Show notes

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 Florida proudly remembers its pioneering topless diner. Plus: Josh catches a buyer attempting the old torn-T-shirt switcheroo, and a roadside restaurant unveils a “hand-breaded pork chop” special that appears to include significantly more hand than anyone ordered.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_03]: Well, Josh, you've taught me well.

[SPEAKER_03]: I would think, is it an overtly ethnic name?

[SPEAKER_03]: No.

[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, you see Josh, there was no reason to go there, and yet you planted that seed.

[SPEAKER_03]: Is it does he share the name with a famous person?

[SPEAKER_11]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, and it is he.

[SPEAKER_03]: Better doctor. [SPEAKER_11]: No, I had a very, very nice dentist who is a lady. [SPEAKER_03]: Okay. [SPEAKER_11]: We had a lady at the radio station who was a very beautiful lady who was a dentist. [SPEAKER_11]: And, you know, well, I don't want to be sexist. [SPEAKER_11]: but the beauty dentist equation did not work correctly. [SPEAKER_03]: No, no, it doesn't. [SPEAKER_11]: Correctly. [SPEAKER_11]: I say, as I am unable to, because of this part of my mouth, I am unable to pronounce correctly. [SPEAKER_03]: Before I venture my first guess, I have to ask. [SPEAKER_03]: Yes. [SPEAKER_03]: Have you eaten anything since you've gotten the NOVA game and did it fall out of your mouth? [SPEAKER_11]: The first substance that I have taken into my body all day, yeah, is this average. [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, and you have have you bitten your lip or the side of your mouth. [SPEAKER_03]: I'm not good. [SPEAKER_11]: That means that, but I'm still in pressure down on the tooth and I needed to and therefore it's temporary. [SPEAKER_11]: It'll be repaired on Friday and, you know, it is what it is. [SPEAKER_03]: It's one time after a very big dose of novocaine. [SPEAKER_03]: I went to Jersey, Mike, and it was just hard to keep the lettuce in my mouth. [SPEAKER_03]: But now here is Mike's an out now. [SPEAKER_11]: Can I just, you know, we, Robin, I tend to digress folks. [SPEAKER_11]: So just bear with us. [SPEAKER_11]: But I will tell you that that is a, that is a fat guy move too. [SPEAKER_11]: Where you will, you will acquire the food prior to really being able to appreciate the food. [SPEAKER_03]: Well, that'd be accurate right with Nova Kane. [SPEAKER_03]: I was hungry. [SPEAKER_03]: I'm hungry too. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, but I haven't I haven't gone there But not necessarily because I'm not a fat guy right because I am still so under this Nova Kane All right left side that I would be worried that I'd bite my tongue all see yeah my dentist shares a parking lot with the Burger King [SPEAKER_09]: And I hate Burger King, but I am hungry every time I come out of the dentist. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: Um, there is. [SPEAKER_03]: I would go after like a after a physical. [SPEAKER_03]: I would often hit because the doctor was in Fairfax with that. [SPEAKER_03]: I would go to the diner after I saw the doctor. [SPEAKER_03]: And he said, you know, are you eating as well as you can? [SPEAKER_03]: I don't have a blah blah blah blah blah all that stuff. [SPEAKER_03]: And then I'd go have fried eggs and pork chops and say, what a great day this has been so far. [SPEAKER_03]: I will give you one hint. [SPEAKER_03]: Okay. [SPEAKER_03]: Well, I have a guess before the hint. [SPEAKER_11]: All right. [SPEAKER_11]: Go ahead. [SPEAKER_11]: it is not and uh... i will say this uh... now i know i'm not gonna give you a you'll get it you get it too fast it won't be as much fun okay and we won't be able to do what we do better than anything else which is filth time i think that it is uh... doctor vance yeah that is incorrect is it a political name that i'm looking for or so it is name it is it is not a political name [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, but maybe not a show business name, then. [SPEAKER_03]: I didn't say that. [SPEAKER_03]: I said maybe. [SPEAKER_03]: Is it Dr. [SPEAKER_03]: Limerick? [SPEAKER_11]: It is not Dr. [SPEAKER_11]: Limerick. [SPEAKER_03]: No, did ABC Newsman talk about it. [SPEAKER_11]: Dude, Walker, and Doug Limerick, I don't know. [SPEAKER_03]: Is it someone that you won't answer this, but I'll try. [SPEAKER_03]: Is it someone we've met? [SPEAKER_03]: No. [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, then it's not Dr. Swazzy. [SPEAKER_11]: No, you're you're you're you're you're right now you're spinning out currently you