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.

[SPEAKER_09]: Why can't you use that brain for good?

[SPEAKER_10]: Mike, I'm using it for good right now.

[SPEAKER_10]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_10]: The news he was in the corner and I remember we're having a conversation and it was, uh, I forgot what it was about, but it was not ultra pleasant.

[SPEAKER_10]: We were in there like talking about Michael's behavior or something negative like that where I was not really paying attention.

[SPEAKER_10]: And as I put the

[SPEAKER_10]: Open as I press the little button I hear

[SPEAKER_10]: And I didn't think anything that I really once before.

[SPEAKER_10]: Uh, no.

[SPEAKER_09]: That was the phone.

[SPEAKER_10]: That was the phone.

[SPEAKER_10]: Great.

[SPEAKER_10]: A sound rob ever came up with was the sound of the phone cracking inside the recliner.

[SPEAKER_10]: This is the same recliner that did that damage though. [SPEAKER_10]: Okay. [SPEAKER_10]: That is the same recliner. [SPEAKER_10]: Now not to be confused with the furniture that replaced the recliner. [SPEAKER_10]: which does not destroy phones, but it eats phones, it eats remotes, it eats mouse size, full size, laptop computers, it eats pens, glasses, credit cards, wallets, anything you can make of. [SPEAKER_10]: You name it. [SPEAKER_11]: And it's a child. [SPEAKER_11]: We had a couch like that. [SPEAKER_11]: And I would love it because my dad would lose cash in that couch all the time. [SPEAKER_11]: It's a dollar bill. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, it's a it's a as we say in New England. [SPEAKER_10]: It's a defect not a defect. [SPEAKER_10]: It's a defect. [SPEAKER_10]: And it was. [SPEAKER_09]: Would you ever lose anything that you bought at the packing? [SPEAKER_10]: uh... the packing the package store i look behind me and i have board a wall uh... whole the likes of which is uh... you know it is probably so you were five inches by three inches i yeah i i open and there was just no resistance at just smashed right into the wall and it was been there the holes been there and you know and then what did i do well i slid the recliner right up in front of it we never use that room anyway [SPEAKER_10]: left it, but now the task has been over the last couple of weeks to get it going, and to clarify, you knew that the damage had been done, and you just sort of backburner did. [SPEAKER_10]: because you did a long time. [SPEAKER_10]: He said as a swallow. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_11]: It's like hanging a picture over a hole. [SPEAKER_10]: It is. [SPEAKER_10]: It's like the Shawshank redemption. [SPEAKER_10]: And it is a matter of fact, my whole time to escape. [SPEAKER_10]: My or escape. [SPEAKER_10]: My, my whole is bigger. [SPEAKER_10]: Look out the Shawshank redemption hole. [SPEAKER_09]: Okay. [SPEAKER_10]: You know, you can lean over and go, you can lean over and go. [SPEAKER_10]: Michael and Dean, through. [SPEAKER_10]: Michael Barrett climb through 150 odds of filth. [SPEAKER_10]: But it was, I always forget the name, the amount of yardage that it was. [SPEAKER_10]: Was it 300 yards of filth of foulness? [SPEAKER_09]: I think it was 200, because I'll lean all look out. [SPEAKER_09]: I'll find it out. [SPEAKER_10]: And they do frame crawl through 300 yards of 500 yards. [SPEAKER_11]: That's what it says. [SPEAKER_11]: It says 500 yards, uh, just under half a mile. [SPEAKER_10]: Boy, just under half a mile. [SPEAKER_10]: Five football fields for anti-dry and football fields for anti-dry and they do frame. [SPEAKER_10]: Then he was free. [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_10]: That means he can already read. [SPEAKER_10]: We can read just combining movies. [SPEAKER_10]: Um, [SPEAKER_10]: So yesterday, the last couple of days has been acquiring the right product. [SPEAKER_10]: I have a, I don't know what the names of the tools are, but I have the big wide thing that you can pack. [SPEAKER_10]: How do you know that? [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, the big big one though, big flat one. [SPEAKER_10]: I got a smaller one because the big one makes it hard to get the little packaging to come out, right? [SPEAKER_10]: So here's what's wonderful. [SPEAKER_10]: There's a whole point in me