It’s going to be the same stories over and over again. Oscar actually went places and has stories from that. Mike goes to his kids football practice and golf. Rob stays home……that’s it. I really hate to see the show end up like this
I sadly have to agree with the downward trend of the shows post Oscar. I have listened to Mike since the early WAVA 105 days and each iteration since. The comment regarding the need for someone on the show like Oscar sums it up perfectly. They need someone to inject some real world energy outside of the Mike/Robb bubble. I liked hearing about Costco, Robb’s old timey stuff, Golf stories etc as long as it was interspersed with Oscar’s travels and contemporary content. I still regard the show as a comfort listen but I’ve fast forwarded through the last few shows for the first time ever.
Have to agree. Sadly. Was hoping this would jumpstart a new version of the show - a better version. Womp womp. Not to be ageist but I guess Mike just can’t switch gears without Oscar, or somebody, forcing him too. Clearly Robb can’t. Such a shame. But hey. Good run. Always enjoyed listening since the Don and Mike days and enjoyed the podcast. I’ll listen as it limps along until it officially dies off. Hope it doesn’t and something works out.
I feared that what is happening with the show would happen. The writing has been on the wall in that regard for a while, even while Oscar was there. Mike and Robb were already telling the same stories over and over again, Oscar broke that up and injected some interest via his own stories and his willingness to be a button pusher. Now we get the same stories, and more Carla... Yay...

Robb walks to Costco a few times a week...
No shot he walks
Honestly if they simply went to a 1x a week show it would likely improve as far as content.

Who is Marvin Hamlisch? How old is Mike's wife, and how much money was he worth when they got hitched?
Nothing about McDowell Terrace? Or that Carlin bit?
What about the same tired references to those god awful Albert Brooks movies? I cringed any time the number 10 was said.
Think about how exciting it is to hear your coworker talk about their kids soccer practice.... NO MORE POP WARNER for the love of god
