Christmas is in the rearview mirror, and today’s show feels a lot like that post-holiday phone call—where everyone checks in, catches up, and reconnects. You’re family, so consider this ours.
How are you? How was your Christmas?
Mike is spending the holidays in Maine with family, while Robb and Josh both had their daughters home for Christmas. In the end, we all had a great Christmas with family.

In this special holiday edition of The Mike O’Meara Show, Robb Spewak hosts a gripping firsthand account of Matt Sroka’s terrifying experience after becoming lost on a remote island in Tanzania. Matt recounts a journey that began as a mission trip and turned into a life-threatening ordeal—complete with rising tides, jagged rocks, and painful encounters with sea urchins.

I told you we’d have more new content. Remember Hamburger James?
No? Yes? Doesn’t matter — because today Rob absolutely rips open the vault and brings the Hamburger James saga back from the dead… just in time to traumatize Josh with every greasy, unhinged detail.
It’s confusing, unnecessary, deeply upsetting — and somehow must-listen audio.

It’s the final TMOS Bonus Show of the year! Robb talks about closing one door and opening another. Mike is uneasy in these “interesting times”. Plus, some Hope for the holidays. Stay tuned to the TMOS podcast feed all through the holidays, where new content will await you each and every day. Merry Christmas, folks! We love you; See you next year!

Ho Ho Ho! It’s a “Billy Big Voice” Christmas… brought to you by NyQuil. Have you ever played a holiday prank on a loved one? Why is 12 the hardest age? Plus, Mike loves his Brits.

Mike is sick. Josh’s brother is here… but are Robb and Dr. Sroka actually friends? Happiness is… a 12 year old at Christmas. Hey Boomer! What’s the news? Plus. poop.

Today, we are joined by Mark Malkoff, podcaster, comedian, and the author of Love Johnny Carson: One Obsessive Fan’s Journey to Find the Genius Behind the Legend. It’s a fascinating discussion that will delight anyone who remembers back when The Tonight Show was good. Also, Robb is home… but not without difficulty. Plus, Tidbits. good and bad movies… and Mike’s skin.

Robb is a people pleaser, Mike is a sandbagger, and Josh is a man of balletomane. If that doesn’t get you to listen, I don’t know what will. Do you really want all that broken down for you? It all is covered on today’s show, obviously.

Today on the show, Is Mike ready for another cruise? We want your feedback. Plus a new video layout, its time for a TMOS christmas movie, but before you leave us, Kiss Me and Hug Me Tight
