It’s finally Spring at the 4077th, so you know what that means? New loves! Weddings! Bodyguards! Nothing says Spring quite like a fresh bodyguard! …Right?

We get a particularly in-depth look at the challenges of hours upon hours of surgery and the emotional toll it takes on the staff of the 4077 in an episode that takes place exclusively in the OR. In other words, we kind of geeked out and somehow spent a full hour singing this episode's praises!

A Regular-Army type general comes to inspect the camp. Normal MASH stuff, right? WRONG! When the general spends the night in Margaret’s tent and ends up dying in her bed, she enlists Hawkeye and Trapper to hide the body- literally. But that’s not all, the general’s aide is determined to make it seem the general died in blazing glory, fighting on the battlefield- except he can’t find any fighting…i...

Hawkeye is appointed officer of the day by acting commanding officer Frank Burns, which means he’ll have to deal with all sorts of crazy things at the 4077, including Korean civilians seeking medical attention, some sticky-fingered kids, and Klinger making desperate escape attempts to Seoul. Oh yeah, and not to mention Col. Flagg showing up and wanting to execute a patient. Music credit: “Feel Goo...

In this special episode, Vanessa and Ethan take a look at few of their favorite non M*A*S*H holiday episodes!

Hawkeye and Trapper prepare for an R and R trip to Tokyo, so naturally, things go wrong! After some grueling surgery, the camp is contacted by a Chinese doctor hoping to do a patient exchange. Will things go well, or will someone (Frank) mess things up?!  Content warning: This episode contains brief mild discussion of the word “rape."   Music credit:  “Feel Good Rock” by Jason Shaw, https://audion...

Welcome to Season 3! A new regular army-type general implements some new and strict regulations for the 4077. When the orders become increasingly strange, we understand why when General Steele visits the camp.  Music credit:  “Feel Good Rock” by Jason Shaw, https://audionautix.com/   Contact the show:  mashmouthpod@gmail.com Socials:  @valiantlyoffbalance on Instagram  @OfficialVOB on Twitter  @ma...

This episode was called A Smattering of Intelligence because there were only two brain cells to go around, and they did not belong to the spies. A weird season finale to be sure! We’ll be going on a short break after this episode, but we’ll be back on December 9th for season 3! Mark your calendars, and thanks for listening!  Music credit:  “Feel Good Rock” by Jason Shaw, https://audionautix.com/  ...

Getting mail has never been so fun! It brings the camp exciting stock prospects, baked goods, penpals, and more! But unfortunately, it isn’t all good news, as Klinger is informed of nothing but family illness and pregnancy. Will that poor man ever catch a break?

It’s “Equality Kings”, Hawkeye & Trapper,  versus “Man of Many Layers (all of which are kind of bad)”, Frank Burns. What else is new? This time, Frank wants to out a young gay soldier and get him a dishonorable discharge. Hawk and Trapp devise a scheme to stop Frank in his tracks and help the young man finish his tour of duty. Who will win in this battle of wits? Take a wild guess.  “M*A*S*H’s...

When the camp has some downtime, the 4077 combats boredom. A little “monkey business” and a medical emergency ensues.  Music credit:  “Feel Good Rock” by Jason Shaw, https://audionautix.com/   Contact the show:  mashmouthpod@gmail.com Socials:  @valiantlyoffbalance on Instagram  @OfficialVOB on Twitter  @mashmouthpod on Instagram  @EthanWasCool on Instagram and Twitter  @unvanesscessary on Instagr...

Watch out, we get big mad at this very good episode of television! When Korean family claims that the 4077 is on their land, shenanigans ensue! And at the same time, a Korean woman claims Radar is the father of her child, despite his obvious inexperience. Join us for a few good rants!

Hawkeye and Trapper go on a secret mission to help a self-conscious Sergeant get a nose job! (Or a rhinoplasty, as we prefer to call it!) But of course, no plan can commence at 4077 without a little meddling from Frank and Margaret!    This episode was edited by Jacob Freer-Balko! Thanks! Stay tuned to the end of the show to hear him call us out 😝 And listen to his radio show here: https://tmbars...

With a huge hole in the bottom of his boot, Hawkeye has to call in favors for everyone in the camp so he can get a new pair of shoes. By the end, everything seems to have fallen into place but when something is very precarious at the 4077, we know it’s bound to implode in on itself! Join us for one wild ride of an episode!    Music credit:  “Feel Good Rock” by Jason Shaw, https://audionautix.com/...

It’s been 50 years since M*A*S*H first premiered on CBS in 1972! And in much smaller news, it’s the one year anniversary of when we started this podcast! Crazy! Indulge us as we talk about some of our experiences from the past year, as well as look back M*A*S*H’s 30th anniversary reunion special.    Music credit:  “Feel Good Rock” by Jason Shaw, https://audionautix.com/     Contact the show:  mash...

ATTENTION ALL PERSONNEL: The hosts did not enjoy this episode!

To show his appreciation to the 4077 for saving his son, General Mitchell awards the camp with an officers' club. The only problem? No enlisted men allowed. Hawkeye and Trapper, ever the kings of fairness, have to think of a creative way around the discrimination of their friends.    Video Mentioned:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RgI1yH2_ys   Music credit:  “Feel Good Rock” by Jason Shaw, http...

Vanessa and Ethan scream about women being cool for about half an hour. JK, but actually pretty accurate! Margaret decides she's done with not only Frank Burns, but the whole 4077 and requests a transfer. Just when it seems she actually might go through with it, Margaret realizes she's exactly where she's supposed to be.    Music credit:  “Feel Good Rock” by Jason Shaw, https://audionautix.com/  ...

There’s nothing like a poker game! But we should know by now that a game of poker at the 4077 will be especially interesting, considering emergency surgery, a hit-and-run scheme, and a hostage situation all happening between hands!     Music credit:  “Feel Good Rock” by Jason Shaw, https://audionautix.com/     Contact the show:  mashmouthpod@gmail.com   Socials:  @valiantlyoffbalance on Instagram ...

After another all-out rager, Hawkeye and Trapper decide to clean up their act and get a much-needed incubator for the 4077. But, of course, they have to battle military bureaucracy and some corrupt higher-ups along the way. Note: Henry Blake is your dad, my dad, everyone’s dad.    Music credit:  “Feel Good Rock” by Jason Shaw, https://audionautix.com/     Contact the show:  mashmouthpod@gmail.com...

When a flu outbreak at the 4077 leaves Hawkeye the only available surgeon, he and Margaret must operate the camp while everyone else is under the weather. With the help of Radar and the rest of the nursing staff, they just might make it!    Music credit:  “Feel Good Rock” by Jason Shaw, https://audionautix.com/     Contact the show:  mashmouthpod@gmail.com   Socials:  @valiantlyoffbalance on Insta...

The camp is put to the test when they come under fire from a North Korean sniper! Who will be able to step up and lead the camp to safety, and who will fall behind? …You can probably guess it won't be Frank. Ft. Radar’s bare butt!    Music credit:  “Feel Good Rock” by Jason Shaw, https://audionautix.com/     Contact the show:  mashmouthpod@gmail.com   Socials:  @valiantlyoffbalance on Instagram  @...

Hawkeye writes to his dad once again! But unfortunately, we think this letter could use a second draft.

When Henry is brought up on charges (some ridiculous, some not) by Frank and Margaret, Hawkeye and Trapper see right through it as a ploy to install Frank as the commanding officer. But we know our favorite scheming prankster doctors won’t let Henry be charged with treason (yes! Literal treason!) without a fight!    Music credit:  “Feel Good Rock” by Jason Shaw, https://audionautix.com/     Contac...