are definitely spinning out and you're not even All right, which makes it more pleasant for me because Doctor was to be Dr. Wiley From TV's the pit no a while That is boy, you really are No, okay, well, I mean and that's you haven't given me any right show his name on the show is not Dr. Wiley [SPEAKER_03]: Well, no, he's a doctor on the show, but yeah, so yeah, and this name is Dr. Robby. [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, exactly. [SPEAKER_03]: And he has the Chargeners Dana. [SPEAKER_11]: Is it Dr. Robby? [SPEAKER_11]: It's Dr. Robby. [SPEAKER_03]: We're short for Rabinoids, right? [SPEAKER_03]: Which is what my mom used to call me. [SPEAKER_03]: Did you know that? [SPEAKER_03]: What? [SPEAKER_03]: When I was a kid, Rabinoids. [SPEAKER_03]: Come here, Rabinoids. [SPEAKER_11]: Oh, cuz a rob. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, okay. [SPEAKER_03]: Okay. [SPEAKER_11]: Um, see that rapier wit runs in the family. [SPEAKER_11]: That's what it does. [SPEAKER_03]: Yes. [SPEAKER_03]: Well, it was a broken home like. [SPEAKER_11]: Oh, God. [SPEAKER_11]: That's the early. [SPEAKER_11]: That's the early. [SPEAKER_11]: It is not Dr. Geronimo. [SPEAKER_11]: It is not Dr. Acula. [SPEAKER_11]: That's pretty funny. [SPEAKER_11]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_11]: It is not Dr. Buzz. [SPEAKER_03]: All right. [SPEAKER_11]: Now that the Czech group has taken it up to themselves to join in and God bless everyone of them. [SPEAKER_11]: We love having them participate on the show. [SPEAKER_03]: Dr. McCartney. [SPEAKER_11]: No, and you're able to ask questions. [SPEAKER_03]: Okay. [SPEAKER_03]: Is it someone? [SPEAKER_03]: Is it the celebrity that we are matching up with a musical oriented celebrity? [SPEAKER_11]: I didn't say celebrity. [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, that's true. [SPEAKER_03]: You just said someone in perhaps in show business. [SPEAKER_11]: Okay, is this person, or is he going to give you, I will give you a hint that might help you out. [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, I appreciate it. [SPEAKER_11]: I mean, we really haven't had one. [SPEAKER_11]: Remember, we're talking about doctor. [SPEAKER_11]: Right. [SPEAKER_11]: Is it Dennis, really a doctor? [SPEAKER_09]: If it's a man, it is. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_09]: If it's a man, it is. [SPEAKER_09]: If it's a man, it is. [SPEAKER_03]: If not, it's like a nurse or something. [SPEAKER_03]: Maybe a teacher. [SPEAKER_03]: So what is the end? [SPEAKER_11]: Can you smile like that some more? [SPEAKER_11]: I like Laura Ingraham. [SPEAKER_11]: Yeah exactly. [SPEAKER_03]: Except you can move. [SPEAKER_11]: Oh my god, I do a Laura Ingraham look. [SPEAKER_11]: Here we go. [SPEAKER_11]: Oh, I don't like that one. [SPEAKER_11]: How do you feel about the way they do things? [SPEAKER_03]: So the hint is, because we really don't have a hint. [SPEAKER_11]: This is a matter of fact, the last name or the first name is irrelevant because this person in the name has doctor. [SPEAKER_11]: There it is. [SPEAKER_03]: All right. [SPEAKER_03]: Is it doctor Detroit? [SPEAKER_11]: No. [SPEAKER_03]: Okay. [SPEAKER_11]: But you're on the right now. [SPEAKER_11]: Now you're finally back on the rails a little bit. [SPEAKER_03]: Okay. [SPEAKER_03]: Good. [SPEAKER_03]: Dr. Fever. [SPEAKER_11]: No. [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, trying to think about the famous doctors people that use doctor in there and these are not my new teeth [SPEAKER_03]: The same old team. [SPEAKER_03]: How about it? [SPEAKER_11]: If we go with famous doctors, Dr. Dr. Drew. [SPEAKER_11]: No, but you, but you, Mr. Soroka, have passed your brother there and done a very nice job. [SPEAKER_11]: And I won't call him your brother. [SPEAKER_11]: I used to say that to Robin Oscar. [SPEAKER_11]: I don't want to say that again. [SPEAKER_11]: That to me is bad, dude. [SPEAKER_03]: Talk about a broken home. [SPEAKER_03]: How about is it Dr. Oz? [SPEAKER_11]: No, you're both on the right track. [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, so it's got, Dr. Phil. [SPEAKER_11]: No. [SPEAKER_03]: Damn it. [SPEAKER_03]: Not Dr. McGraw either. [SPEAKER_11]: Last hint. [SPEAKER_11]: Think about what you like, Rob Spuack. [SPEAKER_03]: Dr. Davorse. [SPEAKER_11]: Nothing. [SPEAKER_11]: Wow. [SPEAKER_03]: This is my dentist, Dr. Annulment. [SPEAKER_11]: No. [SPEAKER_11]: You can't do it, Annulment. [SPEAKER_11]: You've been married too long. [SPEAKER_03]: I know. [SPEAKER_03]: Does it have to do with... [SPEAKER_11]: I think that by the way, there is all truths in humor. [SPEAKER_03]
