A Podcast Celebrating the Greatest TV Show Of All Time
It’s an episode we never wanted to do, but we knew we needed to do it.
This one is for our dear, sweet friend, Loretta Swit.
Memorial donations may be made to Actors & Others For Animals or the SwitHeart Animal Alliance.
Can you feel the love? Jeff & Ryan dig deep into the mailbag to share some old love letters from M*A*S*H fans. Instead of listener questions and (questionable) answers, we serve up a heaping helping of unabashed adoration for our favorite TV series of all time.

Jeff and Ryan open another big ol’ mailbag of listener questions in this episode of MASH Matters. We discuss phantom mess tent movies, square footage, showering at the 4077th, Igor’s sister’s wood, singing surgeons, and what happens when actors call in sick. Plus, we say Goodbye, Farewell, and Amen to another M*A*S*H actor, and we welcome our new co-host, Mark!

“I think that we shall never see / a podcast as lovely as episode 134.”
(Yes, we know it doesn’t rhyme.)
In this episode of MASH Matters, Jeff & Ryan wax poetic about another round of listener questions. Topics include the magnificence of Larry Linville, M*A*S*H-inspired parties, dirty long johns, neti pots, love for “Letters,” forgotten polls, bonding over Packo’s, and more. Plus, we say Goodbye, Farewell, and Amen to not one, but TWO beloved M*A*S*H actors.
At the 4077th, where the wounded came fast,
There stood Private Igor, a cook unsurpassed—
Not in skill, nor in taste, nor in fine cuisine,
But in making chow hall nightmares unforgettably obscene.
His coffee could melt through a five-ton Jeep.
His stew once caused a Marine to weep.
His mashed potatoes could be used to paper a wall.
And his Jell-O once bounced straight out of the mess hall.
For lunch one day, with a gleam in his eye,
Igor prepared pickled beef—no one knew why
it shimmered, it wobbled, it smelled kind of sweet,
But tasted like rubber with undertones of feet.
“Today’s lunch,” he announced with a mischievous grin,
As the doctors all braced for the horrors therein.
Hawkeye took one bite and nearly passed out,
B.J. examined it—“It’s alive!” he did shout.
Even Father Mulcahy prayed for a sign,
that Igor might learn how to properly brine.
Klinger, in gowns, refused to partake—
Said, “I may be crazy, but I’m not eating that steak!”
Yet through all the chaos, one truth remained clear,
Igor’s cooking was everyone’s fear.
For through battle and bloodshed, one challenge stood tall—
Surviving whatever he served in the mess hall!