saying because I'm always out for consumers to improve their lives. [SPEAKER_09]: Thank you Mike. [SPEAKER_10]: Because that's how I roll. [SPEAKER_10]: I want people to be happy. [SPEAKER_10]: Mm-hmm. [SPEAKER_10]: I got this wall patch and when I bought it at the Marta wall and I'll get to them later, I'll get to that shiit hole later. [SPEAKER_09]: So there's layers to this story. [SPEAKER_10]: Like a wall patch. [SPEAKER_11]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_10]: I use this sticker patch or something that goes inside the wall. [SPEAKER_10]: This is two different stores. [SPEAKER_10]: I went to the Sunshine San Carlos Ace Hardware store, find out fit. [SPEAKER_09]: Is that the one that you've always established? [SPEAKER_09]: I know you love Ace Hardware. [SPEAKER_09]: Yes. [SPEAKER_09]: That's your host store. [SPEAKER_10]: to be honest with you, last year or two, little slippage, and right now they're in the middle of a remodel, and that's really what they give a shit about. [SPEAKER_10]: Well, they don't give a shit about consumers. [SPEAKER_11]: Yes, they'll have one solution for your problem, maybe two. [SPEAKER_11]: So they'll have what you need, but they'll have one flavor, right? [SPEAKER_09]: And that's the place for the help for hardware store. [SPEAKER_10]: to help you out to help you out to help you get it wrong. [SPEAKER_10]: Yes, it's a place for the help of hardware. [SPEAKER_10]: What man. [SPEAKER_11]: Oh, okay. [SPEAKER_10]: Oh, I thought it was space because I thought it rhymed with place. [SPEAKER_10]: Ace is the place where the helpful hardware man. [SPEAKER_09]: I think it's man, I should be correct. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, it's not gonna stop store. [SPEAKER_10]: Let the patch, I got a little, it's a sticker that goes on the wall, and it's mesh. [SPEAKER_10]: And you put the compound on top of it. [SPEAKER_10]: It didn't stick. [SPEAKER_10]: So when I went to do my spaccling today, I was able to get away with it because there was enough glue, shit. [SPEAKER_10]: inadequate glue on the back that I was able to at least get the compound over and if you can get the compound over it, you don't need the the stick. [SPEAKER_09]: How about about how deep is this hole? [SPEAKER_09]: This for us. [SPEAKER_10]: Well, it's the size of a hole in drywall. [SPEAKER_10]: How thick is drywall? [SPEAKER_09]: Oh, so it went all the way through. [SPEAKER_09]: I thought it was just a dent. [SPEAKER_10]: course it went all the way through what was I just saying did you listen to the show yeah I thought Mike I listened to every episode you don't you know the chair the color of the recliner but you didn't listen to the I said it was a five-inch by by three-inch and it was a whole that you could see like Andy do frame what is the main thing about Andy do frame they look through the whole because he climbed through it of course it went through it just made a dent in his [SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, okay. [SPEAKER_10]: And what I would think they found out that Denton smashed his head and got caught by the authorities. [SPEAKER_09]: No, I was envisioning a dent. [SPEAKER_09]: I'm sorry, that was seeing what I wanted. [SPEAKER_09]: No, one all the way through is horrible. [SPEAKER_09]: That's bad. [SPEAKER_10]: I mean, really, if I hadn't hidden it, it would have been embarrassment. [SPEAKER_10]: And there are a lot of, I think a lot of houses have little things that if you didn't cover them up, that would be an embarrassment to them. [SPEAKER_10]: People would see it and all that. [SPEAKER_11]: So especially with kids. [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, because kids trash a house, they always do, and then when you have a dog, a Boston Terrier, that, you know, considers the entire domicile, his fucking toilet. [SPEAKER_10]: Is there any chance he could use the hole? [SPEAKER_10]: Yeah, could he shut in the hole? [SPEAKER_10]: No, not a chance. [SPEAKER_10]: Let's see, jump up on the recline. [SPEAKER_09]: You know who'd love the hole is your snake? [SPEAKER_09]: Jake could get in the hole and live within the wall. [SPEAKER_10]: So this patching compound that I purchased, here's the cool thing. [SPEAKER_10]: I don't know if anybody's ever experienced this, but it goes on pink. [
