Mike and Oscar raise the stakes in a bet over arriving late to the show, with Robb helping sort out the rules and consequences. A classic archive mix of friendly rivalry, movie talk, and appreciation for hockey announcer Doc Emrick.

Josh has hired an assistant. His name is Earl. Robb has one question: who the hell is Earl?

In episode 006, Josh introduces his AI assistant, a tireless organizer with the attitude of Orioles legend Earl Weaver. Earl sorts founder messages, untangles a stack of toll notices, checks in with Josh’s wife, and offers thrift-store advice with a grumpy baseball-manager streak. Robb wonders when a computer became the third guy on the show—and whether his own assistant, Hector, needs a personality upgrade.

Then the guys tackle baseball’s unwritten rules: stop blocking home plate for your selfie, and if you catch a playoff foul ball, do you really have to give it to a kid? Josh’s World Series longing leads to a Super Bowl memory involving Paul McCartney, which Robb takes very personally.

Josh shares an encouraging update on Bella after a rough stretch of emergency-vet visits. Robb’s love of The Sting opens the door to an impressive playing-card collection, a shopping cart he wisely abandoned, and ideas for the final TMOS cruise. Plus: Disney pin collecting, memories of Robert’s Make-A-Wish trip, and a lightsaber adventure at the happiest—and hottest—place on earth.

Meet Earl. He handles the paperwork. Josh and Robb handle the tangents.

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.
