    Aug 10 2025

    In this episode of MatTalk, Jason and John break down Matlock Season 6, Episode 16 – “The Big Payoff.” Things take an unexpected turn when Ben Matlock, ever the frugal attorney, hires a hitchhiker to paint his house… who turns out to be none other than country music legend Randy Travis!
