Matt Trakker Made Us Take Labor Day Off 1:42

7h ago1:42

1:42

Send a Priority One Message to M.A.S.K. HQ! Yes, you read that right. Matt is being kind enough to give us the day off on Labor Day. And by that we mean he was ordered by a federal judge. Have a very Happy Labor Day everyone!!! P.S. - Stay 'til the end for a recently unearthed 80's gem! https://www.instagram.com/m.a.s.k.podcast/…

Bruce Sato: No Jacket Required 52:49

5h ago52:49

52:49

Send a Priority One Message to M.A.S.K. HQ! This week, Bruce hugs a topless guy in the snow, a 65 million year old virus is unearthed, and V.E.N.O.M. builds a shopping mall in the Arctic Circle. So, pretty much par for the course. Plus, Scott is abandoned in sub-zero temperatures, and T-Bob comes one step closer to rebelling against his programming…

Gloria Baker and the Dumpster Fire 55:59

5h ago55:59

55:59

Send a Priority One Message to M.A.S.K. HQ! This episode starts with such a great premise -- a nuclear submarine controlled by a rogue A.I. threatens the Panama Canal. But that's where the greatness ends. What we get instead is a complete dumpster fire of an episode. Twenty-two minutes of M.A.S.K. toy commercials would have been a better use of the…

Scott Trakker's Ice Cream Addiction 50:02

1d ago50:02

50:02

Send a Priority One Message to M.A.S.K. HQ! Look, we're going to be honest here. This episode goes to some dark places regarding Scott, T-Bob, and an ice cream shop. If you are easily disturbed, disgusted, or lactose intolerant, you might want to skip this episode. On the plus side, we've got very petty gangsters, Miles slumming it, and Matt's cont…

It's an extra special…

Sly Rax's Acid Trip 46:08

1M ago46:08

46:08

Send a Priority One Message to M.A.S.K. HQ! Surely there’s a better way to make money than breaking into temples in Singapore and melting down the gold statues inside, but, okay Miles, great plan! Also, Scott is almost killed by an elephant, T-Bob is treated like garbage, and Sly Rax has a really bad acid trip. All on this week’s episode of the Mob…

Scott Tries to Kill T-Bob 53:06

1M ago53:06

53:06

Send a Priority One Message to M.A.S.K. HQ! Yes, it finally happened. After years of neglect from his father, and after watching his father's rogue paramilitary organization at work for just as long, Scott finally snapped and tried to take out T-Bob. Was it successful? Listen to find out. Also, more lost cities in jungles and even more questionable…

Scott Trakker's Flipper Hands 45:17

29d ago45:17

45:17

Send a Priority One Message to M.A.S.K. HQ! What could be more disturbing than V.E.N.O.M.'s dastardly plan to ransom the Statue of Liberty? How about Miles Mayhem's petty destruction of an innocent magician's career? WHAT DID WONDRO DO TO YOU, MILES?! That, and Scott Trakker's flipper hands, on this week's episode of the Mobile Armored Podcast Show…

Matt Trakker, Ladies Man 45:59

2M ago45:59

45:59

Send a Priority One Message to M.A.S.K. HQ! Like most of you, Adam and PJ strongly oppose the rampant deforestation of the Amazon rainforest. Having said that, if we were forced to come up with ways for destroying the jungle, don't you think giant caterpillars would be last on that list? Well, not for Miles Mayhem, whose latest scientific achieveme…

R.I.P. Thunderhawk 50:49

2M ago50:49

50:49

Send a Priority One Message to M.A.S.K. HQ! What could possibly drive Matt Trakker to sacrifice the greatest M.A.S.K. vehicle of all time? To save his son? To prevent the end of the world? What about a trade-in deal at the local car dealership? Nope! Thunderhawk is sacrificed in order to... well, if you can figure it out, please let us know. That, …

Miles Mayhem's Giant Holes 49:50

2M ago49:50

49:50

Send a Priority One Message to M.A.S.K. HQ! Writing evil villains is simple. Give them a goal, and a crazy ultimatum if they don't achieve that goal. "Give me all the gold in the world or I'll blow up the moon." That's pretty good, right? In "The Magma Mole", Miles threatens to cause Mt. Fuji to erupt unless... NOTHING. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. HE NEVER…

Miles Mayhem Ends Life on Earth 44:48

2M ago44:48

44:48

Send a Priority One Message to M.A.S.K. HQ! In this week's episode, it's all over for one lucky city if Miles pulls off his dastardly plan. Of course, his plan involves crashing a comet into Earth, which means it's probably over for all life on Earth if he succeeds. Is preventing an extinction level event worth 25 million dollars in gold bars? YES!…

Buddy Hawks, Loincloth Enthusiast 48:27

Send a Priority One Message to M.A.S.K. HQ! We don't even know where to begin with the glorious trainwreck that is M.A.S.K.'s "The Oz Effect." Watch in awe (or horror) as VENOM's theatrical slave-labor scheme goes hilariously awry, complete with fake cobras and a tornado machine that would make the Wizard of Oz blush. Meanwhile, Buddy Hawks takes c…

I Need Thunderhawk, Bruce! 48:35

3M ago48:35

48:35

Send a Priority One Message to M.A.S.K. HQ! This week, we dive into Mask Episode 8: "The Roteks," where Venom decides metal-eating bugs are the next big thing. Because why not? Also, Matt's grilling hot dogs like he’s had one too many, Hondo’s got an attitude, and the team's mask powers are put to the most questionable use yet. And can we talk abou…

Mayhem's Colonic Disruptor 46:51

3M ago46:51

46:51

Send a Priority One Message to M.A.S.K. HQ! We thought Miles was going into the medical equipment business until we realized he was saying "cyclonic" disruptor. We're still a bit disappointed, tbh. Also, "funny-looking domes", dirty bombs, Matt uses Scott and T-Bob as canaries in a coal mine, and Gloria reveals even new levels of her hard core adre…
