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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

There’s nothing like a poker game!

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.

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.

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!

Hawkeye writes to his dad once again! But unfortunately, we think this letter could use a second draft. Not terrible, but a bit of a mixed bag.

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!

We guess it really is true that Hawkeye is a “hopeless romantic” because in this episode he jumps through some pretty bureaucratic hoops in order for a young soldier and his Korean wife to get married so they can take their baby state-side.

All right, one thing has to be addressed up top: Vanessa and Ethan call a “minefield'' a “landmine” the entire time, and you’re just going to have to deal with that, okay? Otherwise, we hope you enjoy this episode! We have a fun time discussing Trapper being a good dad, and even learn something about real world Korean adoption! But we know the whole landmine thing is going to annoy some people! We’re sorry! Sources on Topics Discussed: https://www.holtinternational.org/about/ https://www.govinfo...
A sleep-deprived Hawkeye goes on a mission to find out the real reasons why they’re in Korea. His efforts include sending a telegram asking President Truman who’s responsible for the war and, on advice from Frank, attempting to give the North Koreans an unconventional peace offering.
Strap in folks, this is a heavy one. Despite repeated warnings to drop his crusade, Hawkeye is very outspoken about the army’s responsibility for a recent bombing of a Korean village. But Hawk underestimates just how far the military is willing to go to keep the story, and Hawkeye, quiet.

Alert the MASH subreddit, we’re covering a favorite! This aptly titled episode chronicles a week in the life of the 4077 through Radar’s weekly report to HQ.

When the 4077 is bombed so consistently by an incompetent enemy pilot, it becomes a spectator sport! Zow-wee! But of course Frank has to be the stick in the mud and try to get an anti-aircraft gun, which is somehow a bigger threat to the camp than the bomber!

They say you have to be a little bit crazy to work in the medical field, and this episode puts that to the test! General Clayton sends over a psychiatrist to evaluate the 4077's collective mental health, and surprise surprise, the camp’s zany antics don’t go over well.

Season finale, baby! The 4077th tries to enjoy a USO show while their minds are elsewhere; thinking of birth, illness, injury, and a vicious prank war!

This episode is just like fool’s gold. It’s not the worst thing ever, but it is disappointing. After a few pranks go too far, Frank and Margaret put in to transfer out of the 4077th. Will they really leave the series so early on into its run? Or will some contrived nonsense get them to stay? Is this the lowest point of the series, like some of the cast and crew believe? Hard to say, but we did have a good time making fun of it, so that’s cool. Music credit: “Feel Good Rock” by Jason Shaw, https:...
We hope you like House MD because we reference that show at least five times in this episode! Hawkeye goes through a bit of an identity crisis when his patient isn’t recovering despite his best efforts. Is Hawkeye’s breakdown because he’s a good doctor, wanting the best for his patients, or is it all in service of his ego? Listen to find out! This one leans hard into classic medical drama!

We hope the 4077 paid attention during those duck and cover videos! When an unexploded missile lands in the middle of the compound, Hawkeye and Trapper are tasked with diffusing it. Everyone copes with the danger in different yet equally hilarious ways, so Vanessa and Ethan think this episode is the bomb! 1991 “Sexy Saxophone” Syndication Promo https://youtu.be/ZcKOHpl8duw Music credit: “Feel Good Rock” by Jason Shaw, https://audionautix.com/ Contact the show: mashmouthpod@gmail.com Socials: @va...
When it’s freezing cold, the man who can stay warm is King. With a delay in supplies, Hawkeye’s pair of longjohns become a hot commodity during the cold winter months.

Ugh, 18 episodes in and already repeating concepts. 😒 KIDDING! This episode is great! Hawkeye writes another letter to his father all about the happens at the 4077th, including: Hawkeye exposing some private details during lunch, Frank finally loosening up a bit, Radar getting an education, and one new doctor who isn’t quite kosher.
