the paperwork nobody wants to discuss.
